At a late hour last night the French Papers arrived ; from which we have made the following extracts:— [Fran the Etoik, dated Wedne?..day, July B._ The answer of the Reis Effendi has been printed /0.1. dirto/uia • by order of the Diet of Frankfort, as well as the exposition of the Rumania policy in this whole affair. The Turkish note, in answer to 31. de 31inz;acky, is full of deference. There is nothing the Porte would not do to oblige its friend the Emperor Nicholas. It is astonished that its conduct towards the Servian Daputi.?s should have given umbrage ; it never zatendecl anything more than to place them in safety. As.soon as it was known that Russia took an interest in their fate, entire liberty was given them to fix their risititmce in a house belonging to them at Constantinople. Two Journals have announced changes in the French Em. bastes to two great Powers; we are authorized to (helve that these statements have no foundation. We have inquired Into the to trdation of the news given by the QtinfhTienne, that the Et( been prohibited at Rome. The I:1(Ale is circulated at Rome as It used to do. iFroll the Piker.] The Lausanne Gazette anm.uncee thrt the inhabhants of the Payi de Vaud have sent to the Greeks, through the committee of that torn, 170,000 lbs of bread, and 200,04.10 ball cartridges. Rear-Admiral Jacob, late Governor of Martinique, has arrived a: 13rest, on board the Thames frigate. FRENCH Fu Nos.—Pants, Ju 4.—Five per Cents, 08f. 3 per Cents, 6.51. 71k. ; Bank Stock, 2002 f. 60c ; Rentesde Naples, 75c.; Royal Spanish Loan, 45; !lariat) Loan 720.—From L'Ettrilr. • A term adored to signify those printed documents, the know ledge of which is exclusively reserved for the 31inisters of the Diet. That taxation must increase distress is a fact which cannot be doubted, and that it has increased the distress of this country during the late crisis is equally beyond dis pute. Some persons argue that the country is not im poverished by taxation, because all the money raised by taxes is spent within the country, and returns, by the pur chase of luxuries, to the industrious classes, from whom it was levied. This view is fallacious: it is precisely similar • to tbe vulgar error, which has so frequently beep dressed in a philosophical shape, that the erection of useless rubiic works, and extravagant private expenv , s, are bene ficial to the body politic, because they circulate money, and are good, as it is said, for trade. It is of very great iinportance to the public, not only that money should be spent, if possible, in the country, but that it should be spirt in the most useful manner ;• and every shilling that gees to the support of mere luxury, whether derived from tip.. national or private revenue, is doubly detrimental to ti e country, by wasting the money itself in the first place, and in the second place by wasting the labour em ployed in consequence of it. To raise money by taxes, tnerehne, and afterwards to spend it in maintaining wars (.1 other expenses of Government, except in so far as these are indispensable, is an absolute loss at once of the amount vt taxes, of the useful labour to which the money nould have given rise, and of the productive labour many of those who are stippqited on the revenue of the State. It is consequently of the utmost im portance that nu, greater sum should be raised in taxes than is absolutely necessary for defraying the unavoidable expenses of the Government. Those who aim at a refine . tiou of taxes, however, take too narrow a view of the sub ject, and in their anxiety to reduce, are sometimes led into worse evils than those from which they wish to escape. 'lt sometimes happens in the affairs of nations, as in those ' of individuals, that an over-anxiety to save is the surest way to produce loss. Those who are so anxious to find faults in every thing, and who examine accounts only to object to them, may easily detect many in stances in which a different mode of expenditure might have caused less waste of the public money ; but if the course which they pointed out bad been pursued, are they sure that no greater inconveniences would have arisen than even this waste, admitting it to be a waste? It is not in politics only that we find ourselves reduced to a choice of evils ; for there is no course of action in any department of life to which some objection may not be made, and we should never act at all if we did not reconcile ourselves to some evils. In making these remarks, we do not allude to any instance of mismanagement with Which Government has lately been charged. Mr. Hum E's conduct, in visiting the sins of all their predecessors on the heads of the present Ministry, was too gross an injustice to impose upon any one. The CliaNcra. ton of the EXCHEQUER certainly did leave that point unanswered, as the Times has asserted ; and if he were bound to answer for things which passed so long before he had any control over the expenditure, he might be called upon next to account for the secret service money of Sir Rosser IVA Leo'. e. Mr. HUMS, is a very useful and