417X101% TO ASSASSINATE THE KING OF FRANCE. (From intelligeace—..a net , Sunday Paper.) At a late hour yesterday evening, we received from our Correspondent in Paris, a long and interesting letter, from which we have only time to give a short extract. This, however, is of considerable importance, as it shows the state of feeling in France, and communicates information of an attempt to assassinate the Sovereign. Having the greatest confidence in the veracity of our Correspondent, Who has, in a private note, informed us of the source from which he received the information which he furnishes, we cannot doubt its correctness; but we regret that he does not state the precise time when this attempt was made. We see by the extracts from the French papers of Thursday, which were given in the Tines of yesterday, that a dis trust is entertained of the French Guards generally, and that the Swiss Guards are to have their pay increased, in order to attach them more firmly to the Royal Family. We are sur prised, however, to find that an attempt should have been made upon the life of the King by one of his Gardes du Corps, a body composed of persons of good family, and vvho have never, hitherto, been suspected of disaffection to the reigning Dynasty. We sincerely trust that this diabolical attempt was not connected with any conspiracy. It is curious that it should have been kept so quiet; but we really see no reason to doubt its accuracy. The following is our Correspondent's letter : PARIS, MARCH ts.—Notwithstanding the apparent quiet in the capital, it is now generally rumoured that the King has considerable doubt of the fidelity of his guards, and that the officers have received instructions to watch narrowly the conduct of the men under their command, and, above all, to prevent their mixing with the people.— This precaution does not seem to be without reason, as you Will judge from the following authentic account of an at tempt to assassinate the King, which has only just tran spired, although it is understood to have taken place pre viously to the late quarrel with the Chambers. Charles X. was hunting in the forest of St. Germain ; at the turn ing of one of the avenues, his Majesty found himself in front of one of his Gardes du Corps, who had been placed there on duty, and who suddenly drew from his holsters a pistol, which he fired at his Majesty. The King was slightly wounded, and excessively terrified. The Garde du Corps, seeing that his aim had failed, destroyed him self, by drawing from the holster the remaining pistol, and blowing out his brains; first saying, " I have missed you, but some other person will be more adroit than me." The greatest silence respecting this event was commanded, and the greatest precautions were taken to prevent its coming to the knowledge of the public. It was merely announced, in the Ministerial Journals, that the King kept his room from indisposition, and the public never heard of the adventure. ?}ICES sTocics THIS Blak Stock 3 per CeAt.

Warren, which ar rived on Wednesday, we have letters from Malta to the 16th of February; by the Pelican, 18, Com mander Hutcheson, which arrived yesterday, letters to the 2d of March ar e rece i ve d ; and in addition, others, which have come to hand, overland, are of as late a date as the 15th instant. The substance of the information gained from these is an assurance that our squadron and garrisons are all in good health; that the greatest part of our squadron would return to England, as soon as the Bussiens quitted the Mediterranean; this the latter were evidently reluctant to do. Admiral Ricord thought he could riot with safety venture till the end of April; the arrival, however, at Malta, of Sir Pulteney Mal colm in the Asia, seems to have hastened his de parture, for we find that he, with Admiral Lazaroff, and another flag officer, quitted Malta on the 11th of March, for Spithead, with the Azoff, Ezekiel, Grand Duke Michael, and two other ships of the line, the Constantine, and three other frigates, and two or three corvettes. They may, therefore, be expected in England in about a fortnight. They will remain at Spithead until May, it not being-con eidered eligible to proceed up the Gulf of Bothnia anti' the end of June. Notwithstanding the removal of this Russian force from the Mediterranean, Ad miral Count Heyden, with three sail of the line and some smaller ships,.will continue there, under a plea that, the settlement of the Greek question requires the show of such.* force—the consequence is, that the English squadron cannot be reduced to the peace establishment of 1828. The Melville, Wind. sor Castle, Wellesley, Gloucester, Revenge, and Britannia, of the line, will remain on the station for the present; the Asia, of 81 guns, Ocean, of 80 guns, Isis, .50, with the Meteor, iEtna, and Erebus bombs, are ordered home to be paid off, and are, we presume, non , on their passage, as the orders left,Loedon on the 26th of February.