Two couriers have arrived from France, one with dispatches for the Duke of Wellington, the other is to go to Stiittgard. In the Sitting of the Second Chamber on the 6th, Mr. HoFFSCHINIDT made a discourse recommending the prohibition of the eiportation of corn along a part of the frontier of the Grand Duchy of Luxerobarg, where there is a real scarcity of wheat and rye, where it is difficult to import corn from the other Provinces of the Kingdom, and easy to export it by the oppo site frontier ; and he concluded by offering a Project of a Law to that drat, to be submitted to his Ma jesty for his approbation. Mr. PIKE observed, that he had a motion to make similar to that of Mr. Hoffschniidt: the turves*, he observed, had not been less abund.uit than usual, and that therefore there had been cAnse to believe that the extraordinary rise in the prices had been owing to temporary causes ; but that. this dearness still con tinuing, the King of France having offered premiums On the importation of corn, the troubles at T(sulouse and elsewhere on account of the dvarness or scarcity of corn and the consequent speculation upon these articles, make it necessary to adopt prompt and efki• cecinas measures, and therefore he proposes a law to prohibit • the exportation of corn and flour of all de scriptions from any part of the kingdom, both by sea and land. Mr. VAN AKIN seconded the motion, and both proposals were referred, on the Proposition bf the President of the Sections, with an invitation to ex amine them and make a report on their cements. MENTZ, DECEMBER 2. A German Sovereign, animated by a truly na-1 tional spirit, has already taken measures to relieve ' our distresses. A. Fund has been assigned for the building of barracks ; and our Military 'Government takes too much interest in our fate, not to accelerate this work as soon as the season will permit. Last Sunday Count Beroldingen, the Ambassador of Wurtemberg, went to the Imperial Palace, in a mourning coach, formally to announce the death of the King of Wurtemberg. A Court mourning for four weeks, from the Ist of December, is ordered on this occasion. THE EVENING sTAtt. LONDON. SATURDAY, DECEMBER 14, 1816.

That there will be much discussion during next Session of Parliament, respecting the most efficacious means for restoring prosperity to the country, is ge nerally believed. The immediate cause of the present distress is less difficult to be understood than the contriving of proper means to remove it. The demands to pay the expenses, and interest on the expenses, of a long war, exceed the amount of the surplus of the products of our industry over what is required for the sustenance of those engaged in their production. That is, the slackness of demand for the products of industry is such as not to furnish a sufficiency for the sustenance of the community and the expenditure of the Gover the otherrent. T ,he ordrathereficienc it y must press on the one, or on most press upon both ; causing to the one a waste of capital, which tends to lessen the demand for la bour, and to the other a defalcation of revenue. What should be done ? All are suffering, excepting those who derive a direct income from the public re venue. But should this prove deficient, how can they expect still to shift entirely from themselves every paft of the public pressure ? The thing is morally and physically impossible. If the consumption of • taxed articles be reduced, by the necessities of the consumers obliging them to do with a less quantity, bow is the defakation of Revenue to be remedied ?, iflaying fresh taxes on other articles ? The revenue will not be thereby rendered more productive, for the population can only part with a certain sum—the surplus of their industry over their qua absolute ne . cessities—and if the new taxes produce any thing, other taxes must fail to the same extent. In fact there is a maximum of taxation to which L . , any people veer be srougat--bet beyond wfildt is physically impossible to catty the system. This however will not be the nine in all circumstances. An industrious community, cateris pariliu, can al• ways pay more tazek than one that is less so ; and the sanie people in a time in which they can find ready markets for all the products of their industry, [can bear a load of taxes which, in a period of a dif ferent description, will 'almost grind them to powder. Till within these two years the pressure of our taxes was comparatively light, owing to the extended 'ramification's of our unrivalled commerce ; and most fortunate thing it has proved that we were enabled, by any circumstance s whatever, to bear the load, till the machinations of our inveterate enemies, who sought to blot out our name as a nation, were completely frustrated and blasted, many of the con trivers and agents scattered like vagabonds over the face of the earth, and the arch leader himself im mured in a solitary island. Our circumstances are no w distressing, bet let men of sober minds only contrast them, bad as they are, with the condition in which we should have found ourselves, had our enemies succeeded in their schemes of subjugation and rapine. For one that is now out h)f employment we should have had twenty; the whole produce of our industry—our whole wealth would haVe been regularly transmitted to a foreign country; and the best of our land would have been apportioned out to furnish estates for our oppressors! away then with