Robertson, 183, Fleet-street, and to be had of all News Agents in the Kingdom. * tilt. km--))/4-4, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, APRIL 25, 1833. Despatches were received yesterday by Prince TALLEYRAND from Paris, by way of Dieppe. We understand that they have some relation to the affairs of the East. It does not appear that at the date of the last accounts from Paris, any news had teen received of the entry of the Russians into Constantinople; but it was known that the SULTAN had invited the Emperor of RUSSIA to send a fore.- to his relief in the capital, %%here a formidable con spiracy in favour of the Pacha of EGYPT had bee► detected. We have received accounts from the East, by which we learn that the Russians are strengthen ing their auxiliary forces, and making all haste to march to the assistance of the SULTAN. It was doubtful whether IBRAHIM would not be in Con stantinople before them. We have no space for extracts. The meeting at the Crown and Anchor yester day appears to have been productive of some good, I notwithstanding the irregular and stormy way in which it terminated. Several of the warmest ge neral supporters of Ministers have this morning sig nified their intention of voting with Sir Jons KEY, on his motion for repealing the house and window tax, and we hear that Lord ALTHORP is eve►, now engaged in the revision of his Budge'. We trust that he will revert to his original plan respecting newspaper stamps and the ad vertisement duty—and we do so with the mote confidence, becaue we are sure that the revenue would gain materially thereby, notwithstanding what interested monopolists may say to the con trary. Lord ALTHORP may depend on it that one shilling on all adveiti,ements under fifty or sixty words, and one shilling and sixpence, or two still ling:, on all above, would soon double the present revenue. Lord ALTHORP gave notice last night that he should move, on the 30th current, for the appointment of two select committees, severally to inquire into the slice of agriculture, and of trade and manufactures. The nature of the reports these committees will make, will, of course, depend upon the kind of persons of whom they are composed It would be a novel, and perhaps, in some respects, a u•eful experiment, to appoint a committee upon trade and manufactures entirely from the agricul tural Members of the House, and vice versa ; otherwise it is clear that we may, without risk to our characters as prophets, prognosticate !the cop ulas of the several reports. The agriculturalists will swear that bread is too cheap, and the manu facturers that it is too dear. Those may not he the precise words that will be used, but however disguised the terms may be, that will be their sum and substance. But let the plan we suggest be adopted, and there is no saying that the corn mono polists may not at length be converted into free traders! The question of the ballot was last night lost in the House of Commons by a majority of 105. The numbers in favour of it were 106, those against it 211. By this it would appear that on the discus sion of the most important popular question of the day, which is the natural sequel of reform, only half, or less than half, a Reformed House of Parliament were present ! This is an ominous fact. We in treat the people to ponder well on it, and the Poli tical Unions to take care that it does not slip out of public recollection. There was no lack of attendance when the Isiah Coercive Bill was in progress. Hon. Members were diligent to a miracle in voting and speechifying when the question was whether or not Ireland should be bound hand and foot, and surrendered over to the " tender mercies" of mar tial law ; but when the ballot comes under discus sion—that is to say when the theme for considera tion is whether or not a full stop shall be put to the flagrant corruption that disgraces our representa tive system, and Reform be pressed forward to Its natural, its inevitable result ;—then upwards of one half a Reformed House of Parliament is reported absent ! We have no patience with such a bare ac ed evasion of duty. It is culpable on any occa• Oon, but it is unpardonable on this. The consti. ments of the absentees must look to it. The arguments adduced against the ballot may be summed up in a word, namely, that it will oc casion universal demoral , zation. This is the dull, monotonous cuckoo cry of all who oppose it, whether by essays in the Edinburgh Review, or speeches in the Hnu , e of Commons. Yet what demoralization can be so great with the as that which exists without it ? In the one case the danger is constant, pleasing, deadly—in the other it is purely theoreti cd. And are we to iefwe to rid ourselves of an actual, existing evil, bec rise by so doing we may run a remote—and mark ! only a remote—chance of being inoculated with another ? Are we to ne glect the duties of the day in our anxiety to look after those of the morrow ? The ballot is part and parcel of reform. It is its natural sequel—its life —its essence, without which it is all but a dry, shrunken mummy. From the very first mooting of the question, the people have always regarded it in this light, and will scarcely be converted by the sophistry of Sir R. PEEL-Still less by the vacillat ing sentiments of Lord ALTHORP, over whom the Treasury Bench has worked its usual convenient influence. Mr. GROTE argued the question with consum mate ability. He took a clear—temperate—com prehensive view of it, and showed how, by the pre sent system of dependent voting, the Legislature was poisoned at its fountain-head. His distinction be tween the legitimate and factitious influence of pro perty was ably defined, and brought to bear on the question with itres stible weight. Sir W. INGILBY, who seconded the Hon. Mem. ber's motion, expressed