THE domestic aTairs of the cluntry at present distract the attention from the contemplation of foreign polities; the public mind being entirely et tgrossetl with the consi del ation of the future tine.mial plans of the Minister, foe alleviction of the agricultural distresses of the couivry, ~! , 1 t h e ti dati:oat retrenchments in the various depart ment! Ar.ny, Navy, and the Ordnance. Tli.trystem. of finance hereafter to be acted upon, is not yri, fully decided, and, in the present temper of the I I..use of Commons, .with the opposition mounted high on the stilts of ttiumpli, and by no means presuming, on 8c- THE NATIANAL REGISTER. antnt •Xtheir late victory, the measures of the Ministers must beguiled by superior prudence and caution. The very tread and took of the Minister are now watched with a lynx's eye ; every guinea tr.'sen from the treasury is to use a common phrase, required to be haled ut twice, be fine it is spent, and a correct account must be rendered of the purpose, to which it was applied. In these endea vours to establish an exteneive system of retrenchment and economy in every department of the state, we sin.. ceray hope, that the partizans of the good cause will not suffer their zeal to carry them too far. Much have the present Ministers yet to do, and when we consider the per tinacity with which they have clung to the support of the present Military Establishment, there is u something► which presents itself to our titled, which we think has net had its due weight of serious consideration. The secrets of the cabinet are to us impenetrable, butt al though we are virtually in a state of Peace, are the Mi nisters impressed with the full conviction, that such astute twill be o± longduration, and have they net, front a general survey of the present state of Europe, and the umbitieus views of certain potentutes, some strong. foreboding, that Lngland will soon have tegnin to dra•.v the sword—per haps itt defence of le,4•S:im-7te monarchy? We hope the contrary, but we see sentething in the Army Estimates beyond a mere advance of general expenditure. In the mean time, Ministers feel themselves obliged to yield to t!.e voice of the nation, :red the Army Estimates have been withdrawn for the purpose of effecting those re trenchments which have been se strententAy insisted upon. The country's weltiire has been, and we believe still is the object of the aim of the present Ministers; we have been b,rne by them victoriomly through the con fiding elements of an unparalleled war, we are promised and assured beyond dispute, that retrenchment and economy shall be adhered to in every department; in such promises, we arc not too sanguine when we say, they red/ be perforuted. The distress of the Agricultural state of the country at tracts at present the attention of the legislature. It is indeed a question worthy of the most mature and serious consideration, for on its decision will depend the future prosperity of the country. As the subject is to be again debated on Tuesemy next, we shall not ncw cater intoa full detail of the various measures which were proposed as a relief to the agricultural interest under its present severe depteu.ion. The remedy of Mr. Western, who has taken the lead on the occasion, is either the export of .corn, or the prevention of the importation of fbreign corn, and the removal of the duties on spirits. Different remedies w4e also proposed, such as a duly upon firreign woe' or fbreign cloth, the augmentation of the duties on spirits, and the advance of a large sum of money to the agricultural interest. Mr. F. Lewis proposed two reAdu tions, one to encourage the exportation of our own wool, and the other to permit the growth of tobacco within the United Kingdom. In the mime of the debate, it was announced by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, that a drawback would be allowed on the malt used in brewing from the period at which the malt is brought in, to the period, when the •war dajities on malt are to cease, viz. July. The French and German papers, have been regularly received in the course of the week, but the severe re strictions, which are imposed upon the French press, pre vent us gleaning any tbrther particulars as to the inter nal state of the country.—The French funds have been rapidly declining. The Committee have made their report to the Cham ber of Deputies respecting the establishment of the I)uke of Berri. Instead of the proposed million of francs a year, being reduced, for five years to half that sum—the Com mittee in a paroxysm of loyalty, reanntrend the who!e, and also that the million of franc• propos4.ll as un outfit should be increased to a million and a half. _ _ The same Papers contain a long ordonnance of the King, re-constituting the national institute. It is to be divided into four classes, cal led academies, these principal classes are again subdivided into minor brunches. The trial of General Debelle on a charre, of treason, has terminated, and the Council of War has passed sentence of death upon the prisoner, but recommended him to the clemency of the King. The General, after hearing the sentence, turned without the least emotion towards the soldiers, and said. "My features are not altered, fir my conscience is pure. If the mercy of the King should still be extended to a subject, who was only led into an error, my whole life shall be employed in repairing my offences. If that can be expiated only by my death, am ready to die, fire It is supposed that his punishment coral be cemmuted to ten years