tures. and ine.ustry.—Ordered to be printed, and referred to the

In the Sitting, the 31inister of Finance was introduced, to present
to the Chamber, by the King's order, the annual budget of the el-
penditure of the State, divided into parts, and the project of law
which fixes the moans of meeting it ; as well sea project of law re-
lative to the decennial budget. The Minister, on presenting the
four projects, spoke at great length. ••• Your High Mightinesses
will remark (he nib) that the first net division of the annual
budget, which foe the present year untounts to 15.0/5,1105 florists
97 cents., amounts fur the next year only to 13.275,446 florins
64 cents, being a reduction of 2Li t 010.359 florin, 33 cents. 'l'lie
second subdivision smmuits to 11l 335,351 florins 21 cents; whereas
that for 1824 is only 9,591;9W florins IFeents ; being an augmenta-
tion of 759,n71 burins 10 c. !tut you will plena to observe that
this augincintathm does not fall on the people, for the measures
ado-ited in your last Session hare enabled the Syntlerat d'A moctisse-
meta to provide for .his expense I.y the means which were already
allowed it. You hare observed that the considerable caving on the
first part of the Budget loss given his Majesty an opportunity of
fixing the additional Customs for the next year on the land.tsx e,
and on the taxes at 13, which is a reduction of 101 and' i centimes,
in the several branches of the pul lie revenue.
The repeated remonstrances that have been made respecting the
land-tax have caused the resolution to make the difference in the
several taxes, and to afford rebel to Landed property.
The present circumstances, and the low prices of grain, afford
powerful reasons to adopt this huliroet manner of nuking sued the
losses of the landowners.
The dioninutioo of 21 centimes on the other taxes will not be
without direct for the consumers, even when they do not pay time
taxes directly, and will be more sensibly felt when they pay di.
reedy, as ia the case whit the personal tax licences, &c.
After this general view, the Minister recapitulated the moat re.
mark :tide reduction in the several chapter. of the Budget, and
%hewed their connection sith the law containing the arrangements
of the decennial Iludget.

COWITANTIYOPLE, SEPT. 25.

NViiile the (;reeks with great c oilidence speak of nothing but the
victories of their Heys, it is attirnied by the Turkish inisteris that
two couriers from the Capitan Pacha announce a victory. which he
o!itaineil oil the near Samos, and in which he captured ag
Greek ships. It seems advisable, however, to 'sit for (umber se.
since the femur of the Capiiin Pacha from Stanehio to.
wards Samos does not indicirte a victory. The well-known
Ifschanib Etrendi, one of the most powerful friends of the Janis-
caries, on whinn all eyes have been turned of late, and especially
since the fall of the Grand Vizier, OMlib Pacha, has died sud-
denly. 111. Von 3linziachy has at lenmh assumed a diplenatie
character, viz. : that of Charge d'Affaira of the Court, till the
arrival of the 3lisrquis de Ribeaupietre, which does not seem,
however, to be near at hand. At the same time presents of all
kinds from the Damian Court were made to those persons belong-
ing to the English and Austrian Embassies, who have hitherto
transacted the Russian stairs. NI. Chalrert, the English Drago-
man, reairol 2,000 ducats, and the Order of St- Anne.
