Much excitement has prevailed among the states
men and political chiefs of the French PARTIES the
subject Of tho delberation which to take place
on the departure of the Council of State relative
to the opposition viii h had been made by the Pro-
feet Of the Seine, the occasion of the difficulties
which suggested for the application and execu-
ton of the DEGREES of January % last by which the
fsoperty Of the Orleans family had been confscated
For the last month the affair was at hand, and was
postponed on account ofthe decease of the reporern-
chief of the case. But finally, Tuesday, the 18th
fnst, the debates were undertaken under the presi
asuoy of NJ. Baroche, who is the vceSpeaker of the
House. As matter Of course, the tribunes Of the
Hall Of Audience were filled by an immense number
of friends Of the late dynasty and among them
remarked MN. Dupin the elder, Odion Barrot,
Count. Of Montalivet and Pallet. NM. Paul Fabre,
and Hathieu Bodet, attorney Of the Orleans ia
mily, were present; and after NJ Corundet, who
was the reporter of the case, had delivered the
whole speech relative to this affair, NJ. Fabre re-
fed to him in such style that he captivated every
the duty Of Attorney General, then presented his
conclusions, and after four and half hours Of sit
ting, the case was postponed for elaboration.
has been decided in favor of the DEGREES ofthe 22d
cfJanuasy last. Thus the wishes of Louis Napoleon
viii be accomplished. IL is also said that, notwth
standing the designs Of the President, NJ Fould has
induced him to consent TO the appreciation 70 be
made relative TO Re property Oh nmc. Adelaide,
Sstf to Louis Philippe, the exchange and purchase
Of new lots made suce 1890 NJ. Fould, it is said,
WILDE soon called to the financial department, in
plaos of NJ Bineau and though the friends of the
Elysee are denying that new ministry is at hand,
mention the rumor, as it is founded upon very re-
liable sources
The rumors relative to an extra session Of the
Legislative corps were not only premature, but also
without any foundation The body Of Representa-
inst, as it has been ruled by the constitution The
newspapers which are supposed to receive direct
communications from the government had published
that they were certain that the session would be
continued for about a month more, Mt least but
the official organ the -Monitenr, has declared that
this was erroneous. And from this may be derived,
with much reason that in order to know the truth,
Is necessary to believe the reverse Of all that is
said BY La Patyif, L Constitutional. and LIE Pans.
Louis Napoleon, rather than consent to this pro-
fongaton, has preferred to adjourn to the next SEES
tuary laws, though he has not the least idea Of
abandoning them But his utmost desire is not to
create precedent favorable to the length Of the
usual duration Of the session. it has been settled
BY the constitution; and he has been influenced in
his resolution by the reception which has been made
to the new laws in the bureau of the legislative
corps. Among the fourteen elected members ofthe
committee there but four who had totally &C.
copied the new sumptuary laws.
Another subject of much excitement in all classes |
Of society is caused BY the news received and spread
among the public, that sumptuary laws were on the
eve Of being decrsed by the President. 1t is said
that carriages, horses, and dogs will be subject to
the following taxes;-In Paris, carriages with four
wheels, 12. year; do. two wheels, COT In the de-
partments, carriage With four wheels, 90f; do two
wheels, 45f In the counties from 1000 to sc, 900
inhabitants, carriage with four wheels, COZ; do
tive wheels, 30f In the villages below 1000 inha
bitants, carriage with four wheels, 30f; do. two
every carriage on which coat of arms is painted
viii be subject to a tax of 5Of. The carriages used
Tor trade will not DO subject to any taxation the
horses will also be free Of the tax. Every dog
and greyhounds, will be subject to tax of FIVE
francs a head. As matter of course, this new
project has caused much grumbling among certain
classes Of society; and Though the government is
sure that II will obtain mere than twenty millions
by it, believe that the FUN is much exaggerated.
Among the other articles which are also to be
taxed by the new law there is which is still more
opposed than any other: it is tax on paper and
paste boards. The iouuna,er, even those the more
IN favor OF the government, are much opposed to
it, and the delegates of the paper warehouses of
France have published q memoir, in which they give
mary good reasons to show that this law is anoma-
lous and arbitrary, and must not be published
Notwithstanding this declaration, there are several
paragraphs in that memoir by which it is proved |
that the produce of this tax viii not be as large
expected. These new laws have excited the indig-
nation Of all those who were more or less vexed by
them in their interests, but this was not extra
ordinary, for what are the laws which are not more

are promulgated The tax on paper was quite
hard upon the class Of printers and publishers. /
will only give. for instance, the following figures,
which are of the most exact veracty. In case of
the acceYtaton OF the new tax, every maker OF pa
per would be obliged to pay, as soon as the paper
would leave the mandatory, three times more
money than he is benefited by the sale, and it is
well known that the paper manufacturers only sell
their goods ut six months or years credit. 1t
has been calculated that at Essoune, the largest
paper mandatory in France or Europe, it would
be necessary to make advance Of 300 900 francs
that the large publishing houses of Paris as, for
instance, that Of M. Hachette, would pay 100 900
francs, and Nine Name, who is publishing 5000
copies of books, which she dsposes OF for the only
gain Of one fifth part Of a sou, would be obliged TO
make an advance of 100000 francs. As for the
matter Of playing cards, which are subject to
duty of LIB francs upon the sale Of 5 francsthat
Is to say, nearly threefourths of their sae-if the
duty Of the 9th Is ever accepted they will be
obliged to leave France.
While the government is taking such STEP the
city Of Paris has resolved to annihilate the ordi-
nance on the butchers, and to make that profession
as free as any other. In France no one is author
lied to sell meat without obtaining license, and
this license is only given to certain number Of
people. This state Of things is, undoubtedly, very
injurious 70 the trade, and, matter Of course,
meat is expensive, much 20 that poor people have
no means 10 get this food every day This course
taken by the government, and adopted everywhere
in the country, viii be received with much popu-
larity.
The projects Of taxation have been adjourned to
been communicated to the legislative corps, and
among them is the annexation OF all the railways
from Lyons to Marseilles Mines, Montpelier Cette,
and Bordeaux. into the same sompany. which has
been adopted as If by unanimity; and the news Of
that now law has been received with much pleasure
by the whole country.
