SOLEA QUIS DICERE FALSUM AUDEAT ? LONDON, SATURDAY, APRIL 6, 1522. The improvement in the REVENUE is highly gratifying. The total produce of the quarter ended yesterday is 10,897,1561., being an in crease over the corresponding quarter last year of four hundred and twentpeight thousand nine hundred and sixty pounds! The produce of the whole year ended yesterday is 51,360,6651., being an increase over the produce of, last year of one million two hundred and sixty-one thousand two hundred and 'thirty-five pounds! !!--lt is su perfluous to, do more than congratulate the coun try on this prosperous result. . The official Ab stract will be found in another part of our Paper. It will be seen by our extracts from the French. Papers of Wednesday—(See FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE) that the rejection of the Russian Ultimatum, jeported in our Paper of yesterday and Thursday, is fully confirmed. The fate of ALt PACIIA has not only intoxicated the Turkish populace and soldiery, but the Divan itself, and the rejection of the Ultimatum has been communicated in insulting language to the Mi nisters of England and Austria. It appears that for the last month (that is since the capture pf ALI was certain) the Divan has been forminga new and numerous army at Nyssa, which is intended to oc cupy Upper Walachia : and that the army of the Grand Vizier has been marching on the Danube. Their answer to the propositions of. Russia would therefore seem to have been purposely delayed with a view of gaining time for the concentration of their forces. It is reported that Russia will be supported in the War against Turkey by the Allied Powers, and that negociations are now carrying on 'at Vienna, as to the dispo- sition of European Turkey in the event of the Turks being driven out of Europe ; and this circumstance accounts for the continued stay of M. de TATISCIIEFT in the Austrian capital, which might otherwise appear unnecessary after 'the rejection of the Ultimatum. Austrian me tallies fell at Vienna, on the 23d ultimo, to 74 5-16ths, and Bank Stock to 668 2-sths. The Letters from Constantinople, dated the 6th ult. received .this morning, positively assert that the Russian Ultimatum has been rejected, though the Turkish Government is strongly dis posed towards peace. The riotous disposition of the Janissaries, however, hay overcome the pacific views of the Divan, and compelled them to decide on war. Letters from Cadiz state that that city is to be made a free Tort. Extract of a Letter from Washington, dated March G. The Board of Commissioners for deciding on claims under the Spanish Treaty are most industriously engaged in the bu siness. Important points are occasionally decided ; a decision was yesterday announced which is favourable to the admission of a description of claims, embracing a considerable amount, viz. those cases of captures by French privateers, where the vessels were carried into Spanish Ports, and the prizes disposed of by the captors, without the form of trial or condemnation. We havelately noticed on more than one oc 'casion the system now in full activity, of vilify :44lg the House of Commons, both collectively, and through its individual Members. The object -proposed in this line of conduct is to lessen the authority, and, if possible, to trample down the - independence, of that body, till it shall no longer dare to exercise the right of deliberation upon any measures which may be dictated in the name 01' cc the people," by a thoughtless multitude, and theii interested misleaders. Various means are adopted for the furtherance of this design; sometimes abusive and contemptuous petitions are sent into the House ; sometimes individual representatives are loaded with every term of contumely, either 'launched forth openly in the names of public bodies, or voided in obscurity by anonymous assailants. In defiance of the most salutary and indisputable privilege, Mem bers have been publicly denounced during aSes sion of Parliament for particular votes and ex pressions of opinion in that Parliament, with an audacity perhaps never equalled since the Com moners who voted against Lord STRATFORD'S attainder were posted in hand-bills throughout London, as the C 4 Straffordians or Enemies to their country." In pursuance of the same system of hostilities, some laborious zealot has proposed to publish at the end of every Parliamentary Session, a list of members, illustrated by references to their votes on particular occasions ; so that if we can not have Annual Parliaments, the public may at least enjoy an annual repetition of election puffs and squibs in all their luxuriance of alternate in vective and adulation. The first of these dainty messes has been served up lately in the Pam phleteer, and is entitled The Elector's Remem brancer. We cannot help, by the way, express ing our astonishment that a compilation aiming at real utility, and aspiring o a place in respect able libraries, should have afforded room within its covers to so mean an effusion of absolute radi calism.