Chamber the state of the Finances of the King-.I

great, the Chamber was crbWaetl with autlitOtt,
The Tribunes were too small to contain the
crowd. Several Ladies,- rather than forego the
pleasitre.Which they. promised themselves of liear-
ing and seeing Baron Louis, invaded the Chamber,
and 'took possession of the seats appropriated to
the Legislators. This intrusion was against the
Standing Orders, but French gallantry would not
perMit the Legislators to enforce theta with ri
.guur. They recollected that, upon great occasiont,,
the Legislators of Antiquity used to cover dee laws
with a veil when the infraction of them was in=
evitable. Some English Ladies,' who were easily.
known by-their little hats in, the shape of a shell,
also got into the Chamber, much more easily than
-they could at Westminster.' 'Whatever advantages
t,
.04nglisti pretend to have over us, they must
confess their infer►ntity to the French in urbanity
and politeness to the Ladies. Tilat is always a
point gained-.
At half-past one o'clock' the Ministers of the
King were announced,and the Abbfi Alm\tesquoiit,
Baron Louis, and M. Ferraud took their places
on the. seats ,assigned, to them. The Minister of
Finances then ascended the Tribune. Isis, dis-
course was clear and methodical, and delivered
with a firm and distinct voice: The silence of the
Assembly was so profound that We had 110 diffi-
culty in following him.

The Minister begun by enumerating the diffi-
culties which he had to surmount in ascertaining
precisely the financial operations of last year,
which were, nevertheless, indispensably neces.,
sury as a/guide on the present occasion. It was
necessary to. seek, in the present state of the
finances, the means of clearing up that chaos
'which subsisted, and to form an exact statement

of the arrears of receipts and expenditures.
public must know hOw many extraordinary ef-
fects, how many immense disbursements,. have
been made since the Ist of January, 1814. In
the -first three months we contemplate an arrear
of 230 mill►ons of livres (9,700,0001.) In the
..second three• mouths, the w►se %Economy which
was adopted reduced the expellees one-half, while
the receipts were doubled; the rcceivta wtre fruwo
ever totally disproportioned;to the expenditure
which the public safety required ; but thanks to
the vigilence anti prudence of Government, there
will not be a ditproportion of more than 1-Bth be-

The

tweet) the receipts and expences in the third three
months of-this year. In the last quarter it is
hoped there ‘vill be an excess of receipt of one-
'fifth, and in 1815 a perfect equilibrium will be es-
If the former system had been folloried, the.
Governmentwould have expended 1,245,800,000
livres, about 52,000,0001. but-by means of redue-
tion, of, ceconomy,' of the evacuation of French
territory by foreign troops, and the amelioration
which has taken place in all the branches of the
public revenue, that sum has been diminished by
418,601.‘,J00 livres, and the receipts will amount
to 827,415,000 !lyres. It was found impossible to
avoid including in this Budget of 331 millions of
livres, which hail *been expedded in the'ordinar;y
services, before the present Ministers came into
office. There would therefore be a deficiency to
that amount, which-the Chamber would nave to
make good.TheMinisters would haSten today be-_
fore the Chamber all the necessary information, anti
the documents necessary. to enable the Ministers
to form their judgment. It was necessary on the
present occasion to consider of the ways and
means to raise the Ways, and Means. It was im-
possible, at the present period' of the year, to
change the nature or the taxes, without affecting
the sources of the public 'revenue-, and-producing
the most serious inconveniences,

The direct taxes .were-those which afforded the
greatest ground for hope. They might be esti-1
mated at a sum of 291',500,000 livres. The
Registry, Stamps, &c. &e. 114,000,000 livres ;
indirect duties, • 86;500,000 livres ; doors, win-

can only be.hoped for from the influence of peace,
the mother of industry ; from the re-establish-
ment of order in all the branches of •the Govern-
ment; from the effects of a paternal Government,
and from that public spirit which multiplies the re-
sources of the people. Some regard must also be bid
for these unhappy countries which have been the
theatre of the war. The service of the year 161.5

The King also wishes to give to the Adminis-
tration a firm and steady course,- to encourage
letters, the arts, sciences, and industry, and to
carry the State to the' highest degreeof prosperity.
Of which it is susceptible. . To prOvide the inside
necessary to cover the expellees of 1513, the Mi=
nister of'-Finances took a detailed evieW of the
variout,tources of the public revenue. The di-.
reet imposts would amount to 340 millions; the du
ties of registry, -&e.' 120 Millions ; the Post Mi-
lks, Lotteries, Canals, &C. 28 millions ; indirect
Contributions, 130 millions. total, 618 millions.'
was not without r,egret that the Duty on Wines,

-collection !Sere 'known, and the King Would
have abolished it, but the state of the kingdom
compelled him not to give up resources, the_loss
of which would have been fatal .to the safety Of
the State. lie has nevertheless directed his Mini
sters to adopt
,every means to get rid -of those
vexatious forms which have lit;en complained of
since the duty was first laid on. The Minister then
proceeded to state, that the deficit on the Ist
-April last, was 1,305,000,0G0 livers-, from which,
a sum of •549 millions might be deducted ; as the'
payment of it could not he strit;tly_enforced, there
would remain a sum of 7'39,00,000, legally sub;
ject to payment. Tbk -was- .\burthen which it.
was necessary' to get rid of with tpanour, that is
to say, with justice. The creditors would re-
ceive a solid pledge for their debts.; Ist,, in the-
strictest ceednotny in the expellees ; 2dly, in the
alienation of a certain portion of woods, and
of all-old national property ; 3dly, the names of
such creditors being inscribed in the Great Hook,
with an interest of five per ceut.. The other se-
curities should be payable in three years from this
.date, bearing an interest of eight her cent. The
Minister then proceeded to detail the form of the
distrihutiOn, and of the repayment of these obliga-
tions. lie after Wards adverted to the plan of a
Sinking VOnd for reducing the estAlished Debt
and enlarged upon the happy effects of such a sys-
tem upon -the Public Credit, and upon this part of
the subject he quoted the example of Kngland:
The above is a short extract of the Speech of
Baron Louis. The Projet of the law Which he pre--.
. ktipted to the Chamber, Was the 'necessary result
of -111e' above S-tazement. ; 'there were, however,
three new points in it ; Ist, That there should, be
granted to the Departments which have suffered,
by the ravages of the war, the necessary allevia-
tions ; 2d, The Departments which have ex-
perienced an increase or a diminution are to
be taxed proportionably; 3d, No imposts, ex-
. ceps those sanctioned by the present law; shall be
'raised. under any pretext.
The speech was then ordered to be printed;
and distributed. among the Members.

Fornier-St.-Larry mounted the Tribune,
and called the -attention of the Chamber fo a
subject of the highest importartee—"- the I►ay-
« ment of the debts contracted by the King dur-
" inn his abode in Foreign Countries."-This.
proposition was recommended iu alt atile and
feeling speech, and received ‘vith honourable
unanimity.
