Ti l E EVENING STAR. CP The THIRD A Hick on LordWYNFOILD'S Fraudulent Debtors' Bill, will positively appear in this Paper on Monday. THE QUARTER'S REVENUF. The details of the Revenue will be made up on Tuesday next, but the following is a brief summary of the three lead ing branches, and which will be found to approach very near the amount that will appear in the official statement: Year 1830. Year 1831. Quarter ended sth April. Quarter ended sth April. Customs 3,518,000 . 3,658,000. The above shews an actual deficiency, for the quarter ended sth April, 1831, of £254,000; but the only astonish ment is, that the deficiency is so small, when we recollect the amount of .repealed imposts which have come into operation between the two periods, viz. One Quarter's amount of Beer Duty (Excise) Ditto ditto Leather (Ditto) Ditto ditto, 3s. on Raw Sugar(Customs) Amounting in the whole to £795,000, which, if added to the sum of £8,078,0001. produces an increase of Revenue in - the quarter about to expire of £541,000. We have much satisfaction in to-day submitting to our readers, a private letter from an intelligent friend in Paris, giving a very rational view of the present policy of the French Government. We need make no comments on it ' . The German papers received this morning, afford us the following extracts, sheaving the precarious state of the Italian Patriots, in consequence of the Austrian intervention : VIENNA, MARCH 19. Reports have been received from General Baron Frimont, by which we learn that Parma was cccupied on the 13 h by the imperial troops. The brigade of Major-General Straboosky had moved from Piacenza for this purpose ; and the Commander in Chief bad ordered Colonel Baron d'Aspre to support the movementsof Major-General Straboosky, by ad vancing from Modena, by way of Reggio. Baron d'Aspre executed this movement with such promptness and decision, that he was already at the gates of Parma, at five o'clock in the morning of the 13th; and the appearance of his first patrol of Hussars having thrown the cowardly revolutionary Government into the greatest consternation, and caused the National Guard to disband itself, the Colonel took possession of the city without any resistance whatever ; and the brigade of General S:roboosky arrived in the course of the day. With respect to what took place in Parma, during the few last days before the entrance of the Imperial troops, we learn that already, on the 9th, the Provisional Government in that city gave public notice, that it had disso!ord itself. The greatest alarm and confusion pre vailed in the city ; the Members of the dissolved rebel Government attempted to take flight ; but the two carriages in which they rode were stopped by the populace, and brought back to the palace of the Govern. rnent, amidst cries of " Death to the traitors ! Death to the wretches ho abandon us in Eke moment of danger!" At the same time, some hundred young men, who thought themselves the most int. plicitted in consequence of the part they had taken in the revolution, had precipitately left the city, intending to take the road to Bologna. After some parleying, the Members of the Provisional Government, who were trembling for their lives, were released, on promising to resume their functions; and messengers were despatched after the young men, to per suade them to return to Parma. They were already six Italian miles from the city, and were at length prevailed upon to come back. On the 10th and 11th confusion and anarchy were at their height; the city gates were shut, but by no means for the purpose of defending it, but merely to make it more easy for the leaders of the revolution to collect all their horses for their flight.—Ausleian Observer, March 20. SWIT ZRULAN n, Alsacit 19.—The General-in-Chief, by a circular of the 6th inst. called on the Canton. speedily to organise the third con tingent ; that in to say. the first half of the Landwehr, conformably to the resolution lately adopted by the diet. Several Frenchmen of the Carlist party have lately remitted con. siderable sums to Geneva, announcing their intention of coming them selves to settle there. MUNICH, MARCH 21st..—According to the report made on the seventeenth, by Count d'Armansperg, the Minister of Fi. nance to the Chamber of Deputiesoespecting the Sinking Fund, the debts of the State will be diminished by five million, of fain, and the interest by half a million, between this time and the end of the second financial period. A certain number of men of every regiment, now absent on leave, are called to their colours for the usual exercise. The new recruits are to be immediately exercised. The ordinary levy, to complete the army In 1831, calculated at a sixth of the actual establishment, Is 11,912 men.--.roantal de Prank fere, Merck 26. The public feelings are held in suspense by four questions : _ 1. Will the Russians prevail in Poland ?--a question greatly dependent on the next military movements. 2. Will the public-spirited Belgic President and Con gress, yield to the dictation of the protocols ?—greatly de pendent on the impenetrable equivocations of the French Ministers. 3. Have the Austrians been guilty of military interven tion, in the independent Papal States ?.—rendered uncertain by differing statements, official in confirmation, and direct from Bologna in contradiction. 