'Y a Statement lately presented by the Minister of Finance of this new State, that years of civil war, and the separation of the Mexican territory into distinct states, have very much ;educ e d t h e revenue, which now is estimated to amount to 10 , 6 90,608 dollars, while the expences amount to nearly 18 Millions. The Minister proposes to meet the expences by the I ' e- establishment in full vigour of the monopoly on tobacco, and the re-imposition of those duties on gold and silver which existed before the Revolution, and which, from the extensive U ndertakings f or wor ki ng the mines, promise to become again productive. The account seems to be very full and Candid ; and though it certainly shows that the immediate effect of the Revolution has been to plunge .llexico in great financial difficulties, the former produce of the several branches of the Revenue (in 1795 double its present amount) shows that, With free trade and a few years of peace, it must rapidly rise Out of all its embarrassments. Mr. LAWLES S has published another letter, in tnsw er to the assertion of Mr. O'Connell, that he is not a member of the Roman Catholic Delegation. Ile says that this disingenious charge of Mr. O'Connell" was settled on iturday, at a Meeting at which Lord Killeen presided, when T. B Lordship declared that he had always considered Mr. L. as a 4 ,!;,enlber of the Deputation ; and that on the following day Mr. Connell shook hands With him. In another part of his letter 2r• L. says :—" Mr. O'Connell is obviously struggling, in every sentence, to make th e b es t d e f ence h e can f or t h e cre olnus simplicity with which he embraced a series of mea sures whi c h would make the Emancipation of the Irish Catho tfe.

WEDNESDAY EVENING, MARCH 23, 1825. We received, at 'a late hour, the Etoile of yesterday, from which we extract the following articles : SYRIA. The Janissaries have resumed an air of inde pendence,and give themselves up to disorders, of which the Police do not take any notice : misery is great, and European commerce suffers much. This state of things is increased by the depreda tions and incursion; of the kurdes and Arabs, who hover about the town and intercept the com munication. PAgis, MAncii 21. Prince Esterhazy, the Austrian Ambassador, left Paris yesterday morning for England. During his residence in this Capital, his Excellency had frequent conferences with the Austrian and Rus sian Ambassadors, and our Minister for Foreign Affairs. The following is a private letter from Tan giers :—" The Spanish Refugees having received orders from the King of Morocco to leave his ter ritories, put themselves under the protection of the French Consul, who gave them a safeguard till he received further orders, as these Spaniards declared that they would embrace the Maho metan religion if he refused to protect them." In the Etoile there is a long Expose relative to the project of the law of indemnity, presented to the Chamber of Peers by his Excellency the Mi nister of Finance. Rentes opened at 102. 70. for money; end of the month, 102. 93. The Paris Papers of Sunday announce the death of the Princess de INlErrEasicu, which oc curred on Saturday morning. It is stated that the Prince will not remain in Paris many days longer. The fall of Patras is mentioned in the Constita tionnel on the authority of letters from Leghorn. In the French Chamber of Deputies on Satur day the debate on the reduction of the Rentes was continued. The principal speeches were those of M. de La BOURDONNAYE and M. ',ABBEY de Pomeir.REs, both against the Law. These pro positions appeared to M. de La BOURDONNAYE invincibly demonstrated. -Ist. That the asser tion on which the project of law is founded, namely, that the interest o f money h as f a ll en to four per cent. in ordinary commercial transactions, is incorrect ; 2dly, that the rise in the funds, which is ascribed to this fall of interest, is only the effect ° and 3dly, that the principal ageli t s Tort r h i i: bling factitious ) rise are large capitalists ~~~ supported by Government influence. The lion; Deputy, with reference to the first of these pro positions, maintained that the interest of money was generally above 4 per cent. in France, and that the Minister could not borrow even a hundred millions at four and a half. If the state annui tants adopted the other alternative, of converting their five per cents. into a th ree p er c en t. stock, at 75, they did so because by the law they ob tained a bonus of 33 per cent. The engagements between the Minister and the great capitalists who were exerting themselves to raise the Rentes for the success of his financial plans, had been denied ; but a simple denial, M. de LABOUR DONSAYE contended, was not sufficient to over throw a report so generally believed, and presumptions so well supported by facts. The interest of a great financial measure could alone authorize such a frequent intercourse between the Minister and the capitalists in ques tion—such a facility of correspondence—such privileges of estafettes, and such a violation of the secret of letters as had lately appeared. The Honourable Deputy declared strongly against the injustice of subjecting the small annuitants to a diminution of their incomes "to gratify the wishes of the Minister, or to afford additional stimulants to the jobbing of great bankers. M. FRENILLY defended the Minixterial project. M. LABBEY DE PostpicaEs opposed it, in a speech which excited a good deal of interest the Chamber. The Assembly adjourned at half-past five without coming to any decision. The- following are extracts from the Eloile dated Monday : PARIS, MARCH 