—Our corres pondent states that the Greek question had done wonders towards the improvement of the Russian navy, who now affect to state that their trade will ,always.require.the protection of some of their men of war. ,This question, he states, seems to occupy very little of the thoughts even of the Greeks them selves ; though the islanders, from being now quite separated from the Turkish Government, fear— being situated between Rumelia and Cuha—they are placed between two fires; for the Turks will always keep up a strong force at the latter island, where formerly they maintained no force whatever. They contend that Candia ought to have followed the fate of the rest of the Archipelago. Of the French expedition to Algiers little seems to be known, excepting that great preparations were making on the one hand for attack, and on the other for defence. The Dey, it was under stood, was confident he should be able to resist any force that could be brought against him, and had the promise of great support on the score of re ligious hatred against the Christians. He was will ing to concede almost every point the French de manded, but repelled the manner in which he was called on to do so : it being reported that he was required to go on board the French Admiral's ship, and personally apologize to him as the representa tive of the King of France ; and that while in this act all his forts were to strike the Algerine flag and hoist the French standard, and salute it with one hundred guns. The ships left at Malta are the Asia, 84 (flag ship), Ocean, Revenge, Britannia, Wellesley, Isis, Madagascar, Pelorus; Wasp, or dered to Smyrna; Meteor, ordered to Gibraltar ; Infernal to remain out assisting as a surveying vessel, but to take Lord Yarmouth to Naples ; Rattle- snake just returned from Tripoli ; Procris had gone to Marseilles. The Windsor Castle, Wellesley, Gloucester, Melville, Sem arang , and rebus, are in the Archipelago ; the Favourite at Alexandria; the /Etna, Weasle, Musquito, and Rifleman at Corfu.— The Spartiate brings home as passengers the Hon. Major Keppel, who was at Constantinople when the Russian army advanced to Adrianople, and who offered' to pay his respects to General Diebitsch; the Russian, however, suspecting his visit to be a political one, declined the honour. Capt. Saumarcz, and Lieut.Frampton, of the Rifles, with Mr. Domett, are also passengers. The Madagascar frigate, Captain the Hon. R. Spencer, arriv%l at Malta, on the Bth to repair the damages she had sustained by being struck with lightning. The Pelorus sloop-of-war arrived at the same place on the 12th, also to repair damages incurred by getting on shore at the entrance of Port Mahon Harbour. The Southworth transport, Lieutenant John Sanders, Agent, arrived on Sunday from Valparaiso and Rio de Janeiro, with invalids and old stores from the South American squadron, arida mail from Rio. She left Valparaiso the 19th November, and Rio the 20th January. His Majesty's ship Thetis, Captain Bingham, arrived at Valparaiso on the 13th November, to relieve the Forte, which ship sailed two days afterwards for Coquimbo, Arica, and Callao, to collect freight, and was to sail for England, via Rio, about the end of February The Alert sloop-of-war was at Callao the Ist of October, and the Sapphire was gone to San Bias and Panama, for silver. The Tribune, Captain Duntze, sailed from Rio the 17th January, for Monte Video and Valparaiso. The Algerine, 10, Commander Talbot, arrived at Rio the 14th of January, from Si. Catharine's. The whole of the Royal Flanily of Brazils had recovered the effects of their late accident, to commemorate which ere* the Basilian minim gave the Emperor a LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, MARCH 29, ISSO. The following from our Paris Correspondent, with extracts from the Paris Papers of Saturday and Sunday, will show the state of affairs among our neighbours:— " PARIS, Ileum 27. " For some days past the Ministerial journalists hare evidently been endeavouring to prepare the public mind for a change, more or less important, in the French Cabi net. These indications have of course given rise to ru mours in every possible variety of form and colour, most of which agree in the conclusion that the Prince de Po lignac will remain at the helm of affairs, and that M. de Peyronnet will form part of the new Administration. , It may also be held as definitively arranged, that AL de Boor moat assumes in person the supreme command of the Al gerine expedition, without, however, vacating for the pre sent at least his notrCnal controul over the War Depart ment. This, I think, may at once be inferred, inderen dently of private sources of information, from two ordon nances which appear in this morning's Moniteur, one of which declares that an Under Secretary of State shall be attached to the office of the Secretary of State for the War Department, who shall be charged with the personnel of such parts of the service as may be delegated to him by the Minister. The other ordonuance appoints Major-General de Champagny, Aide-de-Camp to his Royal Highness the Dauphin, to the office thus created. Both ordonnances are countersigned by M. de Bourmont. I