Fellow-subjects of the British Empire,
The old Parliament has ceased to exi-t,
and the election of its Members is in your hands. a of
Never has a Parliament been called under circumstance-
deryer
.interest to the upper, middle, and operative classes'
This Parliament will have to decide upon measures that will p.
petuate your adversity, or give you high permanent proticte"tlii
All parties feel that some great change is at hand, and` tha
should• be directed by sound thinking practical men. d,
The lime is arrived for all party animosities to be abandone.,,
a new one is called,
and for general principles and practices to be adopted that
be productive of progressive national advantages-
convince
It is for you, by the Members whom you elect, to t
the world that you Lave advanced beyond the narrow and ro,_e_st
injurious views of mere party and personal considerations---ta,i.
you desire, as speedily as possible, to terminate clas,lves and
tion, and to obtain the rights of humanity for yourse
your children, that you may no longer remain the slaves 0t
ignorant system which is most injurious to all clas,es•to
To secure these righ:s, and gradually to prer are societ y
abandon class legislation on the oppression of wealth over r
verty, e followin measures are neck- si.ary :
Ist, to
graduated property-tat equal to the neccssa4l4lPen,
edisus of the nation.

2d, The abolition of all other taxes.
3d, Free trade with all the world.
4th, National education for all who desire it.

religious, and political. istians,
7th, Full and complete freedom of religion CIA' for art
Jews, Alahemedans, llindoos, and every other form,
every name by which men may call themselves. from
All these measures are necesary to relieve the nation6an
the accumulated and aaeumu'sating difficulties in which
er-
roneous system has nearly overwh'elmed it. chat no
Each of these measures is just individually, and to
good man, who desires to benefit his country,
advocate in tis lace in the ensuing. Parliament. 111
I", eioo to
therefore, be ac orrect test to put to candidates for elec.' sure
the new Parliament ; and their replies'to each will 10 %ea to
proof how far the applicants for your suffrages are ouali y
become your Representatives, and to legislate well -and
for the nation, and to abandon all petty class interests. toes
Any candidate who shall refuse to advocate these llae°ndee
is unfit to become a Member of the British Legislature oi.ti
the new circumbt.ances in ivl.ieh the progress of science luthe
prat...lea' knowledge among the working cla,ses has placed

flie:e are measures which will satisfy all intelligent wo. ,nj
tentiored persons, and none of this character will -retls_o„,
with any measures less just and beneficial than
proposed for the whole population.
It is therefore s'rongly recommended that the electors s_
too,
question every candidate for a scat in the new Parliament ash' all
of these measures, and that they will give their vote to s" ,s to
as will consent to bring forward or advocate these eha,"; ro-
the present system, that cur country may be saved lro

FRENCH FINANCES.
CHAMBER OF PEERS.
SITTING OF JUNE 23.
The Chair was taken at two o'clock, by the Duke de fiteglie?
one of the Vice-Presidents.
The Order of the Day was the discussion of the
Budget of Receipts for 1842.
M. Humann, Minister of Finance, addressed the Ch,ac.blubeesc;
He said the Government participated in the regret hio the
often expressed by it at the late period of the diseussiee eabi-
Budget, and he begged to assure the Chamber that the,ool,,
ns t had done all in its power not to deserve this rep 04
Nothing could be more distant from its views than eel-
to prevent the exercise of the prerogative of control po ova
by the Peers. In order that the Chamber might 00t he ore
by surkrise, he had presented the Budget in a ulue earls
• le
summary form than was Usual, and by thee coo
had enabled the Committee to examine it wi'•" e pole
before the discussion should come on. As they Ftrsetae
about to discuss the budget of receipts, he would .°" end t°
explanations, which were alike due to the Chain he,r shoo'
himself. The Minister here entered into long &taus, for
ing the state of the public finances ; they were, howel?bael
the greater part, a repetition of the expose whiela he
made in the other Chamber. He added, that he haiiejeo
to beliei:e the receipts would exceed the estimates. f too/
five mcnths of the present year presented a sueehis of
16.59 f
millions and a half over the corresponding months t'e 040.
and nearly six millions over the corresponding month' e`
If this favourable state of things should continue, as I,leote for
it would, as the year promised to be prosperous LL„10
agriculture and trade, there would be a considerableXV
beyond the estimated sum at the end of the year- ee events
nothing to raise a doubt in his mind, unless unexpeet'ilibyo
should occur as to the possibility of establishing an equ of the
in the budget of 1843, iswithout weakening the resource! _ evict
State. The desire of the Government was to deserve Ow 4.11,,d0
will of the nation by strict economy in the use of tbeeetiite
which were entrusted to its care. Alluding to the ..efai.sh
which were requisite to enable the Ministry to es sad
an equilibrium between receipts and expeaditl Ai
against which an outcry had been set up,
mann said that the Committee on the 13ucige• a"
cone'
appi eciated the just and equitable character of the
sloe
which he had adopted as to a general census, lay eel
triumphantly that the object, so far from being to lay „etieg
taxation, was to apportion fairly the burthen*of the C.. eere
taxes. He felt it right to inform the Chamber that din that-
-110,900 houses on which no taxes were imposed, sad
(14
several thousands of persons liable to the pate?eince 05.
not pay that tax. Was it fair that this exception, 0,010 be,:
a hardship upon those who paid the patents tax, should
al:owed to continue ? He thought not. On the
his circular, which had been complained of as if it 566' iti
great crime, M. Humann said he was prepared to jabot
in every respect, for its object was to do justice to 311
,1100
concerned. , The Minister here read the circular, well'
simply recommends to the Prefects to use the greatet ogee'
taking an equitable census, so as to permit an eclaillale cc";
tion of taxation according to the means of all. but
tended that this circular was not only strictly legal, athie'
it a'so tended to a fair and equal mode of taxation, aneto th
that, so far from his having laid himself oneii
charge which had been so unfairly brought agaiust b•!,', bee
had been more mild in his orders, as to the eeesg'9„Tbeel
predecessors on similar occasions. For instance, 5,6 "",1
asked whether the gates cf avenues were to be ta:(e'''' caw'
de Villele had replied, yes. Ile replied no. theitilanes,
merated many other objects, such as small fixed joubt
the doors, outhouses, &n., on which there bad beqie-tesebe
as to whether they ought to be taxed or not, and sal'euld
had invariably. given instructions that no attempt see Fe
made to strain the law to the prejudice of the !dx,;tes at;
The Minister then said, that having replied to iris' a
tacks, which enlightened arid honourable men we.: eerwee
how to appreciate, he would admit that there ece'ecetteia','
portions of the law as regarded tax-payers, wilic,hee p•ir,v
might be more equitable than they were. He allude:{
eularly to the door and window-tax, observing tb3t • isel'e
rior situations, where property was oh comparatieeeYopere
vale°, the tax was the same as in situations where Picea,
had a high value. The tax was the same in the "ter ieeitaiee
lard, for instance, as in the Rue de Riven, la ii,ls.iceties'
this mode of levying the tax ought to undergo Ti'°"l After
and it should be reulated by the value of the liouse'n, col;
some general observations on the census, M. nn'arese he,e
eluded by saying that if a portion of the publc, 1.)-1 ,
attempted to misrepresent his conduct
ado his intentgei'lerin
tax-payers themselves would allow that ensus was 'creese
sable, and that it was not the forerunner of any
taxation, as they had been led to believe.
Alter a few observations by the Count de Aloshourg °n th,.titee4
Budget of receipts, in so low a tone that he was at eve"
scarcely audible, the sitting was adjourned at half-Iss
Galignani's Messenger.
