BRITISH AND FOREIGN SHARES, TWO O'CLOCK . INAS& FAID. MR MAIM 20 S .. Brazilian Company BcaziUr., Imp. (its. .es pm.) 35 20 $1 81 80e Last night despatches were received at the Foreign Office, in Downing-street, from Lord COWLET, our Am bassador at the Court of Vienna; and this morning des patches were also received at the Foreign Office from Lord STUART DE ROTIISAY, OUT Ambassador at the Court of France. It is reported that VILLELE is again coming into power. In the present aspect of affairs, we know not from what source we should derive either hope or consolation, if we did not feel assured, that the present system of TAXA TION—the most anomalous and grievous, as well as the most burthensome, that ever a country was afflicted withal, or a free people patiently endured—was not, like all ether evils, working out its own destruction, by its un equal and oppressive operation ;—if we were not con vinced that " the axe" must soon " be laid to the foot of the tree ;"—and that Ministers will speedily, if they do not already, find themselves driven to the necessity ofpro portioning the expenditure of the State, to the almost ex hausted resources of the kingdom, and to the impoverished means of the people ; and of substituting for their present unjustifiable—because excessive and partial—mode of as sessment, some measure which, by equalising the distri bution of the public burden, may almost imperceptibly afford relief to the poorer classes, while it renders the settled incomes of the affluent, and the vast possessions of the higher ranks, available to the exigencies of the nation, and to the support of the stupendous machinery of the go vernment. When we thus pointedly, and directly, allude to such incomes and possession!, we desire that our motives may not be mistaken; and that we may not be suspected of any invidious intention to affect their actual proprie tary, or to disturb the great principle of hereditary right, which we are rather disposed to advocate, even as strenu ously as we would maintain the most sacred and venerable of our constitutional immunities, thin to question or inva lidate. All we insist upon is the expediency, as well as the justice, of rendering all such property liable to the impo sitioa of a fair and equitable scale of taxation. That such a measure has been for some time in the serious contem plation of the present Ministry, we have every reason to believe ; and we have heard it stated, upon no slight au thority, that a proposition for bringing it under the con sideration of Parliament was seriously discussed in the Cabinet, and only rejected by one dissentient voice. To the plan itself we have, indeed, heard it objected , that a PROPERTY TAX WU inquisitorial in its nature:— but we would ask, what branch of taxation is there to which a similar objection may not be raised, on much stronger and much more opprobrious grounds ? Were not the provisions of that enactment by which the enjoyment of the very light of Heaven, and the comforts of the do mestic hearth were taxed, infinitely more inquisitorial ? Were not the excise laws, which gave a set of harpies a right to ransack the property of every man, and to enter his premises at all times and seasons, at all hours and on all occasions, more inquisitorial in their nature, and more grievous in their operation ?—But we have never yet heard any argument sufficient to convince us that those who have the largest stake in the country, and whose interests consequently require the most protection, should not contribute to the maintenance of those insti tutions, by which the affairs of that country are admi nistered, and that protection is afforded to them. And, hi therto, in what ratio have thelposseesors of actual property contributed to such objects ? They have only been subject to the same standard of assessment which has re gulated the taxation of their poorer fellow subjects. The " King's Taxes," as they are called, have only fallen upon them in proportion to the size and the magnificence of their establishments ; but they have not been, and ander the existing system they could not be, subjected, to anything like such a ratio of taxation as their means would warrant, or as political economists would be jus tified in considering at all proportioned to their circum stances or to their condition, when compared with those of the great body of the people. We shall hereafter have occasion to enter more fully into the merits of a Property Tax—which, unpalatable as it may be to those who have so long enjoyed an injudicious and unfair ex emption from its infliction, we cannot but look upon as the inevitable consequence of a state of things which they have themselves so selfishly tolerated, and even encouraged,—satisfied as they were with any measure of the government that did not infringe upon their own dig nities, their privile?es, and their indulgencies. Our attention has, however, been called by the clever and forcible statement of a northern contemporary— The Scotsman—to a subject which, although it most seriously involves our own personal interests and our feelings, we never before regarded in such a light as we now do ; but which we must confess appears to us almost a matter of reproach to