20. The Princess Metternich died yesterday morning, at three o'clock. The Princess is not to buried at Paris. On Monday, after a short ceremony, which will be performed in the Church of the Assumption, the body will be sent to Germany, to the family estates, where it will be buried. A large sum of money has been given to the poor, and 50 masses are to be said for the soul of the deceased. The King has sent his compliments of condolence to Prince illetternich, to the Princesses his daughters, and to the Count and Countess Esterhazy, on occasion of the death of the Princess. Accounts from Lucerne of the 11th say—" We hear from England, that Mr. Vaughan, Minister of his Britannic Ma jesty to the Swiss Confederation, who lately left .Switzerland on leave, will not return to Switzerland, but that he is ap pointed Ambassador to the United States of America, and will be succeeded here by Mr. Algernon Percy, Secretary to the Legation at Paris, son of Lord Beverley, and cousin to the Duke of Northumberland." It is affirmed that the Directoral Government of Switzerland has manifested an intention to take part in the treaty of com merce which is actually negotiating at Stutgard between the plenipotentiaries of the States in the south of Germany. We have the following from a corresnindent at Cambray : A most afflicting scene, which has Silted the inhabitants of the chateau with consternation, took place in the evening of the 14th instant. The clergyman returning in procession, after carrying the viaticum .to a sick person in the suburb, a person rushed out of a public-house and fell on the ecclesiastic to strike him. But the crowd instantly seized him, and but for the intervention of the local authorities, who immediately sent him to prison, he would infallibly have been the victim of his abominable action. He could not touch the sacred vessel which the clergyman car ried wrapped up in a veil, but he threw down the lid of it, sur mounted by a cross which was broken. Happily the conse crated wafers were saved, the priest having taken the precau tion to cover the vessel with his hand. We have received Canada Papers to the II th ult.—From Quebec we are informed, that the statements of the Provincial Revenue had been laid before the House of Assembly. The Revenue during the last year amounted to about 110,0001., which, deducting the proportion for Upper Canada, left about 83,000/. for the expenditure of the other Province—a suns considerably above the ordinary expendi ture. The value of imports in 1824 was 1,212,2171., and that of exports, 925,4331. The imports of 1824 exceed those of 1823 by 186,0001., upwards of 60,000/. of which is on the ar ticle of rum alone. The other articles making up the increase are sugar, coffee, tea, and goods paying two and half per cent. As to the exports, the most prominent article is ashes : in 1823 the quantity exceeded that of 1824 by 76,0001. ; but the whole amount of exports exceeds that of the previous year by 3,6251. By these Papers we also learn that the Hon. J. Reid had been appointed Chief Justice of the Court of King's Bench, for Montreal, in the room of the Hnn. J. Monck. N. F. Uniacke, Esq. was appointed a Judge of the same Court ; and J. Stuart, Esq. to be his Majesty's Attorney-General, in the room of the last named Gentleman. Ilis ATAJESTY is expected at Carlton Palace this day to hold a Council. Advices were received] yesterday from Per nambuco to the 10th of February. The pro ceedings for bringing to punishment the leaders in the late insurrection had not then terminated. Fre Caneca, one of the principal of them, suffer ed death on the 13th January, and sentence had been passed on Alacario, Governor of the Re gistro, the execution of which was fixed to take place on the 11th of February. Others were in custody awaiting their trial, and would no doubt meet a similar fate. By these severe examples, the ascendancy of the Imperial cause was fully established at Pernambuco. About 200 of CAlt vAHLo's late troops were sent prisoners to Rio on the sth of January. The Accession, Ito n DA it.r, arrived off the Land's end, sailed from Rio Janeiro on the 18th of December, and on the 30th, in let. 23., long. 34., fell in with a brig, with her masts in the water, abandoned by her crew, but a number of Blacks holding by the starboard fore-chains anti cat-head : she took 31 off the wreck, and 10 from the inside of the vessel. The brit; was about 200 tons burden, and app eare d to b e l a d en w i t h palm-oil; and the Blacks stated that the crew left her when she became water-logged. The Accession arrived at Bahia on the 12th of January, and landed 39 Black s (two having died on the passage), who were given into the hands of Government. Letters from Leghorn, Trieste, and Ancona, state, in a positive manner, that Patras was deli vered up to the Greeks on the 6th of February, on certain conditions, which are, however, not stated. An article in a Petersburgb paper d en i es t h at Spain is sending any Commission er to Russia at the present juncture, or that R uss i a h as formed any secret treaty with Spain relating to mili tary aid. Letters received in town yesterday from Bou logne mention that the trial which had long ex onsul, Mr. II Am' LTON , a renchm an , f or utter i ng cited so much interest , there on the part of his had finish e d, when the jaß,gliraiuti against i sl e ) re. l:l op a ro j e e i: s sA t i y oN : D, expressions, Doctor was found guilty, and subjected in a fine of°° costs of francs,suist.o francs to the King, and with full r~ ~~ w ,; :~''~' _ ,5 €4, 3 . • 0 , • 4 74 •,re; 9 " 014 14, c" --- sW 1 .43 (It THE KING.

