CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES.

His Majesty's Ministers were announced.
Baron Louis, Mons. Ferrand, •nd the Abbe de
Montesquiou were introduced. Their Excellencies
took the seats which had been reserved for them.
The President then invited the Minister of Finance
to mount the Tribune.

Baron Louts spoke as follows :
Gentlemen—We are commanded by the King to
present to you in his name the state of the Finances
of his kingdom, to propose to you to regulate by a
law the proportion of the receipts and expences of
1814, to provide for the service of 1815, and to as-'
sign certain means and periods anterior to the Ist of
April, 1814. The relative proportion of the Ways
and Means would have been easily ascertained, after
the uniform results of several years of peace. The
experience of the past would, in such a case, have
been a sufficient criterion to judge of the future.—
This test is at present wanting, and•it has been ne-
cessary to recur to other documents, which might
enable us to form as correct an opinion as possible of
our future situation. Your attention will first be di-
rected to the service of the year 1814. You all know
under what dreadful auspices the year began. This
unprecedented period offers a Contrast of unlimited
aad prodigal expenses, with a stagnation of means.
—During the first quarter, the receipts have not
amounted to a fourth of the expenses ; and the arrear
anterior to the Ist April is for this single quarter up-
wards of 230,000,000 livres.
The regulations ordered by his Majesty, have in
the second quarter reduced the expenses near one-
half. The receipts, on the contrary, have increased to
double their former amount, so that the disproportion
between the expenditure and the evenue has been
reduced to less than a third.
. .

The same increase of the receipts on the one hand,
and diminution of the expenses on the other, will no
doubt continue during the two last quarters of the
year. The receipts of the third will, it is presumed,
fall short of the expenses only one-eighth. From
those of the last quarter, • which will be sufficiently
regular to form the basis of the Budget of 1815, an
excess of one-fifth has been calculated upon in the
receipts, which will be applied to the service of the
preceding quarters.
The expenses ordinary and extraordinary of the
State had risen in the lit ginning of the year
to a proportion, which would have required
for its continuance no less a sum than - 1,245,800,000
The re'auction of our terrAory, and the princi-
ples of internal ecottotny, have reduced the
necessary expenses of the year to - - 827,415,000
Digerence between the expenses of the late and
of the present Government - - 418,385,000

The sum of 827,115,000 francs,. is that at which
we mean to fix the Budget of the expenses of 1814.
—This general calculation includes the sum of
331,275,u00 francs, as the amount of the expenses
incurred in the first three months. of the year. It is
this last sum, added to the probable expenses of the
other nine months, which swells the Budget of the
expenses of 1811 to a greater arncunt than the re-
sources of the year will be able to meet.
In the next place it is necessary to point nut the
Ways and Means by-which it is proposed to meet
the expenses of the year.
