~~ THE SINKING FUND, 'rife following notice, respecting the. application arwd wtrionnt of the S;niiing Fund for the current voter, has appeared in the Gazette : The Lords Commissioners of his Majesty's Treasury, having certified to the Commissionerr for the Reduction of the National Debt, in pursuance of the Act. 10'1 IV., r. 17, s. 1, that the actual surplus revenue of the United Kingdom of Great Britain ane, irelsod, beyond the actual expenditure thereof, for th.e year thded the 10th of October, 1829, amounted to sum of 2,274,027/. Ils 1144. ; the Commissior: c s' for the Reduction of the Na tional Debt hereby i s - ;ve notice that the following sums will be aPPliealtle, under the provisions of the said Act, towards the re'!..ileiito of the National Debt of the said United Kingdom, between the sth day of January, 1830, and the sth day of April, 1830, viz.:— " One fourth part of the said surplus ..C568,506 17 1 " Interest receivable on account of donations and bequests 2,630 2 7 £571,137 0 6 , 1 " S. INGHAM, Comptroller-General. " ntion3l Debt Office, Jot. 5." Thn oft cial returns of the revenue engages, as visual, much attentunt in the city, nn•! as there are tutu parties to the discussion,—one disposed to take the best, the other the worst view of it,—there is of course great differenee between them. The latter contend that the real deficiency on the quarter ought to be 90,000/. more than is stated in the official return, because 130,0001. was received in this quarter for corn duties, while, in the Corre sponding quarter of last year, only 4.0 ) 0001. was received from that source. The ti . ,Arieney in the year, they further affirm, instead of 1,165,4491., ought to be 2,39.5,449:'.; inasmuch as the corn duties for 1828 were only 130,0001., which in 1829 yielded 900,0001.; and that 450,0001. constitutes the Irish tea duty which was transferred from the Irish customs to the English excise, and is not, therefore an item fairly carried to the account of revenue, being subtracted from one branch fit order to add it to another. This comeatnt on the re venue we give as one that has been current in the city, but without adopting it. One cause of de.; crea. , e in the revenue stems to have been generally overlooked; which is, the very low price all com modities bear at present, which must necessarily cause a corresponding loss to the Government in all cases where od valorem duties are established. It way further be said, that no allowance has been made for the effect of retrenchment in the various departments of the Government, which may prove nearly of sufficient extent to counterbalance the de crease in the revenue, and leave the balance of re ceipt over expenditure as high AR if the produce of 1829 hud been equal to that of 1828. BUONAPARTE AND LANNES. Buonaparte had ceased to address Lannes in the second person singular, but that General continued to use the same familiar mode of dis course as formerly in speaking to Napoleon. It is hardly possible to conceive how much this perseverance in familiarity, in one of his most valiant brothers in arms, excited the bile of' Napoleon. He had already given a striking proof how much he stood in awe of the candour of his ancient comrade. Well knowing the un ceremonious frankness of Lannes, and that his high spirit of daring would actuate him as much in the.city as in the field of battle, Buonaparte, on the great occasion of the 18th Brumaire, fearing his reproaches, had given him the com mand of Paris, in order to be assured -of his absence from St. Cloud. Since that time, and notwithstanding the continually growing greatness of the First Consul, and which, as it increased, became every day more -exacting of deference, Lannes had so thoroughly preserved his freedom of speech, that he had become the only one who dared to treat Buonaparte as a fellow-soldier, and tell him the truth without ceremony. This was enough to make Napoleon determine to rid Mini& of the presence of Lannes. But under what pretext was the absence of the con queror of Montebello to be procured ? It was necessary to create an excuse, and in the truly diabolical machination resorted to for this purpose, Buonaparte brought into play that wily disposition with which lie was so superabundantly provided. Lannes was by na ture thoughtless of the morrow ; lavish of his money as of his blood, he distributed it prodi• gaily to his officers and soldiers, who loved him as if they were his children. Thus his fortune consisted of debts due to him. When he was in need of money, and this was not seldom, he used to come in all simplicity to the Tuileries, and ask it of the First Consul, who, I must confess, never refused him. Although well ac quainted with the situation of the General, Buonaparte said to him one day, "My friend, you should attend to appearances and be suitably housed, to have your establishment on a footing worthy of your rank ; there is the Hotel de. Noailles, why don't you take it, .and furnish it with proper magnificence ?" Lannes, whose own candour was such that he never suspected in others any other than the apparent meaning of' their words, followed the advice of the First Consul. The Hotel de Noailles was taken, and superbly fitted up. Odiot furnished a service of plate, valued at two hundred thousand francs. General Lannes, after having thus conformed to the wishes of Buonaparte, came to him and re quested 400,000 francs, the amount of the expense incurred in a manlier by his order. " But," said the lira Consul, " I have no money." " You have no money ! what the d—lam Ito do then ?" " But is there none in the guards' chest ? Take what you require. We will arrange that." .Mistrusting nothing, Lannes went to find the guards' treasurer, who m a d e some objections at first to the advance required, but who soon yielded, on learnin , that the demand was made with the consent of the First Consul. Twenty four hours had not passed after Lannes had re ceived the 400,000 francs, when the treasurer received from the chief administrator of the chest of the guards an order to balance his ac count of the funds in hand. The voucher for the 400,000 francs advanced to Lannes was not allowed. In vain the treasurer alleged the au thenticity of the First Consul for the transaction : Napoleon's memory had suddenly failed him ; he had entirely forgotten all that had passed. In a word, it was incumbent on Lannes to restore the 400,000 francs to the guards' chest ; and, as I have already said, Lannes had no property on earth but the debts that were due to him. He repaired to General Lefebvre, who loved him as his pupil, and to whom he related all that had passed. " Simpleton," said Lefebvre, " why did you not come to me ; why did you go and get in debt with that --? Hold, here are the 400,00 francs for you ; take them to him, and let him:o to --- !" Lannes hastened to the First Consul. " 'What," he apostro phised him, " is it possible you can be guilty of such a baseness as this ? to treat me in itch a manner ? to lay such a foul snare for Inc, after all that I have done for you ; after all time blood that I have lavishly shed to promote your ambition ? Is this the recompense you have in store for me ? You for get, then, the 13th Vendemaire, to the success of which I contributed more than you. You forget the Milesimo. I was Colonel before you ! It - was to serve you that I again became a soldier ; I should have been left a simple grenadier l For horn did I fightßassano ? You we re wit ness to what I did at Lodi, at Governolo, where I was wounded ; and vet you put such a trick as this upon me l . But for me Paris would have ' , wolfed on the 18th Brumalfe.- But for me you ould have last the battle of Marengo. I alone, yes, 1 alone, passed the Po at Montebello with my whole division ; you gave the credit of thisto lierthier, who was not there, and made my suf ferings the purchase-money for that humiliation. This cannot, thin shall not be. I must iluonapatte, pale with anger, listened without stirring ; and Lannes was on the point of challenging hiin to a duel, when Junot who heard the uproar, hastily entered.— The unexpected presence of this General re issured a little the First Consul ; and at the same time calmed somewhat the fury of Lannes; " Well," said Buonaparte, " go ambassador to Lisbon ; you will there save money, and when you return you will have no need of any one to pay your debts." T1114 ‘ ,. was Buonaparte's ob ject gained. Lannes . 4l.'out for Lisbon ;he no longer annoyed the First Consul by. his famili- Arities; and on his return never again addressed him with thee and thou.—De Bourrienne's Memoirs.