- If the conductors of the Pamphleteer thought in necessary, for the sake of extending and varying the view of modern periodical litera ture, to give a specimen of Radical tract-writing, we think they have by no means done justice to our Jacobins in producing such a sorry sample of their ingenuity, knowledge and powers of com- position. The author of this Remembrancer conceives, as he informs the public, that 'a number of our representatives have been for a long time " un ronsciously feeding on disgrace ;" and " the suf ferings of those who had the providing in the different stages for the appetites of the aforesaid gentlemen" (but who these purveyors, of " dis grace" are he does not tell us) have roused him to the task of making this compilation, in hopes that the foul feeders " may sicken at the sight of their own grossness." He has therefore searched the Parliamentary Reports and certain News paper files, and from the lists of majorities and minorities contained in these full and authentic records he has collected the materials which are to act as an emetic on our Legislators. The ex hibition of grossness, our Readers will be sur prised to learn, after such a menacing preamble, consists of a brief note of the manner in which Ministerial and Opposition Members have voted during the last two Sessions, not on-all the great questions of policy that have come before the House, but on five subjects which this writer considers to be infallible tests of senatorial _in tegrity—The QUEE N —the Grant of Arrears to the Duke of CLARENCE—CathoIic Emancipation —Repeal of Taxes—and Reduction of Establish ments. One would have thought that on some of the many and varied questions which arose out of the late QUEEN'S case, a difference of opi nion might have /prevailed among the most up right and honourable men ; and that considera tions of policy and public faith might sometimes be supposed to have suggested a conscientious doubt on the propriety of repealing some taxes, or reducing some establishments. But no—to have voted f. the Qu. (such are the compiler's affected abbreviations) is an indisputable title to patriotic distinction, as on the other hand, a voice given ag. the Qu. imprints upon the utterer an indelible stamp of reprobation; no explanations are asked, no distinctions made; and he who has divided " ag. rep. or red." no matter what was the occasion, is required, if he yet retain any spark of grace, to fall sick immediately at the thought of his " own grossness "! Such is Ra dical liberality. Nor is this all. It_ is likewise expected that Gentlemen will be taken ill forthwith, who have not attended, or at least who have not been men tioned in " DEnRETT'S Debates," or " the lead ing newspapers," as .having attended when divi sions took place on the subjects above enume rated. The compiler is extremely indignant at the thought that " Mr. Well-dressed" should be dancing quadrilles at " Lady Full-rooms," (such is his elegant manner of satirizing the abuse), when he ought to be cheering Messrs. HUME and CREEVEY in the House of Commons; and that the same fashionable deserter should, the next morning, be in the midst of a dream about the " charming Miss De la Gorge," when he ought to be tearing his hair in vexation " at the un checked extravagance of Ministers." When, therefore, he has searched his repertories in vain for the name of any Member, he immediately decides that the Gentleman is a confirmed ab, sentee, and either writes down " nulla vestigia," or bestows upon him some such dignified reproof as the following " Anglesea.—Earl of UXBRIDGE.—A pretty sort of a Sena torial Gentleman this. Whenever, however, (suffice it to say of such a Representative), he was present on a,division, he voted in favour of Ministers." Our Readers may guess what line of conduct is expected from Members when they do attend by a writer who pull's Mr. HustE and Mr. CREEYEY, The Times and The Scotsman, in , veighs against the " bigotry of the priesthood," reprobates the Protestant Establishment at pre sent maintained in Ireland, mentions the war of the French Revolution as a❑ attempt to " thwart the French in their struggle for freedom," pro. moted by " corrupt tools of a bigotted King," and " interested associations of the commercial branches ;" treats the battle of Waterloo as an event to be regretted ; and speaks of his present MAJESTY in terms which we will not repeat, even for