Ques4ioo.7--As the reatrictions to secure the Tax
wete proved.before the Committees of the House of
Commons, in 1813 and 1816, to be more expensive
than the double Tax, and consequently to be a greater

repealing the whole TAY?
Anszter.—On accoint of the restriction% necessary
to collect the present Tax, its repeal would relieve
the Public and the Agricultural Interests in particular,

millions of francs, there were only 258 who voted ;
172 were absent. This day only 216 voted on the

Lieutenant-General Guilleminot, Major-General f
the arniy.of Spain, set out yesterday evening to join
the army.
The criers of the Liberaus made yesterday even-
ing a new attempt, which was attended with no bet-
ter success than those they risked in bread day.
About thirty individuals, actuated by a bad spirit,
assembled about half-past seven in the evening, near
die gate of St. Denis. Their. assemblage was suffi-
cient to attract a crowd of curious people. After
deliberating some minutes upon the manner in which
they should effect their retreat, these courageous
champions of the Deputy of La Vendee began to
shout " Vive Manuel! Vive la Libcrier A patrol
of the gendarmerie, attiacted.by their vociferations,
advanced towards the groupe, which dispersed at its
approach. The same individuals, shortly afterwards,
assembled upon the Boulevard Bondy. The gen-
darmes were not slow in joining them: from another
side the troops of the line, of the post of the Chateau
d'Eau being out, the retreat of the disturbers was cut
off, and sonic of them have been arrested. The re-
mainder of the band gained the Boulevard of the
Temple, shouting " ViveManatel! ViveniksEspagnols! '
and escaped.

The serjeant of the National Guard who refused to
lay hands on M. Manuel in the midst of his colleagues,
is named M. Mercier, a lace-maker, Rue-aux Fers, 30.
A great number of the Deputies of the Opposition
called at his house. He said to one of them—" I
confess that, on entering amidst the Deputies of the
nation, I was seized with a profound emotion. It
would have been impossible for me to lay hands on a
Deputy. Ido not think that the National Guard was
instituted for that. For the rest, patriot as I am, I
should' have refused to lay my hand even on a Deputy
of the right side."
It is said, that before the Sitting yesterday, the de-
cision of the Chamber had not been notified to M.
'Manuel, either by the President, or by any of the
Officers of the Chamber. It is probable that the ful-
filling of this formality would not have hindered M.l
Manuel from going to the Sitting ; but if it was
neglected, we think it was wrong, since the , forms
observed in all the Tribunals cannot be dispensed with
towards a Deputy. It is remarkable, that before the
introduction of the armed force, the proses verbal of
the Sitting, in which the decision was taken, was not
read ; and it is well known, that the manner in which
it was drawn up might give rise to important observa-
tions. Neither were the regulations of the Chamber
observed ; for the 9lst Article says—" The police of
the Chamber belongs to the President, who exercises
it in his name, and gives the necessary orders to the
guard on duty (garde du service)." Now, the guard
of the Chamber is composed of the National Guard
and Veterans, and it is to those corps alone that the
President has a right to give orders. We are asto-
nished, therefore, that they were given to the gen-
darmerie of Paris, which is not the guard of the De-
puties of the Departments, and is under the orders of
the Prefect of Police alone. We do not know, then,
by whom it can have been called in and required on
this serious occasion.—Constitutionnel, March 6. _

The intelligence from Bayonne, which is to the 241
instant, is decidedly warlike. Independently of the
reinforcements which the division of Count d'Atrrt.
CHAMP has received within this month past, both in,
old troops and conscripts, and the total force of which
is estimated at 14,000 or 15,000 men, orders have'
been given to receive between the Ist of March and I
15th of April, many other regiments, amounting to-
gether to 16,470 infantry, and 3,991 cavalry. The
army which is now collecting in the Lower Pyrenees,
may therefore be estimated at 35,000 or 36,000 men.
The artillery, including that at Orthes, Dux, and St.
Jean Pied-de-Port, consists of 160 light, and 24 heavy
guns. The number of waggons is 500. The Army
of the Faith in Navarre, the three Provinces, and
Arragon, including the division of BESSIERES, is stated
to amount to 15,000 men. It is said to be in con-
templation to throw a bridge over the Bidassoa,
and to occupy Iron with the troops of the Faith.—
An express received at Bayonne, on the 28th ult. by
the Committee of the Faith in that city, positively
states that BESSIERES was, on the 25th ult. at Soria,
and that the greater part of his division was proceed-
ing towards the Ebro, in the direction of Etudel,
Allan), and Logrono : he had sent the most pressing
orders to collect immediately on the banks of that
river, all the troops of the Faith that could be dis•
posed of.

An article from Madrid in the Bayonne Papers
states, that BERTRAN DE LIE, who used to be a
speaker in the Landaburian Society, has published
a vinilication of his conduct with respect to a visit
which he made to King FERDINAND, just before that,
Monarch resolved to dismiss the Ministers. BEntniak
DE Lis states, that FERDINAND expressed a reluctanci
to leave Madrid at a time when there was no danger
to render his departure necessary: His MAJibrrit
also observed, that his premature departure might
damp public opinion, and afford an opportunity for
casting imputations on the Ministry; that if he were
to remove from Madrid to a small town, it would
appear that he was not free; and that it would be
said that he, was controuled by a faction; of whicl;
pretext, ftiriign and .domestic enemies might avail
themselves. Such, it seems, is the story told by
BERTEEtN DE LIS.
