We this day present the Returns of the Year's and Quarters' Revenue, ending on the sth instant, as compared with the corresponding periods of last year. In looking at the details, it will be seen, that although the Customs, the Stamps, Post Office, and bliscella neous, have increased during the year, yet that there has been a decrease in the Excise, Assessed Taxes, &c. (owing in some degree to Duties repealed), which makes the receipts of the year 1822 less than that of 1821 'by 008,711. The report of the proceedings in the Dublin Com mission Court will be read with much interest, as they present- much food for reflection. In one case, we find a man administering illegal oaths, and joining a Conspiracy, in order to put down the Protestant Religion ; while, in another, we find a Conspiracy (for such Mr. PLUNKETT boldly declares it) for the purpose of extinguishing the Roman Catholic Reli gion, by knocking out the brains of a Protestant LORD LIEUTRNANT. In the one case justice has been done, and the offending Catholic has been transported fat life; in the other case the more criminal Pro- Italtants have been acquitted. The Grand Jury, after deliberating two days, threw out the bill iharging tittlflen.Witkiv_elnObicrp *rka presented' a !Olin a- riot andanisdenwassoiur, agaiust two persoas t biow ing, no doubt (for we will not give thesn'the eredit of supposing that *it sins* - a mere Irish bull) that it requires inert - than ti r 6 persons to constitute a riot. We can well imagine the surprise of the Judge and the Attorney-General at such a decision on the part of a Grand Jury; and we rejoice that the latter still means to proceed against the parties. But what a wretched State must that.country be in, where-an at tempt was made on. the life of the First Magistrate, and he is without that :redress whirl' belongs to the • • meanest subject ! The evidence given at the Police Office and that adduced before the Grand Jury, on 'the subject of the late outrage, must bave differed strangely if there was not sufficient grounds for send ing the parties to trial. This morning we received a regular file of the United States Papers to the Bth instant. It is ex ' petted that Congress will seriously take up the sub ject of the Slave Trade with a view to its entire abolition. The latest accounts from Mexico represent the spirit of dissatisfaction as rapidly spreading. The Mexican Ambassador to the United States, Don Jo- MANOEL LoxzAoit, with his Secretary Don Toangs, had arrived in the British barque Maria in Hampton Roads. The accounts from the Brazils represent Pernam buco as in a very unsettled state. A battle bad en sued between the militia and the regular troops, at Oneida, in which the former were defeated, and some of their leaders taken prisoners. A letter from Monte Video states that General LEcon had placed himself at the head of an army of 4,000 men, and was determined to compel the Euro pean troops to embark for Lisbon. The Portuguese were inside the town,- and the Patriots had advanced 'to the walls - for the purpose of carrying this deter mination into effect. The new Emperor of BRAZIL is said to have sent an express to Lord Cocus.ont, requesting him to take the command of the Brazilian fleet. PlRATE&Captain CALDMILL, from Havannah, confirms the report received several days since of the capture of pirates by a British sloop of war. He states they had attacked the pirates near Matanzas, and taken about 30,the remainder were driven oa shore. In addition to the above., it it repotted that the TYSII had engaged the pirates and takess 29 prisoners: the British lost 12 killed, besides wounded ; the loss of dm primes was supposed .to he about +0 or 50.

