LORD BYRON. The following characteristic letter from Lord Bxaow, h dated Genoa, 1823, and addressed to one of his best and wisest friends. It is an answer to a letter advising economy and retrenchment: "This is merely a line of advice to your honour, to get me out of the tremulous funds of these oscillatory times. There will be a war somewhere no doubt ; and wherever it may be,the funds will be affected more or less; so pray get us out of them with all proper expedition. It has been the burden of my song to you these three years and better, and about as useful as wiser counsels With regard to Chancery appeals, arbitrations, survey ing', bills, fees, receipts, disbursements, copyrights, ma norial ditto, funds, lands, Bcc. &c. I shall always be disposed to follow your more practised and practica ble experience. I will economise, and do, as I have partly proved to you by my surplus revenue of 1822, 1 which almost equals the ditto of the United States of America, in proportion (vide President's Report to Con- 1 }tuts); and do you second my parsimony by judicious d sbursements of what is requisite, and a moderate lis' quidation.

The Second Chamber of the States General began yestersluy to examine in the sections the Decennial Budget. It is affirmed that the produce of the public revenue, during the last four months of last year and the first eight months of tl,e present year. has been so great as to exceed the estimate by 2,779,958 florins. The esti mate of the revenue of 1828 exceeded the expenditure by 793,367 florins ; thus, if the proceeds of the last four months of the present year do not fall short, we shall have a surplus of 3,488,325 florins.

" JOSE BARATA kBEIRE DR LIMA, " Lisbon, Oct. 27, Inn." Oa Sunday, the 26th, his Majesty's birth-day, there was a grand review of all the troops in the capital, which Made a very fine appearance ; and• his Majesty was highly gratified with their discipline. Wherever his Majesty appeared he was received with the loudest acclamations by the immense crowd, which was at tracted by the fineness if the day, and the interest it excited•by t occasion, it being the first anniversary.of his Majesty's birth-day slate his accession to the throne. In the evening his Majesty went to the Operain the Theatre of St. Charles; and as it was the first time singe bis were to Portugal, it may be conceived with what transports he was received. FRENCH PAPERS. 11014 TIM MMAI3IIII DNS CHAMIRZI, NOV. 11. PEST. OcT. U. In this country, also, the reduction of Varna has given great pleasure. The contrast with all the news we had received was the greater, as every day pre tended politicians decidedly spread the most gloomy reports of continual defeats of the Russians, and if we might believe them, the Ottoman bands, in the intoxica don of victory, greedy of conquest and plunder, were going to attack every thing that bears the Christian name, and, without regard to treaties, to invade our frontiers. If we might believe these alarmists, it was necessary, withoot loss of time, to make preparations for resistance, but all these reports have vanished as quickly as they arose. Meantime millions of Greeks looked with consolation and hope to the final termina tion of the sufferings of their countrymen, and all patties joined at least in admiration of the firmness of the Emperor Nicholas and his army. Among us Hungarians the fall of Varna produced an effect like that of some romantic exploits of the ancient crusades. It is no wonder if Hungary some• times recollects its ancient splendour, when Contend. nople was the emporium of the commerce of the world, the general direction, which was Oriental, and the trade on the Danube was incredibly active. The Emperor Nicholas, triumphing over the never•eonquered walls of Varna, has avenged the blood of Wladislaus, King of Hungary and Poland, who fell before it, and ap peased the manes of the Hungarian heroes, Hunnlady, Bathory, Kemeny,. and Rosgoni. Perhaps the French may now take vengeance in the Morea, for the defeat which they once suffered under their brave Artois and Burgogne, together with us Hungarians, before Nice polls. In general, old times return, and we cannot cons ' plain of want of variety and importance in the affairs of the world. FROM THE JOURNAL DU COMMERCE, NOV. 10. PARIS, Nov. to. The Phare du Havre contains a very remarkable ar ticle, On the Colonial System of M. de St. Cricq," in which the unlimited freedom of commerce is ably pro fessed and stipported by the most powerful arguments. Alter having demonstrated that the increase of duty falls upon the consumers, makes them pay dearer for every thing they consume, and consequently diminishes their revenue, and thus renders them less capable of encouraging production, the author ads' if it is true that without the protection of prohibitory duties, or of absolute prohibition, certain branches of manufactures would never have been developed in France? He is na of that opinion. He is even persuaded that if we were to compute, will compound intetest, all that it has cost France within the last thirty or forty years to place the 'pinning and weaving of cotton among the first branches of I , ur manufactures, We shouldbe frightened at the re snit of the calculation, esiecially if we were to take into ihe account the enormous duties imposed by Napoleon on all the taw materials employed in that branch of industry.