a very painstaking man. He is an inimitable check upon the subordinate clerks in public offices. Ile superintends most admirably the processes of addition and subtraction. His talents are useful in so far; but we do not think that these are the talents which enable a man to conduct the affair' of a nation. Ile is an admirable regulator of the po litical machine, but he would be miserable as a pritrisun mohi:e. In listening to his arguments, we must be cautious' lest by too near an economy we should be led into mea sures which would soon convince us of the impolicy of such parsimony. On the occasion of the Quarter's Revenue, we shall probably hear of the deductions to be made from the favourable side of the account, and of the additions to be made to the expenditure. But we are satisfied that the good sense of the public will not be led astray by the gloomy prospects which the Opposi tion journals may present to them, anti will avoid render ing our calamities greater by the despair which would ne cessarily arise from the too dismal view of the subject, which is, ha fact, a matter of comparative congratulation. CITY, THURSDAY EVENING. The deficiency in the Revenue, which had been so loudly trumpeted forth by the Hem, being much less than was antici. pated, caused a marked improvement in the funds. From 7 8 they went up to 791 ; and although they did not maintain that price to the conclusion of business, still they closed firmly at 7Rd• It is stated that 700 warrants arc paying this day at the Custom House. on the new silk duty. AU foreign Securities have advanced ; but the greatest improve ment has taken place in Mexican Bonds, wbich have advanced to 48; ('olombiau to 311 ; Brazil to 53 ; Danish to 533 ; Rus sian to 7W, ; Spanish to 73 8; Greek to 11. There were no arrivals by express from Paris. The private lettcts from Naples. received this morning, dated June 2.0, state that a new Tariff has appeared there, putting an ad ditional duty on all colonial produce; also a tax on the shop keepers, merchants, lawyers, Bc. which has caused great sensa. tion in that capital. Buenos Ayres Papers to the 3.1 of May, and Sydney Papers to the sth of March, have been received at the North and South Ame rican Coffee-house. The former do not contain any news. The Sydney Papers give intelligence from Botany Sty, announcing the arrival, after a tedious passage, of the Sydney packet with linbart Town Gazettes, which state that the Bushrangers were still carry ing on their devastations. The German mail of this day is barren of political intelligence, but gives a very desponding account of the wool fain at Leipsig and lireolau. Several respectable houses in this branch of con. merce have suspended payment; and, front the depression in price, a^tl the quantity on hand, still further embarrassments may be expected. The .lirrirpr 11 des Debuts of Sunday states, that Lord Cochrane had collected a fl eet of eight ships off Cape St. Vincent, and that he expected to be in Greece towards the end of June. Iris Lordship's flag-ship is said to be a steam-vessel of 400 tons, mounted with large guns on Per kins's principle. Bombay Papers to the 21st of February have been re ceivcxl, but they only contain the accounts of the affair at Melloun, which have already reached us from Calcutta, added to the assertion that the army zommeneed its march on Cmmerapoora on the 24th ult. One of the letters from Rangoon mentions a curious fact, that the treaty of peace said to have been forwarded to Ava for ratification was found in the stockade. But if this were true, it would surely have been mentioned in Sir A. Campbell's official despatch. Letters from Martinique state, that some negroes from that island having seized a boat, ventured to sea in quest of liberty, and were fortunate enough to reach the liaytian coast. The French authorities immediately claimed them, but the President refused to deliver them up, as the Con stitution declared that every man who touched the Ilaytian soil was free. At the same time lie sent back the boat, and every article which they had carried away with them, admitting that the prerogative only extended to their persons. _ Boieoucti or MALDON.—Mr. Quintin Dick, who made so formidable • struggle for the honour of representing this Borough at the late election, has publicly declared his intention of preferring a petition to Parliament against the return of Thomas Barrett Lennard, Esq., on the ground of undue means having been resorted to for obtaining votes on behalf of that gentleman. Sine LETTESS.—An order has just been issued from the Board of Customs, instructing the Tide Surveyors of this port to take possession of and deposit in the Post Office, all letters brought in vessels from abroad, imme diately on their arrival in the Clyde ; and th e M ag i s t rates of Glasgow have been requested to direct the pilots of the river to give notice to all masters passing up the river, to deliver the letters they bring to the Officers of Customs, upon their coming on board and demanding the same. The Tide Surveyors are also enjoined to convey such let ters the same evening to the Post Qffice, taking the Post master's receipt for the same, in which the name of the ship and the number of letters taken from each are to be specified, and to communicate with the Post Office Sur veyor of the district, in regard to such further directions as may be issued on this subject by the Postmaster Ge neral.