The Fags Papers of Thursday and Friday contain little intelligence of intortance. The communica tions between Paris and Madrid are, as might be ex pected, very frequent. Thursday iast the Editor of I' Etoile, M. CARDO)I I and the Editor of the Journal du Commerce, M. Gomm, were tried before the' Court of Correctional Police, for ab article copied from the Spanish Paper called the Indicador. They were declared guilty, sentenced each to six months imprisonment, a fine of 500 francs, and to pay the expenses of the process. MM. ARNAULT, JAY, JUDY, and NORVINS, ap peared on Wednesday before M. de BELLEYNIE, Juge d'lnstruction, on an accusation of .outrages and of fences against the Government of the King, in several articles of the eighth volume of their Biographic des Cotemporains, pages 20, 29, and 209. M.BARTIIELEMY was also cited befArt e the Same Ma gistrate on a charge of the same nature againstthe King and Members of the Royal Family, in the 10th vol. of ' The Recueil de Pieces authentiques sur le Cavil de St. Flekne, forming the first part of the work of Dr. O'MEARA. The passages charged as libellous are those in which dots are used. These two indictments will be forthwith tried before the Tribunal of Cor reeiional Police. FUNDS AT PARIS, JAN. 5...-Five per Cents. opened at 88f. 40c. dosed at BSf. 30c. The Universal, of Madrid, of the 17th ultimo, has some notes on the article of the Journal des Debate of the Bth, in which the imprudence of an armed inter vention with Spain was so forcibly pointed out. The Spanish Journalist observes, that there is much truth mixed up with an equal quantity of error in the view which the French writer takes of the state of Spain. He agrees with the Journal des Debate, that materials for composing a House of Peers are not to be found in Spain. The supposition of anarchy in Madrid is repelled as a gross calumny ; and it is observed, " If in some provinces that anarchy which always accom panies civil War be experienced, it is the height of in famy to attribute that anarchy to .the Constitution when it is so evidently the workmanship of those per -sons who have by intrigue and bribery raised the • flame of rebellion and instigated disobedience to the laws. This is as absurd as it would be for a physi ' cian to pretend that he is alarmed at the height of his .pationt's fever, and yet give him medicines to heighten it." • .• Sir WILLIAM ilk*CounT, the British Envoy and Minister Plenipotentiary, has transmitted a note to cite Minister of Stack, informing bim that two squa drons had sailed from England, one for Puerto Rico, and the other fur Puerto Cabello, with the object of taking thes; ports into their temporary occupation, and in order to suppress the numberless piracies which were committed in these seas upon the British trade. There are those who believe that a secret treaty was agreed to by the late Ministers, ceding Cuba to Eng-, land, but that the present Ministry have refused tto sanction this treaty. The Duke or Iroatc returned to town on Sat4rd*7 , soon after four o'clock, from Brighton. Friday, SirJAMES MACKINTOSH was inducted into the office of Lord Rector of the University of Glas gow.

FlRL—Thirlestane Castle, in Berwickshire, one of the seats of the Earl of LAINDERDALt, was on Tuesday morning, about six o'clock, discovered to be on fire, which seems to have originated in a vent, and was carried from it to the roof, by a rafter communicat ing therewith. The alarm being instantly given, a number of the inhabitants of Lauder immediately re paired to the spot, and by their zeal and activity confined the fire to the wing of the building where it had originated, and also succeeded in saving most of the furniture. The exertions of those present were indeed( highly praiseworthy,. -To prevent the' fire from communicating with the body of the Castle, some of them built up, with wet turf, the doers con necting it with the wing on fire ; while others, by carrying water from a distance, and without the aid do fire engine, constantly pouring.itOpon the build -ing, tjsery:prevented the• Barnes. from spreading far ther,-and thus saved the greater part of the Castle from destruction* Only two servants were in the .Castle at the time, the, Earl's family being all at Dunbar..

Court et follows :--- 1, My Lords, as the Grand Jury hav e . posed of some bills ofhave.. great public interest, I Ih4 take the liberty . of troubling the (`court with a fee• observations. Tr' o sets of indictments have hem p° . ferred against five individuals. The first of those le. dictments went to charge those persons with has* entered into a conspiracy, the object of which w as i v cause a riot in the Theatre, in which the person el the King's Representative was outraged and inselted, The second was nor a riot and common misdemeaeoes s The Grand Jury have ignored the bills !Against all the persons charged on the I st indictment. On tl e 241.whicls is merely for the riot and misderneanirnr, they base found bills against Graham and one of the! land wid e ,. As to charging two individuals with being guilty of a riot, your Lordships know that this finding anasso sts in itself to felo de se, as it is quite impossible, in point of law, that two persons can be guilty of a