Consols opened this morning at 783 for the Account, and 781 for Money, and have been done as low as 781 for the Account, and are up to this hour 78; 3. The above fluetuation, it is supposed, was owing to the great disappointment felt in the City, particularly by the Monied Inte rot% in consequence of no question having been put to Ministers Lit tight concerning the progress of the nezociation at Con t.uttinople, as it is supposed a number of persons bought Con ye,terday afternoon under the impression that something would h..vc occurred in the House on the above subject ; but feeling t hemselves greatly disappointed, they sold again this morn ing to make up their Account.

The French Papers of Monday leave the question of peace or war between Russia and Turkey precisely vhete it stood a fortnight age; that is to say, there a:e 1:o decisive facts, but some collateral information is certainly in favour of war. The following are extracts : I' LISBON, MARCH 28. 4 . . Divan, that in ease ea new war with auietendotn, a plan diould be put in execution, which was already under' consideration during the vow of SW Porte with Austria and Russia, in the reigns of Joseph sad *Catherine, but the esecition of which was then hindered by the victory of Sawarrow and Prince 'Coburg. Fitment Fuuna.—April is, five per Cent. Consols opened at 86f. 50c. closed at 86f lloc. A Spanish Mail, with Madrid Papers to the sth instant, has reached us. The following are the only articles of interest they contain: MADRID, APRIL 4. An express has been received to-day from Pam peluaa, bringing extremely agreeable information, l which fully confutes the fatal predictions and the au dacious and gratuitous inculpations which attempted " to raise a doubt of the patriotism of the people of Pampeluna." The Decree of the Cortes for the dis arming of the voluntary Militia had been carried into effect, by the prudent conduct of the Political Chief and the other Authorities, with the greatest or der and without any opposition whatever. The in quiry into the disturbances of the 19th is proceeding with activity. We have received from America many printed do cuments and private letters, which give an idea of the state of that country. Ambitious men resolved, at all events to proclaim independence, without con sidering whether they bad all the necessary elements to constitute a nation. Many well-disposed persons were led away by vain theories, and by the flattering prospects held out by those who placed themselves at the head of the Revolution. Others, not satisfied with the new system established by the Spanish Constitu tion, lent themselves to aid, to a certain point, the plans of those who proclaimed independence, think ing they could stop when they pleased, and thus re cover the usurpations and privileges of which they were deprived by the new laws promulgated in the Peninsula. These causes have concurred to effect the Revolu tion in the different parts of America, but especially in Mexico. Now, that the promoters cf these dis turbances have attained their first object, that they have set in motion all the passions, each endeavours to advance his own pretensions, to realise his hopes, to gratify his resentments, and to effect his plans, by destroying the party opposed to him. Such is the state of the Kingdom of Mexico. This forenoon we received a Lisbon Mail, bringing Papers to the SOth ult. The following are extracts:— 4 To the Provisional Junta of Government at Pernambuco. " There having been laid before the King the Note (A) of Mr. E. Ward, Charge d'Affaires of his Britannic Majesty in this Court, of the Ist inst. accompanied by the letter (B) of the Consul-General of the same nation at Brazil, of the 28th Fe bruary last, relating to the revision of the Tariff of Customs in that kingdom for the valuation of the British manufactures, and the order (D) of the Sovereign Congress in this respect : his Majesty orders, by the Secretary of State for the affairs of Fi nance, that the Provisional Junta of the Province of Pernam buco shall immediately issue the necessary orders to the Director of the Customs, and other competent authorities, to proceed, without loss of rime, to the reform of the said Tariff, conform ably to the 13th article of the Treaty of Commerce concluded between this Crown and his Britannic Majesty, and to transmit the result, through the Secretary of the same department, to be presented to the Sovereign Congress. " Given at the Palace of Queluz, this 11th of March, 1822. (Signed) " JOSE IGNACIO DA COSTA." A similar order has been addressed to the Provisional Juntas of the Provinces of Rio de Janeiro, Maranham, Para, Paraiba, St. Paulo, Ceala, lii, Grande de St. Pedro do Sul, Santa Ca tharina, and Alagoas. An official report has been received from the Captain of his Majesty's frigate La Perola, announcing that he has been so for tunate as to capture the Buenos Ayres corvette the Ikroine. Besides the above circular to the Junta of Brazil, another has been addressed to them, reprobating the arbitrary proceedings, which have been complained of by the British Government, of exacting, besides the regular duties on British manufactures, an additional and arbitrary sum, to cover the increase of the duty which may arise from the new or future Tariff; a prastice highly blameable, and contrary to the Treaties happily subsisting between the two nations. Last night, at twenty-five minutes past eight o'clock, his MAJESTY arrived at his Palace in Pall-Mall, from Brighton. The KING travelled with his own horses from Sutton. All the personages who attend the ensuing Levee and Drawing Room, and future Courts, must be . pre sented to the KING on his Coronation, except they ' were present at the Levee and Drawing Room a few days after the Coronation, or the last Levee. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER came to town yesterday morning, from Blackheath. The Right' Hon. Gentleman gives a grand dinner to a numerous party next Tuesday, it being the celebration of the KING'S Birth-day. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY entertains the foreign Ambassadors and Ministers on that day. Most of the Ministers and Officers of State will also have parties. TliE EVENINC; STAR. PARIS, APRIL 15. The German Diet will resume its Sittings on the 18th inst. It is still believed that an important communication will be made to that Assembly in the name of Austria, relative to the present situation of Turkey. A report is circulated, that an arrangement is in progress be tween Russia and Austria, according to which the former Power is to occupy Moldavia and Wallachia, while Bosnia will be OCCD. pied by the latter. They mutually guarantee the independence of Greece, which will form a particular State. The Constifutionnel contains a long article, dated Hambnrgh, April 6, respecting the negociations said to be on foot between England and Denmark, for the exchange of all the islands of Den mark, being Sealand, Funen, Stc. and the Peninsula of Jutland, as far as the river Eider, against the Kingdom of Hanover. England would take upon itself all Danish debts. The desire of commanding the entrance of the Baltic, and thus having an ef fectual check on the commerce of Russia; and, secondly, the possibility of the separation of the Crown ofsHanover from that of England, in case the latter should devolve to a female, are stated as the motives of England for seeking this exchange. FRANKFORT, APRIL 10. We learn from the frontiers of Russia that gold is become ex tremely vane at St. Petersburgh. This circumstance is coast skred a proof that hostilities are on the eve of being commenced. The Gazette of ilen:ce persists in observing the most rigid si lence respecting the events of the Morea ; but a letter from that Qty states, that the 'Turkish fleet, after landing ten thousand men at Modon, had returned to the Dardanelles. It is affirmed that the King of England and the Archduchess Maria Ouches of Parma, are expected at Vienna to wards the ei.d of the r.crah of May, this year. News had beer received at Odessa that the Turkish Govern ment is fortifying Constantinople. Above 10,C00 men are ent ph.yed on these works, which are thrown up in great haste. The most contradictory accounts are circulated respecting the Greek and Turkish fleets. Same letters still continue to affirm that there lus been a naval action in which the Greeks were victors. Others assert that nothing is yet Zecided ; lastly, there arc letters which pretend that the Turkish fleet has returned to t!, Archipelago. We expect, with itapatieuce, the news from S. Petersburgh. It is supposed that the Manifesto of Russia w.ll soon appear. VIENNA, APRIL 4. We are still in the same uncertainty respecting the affairs of T:;key. The following are curious details of the Grand Sitting of the Divan, in which the question was decided. The question was, to know whether the demands of Russia were admissible or not, after that Power had declared that the unreserved acceptance of its demands would alone be satisfac tory ? The Sultan heard the deliberations in this important sit ting, concealed behind the curtain of a window opening from his Cabinet into the Council-room. All the great men and Viziers of the Porte then at Constantinople were invited to attend; a t:rnilar invitation was sent to the Chiefs of the Janissaries and of the Ulernas. It was reasonably inferred that the question of peace or war was to be decided.—(liere follow:, a list of nuny of the great Officers of State, &c. who were present.) Te Mufti and the Chiefs of the Ulcrnas having declared that several of the demands of the Muscovites were contrary to the principles of Islamism, and to the dignity of Religion, the Grand Vizier, as President of the Divan, proposed the fol lo-ving question : " Is it just and conformable to the principles of the holy Fran to raise the standard of the Great Prophet, and to call arms the Mussulnien of the East and of the West, when de ::ands like these indicated are addressed to the Prince of the l':•ithful?" On which the Mufti said, " Yes, it is just." These words were immediately repeated by all the Dimas. The fol lowing question was next proposed—A Is it just and wise to withdraw the .Mussulinen from the principalities of Moldavia Wallachia,while the Muscovites have assembled on the fron ..ters a numerous corp4,which they will ikot dissolve?" To which la those present answered unanimously, " ; that would not be just, it sveoild not be sv,se." The following questions were then discussed :—" Can the ad -71 . :nistrat inn of the two frontier provinces be Intrusted in future, vs it has hitherto been, either to the perfidious and traitorous Creeks or to Boyars ?"—Thse answer was unanimously, " No, thz.t is impossibk."—" Can we restore to the rebellious Rajas all their dean-lies and their privileges so long as they obstinately persist in then disobedience to the Sublime Porte?' " Nu, that cannot 'he."—The Stiltan approved all these decisions, and gave orders to the Gland Vizier to coos,: his intention to be notified by the Reis Effendi to the foreign Ambassadors, and to explain to them at the same time, the reasons which had induced the Porte to take such a resolution. It is alSrtned, that besides this, it was also resolved in this FASHIONABLE ARRIVAL& Duke and Duchess of Northumberland, in St. James's-square.