—Livespoof Paper. The weather during the past week has been oppressively warm and dry, with the exception of some rain which fell on Saturday last, which was exceedingly refreshing for the time, but falling upon land so long parched up, and in many places presenting the appearance of a barren heath, its effect was scarcely visible an hour afterwards. Great distress prevails on this and the opposite shore of Cheshire for want of water for domestic purposes; and were it not for the hitherto .abundaut supply which Liverpool receives from the Corporation and Bootle Waterworks Companies, we should be in a miserable condition in the town. We would, at the same time, recommend as sparing a use of water as may be consistent with domestic necessities, dur ing the continuance of such extreme drought. Prayers were offered up in our churches, on the last and preceding Sundays, to the Divine Being, for rain. It is somewhat re markable, that the wheat looks well, notwithstanding the long dry season; but other crops, it is to be feared, will be very deficient. The hay harvest may be said to be over, which, we regret to state, is very light indeed.—Liverpool Courier. It was announced a short time since, in one of the French Journals, that the following experiments were tried with a finale, whose fire-withstanding qualities have ex cited much astonishment. She was placed, it appears, in an oven, into which lire cats, dogs, and rabbits were con• veved—the poor animals perished almost instantly, while the fire-queen bore the beet wi:hout complaining. 17 SRA' • sec THE BRITISH PRESS. ,-----,. :: "*._..- 7 4 P r- 4:11W "'" r -12 ; - ... 1. 4 G --- * ..- _______ ALM ACK S.

ENGLISH OPERA HOUSE. A very pretty two act melo-drama, under the title of Tlx Last Guerilla, was brought out at this theatre last night. The piece is founded on one of the tales of the O'Hara Family, the scene of which, as our readers must be aware, lies in Ireland ;but, if reports are true, the author has been compelled to alter the luau with regard to the play, and lay hi: scene in Spain, although the charismr and ineidenta ars ..exactly the same as those of the tale. The melo-drama was heard throughout with great attention, which was, indeed, its due, and it was announced for repetition amidst universal applause. The Duke of York, we arc happy to say, continues better, and is able frequently to ride out in an open car riage. Yesterday, Sir Herbert Taylor, his Royal Highness's Military Secretary, transacted military business with the Royal Duke, a great pan of the day, at Mr. Greenwood's villa, at Brompton. We understand, his Royal Highness rode to the Earl of Mansitaicri house, near Hampstead, on Sunday, and partook of gm early dinner. The Royal Duke received a visit on. Sunday from the Lord Chan cellor. Doctors Halford and M'Gregor constantly attend his Royal Highness, and occasionally Dr. Warren is called in, who attended a consultation last Saturday. At an early hour yesterday morning a King's Messen ger arrived in Downing-street, with despatches from Con stantinople, which were forwarded to Mr. Secretary Can ning, at Mr. Planta's house, at Fairlight, near Hastings, where Mr. Canning went from London on Wednesday morning, and Mrs. Canning arrived the same day from Brighton. The Marchioness of Clanriearde left town yesterday morning, for Mr. Planta's house, to join the company of her father and mother, Mr. and,Mrs. Canning. EA cr. Fl TZWII.I.I Ax.—We regret to learn, that the sub scription for the relief of the distressed artisans and others in Sheffield, falls far short of the exigencies of the meri torious objects for whom the money has been solicited. The demands for help increase daily, and the supply di minishes in p►oportion. 'the issues of tickets for flour, oatmeal, and bread, last week, exceeded 135/., besides the wages of upwards of fifty able-bodied and willing-minded cutlers, engaged upon the burying-ground at St. George's church. Upwards of one hundred more have offered them selves to labour on the site of the intended church (St. Mary's), near Brammal-lane. The Committee having applied, through their Chairman, to the never-failing friend of Sheffield in every time of need, Earl Fitzwilliam, though his Lordship had already subscribed Sot)!. to the general fund in London, for the relief of distressed manu facturers, Ike. that benevolent Nobleman immediately transmitted the following brief but characteristic letter to the Rev. Thomas Sutton : _ _ Milton, June, 102.6. Dear Sir,—l send enclosed a bill for 200/. as my mite towards the relief of the artisans of Sheffield. What I owe to them can never be out of my recollection. The cup has its appointed station at Wentworth, and stands as the perpetual record of our mutual attachment, and will ever bring to my mind the debt of gratitude which I owo to them In so eminent a degree. 