. TRANSLATION OF THE DEBATE IN
THE "FOLKETHING" ON THE BILL
FOR CERTAIN FINANCIAL MEA-
SURFS RELATING TO THE
ISLAND OF ST. CROIX.
BILLIE (COntinued),

This export duty rests, however, exclusively
upon the productions of the estates, and l there
fore ask What reason is there for making such a
stipulation as that which is set down in s /, and
to demand that the export-duty shall fall away
as a recompense for our contribution ? Is this
not a question which could very quietly be left
to the decision of the Colonial Council ? 1t is
not enough for us, when we give to them this
aid Of $4,000 Westindia Dollars a year for four
years, to let them govern their affairs as they
would prefer doing ? There might be other tax
es, than precisely the export-duty, which it
would be preferable to remove by the aid of this
contribution but under all circumstances, if it
is in the interest of the Island that this tax be
abolished, then leave it to them to hit upon a
decision, and do not let us make any stipulation
in that respect, for we do hereby encroach upon
the islands interior liberty and self-government.
1t appears to me likewise, that it is not in &C
cordance with this same principle, when it is
found repeatedly in the motives, that a reduc-
ton in the military expenses is refused until a
more distant future, and when it is spoken of as
of something which only at some period can be
done. 1t is fully acknowledged in the motives

might prove more than a match for all
Bazalne's troops; and the Germans at
Paris rave not so imprudently thlnned
their line OF investment as to render it
possible for the ~beleaguered army TO break
through it unaided. AS a double attack
on the last day Of August led to a double
German victory, so the movement com
bined between D'Aurelles and Trochu on
Wednesday may be found in the end to
have ended in a double FIR ench failure.
We must nevertheless, wait for more
positive intelligence before we express an
opinion as to the decisive character of
these conflicts, and as to the probability
of the French renewing their attempts at
Paris aud fighting fresh battles near Or
leans. For what concerns Paris, we are
inclined to think that nothing is gained till
the saIlying garrison has cut its way COM
pletely through the lines of the besieging
army-an achievement which has not as
yet seemed practicable, and which ap-
pears traught with a variety of almost
Insurmountable difficulties. The Com
mander-in-Ch of the Partisan forces is
so fully carried away 10y the exploit of
Ducrot that he DEGREES to him a vote of
thanks; but if it turns out that Ducrot's
exploit is only half a success, and that the
circle Of iron by which Paris is encom-
passed is as unbroken as ever, we shall
not be surprised if anew fit Of despond-
ency again gains hold of the uneuthu8ia-
site Breton General in command Of the
capital, and if, upon the Army of the
Loire not making its appearance, hope
deferred makes sick not only the heart of
Frochu himself, and Of a great part of
the Paris population, but even that Of the
gallant Ducrot-of that brilliant sleader
of Wednesdays sortie who, before setting
out for his hazardous enterprise, vowed,
in the words Of his late Imperial Master
at Metz, that he "would not re-enter Pa
''ris unless dead or victorious"

believe dispatches from Tours, was a
complete success for the French if we
accept the version of the Versailles tele-
grams, it was n repulse of the French all
along the line. There is on the Seine a

advantage Of highly-discipIined %valOur,
which has been found irresistible in the
open field, and, besides, drawn up in in
trenched positions capable nearly of as
stout a res stance as the beleaguered
stronghold Itself. Round the besiegers'
camp there IS a zone of country, extend
ing fifty to sixty miles in every direction,
almost utterly laid waste by the trampling
of men, and beyond it are large divisions
Of the invading forces confronting the ar
mics of the invaded nation which, from
the South, from the West, from the North,

provincial armies, however, only one, that
of the Loire, appeared to have a chance
of being at all available ; for, on the
West, Count Keratry has hitherto failed
to give steadiness and compactness to his
young onnSoripfe, anu in the North Gen
eral Faidherbe has just suffered Amiens
TO fall into the enemy's hands. On the
Loire, D'Aurelles de Paladine had not
only an army, but to some extent a regu-
lar and a victorious army ; he occupied a
position Of his own choice, with the city
of Orleans and all the resources Of the
Tours Government in his rear. He was
only go miles away from Paris, and, not
improbably, was In constant intercourse
with Trochu, the General in command Of
that place. A battle on the Loire and q
sortie from Paris have been for several
weeks looked forward to as the turning
point in what had been hitherto a TOO uni
form campaign, Much stress was natu-
rally laid on the importance of sudden
and simultaneous movements, and although
for a long time it was thought that the
plan might gain maturity by delay, more
lately misglvings arose at the apparently
indefinite pOstponement; and it was SUI
spected that inactivity in Paris was caused
by exhaustion and Encouragement, oand
on the Loire by the want of complete
equipment, and especially Of baggage
train. All these unfavourabIe rumours,
however, might be the results either of
sheer selfdelusion on the part of the
Prussians, or Of deceitful representations
Of the French themselves, interested in
throwing the enemies off their guard, and
falling them into a treacherous security,

