TRIESTE, JAN. 13.
Major Von Prokeseh, who served on board the
Austrian squadron is the Archipelago, arrived in
this city a few days ago. The grant conferring on
Venice the privileges of a free port continues to ex-
cite much uneasiness among our merchants, and
especially among the ship-owners, but their forms
are probably exaggerated. The statutes issued by
the Emperor, confirming the freedom of the port,
have been published in Venice.
The Greek merchantmen in our port have lately
obtained permission to hoist their national flag.

Numerous . promotions have taken place in the
Imperial Family.
• The Vienna Gazette publishes the meteorological
Pbservation4.in the Imperial Observatory at Vienna,
in the year 1829. At the conclusion of the report
is the following passage :
If the year 1829 was considerably colder than
many preceding ones, the two cold winters
of 1783 and 1784 (unless January, 1830,
should prove very severe), are not yet pa-
ralleled; especially the first, when the thermometer
1,4 Vienna toll to 3 degrees below zero, (according

(lent

" PARIS, JAN. 24.
!tA feverish state of suspense and alarm seems
Present to paralyze tile exertions of the poli-
tleal agitators in the French capital. Some say
th n a prorogation of the Chambers will yet take
I tipyand the 2d of March, the day for which
nuir stand Burnt -ported to assemble. This
or has :arisen from the assumed certainty, that
a Ministers will be defeated on the question of
,the Address in answer to the Speech from the
rhNne. An amendment will undoubtedly be
114)ve I in the Chamber of Deputies, and, it is
'kid, will as undoubtedly be carried by a large
ta"jority, in which a demand will be made in re-
4l'actful and energetic language for the dismissal
Ilia Majesty's Ministers. From the calcula-
Zlia I have seen of Ole probable division on
'1,5 amendment, the highest number stated in
:'our of the Ministerial Address has been 150
°tea in a house of 430 members, almost all of
Thom will be present on the occasion. This
4t!!vtrient is very faintly denied by the wanncs!
'ads of the Ministry, who content themselves
filth exclaiming against the tactics of the Oppo-
vil'oll,. by "declaring.the proposed amendment a
()lent, encroachment on the Royal prerogative.

They refer to the celebrated Address proposed
by i\'lirabeau, and voted by acclamation in the
Constituent Assembly of 1789, which they say
cannot possibly be surpassed in regard either to
energy or respect, although its obvious tendency
and its undoubted result were the horrors of
anarchy, regicide, and revolution. Those who
believe that Prince Polignac will take the alarm
before the arrival of the 2d of March, and will
not venture to meet the Chambers in the present
aspect of affairs, suggest the probability of ad-
journment being made to the month of October,
when it is said that the Ministry will recur to a
sort of argumentum ad nzisericordiam, and
will plead the urgency of the case, and the ne-
cessities of the country as inducements for vot-
ing the budget. They may thus, it is supposed,
succeed in shaking those timid and irresolute
characters who are to be found in every great
popular assembly ; and in the mean time, by
the proper application of the influence arising
from place, patronage, and power, it is supposed
that a considerable number of the patriots of the
cote gauche may be detached from the ranks of
the Opposition. For my part I have no con-
fidence in this view of the matter. lam per-
suaded that the Chambers will assemble on the
appointed day, and I have very little doubt that
the Ministry will be left in a minority on the Ad-
dress. I put little faith in the bravadoes of the
Gazette, in whose columns it is daily contended
that the Ministry will retain theirplaces in defiance
of the declared wishes of the Chamber. Such state-
ments are evidently put forth ad captandin, and

,t is not to be denied that there are men in

France, mixing even in what
,is called good so-
ciety, who still retain a sort of supersitious reve-
rence for the ensigns of royalty, and, like the
worshippers at Juggernaut, are ready to throw

themselves and their chartered liberties under
the chariot wheels of their idol. Such men
would gladly see the retirement of what is called

the hesitating party in the present Cabinet, viz.
de Chabrol, de Courvoisier, and d'Hau:sez, in
order to give place for more decided characters
to match with the Premier, de Bourmont, and
Guernon de Ranville. Those at present cited
are Dudon, Cornet-Dincourt, Vitrolles, Berryer,
and Ravez ; and it must be confessed that a
Cabinet would thus be formed more decidedly
homogeneous in its character than that which at
present exists.

