The Paris papers and the private letters
which we rec ived on Saturday and yes
terdSy, would not tai to excite u consid-
derab!e degree of interest at any other
time than the present. But the Property
AK IS almost the exclusive subject at at
tention--the party opposing it, upon that
policy which makes them oppose every
measure thst iSproposed by the Ministers,
which made them sneer at the efforts Of the
Spaniards and Portuguese, laugh at the
idea OF our enteavormg 20 cope with Bo,
naparte by lud, anG try, through their
Essayists and POetasters to prevent the
nation and the army from having any con
hdenoc i'll the talents of Wellington. This
party oppose the reduced tax upon the
same tactics THAI would have made them
support it, had the Minister proposed the
abolition of it. The miser opposes the
tax, because it will Shift the burden which
he ran bear upon the shoulder of those
who cannot. The absentee opposes it,
because he can then spend the whole Of his
rents, or his DIVIDENDS out OF his own coun-
try.
The discussion upon the law of elections
has not yet terminated, and the French

The Budget has not yet beea reported,
and that will occasion another discussion as
long and amusing probably as the Law of
Election.
These papers allude to the disorders at
Tarascon, and announce the arrests of

The Budget ard the Election Laws have
been the sources of great division between
the ministry and the Chamber of Deputies s.