Yesterday, the 26th, the anniversaty of the birth day of her Majesty the Empress Mother, his Majesty the Emperor arrived in this capital in perfect health, be tween eleven and twelve o'clock. In the morning Te Deum was celebrated in honour of the day, and afterwards the standards taken from the enemy at Varna and Ardaghane, and the keys of the fortresses, were carried through the principal streets of the city, which were illuminated in the evening. This morning there were thanksgivings in the Casan Cathedral for the happy return of our august Monarch, in the presence of the Emperor and Empress Alesan dra. The Members of the Council of the Empire, the Ministers, Senators, Generals, &c. as well as the Foreign Ministers, were present at this solemnity, which drew together an immense concourse of people, not only in the church but in the adjacent streets. Their Majesties on entering and leaving the Cathedral were greeted by the joyful acclamations of the multitude, happy to see our beloved Sovereign returned.—Journal de St. Pe tersburgh o Oct. 28. ST.

" After offering the due tribute of praise and gratitude to Goo. who defends the Just cause, and has 'given new success to the Rus sian arms, I wish to honour the memory of my august predecessor, who under the wails of the same city of Yarns which we have con quered, lost every thing, victory and life, only not his honour.— Here fell, fighting under the standard of the intrepid son of Jagellon Wiadislaus, King of Poland. The place where his bones rest Is unknown, but I will have his memory consecrated in a man ner worthy of him, in the capital of Poland itself. I destine for this purpose twelve Turkish cannon of the number of those which we have taken in Varna. These cannon shall be placed in a suitable situation according to the directions of his Imperial Highness the C.esarrevitsch (Constantine), In honour of the hero who is no more, and of the brave Russian warriors whose victory has avenged his death.

The Assiuea for the department of Vauclase (held at Carpentras),which have just terminated, of etassothing , 1 remarkable, except the reading of a letter from a wit ness examined on one of the trialsorhich threw the Court and the public into unextinguishable fits of laughter. The purport of the letter was to obtain permission for the writer to return home before the trial, in which he had been examined, was over. The following is as literal a translation as the extra ordinary style of the letter will permit: " At the Hotel of M. GMy, Curium, the 18th of the moth of October, ssit. 8, Mr. King's Procurator—The undersigned H y polite Consolin, particular forest ranger of the woods of Pazet, belonging to M. Marie Remon and M. Marsiat Bosse, re siding at Vignon ; I dare to supplicate from your religion, and in virtue of your titles and qualities, that the above named Consolin, as a witness for the prosecution against Antoine Das id, after his deposition made before the as sembled Council of your Court of this town of Carpen tuts, the day of yesterday, the 17th of Oct. summons re ceived, at your request, from the King's Procurator ; an indisposition has come upon the undersigned Consolin from a coldness upon the brain, which has attributed to his chest a species of suffocation from the want of breathing; besides, from the very simple delay which was given him to take some little aliment of nourish. ment, his teeth served tam but very incommodiously to bruise the food. Fearing lest this indisposition of infirmity should become more serious upon him in consequence of the delicacy of his lungs, bowels, and fibres, may it please you to restore him to the entertainment and usage of the aliments of his own house at Lawris. First, I dare to observe that the constitution of his human body has never been able to undergo forced labours, excepting only with re gard to instrumental stringed music ; and that wind instruments are contrary to his health, as the astrolabe but ill accords with the animodar. He hopes from you, Mr. King's Procurator, and from Mr. the Pre- sident, and Messieurs the Judges, and the brilliant Council of the Court of Assize of this town, that, authorised by your approbation, it may be permitted to the underigned Consolin to retire to his domicile at Lawris, there to have himself taken care of, and to be paid for his journey out of the effects of Antoine David, the prisoner. If, at all events, you wish to have toe again, with regard to the deposition that I made the day of yesterday, the 17th, I can only-give you a rcpt.• tition of the same. This I swear by my name. I hope from you this liberty, and this favour for the utility and reparation of my health. And, Messieurs, Ido myself the honour of being your very humble, very obedient, very humiliating, and very subjected subaltern servant, and weakest of subjects. Reserve to yourselves my homage. "Here is my name which will stand seculity for may words. Your devoted " CONSOLIN. eldest son. " Particular Forest-ranger." " P.S.—M. Victor Robert, an inhabitant of Lawris, may accompany us, it appears to me, in the same car riage. if you will permit him also to come. He made his deposition the day of yesterday, the 17th, as a wit ness for the prosecution." Certainly this letter surpasses in ludicrous absurdity all that the authors of the most extravagant farce have ventured to imagine for their molt htais or clownish ' characters. Had it been produced in a novel or a farce., it would have been con.lemned for its apparently utter' impr Ibability and e xtravagance.

