LONDON, WEDNESDAY, Ju LT .7, 1821. ,

In snaleser column we give the official returns of the
revenue fog the Alitlattunner quarter. On congaing
these details, the best evidence will be found of the thriving
state of the country. All the unrepealed taxes have con-
si•lcrably increased in their productiveness. There is no
decrease on any. particular item from which any unfavour-
able inference can be drawn. On the contrary, an
analysis of the financial accounts must confirm the
opinion, that all our great interests are in a condition
of unexampled prosperity. By comparing the net pro-
duce of the revenue for the year ending the sth of
July, 1921, with that for the year preceding, there ap-
parts an increase, during the last year, of 1,038,281/. But
if we examine the items we shall have still more reason to
be satisfied with the statement. On the Customs there is
an increase of 833,4741.; in the stamp dunes 408,7841. ;
and in the Post-offict 80,000/. On the other hand, there
is a decrease in the Excise of 836,1691. This would, on
the face of it, appear to indicate a decreased consumption ;
but no conclusion could be more erroneous. The decrease
is owing almost entirely to the remission of taxes. On re-
faring to the account of the Excise Duties, it will be
seen that she items of decrease are chiefly those on which
the taxes had been repealed or reduced. Thus, on
salt there is a decrease of 732,183/. ; on British spirits
610,374/. ; and on hops 111,409/. There is a trifling
decrease on tobacco, viz. 63,776!. out of 2,338,9691.; and
on hides sad skins there is a decrease of 23,361/. The latter
is evidently a mere fluctuation of trade, as on the last quar-
ter there is an increase to nearly the same amount, viz.
23.108/. On salt the whole tax is now repealed ; the de-
crease
on British spirits is owing principally to the reduc-
tion of the duty in Scotland to about one half; and onl
hops also it is known, that, in consequence of the badness of
the season, half the duty was remitted. The decrease can
in this manner be accounted for in every instance in which
it occurs, without keying any reason for suspecting or ap-
prehending any decay of the foundations of our national
prosperity. In the assessed taxes there is a decrease on
the year of 1,700,7911. which we believe is somewhat be-
low the &crease expected to follow the reduction of the
house and window duties, and some other taxes belonging
to that department.
On the quarter there is an apparent decrease of 400,000/.
We explained yesterday some of the causes from which
this apparent decrease has resulted. Having the details
now before us, we shall, for the sake of cicarnoes on this
most important subject, re-state them. The actual de-
crease on the Customs is 98,330/.; but to produce this
depression below the corresponding quarter last year, there
have been some extraordinary causes in operation. Up-
wards of 400,010/. have been repaid to the holders of the
stock of raw and manufactured silk, out of this branch of
the revenue during the late quarter ; and there has been a
remission of duties on silk, London coals, Sc. to the amount
of 130,0(XV. If these ;urns be taken into the account, in-
stead of a decrease, we have a very large and unpre-
cedented increase ; and in considering the state of the
resources of the country, it is essential to the fairness of
our calculation that we should make these allowances.
On the net produce paid into the Exchequer there is cer-
tainly a small decrease: but in the sums received from the'
remaining sources of the revenue there is as certainly a
great increase. The decfcase of the produce of the
:essessed taxes, during the late quarter, is of course to be
ascribed to the reduction of pressure in those taxes. In the'
Excise we find an increase during the quarter of 314,400/.
notwithstanding tile large remissions made in several of the
duties. In foreign spirits there is an increase of 179,317/.
in malt 149,436/., in printed goods 101,011/., in paper'
21,6011., in hides and skins 23,108/., in tea, 20,3011.,
in auctions 17,118/., in wine 13,998/., and in hops
13,492/. The decrease is principally confined to articles ,
oil which the duties have been reduced. Tho 'surplus of
the income over the charge on the Consolidated Fund for
the wilizter, is 1,127,2101. The total net revenue for the
year ending Sth of July, 1821, is 30,414,59'2/. Thus
stand the financial accounts of Great Britain. A more
gratifying statement could not have been anticipated. All
that could reasonably have been desired is granted to us.
Our public credit reposes on the most solid basis, and
while the other European Governments are yet pressed
down with the debts incurred during the war with Bona-
parte, we have reduced our burthens, and have already a
large surplus revenue growing out of the extending trade
and increasing comforts of the people. We have great plea-
sure in stating, that the returns from Ireland also indi-
cate the spread of general improvement among the pope-1
lenient of that country. l)uring the last quarter there is
an increase on every item of ►he Irish revenue. However
distrete may partially, and but temporarily prevail in Ire-

