IN-CHIEF OF THE SECOND ARMY, RESPECTING THE TAKING OF THE TOWN OF VASSILIKO*, ON THE 21ST OF THE SAME MONTH (AUGUST 2). The Posspeshnoy frigate having taken on board four companies of the Kamtschatka regiment of in fantry, set sail on the night of the 20th (August 1), in company with the Orpheus brig, for Vassiliko. In the case of meeting the Meteor steamer, on board of which was Lieutenant-Colonel Burno, of the Engineers, who had been sent out to make a more correct survey of the whole of the enem y' s coast from the canal-of Constantinople, Lieutenant- Captain Koltovskoi, the commander of the frigate, was, among other instructions, directed to request that officer to co-operate in the reduction of Vas siliko. The frigate fell in with the steamer on this side of Vassiliko, and Lieut.-Colonel Burno, on re ceiving my instructions, immediately took the com mand of the party for land operations, which con sisted of 115 men of the Kamtschatka regiment, and 85 sailors belonging to the guard and sailing crews of the frigate and the steamer, who were draughted to reinforce the land troops. On arriving before Vas siliko, Lieut.-Colonel Burno observed a band of 150 men pushing on rapidly to that place from Agatho polis. To prevent the junction of that party with the garrison of Vassiliko, he hastened the debarka tion, which, under the protection of the steamer, lying-to in an advantageous position, was success fully effected. " As SOON as our troops were fairly landed, they rushed f)rward against the enemy to turn him, and Intercept his retreat. The Turks, however, per ceived this movement, and quickly trade off. The Lieutenant-Colonel availed himself of this circum stance, and instantly occupied the heights which command the town, while the steamer and the boats employed in the debarkation, with their artillery, scoured the coast in front of the position taken up by our troops, arid thereby enabled them to obtain possession of the town itself, which was defended by a garrison of 300 men. Notwithstanding that this garrison was so superior to the detachment, the troops, animated by the most unexampled courage and zeal, and directed by the judicious dispositions of Lieutenant Colonel Burno, accomplished the ob ject of the expedition on which they were sent,with• out the slightest loss on our part." EXTRACT FROM ADMIRAL GREIG'S SECOND REPORT OF THE SAME DATE. " Your Excellency will have been pleased to ob serve in my report of the 23d (August 4), the dis positions I had made for the reduction of the forti fied town of Agathopolis. I- In consequence of the arrival of the Meteor steamer yesterday evening, I have received reports from Lieutenant-Colonel Burno, of the Engineers, and Lieutenant Captain laskakov, commander of the Flora frigate, from which I learn that this enterprise was successfully accomplished in the following manner:— " On the 23d (Aug. 4), the Flora cast anchor off Vassiliko, and on the same day landed the bat talion of the Kursk Regiment of Infantry. It was immediately determined by the Commanders of the frigates and Lieutenant-Colonel Burno, to attack Agathopolis on the following day. Accordingly, at nine in the morning the Flora and Posspeshnoy frigates got under weigh, and, notwithstanding a strong north-east wind, attacked the town on the sea-side, still keeping under sail. On the approach of our ships, the Turks opened a heavy cannonnade from their shore batteries, which in spite of the well-directed and effectual fire of our artillery, they kept up until they became suddenly aware of the position of our troops, who bad in the mean time taken possession of the heights that command the town. Immediately 800 cavalry made a rapid sally from the town towards Lieutenant-Colonel Burno's position. However, on the advance of the Lieutenant-Colonel with his detachment, the Turks wheeled round, and fled. After the enemy had thus been dispersed, Lieutenant- Colonel Burno having observed that the fire against our ships from the Turkish batteries was * To the south of Sizebolis. Or Agtepoli, to the south of Vassiliko. discontinued, he ordered the sailors of the Posspcsh noy placed under his command to march against the principal battery. This enterprise, notwithstanding the extraordinary difficulties which the rocks they had to climb over presented, was executed. When the enemy perceived this advance, he fled in the greatest disorder out of the town. Lieut.-Colonel Burno now detached Lieut.