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 half 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 Ministers. The King of Naples was expected to reach Lay bacli on the 4th instant, and the result of the deli berations of the 11•1,11 Alliance arc looked tier with extreme anxiety. If they determine to dictate at the point of the bayonet to a people determined to be free, we Lope to 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 r' ~ . r.. THE NATIONAL REGISTER. sword against the liberties of France—she might Mewls her credit with the 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 lay 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 miserable state of our own country, that we cannot avoid noticing and di awi lg the attention of our readers to the correctness of the picture of English misfortune. They say,— " What could the nation to in such a situation? Suffer and hope? It did suffer and hope in vain for many years. Sigh, remonstrate, cum, lain? It did sigh; but its sighs were nut listened to. Nit listened to? They were re. pressed, cruelly stifled. It remonstrated and complained ; but its remonstrances and complaints never reached the throne. The King was told that his people were con. tented and faithful." French papers of Tuesday arrived yesterday.— They emitain nothing but a stormy &bate in the Chamber of Deputies, not on the demand of 6- i 2ths of the revenue for the year, which was fixed for the subject of discussion, but on a charge ,brought by General Donatlieu against nue of the Ministers for offering a bribe of 1,000 francs to a Deputy for 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 au 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 exclamation, " Such are the French sentiments imported from the Crimea," that the Duke of Richelieu was the Minister against whom the charge wa.l directed. We have received the German Papers, their con tents are important. An article from Humburgh gives the Declaration of the Allied Powers at Trop pau against Naples. They commence with a sweep ing denunciation not only against Naples but also against Spain and Portugal, 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 o boisterous nor so violent as the article in the Austrian Olosereer,declaratory of the measures which the holy 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 bysrern. 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, w bleb, how ever, they do not venture to propose extending to Spain and Portugal, though noticed in their gene nil denunciations against all Countries recently revolutionized. There seems to have been Some new lights, broke in on the Sovereigns of Troppau since they truckled to Buonaparte, and anknowledged his Government, though he was • the Child and Chain_ "Ab:•.* .~-- - • !..•"" ~~''-`` , It pion of Jacobinism," and the creature of a Ravolu. tion produced by military achievementsfand enter prise. 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 Britain 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 , igree to any compact pledging England to join in the eternal degradation of mankind. The Allies, before they denounce, should endeavour to show that the Neapalitan Constitution is unjust. It is founded upon that of Spain, where the Sovereign authority is scrupu!onsly respected, and the people enjoy more happiness than ever they did in ages that are passe'. Why then should the Sovereigns at Troppau med dle or iaterrt.pt their repose? Are they anxious " that chaos should come again," and think it a duty that the Ils'y Alliance should enter upon a crusade to re-establish the Holy Inquisition in Spain t—lf such is the beatitude of the pious Triumvirs, Heaven grant that we at least shall be spared from heir interference ! 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.— Wow abstinence from praise of the Ministers of the day (of whatever complexion they may be) in a Tory, is equal to positive censure in a Whig These two great parties have never for years before approx imated so neat each other. Their opinion is the same ip suhrtanee, , and only differs in the mode of expression—the Whigs say that Ministers have either weakly or wickedly violated almost every principl: pf the Constitution, and the Tories, that their conduct is indefensible. The abject nature of the Tory Ministeralist can never, even in his most elevated mood, when something like good feeling gives him something like spirit, reach the manliness of the Constitutional Whig ; a cautious reserve, therefore, is the strongest mode of disapprobation which his instinctive servility will allow him to conceive. Thlt these ultra loyalists should have strained their faculties to this pitch of political virtue, is the miracle.. It is certrsinly indicative of one of two things; either that the eonduct of Mi nisters is in itself beyond the possibility of defence —or that -there is a distant probability of a change of men and measures, and as their principles always hung lossely about them, they are preparing to cast their skin. However, be it indicative of what it may, it is clearly evident from this public coalition of the two great opposing parties in the state, one of whili generelly directs and the other follows public opinion, that Ministers have lost (if ever they bad) the confidence of the country! If it be said, that the loyal Addresses, as by a miserable perversbn of languaoe they are called, arc strictly and distinctly Iklunstcrial, then the promoters of them are most artful hypocrites. Knowing that Englishmen are distinguished (as we trust they always will be) fur attachment 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 mere stalking horse of Mi nisterialism; for in their Addresses, they studiously abstain front the mention of Ministers al all--and in their speeches they professedly di:j.rin the King flout • them, and make a freedom from party purposes 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 towards ob taining the restoration of the Queen's name to the Liturgy, and to all the rights of a Queen Consort. They entreat that further proceedings against her Majesty may be stopped—inquiry instituted into • the Milan Commission—that the support of the House may be withdrawn from Ministers—and the corrupt state of the representation taken into early consideration. A rtqu7sition is in progress of signature, to invite the Lord Mayor to call a public ;,•tteral meeting of merchants ; bankers, and traders, at the E l •ypt tan - ball, to express the ger • b.u.l; the present posture of CAUTION.—It is ut papers of penny pieces, deception has lattly rings of scarcely any space of the edges of or six in each roll. the money out of the 1, , It rt. ~ taj utst.n , . • r• I - all, to express the genuine sense of that bAly . on le present posture of public CAwrioN.— It is customary fin: tradesmen to take 0 . 1 avers of penny pierces, containing five shillings.