have been so closelyoccupied all the morning with my endeavours to ascer tain the other projected changes, that I find I have left myself too little time, before the departure of the post, to tell you the result of my inquiries. The reports in circu lation are indeed so numerous and so contradictory, that I judge it more advisable to withhold them for the present, on the sup . eosition that another day will either give them more consistency, or produce some official announcement on the subject. The following article from the Quotidienne of this morning, between whom and the Gazette there has lately been a good deal of rather ludicrous coquetry, appears to be not unworthy your attention : ." It is believed that before the lapse of many days the " Ministerial system will develope itself by the appoint " moot of mw Administrators. This movement is ex " pected by the Royalists as a necessary result of Parlia " reentary events. France, it is hoped, will be perfectly " aware that fidelity to the King is a necessary " condition for participating in the superintendence of " the affairs of the State. From the known loyalty of " the Ministers, we expect that this system will he " largely followed ; that is to say, that seeking for fidelity " to the King, they will not be satisfied with personal " ' submission to themselves. Self denial is the duty of a " Royalist Ministry. In France, the land of honour, " we must henceforth have Royalism, and not mere " Ministerialism. With such a system we foretell that " six mouths hence there will no longer be any oppo " sition but that of pure jacobinistn.' " (From the Moniteur.) The Official part contains two Royal Ordinances, dated March 25 : I. Decrees that an Under-Secretary of State shall be attached to the Minister-at-War, who shall be charged with all the parts of the service assigned to him by that Minister. 11. Appoints the Sieur de Nompere, Viscount de Cham pagny, Major-General and Aid-de-Camp to the Dauphin, to be Under-Secretary of State in the War Department. FRONTIERS OF SERFIA, FEB. B.—Conformably to the clauses of several treaties of peace, and especially of that of Adrianople of the 14th September, 1529, Prince Milosch having received a Hatti Scheriff of the Sultan concerning the right of the Servian nation, communicated it to the Turkish authorities. The latter made it known to the Turks, and had several copies taken, after which it was re turned to the Prince. The latter then convoked a Na tional Assembly, an event the more remarkable, as this watt the first time that the Deputies appeared with the powers legally given by their constituents. A Magistrate of each Court of Justice, and the principal Ecclesiastics also made part of this assembly which met on the 4th of February at Cragonievats, the residence of the Prince. On the 4th and sth the full powers of the Deputies were verified in the Supreme Court of Justice by a Commission expressly appointed. The num ber of the Representatives was 700. On the 7th Milosch appeared in the assembly, showed the Sultan's firman, and caused it to be read in the Servian language, He then developed, in a speech, all the rights which this act conferred on the Servian nation—such as the most complete religious liberty, the choice of its Chiefs, and the independence of its internal administration. Thus it was delivered, for the future, from the oppressions and the ex tortions of the Turks. He said that Servia was at length going to be inhabited by freemen, and represented the necessity of a code of lawe, adding that for these two years he had been engaged in having one drawn up according to the French code, with such modifications as the usages of Servia required. After having announced that hence forward the country would have to pay only a single tribute to the Sublime Porte, and would enjoy full security of persons and property, he congratulated his countrymen on having, at length, attained the rights and franchisee which had long been the object of their wishes. Lastly, he spoke of his constant efforts to secure the happiness of his country, and proposed to appoint somebody in his room. Here he was interrupted by the unanimous cries of the Assembly, which proclaimed him the saviour of the country. He was then conducted back to his palace amidst the ac clamations of the multitude. The Members having afterwards met in the Hall of the Supreme Court of Justice, the Committee drew up three acts, which were signed and sealed by all the persons pre sent. Prince Milosch Obrenovitz is solemnly styled, in the name of the nation, the Father of the Country. He is acknowledged Sovereign Prince of Servia. His legitimate heirs are to succeed hint. The nation shall again take to him the oath of fidelity. The second document notes thanks to the Sultan, and begs him to confirm the choice of the Servian nation. The third contains an address of thanks to the Magnanimous Sovereign, the Protector of Servia. On the 9th the oath was taken to the Prince in he church, and re Deum was performed. Pears, Merton 26.