We are sorry to learn, says The Edinburgh Evening Courant of Monday's date, that the practice of de stroying farming stock by wilful fire raising, which prevails in some parts of England, is said to have manifested itself in the neighbouring county, Had dington. The better education of Scotch peasantry, we would fondly hope, would secure us against out- rages. of this description. Friday evening a fire broke out in a cot-house at the Yellow Cragg, near Haddington, and before it could begot under, four cottages were quite consumed. Saturday sennight, a little past three o'clock, the roof of the thrashing machine at Monklaw, near Jed burgh, belonging to Mr. SHORTREED, was struck by lightning, and instantly took fire. The roof being thatched, was in a few minutes entirely in flames, and burned with great fury. The whole of the outer work of the thrashing-machine, and a small adjoining house, were entirely consumed. We learn, by private accounts from Ireland, that the strongest representations have been made by some of the most respectable and authoritative persons in the southern counties, to the Irish Government, with irrefragable proofs of the necessity of its interference ; that the case has been transmitted to this country, and that in Ireland the most sanguine hopes are en tertained of the result. ATROCIOUS MURDER.—We regret to mention a very cruel and barbarous murder, attended with cir cumstances of great audacity, that has taken place just on the bounds of the Counties of Tipperary and Kilkenny. A farmer, of the name of Morris, at Kil lentry, near Nine-mile-House, having become ob noxious to the public disturbers ; received a threatening notice some short time back, he having lately come to reside there; on Wednesday se'nnight a cow of his was driven into a bog, where she perished ; on Thursday morning he sent two servants, a male and female, to the bog—the male servant to take the skin off the cow, and the female to assist him ; but while the woman went for a pail of water, three ruffians came, and each of them discharged his arms at him, and lodged several balls or slugs in his body, and then went deliberately off. This occurred about twelve o'clock in the noon day ! No one dared to interfere, either for the prevention of this crime, or to follow in pursuit of the murderers. The sufferer was quite a youth, and had committed no offence even against the banditti, but that of doing his mas ter's business.—Clonmell Advertiser. It is said that fifty-two Proprietors of Country Newspapers have been fined in mitigated penalties of £lO each, for having insetted Advertisements of Fo reign Lotteries in their journals. Tug Lan Dias. Boar.—lt being known that Mrs. Bond, late of Hackney, who died possessed of immense riches, had at the time of her decease a .C5O, a £3O, and three iES notes about her which could not be found, and that Mary Wadsworth, the wife of a tin-plate worker, was employed to lay her out, she was yes -1 terday brought to Bow-street (ice, when she acknowledged she found three £5 notes sewed up in her flannel petticoat, which she conceived she was entitled to, as when the Lady who em ployed her on that occasion gave her the clothes, she told her she hoped she would find some money in them, which, if she did, would be her own. This the Lady denied, but Mrs. Wadsworth persisted in the truth of her stury.—The Magistrate said be . would not detain her, but advised her to search the stays, and if she found any property contained therein to bring it forward. Sir. Ashley, the landlord of the deceased, said she was possessed of .CnUO a year in Long Annuities, and £16,000 in other funds ; that her expenditure did sot amount to £lOO a-year ; and that she frequently said, ea the had no relations, the Kiss or the Go vernment should succeed to it all. PT , ! S !!" Tr 77 7 17 , Artga t lf AGAINST THE COUNTY RATES. DDLESEX SESSIONS--tHIS DA ' 1 The above interesting and very important subject was introduced this morning by Mr. ALLEY, in .an Appeal from the Parish of St. Mary-la-bonne against 'certain County Rates recently levied. The Learned Counsel bottomed his objection on the late defalcation of theirreasurer, and also on the , ground of the Act of Parliament of the 55th of the late King, cap. 51, which enacts, that previously to the making up of am County Rate, an advertisement should appear In at least two Public Newspapers, besides other notices given; neither had they power by the Act to impose any new rate, while the Treasurer held a surplus ca 'pable of meeting the expenses that might be required by the County: it also