which the main effort was to be directed.
The French, who on tie previous days
issued forth from Fort d'Issy and Mont
Valerien, and attacked the Germans on the
South and Southwest at Choisv-le-Roi,
L'Hay, and st. Cloud, on Wednesday di-
rected their outset against the WUrtem-
bergerS and Saxons, who held the grounds
on the eastern side in the villages of
Champiguy, ViIIiers, Bric, and others, all
lying on the right bank Of the Marne, and
facing Vincennes aud Forts Nogent and
Rosny. General DucrOt-'he same whom
the Germans charge with q breach of his
word of honour after Sedan-crOssed the
Marine over eight bridges at the head of
more than 100, 900 men, for the most part
regular troops ofVinoy's Corps, and, aided
by the fire from the forts, from The gun
boats in the river, and the iron, plated rail
way carriages on the metropolitan line Of
decentralization, he fell upon the German
positions with so headlOng a fury as 10
carry them by storm. Minor attacks
were at the same time made from ST. De
mis- towards the Northwest, against the
Prussian Guards and the 4th. Corps. On
the Marine the success of the French was
only obtained by hard fighting, aud it was
of no long duration. The SaX0u8 and
WUrtembergers soon rallied, and, aided
by a PrussIan brigade, recovered their lost
ground, and, according to German state
ments, forced the enemies from their-po-
sitions. The fgt was evidently of an Oh
stinate and eanguinary character, and con
tlnued from II in the morning I'LL 6 in the
EVENING" late hour at this dark season
of the year. The German accounts bear
the date of the conflict, and can, of course,
give no particulars, and although the
French kilograms are nearly "a hours
later, they Iabour under the disadvantage
of the imperfect communications between
the Tours Government and the Paris gar
rlS0n. That that garrison had not ulti-
mately broken through the besiegers'
lines. however it may m|omentarily have
widened the circle of investment, may be
inferred from the despatch we received by
balloon post, according to which Ducrot,
favoured by the fire from the forts, had, at
the utmost, only held the footing he had
obtained on his first onset across the
MarDe.
What happened at Paris on Wednesday,
IN short, was, in all probability, only a
reproduction of the exploits of Bazaine's
army at Metz on the 3lst of August and
the LIST Of September. Trochu, like Ba-
z%aine, reckoned on the efforts of an army
advancing to his riscue from the open
country, and Strove to aid them by a des-
perate outbreak on his part. The sortie
from Metz was undertaken upon a more
or less clear understanding with Mac-Ma
Green-Mountain freeman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1844-1884, 1870-06-01

Janet'S Fortune.

And when | die, l shall leave my for
tune to the one who will use it to the best
advantage said Grandma Leeds, smiling
from behind her spectaces to the Young
girls around her.
Your fortune, grandma What will it
be? That old basket, with its horrid yarn
and needles, and the never ending knitting
work. If so, you need not leave it with
me. Janet will use it to far better adj
vantage than | could
Yes, Lettie, you are right; and I'm
sure [ don't want it, either HIM, what a
fortune, to be sure =
III accept it, grandma, and prize it, if
you will only add your sweet, contented
disposition. 1t would be fortune which
none of us need despise.'
Janet Leeds was the youngest of the
family, and the plainest. She had a sweet,
fresh face and tender eyes; but these paled
into ugliness before Lettie's black orbs
and shining curls, and the blonde loneliness
of belle Margaret So she settled back
like a modest violet in the chimney
and waited on grandma, or assisted the
maid in the housework
Once in a while she Yentured out to a
party in the village, but so seldom that
people never observed her. That made it
unpleasant, and she stayed at home still
closer.
But on that morning, while they all sat
chatting with grandma, she felt deal of
real discomfort for the first time in
months.
Clara Bosworth, her bosom friend, was
to give a party that evening, and she
could not go. For weeks preparations
had been going on in their quiet family.
She had given up the money saved for
new winter cloak, that Lettie's green silk
might be trimmed for the occasion, and
the best dress she had in the world was a
plain, garnet-colored poplin with black
velvet trimmings.
She had family suggested that she might
wear that but the cry of dismay from her
sisters silenced her.
Go and wear that old poplin " cried
Lettie, from the clouds of white billowy
lace that was to adorn the green silk.
You must be crazy
L should think So chimed Margaret,
who was fitting lace berthe over the
waist of the delicate lilac satin, Do you
want Austin Bosworth to think US family
of paupers 1t is to be grand affair, and
Clara expects all who honor it with their
presence to pay her respect enough to dress
1t is Austin's first appear
ance after his European touIy and surely
YOU do not want him to think meanly of
us 2
The tears came up, but Janet was brave,
and no one saw them.
That night, when the two girls-the one
in her dark beauty and wonderfully be-