4. Will the French government, if the Austrians have en tered Bologna, regard it as a declaration of war, and repel force by force ? All these points must be brought to an issue in the com ing week ; and every arrival from the Continent will be important :—not important, however, as affecting Britain ; but to that cosmopolite feeling, which embraces the welfare of the whole human race; for we believe our Ministers are too wise, and have too much respect for public opinion, to mingle British interests with such questions. They have been ensnared by Dutch and Belgic mediation : but we are persuaded the honour of England will never be compromised, by an attempt to coerce the patriotic Belgians into submis sion, to terms in what they appeared only as friendly arbi trators. England has enough upon its hands, in adjusting the great question of Reform—in regulating its East and West India Interests—in correcting the vicious policy of past Adminis trations—in revising its Monetary System and its Legal Practice— and in restoring such a balance of pro perty, as shall enable virtuous industry to live and thrive. With such objects before them, and under a conviction that the meddling of England in continental affairs, would rather inflame than conciliate, it may be hoped that our Ministers will inflexibly persevere in a policy, which so far has given general satisfaction. It has often been remarked, what vast evils have bee n produced—what disputes—what sanguinary wars—have been occasioned, from the error of not calling things by their proper names ; and never was there, perhaps, a more signal instance of this fertile source of human misery, than what has occurred, on the subject which now engrosses the atten tion of the British nation. We do not hesitate to say, that had not the great rule of always designating a thing by its appropriate denomination been departed from, the corruptions of the boroughmongering system, would not have had existence ; or, if they had, would not have existed long, to outrage the common sense of a naturally sober-minded people. The particular point in mistaken nomenclature , which has suggested this remark, is the improper practice,' which to the present moment prevails, of denominating cer tain Members of Parliament representatives for certain places, when they are really representatives for certain per sons ; or, if something like an hibernianism may be allowed, representatives sometimes for themselves ! By misapplying the proper names of certain boroughs, as the places represented, even although it might be known that these places were without any inhabitants, a kind of fictitious plausible appearance of representation has been ostensibly maintained, sufficient to conceal the delusion from the un- observant, and baffle, by impudent assertion, the exposure of the acute. Let us, for instance, suppose, that it had been the practice to designate the members for the well-known rotten Boroughs, members for the individuals who really nominated them to their seats, is it probable that so flag rant an impropriety, day by day repeated, and palpably exposed to the popular eye, could have existed so long ? Thus, were one of the present Honourable Members, who are incorrectly named Representatives of Old Sarum, addressed as the Honourable Representative for him self and brother, no delusion could exist; or if the repre sentative for Heytesbury could be designated the representa tive for the hon. Member's brother, could it for a moment be supposed, that he as such, could be considered properly representative of the people. In the same way, the Honourable Members for Westbury should have been denominated the Honourable Representatives for Sir MA NASSAII MASSEH LOPEZ, and thus the value of their votes be made perfectly evident ; and probably his Grace the Duke of BUCKINGHAM, would not have con tinued, until this time of day, ignorant that seats in Par liament were bought and sold. We hardly expect this useful, plain speaking, to become general ; but were it so, we are sure much mischief would be prevented. A requisition signed by one hundred public men, with the Duke of LEINSTER, Lord CLow cu a al-, and the bene volent Marquis of SLIGO at its head, has been presented to the LORD MA von of Dublin, soliciting a public meeting in behalf of the distressed districts of MAYO. His Lordship has fixed on Tuesday the sth for the meeting ; and we hope that the benevolence, which -is so striking a feature in she! character of Irishmen, will be displayed on the occasion. We hope also that the resolutions will distinctly explain to the satisfaction of the public, how it happens, that in the most fertile country in the world, which contains twenty acres of productive land to every family, these periodical famines occur ? No sophistry can conceal, that some policy alien to the welfare of the population, is either criminally, or ignorantly, or selfishly, allowed to intervene, between the abundance of the soil and the natural wants of the people. We conjure the meeting to determine, and proclaim, this cause whatever it be ; and then, besides reliev ing the present distresses, take effectual means for prevent ing the recurrence of such a disgrace on the rank, property, good-sense, and government of the country. Mayo may want the luxuries and ornaments of civilization, without reproach to any; but that thousands of families should be forced into a situation, in which they have but a single chance of providing themselves with the commonest necessary of life, implies great culpability, or want of wisdom in those, whose power and duty it is to take care, that the blessings of Providence are distributed with equality, among all the children of the common native soil. CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. Consols have been fluctuating in the course of the morn ing, from 771 to 771, for the account; at present they are 771 The speculators are anxiously waiting for the re sult of the answer of the Emperor of Austria to the French Government, as well as a confirmation of their taking Bologna. • Z.