riot. I shall not, therefore, proceed on those iiidictments; but had even the bills for a riot only been loom against all the parties, I would have then felt it to be my duty to adopt the line of conduct I am about to intimate in the presence of the Court. My L or d ; I trust that no person will suppose that I would aria gate to myself the privilege of censtriing an) body of men, The Grand Jury have disposed of die Bills, their conduct, my Lords, rests between thew core science and their GOD, they are accountable its :lick conduct to no human tribunal, and it is not to. me to arraign it. They have discharged their functions in the presence of their Gon, tinder the sanction oft solerasr oath, taken in the face of their country, and to that GOD alone are they accountable. But I have also a duty to perform ; I will, without anticipating the guilt of any individual, state solemnly, in the presence of this crowded audience, that iii ail my a perience, in all my readings, in all the annals of this unfortunate country, !.never did find a case se luny ' demonstrative of the,foulest conspiracy to riot; the the atrocity of the outrage is almost lost in the enoe. : mit) , of the motives and object of the desperate gang ' who conceived it. The object of this function mails beard the King's Government, to overawe his &pre sentative., and to overturn the laws of the country.... I will exercise the prerogative that the Law and she Constitution have given to my office; I will discharge , that duty honestly, and, with -the blessing of cros, fearlessly ; unintimidated by the faction who has j dared to insult and outrage the very person of the I King's Representative in Ireland, from the hostility they had taken up against the venerated Nobleman, -•, for his zeaL and firmness in .carryiug into effect his ' Sovereign's intentions towards Ireland, of allaying the dissensions and healing the w oun d s o f t hi s :11 f a * and unhappy country. The course of conduct that duty directs me to pursue, will be, in the csecutiers of the fiseeogative annexed to my office, so file u ea° informations against all the parties: and lime ,1 pledge myself, as the King's Attorney-General, is u.n.Court, and in the face of soy COADItri, honestly, .(esirlemilit i and 'speedily, to bring before the °WWI alfthe persons charged in those indictments." • A. powerful sensation was created throughout the Court by the eloquent, impressive, and energetic ad. dress of the Attorney-General; a murmur of appue .betion was heard arising, and ready to:burst forth it acclamation, but was suppressed by the Officer of the Court.—At the conclusion of the.day's proceedings, Mr. Ili:sneer Jotnesvote moved the Court, the Mr. James Forbes, who was in cintosly on the above named capital charge, should be discharged, on the ground that the capital indictment against him had been given up by the Law O ffi cers of the Crown, and the Grand Jury had ignored the Bill, as far as related to him, on the minor indictment. . Mr.PlOnalli followed on the same side. Mr. Justice Moofta observed, that upon the info 'nation which had been before it, facts were charged on oath against Mr. Forbes, of the deepest antp flaky, and although the. Grand Jury had ignored the bills which had been sent up, it did not follow that the Attorney-General might not yet proceed ea the capital charge; he had in mercy proceeded only ' for a riot, and conspiracy to riot; but on the hadinj which had taken place, and h a d exc i te d some. I surprise, he might, if he pleased, h ave recours e to I the other and graver charge. He had also expressed ' r his determination to proceed for the charge of coh• spiracy to riot, and of riot, by er officio infortnadoe• and under these circumstances the prisonericoula r be discharged without his consent, before the for discharge by proclamation had arrived. Ms fore, as the Attorney-General was not then in Court, the application should stand over until to-morrow, as well as similar applications on the behalf of the other 'prisoners. ' The prisoner Forbes's Counsel submitted that the Law Officers of the Crown were then ht Court, 10 Could (if they bad au additional charges) state theta as grounds for opposing the application. Mr. Justice MOORZ, in reply, informed Counsel, that the Law Officers of the Crown- (in the abstelfe of the Attorney-General) neireilook upon thein to decide matters of that importake, unless particularly authoriied to do so. If qualified to net, they find then an opportunity of declaring it:lnd 'the C6ll!t could, of course, have no objection 'to grant data plication ; but, from the evidence to support of lati indictment, the bills beink ignored-bid treated greiN astonishment—and, under the el it‘ititistititess 'udi 61 ' the Law Officers then present were iiifficirlsed to their consent to the prisoner's discheit4'ilte. . would not grant it. • i'"`"- - Js'' T '''' '' - Mr. HAMILTON made.* lifi'lepOlicist of Handwick and Grahain; iiiittheraitiftitite.'es the same objection applied to them ;licit they sh• f.d all serve notice on the Atte*t-Goiteiel•fm4til l siks row:—He also inquired, aiiiiiffolititor far-Blies : 6 * was in the• Court, if the preiinfiehiMatioW •• P • 11!i: r - .., a sufficient, notice ? • . ...• ' Mr. Justice.
