It seems always a matter of wonder to these scribes, that our situation should admit of being bettered a single degree. We should hail the escape of the country from misery, though slow and gradual, with as mach' pleasure as the triumphant publishers of these statements ; bet there' is always too much anticipation in the inferences drawn from these quarterly returns, and too little at.' gentian paid to the state of the remaining amounts from which the soma are taken, for us to venture on, joining its She congratulation upon these Improve. aisle. We are carefully informed that the total amount of the Custom payments in the quarter just' 'ended, exceeds that of the corresponding quarter of, 1817 by 91,0001. and that had not (unfortunately we suppose) the anticipation taken place of the large ewe of nearly 500,0001. on the Sugar Duties, at the close of the Christmas quarter, this amount would have been to add to the present quarter. This would have' shown an improvement of 000,0001. On looking beck to the manner in which various branches of the emcee bare been anticipated, a very common falser would discover many sums that, had they been to re.' eeivenow, might have been added to the listof receipts. But these are unluckily" gone like the years beyond the flood," and we shall see them no more. In the Ex cise (the ruinous operation of which has been seen in many instances) we are preseated with an improve vomit of 480,0001., and we understand (as the Mi oliteriel oracles say) there is reason to expect a - eilli greater improvement in the present quarter, when the Malt Duties (still charged tw.the . highest amount) shall bate been paid into the Exchequer. In the Stamps there Is an improvement of 95,0001. but in the Assessed Taxes there is only 49,0001., while in the Post'se there is a diminution ; .i-, ppm, a dif. faience the congratulators tell us 4 pip inconsiderable as probably to arise from causes purely accidental." The resell, however, of this dimioution in the corre spondence may not ibe quite so inconsiderable, and this, at least, is no pm? of the increase of trade. 'The whole of the " clear improvement"' thus proved to have taken place in the permanent Revenue is from 9,510,0001. to 10,249,0001., or rather only 739,0001., whilst the permanent demands of the State exceed its actual income as many millions. Is this a proof of permanent and increasing prosperity? It his been admitted in the House of Commons, that the additional Leather Tax has thrown out of em. ploy apwards of 70,000 poor persons. This, how. ever. is not adduced in the statements of our improve ments as an instance of the " augmenting wealth and indestry of the country." ____.....-- p.' French Papers to the 3d inst. have arrived, shwa ler lest. The Dake of WILLINGTON still ressaimai In Paris. Great preparations were making at the Hotel de le Repliers: for a ball which his Grace is to give there on Thursday nest, at which, it is said, the Princes end Princesses of the Royal Family, with the Ambassadors and other personages of Court and City, are expected to be present. This entertainment is probably intended as his Grace's adieu to the — French capital. The Chamber of Deputies was busily oceepied with the Badget. The tone and character of all the speeches indicate much uneasi ness upon the financial interests of France. M. DE LA BOURDONNATE, in the discussion of the 31st, ex pressed his astonishment at the utter disparity be tween the Estimates and the application of former Bmdgets. The Estimate of 1815 bad turned out to be Wholly fallacious; inasmuch as the espenditure of that year had been three times since presented to the consideration of the Chamber, to have its excesses above the Estimate supplied by Votes of Credit.— N. DE LA BOURDONNATE I after reprehending many acts of the Government, proposed the revision of the laws on the responsibility of Ministers ; until this was done, be could not support their measures. M. LAIITTIE, the banker, spoke with his usual know: ledge of finance, and with eminent ability, on the details of the Budget, and on the magnitude of the existing and contingent defalcations to be provided for.Re MINI broadly the total impossibility of ... lIPMII7.

