EDIToR,—To put an end to the interested clamour which is raised against the repeal of the Duties on Coals and S.-.lt, and without imposing on the lower orders of Society any additional burthens, 1 beg leave to submit, through your impartial Paper, the propriety of giving to the Government something more than an equivalent for the repeal of these Duties—by the imposition of a Tax on PROPERTY, double their annual amount. Ido not mean a Tax on Income, but a Tax on Property. I t can be collected without any additional expellee to the Country or trouble to the People, and may be estimated on the present rental of Lands and ?louses, and of Monies in the Funds. To enumerate the advantages to the Nation by the adoption of this suggestion, both as to the repeal of the Coal and Salt Duties, and by the imposition of a Tax on PROPERTY, cannot be'necessary, as they must be self-evident to the meanest capacity, and to the most superficial observer.

JUVENILE DEPRAVITY.-,—At the adjourned Sessions for the County of Surrey, just terminated, two youthful depredators, Catherine Mooney and Anne Land, neither of them more than ten years of age, were convicted of Felony, and iii conse quence of their being old offenders, having each been tried several times before, were sentenced to seven years transportation.

Mr SKRI.Torst, one of our first Engravers, has made a very fine Print of the Pa INC 3 REGENT, from the admirable Portrait by Mr. PHILLips which is altogether the best resernhlahce of his Royal flighne.is that has hitherto been seen.— The countenance displays all animated dignity, a n d the attitude is easy and grac,fol... 14,, gra,er has certainly ilone jiwice to . the Picture, as far as can be accomplished without the aid of colouring. Mr. 'JACKSON has recently painted a Head of Mr. SMITH, the respectable Veteran of the Stage, who now nearly approaches his ninetieth year.— The likeness is exact, and the countenance is marked by that manly spirit and unaffected good humour which always characterized the ve nerable Original, and which time has not ef faced. , The Artist went to But y St. Edmund's, by desire of Sir GEORGE I3BAUMoNT, in order to paint this Portrait, to whom it belongs. Those who remember the acting of Mr. SMITH will be gratified in hearing that an excellent Mezzotinto hint has betin made from this Por trait by Mr. WILLIAM WARD, and Lovers of the Drama will be g!ad to possess so good a Likeness of a Gentleman whose talents. and attain ments qualified him to be an ornainrilt of the Stage, as well as of private life. Listo be re gretted, howeyer, that there is no faithful Por trait of this Gentleman, taken i,r the injure of life, as he was evidently formed by NarvElS in a kind disposition. Mr. and Mrs. (BIANCEII) LACY, to the regrvt of the Musical Circles, are about to take their departure fur India. Their own talents would doubtless he a sufficient recommendation, but we understand that they go under the most poivertol pitronage. Such Piformers cannot but prove highly gratifying to our Eastern connections, and are well calculated to improve the musical taste ache country.

LONDOI'..I JOURNALS; FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. [Morning Post.] We regret to hear' that a general dissatisfac tion prevails throughout the provinces of New. Brunswick and Nova Scotia, at Poole and at Dartmouth, and among the commercial hou,e's engaged in the trade to Newfoundland, ft OM the total ahandonment, in the late Treaty with the United States, of th e B r i t i s h i nterests connectf d with the Fisheries of Newfoundland, the Labra dor, and . onl the coasts of British North America. Why such ruinous concessions have heed made ft? the citizens.ot the Uuited States we do not know. If the 'Treaty which has appeared in the Ameri-, can newspapers is correct, these sacrifices base been made without any national equivalent what ever, and wit hont any pretence for them. The, effect which the publication of this Treaty has produced is most iljutions, as the Newfoundland houses are, if we are correctly informed, in conse quence of it, withholding their. Spring shipments, whilst those engaged in the Trade to Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, particularly in the articks for the Fisheries, are doing the grille. Several cargoes of salt,- which were ordered, have been• countermanded, and the general depression telt in those 'circles is most grievous. To the King's American Provinces this Treaty is calamitous ; it will check their agriculture, depress their ener gies, and lead them to conclude their prosperity,. welfare, and interests, are disregarded at home. It is to be lamented that, in the progress of this infatuated Treaty, the houses connected with Newfoundland and the Colonies were not resort ed to for information on this subj,tt ; if they had, those concessions would never have been made. \Vc hope it is not too late to :prevent many of the evils which will otherwise be produced by this Treaty, and that the Legislature will pause befote ! they sanction such a sacrifice'of great national in terests. B u t until the official copy of the Tteaty is betore;t he Public., we shall not enlarge upon it, contenting ourselves with the reinask, that it ap pears to its!, though hour recollection only, duet the " North-western coast of Newfoundland," • whit!' was ceded by Ti eaty to France, is by the recent Treaty with America likewise given up to the citizen's of the United States ! It it is so, we hope never .to heat' again of Mr. Oswahi's Hun. ders, or Mr. Caleb Whiteford's cross-readings at Pans, Great improvements ar►d alterations are taking place in a most important branch of the Revenue Department. It is finally arranged and now act ing neon at the Custom-house, that none but effi cient and capable persons shall continue to hold ~f ficial stations. In the several cases of involun tary retirement from office, ra liberal plan is adopted,,the allowance being handsome and satis factory. A complete change has occurred in one particular department ot the Custom-Louse; some of the water-side officers were accused of taking fees from the Ca pia inS of ships, at the time of clearing the vessels of their cargoes, contrary to the intent anti meaning of tire Act of Parliament, passed in the year 1806, for the abolition of all Customs fees, excepting a few tolerated in the Long Room at the Custom-house ; the proof of ti►e taking of fees was esaablisherl by the acknow• ledgment of some of the parties accused, and on a further investigation it was discovered that more than 80 persons were implicated in the malprac tices. So large a number, in full employment, caused considerable embarrassment as to the dis posal and punishmer►t ot the offending partie► ; hopes were entertained of something like a gene ral amnesty being extended toward• them, espe cially as the service of the Revenue could not but experience some inconvenience from such all ex tensive and sudden dismissal ; these hopes, how ever, have been destroyed by the decided opinion of the Law Officers, that no pardon could be safely extended. With this opinion before them, the —Lords of the Ticasuty have determined upon the dismission of 81 official persons, in. eluding the waternten, with the tide surveyors, Fee. Tire salaries of the latter are individually 2001. per ann. which gives a great increase of patron age, and at this moment affords a fine opportunity to bestow favours upon meritorious Offreers in the Army or Navy, and thus secure to the Revenue ac tive, intelligent, snd faithful servants.—(ibid.) Advices from Jamaica to the 29(11 of January have been received. They state the arrival at Kingston of the schooner Juliana from Angus tura, the Captain of which reported, that just before he sailed a report had reached that place of " the Royalists having been defeated and Cumana captured on • the 28th of December ; and that a great number of Morillo's troops had deserted and repo ired to the standard of the Independents."
