The accounts of the revenue for the quarter ending yes-
terday are drawn out, and will be made public to-sly.
kt'e undenitand, from what has transpired, that they yield
fresh ciiiLnee of the plugresa of the public welf4ie. I
each of the great branches of the revenue there is a cou-
eilerable improvetnsnt, as compared with the same per;twi
last year. 'Elie actual net income of the Customs, fur the
quarter ending the Imhof October, isem, was 3,3 tspoot.;
and for the quarter ending yesterday 3,21:1,000/., from
which a deficiency of itis.nout. would item to result, whereas
there is, in fact, an increase of snore than twice that amount.
During the late Tian( r there was repaid one-fourth of the
duties on raw and unusanufactureil silk, remitted by the
liberality of the CHANCELLOR of the Ex riff:wise to the
holders of the large stock on hand, and since July the re-
peal of duties to the extent of ...so,onot weekly has been in
operation to diminish the receipts of the late quarter. Al-
lowing for there Sums,the accouois will, Ciirly conk:W.:llA,
spew an excess of upwards of 2u moat. over the cut r,:;powl-

We olnorve in Saturday night's Gazette the official an-
nouncement, that the peat diplomatic services of Lord
S t me se roan, at Constantinople, in conducting to a happy
termination the mediation between Russia and Turkey,
have Is rn rewarded by the grant of a Peerage of the Coiled
KinKs,om. Count (lsceonowsxt, the bearer or an auto-
graph fitter to the KING from the Emperor of Russia,

the lb itish Government in the late negotiation with the
Poles r., is row at Windsor with the Russian Ambassador.
What an appropriate commentary does this fact aflind on
the iisays of those wretched croakers who have.been labour-
ing to prove that the British Empire, far (rota standing the
first in Traver and influence among the States of Europe,
has sunk to iinignificance and contempt. If, indeed, the
prophesies of the writers, to whom we allude, bad been ful-
filled, instead of passing, as they have passed, into by words
of scorn and reproa,h; or, if the political schemes which
tbose desperate agitators at one time urged on the deluded
multitude with alarming success had been adopted, England
would have

" Fallen from her rood cove,"
and been trampled into dust lent atli the feet of the trium•
phant tyrant of the continent.

Rumour announces the intcution of Mr. CANNING to
' late litettlillref facet S esion, for obking every person, pre-
viously to his being appointed to any public office in
Ireland, to make oath that he is not a member of any
lool:Te, or public political suoeiation. We do not attach
much credit to this report. Such a step would not be, in
itself, either wise or well-timed. It is not an effective or
statesman-like measure, nor such as it is likely an enlarged
mind like Mr. Ca NNING.G would adopt. There is nothing
reneslial in it ; it suffers all the inherent diseases to work
on inwardly, while it goes merely to prevent, if possible,
their breaking out upon the surface. It leaves the causes
at work, while it conceals the danger. Such a policy would
he every wad injurious. It were better, infinitely, that we
al 111 sec, in all their pernicious latitude, the evils which
afflict Ireland, in which case they would force themselves
emphatically upon public attention, than that we should
keep up an outside show of amity and good understand-
, ing between parties, whom the laws and the system of
gover ttttt ent keep asunder, and who in secret would be
spreading everywhere the deplorable consequences of their
looltility. The MA noels Wt.t.t.ss Ls,/ has done much
towards weakening that inveterate Orange faction which
had shown itself an overmatch for all former Lord Lieute-
nants. The leading measures of his administration have
mot been temporary ; they have precluded for ever the re-
turn of do, abuses they have removed. The salvantagts
gained for Ireland are lasting; the ends of justice are not
only bettor secured than they ever before were, but their
result is made certain. The Noble Ma nor ta has not only
put tie grain into the ground, but he has ensured the
crop. Testifying a due regard fur the safety of die Irish
Chou+, lie has been at the same time anxious to res-
cue the Catholic,' f the influence of Orange councils,
•Itul to remove the invidions distinctions which severed
them from their Protestant fellow-subjects. Some there
are, we know, who seem to think the oppression of the
tinter kin.ohon ought never to have an cud; who are of
opinion that city further concession to the Catholics would
be improper ; that they have already had as touch granted
to them, as they eugia, in decency, to ask ; and, that to
solicit any thing further, in the way of indulgence, is most
unreasonable, and manifests a spirit of importunity never
to Ito satisfied. We could easily reply to this reasoning.
low we find it PO ably answered to our hands in one of

Queen Elizabeth. The capital, raised in shares of um., ammint.il
only to 72,U/11.V. In 1645, during the government of Cnnuwcll, the
privilege wassospenift il, and trade with India, then an independent
empire under Aurctigache, was thrown open to all the
At the expiration of three years, however, the privilege was re-
newal, and continued till the year At that period ti. C. a