the professed advocates of uni versal knowledge, and the indefatigable stimulators of the " march of mind." The duties which have so long been imposed upon the public press—that is to say upon newspapers and advertisements,—have hitherto escaped all that animadversion to which they seem pecu liarly obnoxious—as constituting, not only an impost upon the spread of intelligence, but actually, a tax upon human intellect. That advertisements, as being essentially conducive to all the purposes of commerce, and to the advancement of particular and individual interests, should be subjected to a slight duty, we think just and reason able ; but that the very Paper upon which the intelli gence of the day, the news of foreign countries, and the passing events of our own, are printed and circulated, should be taxed at a rate exceeding thrice the value or cost of the paper itself, does seem to us—in the most emphatic meaning of the term—" too bad." The " disabilities" thus imposed upon a Press, boast ing of its freedom, are vexatious to the parties whom they affect, without being productive of such advan tages to the revenue as can at all counterbalance the evil, or as a more liberal policy could not fail to produce. But the mischief does not rest here; for the mere manufacture of ?paper is subject to a duty, so that the most trifling written communication—nay ; the very exercise of the mental faculties, the transmission of our thoughts—be comes a source of emolument to the Government. But these are parts, and small parts only, of a system, which, as we before said, is now fast working out its own de struction. The Folitical fermentation now agitating France, in spires our editorial seers with the most gloomy presages of awful result, big with some stupendous concussion ! a dethronement !—and a republic ! Sinister predictions, uttered without due reflection, founded on hasty deductions from mistaken premises, and which, being transmitted to print, cruelly add to the vain terrors conveyed to the minds of the too confiding princes of the Tuilleries, by designing despots, trembling lest the contagion of French freedom should spread to their respective frontiers, and rouse sla very at last to impose limits to their tyranny. While all aghast at the inexorable spread of independence and im- proving reason, the Roman conclave—weaving in busy darkness a complicated web of political intrigue, to avert threatened ruin—urges its tonsured militia, with eager desperation, to find, in the weakness of royalty, and the cupidity of its minions, a bar to the progress of public opinion : but the united resistance of France to an ob noxious Ministry—the known and convicted agents of Rome and Vienna—rather proves the fixed sin- cerity of her Constitutional attachments, than sub stantiates the bandied charge of inconstancy, which it is the hacknied practice of some of our writes to raise against her. What people on earth, until the revo lution of 1792, can produce on historical record more glorious testimony of generous forbearance, and patient docility under the hand of Government ? More respect for established institutions ? More devotion and fidelity to their princes? And if at last, tortured beyond human en durance, they dashed down the whelming burthen;—the violent delirium, the monstrous exaggeration, and fluctu ating principles that alternately distracted the bosom of France, prove that contumacious and refractory conduct was in her an unusual, a distressing, and an unnatural state of being. Prior to that period, it was our fashion to taunt and decry the French people as heartless, willing slaves, while they retorted the charge of turbulence, fickleness, and sedi tion ; sarcastically averring, that " British history should be written in letters of blood by the hand of the common executioner:"—and at last, when France rushed into her revolutionary career, did she not profess to hold us up as models, both in end and means ; her legitimate object being truly to erect a constitution similar to . that with which, at her very door, we were proudly and cruelly tantalising her wretchedness—and whilst the variety of subsequent schemes of republican go-1 vernment she adopted in her phrenzy, were but the desperate expedients of a sorely afflicted peoplehvilling at any price to escape from the cruel oppression and un wearied machinations of these very persecutors, who still hope in their infatuation to break down her spirit, or en tice her to the adoption of the superannuated cast-off systems she has repudiated in abhorrence, energetically and eternally ? But republican forms were neither prac ticable, nor were they those for which she yearned ; 1 true to the object of her primary choice, she successively relinquished them in disgust—till, wearied with a struggle to defend herself from feudal oppression. on one hand, and democratic tyranny on the other, abs threw up her cap for the Corsican, and in pursuit of glory and conquest endeavoured to drown the memory of her awful sacrifice and disappointed hope : -but no sooner was the standard of military despotism plucked down,' than she once more sprung forward in transport to reclaim that kind of government of which she was enamoured from the