which p practical reform of the principal

A Edinburgh Mail, and the Paris pa
pers of Saturday lest, arrived yesterday.
The Chamber Of Deputies was occupied
on the Budget. The obligations imposed
upon France by the late Treaty, have rem
dered great augmentation of the taxes
necessary, particularly as the government
does not possess sufficient credit to meet,
by means of loan, the sums demanded
by the Allies. The Chamber, it is but
justice 10 say, does not seem disposed 10
concede to the Ministry one unnece ssary
item OF public expenditure it examines
every article of expence with the or atest
Jealousy, and carries the principle Of eco
nomy 10 the utmost. except where The m
terests ofthe royal family are concerned
and here it is prcfGsely liber~l, IS I is
inclined to p rsimony IN every Other
branch Of the government. The great OBJ
ject of the Assembly seems to be, 70 revive
the ancient sp'endor of the Throne. and
thus to lay firm groundwork, upon which
they may gradually re-construct the edi--
flee of an arbitrary government. The lat
ter point we believe TO be the leading,
we might say, the exclusive ject of the
csires and labos Of the party who have
now the ascendancy. II they can but re
establish The abuses Of the ancient monar-
chy, they remove all the distractions
which now stsrd in the way, to the re-
covery of n, estates and privileges they
enjoyed be fore the Revolution. Thus
seifshness is the principal OF that blazing
loyalty, VIII ch they would have the world
believe, solely directs their words md
conduct. The cry OF " Long I've the
King -" the BOufbons :" and the i'm
passoned gesture that accompanies it,
whilst hey proclaim the triumph and graz
tify the feelings of party, 1T thu same
time encourage all the hopes which the
Ultra II cyals's found upon the complete
re establishment Of the royal au horiiy.
Though we detest the violence end MUS.
tice by which the ancient Nobility and
Priesthood were deprived Of their posses
sons, yet we equally abhor the means
ihey arr pursuing FOR their recovery. If
they succeed, they will destroy every ves-
tige Of The good that has b, en- done for TIE
last five &C twenty years hey viii plunge
the useful ord r Of the pea antry back inc

emaucipatcd 10y the Revolution and tie

advantages which they owe % &c same

would be productive Of such corseduen-
ces, wcuil bstray a total indifference to

m ,iiiy who should be all. c.ed by the