-Captain Baron Dirkins. with two companies of the Kamtschatka Regiment, under the command of Major Kamrer, to take pos session of the Convent of St. John the Baptist, si tuated OR the other side of the bay, which was sur rounded by a hedge and defended by some cannon. Here the Turks also abandoned their camp which surrounded the convent, and fled in the greatest ter ror. As we had no cavalry, the enemy could not be pursued, and therefore only five prisoners were taken, among whom was the commander of the Delis. " After the taking of Agathopolis, Lieutenant- Colonel Burno was enabled to perceive the great importance of the result of that success; for the Turks had in the town a garrison of nearly 1,200 men, and might have the more readily withstood a numerous enemy, as they expected in the course of that night a reinforcement of 2,000 men from Piady, and as our ships, in consequence of the high wind, could not come to an anchor in the road so as to co-operate vigorously against them. " We found in the town seven pieces of cannon, five of which were of brass, a great quantity of powder, cartridges, various other kinds of warlike stores, and about 50,000 oaks of flour. The detach ment under the command of Lieut.-Col. Burno con sisted of a battalion of Kurskis, two companies of the Kamtschatka infantry, 28 sailors belonging to thePoss peihnoy, and 16 of the guard crew, forming altoge ther about 800 men. The detachment had with it two pieces of light cannon, fitted for a landing, and which were under the charge of volunteers from the guard crew. Not one of our land troops was killed or wounded. Some of the rigging of the frigates was damaged by the cannonade from the enemy's batteries, and a sailor on board of the Flora was wounded. The Posspeshnoy had two shots in her stern, one of them between wind and water. " In conclusion the commander of the detach ment reports, that on the 25th (August 6) he sent two companies of the Kamschatka regiment to Vas siliko, where a redoubt, mounting three guns, has been constructed, to protect that town against any unforeseen attack, and that he will forthwith provide Agathopolis with sufficient fortifications. Thuogh according to the statements of the Greeks and our prisoners, the number of the Turks on the different points around Agathopolis is about 6,000 men, cavalry and infantry, yet that town is, in conse quence of the dread with which our daring enter prize has impressed the enemy, perfectly secure."

About two miles on the Portsmouth side of Petersfield an immense cut is now making through a solid chalk hill, called, we believe, Burston, which deserves to be publicly noticed. It seemed, as the coach passed by it, quite as large as the cut through Highgate-hill, but re quires more labour, inasmuch as chalk is more difficult to remove than loose alluvial soil. It is to be of the width of a road at the bottom, widening towards the top, and the cut is to be upwards of one hundred feet in perpendicular depth. The length of the cut of this extreme depth will be seventy feet ; but the whole length of the new road made by the excavation, and filling up the valley with the materials, will not be less than quarter of a mile. At the time the Highgate Tunnel was in progress it was com pared, and with justice, to some of the undertak ings of Bonaparte, of which such pompous ac , counts were alwaysgiven in the Imperial Journals. But we doubt if any part of the road over the Simplon, or of the road round the Maritime Alps, begun by him, and perhaps the more wonderful of the two—though, from the difficulty of ac cess, more difficult to execute—surpasses in magnitude the unnoticed cut near Petersfield. It has been in progress three or four years, and it will take between three and four years more to complete it, on account of no person being set to work at it, except the otherwise unemployed la bourers belonging to the neighbourhood. Such great experiments are begun and finished in this country as a matter of profit ; but the roads over the Simplon and around the Maritime Alps, were made pour la gloire nationale. The former are not necessarily honoured with any public ap probation, the latter are constructed only to be admired and praised. But, mark the difference between the permanency of these two operating principles. The conqueror, the hero, the wise legislator dies, and his works for the national glory are neglected, and fall to decay. The road over the Simplon is, we believe, already a ruin, and that round the Maritime Alps has never been completed. The wish for profit—in other words the desire of food —pervades all classes, and lives for ever. Undertakings dictated by it are never neglected as long as they, answer their purposes, and like the carriages and roads of Britain, are made better and better every day. r........ ) • P s s ` " C ' i',.. , S c ; ' S c ) `.

