The returns of the Revenue for the quitter ending this day, will not be made up until this evening, and our Readers might, without any eztr 'ordinary stretch of patience, wait for the official documents until to. morrow ; as, however, sortie of our contemporaries ate indulging in very wild speculations on the subject, it nSay be as well to state a few (acts. That; after the repeal of twenty-seven millions of Taxes in n:ne years, the increasing consumption er com merce of the •country should make up the deficiency is what; no' person, psetending to common sense, can rifwxt; or, when last year Taxes to the amount of more 449'..thlie millions. weie repealed, and the commerce arnd•manufactures of the country have been convulsed, .the Proceeds of a Quarter, sharing largely in the effects of the calamity, should equal that of the corresponding Qiiiirtoi of last yeai, when we were in the heigh. day of commercial pre'spet icy, is tun to be expected. Persons who 14k . for this, would expect grapes from thorns and figs iron) thistles. . _ . irie•il l efote issential to consider the circumstances unciei which the Returns for the present qtarter appear, bgforg le compare them with those ofd former period. --Deming • the Lest year, as we have already stated, taxes were repealed to the amount of upward of three maltous . steilini L namely British Spirits and Rum, Wine,Assesed Taxes Customs . . Salt (reMaining duty), Wive, dr.c. . Mtn?, . £1,250,000 9 1 10,000 276,000 250,000 200.000 150,000 100,000 • Cider, 20,000 making a total of 3,146,0001. repe a l e d d ur in g l ast yea r . 1 • • gal Asia . is a direct sum of 750,0004 • in repealed TAM to be reduced firm the amount of the present 4µther as compared with that of last year ; to this ttrusube added the almost total stagnation in commerce affecting all classes of society, and every branch of bu siness. Under such circumstances, the Avdenue must S • sitifer ; and that in various ways—first, by lessening the demand and consumption of taxed articles ; secondly, by checking commercial enterprise; and •thirslly s bytacressitig the difficulties of collecting ifs'!i i .i74es already due. Tlfe latter circumstance we are oonvinced affects the-Revenue, in times like the present ; 16 451 .PtitPle. ale :iware, fr r, to the honour of the pessent.Minister...they have not made the demands of GoVdi sisheni ptksi upon the necessities of others, but b*n sbitOs 411 e considerstiOn in this respect. nutifoilf•of tbh, we need only mention that *hen 10Mtier fur Iletefotchhire, applied to , tl e Lords of the Treasury for an extension of fime.in the payment of Excise chides, though his solicitation was not backed by any memorial from his Constituent., yet, their Lordships gave immediate orders to the Board of Excisea to instruct their officers forthwith to afford every faiility in the collection of the duties to those persons who might be suffering under the peculiar circumstances of the times." The principal falling off in the returns of the Quarter ending to•dey is in the Customs ; but uniting the Cus• toms and the Eicise together, we believe the deficiency .of the present Quarter, as comp:red with the comes ' ponding Quarter of last year, will not exceed 450,00 a while the taxes repealed for tliat period, are upwards of 750,0001. t•r s ty nothing of the other circumstances to which we have alluded, as affecting the Revenue in the present Quarter. The produce of the Customs for the Quarter ending to•day,• will be about 3,300,0001.; and that for the Quarter ending sth of April, 1825, 2,200,0001. This leaves an apparent increase on the Quarter just ending of between a million and 1,100,090/ ; but it is to be considered, that the Return of the Customs includes the transferred duties from the Excise, which considerably exceed the seeming surplus, and leave a deficiency on the Customs. I, the Escise we rejoice to find that several articles yield an increase ; and as Commerce is recovering frum its severe shock. the Customs will, we are sure, sr•on become not only highly productive,• but even compen sate fully for the temporary deptession this branch of our Revenue has sustained. The great sources of our national prosperity are unimpaired; and we may say of this country, what is said of Mount Atlas, that— " While storms and tempests thunder on its bruw , . . And oceans break their ii4ows at its feet, It stands unnumed, and glories-in its height." The Bogota Constitutionnel of the sth January, which has