FRENCY PAPERS.

CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES.
The discussions on the Budget were resumed on
the Ist September.
M. rALABRKT, after having analyzed the whole of
the projet, expressed his sericus apprehensions of the
financial measures proposed to be adopted by the
Minister. The system of loans he thought deserved
the most serious reflections. The loans of Necker
and Calonae ruined France and hurried on the revo-
lution, made the nati is bankrupt, and annihilated
public credit. The French were not disposed to adopt
a similar system, which might, indeed, make the fi-
nances of our neighbours flout ish, but which would
ruin theirs. Bonaparte himself, all-powerttil as he
was, with his extraordinary domains, his private do-
mains, and the ascendancy maintained by his victo-
ries, could not have realized a loan; he never even
thought of it. The idea of loans should be abaft.
dolled. A part of the domains- of the State shout('
he sold to liquidate a part of the debt, and the rest
shoulitb4 consolidated ; the operation set uhf then be
at once easy and natural. This double process would
create capitols for commerce and industry, which-
were now obsoletely null.
This speech was ordered to be printed.
M. FORMER Da Sr. Lgiit voted for the inscrip-
tion of the arrears in the pat book, and for the
immediate establishment of an independent sinking
Fund.
M. D'Arroao, Deputy from the Seine et Oisr, and
a Member of the Committee, expressed the painful
sentiments which he had telt in examining the prijet
of the law. Every Member of the Committee had
felt the wile sentiments. They saw the afflicting
picture of penury and wretchedness which had re-
cently been endured bv the agriculture of the coun-
try, and they yielded only to the imperious necessities
of the moment. They did not acquiesce in the pro
posed me (sure until they were thoroughly convinced
of the instahility or insufficiency et the various re.
ceipts arising from indirect contributions, to meet the
exigencies of the current year. After the most mi-
nute investigation, they were reduced to the simple
necessity of either rejecting or adopting the projet o
the isw ; atnl the latter course they tilt themstlyes
bound to pursue. •
BESLAY (des cotes du Nord) declared that
thriugh with' respect to the two first clauses of the
law he &Sete.' bum tha.Miniver as to the details,
yet ke perfectly agreed with him as to the whole
effect of .them.rhe third clause, however, he
thought wholly contrary to the interests of the
people. He then suggested some amendments upon
this clause.
M. Reutotters) the Chairinan of the committee".
in aprech of considerable 1010, supported the
projet.
M. Monism. attacked•thipetilet in a strain of .ai
gument, not very dissimilar from what bad been tiM:

M. Le FAUCHEVX proposed that the discussion
'should be closed, and the Projet adopted with the
amendments proposed by the Committee. The mo.

The PRZSIMINT prepared to put the question to
the vote, when some opposition was manifested in
several parts of the Hall
M. Scum= ascended the. Tribune, and moved
that the sitting should adjourn, and the discussion be
resumed on the ensuing day.
This was agreed to. •
On the next day (Sept. 2) the Sitting opened at
noon. The Minister. of Finance and of the Interior,
both assisted in the debate oq the Budget, which was
immediately begun.
Ma SOUCQUZB said, that the explanations given by
the Migister, and commented upon by the Chairman
of the Committee, had not relieved his mind from
the dangers he apprehended to belong to the propos-
ed system. He confined himself chiefly to the third
clause, iris.—the means suggested for the reimburse.
'moot of the migible debt. He did not think they
ought to reject the Projet of Government. Whit he
looked to was the abuse that might be made of that
provision ; and he thought that if the Chamber

remained without any amendment, they wild not, ha
his opinion, adopt it without the greatest dodger.
M. Gnuatax spoke in favour of the Projer, and
entered into some very extensive details. He analyzed
the various plans proposed by the opponents of the
measure, and in each of them he found diffizultieff
which did not exist, according to his opinion, in the
'general effect of the Projet itself.
M. FLANGIRGUSS spoke against the Projet, and
'was particu!arlr animated in is censures of usury.
which, he contended, would be authorised and cr..•
forced, if the law
passe without any qualificatma.
Baron Lours replied, in ad extemporary speech of
re-
considerable length. He took a f:ovn pr eh e n siv e
view of the state of France, the dilapistatica ni 1-,-
rresourees, the necessity of the prcisoted measur,.,
the happy results which might be fairly antic
born- its full and complete operation. Ia
of the necessity of maintaining the most inviolahl;
fidelity towards the public creditor, he allitdcd to
America, England, and FElland. There did not.
',exist, he said, in all history, an example of increased
population, augmented wealth. and developed power
•
so rapid and so surprising as what had occurred in
the United States of America—the Government of
which displayed the noblest and most astonishing
example of fidelity towards its creditors, and had
'tonwpsently always enjoyed the most extensive and
alksrable credit. England presented to them an ex..
ample not less striking of the wealthand power
which unimpaired credit dispensed to a natio!) ; they
had long contemplated it with envy, and hadaelt its
powerful effects. Holland had, for a considerable
•eime, fornished'-an example still more remarkable,
though not an celebrated. He concluded by calling
for the adoption of the Projet, with the amendmentx
`proposed by the Committee.
The closing of the discussion was now 'Justly called
for by some, while others wished that it should ise
adjourned: Pifter an attempt on the part of M. Fran.
conville to address the Chamber, the President put
the question to the vote, and declared, that the ma.
rity was in favour of terminating the discussian.—
The President then informed them, that as the debate
was finished, nothing remaiwd to deliberate upon but
the manner of voting. It was for the Chamber to
determine whether they would declare their votes upon
each article separately, or upon the whole law.
It was proposed. that the decision upon this should
be deferred till the sitting of the following day...o•
which was agreed to, and the Chamber accordingly
adjourned:
