Letters from Naples state, that a political change in the system of the Government seems to he iu preparation. In consequence of this change, ear nestly desired by Austria, that Power will consent to diminish its army of occupation. Its priocipal force will be concentrated in Lombardy. It is gene rally believed stNaples that a new Ministry is on the point of being forins.d. under the direction of M. de Medici. This Statesman enjoys, at the same time, the confidence of the Neapolitan people and that of the Cabinet of Vienna. The rive which has taken place here in the price of Neapolitan Securi ties, in the exchange. affords considerable confir- Motion to these statements.—(Quotidiearte./ PETERSBURGH, APRIL 45. " The enormous burden of an army on the war footing in time of peace begins to be felt. We bear all the charges of war, without enjoying any of the advantages which war would procure us. Such a state of things most in time become insupportable, and that time is fast approaching. Had it not been for the personal disposition of the Emperor Alexander, the string which bends the bow so strongly would long since have given way. 'lt is to the humane wish of preventing the blood of innocent victims from flow ing with that of the guilty that many of our pro vinces mast attribute the painful situation in which they are now placed, and which thel bear patiently, because their confidence in their Sovereign is un bounded. Oor Cabinet has, perhaps. shown too much moderation, and by its eagerness to maintain peace, has uselessly sacrificed oessipart of its. measures to that expensive state of peace, which is now to be exchanged for one of war. We feel no anxiety, how ever respecting the issue orthe contest. We possess every requisite to make .the Ottomans repeat the mad delirium into which their bliachwas lss,pluaged them. Our armies may be considered as the first in ►he world; for eight months they have been prepared, exercised, and animated for the great conflict ; they are abundantly provided with every requisite ; the battalions sad squadrons are all completed ; add to this the inexpressible ha tred, or rather the fury with which oar soldiers are inspired ■t the mere name of Turk, their eager longing. to satiate their rage, and the persua sion of the whole nation of the justice of the cause in which it is desirous to embark, and of the object which it is purposed to attain, and you will measly foresee the results of the contest. The Emperor Alexander, who is adored by the soldiers, has al ready caused the army to be informed that he shall join it as soot, as the first shot shall be fired. The Russian Staff Officer. and the General. of Divisions and Brigades have no doubt of the struggle being long and sanguinary, as they well kuow that the Turks unite to the greatest bravery an extraordinary degree of enthusiasm." An article of the 26th ult. from Odessa states, that instead of ;Ong way to the solicitations of the mediatory Ambassadors, the Reis Effendi had sent back to Count Lutzow the Note of the 48th of Fe bruary, with ink-blots purposely made, that .it might be transmitted a second time to the Court of Vienna. The Divan seems more and more con. winced, on account of the continual negocietitiet carried ou by the A minima : lots of Christian Powers, that the .whole of Christendom would be drawn int o • general war, if hoetihties should break nut be tween Turkey snd Russia. It therefore looks upon the prestlnt occasion as a favourable moment to op pckse I!

MAT es, ism The Russian co►respondence in the Paris Papers deplores the enormous expense of the military pre parations against Turkey, and urges the necessity of bringing matters to a conelusion. The Rus sians certainly have not evinced in this case " an ignorant impatience of taxation," for we must pre sume that it is only by taxes this expense can be defrayed. Giving the Government of the country full credit for energy sod frugality, we may how ever be allowed to feel surprise at the apparent fa cility with which so great an operation has been effected, end until the prment moment submitted to by the people without complaint. When the Emperor ALEXANDER was called upon to fight pro aris and foci; to contend for his very exist ence with an unrelenting foe, he could not move ■ man without the pecuniary assistance of England ; ■nd in his subsegnent visit to this country, it is confidently reported he declared, that had be been aware of its wealth, he would not have stirred without double the sum he received.— Russia now presents a vary different picture; she is not culled upon to fight; her existence as a na tion is not threatened, and yet her armies hive been fur months in motion, and endured all the toils, privations, and expenses of an arduous cam paign, while the Government professes that in stead of seeking war it is most anxious to avoid it. We confess our inability to solve those apparent inconsistencies. When the Emperor ALEXANDER declared, in the late war, that he was unable to take the field without the aid of Englund, did he impose upon the weak ness a n d credulity of our Ministers ? If l►e did not, from what sources has lie been enabled to make the extraordinary military exertions of the last mix months? These exertions are not confined to the equipment of an army of thirty or forty thousand men ; they embrace the assemblage of the whole military force, scattered over the great em. pire of Russia, its march to the southern provinces, sod its cooceutretion on the banks of the Danube. Among the nations of europe who have exerted theinselves as friend* and mediators to avert the horrors of (Detail warfare, Ragland is conspicuous, influenced, no doubt, by the laudable motives of gratitude and affection fur its old friend and ally, the Grand Seignior. Is it not, then, possible, that its the event of the success of her good offices, Russia may some bow or other Ivy claim to some pecu. Mary aid from England, di-eetly or indirectly. in return for the ab4udonment of an enterprise which she has incurred such great expense to achieve. This may appear, and probably is, a very idle notion ; hut when we recollect that the Ministers who offered a million PI money to Louts XVIII. for his consent to the immediate abolition of the Slave Trade, instead of • period of a few years to come, are still at the helm, we should not be sur prised at any case, however weak, being found • suf. ficieut pretence for the most excessive extravagance. Meetings for the purpose of taking into consitlev ration the present agricultural distre►s continue to be held in those parts of the country which suffer most severely from its pressure. From this number we have selected for particular notice the meeting of the hundred of Grinishoe, held on Monday at Alundford. in Norfolk. The Rev. Mr. 11Iswcous, wh o took an active pa►t in the discussion, made this important statement. He said, that "in 1792 the country was happy: its taxes were not seventeen million., he believed, but nineteen millions : its circulating medium was between thirty and forty millions. At present the circulating me dium was not more, it had been stated ia the House of Commons, than thirty-five millions, and taxation was at least fifty millions. So that if all the taxes ware required to be paid in one day, there would not be enough currency in the country for it by fifteen million.."

Too laugh awl too little are salshe, according in these natists,. productive of injnry, and fling more gall both tha bitter cop of life. That an ahoudsnee of the blessings of Providence should be a curse to the country, false philosophy and mis taken policy alone alone would avow. That this abundance may be detrimental to the system of government, every one may safely admit; but it must at the same time be admitted, that such go vernment is imperfect. Whether it be vice or weakness, all must allow that there is something rotten in the state in which such anomaly exist.. The bad habits of landlords, and the malpractices of agents and ntiddlemen, are become proverbial in Ireland. It is high time to reform these abuses. Let Government be generous, !relent] will be grate ful—let it be good, and it will be contented—let it make the life of the minion and Labourer happy, and it will not need force to preserve its existence, nor the arm of power to enforce its lows. The debates and decisions of the House of Cam mans are assuming every day a more interesting complexion ; but the interest is painful. Time was when the financial arrangements of Government were considered merely as they affected the liberty of the subject ; now they are important u they touch his comforts ; nay more, his very existence. It is impossible to conceal, and no one attempts to deny the fact of national embarrassment ; to get rid of the burden is impracticable, and all that could be done by the wisest Legislature is se to modify and arrange its pressure that it be not abso lutely ruinous. Mach as we , are absorbed with oar own diSeed ties, we caanot help turning some thoughts of com passion to the lonian islanders, who are, by a pects. liar phraseology, said to be placed wader ou► pro. tection. It is somewhat difficult, we confess, is discern in this case the difference between a pro- tected and a conquered country. We ►hould like to know, if now they are protected, how they would be situated if that protection were withdrawn?