- PRI VATIC LETTER. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. PARIS, RUE ST. Hoagies, MARCH 30. We are all alive owing to Government having signified a determination to repel the aggressions of the Austrians. It appears that the legitimates have been hoping that France would have become the aggressor, but in spite of the wishes of every body, this Government provoked nothing, while it firmly prepared for war, if the legitimates would have it so. Thanks to Marshal Soult, we now have half a million of men of all arms, anxious to take the field against the op pressors of France in 1815, with all the tnateriel calculated to assure success. Under the Bourbons, every thing had been studiously neglected ; and however impatient the people were, the Government could not second them till now. It was necessary to levy men, to train them, and equip them ; and it should be remembered, that it is yet but eight months since the new Government has been organized. Several months were necessarily wasted in discussions, and in an internal war of parties ; and whatever might be the disposition of the Government, it was not in a condition to assist either the Belgians or the Italians, or the Spaniards, till the present moment. Besides, a war without palpable cause would have have been an aggression, and would have borne the ill name of revolutionary ; and now it has been provoked by the conduct of the Austrians in Italy. If the Emperor chose to sustain his daughter, our late Empress, in Parma, he had neither right nur ,easou for entering Bologna. As far as the French people are parties in the war, the confederates in the last war are alone to blame. They de graded France at the Congress, and the pride of every Frenchman takes fire whenever the years 1814 and 1815 are referred to. If the allies bad been more just and mode rate, France would not feel as one man in the determination to recover its wounded honour. At present they are so unanimous on this subject, that the declaration of war against Austria, which is hourly expected to appear, will be received with transports ; and no one would dare, especially a fo reigner, to doubt of our complete success. Clause), Girard, Imnarque, Drouet, &c. &c. all Napo leon's Generals, inspire the greatest confidence , and the songs and dramatic pieces which celebrate the achievements of the Emperor, and of these men, are universally popular. The affair in Poland is considered as a God-send, for it appears by undoubted documents, that if the Poles had not risen just at that time, we should have bad the Cossacks in Belgium and France before we were prepared to receive them. The Polish army, directed and assisted by Excel mans, is now considered as the van-guard of the French army ; and its successes are as much felt in France as though its battalions were all Frenchmen. While England is under a liberal administration, and the war is not a war of conquest, no interference of England is apprehended, because none will be provoked ; and without English subsidies to her enemies, France is qualified to re store both Italy and Poland. The idea here is to drive the Austrians beyond the mountains of Friuli, and the Russians beyond the Niemen ; and then to protect the Italians and Poles in establishing free Governments to their own taste. There are some anxieties about the finances, the Bour bons having left a debt of seven millions sterling; and the confusion of last year, and the preparations having caused deficits of four millions, and expenses of other four millions; but this is little regarded by people who reckon that the expenses of foreign war will be borne by the foreigners among whom they march as friends. The politics of the STAR are much relished in all our reading rooms ; and Frenchmen employ so much time in translating, that it is no easy matter for an Englishman to obtain sight of one. P.S. We have just learnt that the brave Belgians have succeeded in destroying a new Orange plot origanized in London ! ......- 4 1 0 -...ANCE. FR It is in vain that the President of the Council has ex hausted all the resources of the art of oratory,—it is in vain that he sprinkled his speech with assurances of peace, and hopes for the future. The melancholy truth has not failed to strike even the dullest minds. The possibility of war and the deplorable state of our finances have become evident to every body, and the fundholders have hastened to bring their stock to market, and have caused a further decline in all the species of stock to a very great and alarming extent.— ] Gazette. Two months ago, we had only a very little budget of l 1,200 and some odd millions, but it grows visibly, like a hopeful child. A fortnight ago, at the farthest, it was already at 1,300,000,000. To-day, at four o'clock, M. Humann had measured it at 1,434,635,000 francs; and at a quarter past four M. Casimir Perier informed us that it would to-morrow reach to 1,534,635,000 francs.—La Tribune. CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES. SITTING Or MARCH 30. The House proceeded to the continuation of the discussion on the association. M. Bernard attacked a proposition of M. Dupla, as to that moods. don and all othas being considered as public assemblies, -and having the law now treated upon, relative to mobs, applied likewise to associations. He considered the association to which he belonged as a meritorious one. M. Dupin (Aino then answercd the accusation laid against him.