Second work: The Chamber of Commerce of Le Havre, filled with great expectations for its commerce and trade upon the start of the reign of Charles X, now expresses its great disappointment, doubts and anguish upon learning about the plans to establish an entrepot in Paris.Third work: discusses the loss of the French colonies since the French Revolution: Tabago, Sainte-Lucie, Isle-de-France, St. Domingue and the effects this has had on the position of France in comparison with England, discusses the different policy in England concerning import and export and the entrepot (both in finance and organization) and discusses the idea to establish an entrepot in Paris, something the author strongly rejects. The idea of an entrepot in Paris was one of the many ideas intended to re-vitalize the commerce and trade of France after the devastating Napoleonic wars. - Few marginal stains in the second piece. ‎
