THE PUBLIC REVENUE (From the New Times.) An account of the finances of the kingdom, divested of the forms of expression and official classifications, which Parliamentary appropriations render unavoidable, may possibly serve to correct the erroneous and imperfect view in which this subject is not unfrequently regarded. The foll o wing statement is drawn from official sources. Its gen o ral accuracy will not, it is presumed, be questioned ; nor the information it conveys be deemed wholly uninte esting or useless : EXCHEQUER OF THE UNITED KINGDOM. RECEIPTS. Balance of Public Money in the Exchequer, ath January, 1825 £9,552,322 Ordinary Revenue of Great Britain paid into the Exchequer, between sth January, 1823, and sth January, 1826 Ordinary Revenue of Ireland, ditto 3,367,805 East India Company and Irnprest Monies, repaid, &c 443,985 Repayments in Ireland Money received from the Trustees of Naval and Military Pensions Deduct Annuity paid them 1,707,500 £64,026,390 Balance of Public Money in the Exchequer, sth Jan. 1826 5,905,638 EXPENDITURE.

The ne cessity of the additional advance (lid not, as has been erroneously supposed, originate in a deficiency of the Re venues but was occasioned solely by the cause above mentioned. The account of the Unfunded Debt, in Exchequer Bills, between sth of January, 1825, and the sth of January, 1825, was as follows : Amount outstanding, on the sth of January, 1225 38,398,450 Issued in the year ending sth of January, 1826 ... 88)137,050 60,535,500 Cancelled in the year ending sth January, 1826 ... 3%541,300 Amount outstanding sth of January, 1826 27,994,200 Remaining to be issued to complete the Ways and Means of 1826 . 2,777,470 Unprovided Bills charged on aids of 1826 If the deficiency in the Revenue in ttie year ending sth Jan. 1827, should exceed 2,777,4. 1 01. (the amount of Bilk remaining in the Exchequer, to complete the Ways slid Means of 1825,) the balance of public money in the Ex chequer, on the sth Jan., 1827, will be nearly the same as that of the corresponding period, of the preceding year. The Unfunded Debt, in Exchequer Bills, in the hands of the Bank of England and the public, will, however, be re duced to the extent of 8,000,0001., by the Loan negotiated in May last. It should be observed, however, that, independently of the Exchequer Bills above-mentioned, there remained, on the sth Jan., 1826, in the hands of the Bank of England, 3,756,3001. issued for paying off the Four per Cent. Dis sentients, the payment of which is charged on the Sinking', Fund. Of this sum, nearly the whole is now discharged, The whole of the Sinking Fund will, therefore, again be: applicable only to the payment of Life Annuities, and to ptirchase of Stock. "' This sum is, in fact, paid by the Bank of England in part of the Purchase Motley of a Terminable Annuity of 585,7401. - • SALES BY AUCTION OF SOME DISTIN GUISHED PUBLIC AND PRIVATE LIBRARIES.

His Royal Highness the Duke of YORK remains nearly in the same state, but gradually becomes weaker. Their Royal Highnesses the Dukes of CLA RENcE and SussEx are um-emitting in their atten tions to their Brother. The former was twice with him yesterday, and the latter remained with him till a late hour at night. On inquiring this afternoon at Rutland House, we were informed 'that his Royal Highness was no better. We have received a number of the .bile, dated the 14 and 3d inst., which did not reach us with the other French papers, brought by express yesterday rtioillttlg. This paper contains an article which, if correct, is of the highest importance, as proving that the infatuated FERDINAND has added another wreath to his folly by refusing to yield an unqualified submission to the terms demanded of him. The Etoile states, that the latest news from Madrid that has been received in Paris is of the 26th December, of which date, as well as of the 18th and 21st, there were some articles in the unoffi cial part of the Illopßeta of this morning. It is, howtNer, confidently asserted, that the demands addressed to King FERDI NAND were the following :- 1. A disivoWal of every thing that has been done by the Spanish Authorities to favour the invasion of the rebels in Portugal. A change of his Ministers, &c. 2. Formally to recognize the Constitutional Govern ment of Portugal. . To these demands FERDINAND replies-- I. That he will not change his Ministers; that he will send to the frontiers an army of 5,009 men, for the pur pose of disarming and sending into the interior the insur gents who should return .into Spain. 2. That he would send a Charge d'Affaires to Lisbon, :but that hi would not otherwi_le recognise the Consti tution of Portugal. To which the Doile adds, « that it is evident that this answer is not such as was desired." It is truly not such an answer as was desired, but it is such an answer as we were led, by experience of the past conduct of the King of SPAIN and his Mi nisters, to expect. We have invariably predicted that this weak and bigoted Monarch would be mad enough to risk the vengeance of England upon his already suffering people, by refusing to renounce the course he has pursued with regard to Portugal, or by evading •to enter into any distinct engagement on the subject : and. it is therefore no matter of surprise to us to find that FERDINAND has replied to the demands made upon him in the terms stated by the Etoile. If this intelligence should prove correct, the die is cast; and Spain must pay the penalty of the folly of her SOVEREIGN. Portugal must be effectually