himself in a terse, laconic style, better worth attending to than a thousand vague declamations. He would vote for the ballot, because " the squires and the parsons were leagued together to prevent the electors from giving an honest vote." Mr. F. T. BARING, for lack of better argument, was compelled to go back to the first French revolution. R.; attempted to " fright the House from its pro priety" by such bug-bears as MARAT, DANTON, and ROBESPIERRE. But this is a stale trick, like the cry of the " Church in Danger," and will not terrify us now, whatever it may have done in the" good old times" of PITT. We can bear now to hear of the Convention without fear of paralysis or apoplexy. Dr. LUSIIINGToti made a convincing speech in fa vour of the ballot—the more convincing that it was founded on facts which came within the range of his own personal experience. Mr. O'CoNNELL, too, though he spoke briefly, spoke argumentatively, arid to the point. He condensed the substance of a pamphlet within the compass of a few short, emphatic sentences. Sir R. PEEL was of course strongly opposed to the ballot. This is strictly in accordance with what philosopher SQUARE would call " the fitness of things," for men who have themselves but just sprung from the democracy have always the greatest horror of its influence. During the discussion of the Reform Bill in the Lords, it was remarked that the newest Peers were those most inveterate against it. Sir R. PEEL'S aristocratic notions do not sit well upon him in public estimation. The spin ning-jenny i 3 not yet forgotten ; nor can he yet afford with propriety to shrug his shoulders, and effect an elegant fastidiousness at the mention of the word " democracy." It will triumph, despite his opposition. We may observe, in conclusion, that the dis cussion of last night, coupled with the budget, and a few previous supplemental absurdities on the part of Ministers, will go far to con vince the people that as yet they have got but the shadow, not the substance of Reform. That their two years' Herculean energies have been ex pended, not in bettering t heir own condition, but in helping the Whigs to a snug birth on the Trea ury Bench. Hence we anticipate a speedy—an over whelming reaction, which, should it displace the Whigs, will most assuredly displace them for ever. Two great parties have already been tried ; a third, (the " movement" party,) is yet to have its trial. The accounts from Oporto at the Admiralty are quite as favourable to the Constitutional cause as ,he private accounts which have reached us. New York papers to the 2(1 inst. have been re ceived, but their contents are not of sufficient interest for extract. _ The French Papers of Wednesday contain no news of importance. At the close of the sitting of the Deputies on Tuesday, +he President announced hat a Royal sitting would almost immediately take d lace. The Session closes to-day, on which occa -ioo tile KING will go in person to the Chamber. The National says that the Tribune is again to he made the subject of Government prosecution.

We have read with astonishment the report o, one of the speeches delivered yesterday at the Crown and Anchor, in which it was stated, that Lord ALTHORP had said the country did not cry out or the abolition of the House and Window Taxes, remembering, as we do, that it is not two months ago that his Lordship observed, that he was afraid the House of Commons would insist upon a very large reduction of those taxes, in consequence of the very general feeling that prevailed against them His Lordship made this observation, in reply to an • application for the reduction of the Taxes on Know ledge, and evidently with the view of accounting for the refusal to reduce them, by saying that the feeling of the country was much more strongly expressed against the House and Window Taxes than against any other branch of taxation. Can Loid AurtiouP labour under the delusion, that, because meetings have not been held already over all parts of the kingdom, to remonstrate against the continuance of those oppressive taxes, the public are indifferent to them ? He ought to remember, that, in many places which are represented in the House of Commons by independent men, the confidence repcsed by the electors in their representatives renders any public manifestation of feeling unnecessary, those represen tatives having pledged themselves to resist every at'empt of the Ministers to retain the House and Window Taxes. But, if Lord Aurtioße should want further demonstrations of popular dissatis faction than that of Westminster, let him wait a few days, and he will receive them from every part of ihe country. It was correctly observed at the meeting, yesterday, that the inhabitants of the metro polis feel these taxes more severely than 50me parts of the country, but it must not be inferred that the feeling against these taxes is not zeneral among the middling and trailing classes throughout the United Kingdom. In London, in deed, the burden is acutely felt, for trade is in a state of stagnation ; and most of the houses of tradesmen having been taken on lease some years ago, when house property was much more valuable 'ban it is now, the inability to pay high rents, and taxes proportioned to these rents, is very general. In the neighbourhood of Russell-square, many of the houses which were let on lease six years ago, by the trustees of a public charity, at 1001. each per annum, are now offered by the lessees at 701. per annum, and even at this reduction they are unable to get rid of atern. The rates and taxes upon each of these houses amount to 451. per an num, whilst the profits upon the trade of such as have shops, are less by 40 per cent. than they were when the houses were taken. And, as if to add cruelty to the exactions to which