It is exceedingly convenient, so far as statements on paper are concerned, to be thus able to place the same sum to either the debit or credit side of the account, as may best suit any temporary purpose. NVhen the corresponding Quarter's Revenue for 1819 was announced, there was not a word said about the receipt of the Malt Duty constituting a por tion of the amount which ought to be excluded as com pared with that received in the same Quarter in 1818. —Such shuffling salvos cannot, 'however, in any way alter the fact that there is a falling off in the general consumption of Exciseable articles. The Revenue de lived from the Excise articles for the January Quarter of 1820, is less than that for the corresponding Quarter of 1819 by1+:123.806, and thellevenue from Exciseable articles for the Quarter just expired, is less than that for the corresponding Quarter of 18'20, by £168,745. In half a year, therefore, there is a decrease in the Ex cise of £292,551; and the total decrease on the last January Quarter amounting to £309,329, and the de crease in the April Quarter t0E235,051, the whole Half Year's Revenue just ended has sunk below that oflB2o, by thesum of t .514,382; or, mother words, thelle venue is declining at more than the rate of a Million a year. ♦Ve do not state these facts with any pleasant feeling; but much the contrary : for they furnish an evidence of two great evils—that the Revenue is declining, and the People at the same time compelled to lessen their consumption of articles hitherto reckoned indispen sable to their comfort. But the real facts ought to be known, without any disguise whatever ; for, unleis our Ministers can make bare statements of figures pass for payment of some portion of the interest of out immense debt, they are of no beneficial use what ever. If they cannot do this, let them profit by the lessons which the state of the Revenue offer- them daily. The real question is not now, How the Reve nue is to be raised to meet the charges ? But, How can the charges be reduced so as to bring the expen diture within the Revenue? We have received to-day the Paris Papers of Wed nesday, from which we subjoin some interesting ex tracts. It appears that a struggle is still likely to take place in Piedmont, and that a Declaration affect ing that country, similar to the Declaration against Naples, is expected from the Sovereigns. There is a strong determination of military force in France , towards the frontier of Piedmont —not, however, from any dread of invasion—nor yet any intention to attack the Piedmontese, but to repress the insur rettionary .spirit which has already manifested itself in the direction of Lyons and Grenoble. The accounts from Frankfort state, that 93,000 Russians, Infantry, Cavalry, and Cossacks, stationed in Volhinia, had received orders to be in readiness to march, by the Etarratort's orders, at five days notice. PALMS, APRIL 4. Accounts from Naples, dated -the 25th ult. state that the Austrian Officers were surprised and struck at the reception they received in the Provinces. They state, that they were treated as deliverers, and that everywhere the principal Carbonari were denounced as the authors of all the misfortunes that afflicted the country. They add, that had they encouraged the spirit of vengeance which is so natural to the inha bitants of the country, they would have massacred all the Carbonari. At Salerno, the Deputy Mackiaroli, known for his revolutionary opinions, having endea voured to rouse the people, became the victim of his imprudence, and was killed by the populace. The Duke of Calabria was to depart on the 26th for the Castle of Caserta. His brother, Prince Leo pold, it is said, goes to Florence to the King. The arrival of the Grand Chamberlain of the Em- peror Alexander is the subject of much conversation is Paris. This personage has had, as we have already stated, an audience of the King, in which, it 'is said, he delivered to his Majesty a letter from his august Sovereign. The Prince of Carignano arrived at Marseilles, from Nice, on the 27th of March. Accounts from Genoa, posterior to those which we published yesterday, give reason to fear the factious may have proceeded to deplorable excesses against the Governor, Count des Geneys. It is at least cer tain that for six hours the furious multitude conti uued their cries of death ttudar the windows of their :..,. mew faithful Governor. At the moment when some de• voted friends succeeded in rescuing • him from the fatal destiny intended for him, the miscreants en tered the Palace, broke the glasses, destroyed the furniture, and pillaged it completely. Several journals have stated that the Austrian General, Count Niepperg, has been assassinated at Parma. We have •received letters from that tity, which make no mention of any such event—Gazelle de France. Private letters, state that 30,000 Austrian troops 10,000 of whom are cavalry) have arrived at Milan. " ROYAL ORDINANCE. "Lows, &c.—On the report of our Minis:er, Secretary of State. —Considering that several students of the faculty of law of Gre noble have constantly taken a part in all the troubles with which that town has been agitated at diferent periods, and that latterly great numbers of these students have composed part of the mobs which displayed the ensigns of rebellion; - " Considering also that the measures hitherto taken to prevent the repetition of such disorders have proved insufficient ; " On the view of the 38th article of the law of the 22d of Yen tas°, year 12, relative to the Schools of Law, " We have ordered and do order as follows : " ' Article I.—The faculty of law of Grenoble is suppressed.

