STATE PAPER.,

STUTTGARD, SEPTEMBER 11. •
A very remarkable Royal Resciipt has been pob.l
lished here respecting the ordering the Land Tax for
the year 1817 to 1818. His Majesty states, that this
Budget having been duly considered by the Privy
Council, has received his sanction. According to
this, the Land TAX is fixed for this current •ye.ir at
2,400,G00, to meet the expenses of the State, and be-
A.:es a tenth, or 240,000 florins more, on account of
the expenses of the Assembly of the States, which
are no way provided for, and w!iich, in the twenty-
six months of their Sittings, amounted to 260,000
flaunt. His Majesty obseives, that ever since the
beginning of his reign, it has been his object to lessen
the burdens of his subjects, and that already, in his
fathet's time many taxes imposed during the war
were taken off, and even several othets libnlish,ed or
diminished. His Majesty mentions the beneficial re,
ductions made in his own reign, and adds, that tie is,
engaged at this moment in measures th,relieve the
subject, though they will diminish the revenue. The,
King observes, that he has introduced great retrench.
menus in his own expenses and household, and fixed;
a sum that must not be exceeded. Ile instances se-
veral points:
" The old complaint of the Wirtembergers respect-
ing the game, can no int,re be heard. We have se-
cured, by the re-establishnient of a permanent insti-
tution, the execution of the effectual measures taken
by our Father, his late Majesty, for the extirpation
of the black game, and the diminution of the other
game. The parks gie reduced in number ; the war
and other Corvies, and the increased disbursements
of the Communes thereby occasioned, no longer op-
press tie country, and the other greatly diminished
vassalage monies are paid for. We have also made
retrenchments in vitriolic branches Of the administra-
tion, even such as concerns our foreign relations.
We have considerably reduced the army. and esta-
blished it on a firm footing, adapted to the welfare of
the State, not infringing on the freedom of the cid-
; :ens. But we likewise considered it as "oar daily in
this new arrangement, to provide for the decent sup-
port of this class of the citizens, and of that of the
new supernumerary officers who have dedicated their
services to the State."

His Majesty then observes, that it has been neces-
SITY to new regulate and increase the salaries of the
servants of the public in the various departments of
the Administration. The number of persons em.
played in some branches have been necessarily in-
creased ; a new Tribunal of the Second Instance in
criminal causes erected, which has been long a desi-
deratum. Several establishments havebeen improved
and extended, and others assisted, which had suffered
during the war. More extensive establishments are
training for the Catholic Church ; a Bishopric and a
separate Catholic Ecclesiastical property must be
founded, and that of the Evangelical Church separate
horn that of the Chamber (ot Finance). Commis-
sioners are appoiuted to put in execution the project
of the Constitution in this respect. The Ecclesiastical
Seminaries, both Catholic and Protestant, are im-
proving and extending, arid they are relieved from
many burthens to which they were formerly liable,
but which are now to be borne by the Public Trea-
sury. All this, and the diminished income of the
State, must necessarily increase the Budget, his Ma-
jesty being resolved that it shall include all the neces-
sary expenses f the State ; but that. the sum fixed
shall in no branch be exceeded, as was formes ly often
.he case, particularly that fortis Majesty's household.
His Majesty continues by saying, that the last year
entirely stripped the Chamber of Finance of its ma-
gazines of corn, which was parted with either gratis
or at low prices; that a great part of the land-tax
remained in arrears, and the Treasury could not be
enabled, except by extraordinary resources, barely to
meet the necessary payments. The King thinks that
the cessation ot the burdens of war, the great dimi-
nution of these burdens, will enable the subji.cts now
to pay the tax, many too having profited by the high
prices of the produce of their lands. •1
His Majesty says that he has concluded the levy of
the tax as above stated to be absolutely necessary,
and adds, " and as to our great regret the conditions
announced by us. upon whicn alone the entire intro-
duction of the Representative Constitution, and the
calling of a new Assembly of the States,
.deisendi
have not been yet fulfilled, we are placed in the neces.
sity to order it by this present Rescript." We there.
fore order, by the advice of our Privy Couricil. Etc. ike.
His Majesty concludes by enjoining. the Magistrates,
Etc. to proceed with all due zeal in the execution of
this Ordinance, according to the existing forms,
which nis Majesty will consider as a standard of their
fidelity and ability in his service, and will thew due
severity to those who shall be remiss, and punish,
with the loss of their offices, those who shall peiaist
in not executing the functions in this respect which
their situations impose on them. lie desires that a
watchful eye shah be kept on those who excite their
uninformed fellow-Citizens to disobedienCe. under the
pretext tbat the tax has not been agreed upon by the
States, or shall themselves be guilty of the like, that
they may be puaished with all the rigour of the law.
" For however we wish," says his Majesty, 64 to see
the Constitution in full effect, according to the con-
Jitions delivered on the '26th May, anJ the lid oh
June, it is our sacred slaty to allow, meantime, no-
thing to interrupt the course of the Government,
and thus to prove injurious to the weltare of the
people entrusted to us.

FRENCU PAPERS.
PARIS, SEPTEMBER 25.

Yesterday there was a Council of Ministers, at
which the King presided. On Monday, all the fn-
reign Ambassadors and Ministers paid their court to
the King and Royal Family.
The latest accounts from Martinique state, that the
negroes appear very submissive. They acknowledge
generally, that they are in a better situation than the
negroes of St. Domingo, who are not the less misera-
ble in consequence of being free. The cruel tyranny
which Christophe exercises is beyond all description.
In the month of July last the sm ill-pox commit-
