industry of Frenchmen that consists 

 the guarantee of the glory and du- 

 ration of the dynasty of the Bona- 

 partes, who have conquered our 

 hearts in as much as they have ce- 

 mented our rights. — Gentlemen, I 

 believe I have clearly stated to you 

 that the present bill regulates the 

 distribution of the returns anterior 

 to the year 13, and provides for the 

 urgent expences of war, by sufficient 

 receipts to keep up such a formida- 

 ble establishment by land and sea as 

 cannot fail of giving weight to future 

 negotiations for peace. — Lastly, you 

 will not fail to remark that the con- 

 cluding heads of the bill will be the 

 means of conducting the financial 

 administration towards a system of 

 amelioration, gradually progressive. 

 — The section of finances of the tri- 

 bunate, actuated by these consider- 

 ations, proposes to the legislative 

 body, the adoption of the present 

 bill.^No orator from the council 

 of state, or tribunate, speaking, the 

 discussion was closed. — The mem- 

 bers then proceeded to give their 

 votes upon the bill passing into a 

 law, when it was decreed by 260 

 against 12.