1 am, dear Sir, very truly, your most obedient, &c. WENT WORTH FITZWILLIAM. Rev. Thomas Sutton. Tuesday evening, about eight o'clock, as Sir Godfrey Webster, Bart , and Mr. Cafe; were sailing in a small hired yacht, off the Royal ClasOnoe-rooms,Southsea, a very sudden squall of wind came on, when, from the unskilful ne•s of the two seamen on board, the vessel was thrown on her beam-ends, and sunk in sight of many hundreds of persons, who watched with Intense anxiety the exertions made from different vessels and boats to reach the spot. We are happy to say Sir Godfrey was safely taken from the shrouds, with the loss of his hat only. His friend, Mr. Cuffe, after sinking, caught bold of the boat, which luckily (11l not go clown. The inenNvere also picked up by some of the officers of the 53i1 Regiment, who were near the spot in their yacht. It was very fortunate that the acci dent happened where so many paztics are constantly plea suring. Had it not been for the very prompt and praise worthy exertions of those who witnessed the accident from oilier yachts, Sir Godfrey must have shared the fate of Mr. Baring, two or three years since, at Lulworth, where no assistance was at hand. Sir Godfrey and his friend joined in the promenade at the Royal Clarence-rooms within an hour after the accident, and were congratulated by all present on their escape frem danger. Savory, the Bristol merchant, who was convicted of for gery lest year, and sentenced to transportation for life, is safely arrived at Van Dieinen's Land, and comfortably situated under Governor Arthur. At a short distance from Bordeaux, on the banks of the Garonne, a cavern has recently beet. discovered, which con tained the bones of a tyger and hyena. lltcu PRETENPIONB —A grotesque little personage lately paid his addresses to the daughter of a wealthy hair dresser at the West End. The parent favoured the views of the suitor, who declared himself to be a paper•-hanger in a large way. The nuptials were solemnized, when the newly-made husband turned out to be a till-oikker!

DE CHATS With reference to what we mentioned in our last, respecting the opinions given by Mr. Gladstone, in his speech from the hustings at Berwick, on the subject of our Corn and Navigation Laws, we have now that gentleman's authority to state, that the opinions he then expressed on these important subjects were, as nearly as he can now recollect, to the following effect : Mr. Gladstone stated, that it was his opinion that the revision of the Cnrn Laws would be taken into consideration in the ensuing Session of Parliament, it being equally the interest of the grower and consumer that the etuestion shouln be put to rest with the least possible delay. 'I he due protection of the agricultural interests he considered as Indispensable for the general welfare of the country. The great objects to be aimed at appeared to him to be regularity of supply and steadiness of price, as far as the un avoidable uncertainty of the -seasons permitted ; that, whilst the system ought to be such as would afford sufficient protection and t fair remuneration to the home grower, the interests of the coo sumer required to be equally guarded; that he, for one, never would consent to a permanent unrestricted tretle in foreign corn, whatever rates of fixed duty might be proposed to be attached to it, as he considered such a measure would work to the injury of all; that, in his judgment, there ought to be a marl- taunt of price fixed, which should be considered as evidence of scarcity, when all duty on foreign corn should cease, and free importation be permitted, as necessary for the protection of the el:trimmer, who, in addition to high price, ought not then to be further burthened with duly. That there ought, also, to be a fixed minimum price, when importation should terminate as necessary for the home-grower'a protection ; the litst would be evidence of the necessity for foreign supply ; the last, that the home supply was more than adequate to the demand. That whilst the average prices fluctuated between these extremes, the importa tion of foreign corn should be permitted, subject to a graduated scale of duties. commencing with a 'given rate at the middle point, increasing as the prices fell, and diminishing as they advanced, until they reached either extreme. He (Mr. Gladstone) thought some such system would generally be productive of a moderate but regular trade in foreign corn, in which, as there would exist no positive necessity for it, the prices here would govern those at the shipping ports (whilst the reverse must necessarily he the conse quence when such supplies are called for and rendered necessary from deficiency here), and would, probably, tend to preserve greater steadiness in price, with more regular supply, without injury to the home-grower, or undue temptation to extend his cultivation ; he (Mr. Gladstone) taking it for granted, the scale of