On Monday last, pursuant to notice, a M. eting was held at the Court.house, in this town, to form a Bruns wick Constitutional Club. Were we to say that the • Mating was numerous, it were true; were we to say it was highly respectable, we did it no more than jus lice ; but did we attempt ti describe the fervour, unani mity, and enthusiasm that pervaded the breast :sfivery individual present, the most energetic language, the most high wrought terms of eloquence itself must fail to convey an gdeqiiate impression on the minds of any who had nqt been present. The morning was particularly unpleasant for persons coming from a distance, as much rain had fallen; but notwithstanding this obstacle, and the extreme shortness of the twice, the Protestants of the ce.unty came pour. ing in from all quarter.. At twelve o'clock the street "as completely crowded, and when at one the doors of the Court-house were thrown open—the rush of the impatient, long-suffer ing. and too long neglectei Process tint peasantry was tremendous. The Right Honour• th'e the Eirl of Lot/crows had arrived in town at a I's'le abet ten o'clock that morning, from Packenhans Hall, and when at one o'clock he enteted the hall of the Court-house, followed by Sir Grottos R. FRTHRRSTOII. Bart. M.P. and almost all the respectable Gentlemen of the county, the thunders of applause which burst from every individual was absolutely deafening, nor wit it for a considerahle time that this enthusiastic tribste of respect to that Nobleman, who has so gloriously led the van in defence of our Protestant Constitution, sub. sided sufficiently to admit of the regular routine of business being gone thrragh. As soon as order was established, the reluisition calling the meeting was read by the Secretary, THOMAS ACHMUTY, El. when Sir Gamine R. FRTHRRSTON, Bart. moved that the Lend of the Soil, the Right Hon. the Earl of LONGFORD, do take the Chair. ALEXANDIR Bistosrosr, Esq. having secondei the motion, The Earl of LONGFORD came forward to address the Meeting ; be was receive) with the most rapturous ap plause, nor was he, for a considerable time, with the huzzaing and cheering, permitted to proceed. When si'ence was restored, he spoke to the following effect: Sit George Fethersron en 1 Geni men, in accepting the honourable situation to which you have been pleased to call me, I shall beg leave. to take up a few minutls of your time (and they shall be very few) in ex plaining to you the principles of the Brunswick Con stitutional Club., and the objects for alias they are formed ; wit the reas In why you are now called toge ther, and lastly, why you were not brf•re. With re spect to the principles of the Brunswick Constitutional Clubs, we are hate assembled honestly to express our reverence for the Constitution in Church and State— our anxious desire for the peace and welfare of the country, and tar love for our fellow-subjects of all do. nominations. We are not here for the purpose of at tacking the interests or welfare of any class of society, but to afford pro-ection—not to embarrass the laws. but to proffer assistance in the execution of them. The principle upon which those Clubs are formed, and upon which alone we are to act, are firmness in delence of our Protestant Constitution, unanimity, peace. and mo deration; we associate to defend our glosious Protestant Constitution in Church and State; in doing s-, we are to act with firmness, unanimity, and decision, but mo.. deration must ever be our characteristic. We assemble not to offer hostility to the laws of the land, but to sup port them—not to overturn the established orders of the Constitution but to uphold them—not to offer in sult to any class of society, but by our moderation to show our respect for the laws, and by our firmness our determination to support them. Those ate the prin ciples upon which we act, and by which we hope to be of use. Our objects are not to gratify lersonal feelings, but to conduce to public ends—not act against our ene mies, but to defend our friends—(Loud cheering).— Such, my friends, are the principles and objects for which the Brunswick Clubs have been established; and I hope, when we separate this d.y, it will be borne in mind, that though we must act with unanimity and firmness, yet moderation, as I said bef re, mwt ever be our characteristic—(Hear, hear). I am now to state to you why you are called together. We have all, at dif ferent times, viewed with astonishment the proceedings of a body tending to destroy the institutions of the country ; proceeding systematically, step by step, is overturning the Constitution ; setting aside the enact ments of the Legislature; assuming its functions; levy. ing taxes; raising and disbanding armies, at pleasure. All this have we seen and borne with patience, wail counteraction becomes no longer a matter of expediency, but of necessi. y. We have set n this done by that curse of the country—the Roman Catholic Association— (Cheers) —and so danger..us do we consider their pro. ceedings, so injut loos to our country. and so inconsistent with its laws and institutions, that it is our duty now to come forward, and to skis% these is yet a party in the country, who are de. er mined to respect the Constitution, as established in Church and State, at the glorious Re volution of 1688, to uphold the I tws, and, if necessary, to defend them with their lives—(Continued cheering). I have now explained the principles of the Brunswick Clubs, and why you were called upon to form one; it only remains for me to state the tea on you %ere not called upon before. It was imossibie to foresee that the Roman Catholic Association would proceed to those lengths which they have done, in sowing disaffection and rebellion in the minds of the people ; and lavas. confidence in the wisdom of the Ministry. we t e state to interfere with then, and by doing so, to trammel their decisions or cramp their exertions; but Seeing affairs proceeding to the very verge of rebellion, and the Government not taking any active measures for the suppression of this spirit of disaffection, we come for ward now to show them that there is a strong and zea lous body in the country, determined with their lives to support the Protestant Constitution, and Protestant Ascendancy in Church and State—(The Noble Eail then took the Chair amid loud and continued Cheers): S G. Faralitarow—My Lord, I hold in my band a resolution, the purport of which is the formation of a Dion:nick Constutional Club. Your Lordship has so cleat ly pourtrayed the wretched state of this unfo' n. nate country ; you have so well &stepped the deep laid schemes of designing traitors,who have so long distur bed oar peace; you have so eloquently and manfully shown that there exists but one straight path for us to pursue that you must have brought conviction to every mind Most fully and most heartily do I comer in ova) sea-
