STATE OF THE COUNTRY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE !MAIL ' SlR—Some one has said, " The people require Weep, and not words :"—to declaim, then, merely on the subject of their distresses, without presenting some means of -alleviating them, would be a work of supererogation ; and therefore, at the risk of being held rash and incompetent by those to whom my remedy may be unsuitable,' I pro ceed to describe it, according to my promise. It appears to me, that we must make up ouisincis to c omparative high money prices, if we would again flourish as a nation ; otherwise, the general frame of society will s oon be totally disorganised. Power-loom machinery being the most active and for midable competitor of hand labour, must be assailed ; slid the first measure should be to impose such a tax as would secure to the domestic weaver the monopoly of the home market. A duty of Id. per yard - , or something less, on power loom cloths, I have reason to believe, would raise the wages of the operative to a rate that would assure to him a decent maintenance.— The consumer would not feel this trivial addition, even if ignorant of the blessings it restored. A drawback might be granted of three fourths of the amount of the duty, I on the exportation of the cloth that had previously paid the 'eame should that protection be found necessary. I see no Objection to the allowing of a limited compen sation to the owners of such machinery as should be forced to abandon its employment. I say limited—be cause it is notorious, that it yields to them but a small return actually in thei r over-trading speculation., end'' might also have foreseen the consequences of large , tale engrossing, or rather annulling, the privileges of na tive industry. The difference between the drawback and the duty might be applied to pay the interest of the in demnity so granted. It is the current opinion that our manufacturer, unless supplied by mechanical power, can not contend against the foreigner : it is on this account a drawback is proposed; but I hold it to be one of our greatest delusions, artfully fomented by private interest. The present low and ruinous prices of goods are cited in proof of this ; but the undeniable truth is, that' it is not the competition of foreign manufactures, but of our own, that occasions the glut that over powers the demand. At another time, when it suits the argument, we are surfeited by assertions of the superiority of our manufacturing powers ; no doubt they are considerable in every respect, and will defy ri valry to a certain extent. It is, in my opinion, quite a practical question ; and that, provided (as I have stated before) we can buy, we may always sell. The value of our cotton cloth exported is also greatly magnified. In most parts of Europe it is excluded, from policy, or re jected as unsuitable. In North America it is taxed to prohibition, and South America and Brasil alone are the chief consumers : but our own colonial dependencies take the greater part. I cannot, however, understand why we should set so high a value on an export trade which yields no profitable return. The merchant declares he sells under prime cost : the manufacturer scarce recovers the raw material : and the operatives, who finish the goods in their various details, receive scarce human subsistence. Is it in these results that we are to obtain a recompense for the just and equivalent prices that might be derived from our home and colonial consumption? Is such a commerce worth such a struggle ? My conviction is, that the effectual foreign demand would increase, rather than diminish ; but it must also be remembered, that the raw matesiel is not of British growth. It is not my intention to tramples farther.os the attention of yaw seadem. Cow curing entirely with the statements of Mr. WISTRIIII, as set forth in his Third Letter, just published, on the advantage of high money prices, repetition is useless. I shall only add a defensive system must bs adopted, with caution and judgment, for the preservation of our ship ping trade, and the leading manufactured commodities of the country, by a check being imposed on foreign competition. The entire revival of our well-being and prosperity will then be consummated. ULYSSES. A special meeting of the Governors of the Scottish Hospital was held in Crane -court, Fleet-street, on Wed . needay, when a motion having been made for confirming the minutes of the last court, Mr. Hume moved an amendment for the . immediate appointment of a Com mittee, to enquire into the funds of the charity, which was negatived by a majority of five ; the number being for the amendment 22, against it 27. Without confi dence in the due administration of its funds, no charitable institution can possibly flourish. It must, therefore, prove a matter of deep regret to every friend, not only of this valuable establishment, but of humanity at large, that the motion of Mr. Hums was not acceded to, or that if . doomed to fail, it was not rejected by a triumphant ma jority sufficient to dissipate all doubts, suspscoon, and discontent, which may be entertained by so large a por tion of the meeting. Considering then the nneatidsolemy state in which the question is left by so class &aikidos, the result may be regarded on the part of the oppaments to enquiry less a victory than a defeat. They are moth mistaken if they suppose the public will attribute difr opposition to conscious rectitude and loftiness of spirit that would not allow even the possibility of a mospidia there could be any thing wrong in the management or the charity. Wherever there . Is mystery ind cowed. meat there will be suspicion and mistrust. The Duke of Orleans and his sister lately received a notice from the Commissioners of Crown Lands, silk* to pay annually a duty equivalent to the fourth pawl of the restates which were restored to the Do Dowager, their mother, in 1814, or to surrender than up to the Crown. The estates in question were originally bestowed upon the Count de Unions, by Louis the Fourteenth, as a reoompence far the services which be had rendered that Monarch. In 1750, the es tates were purchased by the Duke de Penthievre, whose daughter was Duchess Dowager of Orleans. .In 1794, all the possessions of the House of Orleans came under the national sequestration. In 1815, Inch of these possessions as had not been " nationally sold," were restored to the Duchess Dowager of Orleans, and amongst them were the estates in question. The pre sent Duke of Orleans and his sister appeared against the citation to pay the Crown land tax on the grounds— first, that the property was not Crown bald property, and, therefore, not inalienable from the Crown ; and, secondly, that having been in quiet and peaceable possession from 1814 to 1828, the claim of the Crown had lapsed. The Counsel for the commission contended, that the legal maxim in Franco bad always been, that Crown Lodi wore inalienable. This principle was consecrated by the sdi* of 1607, which declared all theSp estates of Hears IV. . be attached to the Crown, noterithi the'Aipt= of that Monarch..