appeared that the late Treasurer bad inhis hands no less that:L*24,ooo, exclusive off7ooo which was not accounted for; the salary of treasurer was £5OO a-year, besides the advantage of being the depositary of such large sums of money which at all times enabled him to keep large balances in hand. Under these circumstances, the Learned Counsel con tended that the Act of Parliament had not been com plied with, and insisted that his clients, the appe'- lants on this occasion, should have access to all papers and books appertaining to the County Trea surer's Office, and that proper notices should be given before any new rate was made, and that the rate re- . tently imposed be quashed. The Chairmaa (F. CONST, Esq.) said, that in the present state of the County Treasurer's Office the rate could certainly not be supported.—lt was there fore quashed. i THE LEATHER TRADE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR. SIR—As yon were pleased to consider my state ment upon the beating of the Leather Tax deserving of a place in your Paper of Saturday last, and as some of the Public Prints have represented this Tax to bear very lightly upon a single pair of shoes, I send you estimates of its real bearing in this respect, derived from the same unquestionable authority as my for mer estimates—the evidence given bcfore . ihe Com mittees of the House of Commons upon this Tar. The weight of the rough leather on which the duty is paid of a pair of shoes worn by the agriculturist, is stated to he 41bs. which, at 3d. per lb. is 12d. The restrictions necessary to secure the collection of the tax are stated to cost the tanners more than the amount of the duty, which the Public must pay for, and which is a real loss of the property to the coun try, and makes the amount paid on account of the tax 24d. The tanners' profits for their extra capital and risk, at 10 per cent. are 2 1 ,4 d. within a very small fraction, making 26 1 / 2 d.; the curriers' profits upon 26 1 ,4 d. at the same rate, are more than 2 3 / 4 d. making 29 1 / B d. on which the shoemakers cannot lay less than 10 per cent. more, which is rather more than 2 N,d. making 2s. Bd. for one pair of shoes worn by the agriculturists. If it is calculated how many labourers are em ployed in a farm, and that the farmers and labourers have wives and children, that leather is considered a necessary of life, and the various ways in which the agriculturists consume leather, it will be found that the above calculation is consistent with my former one, and that the bearings of this tax upon a farm. are much heavier than the late Agricultural Horse Tax, or than any tax which pays more than twice as much to the Revenue.—(See pages 26, 39, 47, 52, and 120, in Report of 1816, and 138 in Report of 1818). Be it remembered, though. I stated the amount of this tax paid to Government to be £600,000, that I did not deduct the drawbacks allowed upon the ex portation, or the Government expenses for collecting it, which probably would leave to the Revenue but little more than £500,000; for which, in your Paper of Saturday, I shewed the Public pay £1,597,200. Tire revenue upon this tax, instead of increasing with the population of the country, ever since the additional tax has gradually decreased, as shewn by the official accounts up to the sth of this month ; and, of course: this great staple manufacture, in its various branches, continues to decline. As to the observation, that if the Leather Tax were repealed, the tradesmen would not immediately lower their prices, I shall only reply, that it appears, from the evidence before-mentioned, the taking off the restrictions alone, would cause large quantities of leather to be immediately brought to marker, which must lower the price; and that the circum stance of the loss of profit, upon the account of the tax and restrictions, it is well known prevents the dif ferent branches of the leather trade from being more urgent for the repeal of the tax. The weight of rough leather of a pair of gentleman's walking shoes, in the same evidence, is stated to be I%lb. and the duty upon the same to Government is 5 Ad. which, with the amount of the restrictions and the tradesmens' profits, calculated as the before-men tioned article, amounts to 14d. being less than half the amount paid by the agriculturist. It is a well-known fact, that an additional tax upon leather was often suggested to Mr. Pitt, who as otten rejected it as being most impolitic; and Lord Stan hope, in the House of Lords, from its great pressure upon the poor, denominated this tax—" The Poll Tax doubly distilled."