The Princess Augusta visited the Duchess of Kent yester day, at her apartments at the King's Palace, Kensington. It is rumoured that the King intends to pay another visit to Ireland in the course of a few months. If this be true, there can be no doubt that it is seriously intended to concede the Ca tholic claims.—(Dublin Evening Yost.) The absence of the Duke of Clarence from England is fixed for six months. The journey is understood to be or. account of the Duchess, who is recommended to try some of the Baths in Germany. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. THE ROYAL HUNT. His Majesty's Stag Hounds met yesterday at Lodden Bridge, near Reading, and had a very sharp run for twenty-five miles. The deer at starting took for Sonning, where she crossed the river, and shortly afterwards recrossed a little on this side of Reading, and passed through his Majesty's meadow into the Forbury, where she was soon routed by the inhabitants. Having again found her legs, she retreated and skirted the borders of Reading, and was taken at Theele, between Reading and New bury, on the Bath road. The deer making her appearance in the Forbury, caused an unusual sensation among the inhabi tants, who immediately saddled the horses to follow the hounds. PIGEON SHOOTING. At the Pigeon Match for 50 sovereigns at Finchley yester day, between Messrs. llalford, Conyngham, and Carr, lagainst Messrs. Thelluson, Granger, and Patmore, at 11 birds each ; the former won by 27 birds, and the latter 25. Mr. Patmore beat Mr. Conyngham, in a bye-match for 20 sovereigns, at seven birds, by the former killing six, and the latter five birds. PEDESTRIANISM. Mattingley, the Nottinghamshire pedestrian, started early yesterday morning to go from Tottenham-court-road to a place near South ),lims, 15 miles in one hour and a half at two starts, resting ten minutes. He did his miles within a few seconds of six minutes under and over, and accomplished the ten miles within an hour, and halted, and then performed the remaining five miles in half a minute less than the half hour, winning cleverly. It was for twenty sovereigns. Miss MACAULEY. --- This Lady has been dis playing the effusions of her political talents, and giving her dramatic recitations, for some time with great success at Bath. Among other subjects she recited some animated passages from her own Poem of " MARY STuAtur," the unfortunate Queen of Scotland. Whether that victim of Royal jealousy deserved the censure which has pursued her memory it is now perhaps impossible to dis cern, amidst all the able, active, and learned labours which her fate has drawn forth ; but it must be acknowledged that Miss M.tcAur.EY's portrait of her character and sympathy with her sorrows, do honour to her own feelings as well as to her talents. HENRY VIII. after the death of Jane Sey mour had some difficulty to get another wife. His first offer was to the Dowager-Duchess of Milan ; but her answer is said to have been, that she had but one head, if she had had two, one shculd have been at his Majesty's service. Among those who are to be found in King's Courts, says 31`Cree, few are like-minded with James 3lel ville, the nephew of Andrew Melville. He annually expended the half of his stipend on the public service, and as for gifts from the Crown, he said , I sought none, and I got none un sought. ST. ANDREW AND ST. GEORGE.—A Meeting of the Inhabitants of St. Andrew, Holborn, and St. George the Martyr, was held yesterday, pursuant to notice, which stated that the Committee appointed for the purpose of opposing the Bill in Parliament for the repeal of the Local Act would lay before toe Meeting a statement of their proceedings in op position to this uncalled for measure, and as the Bill had been read a second time, to concert also the most efficacious steps for opposing its further progress. At half past eleven the Chair was taken, and Mr. HALL stated to the Meeting, that the Bill which the Governors and Directors were introducing into Parliament, was one that was likely to do much injury to the parishioners of St. Andrew and St. George in general. It was the object of that Bill to deprive one fifth of the householders of their right of vote in the Vestry Meetings of the parishes. The present number of voters paying scot and lot, were 2,800, of which number it was proposed to deprive 516 of their power of voting, by only allowing them to bear lot, leaving it to the landlords to pay scot. He trusted that the Meeting would take up the matter seriously, and not allow so obnoxious a Bill to pass through the House of Commons sub silentio.— Resolutions were then come to, after some observations from Mr. Dando and other gentlemen, for the purpose of spewing the feeling of the Meeting against the conduct of the Governors and Directors, and to offer its decided opposition to the intro duction of the proposed Bill. THE ARMY. The Depots of the 37th (North Hampshire), the 88th (Dur ham); the 70th (Glasgow Lowland), the 71st (Hi g hl an d Li g h t Infantry), the 74th, the 76th, the 81st,. and Nth Re g i ments o f Font, arrived, in pursuance of previous orders, on the 17th inst. at Winch Cater, from Albany Barracks, Isle of Wight.