the purpose of exposing them to just re probation. Unless occupied with matter of more conse quence, we may, perhaps, return to this subject, for the sake of pointing out a few entertaining specimens of Radical candour and consistency. IRELAND. -On the 29th ult. Waller and Robert Coppinger (father and son), and were executed at Tralee. These wretcled men died penitent ; but it was long before the younger Coppingcr could be brought to forgive his father for having set the example of embarking in those violations of the law which brought them to an untimely end. The Cork County Calendar now contains the names of 380 prisoners for trial ; viz. robberies and petty offences, 127; White boy offences, 120 ; cattle stealing, 51 ; vagrancy, 32 ; murder, 24 ; rape, 9 ; house burning, 9; Ellenborough Act, 4 ; passing forged notes, 5; smuggling, 9.—At the Cork Special Sessions, on Tuesday, ,three men were tried under the Insur rection Act, and acquitted. We received this morning a letter from a very intelligent and judicious Correspondent in the vicinity of Ipswich, who gives a very alarm ing account of the state of affairs in Suffolk , and the neighbouring county. lie is too wise to take things upon trust, and of too firm a mind to feel any unwarranted alarms. He says that the provincial Journalists seem afraid of representing matters in their true light, lest they should draw calamities on themselves. Fires, it appears, are incessantly taking place in all directions in those counties, particularly in a district from 10 to 15 and 20 miles from Ipswich, and they are obviously the l*sult of a system deeply rooted and of wide extent. Indeed from the progress of events, it may be supposed to have some connexion with the horrors daily perpetrating in Ireland. The fire at Mr. BYLES'S last week has already been men tioned in the public prints, and two more dread ful fires have occurred this week, one at Coombs, near Needham Market, and another more exten sive on last Thursday night, at Mr. VLsEy's, of Framsden, about nine or ten miles from Ipswich. Mr. VESEY is a tenant of the Countess of Dysaar, whose fine old mansion, Helmingham Hall, is within a mile or two of Framsden. But lament able as these events are, they are still more alarming, as it appears certain that they are the _effect of a plan now in full activity, and exactly similar to that which prevails in Ireland, that of establishing a system of terror by anonymous and incendiary letters to a great number of persons in Ipswich and in its environs, and among others to one of the chief Magistrates, a letter of the most atrocious description, a copy of which has -been sent to the Secretary of State. In some of the first of these letters •the mansions of many Of the principal gentlemen in the outskirts of the town were threatened to be burned on last Monday, and it was stated that a large body of people from the country would assemble on the Cornhill. ft was, however, observed that it was not likely that the miscreants would give previous notice of their intentions, lest they might be defeated, and that as Monday was the first of April, that it was perhaps a wanton trick for that day. The threats, therefore, under this idea excited a laugh. The threats, however, were soon carried into execution by the tremend ous fires this week at Mr. Byt,Es's, the other two at Coombs and Framsden, and another which it is said took place on Thursday night at Horham, not far from Eye. The inhabitants in general now regularly look round the horizon after (lark, with the almost certain expectation of seeing fires in some direction. Ipswich itself has been threatened with a conflagration in four quarters of the town at once. Some of the crowd (but the individuals could not .be discovered) threatened the Staff of the East Suffolk Militia, and with foolish incon sistency advised them " to take care of their stores.". In consequence six hundred stand of arms, and all the clothing, &c. &c. have been removed to a place of safety, if any place can be safe in such a state"of things, by order of Go vernment. What is still more alarming is the language openly heard both at Mr. BYLES'S fire, and by many of the lower orders since, " that they would be glad if half the town or county were burned, as there would be plenty of work." Another Terriarkable circumstance which has been ascertained is, that not only in Ipswich and its neighbourhood, but in several parts of the country round, strangers in decent and good apparel have gone about making in quiries, even of children, ". who lived at such farms and houses, where the Overseers lived, and what was thought of the fires, at Ipswich ?" A Gentleman whose house was burned has been told by one of his workmen, that a stranger, an Irishman, had said to him he might get plenty of work and good wages, by following the example of his countrymen in Ireland, and setting fire to barns, &c. &c. People are afraid of taking these strangers into custody, lest their own dwellings steduld be destroyed the same night. This, we lament to say, is no exaggerated feature, and it is conjectured that these atrocities are committed in this country, in order to prevent the sending of more troops to Ireland, by the necessity of keeping them for protection here.