In our last we stated un undeniable fact, that the produce of the taxes is unequal to meet the interest of the immense public debt, and the cur rent expences of the Government—what then it will be asked is to be done ? Some persons have proposed to pay ~fr a considerable part of it by means of a heavy tax upon the Freeholders, and to abrogate another part without any remuneration to the stock-proprietor:—in answer to such propo sition it may Le fhirly enquired whether the Free holder unable, from the distressed state of the country to receive his rents, could meet such u demand if it were made, aid whether the abroga tion of u part of the public debt would not be such a breach of faith with the public creditor, as would hereafter prevent the Government borrowing mo ney, however imperious the necessity might be; but there is a stronger argument against it, than THE NATIONAL REGISERT the self-evident answer to these questions wouli oppose—which is, that the poverty of Go vernment at present tics its- hands—we are to peace—not from the pacific inclinations of our Rulers but from their inability to raise supplies with which. to prosecute a war, whereas, the moment that one part of the debt was paid off and another annihilated, the city Sharks would be ready to furnish fresh Loans, and LOYAL Meetings would be held to petition for the vigorous pro,ecution of some new " just and necessary war's —Libre, therefore, any such alleviation of the weight of taxation can be prudently attempted, a Reliaan in Parliament must take place, and a Reform to such an extent as would insure the attention o the House of Commons to the general wishes of the peoph..---fOr so long as a majority in that House can be commanded by an Administration, be it never su wicked, so long is it even desirable that the load of debt may continue so excessive as to !ninth= any warlike inclination. The recent meeting in Mid dlesex fur the promotion of this long wished for and long talked of measure, will be a signal to every county in the kingdom, and we hope the example afforded at that Meeting, of union between the two classes of Reformers, will be followed at every other. Parliament is on the eve of mecting—the first step towards Reform tru , t be taken aiily to have any good eflbet—and •' England expects every man to do his duty " The French Farm of Wednesday arc entirely occupied with a reprt of the proceedings in the Chamber of Deputies on the preceding day, on the presentation of the prrilet de loi of the Finances for the present year. The Sittiug opened at one o'clock. The Presi dent of tho Council of Ministers, the Ministers of the Interior, of Finance, of Foreign AtEiirs, M. de Villele, Minister of State, and MM. Benoit de Caux, Jurirn, and Clivier, Counse:lurs of State were present at the opening of the sitting. After some preliminary business, the Minister a the lutrcior presented five pH)), Ide ['Aim the King relating to matters of local interest. They were referred to the Bureaux, and ordered to be taken into consider ation the next day The Minister of Finance then ascended the tri bune, and presented the prgjel de toi on the Finances fbr 1821. It combined, he said, the receipts and cxpencus for the year. " We Plight," said he, " in difficult circumstances, be content with obtaining the equilibriance of the two, but we are arrived at a time when we may demand more. After some further remarks, he stated the total of the fixed ex pences fur the year 18‘2I to be estimated at 351,271,489 f: and those of the Administration at 521,'585,885 f. The latter are composed of the following items: Tile expellees of die Piesidency of the Courted of NI iiiis• ters, and those of the AICIIIIICIts of Justice, the sante as fur 1820. The Minhtry of Foreign Affairs hi included in the propo is ion of the law 1,870,000 C. The insufficiency of the credits for she pay DICUI, &c. of Diplomatic Agents and Coursers, caused a demand ut the Asths 001. by which the 7,870,000 C. exceeded the sum granted for 1;•120. The hl inkier of Was limited his demand to 175,442,000 f. which was 4,:182,350 f. less than that .I'lB%o. 1 he expenses of the Nlarisse are chtsunuicti ut 53 millions, beiag au inersinse tor hree '1 he 111inistty of she Interior 103,720,000 f., being a dimi nution of 900,0001.