land, there can be no doubt from *e official returns of the
revenue that the generall moms of the people are increas-
ing. As to that remedy
ogee every intelligent well-
wisher of Ireland looks for relict, it must be highly satis-
factory, that at lent it is likely to be applied to the deeply
seated evils of her tan numerous population.
Ilainburgh papers to the 30th ult., and Dutch papers to
Sunday, reached us last night. The investigation icto the
secret associations of the German students is concluded,
and a report has been made by the Minister of Police in
Prussia, which reads like a transcript from Professor Robi-
son's treatise against the illuminati, or the Abbe liarruel's
History of Jacobiniarn. We are told that a revolutionary
and treasonable confederation was formed among the stu-
dents and others, in connexion with foreign rebels, for the
purpose of overthrowing the existing German governments;
that the doctrines of emamination were inculcated; that
the members were bound together by an oath ; that Ger-
many was divided into ten eireiss, over each of which a
chief presided; that there were Illeieties in subordination to
the secret body `for the propagation of its principles
among the students gmmally ; and that the objects of
association were, equality, liberty, and unity. In pur-
suance of thepe &sip, the amort states, that reading
societies were instituted, hi which political works were
discussed, and among other things the Spanish Constitu-
tion. The Society is represented to have been modelled
upon the plan of the Jesuits, with many degrees of rank
and power, and to have existed from the beginning of 1021
to the end of last.year. That some of the students may
have met privately to discuss political questions ; that they
may have kept up their acquaintance after they have left
the :universities; that they may have visited each other
and exchangedaentbrents on public affairs, may be all very

true ; and If the Psusian Minister bad contented himself
with denowcing their proceedings, we should hardly have
expressed our surprise ; but we apprehend it is too late to
revive the exploded nonsense of secret sects, operating by
unseen means on the mind of a whole nation, and pro.
ilucing, by the aid of something not much unlike magic,
the most terrific and mischievous consequences. Ferdinand
of Spain would account for the revolutions in South
America by pointing to free masonry ; and till he is be-
lieved, the report of the Prussian Minister will be treated
with contempt, as a wretched excuse, urged by power, for,
breaking its promises. The plain truth is, the King of
!iambi will not concede representative institutions to his
subjects, and he wishes for a pretext to shackle the system
Of public initruction.

BE➢LIX, JCNE 26.

The Minister for Public Instruction has authorised the Rector
of the University to inform the Students, that the Ministr► is
highly satisfied with the conduct of the students, especially as by
inquiries that had been made in the other Prussian and German
Universities, that those studying at Berlin bad refrained from tak-
ing any part in prohibited associations.
PRUSSIA, JUNE

In consequence of the resolutions respecting the Universities
taken by his hinjeity on the 21st of last month, various circulars
have been addressed to the Ministers of Public Instruction and
police, and other regulation, to the officers of the Universities. In
that from the Ministerof Police to the Government Commissioners
in the several Prussian Univtrsities, dated the 4th instant, there is
the following vie* of the secret Associations :

,r It Is known to you Sir, that the laws enacted in IRV) against
the secret assedatlons In the Universities, and especially against
&what Is called) the Bezechenscheff, have not brought back the
youth In the scedendes to due obedience. These latter Societies,
have not only inolotalned themselves, but have even constituted

