LONDON: MONDAY, OCTOBER 1:1,1817. WE have great pleasure in informing our Readers that it appears by the statement of the produce of the Revenue for the quarter which ended on Friday, that there is an encrease as compared with the same quarte r inlBl6, of nearly 100,0001., that is, after deducting the amount of the War duty on Malt and the Property Tax, both of which operated to make the receipts of 1816 larger, but which are no longer in existence. It appears also by the statement of the Receipt of, and charges upon the quarter's revenue under the head of Consoli dated Fund, that the income or receipt of taxes to be classed under that head, amount this quarter t 0273,3111. beyond.the corresponding quarter of last year. The sur plus revenue, after defraying the charges upon the Consolidated Fund was in the quarter just expired 400,0001. being an excess beyond the quarter of List car of 113,2671. The Paris Papers of Wednesday last arrived yes terday. The following is the only article of im portance which they contain : " MADRID, Seel.. 25.—1 t appears certain that a Conrier has set off from here to Paris, carrying the aahcsion of our Government to the article in the Treaty of Vienna, relative to the Abolition of the Slave Trade. This Abolition is to commence from the year 1820." By the French journals of Tuesday, we learn that Grimaldi, the Police spy, of Black Pin memory, leas ad.lressed a circular letter to the Editors of the Paris vii . ; , cts, wherein be complains that his honour Las been LTIM REGT: attacked ; and threatens to publish a. memorial, by which the said honour shall be vindicated. A change is announced in the Home Department of the Russian Ministry. The Chevalier De Tros chensky, Minister of Justice, retires upon a pension, and is succeeded by Prince Lobanoff Kostoffsly, Gene r.►l of Infantry. Regnault de St. Jean d'Angely, who was rumoured to have lost his senses in America, has ar rived at Aix-la-Chapelle, supposed to be on his private affairs. • ' The Paris papers of Wednesday last, contain an ac count of the judgment en the appeal of Mersars. Comte and Dunoyer, against the sentence of the Court of Correctional Police, for the publication of " the Ma nuscript from St. Helena." M. Hua, the Advocate- General, prayed the confirmation of the original sent ence ; but the Court, taking into consideration the con finement which the parties had already sustained, re daced the period of their imprisonment from one year to three months, and the fine to. 1,000 francs. The Court also relieved them from the further penalty of five years' interdiction of their civil rights, which had been pronounced against them. This was a consider able mitigation, of the sentence of the inferior Court. It appears, however, that Messrs. Comte and Dunoyer are by no means satisfied with the result of the.procced ings; and it is said they have resolved to carry their cause by a new appeal before the Court of Ca.ssation. Last night we received by the Hamburgh mail Ger man papers, from which we extract the following letter : " ST. PETERSBURaII, SEPT. 9.o.—The principals of a proper administration of the finances, which arc steadily pursued by the Minister of Finance, M. Von Gurzcw daily give evidence of their utility. The public are already infiirmed that his plan for ex tinguishing the debts of the Empire and diminishing the paper currency by means of a loan, the amount of which is to be burnt in Bank-notes, and thus the mass of paper notes to be reduced, has not only been received with approbation by the Council of the Empire, but also declared by this highest department to be the surest means of attaining this end. The loan makes considerable progress. In the first month since it was opened eight millions and a half have been received which proves the confidence of the public in this mea sure, and also that both parties must find their account in it. It is indeed true that 71 per cent. is an interest with which any monied man may be satisfied, particularly when we consider that the securitiy of the loan is guarinteed by all the collective domains of' the Crown. If we consider the immense extent and value of the land which belong in Russia to the domains of the Crown, we shall find this confidence very natural : for they includenot only the numerous, extensive, and for the most part well-peopled and frnitful lands of the Crown, with the forests in almost all the Ckvernments of the Empire, but also the great uncultivated districts in the southern provinces, which, by the increase of the population, are gradually con verted into fertile plains, and the intrinsic value of which therefore increases annually. If we add the judicious restrictions on the importation of articles which the national industry can furnish, we may ex pect the must favourable result for the finances of the Empire. "The Emperor arrived on the 27th August, 0. 8. in the evening at Mohilow, where he was received by Field Marshal Prince Barclay de Tolly, with the generals, the civil governor, and the nobility ; and in the church by the Archbishop Daniel and the clergy. The next day (St. Alexander's day) his Majesty was pleased, after divine service, to receive the dewy and the civil authorities ; he dined with the field-marshal ; and in the evening honoured with his presence the ball given by the Prince. "On the 18th of September, 0. S their Imperial Highnesses the Archduke Nicholas, the Archduchess Alexandra, and Prince William of Prussia, set out for Moscow; on the 23d the Empres s Eli za b e th ; an d on the 25th the. Empress Maria. From the town of Elia, 80 wersts on this side of Moscow, the august travellers will proceed to Moscow in company. At each of the three last stages 500 horses are ordered. DRAMATIC DISINTERESTEDNESS.