Two of the Paris journals, the Constitutionnel
and the Pays, publish long articles on the project,
which is at- present under consideration, for en-
larging Paris, by carrying back the octroi limits to
the fortifications. Both journals are strongly in
favour of the proposed measure, and adduce argu-
ments to prove that the realisation of the project will
not only be unattended with any injury or incon-
venience, but will be productive of much positive
good. The Constitutionnel gives a sketch of the suc-
cessive changes effected in Paris, from which we
glean that it has been enlarged not fewer thannine
times, and that its superficies, which was scarcely
40 acres in the time of Julhts Cmsar, had become
8,505 in the reign of Louis XVI, and will reach the
vast extent of 18,625 acres, should the plan, now
spoken of, be. carried fully into execution. The
great amount of the population in the various com-
munes of the banlieue, our contemporary declares,
is an evident proof that Paris, properly so called, is
not large for its inhabitants and that the Govern-
ment is by that 'eery circumstance warned that:
the time has arrived, to provide more• ample aecomj
modation for the constantly . increasing influx of
1 settlers from the_departments. 4