The American "RESIDENT'S Speech is just arrived in town, but it will be too late , from its great length, for our first publication. At the Foreign office, this morning, despatches were received from Mr. MACKENZIE, the Bri tish Consul at Lisbon, from Lord STUART DE IIOTIISAY, at Paris, and Sir CHAS. BAGOT, at Brussels. The Messager des Chambres contains an article from Augsburg, by which it would seem that the dominion of Austria is sorely felt in Tyrol, as well as in other countries further to the South. The power of Austria is, in fact, main tained by fear—not respected for its tender mercies. The Tyrolese are a brave and patriotic people, whose good will it would be wiser in AuStria to conciliate than to estrange, under the blind presumption that any insurrectionary move ment, however formidable, can be put down. It is always better to prevent rebellion than to be under the fearful necessity of suppressing it.— The power of opinion is making rapid progress in Austria, as well as in other parts of Germany, and Mince METTERNICH may find it more prudent to anticipate its effects than by vain en deavours hope to arrest its course. Obstinacy, like all other barbarous attributes, can have but its day—and no more. Austria - may be con sidered as the last strong-hold of bigotry and tyrannie rule, and the day of retribution is fast approaching : The following are extracts : (From the Messager des Chambres of Jan. 4.) AUGSBURG, DEC. 28.—There has been a great deal said here of an insurrection of the Tyrolese, be cause they feel very sensibly the absurd vexations with which the Imperial officers allow themselves to oppress them. However, no general movement against the House of Austria has been produced ; but we are astonished at the want of foresight of our Statesmen, who, by gross faults, have changed into indifference, perhaps into hatred, the sincere attachment by which the Tyrolese were distin guished in 1809. Austria has not suffered a single stone to remain of the ancient political edifice of the country; it has made these barren moun tains a hell to the inhabitants, and a paradise to the people in office, most of whom are strangers to the country. M. de Metternich pretends that the ob stinate heads of the Tyrolese must yield to more formidable notions, and that it would be ridiculous to fear the Tyrolese. They are still a little protewed in the councils by Counts Sawa and Kollnwrath ; but the power of M. de Metternich is such, that it would render even the protection of the Emperor useless. Recent examples of this are spoken of, though an article of what is called the Constitution of 1816 prohibits the send ing of deputations to the Emperor. The town of Meran, formerly the capital of Tyrol, found some intrepid men, who went to Vienna to lay their com pla'nts before the Emperor. They reached the capital, but the Emperor, after having heard their complaints, said to them, " My dear children, en deavour to quit the capital as soon as possible, other wise you run much risk that the Ministers will have you arrested." _ .

The following are extracts from German and Brussels Papers received this morning. Russia is said to have consented to the elevation of Prince LEOPOLD to the throne of Greece, upon the understanding that CAPO DISTRIA shall be Ills Prime Minister--a very . politic and adro, ,tipulation ! BERLIN, DEC. 30. His Majesty the Emperor of Russia has been delsed to address the following most gracious re •cript to Lieutenant-General Baron Muffling, dated ?•Ld September : " Your judicious councils and persevering en leavours have at length succeeded in convincing the Divan of the danger of its situation, as well as of mr sincere wish to preserve the Ottoman Empire 'tom the fatal consequences to which the further 7 )rogress of the victorious Russian arms might lead. Duly appreciating your councils and its true inte rest, the Divan resolved to enter into negocia •ions for the restoration of peace. The exertions which you have made to bring about s') desirable A result, have given you indisputable claims to our 4ratittide, and to give you n splendid proof of it, eve have appointed you Grand Cross of the Order of St. Wiadimer, first class, the insignia of which eve herewith send you, to be worn according to the Statutes. " Your well affected, (Signed) " NICHOLAS." ANCONA, DEC. 17. Letters from Colin say, that orders have been sent to the Turkish Commanders in Negropont to cease hostilities, and to evacuate the island. It was therefore supposed at Corfu that the Porte had con sented to the new determination of the frontiers of Greece, and will recognise its entire independence. Letters from Petras have already announced that Athens had given up to the troops under Ypsilanti. Thus the internal affairs of Greece. become more and more consolidated, and, after fire centuries of the most degrading slavery, an