defended from her insidious interference or hostile attacks ; and the remaining Colonies of Spain must be seized in security for, or indemnification of, claims upon her Government. Great Britai►► is not to be trifled with, and whether it be in defence of a faithful ally, or for the settlement of a just claim, that she draws the sword, she will not -sheath it until she has accomplished her purpose, and - Oven another lesson to the world, that, faithful herself in her engagements, she will never submit to any .violation ,of the engagements of others towards her allies or herself. most of the celebrated privately printed Books, and a large Col - - , lection of Prints, will occupy twelve days' sale. . - . • - Mr. John Field's Theatrical and Miscellaneous Library, which In another column will be found some further ex. includes the first four Editions of Shakspeare'. , Plays, in folio, tracts from the Etoile, amongst which are the ad. and the Midsummer Night's Dream, and the Merchant of Venice, - ire editions ; many of Ben Jonson's rare pieces ; and the Works dresses of the .

" On returning from Mass, the King, after going for a moment to his Cabinet, came into the Salon de la Paix, where the Municipal Body of the city of Paris, presented by the Marquis de Dreux Breze, Grand Master of the Ceremo nies, had the honour to re§ent its congratulations. Chabrol, Prefect of the Seine, expressed him- self as follows : " Sire—The Municipal Body, the organ of the senti ments-which animate the faithful inhabitants of your good City of Paris, comes to offer to you...

" The Times of this morning prints the following interesting letter from Lisbon, dated the 26th ult., which it states was, from an accident, not delivered till yesterday : LISBON, DEC. 26.—1 n the Gazette of the 19th, the report of the sitting of the House of Peers is interesting, as it proves- how much the heads of the Portuguese nobi lity, put themselves forward to defend the . Portuguese charter, at the same time that they display a firmness in not flattering the people; and draw a line of distinction be tween the. constitutional liberty which they defend, and the abuses to which the remains of the faction of 1820 would perhaps carry the Portuguese nation under the false pre tence of a love of liberty. The reception of the news from England has beep en thusiastic, and not the slightest doubt can be entertained relative to the result of this contest, now that those who were timid from the fear of compromising their own in terests, will be encouraged to display their true opinions. Had the resolution of the English Cabinet been de layed, or been less promptly put into execution, it is pos sible that a conspiracy might have been framed at Lisbon by the party of courtiers and intriguers, who expected to see the troops of the 'Marquis de Chaves backed by the Spaniards, and, as they thought, by other, powers, finally succeed in their parricidal enterprise. According to the last news from Lisbon, Count Villa Flor, who commanded the army which repulsed and de feated the invaders of the province of Alentejo, had crossed the Tagus with his army, and entered the province. of Beira, in order to oppose any attempt which might be made by the remains of Magessi's defeatedeorpi to re enter Portugal on the north side of 'the Tagus. In'the two rencontres which had taken place in Alentejo, Count Villa Flor's troops bad shown the greatest • decision and fidelity, the commander himself and all the officers remain ing in front of their troops during the whole of the. action; at the same time that,the officers of the rebels conducted themselves in the most cowardly manner, keeping in the rear, am' leaving to. the soldiers the whole brunt of the action. In the army of the Count ,Villa Flor, there are found serving as volunteers, several of the younger sons of many noble families. _ don and Pat is, now gives the impulse to Vienna, which it re ceives from those two cities. The fluctuations that are caused in this manner on the Vienna funds, ought not therefore to cause any re-action here, if the cperatious Of the Stock Exchange were always guided by logical principles. But they are rather guided by mechanical laws, and thus we may understand lici* impulse giVen from Paris or London throtigh Frankfort to the EXchange of Vienna exercises a re-action, and is felt, if not in those two principal places, yet both here and in Holland. This has happened with in these few days, when several expresses arriving in short inter vals from Vienna, brought the successive variations in the prices of the funds, caused there by the fall in those at Paris and Lon don, and the bad effecti of which we experienced here a Week earlier. This time, however, the re-action here was incbnsi derable, for almost at the same time with that bad news we read in the Paris Journals the Speech of the French Minister for Foreign AiThirs, in the Chamber of Peers, which almost wholly removes the apprehension of a pos sible breach of the friendly relations between France and England, through the discussion of the affairs of Tortugal. At other times, indeed, such declarations and asseverations as that speech contains, might not have met with implicit credit, because history shows that such professions have often been the inutrediate precur sors of war. But in our times it seems to be the policy of Cabinets to dispense with the veil which formerly hid its proceedings from the eyes of the profane ; the most splen did example of which has lately been given by Mr. Can