YEs.rttir4v .;ve received Path joumah to the 23 :1. inst, inclusive, and this morning one Paper of tht z4th. Thsale'Which reached us Yesterday are of ttY highest impoitimeteat they cont4:n a State Varier , published by the Government of Puttee., which' will be read with, peculiar interest by the People of this Country. The Moniteur of the 2zd presents us with another Article on the Finances of this Country, which is almost as remarkable as the former for profound ig. norance, or wilful misrepresentations - We say al. most, because the pretended annual deficit in the. Revenue of Great Britain is here reduced to Eleven Millions ; before it was Twenty-seven MillionS : thus in a few days a difference has been made of Six. teen Millions. Who, after this, will believe the Moniteur? The Writer of these very luminous re. fledions is M. de GuElt, Author ofan Essay on Com. mcrcial Credit. Who this Gentleman is we know not, but we think he had better obtain some further infot. illation upon the .sublett befOre , he makes another attempt to write upon the Finances of England.,- 7 Compelled to acknowledge, in Some measure, the flourishing state& our Revenue, he says k that other States tu'ay easily becotoe possessed "of. ,the same; advantages, if they will hät imitate this coun'try.'s So they may,, but where zre the. means ? M. GVElti: in his zeal sto serve the cause which he is retained to support, has forgot:en to giyelany datt for pro... curing the moans upon which a similar financial pro." 'verity most be founded. After some statements. of the Dcht, Revenue, and Expenditure of Great Britain, in which this notable deficit of eleven usilliuns .is lugged in, and an unwilling tri. bute to the talents of Mr. PITT, we are told, and it is rather an aukward confession, that a revenue of ,thirty-seven, -Millions can be raised, in Etigland witllPUt, any difficulty, upon twelve Mil.. lion of'Nrsorts, and thirty-four millions of pro dudive acres ; whilst a poor Revenue of little more . than twenty Millions .cannot be raised in France upon thirty Millions, of inhabitants, and one hun. dred Millions of fertile ACres, without exciting, clamours and discontent. flow is this to be ac. counted for ? That is the next question. Superior wealth M. GUER . Will not allow us, because thirty millions of AereS, anti twelve Millions Of English-, men, rwittot produce so touch as one hundred Millions of Acres of tsuperiot fertility, and thir:. ty Millions of Frenchmen equal in industry, and superior in adivityk therefore we cannot pos sess a greater degree of wealth ! It cannot be' Commerce which produces wealth'to this Country : What then? Why truly, because the greater part of our Taxes are imposed upon Consumption, instead of being Dired Contributions, as is the case in France. This is the sole cause of our increased wealth and superior resources. After such a speci. men of fair reasoning and couclitsii , e argument, WC think it would be insulting our Readers to detain them any longer upon this stabled. On the State Paper which the Moniteur of the • z3d has furnished us with, we.shall probably think it right to make some ob,ervations in to-morrow's or Wednesday's Paper. Those parts of the Ft RST CoNW Lis Address to the I .egislati ye . Body, which, particularly point at this Country, cannot fail to be interesting, and may lead todifierent conclusions. The Paper itself we have given at length in our subsequent Columns. The Ad' of Mediation respelling Switzerland-, was formally announced by the 'FT RST CONSUL, to the ten .1/:puties, previously eleded by the Helvetic Consulta, at the Thuilleries, on the r9th instant, in the presence of the Ministers, the Senate, and the Council of St,ite. On the zrst the whole of the Fifty-six DeputieS were introduced to the Fr asr CoNsur., The latter in his conference with the Deputies, is said to have inveighed against the con_ duct of the old G )verninent of Switzerland, and of the late Republican Government, the former for its Ambition, and the latter for its Cowardice. The Bishopric of Passau W:l3 stilt occupied by the Amstrians, on the i 3th instant. A :report dr. still prevalent in Italyi that Sardinia is to be ceded to Great Britain. • • Twelve 'hundred men arc about to sail immediate ly from Drokirk for St. Domingo ; six hundred have already sailed from iinvic for the same destination. • Several Ships of the Line are, it is Said, to be built, during the course of the present•year,' in the Southern Ports of France. Three Orators of .Goiernment were introduced tp the Legislative 'BOdy, at its Sitting of the 23d, instant, one of whom, read the preliminary title of the Civil Code, after which the Legislative'Body ordered the rrojet to he printed, together with the motives developed by 1 ., rcil; rnr. rs, one'of the Orators employed on that oc‘4on.' The French. Funds have risen to 60. 