beginning, and which she still secretly coveted through all the horrors of anarchy and change of revolution. France, therefore, when embracing her present constitution under Bourbon auspices, only returned to the object of her original predilection, and the many ruptures and mutations that have since intervened in her political existence, might fairly be adduced ar.proofs of unalterable affection for the Government which first tempted her to dare, rather than of wanton caprice and experimental favor. But when she recovered her just equilibrium, and assumed the beauty of representative freedom, partici pating in the fruits of our national experience, and taught, by the detection of our guilty corruptions, to eschew the abuses which deface a Constitution, once the envy and admiration of the world ; she projected, in her conscious rectitude, to pursue a path to the attainment of excellence which has rendered her more terrible than when she humbled crowns and swept all before the thunders of her cannon, to the vicious governments around her ; unyielding to the times, and ungrateful towards the millions who had been sacrificed so long and so pro fusely to maintain their iron sceptres. Leipsic and Waterloo had no sooner rescued the monarchs of Europe from their terrors, than, regretting the past, they at once resolved—not to profit by late sufferings—but to enjoy once more the full sweep of their old Gothic tyranny, and again tread down the nations to a state of convenient slavery. Above all, the crazy, illiberal house of Haps burg, trembling for Italy, and afraid lest one ray of light should penetrate to the motley demi-civilized popula.tion over which it has so long hung like a hump, invoked its crowned brothers of Christendom to form a general political police, yclept a holy alliance, tp protect its Hun garian Boors, and savage Croats, from the infection of Italian Carbonari, and German Burchen-illuminati. From France, regenerated France, poured a torrent of light, which it was of vital and immediate necessity to extinguish, and for this end the conspirators appealed to the craft of Rome, and the known aptitude of her mischievous Jesuits; while CASTLEREAGH, that Oli garch Minister of Constitutional England, fiercely resenting the clamour of Reform, and exasperated to behold the dangerous example of France aspiring to all the purity, prosperity, and strength of re presentative government, with an humbled Aristocracy— disseminated wealth—the rights of primogeniture abolished —unincumbered with debt, and consequently unop pressed with taxes;—all of which promised soon to tan talize England in turn with a picture of things, for which we are doomed to sigh in vain :—He, with the knaves of his faction, joined this collusion of immortal wickedness; and from that time—with the exception of CANN nq o's brief interruption—France has not breathed one instant free from a thousand combined attempts to lead her astray, and subvert her institutions. The simultaneous and determined opposition offered to the acknowledged tool of the confederaey, namely Vi LLELE, still exerting aneocult influence, and to the complacent POLIGN AC, is therefore no proof of wavering principle, but rather a testimony of firm and consistent adherence to the constitution. The French want no republic—no change of dynasty—the name of Bourbon is still dear : and, distinguishing between weakness and malice prepense, they can allow for the perplexity and indecision of a Prince distracted by pernicious councils, and so peculiarly situated with powerful and crafty allies. The people of France wish to preserve, and will preserve the institutions which have coat them so dear—they watch with a jealous eye every motion of the conspirators ; while sick and ashamed of their crouching submission to the enemy of nations, Spain, Portugal, and ill-fated Italy, may soon be destined to burst their fetters, and follow the march of France and Belgium :—and FRANCIS, FERDINAND, and MIGUEL, the conclave METTERNICH, WELLINGTON, and ABER ' DREW, after machinating against the happiness of man kind during fifteen years, may leave their memories to the execration of mankind, tortured as they close their eyes with this bitter reflection—TßEY HAVE PERSECUTED HUMANITY IN VAIN 1 The Duke of RICHMOND made out a strong case, and unless Ministers were prepared to chew that his data was false, which they did not attempt to do, they were bound to examine into the causes of that distress which is breaking down the peasantry and fast redacing agriculturists and manufacturers to bank ruptcy and pauperism. If Ministers have done all they can for the relief of the country, they might be expected to favour inquiry ; if they cannot control the evils that oppress its energies they have nothing to fear from the fullest investigation ; and the country would have borne up with increased patience under its heavy burdens, had they shown a disposition to lessen those burdens, were it in their power. But they are care ful to oppose a Committee of Inquiry, because they are afraid to encounter the truth. We wish they would at least be ooneistent in their dealings with the public and not let their legesdeotain,if:L o raust practice it, be so palpable.