honourable place in the European system now offers it4elf. It is generally affirmed that Prince Lcopld of Saxe-Coburg will ascend the throne of Greece, in consequence of an agreement between England and France, to which the Russian Cabinet does not refuse its assent, but has required only one condition, namely, that Count Capo d'lstria shall continue as his counsellor, and always hold the first place in the Greek ministry, as it is doubtful whether, after the departure of Count Capo d'lstria, the order of the administration could continue, and whether the old intrigues and dissen tions, which he has allayed with so much wisdom, might not re-commence. This condition required by Russia appears to be in the spirit of the Treaty of London, the object of which is the pacification of Greece. It now remains to be seen Whether the Courts of London and Paris agree to this, and whether Count Cap 9 d'lstria himself is ready to devote his further services to Greece. It is said that M. de Ribeaupiere has orders, on his way to Constantinople, to stop at Napoli, and confer with the Count on the subject. The result of this mis sion will probably have a decisive influence on the choice of the future Sovereign of Greece, as with out a previous agreement of this kind to secure the interests of the empire, the Russian Emperor will hardly consent to place on the throne of Greece a Prince who, by family connection, is attached to England. TRIESTE, DEC. 23. We have from good authority the following view f the stations of the naval forces of England, t.ance, and Russia in the Levant : AT EGINA. ENGLISII.—Four of the line a►►d two corvettes. FRENCH.—One of the line (Admiral de Rigny) and two brigs. RUSSIAN.—One of the line, one frigate, the frigate much damaged in a late storm. AT POROS. Fifteen Russian men of War of various rates, which, on the settlement of the affairs of Greece, and the return of the fine season, are to go back to the Baltic. AT VOURLA. ENGLISH.—Two of the line, two frigates, and vo brigs. AT CORFU. ENGLISH.—Two of the line, (one a three-decker,) these two are to sail to Malta, where part of the English force seems to be assembling. AT NAVARIN. FRENCH.—One of the line and two frigates-. The Greck naval force, consisting of one frigate, four corvettes, and six brigs, is stationed in the Gulf of Lepanto. VIENNA, DEC. 26.—Bank Shares, 1264 i. FRONTIERS OF ITALY, DEC. 18. Letters from Turin announce that measures are said to have been agreed upon between the several Italian Cabinet., on occasion of the turn of public affairs in France, and the irritation which becomes more and more manifest in that country. It seems that it has been determined that those measures which are intended to protect Italy from the danger which might tie drawn upon it by its turbulent neighbours will be put inta execution at the very beginning of the spring, unlel.s the struggle be tn•een the Royalists and the Revolutionists should be terminated in a manner, which shall authorise a belief that the tranquillity of Europe will not be endangered by it. ODESSA, DEC. 16 Several Greek families from Adrianople have settled here, having left that city on the departure of the Russian army from apprehension of persecu tion on the re-es!ablishment of the Turkish autho- city. A few days ago a Greek merchantman (the first since the insurrection) arrived here with a cargo of oil and fruit. The presents from the. Sultan to the Emperor, of which Halil Paella is the bearer, are said to be of ex traordinary value. It is affirmed that they consist of several dozens of the finest shawls, of diamonds and pearls of rare beauty, and a great many sabres and pistols. The whole is estimated at seven millions of rubles. BERLIN, DEC. 30. Baron Alexander de Humboldt has arrived here otn St. Petersburgh, accompanied by Professors r.hrenberg and Rose. BRUSSELS, JAN. J. On New Year's Day his Majesty held a grand drawing-room at the Hague. The offieers of the guard and the garrison paid their respects in the morning; the Foreign Ministers were presented at ten o'clock, and at two the general drawing-room commenced, at which a great number of the most distinguished persons of all classes came to pay their respects to his Majesty, on the cornmeMoration of the new year. His Majesty has given a large sum. for the relief of the poor at the Hague. The elevation of Prince LEOPOLD to the new throne of Greece seems now to be con sidered as a matter of certainty. For our own parts we see no reason why this country should not find a King for Greece in preference to many others. His Royal Highness is besides qualified for the office by many considerations—of which an income of 50,0001. is not the least. He possesses, besides, the advantage of belonging to Continental families, while allied to that of England. The following is from the Brighton Gazelle of this morning on the