" ' 4.—Our Illinicter Secretary- s of State, President of the Royal Council of Public Instruction, is charged with the execu tion of the present Ordinance. " (Signed) " Paris, April 2. " ' LOU IS.' " The Swiss regiment of Freeler, which was to march from Dijon to Lyons, received counter-orders on the 30th of March. The Staff of the Ist and 3d batta lions, and the section of artillery attached to this re g►ment, continue to form part of the garrison of Di jon : the 2d battalion remains at Chalons-sur-Saone. The 21st regiment of inflntry of the line, which was to have marched to Grenoble, has received a new destination, and is proceeding from Dijon to Valence. The Gazette Universelle of Lyons contains, under date of the 30th, a private letter from Genoa, which confirms the news we have already published, awl adds further particulars, viz. •, A deputation of young men, after having torn down all the Proclamations which had been posted, went to the Governor, but received no satisfactory answer from him. A great tumult then took place in the city. Several patriots and sentinels were dis armed. Discharges of fire-arms were heard from time to time; and nest day we learned that two sol diers had been wounded, and a citizen killed. " Towards night a pistol was fired at an artillery man, who was stationed with a lighted match beside two cannon loaded with grape shot, and posted on the arch of the Ponte Reale. The shot missed him; but the artilleryman, being alarmed, fired the piece' without reflecting that troops were in the adjoining guard-house. In consequence of this accident, three soldiers were killed and eight wounded. Next day, about noon, all the shop doors were shut. Every one was flying, when a Piedmontese Serjeant, turning to his Officer, called, Live the Constitution !' The OfiScer replied, that he wished for nothing better ; and immediately the whole detachment joined in the cry. The people united with these soldiers, and the whole proceeded to the Piazza di Banchi, where the Gover nor's Palace is situated. In an instant all the guards and all the troops exclaimed,' Live the Constitution!' The soldiers were then sent in different directions through the town, to manifest their joy, and with draw the people from the house of the Governor, be fore which they were assembled demanding his head. " Towards evening, it was thought advisable to bring the Archbishop and the National Guard to the spot : by this means the Governor was extricated, and conveyed safe and sound to the ducal palace. The brave General bon frequently made his body a ram• part for him. The Piedmontese and the Genoese em braced each other in the streets, with expressions of the sincerest friendship; and the National Guard mixed with the soldiers, who had their schakos on the ends of their bayonets. Joy was painted on every countenance. The Constitution was once more pro claimed, and the most perfect order succeeded." EXTRACT OF A PRIVATE LETTER. 4 PARIS, APRIL 4. C 4 If the reports disseminated, in the political cir cles here may be relied on, the Austrians, on their entry into Naples, offered to the Neapolitans a mixed Constitution, something resembling that of France, and, as an inducement for their acceptance of it, inti mated that refusal would be immediately followed by the advance of a Russian- Army also into their territory. The Neapolitans are said to have ac- Auiesced immediately in this proposition, and also, anxious to suspend the threatened march of the Rus sians, to have sent an express to head-quarters to de clare their obedience. They were inform", how ever, that it was too late; the Russians were on the march, and must proceed. N French Five per Cents. April 4,89. f. 5c." i FNMA, MARCH 24. Among the propositions which General Fardella was charged to make, one was, that the Austrians should halt; but this proposition was not listened to, and General Frimont received orders to continue his march on Naples. In the beginning of April, twenty-two. Austrian Regiments, under the command of Generals Witt genstein and Klabersbere, will arrive in Lombardy. let WIT , a±~=~'=~ The Russian army of Volhinia has received orders to march in five days. It consists of 80,000 infantry, 10,000 cavalry, 3,000 Cosiacks, and SOO cannon. The Commanders are Generals Saken and Jeine FROM THE DIARIO DI AOMI OE MARCH 21. TERRACINA, MARCH 19. The city of Fondi svai on the 18th of March occu pied by three companies of Austrian Chasseurs, and a piquet of Hussars. On the advance of this detach ment, the Neapolitans abandoned the strong positions of Fondi and Itri. The inhabitants of Fondi gave a very favourable reception to the Austrian troops, who observe, in the.places which they occupy, the most rigorous discipline. FROM THE MILAN GAZETTE OF MARCH 26. The following news is from Florence, dated the 9,3 d : Although the capture of Fondi and of Itri by Cap tain Fetzer, at the head of three companies of Chas seurs, is not in the Bulletin, it is notOe less authentic' The enemy did not defect this post better than the others. Major Curtis this morning presented to the King of the Two Sicilies a letter from the Hereditary Prince. A deputation from Aquila has also arrived at Florence this morning. At Naples everything is in the greatest confusion, and the Chiefs of the Party have resolved to embark. Some of the Daily Papers affect to laugh at the accounts respecting an insurrection in the lonian Islands, and the views entertained by the Cabinet of -St. Petersburgh . respecting Turkey. The prospect of a general war in