Stuart flintily from the throne of I;nglandh King l'
l'norYs Influenced, no doubt, by financial embarrassments, listental
to slit proposals of a new company, which offered to lend Govern-
ment, for the priviiege it now sought and obtained, the sum of two
militias at II per Cent. This last concession was characterised by
being granted by Act of Parliament, and confirmed the permission
granted by preceding charters to the company to nettle and main.
tam colonies and factories and to raise lortitications for their de-
fence, if necessary. Little was it then imagined that the Fonds.
amok of a great empire were at that time laying. To fortified places
there mutt be Duni* attacks must be resisted, alliances and lira.
ticsof Poo" concluded. Thus, fmtu the year Iti9H, these rights,
nearly resembling those of sovereignty, were granted to the agents
of tire company ; Ina, by a restriction characteristic of time times,
the right of making war OT ptiaCC was forbidden, except with
Pfri" ra and na1..., not plqet.ell: ate Cheietkelf.faih•
" Till then the I;inimany was on the same footing, in India, with
the Natalia, Raj sits, khans, atol other petty Princes, who had
become surressit ely indt pendent of the threat Mogul, Tartar, and
l'ersian MMIarCIIP, by whom these Knead extensive countries had
been at various times invaded.
" The Company's charter vet afterwards renewed, at different
periods, with all the formalities that attend in England the pnanul-
getion of the laws. Stanyhues it was stipuland that the privilege
*humid continue till revoked. hot that the f 'ompany should have
notice, three years befitrelianii, of its revocation.. Afterwards a
certain term of years was fixed no for its expiration, at the end of
which it was again renewed ; she !oinpany agreriii,; to pay certain
bonuses for the privilege, th payment of which at has generally
contrived to evade. _ .

" territorial possessiona and sovereignty of the Company
down to the year 17:0, extended oily over some towns, or rather
forts, such as Madras, which were intended to protect a small sur-
rounding territory. It was about that time that Ihmkis, who
iiiii andel the French in India, an enterprising and able man,
but nut at all scrupulous as to tin: means of secomplishing his ends,
betrayed an ambition which, if it slid not excuse the growth of that
of the I":nklish, at least served as A pretext ter h. kladnu, at that
time their priacipel establishment in India, had capitulated to an
Moms:doable French army. violated the capitulation,
declared himself the ally of an Indian Prince at war with ameba,
aod taut It the I:eglish that Machiavellian policy, of which they
&lenient* su much evaded themselves, of intenneddling in all the
Wallitine broils of the country, aml uwkiug use of one Prince to
pot down another. CM all occasions they declared against such
power* as were protected by the French.
" Lord Clive, a MIA of talent, commanded the Company's
forces about the middle 4.1 the last century ; he sumeded in gain-
ing A coiupee ascendency, non only over the French, but also over
the Indians, who were under French protection ; and as there is
seldom a pause in the midst of a victorious cartel, the English now
lolly embarked in the career of conquest. Their power, put in
the balance of every quarrel, generally determined the issue in
favour of the Prince they pr hued. '1 hey shared the spoils of the
ranguished, and time victor, being inil-hted to them for his crown,
because their tributary, until they felt themselves strong enough
to dispossess him in his turn.
•• l'mpoo Sa.b, Stilts° of the Mysore, the last Prince
when; power could alarm them, fell Initeath the ruins of
Ins capital, tf,:ringapatein, when it was taken by asioult in 1799.
At this time the power of the Company extends along the whole
course of the &Aug.'', and bryond LlMO—veer all the peninsula
of India, with the exception et MAIM &slims on the coast of 31A-
labar still tributary to the J'ortoguese, or the petty hishometan
prince., and some provinces still occupied by the Malteds's. France
also is in prnoussion of Pondicherry and Chandernagne, which were

lie then procculs to point out the relation which the
Government of the country bears to that of the Mother
Country, through the medium of the Board of Control,
a measure which virtually place; the management of East
India affairs iu the bahtis of the Ministry for the time
being, and wlsi.4h was forced on the Company by the ne-
cessity under which they labouml, to procure the Govern-
ment's sanction to the hams they were obliged to contract
at different periods ; and of ther- loans he gives a very
distinct account, which we cannot afford room to quote at
large, but shall give itt as few words as possible:—

