SITTING .1" DEC. 22.

This Sitting was chiefly o,run.;ed *on Petitions,
particularly by that of M. Cauchois le Maire.
M. Keinpr'r, geporter of the Committee of Pe-
onserved;;*that he first brought forward
this one because- all- the Journals had publish...
ed it (betofe it was distributed to the Mem-
bers) with an eagerness whicti**Would seem ex-
traordinary, were it not a well-lf,two fact, that
most of the Journals published In Belt:Kim any
Fl the hands of Foreigners. The Petitioner had
already addre,sed Their High Nlightinesses in the
last Session at the
.Ilogite, but his Petition was
rejected., Most of the objections made to hefor-
suer Petition ate tint to be...found in the present
The Committee, it seems, was divided iu opinion,
bnt all the Mcmhe'rs agreed OA in form it was
iosolcnt. However, I I,ey thought this insolence
Was no' in itseit a sufficient reason to reject it.
The Committee proposed to icier it to the Sec,.
t iohs for examioation.

M Dotienge proposed to pass to the Older of
tie The Chamber, he said, hart been lung
enough occupied with the Petition last session,
and the affair had been already decider) upon.
M. de Moor and de ,Totighe proposed to have
the Petition laid on the tkble, for the inspection
of the Members; but M. Dolieuge said, that as it
had been distributed to the Members, they were
sufficiently acquainted with it.
E; a ypheos thought, as the petitioner had
produced un new facts, they should abide by their
decision Of last year. He opposed its being •laid
gm the table, and suppotted the Order of the Day.
lite question being put to the vote, the Chamber
passed to the Order at the Day. Some other.Pe.
ittous %vete presented, one at which, relative to
the indirect T.,xes, was ordered to-be laid on the
table, and a copy of it sent to the Director-Gene-
r:4l of the Indit eel Taxes, the object of it being of
great impoliancv, arid because justice and duty re-
quire that ,he Chamber should afford the Director
every information at a time when a revision of
the laws relative to those taxes is in baud.