SIR —lf we proceed to exassiffitrllsei elate of oar ad ministrative system, we shaU find that it!is debt:lent In that stability which ought to existo Plitusipies, which are so useful to mankind in their iiiieile'esailiset, are in dispensible in public transactions; diet guarantee the people a good administration of their affairs, and to the Government,confidence, affection, and gratitude ; and if the distracted state of the Republic has caused a prejudicial vacillation, there is no doubt that as soon as order is es tablished, the administrative system will be properly re gulated, and steadily maintained. Our Topography is also little known. The Govern ment not possessing accurate returns of the produce of agriculture, of the operations of commerce, and wanting tables of the industrious powers of the population, as well as of the national resources, it is impossible that without these statistic aids, the basis of any appropriate system can be framed. It is true, that many regulations and de -1 trees have been promulgated to remedy these and other inconveniences; but unfortunately, from one cause or an other, orders hare not been obeyed. The day is not dis tant, however, when the Government, after having ma turely weighed its instructions, will require the fullest and promptest execution of them by the sub-authorities.. It is but justice to add, that the first public function aries could find but little assistance in any of the administrative branches. All the national impedi ments to be expected in a newly-created people presented themselves; but the Government must henceforth seek out and only employ capable persons, remunerate them sufficiently, and distribute reward and punishment with an impartial band justice, rigid justice—must be its rule of action. Our ceconomical system requires vital reforms. There is no good plan ofrevenue, and it is not to be wondered at, since in the most civilised countries, there is much differ ence Of opinion on this subject. The contributions are not sufficient, not well selected, or properly distributed. The maxim is not enforced, that " when every one pays with that which he ought, and with no more than lie ought, the benefit is general, and the resources of the Fisk are inexhaustible." There is want of method in the collection of the taxes, and of conformity to orders in the departments. There is not a simplicity in the accounts, or an effective respon sibility for the public money, in places remote from the central authority. Imposts, very odious and prejudicial, have been revived, because they were customary, or on the recommendation of persons thought disinterested, but who were really interested in the perpetuation of abuses. Such, for example, are the ominous alcabala—the arbi trary and *riding capitation tax—the injurious mono poly of aquadente, and that territorial contribution, which is so grievous to agriculture; and, which, to be of any value, say* be accompanied with a census, and an • • • From want of system, to which may be added, the or skilfuhms, the immorality, and poverty of many of 'the aubaltera agents, there have been a scandalous defalca tion of revenue: The Collectors often enter into cri- Weal engagements with the Payers, to the prejudice of is Fish. The Government, thinking to remedy some of the numerous frauds of which the public treasury was 'She victim, farmed some branches of the taxes, and the evil has but augmented, for that practice is always no companied with many abuses. The Collectors enrich themselves with the substance of the people, and instead of benefitting the State, they occasion it detriment by the discontents their vexations engender. All the rents of the Republic, particularly the Cus tom, having diminished, the Government, to provide for the public expenditure, was obliged to have recourse to forced contributions, a nd loans...a pernicious system, for the necessities of the State reconmence almost before the money so collected is received, because it violates the first principles of taxation, which should never touch the capital of the citizens, and inasmuch as its arbitrary character offends and creates dissatisfaction. Hence the frequent complaints and reclamation of the assessed parties, who from various cameos besides that of justice, frequently obtain diminution of the charges, bat which is also an injury to the government, by reducing the amount of the sum wanted, and by manifesting error, or a weakness that is fatal to its authority. Many evils would have been avoided by a good system of credit, " without credit treasures waste, people im poverish, and governments have neither force or support." Money being scarce, it wee necessary to supply the want of this representative sign of the value of all things, that is to say, a public debt properly organised should have been formed, and a Hatiosiel Bank estate. fished. In the first of them measures, the goverment would have found a medium of circulation and re production, a link of adhesion and confidence ; a gua rantee of success to all its beneffcial undertakings ; and a source of relief for the contributors to the • State, su ' , that every State is richer fir what it owes, it con readily and psnictuaily pay. By the lost measure, the circulating medium would have been aug mented, the interest of mosey new so exorbitant would have been reduced, and that .

The circumstances of the dreadful affair are as follow:—About • fortnight back- his Ma jesty, being in want of a couple of doe deer for his palace at Windsor, sent word to the Princess, requesting that two, the finest that could be selected from Greenwich park, might be shot, and forwarded at the expiration of two days to the Royal Palace. Her Royal Highness im mediately issued her warrant for the destruction of the deer, and gars it to Mr. Buck, the deputy ranger, who, without delay, gave the necessary instructions to Mr. J.

Her Royal ;Highness's commands were communicated to him by one of the household, sad he said they should is attended to.

Pursuant to his orders the unfor tunate man loaded his echo, and about 12 o'clock .yes terday be sallied forth for the purpose of slaying the deer.
