FRANCE.

In the Assembly yesterday M. DE ST. BEUVE
brought forward his proposition for a modification of
the Customs tariff by the substitution of the prin-
ciple of free trade for that of protection. In support
of his system he repeatedly invoked the authority of
Sir ROBERT PEEL, whom he proclaimed the greatest
statesman of modern time, a benefactor of humanity,
and the saviour of his country. The plan M. ST.
BEUVE recommended was founded on the following
principles :-1. The suppression of all protective duties
on articles of food; 2. The suppression of all duty on
raw materials ; 3. The abolition of all prohibitive
duties ; 4. The levying on articles, partly manufac-
tured, of a protective duty, which should not exceed
ten per cent. ; and 5. The levying on articles,
entirely manufactured, of a protective duty,
which should not exceed 20 per cent. In the course
of Lis developments M. ST. BEUVE proposed to do
away with all export duties ; to reduce the duty of
25f. per bead of foreign cattle by sf. annually during
four consecutive years, and the fifth year by 4f., so
that the fixed duty per head of cattle should not ex-
ceed lf. ; to reduce by one-fifth,' during four years,
the duty on iron, and after the fifth year to fix that
duty at if.; to reduce successively by one-eighth,
during four years, the duties on yarn and cloths ; to
suppress all differential duties on foreign vessels;
to maintain the conditions of the coasting trade ;
to throw open the trade of the colonies; to suppress
the Ministry of Commerce, &c. To meet the deficit
which the new system would momentarily occasion,
M. ST. BEUVE proposed to establish an income-tax of
three per cent. during three years, after the Ist Jan.,
1852. M. ST. BEUVE then recapitulated the advan-
tages derived by England from the reforms of Sir
ROBERT PEEL, and declared that, notwithstanding
the violence of the attacks directed against them, no
human power could now re-establish the old system.
M. ST. BEttvu had not concluded his speech when
the post left.
