A petition by members of Dieppe's municipal council and chamber of commerce against the tobacco monopoly supported by the French government arguing that the supposed financial benefit to the government of forty million is not assured and questioning whether a system of taxation might not be preferable. "Un systeme d'impot ou de taxes serait-il preferable? ceci ne peut etre revoque en doute, si cet autre systeme produit quarante millions, puisqu'a ce moyen la liberte serait laissee au Cultivateur de jouir de sa propriete, an Negociant d'utiliser ses capitaux, au Fabricant d'exercer son industrie ; qu'ainsi les principes constitutionnels du Gouvernement seraient respectes.".
