CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES.
SIT/1110 OF °his 307 H OF DILCEMSErt.

The Memoir of one Sieur Anteing of Paris v:..
remitted to the Commission on Finance. He pro-
poses to retain one-tenth of the gratoities upon
fusions, and calculates that the return to the pitbkc
treasury would be upwards of twenty millions.
The adjourned discussion on the Law of Elzcti, rs
was then resumed.

The Marquis de MONTCALM could not agree wi,h
the Report of the Commission ; but it was for reatcr,l
quite different from those which had been given by
most of the Members who had delivered their seini-
inents. It had been objected, that the proposed faw
did not admit a sufficient number of persons to the
privilege of voting; but he thought, on the contrary,
that the Electors would be by far too nnmerom.—
How extraordinary, to see a College of 16,000 Elec-
tors meeting to return only eight Deputies !--fie
thought that the number of Electors should be so re-
gulated as to be only a hundred times greater than
the number of Deputies. The qualification o! pay-
ing 300 francs of taxes seemed also highly excep-
tionablenot more on account of those whom revo-
lutions had despoiled of all but their loyalty, than of
those who had profited by their ruin. 'ln some

at. estates.of emigrants had been acqUired in laitei
'noel portions; but in others they had been pal
celled out into an excessive number of small lots:
purchasers of national domains are compdted to
ara unt to many millions, while of persons paying
,;.),; francs of taxes, there are not perhaps 100,000.
M. Facer de BAUD* defended the Pri#et in all its
particulars, and objected strenuously to the amend-
ments proposed in a former sitting by IYIa de Serra. .
M. BENOIST followed on the opposite side, and di.
:,,,ed his observations particularly to the proposed
c iallication of paying SOO frames of taxes. In all
y,nce, he said, there were only 15,800 persons who
;... d above 1000 francs to the public service. Is it
• -ic-g them are to be found that Noblesse of which
t; mlch has been said of la to ? No. The Nobles
~r impoverished, and are almost all in the inferior
t Asses of contributors—not even in the second—we
pet the third. The majority of these 15,800 are new
'amities, with new interests. Should the proposed
amnunt of qualification be adopted, two-thirds of the
proprietors of land would be excluded—two-thirds of
Trance would have cause of discontent.
M. BEUGNOT defended the qualification, on the
ground of the Charter, by which it is declared, that
no person shall have any concern with the election of
Deputies, who does not pay three hundred francs of
taxes : the Charter is nothing bur a concession of
rights and that concession is clearly limited.
M. DE BONALD..—" We partake of the idolatry of
those idolators, who dare not tooth the object of their
adoration. The King gave us the Charter, but it is
the force of circumstances alone which can maintain
it."—The Article 40, of the Charter, did not, how-
ever, appear to the Speaker to justify the interprets-
ten given to it. In saying that all conaributers of
WO francs should COVICIIP in the eleciicAl of Deputies,
it did not mean that they alone should mike ch. ekw
tion, but that they should concur with persons of
some other degree in making it. He voted for the
rejection of the project, al alike angpostitutional and
proscriptive.

The Chamber then again adjourned the discussion
Thuriday, the 2d of January.