Ditto £506,927,129 That we may derive instruction from the above document, which exhibits the rise and progress of the national debt down to the conclusion of the war in 1814, many remarks, and a thorough examination of our system of finance, both past and present, will be necessary. From this document, and the information we derive from other sources, it appears,- 1. That the total debt at the end of the war in 1814 was 1,054,046,1841. ; but this sum in cludes the redeemed debt standing in the names of the Commissioners of the sinking fund, and leaves out exchequer bills, life annuities, and an nuities for terms of years. 2. That the net public revenue in 1814 was 61,215,242/. ; but then it must be remembered that the average price of gold throughout the years 1813 and 1814 was 101. 3s. 11d. per ounce ; and therefore the value of the Bank note was only 14s. 11d., and therefore the 61,215,2421. raised by taxes in the year 1814, had a real value of only 45,656,3681.; whereas the sum raised by taxes during the year 1828 amounted to 52,104,6421. 3. That in the year 1814 the income tax pro duced 14,000,0001., and the assessed taxes about 7,000,000/., but since that period the income tax has been wholly repealed, and the assessed taxes have been reduced, and produce now only about 4,000,000/. ; and so that IN hereas in 1814 the proportion which the direct taxes bore to the whole sum of taxation was as about 34 to 100 ; so in 1828 was the same proportion but as about 8 to 100. 4. That the two wars with France (the last ending in 1814) added 807,823,7921. to the national debt, in stock; and that the money re ceived for this stock was 506,927,129/. ; but part of the money so raised by loan was applied to the operations of the sinking fund. Such immense sums of money having been raised in this country by means of public loans, and the fact also being (however extraordinary it may appear) that the deeper we got into debt the greater facility we found in borrowing, I will now make a few observations on this mode of raising money by loan ; and then, if we coolly and carefully consider the matter, I believe we shall find that a loan is a voluntary tax, that is, a certain sum is furnished by the people voluntarily, and free of expence, which must otherwise have been exacted from them (and this at considerable expence) by the ordinary mode of taxation. And that this definition is correct, may very easily be made appear ; for when a tax is im posed, what is the result? Why, that a certain sum of money is collected at a certain expence, and which money is paid into the Treasury. W hat afterwards becomes of the money ? It is spent by the Government. So again, when a loan is negotiated, what is the result ? Why, that, voluntarily and free of all expellee, a certain sum of money is paid by the people themselves into the Treasury. What becomes of this money ? As in the former case, it is spent by the Government ; and therefore in both cases the thing raised is the same, and it receives the same application, and the only difference is this, —that in the one case the money is furnished willingly and free of expence, whereas in the other it is collected at considerable expence, and gives rise to no little grumbling. But then it is said that all loans carry interest. Now this would certainly be a very serious ob jection if the Government were to spend the in terest as well as the principal ; but this is not done, and the tax imposed for the payment of the interest is regularly returned to the commu nity in the shape of dividend, and throughout the whole affair of tax and dividend, the Govern ment merely acts in the capacity of trustee to the public for the purposes of assessment and distri bution, and its business is su to ord er matters that the man who has subscribed more to a loan than his quota would have amounted to if the money had been raised be a tax, shall he indem nified by him who has either subscribed nothing, or less than his quota would have amounted to if the money had been raised by a tax. And to say that this is injurious to the community, is to say that no man ought to be allowed to lend money at interest to another, when the purposes to which the money is to be applied is the pay ment of a tax imposed by the Government. Now that I reason right in this particular, may, I think, be proved without much difficulty. For let A have an income of 1,0001. per annum, and B also have an income of 1,0001. per annum, and then let there be an income tax imposed of 10 per cent., the quota of A to this tax will be 1001., and the quota of B will also be 100/. Then let A (finding an opportunity to em ploy his capital in an advantageous manner) bor row 1001. (his quota of the tax) of B at 4 per cent. interest, and then it is clear that B will have paid the income tax of A, and the whole !natter will stand in this way--that B will have parted with a capital of 1001., for which lie will receive an annuity of 4/. as an equivalent, and A will retain a capital of 1001., which he must Otherwise have parted with, and for the use of which capital he will pay 41. per annum to B. Let the Government now resolve to raise the money it requires by loan at 4 per cent. interest, and impose an income tax for the payment of the interest; and then A being in the receipt of 1,0001. per annum, and B being also in the re ceipt of 1,000/. per annum, the quota