— He had not proposed that the association should be considered a turbu lent one, but only that it was necessary to take all the precautions they could against such et ils. M. C. Perrier ascended the tribune to acquaint the Chamber and the nation with the view in which the Government considered these ease elation, so that those who were proposed to belong to them might know first what they were likely to subject themselves to. He then showed that evil might arise from those associations, in reading an article made by the association under the name of " Aide-tai, le Cid taideras" and the Government would consider all political associations as mistrustful of their honour and actions.— He confuted some interpretations of General Lafayette rela- 1 d ee to the 100,000,000 that had been demanded by the Go vernment. He said that that Hon. Deputy was mistaken ; that the 100,000,000 were by no means connected with the affairs of Poland, they were merely as a measure of precaution. And that now, relative to the ow n o f Italy , the French Government Wan making negotiations w hi c h they hoped would be aut.cessful, and equally satisfactory to both the countries concerned. M. SALVERTZ spoke in defence of a personal attack of the Dieters. M. ODILLOW BAIROT defended the sesoetadon. tiERMANY. MARCH 29.—An engagement took place on the 23d inst. about four in the morning, between the frontier guards of the French Rhine and the Baden guards, in consequence of the violation of territory by the latter, in their pursuit of som e deserters. Two of our men were killed and five wounded, amongst whom were the Lieutenant and the Serjeant. Tin. Badois had five killed and seven wounded. A battalion of infantry and two batteries of artillery are forming a n ~„_ campment on the banks of the Rhine. SWITZERLAND. Austria has at length recognized the neutrality of S%; i t . zerland, and the acknowledgment by Russia and Prii3i.t will immediately follow. It is known that the Austrian Cabinet in its diplomatic note gives the formal assuriu.c e that it will strictly respect our neutrality, and will not in. terfere in any manner in the affairs of the cantons. This power would not even require, as has been reported, the con dition that Switzerland shall every where line its frontiv N with troops. ITALY. We extract the following from the Precurseur of Lvol:, : The news of the occupation of Bologna by the Austrians iv?. given as having been communicated from the Embassy a t Turin ; and we received the account from persons whom v supposed perfectly instructed on the subject. However, the number of the Precurseur of Bologna, of the 19th of thii month, the eve of the day on which the Imperial trooi•s wer., to have entered that city, does not contain a single tett tence to indicate so immediate an event. There is nothing said of a movement on the part of the Austrian troops ; i t merely refers to an unimportant attack made by the Bolog nese militia against the town of Rietti, in the possession o: the Papal troops. Seven hundred refugees from Ferrara have been incorporated with Bolognese militia. The same Journal states that the eldest son of Louis Bonaparte died at Forli on the 16th of March, universally regretted by the inhabitants of Italy. SPAIN. The following article appears in the unofficial part of thu Gazette ; " MADRID, MARCH 20.—1 n the course of last Saturday, a number of placards, bearing treasonable inscriptions of the same description as appeared on the morning of the 6th, were found scattered about in several of the streets.— This new mode of conspiracy against public order, is in itself a proof of the weakness of the rebels, who him. not even the courage to post up a pasquinade ; and is su far consolatory, inasmuch as it shows that they have a feeling of distrust, and want of confidence in themselves. In these placards an appeal is made to the Royalist volun teers to unite in the destruction of the throne and of re ligion ; and it is but fair to suppose that if the rebels call upon the royalists, it is because they have no confidence in their own strength. Thus, then, our conviction is further confirmed, though it is a painful reflection, that nothing but the cannon and the sword of the Royal armies will be able to demonstrate a truth which it has been the object of all our arguments to prove." SPIRIT OP THE JOURNALS. TlMEll.—Governing the Parliament by influence, instead of by ban and unblushing power, has grown up, e acknowledge, sines the revo. lution ; not, however, as the Duke of Wellington alleges, "according" to the principles of the revolution, but in spite of its provisions, and in utter violation of the true spirit and character of that vast regal Re. form. Faction grew up in the absence of that domineering power, the mainspring of which was broken with the downfall of the Stuarts. A borough representation, not responsible to the peo ple, constituted at once the mat e ffi cient force of faction, and the readiest market for ministerial bribery. Corruption then sue. needed to force, and formed a machinery of misgovernment which was too strong for any effort of the public will to destroy it ; until latterly that the people have become, eveu the poorest among them, as keen. sighted to detect and appreciate political abuses, as were the higher or ders half a century ago. This general intelligence of 20,000,000 of men, modified