—We shall re sume this subject on Monday, as it is one of the utmost importance to our domestic safety, and perhaps involves the very security of the existing Government, NIMIMMIN. 0...,........... formed lued by ied indi- !lave not iappy to ;ent Co- 'ENCE'S dition of e to the was Ur. the stig -1804-5, lOarci of though tolerated t of the ron.

Two mails have arrived from Flanders, by which letters haVe been received from Antwerp, dated on Tuesday evening. By these it appears, that an express had been received there from Frankfort on that day, bringing information that the Porte had rejected the terms of peace offered her by Russia. By the same conveyance extensive orders to sell foreign Stock were received at Antwerp, and a decline of from 3 to .4 per cent. took place on every description of foreign securities, but more particularly on the Austrian Metallic Fives, which fell fully 4 per cent.— This was a close holiday in the city, but still considerable iety was exhibited by gentlemen concerned in the funds. Some iGd not believe that any express had been received yesterday from Paris, and relied on the Monday's quotation of the Rentes being the latest, the papers published under Tuesday's date be ing known to be printed on the preceding day. That there was an expres§ yesterday, however, there can be no doubt, and that this express quoted a decline of nearly 3 per cent. from the quo tations of Monday is equally certain. Scarcely any : private transactions took. place here in Forei,gn Securities, with the ex ception of the Spanish Bonds, in which bargains were made at 67i for cash, and at GB4 payment in the. end of April. The pub lic observe, with great satisfaction, that there is an increase of the revenue of the last quarter of upwards of 400,0001. because it will enable the :Ministers to reduce at least the Salt Tax, and to perform their promises to the - country.. There is scarce ly any business doing in any department of commerce, and prices remain nominally the same for the last two days._ (Morning Chronicle. ) FUNERAL OF SIR JOHN SILVESTER. This morning the remains of the above highly respected Gentleman were removed from his late residence in Blooms bury-square, for interment in the family-viult, at Chingford in Essex. At half-past 10 o'clock, the mournful procession began to move, at a solemn pace, in the following manner :—llorse men two and two ; the plume of feathers ; supporters with staves ; the Hearse, drawn by six fine black horses, followed by four mourning-coaches and four, containing the following Gentlemen as mourners, viz.. P. C. Silvester, Esq. Captain Hardy man, Mr.' Comiatissioner Reynolds, three Mr. Davis's, two Mr. Trains ; Messrs. Cook, Arabin, May, Bellamy, Dyne ley, and Williams. The Deceased's private carriage and pair. —The procession was closed with upwards of twenty Gentle mens' carriages, including those of Lord Chief-Justice 'Abbott, Chief-Justice Dallas, Mr. Common Serjeant, Sir Francis Free ling, Messrs. Shaw, Lefevre, Reynolds, Mdy, Holford, Tur ner, Roberts, Williams, Eagleton, &c. &c. The title of the' deceased descends to his heir male, Captain Silvester, of the Army, who, it is stated, will, a t th e d ea th o f Lady Silvester, inherit also the deceased's not inconsiderable property. The circumstances attending . the death of the Baronet hare not yet been stated with accuracy. Sir John was in bed with Lady Silvester at the time he breathed his last, and his dissolution having taken place, was discovered by Lady Silvester's maid, who entered the apartment to dress her • Lady at the usual hour in the morning ; and on her going round the bed, on the side where her master lay, to fetch some articles of apparel, she was desired by Lady Sylvester not to make a noise, as Sir John went to bed late, and she did not wish him to be disturbed. The maid, in conse quence of her lady's remark, looked round, and ' accident ally saw the face of Sir John covered with a deadly pale ness; she was convinced,' on looking more particularly at him, that he was a corpse, and determined to conceal the fact for a time, lest the circumstance might be so alarming as to be dan gerous to Lady Silvester, if suddenly disclosed