protecting duties would be made ad, quite to these objects, as in his judg ment neither grower or . consumer could be benefited at the ex. pense of the other, without ultimately causing injury to both. What the limits in price and duties ought to be, it would require the consideration and wisdom of Parliament to determine. He (Mr. Gladstone) had his opinions upon the subject ; but, having explained the principles on which they rested, it was unnecessary then to trouble them further; nevertheless, as it was a question in which the port of Berwick was deeply interested, as the outlet for the produce of a great agricultural district, he was desirous that his sentiments should be made known to all those whom he then had the honour of addressing. With regard to the changes in our Navigation Laws, he con fessed he felt great apprehension of serious injury being inflicted on out shipping interests by the arrangements' letely entered into with the Northern Powers, notwithstanding his high respect and almost to limited confidence in the great talents, experience, knowledge, and judgment of those distinguished statesmen by whom . the ar rangements were made. As fir as the reciprocal system was ex tended to the South of Europe and America, lie (Mr. Gladstone) thought we might, probably, be able to maintain a fair rivalship ; but, as regarded all to the northward of France, it promised to be far otherwise; there, the expense of building and fitting their ships Was lass than half the cost of ours. while their seaman's wages and provisions were not much above one-third of what we had to pay ; he, therefore, thought it impossible for us to support a competition under such overwhelming disadvantages; that hitherto, whilst we could not do more than live by such a trade, our rivals reaped large profits, which withd continue to be invested in the creation of new ships, until their number became adequate to the te/tok c ,rrying trade between this and their respective countries, to our ultimate and entire exclusion. It might be said there was only a choice of diffi culties, and that if we laid udtlitional burtitens on their ships in our ports, they would counteract them by similar duties on ours ; but it ought to be recollected that it was chiefly, and with some almost wholly, in the United Kingdom that those countries could find a market for their produce, while most of them discouraged the importation of our productions, and took but little in return ; they were, therefore, the more likely, from necessity, to submit to our terms (as they had hitherto done), had they been persevered in, and where SU restricted a choice was left them, that, in case of need, we could draw supplies of similar products from other quarters, and particularly our own colonies. Pile. Gladstone further thought, that the extent of our trade, in British ships, with those countries, as carried on hitherto, wax not a correct criterion to judge by ; as the evil was now only about to continence working its way on an extended and effectual scale ; that some time would necessarily be required for the creation of the means to enable it to reach its full extent—fatal extent, he thought he might add (for such he feared it would ultimately prove), to that great flubs of Bridal shipping hitherto employed in our trade with the North of Europe, whilst it would foster and protect the increase and growth of the commercial marine of those nations who had been opposed to us in war, amid therefore might be so again. In these forebodings he hoped he might prove to be mistaken ; but, after much consideration, he could not remove them from his mind. He (Mr. Gladstone) was AS anxious as any man could be to adopt a liberal system of cons meter, and to remove all undue and unnecessary restrictions on our intercourse with other countries ; but, hem the artificial state in which we were placed, with a mighty debt upon our shoulders, and an immense revenue to raise, It was not less necessary to preserve protection than to remove undue restriction, and to take care that the one, in the courme of our experiments, was not ads taken for the other.—.l.ieerpttel courier. lA. rp. , A Romance, written by M. de Chateaubriand twenty vears ago, entitled A rentur e s deb Dernier Abeneeroce, has just appeared.

The journey took fourteen days, thrag which ten nights were passed in the open air, in a most deligintid country, but where the night, are eery cold. At Csnnelon leagues from Monte Video), and at St. Joseph (20 leagues), the people were received with an enthusiasm that is not to be de. scribed. Next day arrived ten waggons with clothing, shoes. and stockings, for men, women, and children. The Ga. vernment made all the necessary arrangements at La VacaA, and I arrived there safe with four vessels. One of toy si.i; with forty single men on board. was pursued by a Brazilian pc 3. boat. The men ranged themselves upon deck each with a s:i. his shrmlifer, and the Brazilians. in their fright, taking the slicks for muskets, presently sheered off: At Buenos Ayres the rejoic: - g really began.