ning, in his celebrated speech in the House of Commons, in which, conscious of the popularity of his cause, lie did not he sitate to make public things that he might have passed over, without essentially affecting the interests of his country. We also hear a great deal of a diplomatic note, which, by its contents and tendency, is, in some measure, a corollary to the speech of M. de Duna., and which is stated to be a confidentialletter from M. de Yillele to Mr. Canning, of which, however, copies are in circulation, and which we may the more reasonably hope soon to read in all the journals, as the two Statesmen appear to have no motive for concealing their confidence from the eyes of all the world. We have received this morning a letter, of which the following are extracts, from a naval officer in the West Indies , they contain much interesting informa tion, and observations drawls from personal knowledge of the country : At:VOLTA, NOV. SO. Since I arrived in this part of the world I have already visited Saint Domingo and the Caraccas, as well as many of the West India Islands; and if the advocates for the Etninespition of the Negroes are to take the former Island as a specimen of the success which is likely to attend the abolition of Slavery, I pity the un fortunate Island that is first to try the experiment. In our old Islands, it would be the height of cruelty ; in St. Domingo they exist, because the soil is so prolific that what is wanted for the mere support of nature is given almost spontaneously, and perhaps the same might be said of Jamaica and Trinidad, but in the others where they have a dense population, and worn out soil, it is out of the question, as nothing grows in. them ; but in consequence of good and systematic husbandry, St. Domingo, 34 years since, was in many parts a garden, and I can myself recollect many parts of it that were so; now all, or nearly to the eye, on the en coast is one extensive wilderness, and the mass of the people, under the most abject tyranny ; it is a republic in name, but no despot assumes more than the President. Formerly it loaded six hundred square rigged ships annually with sugar, now it hardly makes enough for its own consumption ; and the circulating medium a most debased coin. Mackenzie is well able to give a correct and exact account of all he sees, and will give Mr. Canning much useful information, as he is well acquainted with the customs of these countries. With the exception of Trinidad, the Weit India Colonies, I believe, are generally in a most distressed state ;- the old 'planters are only now nominally the proprietors, many of them.absolutely only receiving a stipend from the London merchants ; and although . they could very often make much better sales of their sugar on the spot, yet as they are obliged by contract to their mortgagee, to send all to England, they are subjected to all the per centages, freight, &e. Sce,., and are unable to avail themselves of the liberality which has been shown towards them by Government; these, with their ridiculous forms of Government (Lords and Commons) added to the fear of having their negroes taken from them, of course makes them feel very sore, and nothing but their absolute weakness, keeps them as quiet as they are. I must say I pity them, for I believe the negroes generally, are as happy a peasantry as any in the world. In my fourteen years absence, there has been a great improvement in their condition, and the times are gradually ameliorating them, and were they rich enough to import steam engines to grind their cane, every steam engine would be equal to the importation of fifty negroes at least. In Trinidad, they are prospering under a most enlightened Governor, not fettered with Lords and Com mons. They have generally begun with but little capital, but thanks to the soil and the Government they have done well, and although since " 97" the slave population has only doubled, yet the sugar has increased 450 per cent., and the cocoa, in a much greater proportion. I have been a good deal at La Guayra, and am as fully con vinced as most of the Shareholders in the different South American Schemes are, that all is not gold in these countries ; no doubt it is a noble, country, but where the best soil is, there is also pestilence; where there is a healthy 'country, the soil is not so good, and it is in a mountainous country without roads. The people are generally indolent, insolent, and ignorant, and whatever venality may have been shown by the Spaniards, whilst they were in poasession, it is much greater now. The frauds, in every Department, are very great, as-you may suppose, when I tell you that the Collector of the Customs at La Guayra, who receives, iii avowed duties, 700,000 dollars per annum, kas a salary only of SOO dollars, and on which be always gets rich. 'My last news front La Guayra is of the Sd of November. Paez is still in power, and, I atu glad to hear, has got rid of some of his bad advisers ; and affairs were wearing a better aspect, as they had constitutionally demanded a new form of Government on a federal system ; but Bolivar has seat to recommend the Bolivian Code, the chief feature in which is, the President to be named for life, and to be permitted to nante his anceessori This is a step, I presume, towards his assuming the perpetual Dictator ship, or a Crown ; but the country is so extensive, htmehnee.ntresuetnidin-, munication so di ffi cult, that I much doubt whether it is pos d; refor min gsure ivl sible to exist under one head.

