OUGHT TO BE RESISTED. Wednesday, Oct. 29. The house went into committee on the state of the colony, when the chairman reported the following resolutions, which were agreed to by the house : " Resolved, That the fees of the officers of his majesty's customs in these islands, having been establish by the 45th of lhe kinS in that case provided, the late instructions from the commissioners of his majesty's customs, un. der which much larger fees are demanded and received at the several custom houses in this colony, are so demanded and received contrary to law ; and are the more oppressive, as it is on the smaller class of vessels particularly attaches; nearly the whole of the shipping of these islands being of that class. Resolved, therefore, That it be recommended to the house, so soon as it may beat liberty to resume the exercise of its legitimate functions, to adopt such measures as may be deemed most expedient to restore the country, in this respect, to the government of law.'1 A letter received by the above ' mentioned arrival, states that the ru .tom house ices on American ves

THE DEAF AND DUMB. Gronimen. Sept. 3.

, Yesterday we attended with the greatest pleasure to the examination of the deaf and dumb who have been received in the institution of this city. This establishment, by all accounts, appears to us to be superior to those of Paris, Bordeaux, Berlin, Vienna; or Petersburg, particularly in point of instruction. During this examination the 10 1 pupils belonging to the institute, among whom are 65 boys, and 36 girls, 13 of whom are under 12 years or age, gave the most satisfactory proofs of the progress they had made in their education. In a speech pronounced by Guyot, he remarked that the young scholars had more capacity for instruction than those of a more advaced age. These young persons then evinced the excellence ot their education, in a point which struck every spectator with astonishment, as much on account of the care of . the professors, as of the progress made by the children. . . It was an affecting sight to behold these children walking along in the hall with their best works in their hands, and showing them to the spectators. Their blooming health, their spirits, and their gentleness of deportment, were altogether interesting, and one could scarcely think that nature had deprived tnem of two senses. A runner pupil drew, with a piece ot chalk, the portraits of anger envy, and grief, in the

Style of "Lebron. What astonished all present was, that three of the scholars, better instructed than the others, pronounced, in an audible manner, the Lord's prayer; afterwards, a passage from the poem of Spandau, enti

The Prevotal court yesterday condemned to perpetual forced labor and branding, a man nam ed Maurice Pratian Italian, convicted of having imported from London, and circulated in France, forged pieces ot ten francs. At the moment ot his arrest, he had with him 216 pieces of this kind, and at his lodgings were found 37 pieces ot tne same description. CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES. Sitting of the 19th Dec. Among the works presented by the several authors to the chamber of deputies, we remarked the first volume of a complete Course of Constitutional Politics, by Benjamin Constant. lhe chamber ordered a preject of a saving bank, presented by M. Delcnse, Chevalier of the legion of honor, to be deposited in the Bureau of Secretaryship. Several members appeared disposed to make it the subject of a proposition. M. the count Beignot ascended the tribune in the name of the

the committee, to whom the projet of the law had been refered for auiorising, provisionally, the receipt of six-twelfths of the contributions of the year 1818, according to the schedules of 1817: " It is not without regret," said he, " that the committee has perceived ihe necessity of proposing to you a provisional regulation, of which the danger is not dissembled ; for the basis once adopted, it will be difficult to make any changes for the rest of the year, particularly in the direct contributions, and the obstacles will not the less exist in the indirect imposts. " All the Bureaux have united to propose a new financial year, which shall coincide with the meedng of the chambers. They meet in the month of November. The Budget cannot be presented to them before the month of December. It is not possible that it could be decided in January, for it will be yet a considerable time the subject of long and serious discussions. ' The first of July is the time that appears most favorable. It is the season of harvest, the labors of which absorb only the inhabitants of the country. The committee have conferred with the minister of finance, and examined with him all the difficulties. Their united opinion has been, to leave to the committee on the budget the care of considering and maturing the proposition. They confine themselves now to proposing the following amendment, of which you will appreciate the motives." The reporter terminated by proposing the three- following ar. tides.

f . The first slx-twelfths of tha taxes on land, or personal and moveable property, on dodrs & windows, and patents, shall be collected provisionally for the year 18 18 on the schedules of 1817. ' 2. The indirect contributions shall be called for the same time on the tariff of 1817. 3. A provisional credit is open ed for the minister of finance, of 184,200,000 francs, for sixtwelfths of the four direct contributions of 1817. Saying that this credit shall be regulated by comprising it within the definitive one to be opened by the finance law of 18 1 8. The report v;a ordered to be printed, and the discussion to be opened on Monday, The order of the day called for the discussion of the liberty of the press. M. Sartelon proposed an amendment tending to ,tttribute to a jury the decision of the crimes and offences of the press and after reviewing the opinions severally advanced, he ad Jed, " As for myself, I shall vote according to my conscience.' (Loud cries of " We shall all vote according to our consciences.") M. Bonald spoke agairsi tho projet, and M. Favart d'Aniade in favor of the law, as amended by the committee. The cry for the closing the discussion became so general, that it was at length decided almost unanimously. The reporter will be heard to-morrow, at twelve. The sitting was then adjourned. From the Democratic Press.

It has been repeatedly asserted in the Aurora that general M-Gre-gor received his commission and authority to capture Amelia. Island direct from the constituted authorities of Venezuela. The truth is according to general McGregor's own stating, he did not so get his commision, but he did get it in this city. We would take this occasion to publish what is well known to many respectable individuals in this city, viz while general M'Gregor was in Philadelphia he took every occasion to abuse the government and people of the United States, andulogize the government and people of Great Britain. 1 Lynchburgh, fan. 26.
