A Flanders Mail outlived last night. with Miners

extracts

CADIZ, JUXIE
All is in "notion here Cu embark on !mud the•transports
artillery, provisions, and ammunition of all kinds. A
complete pritiiing.press is also prepared for the expedition.
Within these ,few days twenty more leansports hare arrived
in this po►t, or which ten came from France ; they are per-
fectly equipped. The troops composing the army are daily
exercised in nsigitary evolntions. Count d'Avisbal causes
the most strict discipline to be observed, on which account
he is more (tared than loved by the army. It is nut yet
possible to say when it will sail for its destination ; if we
might judge by the arrangements which we witneu, the
epoch is not distant. Meantime we have several luourgent
privateers in sight, which brave us, make prises in the Streit,
and seem to deride our preparations. This is our situ:silo°.
Commercial house. in this city have received accounts
from the Haysun■h, the
.writer; of which express themselves
with the greatest indignation on the report which was in
circulation there, of the reosion of Cuba to England. They
say positively, that if the Mother Coostry should renounce
that rich and important colony, the inhabitants would knOw
how to deftnd their liberty against the English, whom they
do not like. However, add the writers, we flatter ourselves
that these reports are without foundation, and circulated
with insidious perfidy and with. criminal intentions.

We learn by the ranee channel, that the celebrated Father
Tarves, having been lately reinforced by a number of discon-
tented Mexicans, has now a corps more numerous than be
had smiler him since by took up arias. He has addressed to
the inhabitants of Mexico a proclamation inviting them to
repair to the standards of liberty. rat Viceroy had ordered
several corps of troops to proceed against him, with orders
to endeavour to bring him to a general action. A large
treasure has bees collected at Vera Crux, but means were
wanting to send it to Spain.

The City 0r Mocha has emit deputies to treat of a capitula-
tion. The Governor of Egypt has declared, that his inten-
tion was sot to govern Arabia Felix, but to leave it to the

tributary to the Port.

- SRUISILS, JULY ♦.
Yesterday evening • cornet was discovered in the north-
net. Its tail is much longer than that of the comet of
1311. It was seen on the saint night at Namur, where t►e
nucleus is stated to have been of the apparent magnitude of
a child's head. Two thunder-storms base since occurred at
Brussels; that on the morning of the 4th was extremely
violent, sad caused great alarm. The lightning struck in
several places, but happily did sot set bre to any building.
The Act of Accession of the King to die Act of the Co..
gress of Vienna has bees published.

Paris Papers of Monday have arrived at our
office, from winch the following are extracts :

PARIS, JULY 5.
It is asserted that the present Session of the two Cham-
bers will close on Saturday the Roth of this month.
The number of suicides attempted ur executed in Paris
tiering the months of J y, February, March, sad
April last, amounts to 124, of which 33 were by females,
Among them Were 64 unmarried, and 60 married 'lien or
women. The greater part terminated theirr lives by 111111111 s
of fire arms, coal vapour, or by drowning. Among the
latter there were 46. Of the entire number 53 destroyed
t►emselves from a disgust of life, the remainder in conic.
quince of derangement iu their affairs, misconduct. play,
sod debauchery. ComPariag this period in the present year
wit► the corresponding period of the last year, there ap-
pear. an Increase in the present year of 41 deaths.

It is said that the negotiations which the Government has
Are some time carried on with Saint Domingo, have takes a
favouvalge tars. We are assured that an Envoy from Boyer
has arrived in Paris with certain propositions, whereby the
value of all French property situated in that part of St.
Domingo shall be reimbwried to the dispossessed Colonists,
by instalments, in ghost 16 years. King Henry does not
appear so well disposed to an arrangement as the President
Boger.

The Bill for repealing the Act now in force in
Ireland, for levying Sues on towulands wherein
unlicensed stills, or parts of millet mad chance to
be found, was last night committed in the House
of Lards, after a very important discussion. The
Bill was ',cry strongly opposed by the Earl of
DONOUGHMORE, on the plea that the ekistiug la*
was absolutely necessary for the support of the
revenue of Ireland ; but the Noble Lord stood
■lone against the Bads of IttrearooL, LIME-
RICK, BLintrost, and ABERDEIK.

An Abstract of the net produce of the Revenue
of Great Britain, in the yeirs and quarters ended
sth July IBM ism sad 1819, distinguishing the
Consolidated Fund, the Annual Duties, and the
War Taxes, and also distinguishing the C.Moms
and Excise, has been printed.—The total amount
of the Consolidated Fund

.Ibis, .... 10,914,509
. 1919, .... 10,742Z,9Ds
From this it appears, that although as compared

with the quarter ended sth of July, 1117,
the produce of the Coos()Mated Fund in the
quarter joist closed ■hews some improvement,
yet Ls compared with .the correepooding quarter
in the last year. there is ,tome deficiency.—
The drerease appears under the heals of Cus-
toms, Siam" Land %as, and Miscellanies.

there is some improvement. In the Normal duties

-- 1819
----- 1819
It thus appears that in the quarter just ended, there
has been an increase in the produce of the Revenue
us compared with the corresponding quarter lii the
last year, of 304,711/.
This affards very sufficient evidence of the success
of the Treasury in drawing money frosn the 'rockets
of the people, but the general state of the country
prohibits the supposition that the increased produce
of the Revenue can be admitted as a proof of in-
creasing prosperity. In fact, the sudden improve-
ment which took place towards the close of the last
quarter must be attributed, in a great measure, to
the anxiety of merchants and traders to anticipate,
by every means, the operation of the new times,
which are fur the most part to continence with the
quarter tio& current. Upon tobacco the duty
is raised from 3s. 2d. to 4.. a pound ; the usual
entries of this article are from 90 to 100,000 1b...
per week, but in the fortnight preceding the
gth. of June, the enormous quantity of
1,074,4621h5. was entered out of bond (in the port
of London alone), for the purpose of saving the
additional duty of 1011. per lb.: upon tobacco
alone there Is little doubt but at least 200,000/.
was thus brought into the last quartet's receipt.
Upon coffee the duty is increased from 725. up to
tie.. the cwt.; upon wool from 7s. 1 id. to 565. the
cwt. ; and upon a variety of other things the duty
is increased by the new Customs Consolidation
Act from 10 to 8 per cent. and great quantities of
most of the articles liable to ass increase of duty
have beets taken out of botid and the old duties paid,
in order to save the advance; and its this way the
Revenue has been increased within the last quarter
to a considerable extent. In the total Revenue
of the year, ending the sth of July, there appears
to have been a considerable increase, as compared
with the produce of the year precedisig. but on ac-
count of Ilse large arrears of property which were
paid up in the year 1817. the produce of the revenue
for that year reeved. that of the financial year, just
ended. by above a million. The account is as