60. We never remember a period, even in times of the mast profound Peiice, when the Public' Mind appeared to be in a more composed and tranquil state than at present. This may perhaps be camidered by some as evraotdinary, when it is recolleaed that. Negotiations may possibly . be at this moment eqrrying on between . the' flglish?nd French Go veMicntio• 14. Te3oll 4f 1/4,;1411 may be of the t.;, irbst impoktinee to bath countries, and to Europe .itsejr., The Treaty of Amiens has not yet been 7 eOMPletely carried into efieli - urttt liifficulties in its . . final ,accomplisliment may. present themselves to .thOse:, who, like ourselves, can only forM their judgments from circumstances which are notorious to all. Professing ourselves 'wholly ignorant even of the topics which may be the subjea. of diplo matic intercourse between -the two Countries, we are :by no,meini disposed, as we never have been, to amuse our Readers with.any idleipecUlations on the present state of things. We know that we have a Government, observant ) , vigilant, and. firm ; and, wholly indifferent to the charge of adulation and subserviency, re d idily leave it, to the Public to de termine, whether our confidence doe's or dots not sympathise' with the feelings and, opinions of our Countrymen at large. , . On the final adjustment, if it may be so called, of the SwisS.Constitution, it docs,not appear to us at all neceiiary to'make any comment . at. present. To the welfare and interests of that Country we are as much as ever, aliye. If the event should prove that it is intended to restore to that once bap. py Country,—the undisturbed enjoyment of those whicitfor centuries they had so super. eminently possessed, we shall be amongst the foremost :to 'rejoice, and 'to congratulate them. In proportion as we prize Liberty and Independence : ourselves, our sympathies will dispose us to look anxiously for•th,:ir preservation i'n.other Countries, especially .where they seem to be of their .natural growth, But, however.eligible this new Cmistitu tion my at first sight appear,. when compared to what might have been 'ex . Paled from the diflation of a Foreign Power, we never can, consider that. as genuine Liberty which is presented as a boon by the hand of I)espotistu. The' true Swiss; ti.) whom his independenee.has been almost the go,d pfhis idolatry, and who has with anguish 'witnessed the storms that have etticed its genuine charatter, will perhaps in his mountainous retreat have made up his .mir j d on this sad subjefi, „He will have said or have felt, • • ' Laiido 7 tnanentem : si diem qefit " Pennas, re6gno qua: &lit, err ei ." Virtute me involvo, probarnque " Pauperiem sine doielttro„" It is matter of infinite satisfaaion to us to ob.. serve the unanimity which has throughout pervaded all ranks and descriptions of People, on the arrest, the trial, and the execution of Colonel Despird, ?quf his accomplices. Vigilance in His Majesty's Ministers, in the deteelion of this most toul con spiracy, has been followed up by wisdom in our Courts of- Justice, and firmness in giving cleft to the verdict of an upright and unbiassed Jury. To mwt of our cotemporary journalistsi, we are ready to give full credit for the course which they have pursued, md the language they have held, on this ►memorable occasion. The life of a beloved .Monarch is dear ti) us all, howgver we may differ in Political Opinions : perhaps, if interested views did not sometimes unhappily obscure the appear. ance of it, the love of the Constitution is ne less dear. It is not possible for 'us to contemplate, or to conceive, a state of more Happiness; and, let us add, of more Security than what thii Island must afford us,..werp the same unanimity, differing still about .Men as we pleased, to animate the whole mass of the CoMmunity . in :Support of those Principles, on the Maintenance of which our solid Comforts and our best Hopes so essentially and tally depend.