to her. She proceeded to attend her mistress, but her agitation was so extreme that her lady demanded the cause, and she was compelled to state that she wa fearful Sir John was dead. —Lady Silvester's distress cannot be adequately described. —Medical aid was called in, but it was found the deceased had been dead for some hours. The Coroner for the county attended at the house of the deceased, on being informed of the event, and, after, hearing a report of. Sir John's previous illness from the Medical Gentlemen, he decided that an in'- quisition (which it was thought could not be dispensed with) was not at all necessary ; for though the death was sudden, yet the deceased being subject to spasmodic attacks of the chest, such indisposition was likely to prove fatal. BRIGHTON, A NUL 4.—The KING, in excellent health, has been on the Palace Lawn to-day, but has no otherwise been in public. The weather has not been very inviting to out-door exercise. Yesterday afternoon, Viscount CHATEAU BRIAND, the newly-appointed French Ambas sador, arrived at the elegant mansion in Port land-place, lately taken, repaired, and magni: ficently furnished for his reception. his Excel lency was accompanied by a numerous suite, in five different carriages. A sumptuous dinner was prepared on the occasion, and a numerous train of servants were in attendance, dressed in grand state liveries of scarlet, richly embroidered in gold lace. Yesterday a solemn High Mass; and grand Te Deem, was celebrated in the different Catholic Chapels in town. At Warwick-street Chapel most of the Catholic Nobi lity attended Divine Service ; and the musical department received the additional assistance of several of the most dis tinguished singers of the King's Theatre, who gave great effect to the various solemn pieces of Handel and Nlozart, which were chaunted. We understand that Sir JAMES MACINTOSH will accept of the office of Recorder of the City of London should he receive the appointment.— ( The Times.) Yesterday, being Good Friday, the DEAN of WESTMINSTER preached before the Nobility,' at the Chapel Royal, St. James's. It has at length been decided by the Commis sioners of the Insolvent Court, that the benefit of the present Act does not extend to married women. The King's Palace, St. James's, had been, for some time 'till lately, in a very disorderly , state, occasioned by , fiumerous persons of the lowest and most depraVed..state re sorting there, and also to the srenues leading to the Palace, many of the persons of this description sleeping in corners and ' other parts of the Palace, remaining there all night. The nui sance had got to that pitch, that the Duke of Ironic and others, residing within the precincts of the Palace, could not pass to anti from their residences without being annoyed and insulted., The military , on duty on the King's guards were not equal to remedy the evils complained of, when the Dake of YORK ap plied to the Board of Gieen Cloth, and upon an inquiry it was found that constables had not power in the Palace, and the only civil power was the Marshalmen, and the consequence was, one of them was ordered to attend regularly in rotation, which has been done for some time past, and the greatest order and regularity now prevail, the disorderly persons alluded to being prevented from remaining. Mr. Bnowli, the keeper of Newgate , having obtained the appointment of the situation of Waren of the Fleet Prisop, a vacancy arises for the Governorship of his Majesty's gaol ,of Newgate. Several, persons are already mentioned as the successor to Mr. BROWN, and among others, Mr. TEAGUE, the keeper of the Giltspur-street Compter ; but 'that Gentleman declined accepting the appointment when offered him on a former occasion. We have been informed that Mr. WONTNER, the City Marshal, is the person who is Most likely to have the ap pointment.—(Morning Paper.) SINGUL*R. AND AWFUL CIRCUMSTANCE.—At the Warwick .Assizes, on Monday last, an action was brought to set aside the codicil of a will, and thereby, got possession of a legacy of 2001. and about nine acres of land. Two of the wit nesses for the plaintiff were guilty of such gross prevarication, that the Jury, without hesitation , returned a verdict for the de fendant ; and the Judge, after indignantly commenting upon their criminal audacity, and observing that two others (whom his Lordship did not more-particularly specify) appeared to be implicated, ordered them to be committed for perjury. At this moment a person informed the Court that the plaintiff; who was apparently in good health in the, morning, had died suddenly at one o'clock in the day. The Workhouse at Frome, was broken open and robbed , on Wednesday last!

