LONDON,

The Paris Papers to the sth have arrirel at este

Address to the KIM/ on the isi. It cnng•utolates
his MAJIITT on the birth of the infant Prince, and
on the prospect of prosperity afforded by the pea
sent improvement in trade, the flourishing state et
apiculture, and the diminution of taxes. This
grateful statement b•s made a favourable impres-
sion on the funds. The Five per Cent. Consuls
are shove 80.

The King of NAPCES landed at Leghorn on tlie
20th. Shortly aft: r the squadron had it t on the

statestieirt.—(lt will be round in soother part of our
!'apes).—*' This excess" [2,300,0001.] says the
Treasury scribe, "'appears to have taken place

fer rjduties Pont the Customs, and affords a antis.
factory proof that the consumption of those articles
which form the comforts of the great Way of the

beets about 300,000/. less than in the preceding
year, arising princsicary from the reduction occa-
sioned by she transfer of some considerable Milan
to the Excise."—lie stibstquently adds, that the
inn..use has taken place altogether in Malt and
Tobacco, and those °the? articles on which the
new duties were impostd in 1819. This is what
the Treasury writer takes to be a satisfac-
tory proof that the consumption of those articles
which form the comforts of the great body of the
community hat increased during the last year.
Taxes csismattal to produce 3.000,0001. are im-
posed upon the very necessaries of life, " upon
thcHe articles elicit form the comforts of the great
body of the couurrossity." Unless the " great body
of the cosonsuoity" resolve to starve themselves, for
the purpose of vexing the CHANCELLOR of the
EXCHEQUER, such taxes most be productive.
.Well, they produce 8,000,01701. being one million
less than the estimate, and this we are foolishly told
is an evidettee of increased consumption! But the

predate of the Excise has been swelled not only

maft proportionably diminish the weight of evi-
dence derived from the increase of the Excise to
wove the istivease or consumption. hi the mean
time the Customs has, to own " the transfer of
these cousiderable orticles." for we eft 'Addeo the
Comeau exhibit a *piing of 309,0001. M com-
pared with the produce of the yesr 181'. In the
Status/toile Post:effice, the Lind Tax, and the Ml*.
celleisies, we are also told that there are deficiencies,
Ind that bes;tles the Excise, the only branch of the
Revenue that evinces an improvement is that of the
Assessed Taxes, where the increase in the year
loseutv to 130,0001.

The tentarkstble dcliciency in the produce of the
quarter coded the sth inst. as compared with the
corresponding quarter,of the last year, clearly alleles
that the improvement discernible in the total
amount of the whole year roust have been accumu-
lated on the three preceding quarters. This min
currastance. lay sheering a very rapid and sadden
decline in the Revenue (lilting the 14st quarter, is