been received, contains the Message of the Vice-Passinext of Colombia to the Congress of 1826. in which he states that Spain still perseveres in rejecting all overtures of arrangement, but that uninterrupted peace was maintained with all the State s of the South American continent. The Vic* PILISIDCNT alto alludes to the late occurrences ht Peru with exultation, and gives an estl- 1 mate of the receipts and expenditure of last year, which sbevirkthe present prosperous state of the country. German Papers to - the 31st ult. reached us this fore. noon, but they contain no political intelligence - of any interest. The sittings of the Hungarian Diet continue without interruption. In the 77th, held on the 17th ult. his Imperial Highness the Archduke PALA.. TINS communicated to the Chamber of Magnates the happy intelligence that his Majesty the &tram)* was out of all danger, and it was then announced to the Chamber of D.puties. It was received by both with the' most ardent enthusiasm. The Frankfort Paper, in ,an article from Leipsic, dated the2lst of March, says—"" M. KAMPITZ, partmea in the house or Fruit RICHTER, was brought in here under arrest, the day before yesterday. He had drawn bills of eschange to the amount of 26,000 dollars, and when they became due, it appeared that he • concealed the matter from his partner, and had employed the pro • coeds to his own benefit. He had in consequence ab sconded, but was overtaken and arrested at Gera." The Austria* Observer, received this forenoon, has some accnturts from Constantinople, of 25th February, but they contain little more than what was already known through other channels. Our Ambassador to the Porte, Mr. STRATFORD CANNING, had not yet at. rived at Constantinople; but this Jaurnal says in a note, " The Jitnissary of the Austrian Embassy, wb6 brought the mall of the 25th February, from Constan tinople to Bucharest, reported there, that he met Mr STRATFORD CANNING at a short distance from the capital, to which be was proceeding by land. By the arrival of a J4maica Mail this forenoon, we have received Colonial Papers to the 21st of February, but they do not contain any news of importance. The following notice received by this conveyance has been posted at the North and South American Coffee-house: .4 GaussAL Po:T-6mm Kaaren's, JAMAICA, PI WA Is. " A ?bet-once having been established at Port Royal, a boat from that Mee will apply for and receive frgm all vessels arriving off that Port their letter bags to be forwardeM Kingston.': We have received Unites Papers to the 10th ult. There seems a growing animosity between the northern and southern States of the Union. The Vir ginia House of Delegates have declared the Tariff unconstitutional, as also the powers of Congress to make . lurch and canals, or to appropriate money for those purposes.. This is pronounced by the Richmond Enquirer' to be an act not of faction but - retell; not adopted to acquire power, but to preserve their liberties; and the same Paver adds, 4 that Virginia is impelled, not by the lust of ainrsiti n, but the sense of common dangers ; not to put this or that man out of power, but to save the Constitution from abuse, and to limit the acts of the federal Government to its defined and legitimate fonc titms! She invokes, therefore, the co•oper ation of he. sister States list the work of reform. She invites their back the Government to the true a•sistance in bringing principles of the Lonstitutior. A new York Paper, remarking on this act of the Virginians. ac; cuses them of caring nothing for the Federal Union, except as it may conduce to the aggrandisement of their own state. "They are,' says the New York Journalist, "Virginians, not Americans— they regard their .laves as much, if not more, than many of their _ . . /aim-citizens; and provided they can get the highest price for their tobaccoomd pay the lowest price for what they consume, it is to them a mattrr of Uttk moment, whether manufactures flourish or coma coerce thrives:. The French Papers of Sunday and Monday have reached us. They contain accounts from bladrid of the Silt ult. stating, that the present Ministers had lost the confidence of the Royalists • and that if the Fr e nch G overnment i mag i ne d t h at i t had provided for the tranquillity of the Peninsula by occupying some d its fortified cities, it committed a dangerous error, and would be compelled to lessthan year to recall its troops or to re inforce tht nt, in order to act hostilely.