—The Ilioniteur quotes from the National of the 25th a paragraph, stating that when the Chambers were prorogued, ball-cartridges were given to the 2d Regiment of the Guard ; and another paragraph, which says that the Ministry thinks it cannot depend upon the Royal Guard of Paris, the infantry of which is com posed of six French and two Swiss regiments. Hitherto Swiss r eg i ment, Swiss, on the duty h as a l ways been done by two French and one c i o a ns t t o an betly "but henceforth," s ay s th e N a ti ona l, there O o n ni d y u o ty. ne),FreLic adds, h " that h regiment, two ;w of the Swiss has been increased." " All these assertions," says the 21forritsur, " are false ; this is our only answer to all dies.: calumnies, justice shall be done them ; this example, which might be daily repeated, will suffice for France to judge of the veracity and good faith•of the papers, which have declared war against it by making war upon its Government.", (From the Messager des Chambres.) Pants, MAacir 27.—Among the thousand reports which are put in circulation, there is one, however, which begins to gain some credit. It is said that a plan is se riously in contemplation by which the Deputies, the Coun sellors of State, and the Prefects of the Hundred Days, as well as the individuals who are comprehended in the laws of the 24th of July, 1515, and of the 17th January, 1816, shall be declared incapable of sitting in the Elective Chambers. The National received on Friday evening a summons to appear on Friday, April 2, before the 6th Chamber of Correctional Police, as accused of having committed the crime of exciting hatred against the Government of the King by publishing in its number of the 25th instant an article beginning by these words—" We can guarantee the correctness of the following facts, 6 - c.," an article, which imputes to the King's Government false facts, cal culated to excite the hatred of the citizens. An express from Madrid, of 18th March, brings us the news that the King of Spain has given orders to all the authorities on the frontiers of the Kingdom to arrest General I3arradas, who commanded the late expedition to Mexico, but who is at this moment in Paris. " TO THE EDITOR OF THE SIESSAGER DES C/lAMIIRES. PARIS, MARCH 27. " Sir,—l shall beg you to insert in one of your next numbers the following letter, which I have just addressed to the Gazette de France and the Quotidienne. (Signed) " F. AGIER." "TO THE EDITOR OF THE GAZETTE DE FRANCE. PARIS, MARCH 27. "Sir,—You announce in your Journal to-day that I have lost the census (tens) of eligibility. I give a formal con tradiction to this assertion, and I require you, by virtue of the law, to insert my letter in your next number. (Signed) " F. AGIER,, " Deputy of the Two Sevres, and Couniellor in the Royal Tribunal of Paris." To the formal contradiction which we have just copied, we can add, that we know very well that the division of an estate, of which the Gazette speaks, has not taken place, and M. Agier even pays at this moment 400 or 500 francs in taxes more than at the time of his last re-election. (From the National.) PARIS, Maitcll 26.—We have received from a high quarter the following document, which appears to us to, be of high importance. It comes to us from England, and we believe we may warrant its authenticity : "It is certain that the Master of the Rolls, Sir John Leach, (this officer is, by his functions, the person in England who is the best acquainted with Parliamentary jurisprudence) has been ordered by the Government, in consequence of a question addressed by the French Minis try, to search in the records of Parliament for the cases in which it has refused the supplies, and what the King did inconsequence of this refusal. Sir John Leach an- swered that ;Lich a case has not occurred since the reign of William, all the Kings of England having yielded to the opinion of the Parliament in time to prevent such a ca lamity. (The National prints the whole of this article in capi tals.) (The French papers give, at considerable length, the commencement of the proceedings against the Globe, which are to be continued on Wednesday.) " Letters from► Toulon state, that ' a report is current of the Cirej frigate having entered Algiers with a flag of truce. It was mentioned some time since that a vessel, with a diplomatic agent on board, had left, Toulon, in order to convey to the Dey of Algiers the ultimatum of France. This explains the entrance of the Circc" into the port of Algiers, if the report be true. What is certain, however, is, that great activity prevails on the coasts of Barbary and in the vicinity of Algiers. The Bedouins are moving in all directions, and it is said that every rock on the coast is mounted with a battery. The noted pirate Bavares, who has been for some time at Toulon, is to go back with the expedition. He has promised to bring the Dey into the French camp, if a company of determined men be given him. He is acquainted with all the sub terranean issues of the citadel, where the Dey has fixed his residence.' " The Courier de Bayonne contains the following in telligence of the 10th instant from Lisbon :.