Europe may, indeed, be very amusing to some people, who cannot for a moment allow themselves to contemplate the possible result of the miserable policy by which the Great Powers would delude mankind, while they are individually plotting secretly how they may overreach each other in the division of the general plunder. But the old adage Fhottli not be quite forgotten : It is wise to catch the bear before you skin him." There are accounts in town of the nature which we stated yesterday, however much certain men may wish the fact not to be credited. They call for parti culars, as if their patrons were ignorant of the facts— as if Ministers had no communications from their Agents at Odessa, nor from their Minister at Con stantinople; and as-if they were ignorant of all the secret movements of the Russian emissaries in the, lonian Islands. The Morning Chronicle of this day, speaking of these matters, asserts, that the facts will soon be confirmed by the bursting of them The exhich is already charged.—" It is well known that it has been the policy of ALEXANDER to encourage the settlement of Greeks at Odessa. Its chief popula tion, indeed, is Greek, and that place has been the Foyer of the plot. There it has been nurtured, and is now brought to maturity. The design is no longer concealed. A public subscription by the Greek in habitants has been made, and three hundred thousand rubles were subscribed by them, up to the 9th of March last, when the last advices were dispatched. A Proclamation, avowing the determination of ac complishing the deliverance of Greece, was actually printed, and was to have been publicly read in the Greek Church the Sunday after; but this, for the moment, was prevented by the Governor, though passports were freely given by him to the inhabitants to proceed to Kerahmar, near Jassy, which was ap pointed the rendezvous, and where Russian Officers were ready to regiment and discipline them. Above 200,000 Russian troops are actually assembled on the borders of the Black Sea, and the insurrection of the Greeks is to be simultaneous with an attack by Russia on Me Turkish provinces on the Danube. So says the account r To the foregoing statement of the account which has reached the Morning Chronicle, are added the following observations: "If this prove true, we know what it means. Fortunately for the world, there are now no such things as secrets of State. We know that, independent of the mutual agreement among all the Sovereigns of Europe to check, and to get rid of liberty wherever they can, there are certain territorial objects which form the constant standing policy of their Cabinets. It is not a secret that Austria wants the whole of Italy. It is not a secret that the Scythian Czar wants all Poland, and all Moldavia, and all Wallachia. It is not a secret that, holy.as the Alliance is, it cannot go en in harmony if the principle of -",reciprocal compensation" be ence departed from by its members. The result is obvious. Austria has had a sort of Cod-send (to uss a familiar word) in the Neapolitan troubles; and now Russia is to come in for the windfalls of the storm she has been raising among her Turkish neighbours. As to the measures prepa ratory to their several projects, however, the ottcessor of Tnearrant has been an overmatch, in pretences at least, fur his confederate the King of the Huns. Russia has never fully exe cuted her last Treaty with the Ottoman Porte. It has always been her policy to keep back some trifling point, whe ther in the negotiation or the execution of her Treaties with Turkey, on which she might, in due time and season, re-com mence hostilities; and in Provinces inhabited almost entirely by Christians of the same . sect with herself, points of this nature ran alvi-ays be brought forward, with the help of a little excitement on her part. Austria, we saw, was obliged to make a quarrel with Naples. The Scythian has a quarrel ill ready with Turkey. Within the last three months, the advices froin Constantinople hate noticed, occasionally, angry conferences between his Ambassador and the Turkish Go. vemnsent. Now, if that Minister can but contrive to get himself sent to the Seven Towers, his Master may crown a CONSTANTINZ, Eureaos OP' CAME, before the sumnier.— There is no impediment to it. Austria must consent. Prance has abandoned her true continental policy, for the sake of se curing the legitimate succession of the Crown; and England is out of the question. England can do nothing. She cannot even remonstrate. The nonsense daily talked in the House of Com mons about here commanding situation, and her • high rank among the nations,' &c. &c. imposes on nobody, not even on Sir Tumuli LIRTIIIRIDGE. England, under hes present Rulers, is , absolvsly null; and must st.btuir to the coliwciuwice4 of her .~"~ nullity, if' Russia chooses to possess ht.vself o. Europa n tote, iut who can grieve?

New York Papers arrived this morning to the 17di March. The following is given as an extract of a Letter from Cape Henry, St. Domingo, dated 2d February : " President Boyer is expected to return here in about six weelc, to sell the public property, to tom. plete his appointments, to project and carry into exe cution plans for rebuilding and repairing the rui ns of this once beautiful town, to proclaim the new Constitution, and, if possible, to enforce the new laws. Affairs are far from being settled. Although Boyer, on the whole, is popular, he wants Christophe's energy and promptness, which are necessary to govern a pen, ple who have seen two revolutions."