This total deficit width he awoossoced for 1818 woubi amount to 270,000,000, whereas the 16,000,000 of rake* to be isejetlpted would cover only a capital of 103,000,000. The Budget of 1819 is calculated by, M. Lawman 1,085,000,000, constituting an excess of charge over ways and means of no less than 307,000,000—a deficit which the Learned Financier supposes can hardly be supplied by a Loan. In 1820, be hints it the posiibility of the State becoming in solveat: he sin reverts strongly to what Frenchmen of all parties consider the grand grievance of the pre .sent day, and insists on the removal of the Army of Occupation by the ensuing month of November. The policy and justice of this measure are now angst's lionablY apparent, and if it be true that the Ministers of Lows, who have undoubtedly the deepest interest in the tranquillity of France, are satisfied, that with. oat the influence of a foreign army, they cars main tabs the King upon his Throne, and the peace of the interior * certainly nothing can be more absurd, un profitable:lnd mischievous thsn•tlse keeping up of a mass of armed (ncliner, on the toil of France. On Wednesday a Petition was reported from 'the .. Sieur BRISSOT TUIVARS, of Rouen, stating that ht► , was arrested at Paris on the 24th February last, it 11 o'clock at night, and his papers seized ; anti.that on his being carried before the Juge d'hutruction, he was interrogated respecting a conspiracy against the life of the Duke of iirst.ramozotr. There was no charge against him arising oat of this interrogatory, but the same day a work of his, entitled The Recal of the Exiles, was seized, and on the 27th February he was 'gala carried before the Juge d' Instruction to be interrogated respecting his book. The Peti tioner was sent to La Force, end his application for being released upon bail was refused. He urged in his Petition, that if there was any charge against him respecting the affair relative to the Doke of 'WELzirwrols, he ought to be proceeded against ac cording to law ; and if, on the other hand, his de. tention was on account of his book, the proceedings were irregular, and he therefore complained of a violation of the laws. The Committee were of opinion that it was altogether an affair for the ordin ary Tribunals, that the Petitioner • hed his remedy if he was illegally imprisoned, and therefore they pro posed to the Chamber to pass to the order of the day, which was @greed to without any opposition. These Papers stale that a general arming is taking place in the three Biscayan provinces of Mara, Big. cay, and Guipuscoa, by direction of the Go►ernment. The ancient privileges of the Biscayens exempted them, from the general military organization. They had no Royal troops among them eacept in war, and no recruiting, as the population were arneeri for their own defence. •What this arming, if the re ports' be correct, can mean, we know not. If there were disaffection in Biscay, it would hardly be adopted. There can be no danger of an invasion across the Pyrenees. There may he a view, when the People are armed, of seducing numbers of them to enter the regular army, and go to assist the un promising campaigns in South America.

A private communication from Paris states that i" • NI• DE TALLEY RAND, is so chagrined at the fruitless. nese of his efforts to obtain ascendency neer the Councils of the king, that he proposes to make • visit to England.

It adds, the negociations on the private claims will not be concluded for a fortnight to come. Mails from liamburgh and Flanders hare also ar rived. The Bressels Papers of the 31st ultimo, state, ob the authority of a letter from Cambray, that the associations at Paris are concluded. TIRE KING'S HEALTlL—Saturday the Archbishop of CANTERBURY, the Archbishop of YORK, and other Members of the Queen's Council, assembled at Wind sor to receive the Report of the Physicians attending the King. Soon after four o'clock, the Archbishop of CANTERBURY, as President of the Council', Sl'. rived at the Quean's,Palace from Windsor and made .a Report to her Majesty of the proceedings of the Council. His Grace proceeded from the Palace to the Privy Council Office, to deposit the Report there, as directed by •the Regency Act, it being the Quar terly Meeting of the Council.

