MONDAY, JANUARY IL Excessive Taxation defeats the very purpose of its imposition ; the decrease of our Revenue is the best proof to adduce of this fact—and this proof is furnished by the report of the last quarter. On the meeting of Parliament, recourse must again be had either to the sinking fund, or to the money market, for a loan. In the seventh year of profound peace a revenue of nearly 50 millions and a halt' is insuf ficient to meet our disbursements—such is the train of blessings entailed upon us by " the glorious PITT principles" —such are the claims upon our gratitude that may be urged by the present inisters. The King of Naples was expected to reach Lay bach on the •4th instant, and the result of the deli berations of the Holy Alliance are looked for with extreme anxiety. If they determine to dictate at the point of the bayonet to a people determined to be free, we Lope to see France and England unite to support the weaker against the stronger Powers— a war, under such•-circumstances, would be properly popular—England ought never to have drawn her ~~, ~~ -- of THE NATIONAL REGISERT sword against the liberties of France—she might redeem her credit with ther world by chastising the unauthorised and unjustifiable assumption of Russia, Austria, and Prussia. Ministers are ; making extraordinary exertions to gather together their minions on the meeting of Par liament—it is said they mean to propose 50,0001. as the annual allowance to the Queen, but to accom pany the grant by a declaration of her guilt. If they attempt to do so we hope the House of Com mons will punish them for their daring temerity— they appear to count upon the entire devotion of that branch of the Legislature, but we do not quite despair of seeing them convinced of their error. There is a passage in the Manifesto of the Portu guese nation (which we insert ,this day) so exactly applicable to the present lamentable and miset:jible state of our own country, that we. cannti avoid noticing and drawing the attention of our readers to the conectites of the pict ure of English aiiisfortuae. They say,— IVliat conlil the nation do in such a situation? Stiffer still hope? It did starer and hope in vain for many years. Sigh, iemonstistr, complain? L did sigh; hat its sighs were not listened to. Net listened to ? They were re pressed, cruelly stilled. It remonstrated and complained ; but its remonstrances and rosuplditits never reached the throne. The sing was told that his people were con tented and faithful." French papers of Tuesday arrived yesterday.— They contain nothing but a stormy debate in the Chamber of Deputies, not on the demand of 6- t 2ths of the revenue for the year, which was fixed for the subj,:et of discussiol, but on a charge ,brought by General Donadieu against one of the Ministers for offering a bribe of 1,000 francs to a Deputy fur the purchase of his vote. The Keeper of the Seals demanded an explanation of the General's meaning. and declared the charge a calumny. The General persisted in his assertion that a bribe had been offered—that the honour of a Member of the Chamber had been outraged by an attempt upon his independence, and that he was ready to name the parties at the pleasure of the Assembly. A Secret Committee was demanded by the Prince de Broglie to investigate the circumstances. The motion was over-ruled, and the Member's name to whom the bribe was tendered was not given ; but it was evident from the ext.iantation, " Such are the French sentiments imported from the Crimea," that the Duke of Richelieu was the Minister against whom the charge was directed. We have received the German Pipers, their con tents are important. An article from Hamburgh gives the Declaration of the Allied Powers at Trap pau against Naples. They commence with a sweep ing denunciation not only against Naples but also against Spain and I'ortugal, as if their great revenge had stomach, for them all." • There is much ambi guity as usual in this state document, which betrays their wishes more than their intentions. It is not so boisterous nor so violent as the article in the Austriau Observer, declaratory of the measures which the I 4 'y triumvirate have in contemplation. They declare that they had no other object in inviting the King of the Two Sicilies to Congress than to make them Mediators between him and his people, or rather to induce hint to sign a formal abjuration of the new sysrem. As there is no dispute between between the King and his subjects, the idea of their becoming Mediators is rather whimsical. They speak of precautionary measures, yet they admit that they intend to effect their object by force. The King of Naples and the people would dispense with their mediation and royal kindness, which, now ever, they do not venture to propose extending to Spain and Portugal, though noticed in their gene ral denunciations against all Countries recently revolutionized. There scents to have been some new li g hts, broke in on the Sovereigns of Troppau since they truckled to Buonaparte, and anknowledged his Government, though he was •' the Child and Cham., ~: "2 #4, 1 . 