these persons have been subjected, the surveyor of taxes, instead of recommending indulgence to the distressed trades men, has for some months past, by a system of espionage unworthy of a free government, attempted to surcharge every inhabitant. Can it be wondered at, that whilst distress is making such rapid strides amongst the tradesmen of the metropolis, arid the ;Aristocracy, as if for the purpose of making the public at large suffer for the passing of the Reform Bill, are withdrawing themselves to the Continent, or materially diminishing their expenditure at home, thereis a general impatience of two branches of taxa tion, one of which makes us pay for receiving the light of heaven, and the other of which is so un equally levied, that, according to a recent calcula tion, the trading and middle classes pay in the pro portion of 20 to I more than the aristocracy ? Had the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER regulated the duty upon houses fairly, he might have reduced the amount of this tax on the trading and middle classes from 2s. 10d. in the pound to 5d., and no man could have complained fairly of the mode of distribution. As well-wishers to the Government of which Lord ALTHORP is a leading Member, we sincerely hope he will gather profit from experience and a,nend his budget whilst there is yet time to do it. He has said himself that he was afraid the House of Commons would insist on a large reduction of the Window and House Taxes. Let him, there fore, make a virtue of a necessity, and by taking the initiative, thus, not only benefit the people, but regain his popularity by simply doing an act of justice. Almost every revolution throughout Eu rope has had more or less a financial origin. If Ministers would prevent that calamity in this coun try let them boldly and honsstly amend their finan cial system without regard to the remonstrances of the Aristocracy, or the sinister advice of selfish, but malicious friends. They came into office on the shoulders of the people, and if they now neglect the people, the arms which raised them in triumph will expel them with ignominy. COURT OF REVIEW.-(THIS DAY.)

Mr. MoNmou applied to the Court, on behalf of the as. signees of Badger, for an order to rescind the fiat, and that a new one might be issued, directed to commissioners at Bristol under these circumstances. Badger's debts amounted to 1,5591., of which sum 1,202.1. was owing to seventeen persons at Bristol, 1601. to persons at Shrewsbury and Buckingham, and the remaining 1061. to Barnet and Co., button ma nufacturers, at Birmingham. On the 14th of March last, the petitioners, whose debt amounted to 1091., forwarded the necessary depositions to procure a fiat, directed to commission ers at Bristol, but discovered that on the 9.c1 of March, a fiat had been issued on the petition of Bartlett and Co., directed to commissioners at Birmingham. The bankrupt had carried on business at Merthyr Tydvil (which place was only forty miles from Bristol, and 106 from Birmingham), and was now confined in Bristol gaol ; the expense of removing him from which to Birmingham for his examinations, would amount to nearly 20/. per day. His property was very small, amounting only to about 2001. The COURT granted the prayer of the petition ; the costs of the application, and of renewing the fiat, to be paid out of the estate.

CITY, TiVELVE O'CLOCK Recent letters have been received at Paris from Hayti' stating that a new agent from that Government would soon take his departure for the French capital, to make a definitive arrangement with the French Government. A report prevailed at Antwerp, by letters received there from Holland, that the King of Holland had assured the Chamber of Commerce at Amsterdam, that, in a short time, the Dutch shipping would be authorized to sail under the Rus. sian flag. A letter from Trieste, says that the Russian Government has offered to assist the Viceroy of Egypt with an auxiliary force of 140,000 men. Montreal papers to the 28th March, and Quebec to the 24th March, have been received at the North and South Ame rican Coffee-house. The Quebec papers state, that during the past week the weather has been unusually mild, and most of the snow has disappeared. The roads in general are bad. The House of Assembly holds two sittings a day, and is busily engaged in the expenses of Government for the current year. _ . The Montreal papers say :—" We have read with much satisfaction the very spirited add: ess of the Legislative Council of the Upper Province to his Excellency Sir John Colborne, expressing in the most unqualified language, the impression which the laboured despatch of Lord Goderich produced upon its reception by that body. The address concludes in language the most frank and respectful, with a request that his Excel lency will tlansmit it to his Majesty's Secretary of State." THE FUNDS. The Estafette from Paris brings the Rentes higher, (78-5), which is supposed to be owing to the report that in the King's speech he will allude to the taking off of some of the taxes ; also of favourable accounts from the Continent. Our Funds have rather improved, and opened at 87 7 to 88 HALF PAST ONE. UP to the present hour we have neither political informa tion or any reports to communicate, and the Funds have conti nued during the whole of the morning at 87 ; 7 4 for the Account, alternately buyers and sellers at the above price, with very little doing. It is stated that letters are in town from Sartorius, stating that he was going to sail with his fleet to Oporto, having re ceived the needful he required from Don Pedro. We understand that some disturbances have taken place at Gressel), a short distance from Frankfort. In the Foreign Market little or nothing doing. THREE O'CLOCK, Consols for the Account, 871.