A great concourse of spectators were tumbled on the occasion. The men appeered in good health and spirits. Priated instructions have been prepared by Humphrey Davy and other scientific Gentlemen, ''the Officers and men on the &Widen. They _ extremely copious, and drawn up in the plainest and ,most; intelligible manner. The following are ez- Vr is USE OF THE ELECTRICAL APPARATUS. The analogy of the Aurora Borealis and Ass tralis to electrical light strongly impresses on the mind the probability of these phenomena being elec trical 'and it becomes an interesting question, wheth ' er the earth nay net pontes electrical as well as magnetic poles. An electrical apparatus is fur ;visited for each Expedition, in order to determine if there is any thing peculiar. in the electticity of the at mosphere in the polar regions. The use of this ap paratus must be obvious, from its simple construc tion :.it consists of a chain of copper, attached by glass to a rope, 1.-y which it is to be elevated so as to be out of the reach of conductors, and as fist as possible shove the surface of the vessel and the water • the electrometers to which the chain is to be attached, are likewise iopulated. The sphete of the Valance is brought its contact with the brass ball when the instrument is to be used : the degree of re . pulsion will indicate the degree of electricity of the atmosphere. •a When the ball is obeeteed to be repelled, a stick of sealing wet is to be, sobbed with woollen cloth, and presented to the buss ball ; if the repulsion of the sphere. of the Wince - ceases, •or is diminished, the electricity is positive ;if • it be increased, the electricity is negative. •The - observation• should he registered in a journal, and the experiments made at different times in the twenty-four hoofs; and the state of the weather, temperature of the barometer, clouds, &c. at the time, noted. a• When the balance does not indicate electricity, the gold leaf electrometer may be tried. If the re pulsion of the leaves is increased by rubbed sealing was, the ekdricity is negative; if the contrary, the electricity is positive." USE OP THE APPARATUS FOR TAXING UP SEA WATER FROM GIVEN DEPTHS. "The possibility of reaching the Pole by the Expe dition, must depend upon this circumstance, whether there is at the Pole an ocean so deep, that the heat stored up in it during the sit months of summer, is sufficient to prevent the formation of ice upon it in winter. if there be such an ocean, the waters of it must greatly expand during summer, and the laws of the motion of the earth would tend to pour them through the narrow seas ne channels separating Asia from America, and Spitab•tgen from Greenland. If a current is foetid, it will consequently be of great importance to ascertain if the great body of it be comparatively fresh, or salt; and for Ibis purpose deeper parts of it • should be examined, for the snow or ice-water may float at the surface, and salt water be beneath. " The apparatus sent with the Espedition, consists of a copper vessel furnished with a stop cock, which is opened Ity a piston moving in• conetieence of the compression of air when the ialtranteat is sunk in the sea. The piston may be setio as weaned the water horn five to eighty fathoms. As the Totems of elastic fluids ass inversely as their compressing weights, and as the compression of shout 3'2 feet of water diminishes the volume of air to one half, the gradation will point out the use of the instrument. It is needless to say, that the temperature of the water, as well as all other circumstances, should be registered. " If the current be ice cold, and comparatively fresh, there con he little hope of reaching a deep sea in that direction." OF THE STATE OF THE ATMOSPHERE IN HIGH NORTHERN REGIONS. 66 As there can be little or no change frem vegeta. ble or animal life or decomposition in the polar at mosphere, it will be interesting to ascertain the re lative proportions of ozygene, note, ■nd carbonic acid is the air, as well as the nature of the air 's pelled from sea water. An apparatus for the ana. lysis of air is sent with the Espedition. The use of it is so simple, that a description of it is unneces sary." A variety of tables of calculation of every descrip tion that can possibly be required, forma part of the instructions. Friday Lord MELVILLE, Admiral Sir G. COCK BURN, and the Comptroller of the Navy, Sir BYAM MARTIN, visited the dock•yard at Sheerness, and in spected the new works and improvements making there. The dock-yard at Chatham also underwent a similar inipection ; after which his Lordship and the other Gentlemen returned to Woolwich by water, and from thence to town. Saturday's Gazelle contains the customary periodi cal admonitions against enticing artificers to leave the kingdom, and against the exportatiou of the im plementa used in certain manufactures. We have ascertained, says the Courier of Saturday night, that a report had reached Bombay at the date of the last dispatches, which stated that the troops of the Rajah of Beata had made, an attack upon the British Subsidiary Force, stationed at' his capital, Nagporp. They had, however, been repulsed.