subject:— " We hare reason to believe that the appointment of Prince Leopold of Saxe Coburg to the Throne of Greece is really perfected. Our readers will understand that this is not merely an echo of rumours which have appeared in the foreign Journals, but that we state the fact as being within our own knowledge. On its consequences we shall not here speculate. To Great Britain it must be of the first importance to hate, in the Sovereign of that country, one who is allied to us by tie:, so close; and we are almost reconciled thereby to the serious faults committed by the Wel lington Administration. It is in fact a master-stroke of policy. With skilful seamen and numerous ports, Greece cannot fail to rise rapidly in the scale nations; and with Prince Leopold as her Sove ,i4n, the friendly intercourse on which we may cekoo, Must prove extremely beneficial to hot} -tares. We hope, however, the report of his in ;ended marriage with Maria Louisa is untrue. Why hould not the bonds already subsisting between the Prince and England, be drawn still closer by an :fiance with a British wife." That the appointment of the Prince should occasion jealousy to some of our French neigh blurs is not to be wondered at. The Journal ales Debats is quite furious upon the subject, And very adroitly turns it to the disadvantage of die Prince de POLIGNAC, as an act of subser viency on his part to the Duke of WELLING TON. The Journal says— " Let them dare then to articulate that the Prince of SAXE-COBURG has not been the candidate of the Duke of WELLINGTON, and that M. de POLIGNAC, by an instinct quite national, has gone in quest of a King of Greece to Windsor or Carlton House! I do not believe that this mystification will make many dupes. Great GoD ! Was it then absolutely necessary to pass the Channel, to give a new dynasty to Greece ? When her National Assemblies so licited from the Cabinets of Europe the Mo narchical form and the choice of a Prince, to move their sterile pity, (lid they imagine that they were thus to deliver to England alone the decision of a question so vital for their destiny ? What ! it was at the very period when they pat an embargo on tl►e waters of the Thames on the steam vessels constructed at so great au expence, by the generosity of the Greek Committee; it was at the very period when the English Cabinet (and we dwell on this event ; Tor far be from us the idea of confounding Eng. land, in this circumstance, with the narrow and shabby views of her Premier, with the greedy selfishness of some of her merchants) ; it was at the period during which the English Cabinet connected itself more closely than ever with Pi ince METTERNICH, to stifle under the inac tion of Christian Europe, and in case of need, perhaps, under its parricidal efforts, the rising liberty of Greece ! Yes I whilst men and money were sent from several capitals of Europe— whilst they were arming in some and soliciting money in others for the country of LEONIDAS --r►hilst a young Advocate braved for this noble cause the neighbourhood and the of M. de METTERNICII—in London the sup pliant Envoys of Greece in tears were repulsed ; and it is from London that the King of GREECE shall take his departure ! " Do not tell us that the Conferences o L'etersburgh, from-which emanated the Treaty o the 6th July, were the result of a more benevo lent disposition for Greece. The English Ca binet saw in this only the hope, by connecting Russia in her relations with the other Powers of Europe, of annulling one of her grievances against Turkey, and consequently to arrest the Cossacks on the Pruth ! Vain hope ! The Greek Treaty has remained, with its principles, with its consequences ; and the Empire of MA llmouto dues not the less corer Europe and Asia with its ruins. " And now they set aside at London, by a single gesture, all the Princes of those Royal Families who loved to render service to Greece in her bad fortune 1 But in return they pro nounce the name of the Prince of SAXE Co- BURG, solely, no doubt, because the Treaty of the 6th of July did not permit the election of a Prince of one of the three subscribing Courts ; they chose the nearest after blood ; and, too happy to follow without doubts the inspirations of his English colleague—too happy to bend under his arrogant patronage—M. de PoLIGNAC not merely accedes to the proposition of the Ca binet of St. James, but takes it upon himself to present at St. Petersburg)), in the name of France, the candidate of England. " No, never did a more humiliating policy stain the Frond) name in foreign countries— never was more disgrace and shame abroad added to distress at home. * * * " But what can we expect at home from those men who provoke every day by their writings the hatred of Europe against France ?