—'l)ublic spirit is here repressed, but not extinguished, of which a new instance has just occurred. The Corporation of Traders have for a long period enjoyed the privilege of nominating twenty-four deputies to represent their body at the Sanado or Municipality, who also elect one of their number to be Judge of the People; and this Judge has the right of admittance at all times to the King, and to command all the doors of the Palace to open to him by a single blow of his staff. These deputies and their chief, (I,e Juiz de Foro) having presented themselves at Queluz without wearing the medal with Don Miguel's effigy, were sent away under various pretences, were deemed Malhados, and their election annulled by the absolute com mand of the Prince, who, by an express mandate, enjoined the Corporations to meet again, and proceed to a new election, the first having been obtained by undue and re prehensible fraud. The same ordinance appointed as Pre -silent of the election a magistrate well known for his violent principles, and upon whom the Court relied for influencing a choice more favourable to its views. The Corporations, consisting of between 7,000 and 8,000 persons, were then re-assembled ; and in opposition to all the efforts of the President, they re-elected the same twenty-four deputies, who, i n their turn, nominated the same person for Judge of the People as had met with an affront at Queluz, and incurred the displeasure of the Prince, it cannot be denied that, in this instance, the artisans have displayed firmness and courage.' " The African expedition will sail from Toulon on the sth of May, if reliance may be placed on a report which appears to be well founded. Success is anticipated ; an d to attain this end millions will be unsparingly expended : these disbursements take place, it is true, without grants being made by the Legislature; but the Chambers are prorogued, and success will justify the undertaking. Amidst this infatuation a general voice is beard : a Deputy, who is ever found in the breach, M. de Labord e , has addressed to the King and the Chambers an energetic protest against this violation of the laws of the land. It is desirable that all our Deputies should employ with equal utility the leisure forced upon them by the tears of the Ministry. Subjects for the exercise of their talents are by no means wanting. " We hear that the regiments destined for the African expedition are to be at Toulon by the 28th of April, at latest. "It is said that the Swiss regiment Bleuler has refused to go to Algiers, claiming the execution of the capitula tion, which leaves them the choice of going out on service or not when France is at war. A French regiment has been appointed in its stead. " Colonel Hababi, who commanded the Mamelukes of the Imperial Guards, is sail to be charged by the Minister of War to engage 40 dragomans for the African expe dition. These dragomans are to he chosen from among the officers, sub-officers, and privates of the corps of Mame lukes, who escaped the fire of the enemy during the wars of the empire. " The principal agent of a commercial house, that has contracted to furnish part of the supplies for the African expedition, set off yesterday morning for Catalonia, com missioned to collect in the Bay of Palma, by the 15th of May, or the Ist of June at latest, 6,000,0001bs of straw, to be immediately transported to the coast of Africa. " The following intelligence from Marseilles is of the 20th instant :—' The preparations for the expedition are proceeding with great activity. Every thing is ordered to be in readiness by the end of next month. We are as cured that the heads of each department, except that which furnishes the ammunition, have declared that this will be accomplished. The number of transports engaged is, however, as yet incomplete, though they already amount to 300 sail. It is said that 40,000 tons more will be re quired. This must leave an immense void in the trading service on the roast, and to the colonies of the Levant. The Sardinian ship-owners however, have at length obtained permission from their Sovereign to engage their vessels in the expedition. An agent of M. Seilliere, the contractor, is at Marseilles, and has made large purchases of corn and flour, salt meat, cask-staves, &c.' Letters of the 19th instant, from Toulon, say---' A flat-bottomed boat has just been launched, and fifty more are in the yards, built upon time same plan, and will be ready to go off the stocks by the Ist of April. Several officers of rank have gone to Mar seilles, to complete the taking up of transports, and hasten all the other preparation. Three hundred iron bedsteads have arrived here, intended for the use of the hospitals.' From Rochefort we learn, that the schooner Isis, the fine steam-boat Sphynx, and the Rapid, another steam-boat, have taken their departure from that port for Toulon, and that all the crews of ships of the line, and officers in a state for service, have gone to Brest. The brig Assa, was to be launched on the 24th. A great quantity