be one million ; a duty on successions and legacies to •
produce 30 millions, and the establishment of a fire in-
surance office by the state, which will produce 5 millions.
" The amount to be derived from these taxes estati-
li,hed or proposed by the Provisional Government will
reach 251 millions, to which he adds 2 millions remaining
of the Loan of 1841, 20 millions on the National Loan,
on which 18 millions have been already paid up; 5
millions for the revenues of the Crown lands, 2 millions
from the reduction of the discount allowed to the tobacco
dealers, and a little more than 1 million in the surplus
of the ordinary direct taxes; in all 281 millions; from
which deducting 79 millions of non valeers, leaves au
increase of 202 millions.
"The improved budget will thus present the sum of
1,641 millions of expenses, and 1,652 millions for re-
sources, showing a surplus of receipts of 11 millions.
" Such is the plan developed by M. Garnier Pages,
in terms not a little optimist. He terminated his report
by declaring that the Republic saved France from bank-
ruptcy. This is an idea which he appears to cherish
warmly, and he has several times expressed it publicly;
we fear, however, that the idea is not participated in by
the depositors in the savings' banks and the holders of
Treasury bonds, for we do not observe that be alluded
at all to the fate of the former, and as to the latter he
advises them to consolidate in Five per Cent. Rentes,
without, however, stating at what rate he will effect that
consolidation."
It is thought that M. CREMIEUX will succeed M.
LEDRU ROLLIN as Minister of the Interior. M.
JULES FAYRE is, it is said, put forward by LEDRU
ROLLIN for the vacant office. A more objectionable
appointment could not be made. M. JULES FAVRE
is the author of the celebrated No. 16 of the " Bul-
letin de la Republique," and was LEDRU ROLLIN'S
under-secretary.
Serious disturbances have broken out at Toulon,
in consequence of the dismissal by M. LEDRU
ROLLIN'S Commissary of M. SUCHET from the post
of mayor. Tranquillity was not restored until the
Commissary had promised that M. SUCHET should be
reinstated.
In consequence of the difficulty of obtaining coal
and iron ore, many of the furnaces at St. Dizier have
ceased working.
The celebrated comedian VERNET died on Sunday

last from the gout.
The Reforme calls upon the sentinels of Repub-
lican France to beware, for that a fresh coalition is
being formed against her. It founds its apprehen-
sion on a statement which appeared in the German
papers that fifty thousand troops were being assembled
between Bamberg and Nuremberg. This army, ac-
cording to the liyorme, is, together with numerous
detachments of Prussians, Austrians, and Saxons, to
march against Strasburg !
Great activity prevails in the Foreign -office. It is
said that M. DE LAMARTINE has proposed that an
European congress shall be held for the settlement of
the affairs of Poland, Italy, and Germany.