Consols opened this morning at 921 1 for the Account being the same price they left of on Saturday, since which they have been done at 921 for the Account ; and for Money 921 1. The Foreign Market at present is in a stagnant state, and the prices must be the suns as on Saturday. We have but few arrivals this morning. The following is an extract of Bolivar's address to the Constitu dorsal Assembly at Bogota, which refutes the many reports of his aspiring to be aowned King of Colombia. " Legislators,—From this forward liberty will be indestructible in America, you see that the savage nature of this continent is of itself sufficient to repel the monarchical form of Government, inserts are favourable to independent here. We have no Grandees, either iris. tocratical or ecclesiastical. Our riches were inconsiderable, and now they are reduced in a still greater degree : though the church enjoys some influence, she is far from aspiring to dominion, being satisfied with her own preservation without such supports. Tyrants never remain permanent; and if ambiti. ous men should engage in raising empires for themselves, the fate of Dessalines, Christophe, and Iturbide, will warn them what they have to expect: no power finds greater difficulty to maintain itself than that race. Buonaparte, who vanquished so many armies, could not succeed in overcoming this rule, which is stronger than empires; and if the great Napoleon was made to maintain himself against the league of Republicans' and' Mist°. oats who may hope to find Monarchs in America, in a soil warmed and illuminated by the bright flames of liberty, in a soil which consumes the materials used for erecting these legal platforms, no legislators fear any pretenders or aspirants to Crowns ?" HALF.PAST ONE. We have no animation in the Funds. In the early part of the morning the jobbers turned out a few Console which they had pur. chased on Saturday, for the purpose of creating some business. Consols have been done at, during the morning, on I and 921 for the Account, at tpresent they are 92j ; and for hloney 924, with a dull market. We have a late arrival from Jamaica by a merchant ship. The Jamaica packet sailed the Bth of July. No papers have come to hand. The accounts from the country are favourable. Numbers of persons are obtaining employment. The Foreign Market is as dull as that of the British ; Greek has improved i per cent. The intelligence from the French ports this morning continues to speak of the great activity prevailing there to fit out the expedition against Algiers. It will be ready for sea by the end of the next month. The demand for vessels as transports had caused such a scarcity, that freights have undergone a very considerable ad vance; so ruinous indeed that the merchants have re frained from shipping in consequence. This was par ticularly the case with oils, the manufacture of which had been suspended. The Sardinian vessels had, by permission of the King of Sardinia, been allowed to charter themselves as transports to the French Government. NOTICES OF MOTIONS. Mr. P.

The state of the weather in the West Highlands has been very stormy for sometime past, and cultivation generally is considerably behind. Owing to the excessive rain during ten days past, the Caledonian canal and the locks and rivers adjacent have been so overflowed that navigation on the fonner was stopped seve ral days; the water, at different places, during that period being from six to eight inches above the locks. An overflow to a similar extent has been witnessed only on one former occasion since the opening of the canal. From Vienna it is stated that the official announcement of the independence of Greece, and of the nomination of the Prince of SAXE CODOURO to the throne of that country, had a favourable effect on state paper in that capital. We learn by a private letter of the 20th inst. from Bayonne, that the Dordogne sloop of war, which was on the point of sailing from that port for the African expedition, has received orders to suspend her departure, and is now stationed before the arsenal. It is even rumoured that the troops on board are to disem bark, and that she is to be dismantled. DREADFUL ACCIDENT.-011 Saturday afternoon, as a young gentleman was driving a spirited horse in Coventry-street, Haymarket, on making a sudden turn into Rupert-street, one of the wheels °lbis gig came In contact with a carriage drawn by one horse; and the concussion was so violent, that the shafts of the gig broke, his horse escaped from the traces, the vehicle upset, and the gentlemen was thrown on his bead on the pavement with such vio 1-ma., that be was taken up in a state of insensibility, and bleeding profusely.