The tint debt contracted by the Company to Go.. C.
Teri •nt, in 1773, amourud to 1,400,15:0
In 17ns a (Luther loan ass snide of 3,1x4,000
And Ouse emus, by an annual increase of expenditure
over income, have at the present day swelled out to the
appalling total of 45,000,000 i., against which they can
only shew what M. Say calla a balance of fictitious debts,
such as %,000,0001. die by the Rajah of Tanjore and
Nawaul cf Arcot, neither of whom have either the will
or the power to pay them, as their territories and revenues
are already in the hands of the Bilk's', and the Princes
themselves can only be considered in the light of stipen-
diaries on the Company. They also take ertslit fur sums
expended in the various expeditions in which they have
acted in concert With the Kt sn's troops, and fur money
expended on forts, warehouses, and factories, to the amount
of 16,0n0A001., with just about as much propriety as a
tenant, at the expiration of his lease, not looking upon
himself as yentuncratcd by the produce of his farm, could
charge his landlord for all his expenses in cultivating it.
The result of all this M. SA V seems to think must be, that
at the expiration of the charter, which takes place its
ISIS, the Government will be under the ueci'ssity of
taking up the Company's debts, making than national,
governing India by a Viceroy, and trying, by eammuy
and management, to get themselves clear us well as they can.
The next point on which M. SAT touches is, whether or
not the concerns of the Company are profitaWo: and this
we should think is son► settled ; for if, as he plainly chews,
their expenditure is regularly blond their income, we
think the question is anaweresl at once. But it ►till re-
mains to be asked, would the trade of India, in private
hands, pay better to the Government and nation at large,
than it dues in the bends of a large Company ? Of this
too we have no doubt, and for this very plain rea-
son, that the Company charter their ships and pay
for their tonnage from four to six times more than pri-
vate individuals would, and their profits must of ne-
cessity be proportionably less ; or rather, more properly
speaking, they must ttatle at a positive loss, as the dif-
ference of freight would be an ample profit to the pri-
vate merchant. It is true that a monopoly gives them
the power of compelling a profit in the China trade, so far
as England alone is cancer:nal; but the other nations of
Enrope, and even our own Colonies, must receive their teas
and nibs r Ma goods in other bottoms, and thee., chiefly
Ames ican--a nation to which our monopoly laws in the
east have given snit) an ascendancy, that their tonnage, in
the port of Canton, nearly equals, if it does net exceed
our ua•n.

Another very cotut•.ton error. which obtains credit both
in this country and abroad, NI. St v combats with tolerable

our yoke, and otey wait the arrival of some fort ign power to
rise simultaneously and expel us. This opinion contains
two errors: in th tint place, the natives are highly satis-
fied with our government, which gives thou liberty of
p.•rson and security of property unknown under any native
government ; :Jul the lust pottsible proof of this fact is, that
whenev.•r a rot ince is taken by or c"•ded to us, the imme-

ago, when we fitted out an ocpedition against the Riccaneir
Rajah, must recollect the bustle and importance with which
the means of transport was sought to convey two or three
regiments a few days' journey into the desert. What then
must be the resources requircvl, to march an army neatly
equal to that with which Napoleon invaded Russia (and
with a less force they need hardly attempt it), for many con-
secutive months, through hostile countries, and over burning
sands?

We cannot wind up this paper better than by quoting
the concluding paragraph of M. SAY'S work :

" The nations of Europe, from their enterprising spirit, and the
astonishing progress tiny have made ill all the brandies of human
knuwledge, are, nu doubt, destined to subdue the world, as tiny
have already subdued the two A mericas ;-1 do not mean by force
of arms. Mihtory preponderant* is, and ever will be, accidental
and precarious. Europe will sublimate the world by the inevitable
aseemltlicy of knowledge, and the unceasing opiinitions of her Math
tutioes. It is no longer necessary to employ anus against the
American Indians. Asia needs longer time on account of her im-
mense population, and the inertia which long.roided and immove-
able customs opieise to every species of innovation. But the march
id events is inevitable. The religion of the Alegi has given place to
; that of Itraittah has lost half its cot/mice;
and ilobometa.li,na will wear itself out in turn like everything
else. The facilities of communication by water are becom-
ing every day immure perfect. In our own times, the voyage to
India by the Cape of (stood Iltyte has been lessened one half, kith

Extract of a Letter from an old and respectable Officer of
the Royal African Corps :—" Almost numetliatcly after
our landing from the Thetis, the officers were iivided
among four divisions of the sent d twins, each 111V6i0t11
consirting of about i,Stwt men, not one of whom could speak
a word of English ; therefore the only mode we had of
communicating our wishes (which they seldom c,?inplied
with), was by signs and gNturcs. Our line et.tendA about
a mile; when, about three o'clock ia the afternoon, the
enemy suddenly attacked our right, and a wann but partial
eogagenn..nt took place, extending :18 far as our centre, and
no doubt, as we were getting short of ammunitiott, see
should bare heen obliged to retire, had not night put an
