111.011150ri. SUNDAY, APRIL 29. It certainly appaus as if there was an intention on the part of the Holy Alliance to turn their arms against Spain. In a Vienna article, in the French Papers, it is said, " Every thing I that our whole army is about to be put on the war foot ing, and that the Landwthr will be charged with the interior service. These extraordinary measures lead to the presumption, that after the occupation of Piedmont, there will still be another enterprise for the re-establishment of the tranquillity of Europe." There can belittle difficulty in conjectur ing whatlis the enterprise here alluded to. The money market would seem to have all along anticipated something of the sort, fur the Austrian success in Italy have not in the least tended to restore its confidence in Austrian paper ; and if the occupation of Italy were only in contemplation, it is nut easy to see how the discredit should still continue. In a letter from Frankfort, in the Allgerneine ZeAutig, it u said, that " there is yet no confidence in'Austrian pater either in Frankfurt or in Holland, and the lots of the 2d Lottery of Rothschild were, on one of the last redemption days, offered even under the ne gociation price, and the house of Rothschild was compelled to take back by no means a smaller num ber of them to prevent a further depreciation." An opinion must, we think, prevail among capitalists, to the effect which we have stated, and, considering the significant intimations on the subject in the shape of articles from Laybach, &c. a hich are allowed to appear at Vienna, where the Press is altogether in the hands of the Government, there seems to be much reason for entertaining it.

THE NATIONAL REGISTER res of defence , 1 lich the The vigorous measur,..... _ wt, OWNS have determined on, and the good sense of the. Monarch of France, will, it is hoped, disconcert the plans of the Royal Conspirators. It is very ge nerally believed that the French Monarch altogether ilisapproves of the idea of allowing a passage through France to a Russian army ; and that the Ultras who confidently expected the presence of the Rus sians, and who were unable to contain their joy on that account, are quite einved at finding them selves disappointed. If the King consult either the feelings of his. people, or his own safety, he will keep out the Russians. Easter Tuesday is the day fixed upon by Act of Parliament for the election of Churchwardens gene rally, and we rejoice to find that throughout the country the people have visited with the punish ment of rejection those who, during the past year, have repeatedly derided the declared wish of those by whom they were elected. The Queen's business has been the cause of ninny Churchwardens being turned out, and we hope their successors, taking warning by their dis,gtace, will show deference to the desire of the parishioners, from whose good opi nion they have been elevated to the situations they respectively hold. If similar punishments were inflicted in elections for Members of Parliament, a more desirable reform would be effected than the House of Commons can achieve, without being guilty of Felo-de-se. In a Bill in the House of Commons to explain and amend the Acts relating to Stamp Duties, it is intended to introduce provisions respecting the Le gacy Tax, which will bear the specious title of a regulation, but it will aggravate the severity of that cruel statute, by which all the personal property of the kingdom must pass through the hands of Go vernment every twenty-five years. It is proposed that the duty shall attach on all property assigned over, transferred, presented, or given away during life time, as well as when r..gularly bequeathed by the last will and testament. This new Act is found ed, it seems, on the practice which has prevailed, of evading the duty by assignments to trustees of pro perty, and by presents during life.—Some of the moat devoted tools of Ministers, in the highest ranks of society, and who were the most steady and keen in supporting all the taxes laid on the people, have been also the most successful in evading this tax, and of securing their heirs from its operation. Now, the ingenuity of Conveyancers has been exerted to frame a Bill that should put a stop to this for the future—so that no regard shall be paid by the law to the affections of parent—to the love of kindred— to the gratitude of friendship—and in nu way shall a person who has toiled, and secured a sum to give his relatives subsistence, be at liberty even to de prive himself of comforts, by sharing what :se pos sesses with those who are dearest to him, without a part of it being seised by the State. It will be the source, if persisted in, of most grievous litigation-- for no bill of the kind can be drawn so as to meet all the subterfuges of legal ingenuity ; and what an in quisition it must open, if every transfer of stock is to be sifted, to ascertain that an adequate considera tion has been given for the amount.—The fidlowing is an abstract of the bill we allude to : " Any deed or instrument, whether voluntary or gratuitous, or upon any gad or valuable c o nsid e r a ti on ( other than a bona Ale pecuniary consideration) whereby any sums of money, whether limited or unlimitted in auarunt, and whether therefore charged or chargeable, or by such deed or instrument made, de udtq charged or chargeable on any lends. • tenements, or heredita meats, or heritable subjects, or upon any chattels real or prsonal, or nut ea chargeable ; and if so charged or chargeable, whether to be raised at all events or not ; or whereby any share or shares (whether limi ed or unlimited in amount) in any of the govern ment or parliamentary stocks or funds, or in the stocks and tends of the Governor and Company of the Bank of England, or or the East India Company, or of the South Sea C•sopany ; or whereby any annuity or annuities, rent charges, or °trier annual payment or payments, or any part or share thereof. shall be settled, or agreed to be settled, upon or for the benefit of any pepsin or per sons, either in possession or reversion, either absolutely, or con • ditionally, or contingently, or for life, or other partial interest, or in any manner whatsoever, or made liable to any trust or pur pose whatsoever. (The scale of duties is here annexed, varying from 11. 13s. if the amount exceeds t,OOOl. and falls short of 2.oeo1• to 4.31. if exceeding 20,066.) This clause is founded upon the practice which has prevailed of evading the duty by assignments of property to trustees, and by presents during life. as well as when regularly bequeathed by List will and testament." • The Paris papers of Wednesday hit arrived yes terday, from which the following are extracts : v 1 ENNA,APItIL 14.--For several days there have passed through the covirons of this capital large Wier of remake who cause from the redotest part of (be empire.

The last few days have been extremely favourable to vegetation. Its Kent and Sussex the core of every description appears in a most promising state.