The produce from tie wile of Woods, is stated •` 18,500,000, king 3j millous above that of 1810. The indirect contributions the Minister of lu awe nti. mated at a probable increase, this )ear, of tan millions, making a total of lel millions. The Customs promise a considerable increase, and are stated at 119 millions. The Post 01fice is est:muted to produce 21,310,000 f. being an increase albo. The Lottery at 15 millions. On the whole, the produr or the Revenue, notwitlivtnnd ing the reduction of the hood Tax is set down at 888,4V1,70: - . --the expeuces 884,327,374f.--inaktitg an excess of 5,6'14,371f. There is also disposable, for the year 1821, a sum of 21,400,000 f.; so that, alter a reduction of the Taxes fur the halt year beginning the, first of nest Ju'y, and amoun as to 17,181,570 f. there will he a total excess of 30 million! for the State. The printing ntul distribution of the proj, I . was finally ordered. The Sitting terminated at four o'c'ack. We have received Frankfort Papers to the 12th instant. They du not allude in the slightest degr, to the intelligence in the French Journals that the King of Spain has been invited to meet the Allied Sovereigns at Laybach. The military preparations of Austria► are completed, and her armies are said to be in readiness to take the field, should the con fisences at Laybach not have a pacific termination. Is this uncalled for army assembled to awe the King of Naples or not, and to have an unjust and impro per influence on the deliberations of Congress ? Wha legitimate right has Austria, or zany other Power, to interfere with the affairs of Naples or Spain ?—The Sovereigns of botl► Kingdoms have accepted the Constitution of their respective coun tries, which they wish to perpetuate and enjoy with the people, and as neither meddle nor interfere with • other Kingdoms or States, what right has Austria or the Holy Alliance to disturb their repose ? If the King of Naples identifies himself with the Con. stitutiun, which he has accepted, then we are told the sword is to be drawn. So that lie must either violate a solemn pledge, or expose himself to the point of the bayonet. Is this the piety of the Holy Alliance ? Is this the precious doctrine of the Paci licators of Europe ?—Really there is something so very repulsive and disgusting in these proceedings, that it is scarcely possible to allude to them with common patience.- It is surely then a very bud sign . to perceive the Ministetial Press of this Country support the confederated Sovereigns in such objects, and whose designs are reprobutod and condemned throughout Europe. Let them fulfil their promises to their own subjects, and give them a Representa tive Government, and not- attack the Independence of Kings and the Liberties of their People. The preparations fire the new expedition• to the Arctic regions are going on with the greatest cele rity, and, us in the former one, no expense is spared iu tarnishing comforts, both in food and clothing, fir the intrepid navigators. The Fury, Capt. Parry, is now in Deptford dock doubling, and being ren dered as fast. and strong as wood and iron will admit. The Heck:, Capt. Lyon, is already in that state, but will nevertheless be docked to be thoroughly exa mined, and to have such repairs as may be necessary. Both ships are fully manned with the choicest and best seamen, and at great was the ardour displayed, that more than double the number of volunteers offered their services than could be accepted. Lieut. C. Palmer, who served in the late voyage, is appointed to the flecia, Capt. Lyon. The inthrmation from Lima received at Buenos Ayres, reaches down to the 15th of September. It was confirmed that Lord Coehrane and San Martin had effected a landing at Pisco, but nothing further was known of their proceedings. nor were any favourable anticipations indulged regarding their success in this long projected enterprise, in conse quence of the nature of the, advises from Lima, and the territory under its cuntruul. It appears that the emetitution accepted by Ferdinand VII. in old Spain, had been promulgated in Ulll3 and its dependencies. It bad been declared with all the tin-m:ll44's belonging to so important a change : and the various public authorities, with the Viceroy ut their head, had proceeded to act upon it. A requisition is in progress or'signattir , to irr ite the Lord Mayor to c4ll a public general meeting of merchalts, bankers, and traders, ut the Egyptisor hail, to express the genuine sense of that body on the 14rcserit posture ufpublic atticrs. . ~ • ~1.~ "-•~e~-. ~ ~ ~T ~:= ~, ~,, _ _~.~_: I.lllMomdi _` "t, li
