LONDON :
MONDAY, J.INCAVY G.

IT has been stated that the outgoings of the financial
year just. expired exceed the income by no less a sum
than 20 it must not be supposed that
Ministers did not originally foresee an excess of expendi-
ture over income, and provides accordingly, or as
nearly as they could ; anti the true method of stating
the question would be, to let us know, first, whether
the actual expenditure last year hap• exceeded the per-
manent and temporary revenue conjointly ; and next,
whether any, and how much of temporary revenue may
be rendered thrthcoming for the commencing year ; as
it might be too much► to assert, that not a farthing of
temporary revenue could be raised fur the year 1817,
in the same way, or from the same sources, from which
'above 17 millions have been raised for the year ending
1816. In looking over the i'c•cns of temporary revenue,
we cannot, for example, see why the 9 millions from
the Hank should stop at once.
It must therefore be clearly understood, that the ex-
cess of expenditure over revenue for last year was cal-
culated upon and provided for by Ministers ; but the
difficulty will be, if the expenditure is not reduced for
the commencing year, to find temporary means to meet
it beyond the permanent revenue of 9 or 10 millions;
to which sum indeed, at the most, our annual expellees
ought to be reduced. Indeed, even with respect to the
year which is just expired, we should suppose that
Ministers have adopted such reductions as must have
sunk the expences below their original estimate, so that
they will have a sum to carry forward in their favour :
but this reasoning proceeds upon the supposition, that
the taxes also have actually kept up to their estimate,
which is more than doubtful. With respect to articles
of temporary revenue, those of last year will be seen
in our Correspondent's letter, and, as we have before
said, we do nut know why, it' a necessity existed, they
might not be partially carr:e I on. Some oC them un-
doubtedly terminate, and their places must be sup-
plied to the extent to which the ex/anises of the year
may render it necessary.

Upon this point, therefore, as all the worM—that is,
all the me nicd world—thinks and talks much, we also
shall venture to offer our advice and opinion. Nfinis-
ters will have some difficulties to encounter either way
—whether they endeavour to reduce the expenses, or
to raise an income which they may please to call tempo-
rary ; but which, if it is to be raised every year, it
were better to call permanent at once, that the nation
may see what it has to expect : hitt our firm persuasion
is, that the easiest way is the honestest also ; and that
less difficulty, less practical difficulty, will be encoun-
tered in reducing the expenses of government, than in
raising a revenue of the nature we have described, in
the present condition of the country.

By the Mail which arrived from Flanders on Fri -
day, we are put in possession of a fret strongly illus-
trative of the spirit of disunion that prevails between
Belgium and Holland. The Papers and Letters from
Brussels are dated. the 30th ult.; and the principal
subject to which their contents relate, is the Importa-
tiou of Corn to ruuntry front the nearest pert&of

JANtrAAY 6.

the Continent. This must be considered as a matter of
considerable domesti.: intevst. It app:rars that am
angry discussion had taken place in the States-General
at Brussels, on the /and-export of Corn from that coun-
try. When any argument was urged in favour of the
measure, the audience in the gallery testified their dis-
r.pprobation in so noisy a manner, as frequently to
interrupt the proceedings. The people of the N ether-
lainTs labour under the iniprcs.lion, that their interests
are lost sight of in the desire of favouring England.
and of gratifying the Dutch merchants. The Bill
h.tthre the Chamber.; was carried by a majority of 72 to
Z. The speech of 11. IZEVPHENS is very important, as
' it shows the strong conflict of interests, the decided
opposition of opinion and breach of unity which exist
lwetween the old and new provinces of the Dutch
government: from u part of this gentleman's speech it
also appears, that exports of grain to Trance we:e
among the objects of apprehens:on. An opinion pre-
vailed in this country, that the exportation by sea was
also .prohibited; but this rumour appears to be un-
founded. It is well known, that other corn may be
exported from Holland than that which is grown in
Belgium : this supply can be procured from the Baltic
and Poland, though more di,tant, nt a cheaper rate
than from the Belgian provinces, which are so muelt
nearer, but where that article is in so much greater
demand.

The King of the NETDERLANDS is gone to Luxem-
burg, attended by PatNee FREDERICK ;wd the Mar.
Shut of his Palace, with a view, it is said, to witness
the situation of his subjects in respect to „rain, in that
the scarcest quarter, and to adopt such measures as

may bugged fur their iinmediatu

Saturday we received the Paris papers of Wednes-
day lu.st. They do not contain any intelligence of much
importance. The King received on Tuesday last depu-
tations from the Chamben of Peers and Deputies, the
Ministers, Marshals and Generals.
The debates in the Chamber of Deputies on the
Law of Election in France have been conducted with
considerable spirit and ability. This important dis-
cussion has nut yet terminated : we shall be enabled
to give the result in our next it-umber.
The official part the Monitear is filled with Dc.
crees respecting the National Guard : there is also one,
raising the town of Pan, in Navarre, tae birth-place
of Henry IV. to the rank and privileges of a " good
town of Fra.:cc."