bnprisonment. Paris Papers of Wednesday last have been received, bit they arc wh olly destitute of interest. The dlwtilcur of the 128th contains a Report of the Minister of the Interior on the State of Commerce, and coaling every allowenee for eNaggeration, it bears with it a convincing proof, t':at the tranquillity of France re quires only to be firmly e3tablished, to crege an alarming competition with this country in every department of trades and manufactures. The sqk and Cotton menu tit:tures of France present at this time an animated spec tacle. The fortacr at Avignon have experienced the most important impri;vetuent. The uumbcr betas APRIL 1. in activity during the 4th quarter of 1815, surpassed by more than 200, that of the preceding quarter. The spurt cottons of Rouen have been much in demand, and of vel veteens an increased hale has taken place of 2,1(k) pieces. We shall advert to this interesting Expose on a future day. We learn, from a German Parer, that the present Go vernment of Poland holds out great eneouragetnent to flireigners to settle in the. country. By a decree of the Viceroy, issued on the 2il of March, all artisans, mono. facturers, and agriculturists, settling in Poland, will be exempted from all taxes for six years; to the latter, portions of the crown lands will be given. These fo reigners and their sons are exempted from military service, and can at an•• time receive pas3ports from the Govern. ment, on wishing to return to their native country. The introdivtion of their cattle mil other effects over the confines into Pol ind is toll free. Foreign Jews arc, however, excepte. from the benefits of this Deeree.• Wegive the fbllowingas an extract of a letter from Paris, withr,ot imposing on our readers an implicit credence of its couttrits ; we most however remark, that the motions of Austria have been fbr s.Lue time r...gartled with n sus picious eye. We do most firmly believe that that Power Is nottrishing the individual, who will one day overthrow the dynasty of the Bourbons. " rants, MARCH 23.-1 should think I was deficient in my duty towards you, were I not to apprise you, that rumours of an alarming faunae are now current. in societies which, from their opportunity a correct inf.Prt.ipstion, rarely leave room for suppositious inielligence. It is :armed that the Ailshian mies passed the female's of the French kiagdoni on the I:n i 'slant, and that a declaration of their views was published at Wolin, in Datiplany, on the 1. h.—Various are the conjec ture■ here on the moti ses of this invasion; some pretend that it is connected with the refusal of this power to restore Gali cia to Poland, which MIS considered as an indemnity for the avrainlisement of the Austrian territories in Italy. A Mani festo of the Emperor of Russia against Austria was said re hare been receised yesterday, complaining of this country's want of faith in the aceompli•hment of its treaties. On the other hand Amber enters into France, as it is affirmed, under pretence of exacting an indemnity for the Es-Empress of aft millions, but willing to sound the public nand. and should cir cumstances prove 'propitious, after eitabikithot the Regency of Maria Louisa, to form an offensive and deti•usive alliance with France, and set at defiance Bavaria, Prussia. and Russia. I communicate to you this intelligence, without pretending to ascertain the degree of credibility it is entitled to, whether it be the esazgerated description of snow previously understood arrangement, or whether it be the pure invention of the auda cious and disinfected. The following is an extract of a Letter from Afailritli dated March lt►:— " Cvery thing is arranged for the departure of the Pa esident of the Council of Co.tile. the Duke of Intinditdo, to Cadiz. The object of his mission is to receive the two brides who are rooting from Brazil, to marry them both by prteky. rind to ac company them on their wee to the capital. l'or the greater honour there go with him the use:Olathe"' of boumir, the hotly guattb , , and the servants tilt lie palace. It is thought that grand royal entertainments will be giveu ; but as there is a d !lb:ivory of money, the billowing expedients have been resorted to: first and principal, that no one shall be paid, this treasury remaining open for receipt, but not tin• payment; that a ditect tax of ti quarters (a quarter is the fourth of u real--a real is about 3d:l he imposed on the pound of dealt and of bacon, and on bread and vegetables in proportion; fuer re als more of direct tax on every orzaho k a measure of 3:: pints) of wine and oil ; anti lastly, the treasury has deelared, that tOr the preseut it will pay none of its bonds. For some days arrests have been raging agaio with great fury. A great !tittuber of persons of distino isat arc in pri son: and what cannot he mentioned without horror and to the disgi ace oldie age in wMelt stelite, the to-tun. has just been re estahlised here. Orders hare been issued to reinforce the guard of the Court with colnums of provincial grenadiers. The motive of thi. measure is not known. The last accounts from Corfu are not quite so favoura ble, the plague having broken out in a.wthcr village. The dispatches received over-land from the East Indies crc stated to relate to measures now pending between the Govenor-General and the Mahrattes, who refuse to rxeke and maintain the body of subsidiary troops intend ed to be forced upon them ; the result may lead to a general war in India. Sir David Ochterlony is appointed to the chief command of the forces in the fall.