unavailing regrets about the el -1 pence that our deliverance has cost us ! Let every. Individual think of the best means for retrieving our circumstances; let each be willing to bear as much AL possible his share of the pressure; and let none be so little of a patriot as to seek to enjoy, without any diminution whatever, an income derived entirely from the labours of those who, with every species of fru gality, cannot fully satisfy their own necessities. A part of our present distress is of a nature which time will remedy, by a judicious employment of capital and industry in pursuits wl;ich the spirit of enterprize will by and by point out to our mer chants and manufacturers ; but in the interim, the distress presses, and demands amelioration. At this moment the gifts of benevolence are essentially bene ficial, and furnish a high proof of the moral character of the country; but if our present difficulties shall be i , allowed to operate without a perfect remedy so long As to lay, in this country, the foundation of a Laza roni system like that which prevails in Italy, we shall be ruined past hope. Let benevolence continue its Labours, for without this, many of our poor neigh bours must absolutely perish of want ; but let some thing be speedily done to remove the cause of the malady, or at any tate to spread the ex6ting quan tity of evil more equally over the general surface, that its pressure on any portion may become more bearable. None but madmen or bad men will deny that tl—.! public distress calls for amelioration. The question is, Where should this begin ? How is it to be accom plished? In the answer all are agreed. The nation calls for frugality and economy—the Ministers have promised to exert themselves on this head. But in the practical application of the doctrine there will be found a great diversity of opinion I for it is not to be expected that any individual, whose income arises from taxes paid by others, will readily discover that his is one of the appointments which, without prejudice to the public service, may be dispensed with ; or t: as b e i s the person who:ecei yes more than an adequate remune ration for his services, whether tendered perionally or by aiding the Government with his money. When we say 44 more than adequate," we mean in relation to his own circumstances and condition, compared with those of the people from whom he demands and re ceives his recompense; far in questions of this nature all things are comparative—what may be too high a remuneration at one time may be too low at another, and tare versa. When by adverse winds a ship is detained on her voyage, and the crew reduced to short allowance, the question never is, how much each in- , dividual would require from the common stock' to satisfy him Fully ? but, how much the public stock. in their circumstances, CAO afford to each, to make their store hold out for a given time ? The one who should insist on having his full allowance, because he, chanced to be an officer, would, were the rest of the crew as inhuman as himself, be tossed into the sea. In fact, the national bark is at this moment pre cisely in the predicament which we have described. The crew is upon short allowance. How should matters be managed, so as best to meet the meal - ties of the case till better terms arrive ? Or rather.' what course should be followed to insure and corn ' mand a return of snore prosperous circumstances ? The first and most obvious answer is FRUGALITY RETRFACIIMENT—both as a body politic and u indi viduals—due attention to the cases of the various classes composing the community—find the adoption ,of such measures as may be best calculated to rea der the pressure as equal as possible. ' But whatever may be possible to be effected by economy, will, in our present circumstances, afford but little relief. Adhering straws and dust may be swept from the load, which shall yet be left heavy enough to make the animal sink under it. What relief can be obtained in this way should be admini stered ; but more powerful remedies must be resorted to—and tb this subject we mean, from time..to time, to devote a portion of columns, in the hope that bowel of the ideas, which. we may suggest, will at least be vigour. Wins ceserving or serous eutnleatiOn. Our Unit, do not allow us tu:pioixecrfarther to-day than to re mark, in addition to what we have stated above, that mere palliatives will be of little rival/. The remedies must suit the teal case, or we must, as a nation, sink under our difficulties. But we hope to spew that thtell CAS( IS not desperate—that our stamina is still sound, and only requires a due a pplication of means within our reach to restore perfect health, soundness and show An ,„, ei Valle); •° O ,„ 'lnto . ..J% AIWA'; tht 0:. 