One of the Decrees contained in the Monkeys of
Tuesday raises Marshal Oudinot to the situation of In.
Spector-General of the National Guards cf the Depart-
ment of the Seine, and places him on the Committe or
Council over which Monsieur presides as•Colonel-Ge.
neral of the National Guards. It is the province cf
this Council to watch over the interests of the National
Guards generally throi,,,,hout the kingdom ; and we
need not add, that its influence is excessive in giving
any requisite tone or temper to the public mind. We
do not pretend to know so much of state secrets as to
be able to trace these new honours conferred on Oudi-
not to any other source but that of royal gratis 'ale. It
will be recollected, that he flamed the King to
Ghent, and is considered as one of his Majesty's per-
sonal favourites.—Nis presence at this Ihrmidable
Council Board will, therefore, be doubly gratif ing to
his Royal master, because if it be true that the French
Princes have set up a faction behind the throne, and
are in the habit of using the National Guards as in-
struments to promote their political objects, the King
and his ministers will find in Marshal Ondinot, :it
least, one staunch supporter of moderation

A lamentable catalogue of crimes fills the columns
of the minor French Journals : assassinatiim nicans
of poison seems to be a prevalent mode of gratit ink the
cupidity, or reveagct of the lower orders ; who cetii to
he left in the most deplorable ignorance of the epoonon
principles of right and wrong.

It appears by a letter, purporting to be frcm Madrid,
that the Jesttits have been restored to their property
and privile.,7es : this is in direct opposition to the ac-
counts lately received from Spain, stating, that the Inn&
of the Clergy were to be made available forthe wants
of the State ; anti which accounts we are still inelined
to confide in. The French Journalists are no admirers
of the present Spanish Government ; and they are
therefore not scrupulous as to the intelligence they give
from that country. There is in the same French Papers
an article from Augsburg, dated on the 20th of Decem-
ber, which positively states, that a Papal Bricl is ime
mediately to appear for the reduction and regulation of
the Monastic Orders generally ; and, of course,. Spain
included.

A droulful fire broke out at Smyrna, which would
have been attended with the most fluid conaequen.l;?s
had it not been for the prompt and active assistance
afforded by tile officers and crew of a Frcmit frigate in
the harbour.

&aimlay two Haruborgh Mails arrived. We have es-
Useted from the papers brought by them the following
nulstiohnly o:liele, tel,ich it will be seen hew muds.

greater the distress is upon the Continent than in this
country.

" VIENNA, DEr. 18.

'e Alarming accounts are received from various pares
of the Austrian monarchy respeaing the daily incmasing
dearness of provisions. In some parts of Tyrol, the
Salzburg. Mountains, Upper Carinthia, mid the greatest
part of there is such a scarcity that the people
Lave recourse to bread made of bran and powdered
bark of trees. In the environs of Agruni the vountrY
people farmed the woods in order that they may catch
the rats in them, which are smoked, and considered a
delicacy. The accounts from Bohemia are als.) far
from consolatory, and it is feared that the mountainous
parts may be distressed by &mine in Spring, which
would have the must fatal consequences for the nume-
rous manuflictories in those parts."

The Speech of the President of the United States of
America to both Houses of Congress, flqins a State
Pawr which must excite considerable interest in this
country. That part which particularly relates to Great
Britain is couched in the following terms.

" Previous to the late Convention at London, be-
tween the United States and Gi-eat Britain, the relative
rtate of the Navigation Laws of the two countries,
growing out of the Treaty of 1794, luul given to the
British navigation a material advantage over the Ame-
rscan, in the intercourse between the American ports
and British ports in Europe. The Convention of ton-
don equalized the laws of the two countries, relating to
those ports: leaving the intercourse between our ports
and the ports of the British Colonies, subject, as betiire,
to the respective regulations of the parties. The British
Government, enforcing, now, regulations which
bit a trade between its Colonies and the United States,
in American vessels, whilst they permit a trade iu Bri-
tish vessels, the American navigation loses accordingly ;
and the loss is augmented by the advantage which is
given to the BritisTi competition over the American, in
the navigation between our ports and Bridal ports in
Europe, by the circuitous voyages, enjoyed by the one
and not enjo7ed by the Other.
" The reasonableness of tie rule of reeiprocity, ap-
plied to the one branch of the commercial intercourse,
has been pressed on our part, as equally applicable to
both branches ; but it is ascertained, that the British
Cabinet declines all ne,gociation on the subject; with a
disavowal, however of any disposition to view, in an
unfriendly light, whatever countervailing regulations
the United States may oppose to the regulations of which
they complain. The wisdom of the Legislature will
decide on the course which, under these circumstances,

is prescribed by a jcint regard to the amiable rel.ttions
between the two nations, and to the just interests of
the United States."

