England.—England cannot have more than 300 millions of revenue ; she has, however, 1,500 millions, but 300 millions represent her actual wealth, and 1,200 millions the revenue of her monopoly ; whence it results, that when England is ever so little c r amped in her bcomm erce, the exchange becomes unfavour able to her ; she can no longer support herself, and she requires a paper.money. Paper money is a na tural and indispensable consequence of the situation of a nation which, like England, has created a facti tious revenue. England pays 600 millions o f in terest for .debt ; that is, twice her real and reasonable revenue. . France.—Frmice has 800 millions of revenue in time of peace. This is only 2-3ds of what she can raise in time of rar e By-additig thirty teatime: to her rates of imports, her revenue - is raised to 1,200 millions. This revenue is wholly derived from her own territory.--, She-has 501 millions of debt, that is to say, 1-16th of ' her ordinity: income. It is obvious from this, that &face has not and ought not ,to have a paper-money. France may be - considered as a rich furner, who finds evert thing on his farm. She has no need of corn merce, but as an agent for selling her productions. Germany, Italy. are open to her speculations ; and eves Englind is happy to receive, when she chooses to send, the surplus of her - produce. The bank dis counts twice as much as the cause de compte discount ed in 1780. It has 120 millions of notes in circula- Lion. These are true bank notes, convertible into specie at pleasure, and not forced. The coinage of France is the best in Europe. Money is there abun. dam, and the rate of interest is from 4 to 5 per cent. Her manufactures are in such a state of prosperity, that they supply not only her own consumption, but that of Italy and Cetmany. The manufactures of France never before prospered so much.

Civil authority has no right to restrain the conscience ; this is the principle ot the French Monarchy. No troops are necessary in the united countries. Piedmont, Tuscany, Genoa had not 1500 troops when the Emperor was at Vienna. There were only 1200 men in garrison at Paris. The conscription was levied, taxes were exactly paid, and every thing was tranquil. At no time has an armed force been employed since the close of the Revolution; and the Emperor promenades in the midst of the crowd which covers the carousel, or in the park of St. Cloud in his chariot and four, at slow pace, with the Empress, and a single page, and amidst 150,000 spectators surrounding his carriage, land blesaing the father of the country. Opinion is all-powerful in France, from the lowest cLiss to the highest ; all listen to reason, and march when the trumpet sounds. The conscription is regulated like the taxes; it is levied without commotion, without !disorder ; the Magistrates of the people preside over the wh , )le, there is is nothing of violence or tumult to be seen.

On the 31st of July, a battalion of the Vistula, which left this place for Saragossa, was attacked near a place called Thiebas, by 1500 or 1800 banditti, who were in ambush, either in the place itself or the heights which command it. The firing lasted some time, but the battalion of the Vistula sustained by a strong detachment of the 3d provisional regiment, seized ,upon the place, and dispersed the banditti in the mountains.

The English continue to fortify the coast of Sicily, fronting Calabria. The ground in front of the for tifications is stated by deserters to be undermined, and filled with combustibles.

Extract of a Letter from a Surgeon servin , in the British army in Sicily, to his f a th er i n Lei th , dated Mciazri, near Messina, July cz. a Yon must, before this time, have heard of the situation of this island. We look every mom* for a descent on the coast of the Faro of Messini, by Mun. r, King of Naples. He has assembled on the opposite coast of Calabria 40,000 men, and an ama . zing number of boats of every description, for the transportation of his troops. His army is encamped on the heights above the castle of Scylla, and his gun. boats and small craft anchored under cover of nume- rous heavy batteries, which constantly throw shot and shells into the English camp in Sicily. The narrowest part of the straits is scarcely two miles broad. Meaaz can be' plainly seen in front of his tent every morning, viewing our preparations to receive him. 'Sir Jona &rustier has a fine army encamped all along the straits, from Messina to what is called the Faro-point, a distance of 10 miles. Our batteries are very nume. rous, with many breast-works to protect the infantry, and studded, literally, with heavy cannon. These works have been raised in less than a month. Our gun-boats have had several engagements with those of the enemy, wherein the English have always been successful. Three actions took place in full view of both armies—the sight was noble, but very _galling to the French, to see their vessels carried off before their eyes. Yesterday morning, and last night, we made a general attack on their line of bo a ts, a nd did great mischief. We had not less than 14 mortar-boats with mortars of 10-inch calibre, and on the Faro-point two of 13i inches, which threw completely across, to their great annoyance. They, on their part, threw 421 b. shot into our camp, but only one man was kil- led. Two sloops of war ran in amongst the enemy's craft, and made terrible havoc. Four line.of-batlW ships, and some frigates and sloops, are moored within the Faro, ander the command of Rear-Admiral Mae. TIN. They are a great terror to King MURAT Not- : withstanding his vaunting, if he makes the attempt to land he will get a warm reception. The Court of Palermo will do nothing ; their kingdom is at stake, yet, wonderful to say, not a man has been sent to our aid. The people are much exasperated against their • pusilanimous and tyrannical Government, and wish themselves under the BritL.h protection and laws. Sir ions; STUART has concentrated his whole force at the Straits, and ours is the only regiment not actively employed. We arc left to g irrison this place, and have thrown ourselves into the citadel in c.dt of a siege. Every thing is ready for a vigorous defence, should the enemy effect a landing. The place is strong and will hold out a long time. Should it come to this, affairs will be bad indeed. Another month will decide the fate of Sicily. That MURAT will at- tempt it, not a doubt exists in any mind. He can do it no where but in the face of cannon ;—dreadful will be the conflict. We have the advantage of situation, he in numbers. We have only fifteen thousand,--he has forty thousand men. We are in no fear. The army is under arms all night, and they sleep all day. —Mt7iLaT embarks his army every night at sun-set, and di:embarks them in the morning. He has two regiments of cavalry, which lie declares he will swim over-.-this can easily be effected, provided his infan- try make good their landing. I have often seen horses swim across the Straits of Messina. We hear MURAT's army is getting sickly and discontented; he has hang many for expressiiie their sentiments too freely ; we can see with the naked eye the wretches hanging on the gibbets, at least 30 of them, (tour of them officers.) JULY 25.—" I am just informed, ai other attack has been made by our mortar-boats, and with such effect, that the enemy have moved their encampments farther off. Soraie of the enemy's boats have deserted to us, and some we have destroyed. A vast aumber of their men have been killed and wounded—on our side we had very little loss.