711114 i Mit% Kt ;I, `o'i I°, • VI 16 u, ism ir Si( ; I);ans,C , 3r.5,: es ih, tor Jan.: L I oy. for L'v r) has sr:;‘ verpool. f' the island ii at sea e'' b a War, er t t ,luchallt , 'a vessel did great BRIGHTON, DECEMBER it The M4rquis of CAMDEN, and the Hanoverian and Wirtemberg Ambassadors, d• parted early this day for London. Yesterday, the weather, after a turbulent night, turning out lair, her MAJESTY, and the same distin guished v elsonages who accompanied her on Wed nesday, in two carriages, left the Pavilion (or an airing .about ten minutes after one o'clock, passing up North-street, at a slow pace, to the gratification of the people, and again taking the route for Shore ham. The Royal Party, rain coming on, and the wind increasing, returned very soon after two o'clock. A small and select evening party again had the honour of being entertained at the Palace last night. The Princess CHARLOTTE and the Prince of SAXE Coaoutto leav! us for Claremont House to-morrow. The departure of her . MAJESTY, the Princess ELl zAsirrti, &c. at nearest, will be delayed until Tuesday. Another Cabinet Council was held at the Foreign Office, at twelve o'clock, on Thursday. This is the third since Saturday, from which circumstance it is presumed that the subject is urgent and important. We have already noticed that these meetings pruba bly relate to. some accommodation requested by the French Government, of a financial nature. Among the Members of the Cabinet present were, the Earls of HARROWBT, WESTMORLAND, LIVERPOOL, and BA- TfeliST, Viscount CASTLEREAGH, &c. The Council slik not break up till near four o'clock. The Dowager Marchioness of LANSDOWN enter tained a select party of fashionables yesterday evening, at her residence in Albemarle-street. Lady KEITH gave an elegant ball and supper on Thursday evening to the neighbouring Nobility and Gentry, at her seat, Purbrook Park, Hants. It is affirmed that the Emperor's fourth daughter, the Archduihess Caroline (born April Bth, 1801), who is particularly distinguished for her beauty, is destined to be the consort of Prince Frederick of Saxony, the presumptive heir to the Crown ; and that the negotiations on the subject have been al ready set on foot. PARISIAN FASHIONS, DECEMBER 10.—Silk plush is quite the fashion. A white hat of silk plush, with a ernenar of Mirakvst feathers upon the right side of the tie, and a bow of white ribbon at the bottom of the boulast is considered a distinguished head-dress.— ' Catow in general are also made of white, dark green, and buff silk plush. Many hats of plain dark velvet, are lirwd as usual with lilac and rcse, and particu larly lilac. A few tarot:: are made of rose satin, Sle: , r:r pski9n, with the tie of cloth. Some young Gentlemen 'rave fashions quite peculiar; their pan taloons ate as full as those worn by mariners, and puckered below round the annle. The shape is con fined a Is Rome, and the breast stuffed and quilted. DRURY-LANE THEATRE.—T he new Farce of Yota Erne was repeated last night, and met with the -fate which it was easy to anticipate. Crsnsideralsle dis approbation was expressed at its commencement, hot, towards the conclusion it was impossible to distinguish a word of the dialogue, from the repeated cries of " Qf 47" which burst from every part of the House. When the curtain fell, the dissatisfaction was general; and we suppose the unfortunate Piece has been with drawn, as the Farce i f tic Afidnigit Hoar was an nounced for this evening. COVENT-GARDEN new Farce, en tidal, Lore and the toothache, was brought out last night. It was beatd with p:4tiecce till near the end, .hen the dissatisfaction became univeral. It is indeed riff ng. A whiee.ical effect is intended to be pro. duce., by the stratagem of a Yorkshire waiter, by EMERY, to induce a coxcomb footman (LtsTos) to suffe- his teeth to be drawn. If acting could have produced merriment without wit or humour in the writing, the tenors of Mr. Linos: would have suc ceeded ; but the tedium and absurdity of the dialogue provoked disgust. It was, however, given out for repetition this evening. WILL OP THE LATE DUKE 01 Baunamcc.—The Will of the late Duke of BRUNSWICK bears date on the sth May, 1813, in this country ; there are two papers annexed as codicils, the first dated as the will. and the second at Brunswick, 4th May, 1815. His Serene Highness's property in England is swore to be under the sum of 41100,000. Probate was grant ed on the 11th inst. to his Royal . Highness GEORGE AUGUSTUS FREDERICK, Prince of Wee's% Regent of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, the Right Hen. ROBERT BANKS, Earl of LITiRPOOL, and Evan Faroe= HERBERT, Count MuesTen, three of the Executors. The PRINCE Remort's appointment is contained in a codicil; that of the two latter in the Will. A power is reserved of issuing probate to the Right Hon. GEORGE CANNING also appointed by the Will) the other Executor. — The Duke has bequeathed the whole of his property here (witty the exception of a few Annuities, as Legacies to some of his Household) to his two sons, CARL and WILHELM, in equal proportions.- -Much paternal solicitude is expressed concerning their education, and Mr: Thyme their tutor, has a bequest of £ 2OO per annum for life, if he continues in that capacity till they are twenty-one. The DUKE directs, that if political events should restore to them their dominions in Germany, they shall, at the age of sixteen, be sent thither, and instructed in the laws and customs of their country, and their rights and duties as Princes. In case of a contrary issue of affairs he expresses a desire that pensions may be ob tained for them in , this country. The DUKE'S mother in-law, the Dowager Margravine of BADEN, is men tioned by him in strong terms of affection and esteem, and is entrusted with the guardianship of the Princes abroad. In England the DUICeS Executors are ap pointed their guardians. The PRINCE REGENT'S ap-' pointment is stated to be by his permission, and in ease of his ROTAL• Hammes death during their minority, the charge is to devolve on her Royal High ness the Princess CHARLOTTE of WALES.