denies and ramilicationeof this system of secret association, and
the investigations made in other German States hare led to similar
results. According to the documents of this investigation, and the
annexed confessions of several hundred participoton in these in-
trigues. the secret associations In several Gentian universities have
received, since 1821, the following organization:—
" At the head of it was a close secret Society, not merely for the
yews passed ne the 17nintsity, but particularly for the succeeding
relations in civil life. It was closely connected with revolutionary
Societies in France, Italy, and Switzerland, front which it pro.
crested; its object was nothing leas than the overthrow of the poli-
tical constitution existing in Germany, and among the means of
attaining this object, were the exciting of discontent, Insurrection,
and revolutions, assassination of the enemies of the society, implicit
obedience to unknown superiors, the nullity of the oaths taken to
the governments ; the admission of perjury towards them, the use
of inns, and the greatest mossible diffinion of the principles
of the associations the members of the latter had vowed
&lelity and obedience to it and its objects with *corporal oath,
and had divided Germany, with refererce to the society into
tea circles, each of which had its chief, lie held from
time to time secret meetings in the Universities of Halle. Itipsig,
Jena, Gottengen, Erliegen, Wurnburg, Ileidslelburg, Tubingen,
and Freyburg. There were separate divisions of Members of the
Society, tibia maintained a constant correspondence with those who
had already quitted the University. From the strict secrecy ob-
served in this Society, and because the Members themselves were
probably not all known to each other, only something more than •
hundresi Members of this Association could be discovered, partly
in Universities, partly occupying alrei.sly public situations, among
whom are five directors of Clreitli, who have been subjected to an
investigation, partly here, partly in other German .states. One of
the chief obects of this Society was, especially by the means of
the genital flurchcnseheft la body of students), to spread the prin-
ciples of the Society among the youths ; gradually to gain :hem
over to the purposes of the Society, and thus to bring the Hutchens-
cbeft under its direedon, and to employ It as a means to pro-
mote its treasonable plans.
This criminal direction of the Burschenschoff was according to
the folios ing gradations:—lmmediately under the aboveinentioned
revolutionary society were the secret.unions of the Burschenehoff,
consisting partly of members of the society, partly of Miler
members of the Bursehenschoff, to which both the secret society
and the participation of the other members in it were unknown.
The object of these wart unions were partly to keep up and di.
sect a Burschenscheft, partly the development, dissemination and
consolidation of the principles of the Society; these were the
preparatory schools for the latter, and employed themselves with
the theory of those principles and effects, which it was the end of
the Society to confirm andexecute ; another one of them was, that
the Society formed future members, and became organised with
them. These secret unions had common meetings every y' ear, and
were divided fort that purpose Into two branches ; Halle gene,
lesipelg, and Oettingew 111 Nadi fferrelaty ; Erilagen,'il en:_
burg, Tulingen, Ilidelburg, and Freeburg, for South Germany.
-..e two branches entirely ameurring in principles, held common
_..

Thies
meetiligs. The general meetings were cumbined with what were
called the general meeting of the young men.
In each of hires universities the Burschenscheft was under
the secret directions of these unions. Of the niembeso of the
secret unions, which latter were the unknown mischiefs of live.
schensheft, some were always in the direction, to the other mem.
be of which the unions were unknown. The unions were to the
Bunchenschcft in the same relation as the secret society to the union.
The that outline of the objects which, with especial reference to
liermany, were theoretically treated in the secret unions, and fur
the practice of which the eseiety was formed. Was this equality,,
liberty, unity, in these indehnites, and therefore dangerous ten..
dency developed in the body of anodises, sad the iscilitklual mem.
biers joined to receive them. It as proved that the reading so.
&ties did great mischief in this respect. In those societies
there were generally the individual members of the society and
of the unions, and partly also of the Burschenscholl, in common
with a small number of members of the latter, and books read and
commented upon which were calculated to disseminate the princi.
plea of the society, especially the notorious lectures of Imden upon
Politics, and designs were ebserved among the students, according
to their proficiency in these principles; thus for instance, last year,
in the first course of readings at Hulk, the writings of Title, 'mien,
John, itc. were read in the second? the Constitution of the Spanish
Cortes, and the commentaries on it. Thence it alpears that the
whole studious youth °Enema:ly, with regard to political sentiments
, and attachments to the Prince country, and constitution, and with
!regard to hatred to all existing institutions, and the evil Wu.
mon of being called upon se overthrow them, was under the
mediate influence of • secret revolutionary society, which united
In itself the complete existence of high treason, and admitted the
moat violent means. This influence was the more severe, as this
secret society not only had members in all the degrees of the above.
mentioned revolutionary hierarchy, but used to assemble some
time before the general memblaints, in order to propose those molt,.
Suns which should be taken at eir meetings, and published by it
as laws to all the several 'es of students. Thus, aeorieding to
the documents, was the state of the secret assn iatians from the be- i
ginning of ICI, to the aid a( last year ; aad I will give yott wtW

pleanre any further intimation which mg be particularly inter
mung to Too."