of each to this income tax will be 41. per annum. I say' this will be the quota of A and B, because 1007. per annum being the quota of each if the money had been raised as in the first case by an income tax alone, and this money being now raised by loan at 4 per cent. interest, and a small income tax being imposed for the payment of this in terest; the quota of A and B must be accord ing to the rate of interest on the sum borrowed, and this being 4 per cant., the quota of each must consequently be 4/. per annum. Now let A and B each subscribe 1001. to the loan, and they will be in precisely the same si tuation as if the money had been taken from them as in the first case by an income tax alone; because though they will each be taxed to the extent of 4/. per annum, yet precisely this sum will be returned to them in dividend. And here take this observation, that nothing can be an evil in finance against which a man may guard himself; and that he may Protect himself here is evident, for he has merely to subscribe that sum to a loan (or to purchase stock) which would have been exacted from him if the money had been raised by a tax; and as in that case, the tax which he pays on the one hand, and the dividend which he receives un the other, will be of equal amount, whether the money be raised by tax or by loan is (or ought to be) to him a matter of indifference. And yet shall he jump . .. . at the loan, but growl most confoundedly if the same money be exacted from him by a tax. And this shows the benefit of allowing the people to assess themselves, and to be their own tax-ga therers; and this is done when money is raised by loan. Now let B subscribe 2001. to the loaii, and A nothing ; and then B will pay 4/. per annum in tax, and receive Si. per annum in dividend, and A will pay 4/. per annum in tax, and re ceive nothing. And this is just, for B, having subscribed 200/. to the loan, while his quota, if the money had been raised by a tax, was only 1001., and A having subscribed nothing, while his quota, if the money had been raised by a tax, was also 10W., it is plain that A must indem nify B ; and the position of things will be this —that B parts with a capital in the purchase of an annuity, mnd that A pays an annuity in order to retain a capital. And this is precisely the state of things which obtained, when the money s su o p m p o o f se l d oo ß L t b o ei l l e io nd th A e g l o o o o ta L o a f t A 4 was raised by an incom e t ax a l one , an d w h e n we tax. ptoertieleenitn.c,otinhies Take now the last case, and then let B sub scribe 1501. to the loan, and A 50/., and then B will pay 41. per annum in tax, and receive 61. per annum in dividend, and A will pay 41. per annum in tax, and receive 21. per annum in di vidend ; and as all our preceding observations apply equally to this case, it is quite useless to repeat them. And now, having considered the whole mat ter, it is plain to me, that whether :money be raised by an income tax alone, or by loan, with an income tax for the payment of the interest, must in the end come to the same thing ; and that to raise any given sum annually during a certain number of years, it will be necessary in both cases that the country should have precisely the same wealth and resources. And then, as far as regards the mode of raising money by loan, this in sum is the position of things : He that subscribes that sum to a loan which would have been his quota if the money had been raised by a tax, receives just as much in dividend as he pays in tax ; and to him it is all a case, whether there is or is not a national debt. He that subscribes less to a loan than his quota would have amounted to if the money had been raised by a tax, pays more in tax than he receives in dividend ; but for this lie is indem nified by retaining a capital which he may apply to other purposes. . . He that subscribes nothing to a loan, pays an annual tax which is equal to the interest on that sum which would have been his quota, if the money, instead of being raised by loan, had been raised by taxes ; and for this he is indemnified by retaining a capital which he may apply to other purposes. And, finally, he that subscribes more to a loan than his quota would have amounted to if the money had been raised by a tax, receives more in dividend than he pays in tax ; and it is this man alone which in the strict sense of the word is a fundholder ; and therefore a fundholder is one, who, when money was required for the service of the state, subscribed more to a loan than his quota would have amounted to if the money had been raised by an income tax, and in considera tion of this he receives an annuity which must rlieatsrg e sums of money which be paid by others ; and that he should be placed in this situation, not by subscribing to a loan but by the purchase of stock, or by the- bequest or devise of stock subsequent to the loan, makes no manner of difference, because in that case he only purchases orpi is s ct u th c ti c so le vv d th s haa t t o t ii t st h ceiasrlliegtdillietasrioei national t o i record 1 others. aol r debtevi dence voluntarily and free of expence by the (which is the result of successive loans), my defi renvsieeldveos,natti:lle have been which people money by the usual s a u s a l b a e l e; f n u i r ti i W l o i n s i h t o o e h fd f h pe a o d p b le ee t i l l 'e l spent by the Government.
