LOl O 3Oll, MONDAY, JANUARY es, In our lust we stated an undeniable fact, that the produce of the taxes is uncqual 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 otf 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 fltirly cilitired whether the Free holder unable, from the distressed state of the country to receive his reins, could meet such a demand it it Were made, and whether the abroga tion of a rort of the public debt would not Le such a breach of faith with the public creditor, as would hereafter prevent the Government borrowing mo ney, however imperious the necessity misht be; but there is a stronger argument against it, than THE NATIONAL REGISERT • the self-evident answer to these questions would oppose—which is, that the poverty of Go vernment at present ties its hands—we are at 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 prosecution of some new " just and neces,ary war's —before, therefore, any such alleviation of the weight of taxation can be prudently attempted, a Reform in' Parliament must take place, mil a Refi,rm to such an extent as would insure the attention of the House of Commons to the general wishes of the peoph.—fin• so lung as a majority in that House can be commanded by an Administration, be it never so wicked, so long is it even desirable that the load of debt may continue so excessive as to paralize any warlike inclination. The recent meeting in Mid dlesex fur the pio:notion of this Tong wished for and long talked of measure, will be a signal to everY county in the kingdom, and we hope the example aflioded ut that Meeting, of union between the two classes of Reformers, will be followed at every other, Parliament is on the eve of meeting—the first step towards, Reform must be taken speedily to have any wad effect—and " England expects every mau to do his duty " The French papers of Wednesday are cntirtly occupied with a rep.:rt . of the proceedings in the • Cluusaber of Deputies on the preceding day, on the presentation of the prqiel de hi of the Finances for the present year. The Sitting opened at one o'clock. The Presi dent of the Council of Ministers, the Ministers of the Interior, of Finance, of Foreign At airs, M. de Villele., Minister of State, and MM. Benoit, de Jurirn, and Cuvier, Counsellors of State were present at the opening et' the sitting. After some preliminary business, the Minister of the Intreior presented five intiel de loi from 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 prliel de lui on the Finances for 182 I . It combined, he said, the receipts and expenccs for the year. " We might," said he, " in diffieult circumstances, be comet)* with obtaining thb equilibriance of the two, but we are arrived at a time when we may demand more. After sonic further remarks, he stated the total of the fixed ex pences for the year 1821 to be estimated ut 851,271,489 1. and those of the Administration at 52 I ,285,885 f. The latter are composed of the following items: The expellees of the Presidency of the CUUliCli of Minis ters, otol those the Menthe's of Juittee r the some as for 1820.

The Sitting terminated lit four o'clock. We have received Frankfort Papers to the 12th instant. They do not allude in the slightest degree to the intelligence in the French Journals that the King of Spain has been invited to meet the Allied Scivereigns at Laybach.. The military preparations of Austria are completed, and her armies arc said to he in readiness to take the field, should the con ferences at Laybach not have a pacific termination. Is. this uncalled fur army assembled to awe the King of Naples or not, and to have an unjust and impro per influence on the deliberations of Congress What legitimate right has Austria, or any other- Power, to interfere with the affairs of Naples or Spain ?—The Sovereigns of both Kingdoms have accepted the Constitution of their respective coun tries, whiclothey wish to perpetuate and enjoy with the pv.ople, and us 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 a•itlt the Con stitution, which he has accepted, then we are told the swim' is to be drawn. So that he must either violate a sokinn pledge, or expose himself to the point of the baymiet. Is this the pitiy of the Holy Alliance ► Is this the precious doctrine of the Pea ficators 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 bad sign to perceive the Nlinistetial Press of this Country support the confederated Sovereigns in such objects, and whose designs arc reprobated and condemned throughout Europe. Let them fulfil their promises to their own suhjects, and give them a Representa tive Government, and not attack the Independence of Kings and the Liberties of• their People. The preparations for the new expedition to the Arctic regions arc going on with the greatest cede. rite, anti, us in the titr►ucr one, no expense is spared in furnishing comforts, both in foal and clothing, for the intrepid navigators. The Fury, Capt. Parry, id now in Deptford dock doubling, and being rt.o.. tiered us fast and strong as wood anti iron will admit. The Urdu, Capt. Lyon, is already in that state, but will nevertheless be docked to be thoroughly exA. mined, and to have such repairs us may be necessary. Both ships a►'e fully manned with the choicest and best seamen, and so great was the ardour displayed, that more than dot . 11)1J the nomthm of vol:mieers. offered their services than could he accepted. Lieut. C. Palmer, who served in the late voyage, is appointed to the Heck Capt. Lyon. . . The tntormatitm from Lima received at l!mmov Ayres, teaches th»vo to the 15th of September. h was continued that Lord Cochrane and San Martin had effected u landing at l'iseo, but nothing further was known of their proceedings. nor were any favutirAle anticipations indulged regarding their • success in this long project,tl enterprise, in coos.- (pence of the mdureot the advices from Lima, and the territory tinder its omtruul. It appears that the constitution accepted Ly Ferdinand VII. in Old Spain. had ken promulgated in Lima and its dependencies. It had been declared with all the formalities belonging to so iml•ortant a change ; and the various public authorities, with the Viceroy at their head, had proceeded to act upon it. A requisition is in progress of Signature, to invite the Lord Mayor to call a public general meeting of mercl•ants, bankers, and tradets, ut the Egyptixt hall, to express the genuine sense of that body ota he present posture uf public aEitirs. _ • - iniaffia. ~._ ~.:.w<.~_ ti~ Y r.