The Marquis d'.Angeja, Governor of the province of Minho, was about to cross the Douro, in order to put down the rebellion which had broken out at Lamega, in stigated by a Colonel of a regiment of militia, who is a re tion of the Marquis de Chaves, and founded upon the same system of falsehood which has all along been employed to gain the ignorant among the Portuguese people. It was said at the departure of the steam packet from Lisbon ' that the Marquis de Chaves himself, with the principal body of rebels, had been beaten at Amarante; and it is a matter of fact, that they had not been able to_pass the limits of Tres os-Montes ; and that' ie Yeti before being apprized of the arrival of English auxiliariei, they were beginning to waver in their resolutions. Nobody can deny that there are , Spanish officers and soldiers in great number with the Marquis. De. Chaves; and as a farther proof of the connivance.of the-Spanish authorities at the attempts of the Portuguese refugees, it . may be added, thareVen General Quesada; Governor of An'dalusia, and whose conduct had been more guarded than that of the other Spanish Governors, after having.' recently requestecrtre- Count' D'Alvei'Govinicif'of Alger va, to send for the artillery, arms', aiid•eqiiiimelits,"‘thith had been carried away by the fugitives from Algarva, has, after all, only effected the -restitution of the artillery and ammunition, declaring that the muskets and other arms had been stolen and carried away by the refugees themselves. It may be given as a piece of certain intelligence, that the Infanta Regent, yielding . to the suggestions of Sir W. A'Court, had consented to receive again the Spanish Am bassador, Count de Casa-Flores,' whose function s • had been declared suspended since the . entrance of the rebel forces, and that this condescension of. her Royal High ness had been communicated to the Anibassador in an of ficial note, with the express conditini--that ,the Charge d'Affaires appointed by the Regent of Portugal would be received, and his Government formally recognized, (which the reader may recollect had not taken place during the mission of Count Villa Baal ;) and:tts a further condition, the dispersion of Magesei's troOps;' which had re-entered Spain, was exacted. This act may be regarded as a de cisive proof of the discretion which prevails in the British and Portuguese Councils, a s, •in the present sta t e o f things, Spain had . certainly no right to expect that the first step towards a reconciliation would be made by Portugal. The Lord Hobart packet has arrived with a Jamaica. Mail.. She sailed from .Barbadoes on tke 12th October, from Jamaica on the 18th -November, and from Crooked Island on the Ist December. The following is from the Alkemeine Zeilung of the 29th ult., received this morning, but wc have no room for comment : His Majesty's packet trig, Cygnet, has likewise arrived with a Leeward Island Mail. She sailed from Barbadoes on the 20th November, and from St. Thomas's, on the sth December. BOGOTA, SEPT. 21. By the post from the South, which arrived the day before yes terday, letters, we understand, have been received from General Bolivar, by the Vice-President, dated Aug. 1, announcing his in tention of leaving Lima about the end of that month. His depar ture had been delayed thus long in consequence of the discovery of an extensive conspiracy, iu which several officers of high rank, and two or three dignitaries of the church, were said to be impli cated.
