We learn from Dunki.k that three travellers
(merchants) who lodged in the Hotel de Flandres,
in that city, having hired a boat on the Ist of this
month, to row about in the harbour for their amuse-
ment, had the imprudence to communicate with •
vessel which was sailing for Flushing or Antwerp;
but it is not kuowu whence it came. nor what com-
munication it had on the voyage with other %marls.
These persons have, in consequence of their im-
prudence, been put under quartfttine for ■ time,
which has not yet been used. However, one of the
owners of the boat having remained on board the
vessel as pilot, the inugi.trates wait for his return
to punish him, and an answer from the several ports
in the Scheldt, to which they have written without
delay, in order to know how long the seclusiou of
the delioquents must continue.

Dee eeeee on the Quarter ....
This decrease of 805,598/. in the quarter, com-
pared with the produce of the corresponding quar-
ter of last sear, is the more discoutagiug, when it
is considered that there was an increase in that
quarter of 837,264/. compared with the corre-
sponding quarter of 1820.
It wilt be seen in the above table that there is in
the C•stotus, Stamps, Post-office, and Miscel-
laneous, • total increase of 198.2051, but it is
more then counterbalanced by the falling off in
the Excise, amounting to no less than 819,2294
This decrease in that great brunch of revenue is
attributed to the repeal of the duties on malt, salt,
and leather, clueing the last Session of Parliament.
The produce of these articles in the quarter ended
10th October. MI, was 3,361,1954 ; but a Mi-
nisterial Paper of last evening states, that in the

i 805,598

quarter jolt Enda they hove only productd
2,411.9781.-i—atsking a different of 1,139x2171.
To this it inlay be 'objected dist the reduction of
'the ink duty will sot take place until the Ist of
lanoary ; but admitting that, iiic-onientplatten of that
event, the dealers have Ihmted.their presetit stock,yet
this will trot satisfactorily account for io great a de-
crease in the Excise for the quarter as 819,229/.—
The reduction of a duty upon any article may be
expected to produce increased consumption; but
from the treat falling off in the Excise, there is
reason to apprehend that the Consumption has not
increased. Indeed, the decrease in the assesstd
times, amounting to 140,304/. in the quarter just
ended, affords toleralr!'y conclusive evidence of
reduced expenditure in all the branches of do-
mestic economy connected with the Excise. In-
dependent of the effect of the reduction of taxes,
it is totally impossible that the Revenue must out
suffer from the inevalent distress of the country,
the existence o 7 which no minion of Ministers,
however blessed in his own tilde with ease and
affluence, run pretend to deny. In Ireland the
payments into the Exchequer, from the 5,11 July to
the 28th September, it is said have fallen short of
the corresponding payments in the corresponding
interval of last year in a sum ,of 80,347/.; and that
the whole diminution from the sth January to the
2.511. September was no more than 103.632/. The
Evening Paper from which we have copied this state-
ment considers the result at highly favourable, con-
sidering i he distress which lies latt!y prevailed in some
parts of that country ; but this is not a correct view
of the subject. The distress arose out of the failure
of the potato crop, the general sustenance of the
poor, and their want of means to buy. But what
has been the effect of that state of things? Money
and provisions have poured into those parts of
the country from England, and also from parts of
Ireland not afflicted by the visitation. This sup-
ply of wealth, where nothing but poverty and
misery prevailed before, even in the best of times—
this activity of commerce among a population
which, in their highest wealth and prosperity, were
accustomed to subsist merely on the produce of
their potato garden—must have proved beneficial
and not injurious to the Revenue.

The Paris Papers of Tuesday hove arrived. Gen.
BERTON WAS executed at Poitiers on Saturday.
His associates, &swats and JAGLIN, will suffer at
Thouars, to which place they have been transfeired.
The other Prironer, Dr. CAFFE, c.•mmitted suicide.
A few hours before the time fixed for his execution
he contrived to sever the femoral artery with a sharp
imtrumeut, and bled to death.

The intelligence from the east is satisfactory.
The Etoile, a semi-official Paper, and ns such the
more entitled to credit, when giving testimony in
favour of the Greeks, stater, " that the last news
from the Morea confirm the advantages gained by
the Greeks over the Turks ; and it appears certain
that after some contests two l'Achas have been
taken, with more than 1,200 horses or mules,
laden with baggage. The result of these advan-
tages is the entire dispersion of the Ottoman army.
The Greek Government, which fled with so much
precipitation from it. place of residence nt the time
of the preceding reamer, has been declared to be
nt an end by the Chiefs of the army of the Hellenists.
They have appointed a new Government, whose
principal members a►e MAURO( ORDATO and Prince

The accounts from Spain in the Paris Papers are
contradictory. Some give success to the Army of
the Faith, others to the Army of the Constitution.
Among the former, the Echo du Midi affirms that
Tarragona had fallen into the hands of the Royal-
ists; but as neither dates nor details accompany this
assertion, it does not appear eatitled to notice.
General MINA had established his head quarters at
Cervera, which is equidistant from Tarragona and
Barcelona. The gond effects of his operations
were already felt at the latter place. Troops
were arriving daily both by sea ■nd land.—
The number of troops of the line was said to be
near 20,000, and that of the militia to 12,000, the
greeter part of whom were in motion. Another ac-
count represents MINA shut np iu Lerida.

The 3d and 4th battalions of the militia had
quitted Barcelona fur the purpose of giving pro-
tection to the mails.

At the dinner given by the Senior Sheriff of Dub.
lin nu Tuescluy last, that gentleman, we are sorry
to find, introduced the obnoxious toast that has so
often disturbed the harmony of civic entertainments.
It is true that, in his prefatory speech, he owed that
it was his intention to avoid giving offence to any
portion of his fellow countrymen, but upon this
disavowal the Dublin Freemeo's Journal justly ob.
serves, " The toast of 7he Gloeimws Memory' ran
never be given accompanied by any explanation
svhit,soever, without giving offence. It is a toast
which originated in a spirit of conquest, slid in
love of commemorating the political Escenduncy of
one portion of the community, and the political
degradation of another. The continued succession
wf the toast at corporate festivals, can be preserved
and persevered in solely nith a view of cheering and
reviving the spirit in which the commemoration of
it commenced."