It is with Much pleisine we inform the poblici that the mildness of the weather yesterday enabled his MAJESTY to resume his usual recreations in the Great Park. The Kum kit the Royal Lodge about one o'clock in his pony phaeton, accompanied by the Lotto STEWARD, and attended by outriders. lie drove himself through the most pleasant parts of the Park, visiting Virginia Water, Sand Pit Gate, and other of his favourite retreats, and inspected the various alterations which bare been mating at the former place during his confinement. His Maarrry's appearance was that of perfect cheerfulness; bearing no marks of having suffered from illness. He returned to the Royal Lodge at four o'clock, having been absent three hours, and pro ceeded to his apartments, where he dined and passed the evening. THE ITALIAN OPERA. Pietro terentita was repeated last night, and it Went off with great success. The admirable manner in whith particular passages of the Opera are executed has given the revival all its success; and the greatest of its charms, beyoad comparison, is the 4gia of Bottum Her performance of the duet with Custom. is an example of great sineng, and was rapturously encored. In the last scene, too, after the death of Oruntume, the fine qualities of her voice, the admirable expression of her style, and the power of her acting, rivalled each' .nber its excellence. l'zwroann and Content sang their duet very finely, and it was encored. CAItAPORI sang her principal scene with more than her usual spirit, and with great sweetness of ;one and expression. l'oaxo:s Pietro is one of his best performances; and upon this occasion he spared no effort to sustain his deserved reputation. A most grateful piece of intelligence reached es on entering the Houses; Madame PASTA'S engagement, it seems, is finally concluded, and she will make her appearance in the course of a week or two. The Opera was splendidly attended. r ABDUCTION OF MISS TURNER. Mr. William Waktyfield, one of the brothers concerned in carrying off Miss Tomas, underwent g second examination before THOMAS Leon, Esq. and G. W. Nxwrox, Esq. on Monday last, at Disley, near Stockport. The prisoner, who is a very genteel looking young man. about 21 years of age, with something of a foreign appearance. was brought from Stockport in the custody of Barratt, the deputy constable of that town ; he was nut provided with any professional assistance. The first witness examined was the young Lady herself, who positively denied that she had ever seen the - prisoner or his brother, before they received her at the Albion Hotel. She admitted that no force whatever was used ro; wards her, by any of the pantie* conc:nied in the abduction, but stated that she should not have consented to accompany Mr. Wake field, or to marry him, had it not been for the artifices practi4ed upon her, and especially the representations of the probable rain of her father if she refund. _ _ • Mr. Turner, the father of the young Lady, stated that she was his only child, and was fifteen years of age last February ; that be was possessed of landed and personal property, to which she was the heir apparent; that his daughter was placed at bchool at Liverpool, and that she was fraudialeutly removed from thence without his authority. The next witness examined was Miu Dalby, who stated that she and her three sisters kept a boarding-schosi at Liverpahl, and that Miss Turner was in their care on the SA: of March last, on which day, about eight in the morning, a letter was presented a her by a person who came with a carriage, and stated himself to be servant to Mr. Turner, whose wife had been taken ill with a paralysis, and wished to see her daughter, who, in about twenty minutes,act out in the carriage with the person who brought the letter. This concluded the evidence. Mr. Harmer, who attended as the Attorney of the prisoner, declined putting any questions to Miss Dalby; but contended that the offence amounted only to a misde meanour, as Miss Turner, was not heir apparent, but heir presump tive. The Magistrates were of this opinion, but declined admitting the prisoner to bail, and a warrant of commitment to Lancaster Castle was made out accordingly—Mr. Harmer stating that be should apply fot a writ of 'lakes: aqua, In order to have the pri soner brought up sod boiled before the Judges. The two following cases from the Law Reports May, Itt this time, be read with interest, and without preju dice to Messrs. Wakefield's trial, the event of which will depend alone upon the evidence. ravorsa AND N0W211 . 2 CARS, MSCRAIILINAII TIROS, 13 CAL 1, cao. CAR. 463. They having been found guilty on the Statute 3, 11. 7, cap. 2, judgment was pronounced by Justice Joneo, who said that, although it had been objected that the Statute was obsolete, it was a good Statute. Many hare not been executed, because they had their Clergy before the Statute 39th Elia. e. 9, but some have been since hanged. It had also been objected that the woman had been mar. vied with her consent ; but Rill the Judges thought that immaterial, the taking being against her will; and although it was not a mar• riage de jury, because she was in such fear (as she affirmed upon her oath) that she knew not what she answered or did, yet it was a marriage de facto, and felony within the statute—whereupon judgment was given that they should be hanged ! JOHN BROWN'S CARR, TRINITY TWIN, 25 CAR. 2. 1 vanities aseoars, 231. He was indicted upon the Statute 3 H. 7, cap. 2, for forcibly taking away and marrying one Lucy Ramsy, having a fortune of 5,0001. She was inveigled into Hyde Park by one Mrs. P. a confederate of Brown, who had a coach for the purpose, to take the alr, when the coachman drove from thi rest of the company, and Brown came to the coach in it mask, and addressing himself to Mrs P. soon persuaded her to get out of the coach, and also a maid servant attending Lucy Ramey, and then got himself into the coach, and detained her until the cdarhman carried them to his lodgings in the &rand. The neat morning he prevailed upon her (having first. threatened to carry her beyold sea, if she refused) to marry him. He was the same day apt t u .e4ended in the Muse. The Court held that Ramsy was admissible as a witness; and the evidence being elear•as to al! the points of the Statute, vie. Ist, that the taking was by force; 9. dly, that the woman had sub stance ; and 3dly., that marriage ensued, though it did not appear to have been consummated, the Jury found him guilty. Where upon judgment was given, and be was hanged. THE GREEKS. ORDER IN COUNCIL. 44 Council-office, Whitehall, March 28.