of ammuni tion and stores have been sent off from Rochefort. " The Tuscan ship Caroline, and the Sardinian vessel called the Virgin of Montenero, which were captured last year by the French squadron off Algiers for attempting to - ~ violate the blockade, have Loth been condemned by the Council of State, as good and lawful prizes, with their cargoes, which consisted of marble, timber, deals, iron, piece-goods, coffee, sugar, indigo, and other merchandize. (From the Journal du Commerce.) " Will M. de Villele enter the Ministry? This is a question which is only calculated to create discord in the camp of the Royalists, and to dissolve the alliance formed with so much difficulty between the Royalists of the Gazette and those of the Quotidienne. Dissension has already risen. The Quotidienne does not positively reject M. de Villele, but wishes that be should be admitted only in a subordinate post. It is of importance that the system, as it is, should be preserved, that its character should oat be changed, and that M. de Polignac should continue its living representative.' Thus they do not despise the administrative ability of M. de a man of talents, who is never at a loss at the Tribune, who knows how to extricate himself from a perplexing position, and how to correct the injustice of a ballot. His industry would be usefully employed in the service of M. de Po lipmac, by drawing the Ministerial chariot out of the mire. But will he consent to do it? Let us be just to every one —thel'e are more brains in the head of M. de Villele than in those of the whole Council, or even of the whole party of which this Council is the spirit end quintessence."

The increasing inquiry with which the continued ex clusion of the Jews from civil rights has affected their christian fellow citizens, seconded by the philanthropic opinions of the last half of the 18th century, have at length made the improvement of their civil condition or their conversion to Christianity, an object of general interest in modern times Among the most recent Legislative Acts on this subject is an Ukase of the Emperor Nicholas, which permits all Israelites, who embrace the doctrines of any Christian - community, to get themselves admitted as citi zens in any town which they may themselves choose, even though the latter should refuse to consent. In the villages such consent is necessary, in order that the inhabitants may not be injured in their agricultural pursuits. In 1817 an Imperial Ukase had promised other impor tant advantages to Jews who embraced Christianity. In Germany, a proposal made by the Government to the last Assembly of the States of Wurtemburg met with much opposition, even from the decided Liberals, and was not pascal into a law till it had undergone great modifications. In Mecklenburg Schwerin the Government and the estates could not come to any agreement on the subject, because the latter wished to retain more instructions than the Government desired. In the Prussian States important rights were granted to the Jews so far back as 1811, but this appears to have proved in some instances injurious to the Christian population, since the declaration of all the provincial assemblies on the civil condition of the Jews have been re ceived. A general law on the subject has been taken into consideration. It is well known that in Great Britain societies have long existed, partly for the conversion, partly for the emancipation of the Jews, and the latter point has been lately brought before Parliament, where in all probability it will not be speedily decided. In opposition to these en deavours to improve the civil condition of the Jews, we find in every Swedish Diet (also in that now sitting) the proposal to expel the Jews from the kingdom has been al ways repeated but rejected by the Estates. All the va rious measures hitherto brought forward have failed of the wished-for success, and yet the 'Governments should feel themselves called upon, in one point of view in particular, to adopt energetic measures. Depending on the conver sion of some Jews to Christianity, it has been the custom to consider the number of Jews as stationary at from two and a half to three millions. This opinion seems to be com pletely refuted by recent statistical information. In the Prus sian States the Jewish population in nine years (18x20- 1829) bad increased in comparison with the Christian po pulation nearly in the ratio of four to three. The number of births among the Jews is, indeed, proportionably small, but the deaths among the Christians were so much the more numerous. In Warsaw, also, far greater mortality has been observed among the Christians than among the Jews. The reasons of this fact are partly the greater temperance of the latter in the use of spirituous liquors, and their care of seeking medical assistance, hut chiefly the circumstance that they are seldom engaged iu dangerous or even laborious occupations, which is particularly favour able to the Jewesses in their pregnancy, who lose much fewer children at their birth and in infancy than Christian mo