LONIDON, TUESDAY EVENING, JUNE

THE FEENCH REPUBLIC

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
The Journaldes Debater has a long article front the
pen of Ai 211CHEI. CHEVALIER on the Bury and ne-
cessity of the Assembly at once adopting some mea-
sures for the amelioration of the coodition of the
labouring ohm's. M. CHEVALIER hi; is at the mea-
sures to be adopted in the following sentence :
" In a neighbouring country fresh combinations of the
Customs tariff hive bran tried with great advantage to
COMM. rce and nintVactures, and with great benefit for
the most numerius class of the people, who since that
period have lino more employment, live better, and at a
cheaper rate. ?hey consist in giving to labour more
freedom in the partAase of the raw CO iterjals, and to the
consumer more freedom in procuring for himself what
is
libert neces-ar
to iny fur the supply of his wants. To give more
y dustty is to increase its truitlulness; to give
more freedom toeousumers ie to increase their riches,
and to the workrnan to augment his wages. With us,
however, the sunject has not been touched even with the
great. st circumspection; and ee maintain a cust
tariff, which is wire restrictive and more vexatious than
an) In the tour qtariers of the globe."
The Committee on parliamentary initiative ap-
proved on Saturiav the report of M. RICHE on the
proposition of M. Mosley, for placing an annual tax
on incomes arising from capital placed-1. In rentes
of the States. 2. In negotiable effects. 3. In
shares in companies. 4. Li perpetual or life rentes
5. In mortgages. 6. In privileged credits on real
property. Tne Committee, without expressing any
approbation of, the proposition, recommends that it
shall be taken into consideration, in order to be re-
ferred to the Committee on the Budget.
We read as follows in the Evenenzent:—" Can it
be true that M. BERRYER has written to M. BONA-
PARTE a confidential letter in which he promises his
support and that of his party for the prolongation of
the Presidential powers ?"
M. CARET has arrived in Paris, and has surren-
dered to take his trial on the charges brought against
him by the disappointed Icarians.
