VII:W OF TUE FINANICIAL SYSTI•NI Of THE
KINGDONI OF ITALY.
Italy is the subjed of the new Continental Wu?,
which has set all Europe in motion, and the issue of
the tremendous contest will decide the future poli
tfcal fate of this tine peninsula, which is now entif el
dependant on France. An authentic statement co
the financial system of the new kingdom, founded h,
Napoleon, with which the public have hitherto been
unacquainted, cannot, at the present moment, prove
nainteresting. It furnishes a standard for judging
of the power and internal enereas of this state, com-
posed of so many various countries, and so inti-
mately canoodles! with France, by its subjeCtion to
the saute bead.
STATEMENT OT THE FINANCES FOR THE YEAR
1110.

The expenditure of the kingdom of Italy amounts,
for the present year, to the sum of 88,670,000 lire,
(about 5.140,0001. sterling). The sources from
which this sum is obtained, are the lond-tax, in•
shred taxes, and revenues. Its application appears
from the fullowing list of the public expenses.

To cover the arrears of 1804, and the preceding
years, a credit of four millions of I;,r, in national
domains, is placed at the disposal of Government,
and all claims of an older date to national property,
Ore declared void. By the Monte Napoleon, is de-
noted the administration of the fund for consolidat-
ing and paying off the debt of the State. This in-
stitution, likewise. takes on itself the sum of 15
millions of hetes Tournois of the national debt of
Piedmont, for which it pays annually 600,000 iirr
to France, at the rate of 3 per cent. for the union of
the districts between the Sesia. the Po, and the
I icino, formerly belonging to Piedmont, with the
kingdom of Italy.

6,61'l children, and 200 adults ; and administeted
the sacrament to 108,352 communicants. The
present Monarch, who has recovered the sove-

Christians as much as the former illegitimate • pos-
sessor of the throne persecuted them.
It is remarked, that since Napoleon entered Ger-

him at three or four different places at a time.

In a statistical work just published at Brunswick
by Mr. George Hassel, the total number of inhahit-

Seventeen thousand stand of ATMs, clothing, ac-
coutrements, &c. are ordered to be sent immediately
to Hanover, in addition to a supply of these
articles for 20,000 men, carried ont in the transports
which conveyed the troops under General Dow.
—The serpent's teeth sown by the French must rise
in armed men, and Government thence evidently
expeEt to muster a force of 30,000, at least, in
that Eleftorate. The expedition under General
Dow arrived off Heligoland in very foul wea•
then, when the Alert armed ship took charge of
it, and proceeded to Cuxhaven, where the troops
and horses were landed safe on the 15th. We have
been mistaken, in common with our contemporaries,

in asserting that a second expedition, upon a much
larger scale, will speedily follow. Preparations are,
no doubt, making for a force of .50,000, including
10,000 cavalry ; and, if so great an exec tion were
necessary to the deliverance of Europe, England
would make it; but it is only in contemplation of
such a crisis, that so large a force is now preparing.
Its aftual departure from this country must depend
upon contingencies.

The afaielape, Rear-Admiral Sir SIDMLY SMITH,
with the squadron under his command, arrived on
Sunday evening in the Downs. We understand,
that every thing was prepared, and the ships and
launches were ready to commence the attack, when
a sudden squall and change of wind to N. W. ren-
dered it necessary for the squadron to haul off the
shore. The change was so sudden, and the situa-
tion so critical, the squadron must have been in great
danger, had they lost a moment to effeet their escape.
They suffered some damage, but not to any consi-
derable extent, while off the French coast. The
Brier gun-brig, for the safety of which we stated,
last week. serious fears were entertained, is generally
supposed to have blown up. It is also said, that
the boat of the 40444 Sir Smut Ss; Ines ship,
was driven on shore, and that 14 of his Iwst men,
who were on board her, were made prisoners.—
Three, some accounts say six, of the launches. went
down in the gale ; but their crews were saved.
The loss, however, has not been accurately nice-
mined ; nor is it known whether the attempt will be
speedily renewed. The French boats were secured
with cables, for the purpose of being drawn on
shore, in case of an attempt to board them.