7 .I . "t ~.7:. .~ - «~:_ =MN sue; ?:e~_ ~ -. A' .. pion ofJacobinism," and the creature of a Revolu tion produced by Military achievements rand enter prize. They assume that England and France will support their measures, whatever their intention may be, though we form no part of the Holy Alli ance, and the Earl of Liverpool has candidly declared, that it is not the policy of Great Britaia to join any project against Naples, and that we are now in amity and friendship with Spain. The Allies allude to existing treaties. These conse quently must soon be developed, and then it will be seen if Lord Castlereagh has committed himself or not. We could never believe that he would qgree to•any compact pledging England to join in the eternal degradation of mankind.. The Allies, before they denounce, should endeavour to show that the Neapolitan Constitution is unjust. It is founded upon that of Spain, where the Sovereign authority is scrupu!ously respected, and the people enjoy more happiness than ever they did in ages that are passe3. Why then should the Sovereigns at Troppan med dle or interrupt their repose? Are they anxious " that chaos should come agtin,"'and thud•. it a duty that the llo'y ilitiqnce should enter upon a crusade to reestablish the Holy Inquisitiou in Spain e—le such is the beatitude of the pious Triumvirs, • Heaven grant that we at least shall be spared front heir interference !. .~-s.: =1 '7 While the Whig Addresses or Amendments are condemnatory of Ministers, as a necessary conse quence of rational and constitutional loyalty, the Tory Addresses are totally silent on the subject.— Now abstinence from praise of the Ministers of the day (of whatever complexion they may be) in s Tory, is equal to positive censure in a Whig These two great parties have never for years before approx imated so near each other. Tlair opinion is the same in substance, and only differs in the mode of expression—the Whigs say that Ministers have either weakly or wickedly violated almost every pritteirle of the Constitution, and the Tories, that. their conduct is indefensible. The abject rehire of the Tory Nlinisteralist can never, even in :his met elevated mood, when something like good feeling gives hint something like spirit, reach the manliness or the Cunstitutiottal Whig ; a cautious reserve, therefore, is the strongest mode of disapprobation which his instinctive servility will allow him to conceive.. That these ultra loyalists should have, strained their fie:tildes to this pitch- of political virtue, is the miracle. It -is certrainly indicative of one of two things; either that the conduct of Mi nisters is in itself beyond the possibility a•aefenee —or that there is a distant probability of .a change , of men and measures, and as their principles always hang lossely about them, they are preparingtO cast their skin. However, be it indicative. of. What it may, it is clearly evident from this yulgie of the two great opposing pullets 14 the state, one of whitlt generelly direets...and;the other follows public Opinion* that Ministers.- have lost (if ever t hey 'had) the confidence*: the country. It' it 1e sail, that the loyal. Addreises, as by a miserable perversion of.language they are caged,. are strictly. and distinctly Ministerial, then the promoters of them are, most artful hypocrites. Knowing that Englishmen are 'distinguished (as we trust they always wll be) for attachiseut, to. their King as • the executive guardian of law, they appeal to it for promotion of an object which they da?e not avow, and make loyalty a Caere stalking horse of Nli nisteriulism; for in their Addresses, they stutlioas!y .abstain front. the mention of Ministers at all—and in theirspeeches they prgfessed!y disjoin the King from them, and make a freedom from party purple...A the distinct ground upon which they ask for sup port to their addresses. The Norwich Reform Society have proposed a Petition to the House of Commons, which prays the exertion of the influence of the House to.vards ob taining the restoration of the Queen's eame to Ore Liturgy, and to all the rights of a Queen Cons,,rs. They entreat that further proecedings against her Majesty may be stopped—inaniry instituted iat o the Milan Ciantuission—that tile support of the House may be withdrawn front Ministers—and the corrupt state of the representation taken into early consideration. The Queen is in treaty thr a house in an eligible part of the town, as a permanent residence, so that those who calculated upon her Majesty leaving the country will be much disappointed. CAUTION.—It 's eu tomury for tradesmen to the papers O$ penny rtes containing five shillings. A deception has lately ucen practised of putting iron rings of scarcely ally value in the roll, filling tie space of the edges of pennies to the amount of ti or six in each roll. Persons therefore shotil.l take the money out of the roll, tp see,that it is complete. .: • ••• . .~-: -- mss. .. _..~ {'7 • ‘: i l f . 0 0 I 1, lo 1 ' ..