and directed by the press of the United Kingdom into an engine of universal and altogether irresistible co-operation—although, we repeat, it has cost above one hundred years to produce it—is the real extinguisher of the system of rotten boroughs. But it is quite ludicrous to talk of the borough system as if it had escaped the indignation of the educated classes of society until within the last few years. Fielding winds up the history of his villain Blifil, by representing him as having saved money enough to bargain with an honest attorney for the representation of a neighbour. ing borough. The satire of Fielding was never launched in vain :no man knew better what chord to touch, when he canvassed for public sympathy, with either Ids ridicule or his resentments. If we cast our eye to another quarter, and search for the recorded sentiments of the most celebrated statesmen of the 18th century on this question of cor i rupt votes, we shall find perhaps that they estimated somewhat differ t ently from the Duke of Wellington, the effect and value of his Grace's avowed system of governing by a Parliament of vassals. HEagi.D.--The opponents of reform may be classed under two beads —the interested and the timid—the Generalship of the former contist. ing in operating with effect upon the fears of the latter. Though we have no actual fears as to the !omit, we do not think it prudent to under. value either the numbers or the strength of these opponents, especially those of the former and much the larger class. It should be remem bered that the boroughmongers have what is termed " nine points of the law" in their favour—they have possession—and a possession which has been to duet so dear and so valuable, that no pos. sible effort, short of physical font, will be left untried to retain so fruitful a patrimony. We do not overrate their in fluence when we say that they have for ages governed the coun try—that the three Estates of the kingdom, its revenues and the patronage, have been under their control ; and they have helped them. selves, their connections,and dependents, with no sparing hand. Do not let the country then imagine that the opposition of these people to re. form, or that their numbers, can be insignificant. That their efforts will be unavailing, if met by the firm and unanimous voice of the real public, we do not at all doubt ; but the danger consists In the people at large relying too much on the justice of their cause, and leaving I the enemy time to sap and undermine the measure. It is the duty of every honest man in every grade of society to record hi sentiments upon the occasion. In fact, the whole country should. If possible, be classed and polled upon the occasion, that no shadow of doubt or pretence may remain for the enemies of the measure to raise the slightest question as to who or what they are themselves, or who and what they are to whom they are opposed. It is only by a strong, firm, and temperate display of their strength, and a determination to stand by the King and his Ministers on this important occasion, that the country can hope effectually to overcome the wiles of their oppo. 'Dents, and safely place the bark of the constitution in that harbour from Iwhich it has been, by the base arts of the boroughmongers, so long cut adrift. POST.—The right of Representation is taken away altogether by this nefarious Bill from Boroughs having a population below 2,000, and diminished by one half in those where the population is between 2,000 and 4,000. This is one of the pretended principles of the Bill. Now. in applying this principle, had it been intended to apply it honestly, it Is obvious that the population of the parish in which the borough is situated, or the number of the people in the immediate neigh bourhood, would have uniformly been taken into account, or uniformly excluded. This, however, did not suit the Whip. They have therefore now adopted one of these systems and now the other, with constant reference to the predominance of Whig influence in all future elections. This unprincipled juggle has been practised, not only in respect to the places to be disfranchised, but to the same extent, that is in every case in which it was possible, in respect also to the places upon which the right of representation was to have been con ferred. The counties and districts in which are situated the estates of the great Whig landowners have invariably assigned to them a Wirer proportion of the representation, than that to which their population or iproperty, the two pretended bases of the Bill, would, fairly have entitled them to. The Counties and dis tricts in which the great Tory landowners preponderate ale inva riably deprived of their just share of the representation. The whole affair patients, in short, one grand scheme of trickery and delusion, the most contemptible and revolting. They Intended, we believe, to Terri lutionize no further than wst necessary to place, in all future time, the Throne and the Legislature under the feet of a Whig 0 - baL But in order to have a chance of success in this their Mir project, It was necessary to delude and excite the Democracy by such a boom as might seem foe the moment worth the acceptance of those leaders of the mob whose real and final aim Is the subversion of every existing institution. The Whigs knew the ease to be one which did not admit of chaffering. They felt that they must at once affer terms to the mob leaden, which the latter would be sure not to reject. They have done so, and have thus very considerably overshot their mark.