We are decidedly of opinion, that the British Go-
vernment will decline all negviciatiod crn this subj..yct.
The Navigation Act of I 7g4 determines the question.

We are coin-erne:l to state, that her Majesty is in.lis-
posed, and will not perhaps be able to go again to
fir,p;o•liton, at least so 400 n as she intended. The Duke
a York announced the intelligence to the Prince Re-
gent. But her Majesty's indisposition, we are glad to
hear; is by no means serious. . _ .

The complaint of the Queen is an inflammation of the
howds ; but we are glad to hear, that the latest accounts
last night state, that Her Majesty is better, having had
&um; tranquil sleep on Saturday night. The Duchess of
Gloucester went yesterday to see her mother; and mes-
sengers are s: nt daily to ilrighton to the Regent.
The members of thee Queen's Council assembled at
Windsor on Saturday, notwithstanding the inaiTosition
of the Queen. They assembled at the Upper Lodge at
1 o'clock. _ _ _

Ile:re is A report mentioned in one Or two cf the pa-
pers, thet at a Cabinet Connell held at Brighton, Mi-
nisters proposea to delay the Meeting of Parliam:nt,
but that fie Prince Regent refus:::l to assent. There
is not a word of truth in this. Parliament will cu.-
taiiily meet on the .'2Bth instant.

It is reportefl at the Treasury, that there is to be
neither a Public Luau nor any new Taxes ; but Mi-
nisters will have recourse to Exchequer Bills, and a
loan from the Bank.

The French funds have fallen : their depression may
be fairly ::serib,tl to the failure of all attempts to nego-
tiate a loan in Great Britain, ad:led to the great un-
certainty respecting the result of the Duke of Welling-
ton's visit.
Since our last has arrived a mail from Flanders. The
mnst important part of the contents of the Papers brought
by t'.is Mail relates to the Law respecting the Egpr‘
tation of Grain, which has been so witch the subject of
discus•ion a.td conversation both here and in the Nether-
landi. The Chamber of Belgium Representatives have
t!tr,eva cut the Bill ! They ground their 01)1)4:kiwi to
the measure on mere informality, but it is evident that
there are s•nne reasons in the back ground : on the
the _lll _
clause for prohibiting exportation b land frontier,
an Amendment was proposed, with a view to include
Antwerp, ;ma other' pow., in this prohibition. This

- "PQISTEIt. mit !IA ar rem it.

Amendment was not taken up with any thing like a
spirit of approval.
The intelligence communicating the important fact
of the rejection, by tie: Upper Chamber, of the Corn
Exportation Bill, is dated Brussels, December 21. It •
therefore dues away the authenticity of the letters from
Holism(' of the t 4th, which stated that the Law had
passed, and was already acted upon. Brussels, it will
be recollected, is the plus: where the Belgian Legisla-
ture bola its Sittings.
As considerable obscurity hangs over the real import
of the Law just alluded to, we think it right to state,
that by the intended en:laments, the e.yortation to
England of Corn glvnat it the Netherlands was strictly
prohibited. Foreign corn, however, of which there is
an immense quantity already warehoused iu the Nether-
lands, might be freely exported. The cargoes of Lids
description arc mulersttxxl to be all bargained fur by
English merchants. By the same law all emairtation
of corn of any kind to France, by Me land frontier, was
strictly prohibited.

A letter from Brighton states, that " the birth-day
of the Princess Charlotte of Wales will be celebrated at
the Pavilion with a gran3 entertainment on Tuesday
next, awl in the evening a splendid ball will be given
to the Nobility. Her Majesty, the Princess Charlotte
f Wales, Prince Leopoli of Saxe Cobourg, and the
Princesses, are expected to be present.
We under.itand that, daring the late short visit of
the Duke of Wellington to London, the bargain for
tl,e purchase of Sir Gerard Noel's superb estate was
finally ratified. His Grace will thus be placed nearly in
the centre of England.