thers. But what is to the advantage of the Jews in this point, must be in the same degree disadvantageous to the Christians. Here we have' another example how injustice ~ ,~ 'ti - , • t recoils on those who are guilty of it, and this is an addi tional reason for every Government, for the interest of its Christian subjects, to repair this wrong, and to make com plete equality of the Jews the end of its legislative mea sures, though it may be advisable to approach it only gradually but withaut interruption. The speech of Mr. POULETT THOMSON, in favour of a revision of the present mode of taxa tion, is one of the most remarkable that have for some time been delivered within the walls of Parliament. It comprises a multitude of facts, which place in the clearest point of view the necessity of a thorough financial reform, and illustrate the manner in which an ill-regulated, and often oppressive, system of taxation has hitherto weakened the national resources, and checked the progress of our productive industry. Had the Finance Committee been allowed to continue its labours, these matters might have been fully investigated, but, inasmuch as their sittings were prematurely brought to a conclu sion, Mr. THOMSON has done the country good service, by bringing under the notice of the House and the public considerations of so great importance, which the Committee had not time to enquire and report upon. Mr. Thomsoil proposes to equalize the Duties on Timber,—to reduce those on Soap from 130 to 60 or 70 per cent., and to abolish those on Hemp, Barilla, Coals, Glass, Paper, and Printed Calicoes. These latter taxes are not sufficiently productive in themselves to be any very great object, the Re venue regulations concerning them are extremely vexatious, and the expense of collecting them is so great that if their net produce of 2,626,0001. were remitted, the public would be benefitted to the extent of 3,556,0001. All these articles are of primary necessity, and if the duties on them can not be collected at less than 28 or 29 per cent., there appears very forcible reasons for an alter ation. The business of a financier is to endea vour to raise a revenue in the least burthensome manner, and at the smallest cost, both which objects are directly contravened in these, among very many other, instances. It was a maxim of Dean SWIFT that, in the arithmetic of the Exchequer, two and two do not always make four. Mr. VANSITTART was, however, unable to understand this remark, and accordingly the Government, down to the time when Mr. ROBINSON became Chancellor of the Exchequer, acted on the principle that it was only necessary to raise the scale of duties to make money flow into the Treasury. Hence the necessity arose of establishing the coast blockade and Preventive Service—of incurring an enor mous expellee in the protection of the Revenue —of resorting to laws against smuggling which, to say the least, are encroachments upon the liberty of the subject—and of making the coast of England the scene of constant civil warfare, and not unfrequently of murder. Consumption has, however, fallen off, as might have been expected, except in regard to some articles, the duties on which have of late years been mitigated. Two instances referred to by Mr. THomsosr are alone sufficient to show the fallacy of high duties; the one, that a century ago 14,000 hogsheads of French wine were consumed in this country, while the present consumption does not exceed 1,400 hogsheads—and the other, that the in crease of taxation in Ireland, between 1807 and 1821, had actually diminished the Revenue at the latter period by 530,0001. ! Can it be believed that the Revenue gains by the present enormous duties on tobacco, foreign spirits, tea, wine, and j sugar, and that it would not be a most beneficial measure both to the Government and the public to reduce the tax on tobacco to ls. a pound—on foreign spirits to 10s. a gallon (which, even then, would be three times what the smuggler buys them for) —on tea to ten per cent.—on wines of all kinds to 3s. a gallon—and on sugar to 20s. per cwt. ? These are all articles which the physical comforts of the people stand in need of, and if they cannot afford to pay the duty they will smugglers, where an opport un ity offe employ rs.Atall events, if the happiness of num bers goes for any thing, it is interfered with to an unjustifiable extent by the present system. The taxation of Newspapers is a subject on which Journalists may be supposed to speak selfishly ; but when it is considered how power ful an instrument the Newspaper Press is for the advancement of the intellectual improvement of the people, and how convenient a vehicle it must always be to commercial and social intercourse, by means of advertisements, there are other motives very different from the interests of Pro prietors of Journals, which should induce the Government to remove the obstacles which now check their circulation. The number of Papers in the United States is, with reference to the popula tion, greater than in Great Britain by 5 to 1 ;and the advertisements