—those men who would, to-morrow, risk an invasion for their portfolios " 'What is to them the honour and repose of their country ! Foreigners among us, they treat us beforehand as a conquered nation, and would willingly force France to expiate, by the coalition of all the Kings of Europe against her, the coalition of all good men against them. " Hence the imaginary terrors which they are moving like a phantom throughout all the Courts of the North and the South ; hence those pre tended centres of conspiracy, with men like Lord PALMERSTON at their head, whom they de nounce to the animadversion and vengeance of foreign Governments ! Hence those Kings, whom they impudently present to us as reeling on their Thrones, because their people are not condemned, like Italy, Spain, and Portugal, to the ignorance of all that is said, takes place, or is written elsewhere! " Oh, let them cease to threaten Europe with France, to threaten in turn France with Europe I The responsibility of Ministers has not entered into our codes with all its developments ; that is true ; but in case of need, the laws of all ages and all countries would suffice for the chastise tnent of such a crime I" The Journal des Debats, in its wrath, seems to have forgotten that such an appointment would be a very excellent check to the influence of Russia in the East of Europe. THE LATE CONIMISSION OF LUNACY.- From the interest excited respecting the confinement of Mr. DAVIES, it may be satiafictory to many to state what we have learned, upon inquiry, that immediately after the verdict of the Jury he was restored to his liberty, and the exclusive possession of his shop and business in Philpot-la..e; his mother has since been at a separate residence. Mr. DAvors's first care was to set " to rights" his shop, and to go through the process of tasting and trying his teas, and every thing else has gone on quietly, regularly, and satis factorily. But for the grievous expence incurred by each day's proceedings, it would be matter of regret that the whole of the mass of evidence for the defence was not dis played before the public, to whom it would have conveyed much useful instruction on the dangerous nature of the evi dence commonly adduced as proofof insanity. —Morn.

CITY, TWELVE 0' CL 0 CK. The British Funds, which left off yesterday rather heavy, at 9i to I, opened with a firmer appearance this morning, at 95-4- for the Account ; which no doubt is owing to the first transfer of Consols taking place this day, and the dividends payable to-morrow and Monday.

XCIB CONS; EPTI Chairman, and a full bench of Magistrates. The calendar contains the names of 35 prisoners charged with larcenies, the majority of .whom are females, there b ins 19 women and only 16 men ; a similar circumstance never before occurred at these se sinus, and we hol e, for the credit of the fair sex, never will again. A MORT CASE. The following is a rerbutim report of this trial Clerk—Margaret Hayes, you are indicted for strafing three-penny worth of soap, the property of John Since. ' John Since—The prisoner came to uly shop; I sa le. her put a piece of soap into her apron ; took it away from her, and gave her into custody. CHAIRMA N—Ptienner, do you wish to ask any'rincr,; dons? Prisoner—No, Sir, I was intoxicated at thellin6 CHAlRMAN—Gentlemen of t::e Jury, you have hiard the case. Jury—Guilty. Cou KT-Thc scr:b nee on you is, that you ho coned ten days. The whole proceeding did not occupy four minutes. Richard Harman was indicted for stealing two po un ds f beef, the property of John Bull. The case was clearly proved. . . The prisoner, in his defence, said he was driven to it by the greatest distress; his father and mother were out of work, and he had nothing to eat. Gui:ty—Three months' imprisonment. Jame..? Shaw was charged with steal 31bs. of beef, the property of Stiphen I'inkney. The prisoner did not deny taking the meat, but Slid • he did not know what he was about at the time, being in. a state of intoxication. It was not distress that drove him to commit so fooli di an act, as he had plenty of money in his pocket at the time, having on that day re ceived his pension. Several witnesses proved that when the prisoner had a little to drink he was in a state bordering on insanity ; eo much so, that it was necessary at times to put on a straight waistcoat. The Jury consulted for some time, and then said, " we find the pritioner guilty, but that he had no felonious intent." CH.% IRSIATI-That gentleman is a verdict of Not Guilty. A verdict of Not Guilty was tl.en returned, and the prisoner was discharged. John Norman alias :Mulford, was convicted of stealing a pocket handkerchief from the person of Mr. John Frede rick Alen, deputy clerk of the peace for the county of Middlesex, and sentenced•to be imprisoned six months in the Ifouse of Correction. Several others were convicted, during the morning, of petty larcenies, and sentenced to various terms of im prisonment. PRE (GEN] MES.
