Doubtless "Multa Gemens" subscribes to the interesting and high class evening journal, and it may be that his epistle was published in the fear that a refusal to give his letter publicity would result in the withdrawal of his subscription.

And then it is, I suppose, the only State and the only city in the world where there are no rates of taxes. The State of Monaco, under the dynasty annexation to France under the First Napoleon, of Grimaldi, bas existed, with a short interval of since A.D. 968.