From the Colombian Papers, received yesterday, we
have made some interesting extracts. A grand entertain-
ment was given by the Vice-President on the uz,th of
April, to the British Commissioners, who, in the course of
the evening, expressed in very warm terms their admira-
tion of the patriotic seal and devotion of the Colombians
in establishing their liberties. The strong language used
by these gentlemen clearly indicates the feelings of the
British Government with respect to these new states. We
can hardly suppose the Commissioners would have gone
such lengths, unless the recognition of this Republic was
much nearer than sonic of our contemporaries will admit.
The intelligence from Peru is not later than we gave yes- j
terday, but it explains the late events in that unfortunate
country more (idly. The Decree for investing Bolivar j
with the dictatorial authority states the reasons for that,
measure. It is manifest that the treachery by which !
gap I delivered up had infiked the greatest alarm
Intik du Peruvian Congress. They seem to have thrown;
themselves instantly upon the Colombian army for support.
In the decree the services of Tagle, the President, whose 11
!power was thereby suspended, are very highly praised.
' He had undoubtedly merited the commendations bestowed
jupon him, and it is one of the most singular events con-
nected with the late transactions in Peru, that he should so
Isoon afterwards desert the cause of his country, and ally
himself with the Royalists. As the Spanish commanders
are understood to be hostile to the restoration of the abso-
lute monarchy, it is not improbable that some terms have
been agreed upon between the parties, who have now
coalesced ; for we know not how to believe that Tagle can
have acted the part of a common traitor. If he has, Peru
may yet be torn for some years with intestine war. It ap-
pears that even in Pasto, a district of the province of Quito,
the Spanish partizans still keep some holds in the moun-
tains, and harass the eountrz.

The prompt attention given by the Irish Government to
the state of the distressed distriefa in Galway, has been
attended with the happiest effects. The Commissary
General, Mr. Luseoenbe, has reported that the stock of
provisions on hand will be sufficient until the harvest ; and
the last Irish papers all agree in saying, that within the
memory of man there never was a prospect of a more
alrundant harvest. Seven or eight weeks of dry weather
will satisfy the most sanguine hopes of the corn growers,
and the potato crop promises an equal plenty. In order to
furnish immediate relief to the population, instructions have
been given to proceed with the execution of the public
works in the neighbourhood of Galway and in Cunnemara.
By these means employment will be given to the labouring
poor in those districts. The peasantry are represented as
being filled with gratitude for these marks of the benevo.
lent consideration of the Marquis Wellesley. Certainly
they are deeply indebted to his vigilance; for it appears,
from the Commissary-General's inspection, that the com-
bined want of employment, and dearness of provisions,
would have produced dreadful calamities, if the attention
of the Irish Government had not been directed to the sub-
ject at the first moment when the cries of distress were
raised.

WI xnsoa, Jr IA 6.—This morning his Majesty went
from his Lodge in the Park, in an open carriage, to the
Royal Castle, to meet Mr. Wyatt, the architect, to inspect
his plans for the alterations and improvements about to be
made on the spot. It was owing to the constant attention
which the King paid to the alterations which have lately
been made at the Lodge that caused them to be executed.
and finished with so much promptitude. His Majesty is
expected to pay similar attentions to the works u they pro-
ceed at the Royal Castle.

oon, at four o'clock, the Duke of York
held a Levee as Commander-in-Chief, at his Office in the

Turner, on his being appointed Captain-General of the
Coast of Africa; and Valor-General Murray, on his return
from the West Indies. The Levee was also attended by

THE Fort Pea Cemrs.—Yesterday morning Mr. Rip-

land gave notice to the gentlemen of the Stock Exchange,
that such persons who were dissentients on the arrange-
ment of Government for reducing the interest of the 4 per
Cent. Annuities, may receive the amounts due to them, on
giving four days' notice to the Bank of England now, in-
stead of (ktober, as originally fixed, on allowing a discount
of I per cent. for such advance. This determination of
Government seems to have ken partially known yesterday
afternoon, and has not therefore had an influence on the
prices of the funds yesterday.
Sonic sensation las been excited in the City, by a ru-

which have been duly remitted.—G bin. mu/ Traveller.