The will of the late Sir Roger Curtis was regis-
tonal in the Perogative Court, Doctors' Commons, on
the 24th ult. The executors are, his son, Sir Lucius
Curtis, Bart. William Ely Cook, Esq. of the .Adelphi,
and Donnas Andrews Nlinehin, of the Grove, Alver-
stone, Hants, Esq. It is dated oa the 21st of February,
I 8 I (i. The effects are sworn under 60,0001. In a codi-
cil, in his own hand-writing, and wherein he describes
himself as near seventy years of age, the testator ex-
presses a conviction that he shall (:e sialanly ; he de-
sires to be buried as privately al possible, under the
chancel of Catherington Church, in -a vault there pre-
pared for the purpose : a small mural monument is to
be erected, for which he has transcribed the form of a
brief inscription.
Mr. PLATT.—We have inquired after the state of
this Geatlcinan's health, and learnt that his recovery
was very slow. He has not yet been able to be removed
from his bed, except ti,r the purpose of having it made.
His recovery is, however, not doubted, although the
ball is not extracted.

The cases, lately produced by the demand of the
Bank to retain forged notes, after the value of them had
been paid by respectable individuals, will give occasion,
to some discussion in Parliament, and probably to an
alteration of the Act upon the subject.
At Shields, 300 to 400 sail of ships, value nearly
one million sterling, are laid up mid unrigged, owing
to the badness of trade ; and it is supposed, that those
which are now on their voyage must adopt the same
measure on their return to port, the capital of the clubs
being so reduced, that they will in future be subjected
to the regular premium, which the present low freights
will not enable them to pay. It is hoped, that this
state of things will induce some competent person to
inquire into the cause, so as to ward
,off the alarming
consequences which may naturally be expected to result
from the continuance of such a stagnation in the staple
trade of the port.

Of 191 ships and upwards on Wednesday at the
Coal Market, not one was s.old. One cause of this may
be the open state of the weather, which has allowed a
regular supply, without obstruction. The highest price
quoted at Monday's market, was 395. per chaldron, or
51s. delivered to the consumer ; only three ships and a
half were sold at this price.

ANECDOTES OF THE LAT 4 191 W 'Wl'i ".
This ahle but unfortunate Statesman, was distin-
guished by what Mr. Gibbon terms the incomparable
felicity of his temper, an I by the meat complete 631f-
possession in the most vehement and acrimonious debate*.
In early life he was not in general regarded as a young
man of promising talents. Mr. George Grenville (grand•
bather of the present Marquis of Buckingham) and
Mr. F. Townshend, while walking together one day in
the Park, observed Lord North, then a very young man,
repeating something to himself,' accompanied with a
good deal of action. " There goes blubbering North
(mid Mr. Townsend); what can that stupid felloW
possibly be about ?"—" Ys.o are completely mistaken
in North, (replied Mr. Grenville); he is a young man
of great talents, and bids fair, in a few years, to be
Prime Minister of the country;" a prediction which, in
the course of 12 years, was realized. •
In a debate in the House of Lords, towards the
close of Lord North's Administration, a nobleman is

the Opposition, after indulging in some very pointed
animadversions against the Premier, concluded by call-
ing him that thing of a Minigter. This was reported
to his Lordship by some officious friend, who at the
same time, expressed him opinion that it was incum-
bent upon him to resent it. That I shall most et!r-
tainly do, said his Lordship, by keeping my place ;
as I know the Noble Lord only wants to be the thing I

For the last years of his life, Lord North was totally
blind. He had always been near-sighted, and was in
the habit, after throwing sand upon his dispatches, to
hold them close to his eyes, which the small particles of
sand are snppc-NI to have entered, and thus to lia‘e
caused irremediable blindness.

Soon after the marriage-of his brother with a Lady
of the name of BaniAter, a Gentleman conversing with
Lord North upon the aalijett, took occasion to remark,
that he understood she was Rut a of fitaily.—.
Why, as to that, Isiat his Lordship, I understand, she is
nearly related to the Stairs.

Soon after his fall from power, Lord North was di-
ning with one of his friends who to the last had adhered
to his fortunes ; and previously to dinner being served,
amused himself with his f iend's son, a sprightly boy of
1;2 years of age, to whom he gave a quantity of sweet-
meats. After dinner, his Lordship was desirous of re-
newing his amusement with his young friend, which
however the Liter declined, observing that he had r,)
more swcetnit :its to give him. Ah, said hi.
Lordship, you are not the only one who paid court to
Inc when I bad swectimats to give them, and neglect
tic now when I have none.