Garden, after being married, by report, in the morning to Mr.II"AyNE. She is said to be en gaged for a few nights at the Glasgow Theatre— probably to perform in the Honeyrnoon.—(horn. ing Chronicle.) The Theatre at Washington does not appear to be much encouraged, although the performers are generally respectable. Romeo and Juliet was announced for Wednes day evening last, but owing to the audience not being nume rous enough, the house was closed for the night. This is the second instance of the' kind which has lately occurred at this Theatre. The Circus was open every evening, and well at tended.—(American Paper.) Sir WALTF.tt SCOTT has declined the honour of being Rector of St. Andrew's University, on the score of his increasing years and aversion to business. In adopting this r:- solution, we think Sir Walter has scarcely done justice to the generous feeling which prompted 'the young men to make him the object of their choice in a matter involving the assertion of their rights. Acceptance surely would not have had the ap pearance of creatir,T or encouraging insubordination, when the votes of the students were sanctioned by Dr. Chalmers and Dr. Jackson. If the office be merely an honorary distinction, to which no actual duties are attached, is it not infinitely more proper that it should be bestowed on literary men of distinguish ed talents, than on common-place lecturers ? Is it not, in fact, an office which ought to be expressly reserved for such men ? ' ( Scotsman.) Mr. Ilt.rmE has written a letter to the Lord Provost of Glasgow. announcing the re-appointment of the Se lect Committee of the House of Commons to inquire into the laws relating to the export of machinery, and requesting to know what witnesses wish to attend the Committee to viva evi dence, and the particular branch of machinery they wish to he excepted.

Exrr.osio - N OF GAS.—On Monday evening, about six o'clock, an explosion of gas took place in the shop of Mr. Harrison, a tailor in - Worship-street, Shore-ditch. There is no gas laid on in Mr. Harrison's house, but owing to sonic defect in the pipes which pass underneath the footpath immediately in front of the shop, for the supply of the street lamps. the gas had escaped, and forced its way I;.2neath and through the floor ing of the shop. On Mr. H.'s entering with a lighted candle, he gas inflamed and exploded, not with one burs, but rather, as he described it, with a succession of explosions, somewhat in the manner of ;lieu-de-joie. The boards of the flooring were forced upwards by the violence of the shocks, but the shutters no: being closed, the gas found vent through the windows, every pane in which was destroyed, and the fragments carried to flat: opposite side of the street. No further damage was sustained. FATAL ACCIDENT TO JAMES OTTAWAY, ESQ., ONE OF THE CORONERS FOIL THE COUNTY.—It is with deep regret that we announce the death of • the above respected Gentleman, who was found about twelve o'clock, on Saturday night, lifeless, in the Turnpike-road, in the parish of Marden, I between Stile-bridge and Staplehurst, with his chaise and horse standing by the body. Mr. Ot taway had been to Rochester on professional bu siness, on Saturday, and passed through Stile bridge Turnpike-gate, between ten and eleven at night, on his return home. From the appear ance of the gig, one of the shafts of which was broken, it is supposed that the horse must have swerved from the road, and the carriage coming in contact with some impeditnent, the unfortunate Gentleman was thrown . out by the shock. A violent contusion was found on the back part of the head, and the . Sur geon, Mr. Berry, of Marden, who first examined the body, gave it as his opinion, that a violent concussion of the brain took place, and that death was instantaneous.—Yesterday an Inquest was held on view of the body, by J. N. Dud low, .Esq., Coroner, and a respectable Jury of the parishioners of Marden ; when after the ex amination of the Surgeon, and the person who first discovered the deceased, a verdict was taken. of " Accidental Death," and a deodand of ss. levied on the carriage. Mr. Ottaway was a man of most amiable disposition and gentlemanly ha bits, eminent in his profession as a lawyer, and universally esteemed. He has left a widow am! four child ren.—(Maidstone Journal, M arc h 22.) ' ‘.‘\
