"They say that the laid expeditioo formed in Englitwl in
favour of the lndepeodents, from the poem of Great
Britain on the evening of the day is which the Bill agin.ot
such enterprises was adopted iu Parliament. 'Ellis expedi-
tion touched at St. Dunnage', where it was apprised t the
disaster of SPGregor. A separation then ensiled among
these adventoirers, and about 300 or 400 of them, led by
two French Officers, brothers, of die name of Marhot,
by a carp le main, upon the town of Santo Domino, isial
made themselves masters of all the Spauisb part of the / 1.1 J lid

The access of this expedition of buccaneers is not bey I
the range of probability, but the intelligence wants

The trial of Caas.mg was resealed yesterday
-mittning at Guildhall, brfoer ten o'clock., hut
although the Court sat until half-past seven in the
evet,itog, the defence has not terminated. The day
i5.,5 (-mistimed its reeding lung extracts from the
Holy Bible. the lietain, Piitae's %stole., and the
opi,:ious of various writers, who attempted to lava-
',date the evidences of the Christian religion. The
Crory Joyner was frequently tinder the necessity
of interrupting the Defendant in the course of his
read cgs and comment., justly conceiving that
Christianity bring not only a part of the common
Isw of England. bet the very foundation of our
test and noblest institntinna, it could not he en-
dured that any man accused of reviling its sacred
.eharactet and denying its divMe origin should
attempt to justify his conduct by repeating the
fault of which he stands charges', and making a
Court of Jestice the scene of hiicalumnies. The
Jury Three linen during the course of yesterday ex-
pressed their opinions very *manly aposi the course
pursued by the Defendant, and advised him to
think of some other menus of justifying his con-
t;uct than by denying the truth of divine revels-
'ion, It is much to be lamented that such sub-
j• c:s •lionld be made the topics of indecent discus-
a place so ill-suited for it as a public law
c•,,cr!. The trial will probably terminate this
ev,:,log,

An Evening Treasury Print, repeating the state-
mews which have already appeared in the public
prints respecting the produce of the revenue for
Ole leer just terminated, says, " that it does not
gratify the hopes of the Radicals. or realize the
anticipations of croaking Whigs." AVliat the hopes
or asialies of Radicals may be upon this subject
ace cannot pretend to say, but if a diminution in
one quarter to the extent of More than 1,100,0001.
does not satisfy them, their hopes and wishes must
Ise extravagant indeed. " The anticipations," how-
ever, of the " croaking Whigs" were unfortunately
but too folly realised. This charge of " croak-
ing" is, of curse, directed against those news-
papers in which fears were expressed that the
fiaancial ptojects of the Ministers would not he
aueuessfal, sad sleek also stated, on the au•
the of private communication. that in the
Treasury similar apprehensions were entertained
tiering the greater port of the last quarter. This
" croaking," as the foretelling of a probable oc-
Immixe is foolishly called, is spoken of as if the
receipt of the revenue had been thereby seriously
uffected; but if it be an offence, it has been
shared by every intelligent officer within the walls
of the Treasury. We do not deny that we were
univiog the " croakers," if the expression of to op-
prrhetisivo sincerely entertained and well-founded
entille us to this appellation, but we did not anti-
cipate n diminution so surprisingly great as has oc-
curtrd. it is absurd to think of concealing this
think:alien), by blending the last quarter with the
three preceding, and comparing the entire pro-
duce with that of the whole year preceding.
Tl:e public must revert to the account of the
quarter—nor cats it fail being remarked, that on
comparing the account of the Imo quarter with the
vat, e•ponding quarter in the last year, the produce
of Ca• quarter just ended ought to be considered as
Vilig in some degree swelled by the effects of the
duties Unposed at the close of the last Session of
Perliatnent.

'Ube miserable trick is repeated, as if the repeti-
tion could conceal the deception. of bringing for-
ward the produce of a most unfortunate year, and
aheniug an increase in the year just ended as coin.
pared a nth the produce of the year 1817. Will
this comparison pay the debts of the country, de-
(fey the current expenses of the Government. and
vflect the object contemplated by the Ministers of
forming a sinklug fund of fire millions ? We
have already pointed out the unfairness of se.
lentil% 1817 rather than airy other year. and
stated the vast amount of revenue collected in
1816 or 1815. over the produce of the year just
terminated. Nothing can be more futile than
to think cf estimating what most 1w considered
N new system of finance by referring to the
ouinunt of one of the least productive years pie-
vi,us to its establishment ; we are to exa-
mine our income in relation to the expenditure
it iv to cover, and the promises which Ministers
pare held out. Previous to the new duties. the
grins inceme was supposed to exceed the gusts ex-
penditure by about 2,000.0001. annually : addi-
tional duties to the amount of 3.500,004 f. were then
imposed, yet with this addition. we find in one
quarter a diminution of more thin 1,100.0001. At
this rate not only would our Irupes of a sinking
loud of five millions be disappointed. hut even
the original excess of income over expenditure
would be dissipated, and io its Flare the Govern-
sot, besides appropriating the entire sinking
loud to defray current espouses, would be driven

to the media fur 'an annual loin of 2,000,0001.
which. with loot eceUmulating interest, would be re-
gularly edited to the amount of our national debt.

A Elamhurgh M ail has arrived. The Elector of
HriaroCassEr. has pnblised a Proclamation. stat-
ing, that in order to restrain the si•cret intriguer and
trensunahle snoociatiusts forsered io Germany. the
'German Confederation have, by a Resolution of
the Diet of the 40th SepteMber, established a Cen-
tral Committee at hlentz, to inquire into those ilk.
dal and dangerous plans, with asithorityrto demand
the arrest of the perwass snspected, who are to he
conveyed to Mentz. there to reanaisi in arrest until
the law hsa decided their Fate. The Proclamation
concludes with stating, alit any of Isis subjects as
shall he found guilty of such seditious combina-
tions shall be excluded fret% the number of the
Hessian people, and deprived of the rights of citi-
zenship.

We hove received Paris Papers of Sunday last.
The Gazette de France notices the arrival of a let-
ter from Port-au-Prince, announcingihe capture of
the town or Santo Domingo, the chief place in the
Spanish part of the island of the PAMe name, by a
body of British adventurer.% who bed sailed from
one of our ports to join 51'Garniiit. The story
does not Perm probable, bat any thing may be ex-
pected fries the daring gallantry of these &dna.
torero.

We read in the lime Paper et a report generally
circulated in Paris, that a great number of Depu-
ties had signed au address to the Kiwis, protesting
against the admistion of the celebrated Gacootic,
the conventionalist, into the Chamber of Deputies.
How little the idea of liberty is understood by those
who would think of signing such ■ protest ! Would
they give the Kix° the power of excluding an ob-
noxious member from the Chamber of Deputies ?
for inch must be the object of the protest, if those
who have prepared it wish it to be understood as
having any meaning whatever.
The Minister of War, Marshal Gouvtost ST.
CYR, whose illness and resignation of office have
been for some time the topics of anxious solicitude
with several of the Paris Journals, presented him-
self becore the Kix° on Saturday. This is an ins-
porhint matter to the politician• of Paris, with
whom, for the present, we shall leave it.