—.. Mr. Kean, a few weeks ago on his way to Liverpool, performed one night at the Buxton theatre. The prices were raised, applications showered in thr seats, an overflow took place, and Mr. Kean was to be remunerated by one half of the receipts. It so happened, that the honest manager had a large family, and fortune had long dealt hardly with him; this coming to the ears of our modern Roscius made a suitable impression ; and on the following morning, when the conductor of the Thespian corps tendered the cash as by agreement, " have none our says Kean ; " and my reason is this, you have nine children, and I have only one." BRITISH COMPETITION IN GERMANY. The following sensible article on a subject which has for some time excited considerable intereit in this as well as other countries, is extracted from the Ger man papers last received. It sets in a strong point of view the fully of those writers who FARM to take a plea sure in predicting the ruin of British manufactories by the increasing ability of continentalartizans:-- . " The attempts and exertions of the proprietors •of our German manufactories to get rid of the trouble some competition witli the English• manufactures in the German markets still continue, and frequently give rise to the most singular assertions. " The tcniency to exclude foreign competitors, and thus to be able to prescribe laws to the consumers, and to sell to them inferior goods at a high price with less trouble than could be done without this exclusion of: foreigners, is, we know, general in all countries where manufactories exist. It animates shoemaker: a' tailors in the smallest country town, as well as the pro prietor of the greatest manatiwtory. " Nobody ever yet doubted but that this exclusion of foreigners was advantageous and' desirable for• tier manufacturer and artisan ;•and that it is the interest of manuflicturers to persuade us that their interest is the interest of the State. The arguments which. are commonly employed by them produce this con viction, such as the independence of the State— upon foreign countries, the keeping at !tune all the money which goes abroad for foreign produc tions, the support of' the inhabitants, by employing them in the manufactories of the country,. have been repeated often enough and are heard every where; but. that the consumer of the msnutitctures longs for the exclusion of foreign articles from the market, that he may pay a higher price for whet he wants, this asset.. Lion is new " We find it expressed in plain words ► in an article from Elberfeld, in No. `...!ti , t of the Algemei7e Ztitung. The writer, endeavouring to controvert the assertion of the I:nglish papers, that a prohibition of the English, manufactures in Germany cannot lx! thought of or exe cuted, because it would be inconsistent with the inter est of the German peasantry and of the Governments, says, " Twenty-five millions of men, (including Prus-• sin) look up to their Governments for protection and deliverance in this respect," (namely, the exclusion of English manufactures from the German markets.) " Ace-orating to this, 25,000,000 of Germans require of. their Governments to be protected against the liberty of . buying better goods at a lower price ; or, in other words, present petitions to their Governments to pay a general tax on consumption for the benefit of some- German manufacturing towns, and proprietors of ma nufactories. " As far as our knowledge extends, the general: voice of 25 millions of people in Germany has not yet expressed itself to this effect. We hear, indeed, now: and then complaints of too heavy direct and indirect taxes in Germany, and many persons may look up to• their Governments for protection and deliverance in this respect ; but the eyes of the people of Germany. have not yet been turned towards their Governments, as the writer of the letter from Elberfeld affirms, with a petition to pay a new indirect tax for the advantage of our manufacturers."—Frankfort German Gazette, Oct. 2, stated to be quoted from a Rhenish paper. RUSSIAN BIBLE SoctETv.—lt appears from the Re port of the Rnssian Bible Society, dated the 18th of June last, that the Committee of the Society had en tered into engagements to circulate 43,000 copies of the Holy Scriptures in 17 different languages, milling a total of 196,000 copies. The Committee completed in the course of 1816, an edition of 10,000 Sclavonian• Bibles, 10,000 ditto New Testaments, 5,000 Finlandic, 5,000 French, 5,000 of the New Testament in Sa moyede. They were occupied, at the date of the Re port, with the printing of the following editions, to be completed in the present year : 20.000 Selavonian Bibles ; 5,000 Ditto New Testaments 5000 Armenian Bibles; 3000 Ditto New Testaments ; 2000 Tartar Ditto; 3000 Greek Bibles; 5000 Ditto New Testa. ments ; 2000 Georgian Ditto; 5000 Moldavian Bibles 2000 Ditto separate copies of the Gospel of Saint Lnke; 2006 Ditto Psalms; 5000 Ditto New Testaments ; 5000 Bibles for German Catholics ; 5000 New Testa items in Latin; 5000 Ea thoniati Bibles ; 2000 Cal Gospel of Saint Matthew. The number of copies of the Bible and Testament distributed in 1316 was 19,43 1 . Arrangements were making for an edition of the Holy scriptures in sterec type plates, in five different languages. Transla tions were also making of the Bible into the Russian vulgar tongue, the Tartar and t7arlesim languages; and arrangements were likewise making to obtain trans lations into the Turkish-Armenian and Burat Mongul languages. Madame Mnrat, it is said, bas purchased, for nine hundred thousand florins, the lordship of Ort, between Vienna and Preaburg, belonging to the banker, Count Fries. The Count has just returned from Prague, where he is reported to have concluded with Fouche, in conjunction with the banker of Prague, M. Von La. mel, the sale of his estate near Paris.