annually inserted in the United States are ten millions, while, with us, they do not amount to one million. This fact alone speaks volumes for the wants of this country, whose transactions, and consequent need of ad vertisements, are so much more extensive than in America. The number of Newspapers circu lated in London is less for the population than in Paris, Brussels, Stockholm, St. Petersburgh, Geneva, Berlin, Leipsic, Weimar, and many other cities in Europe. Throughout Britain they are less numerous, not only in the United States, but than in the Netherlands, Prussia, and most parts of Germany. The circumstance of there not being a Daily Paper published in any other town than London and Dublin—not even in Edinburgh—shows how great the multi plication of Journals would probably be if they could he rendered less costly. We know of no measure that would be attended with so imme diate benefit to the Revenue as the reduction of the Newspaper Stamp to one penny, accompanied by a repeal of the Advertisement Duty, as sug gested by Mr. THomsoist, and most ably, enforced by the enlightened arguments of the Editor of the Scotsman, whose admirable letter to the CHANCELLOR of the ExcirEQuEn we published in The Sun of yesterday. The remarks of Lord ALTHORP appear ex tremely just. " Let relief," says his Lordship, " first be granted to the productive classes, and " then, if there be. a defcie►►cy, impose : a Pro' " perty Tax." This the landed interest, in ge' neral, object to, but we would ask a landed pre' prietor whether his greatest burthen does not et present arise from the distresses of the hibourieg classes, and the increase of pauperism arising from the dearness of articles of stibsistence is comparison with labour ? To invigorate i►►' dustry, and substantially improve the condition of the workman, would be an object for which a Property Tax of 10 per cent. would be most profitably paid. Such a tax is, however; only last resource ; the adoption of Mr. TuomsoN's : proposal for a Committee would, by no means,. have made its imposition a necessary conse quence, and, in fact, Lord PALMERSTON and others, who voted for the Committee, expressetl themselves hostile to a Property Tax altogether' The intelligence from the French ports th►s morning continues to speak of the great activitl prevailing there to fit out the expedition against Algiers. It would be ready for sea by the end of next month. The demand for vessels, ail transports, had undergone a very considerable advance, so ruinous indeed, that the merchants had refrained from shipping in consequence , This was particularly the case with oils, the ma' nuf►cture of which had been suspended. The Sardinian vessels had, by permission of the King of SARDINIA, been allowed to charter themselves as transports to the French Government. By accounts from Lisbon we learn that the troops in garrison there were increased, and that the forts on the Tagus had been strengthened. A King's messenger arrived at the Foreign Office, late last night, with despatches from Sir ROBERT GORDON, our Ambassador a t Con' stantinople.

The following is an extract of Bolivar's Address to the Constituent Assembly at Bogota, which refutes the marl reports of his aspiring to be crowned King of Colombia :--' " Legislators,—From this time forward liberty will be indestructable in America. You see that the savage ns' ture of this continent is of itself sufficient to repel the mo' narchical form of Government; deserts are favourable to independence ; here we have no Grandees, aristocratical of ecclesiastical; our riches were inconsiderable, and not( they are reduced in a still greater degree; though the Church enjoys some influence, she is far from aspiring to dominion, being satisfied with her own preservation , Without such support tyrants never remain permanent; and , if ambitious men should engage in raising empires for there' seh'es, the fate of Dessalines, Christophe, and Iturbide Will warn them of what they have to expect ; no power nude greater difficulty to maintain itself than that race. Buono' parte, who vanquished so many armies, could not succeed in overcoming this rule, which is stronger than empires' And if the great Napoleon was unable to maintain himself against the league of republicans and aristocrats, who m 59, hope to fi nd Monarchs in Am e ri c a, in a soil wa rme d a nd illuminated by the bright flames of liberty, in a soil which consumes the materials used for erecting these legal plat' forms. No, Legislators, fear not any pretenders, or asps' rants to crowns." Accounts from Hamburg state that the Elbe has been free from ice since the 14th of March ; 120 ships which were at Cuxhaven are on the eve of sailing from Eleineur ; they also state that the ice in the Sound has given way and separated to a considerable distance. According to accounts from Madrid, it appears that the new regulations of the Custom-house in the lower pros vinces met with great obstacles, particularly on the s ide of Vittoria and the Pyrenees, where the Custom-hoagie officers were obliged to employ force.