Wednesday, a Meeting of the Freeholders and Inhabitants of the County of Huntingdon took place in the Shire Hall, pur suant to advertisement, in order to address. Parliament on the present alarming state of. Agricultural Distress, and to petition for a Reform in the House of Commons. The High Sheriff, C. PEMBERTON, Esq. was in the chair. Air. HAM MOND addressed the Meeting at consideable length on the objects for which they were assembled, and concluded by proposing a series of Resolutions to the effect that Agri culture, the great source of national wealt . a, was in a de pressed state--that the farmers were in such distress that they could apprehend nothing but ruin to themselves and families, unless some effectual remedy be speedily applied. That the source of this misery, by which neither the landlords could re ceive a compensation for their land, nor the farmers a remu neration for their labour and the employment of their capital, was in the abuse of the funding system, and in mortgaging the revenues of the country beyond its natural resources. That the only preventions of the like evils for the time to come are to be sought in retrenchment and reform ; in a reduction of taxation, and a more equal representation of the People. A Petition, founded on these Resolutions, to the House of Commons, was then read, and both seconded by Mr. Tycho Wing, and on being put to the vote, were both carried without a dissentient voice. Mr. DAVID WEL Ls moved that the Petition be presented to Parliament by the County Members. Mr. MATtGETTS, of Huntingdon, said he quite agreed with the sentiments of the Meeting as to the distressed state of agri culture, but he was sorry that Parliamentary Reform was men tinned in the Petition. Several other Gentlemen addressed the Meeting, after which it was dissolved. EXECUTION. CANTERBURY, APRIL s.—Yesterday morning, pursuant to their sentences, at the last - Assizes for this county, the five following unfortunate malefactors suffered the extreme pcialty of the law, on Penenden Heath, viz. :—John Bell, for burg lary in the house of Dr. Forster Pigott, at Mereworth ; Daniel Fagg, John Wilsden, Edward Rolfe, and John Meredith, fcr assembling with fire-arms, and assisting in the illegal landing of uncustomed goods, on the 2d of September last, at Marsh Bay, near Margate, when Mr. Washington Carr, an officer, and Thomas Cook, a seaman of the Coast Blockade, were wounded. They were conveyed from the gaol soon after eleven o'clock in the forenoon, in the accustomed manner, to the place of exe - cution, where they all conducted themselves with great fortitude and resignation. Bell first addressed the surrounding spectators, warning young men especially to avoid the company of abandoned females, by whom he said he had been deluded and betrayed into his present awful situation. The others severally spoke with mu cl firmness; Fagg said that he took the 9s. for his night's service for the sake of his wife and family, and did not consider it wrong to be engaged in smuggling ; Wilsden solemnly asserted that •he had In° fire armsin his possession ; Rolfe said, that the witness who deposed that he had fired five times had sworn falsely, as he fired only twice; and. Meredith declared that he did not fire at any of the blockade men. All, hOwever, declared their cheer ful forgiveness of their prosecutors, and hoped that God would do the same. The Executioner having 'made the necessary preparations, they were launched into eternity, and after hanging the usual time, their bodies were cut down, and those of the four latter delivered to their relatives, who were in waiting with a waggon near the place of exe cution, to convey them to this City, where they had resided, for interment. The assemblage to witness the execu tion was immense, the number being calculated at from 10,000 to 15,000 persons. Too much hope had been en couraged of a reprieve for these unfortunate men till Tues day morning, when the arrival of the death warrant dissi pated every expectation, and they became composed and resigned to their fate. A Petition from this 'City, very numerously signed, in the hope that their lives might be preserved, had been delivered by our worthy Member, Mr. Lushington, to the Home Secretary of State, but we under; stand that the Right Hon. Gentleman expressed his regret that he did not feel it consistent with his duty to interfere with the decision of the Jury and the Judges.—John Gill, convicted and sentenced with the above, but reprieved, has since died in the ' jail.—( Kentish Gazette. ) Robert Hanlon, private in the Ist Royals, a native of the County Wicklow, has offered to fight any man in England, or elsewhere, of his own weight (14 stone,) or a stone heavier, except his own Countrymen.