"Perhaps there is nothing which more strongly
evinces the state of fermentation and activity
which has pervaded the public mind since the
accession of
.the present Ministry than the fact,
that no less than four daily journals, of the first
class, have already been started in Paris, with
every prospect of a further increase in their num-
ber. lam one of those who are well convinced

that the public press of a country affords a true
and unfailing criterion of the tastes and senti-
ments of the people. These new journals I
apprehend would not have made their appearance
had there not been a real demand for them in

the wants and feelings of the public at large,
and judging from the principles they espouse,
that demand must be on the side of liberty as
opposed to that ofrestriction and prerogative. The
Times, the Universal, and the National having
been for some time in existence, are, no doubt,
well known to you ; and the Globe, which was
originally devoted to the interests of literature, in
that school or department which is known in
France. under the name of Romanticism; and
of which the Viscount de Chateaubriand is the
magnus Apollo, has latterly applied itself to
politics, and is henceforth to be publshed daily
as a miscellaneous, political, and literary journal,
supporting, of course, as it has hitherto done,
the great principles of public liberty.
" Speaking of the Public Press, it it worthy
of remark, that in this country a number of dis-

tinguished Members of both Houses of the
Legislature are regular contributors to the daily
journals, while some of them take a more active
and decided management as editors or con-
ductors ; and in place of feeling any reluctance
to appear in this manner before the public, not a
few of them are well satisfied IA ith the dis-

tinction which they thus acquire, and do
not hesitate to annex their signatures at full
length to their daily lucubrations. This per-
haps arises from the decided inferiority of
Frenchmen in general as public speakers, and
the extreme inaptitude of the tribune as a school
of oratory. There an unpremeditated sally or
a spirited reply is never heard. Each member
who proposes to speak on a given subject in
scribes his name before-hand, to secure himself a
hearing ; and when he ascends the reading
desk, as the tribune may fairly be called,
he comes prepared with a formal es-
, say, better calculated, in general, from the
style in which it is delivered, to put his ,
audience to sleep than to stir them up to any
sudden flood of mutiny. It follows that an ora-
tion from the tribune is reduced to the level of
a written essay ; and when it is remembered that
the reporters for the public press in this country
are not very expert in catching the EVE 2.
Irl'EFOEY7o:—the winged words of a rapid or
practised speaker, it is not wonderful that the
daily journals should be preferred as a direct and
acknowledged medium of' public communication.
Benjamin Constant, for instance, is indefa-
tigable in his contributions to his favourite jour-
nal, the Courrier Francais. It is now ten
years since this distinguished publicist took his
place in the Chamber of Deputies, where he in.

stantly assumed the high ground which he still
maintains. Remarkable as he was among the
supporters of an Opposition which was then
weak in numbers, but strong in talent, he dis-
tinguished himself by the obstinacy and per-

severance with which he defended the principles
he is known to support ; and as he was opposed
by a party who thought themselves even more
constitutional than himself, he has had the more

merit in carrying them along with hi►n, since his
devotion to the cause of liberality cannot now
be brought into question. The only stain which
has ever been thrown on his character is, that
in the latter years of the reign of Napoleon he
entertained a leaning towards the Imperial go-'

vernment, but that stain he h•is since effaced 1.
renewed exertions in the Constitutional cause."

If the circumstances of the Agricultural In•
terest be, in truth, such as to entitle it to claim
with justice an alleviation of its bu: diens, it
plain that such alleviation ought to take place in
those impositions which press upon the land ii►
an exclusive manner. The only King's Taxe,
rof this description are the Malt Duty of 32 mil-
lions, and the Hop Duty of 400,0001. pet
annum, which are levied upon the produce of
the soil almost as soon as it is gathered ; after
which follow the less direct duties on Beer
and British Spirits, amounting, the former to
above three, and latter to about four millions an-
nually. There is then the Land Tax of a mil-
lion a year, but beyond this, there arc, so far as
we can perceive, no Government taxes which can
at all be said to affect exclusively the landed
interest.

Taking these taxes altogether at twelve mil•

lions, and adding to them five millions for the
portion of the Poor Itates falling on the land
(that on dwelling-houses, factories, &c. being
about three), and five millions more for the
Tithes, the agricultural burthens, using the ex-
pression in an extended sense, may be set down
at about twenty-two millions a-year.

According to CoLQufroutsr, the net annual
profits of British agriculture are near 220 mil-
lions sterling, therefore the burthens are, to the
clear profits, only in the ratio of one to ten, at
the utmost. This shows how considerably the
burthens of the land have been over-rated, and
how small a proportion they bear to the protec-
tion derived from the Corn Bill—a protection
which has been often admitted to be equivalent
to between 60 and 70 per cent. No other
branch of industry is favoured to an extent any-
thing like this.

The agricultural, or any other interest, that is
saddled with impositions disproportionate to
those of the rest of the community, have a fair
right to complain ; and there is no object in
finance that the Government should seek to at-
tain more diligently, than the equal distribution
among all classes of the national charges. But
so long as any part of the system of protection is
upheld, its value to the protected interest must
be taken into account, or justice cannot possibly
be done. If Great Britain were not afflicted
with Corn Laws for the benefit of the landlords,
those gentlemen's complaints would be put forth
with a far better grace than at present, when the
people are actually debarred from buying corn
wherever it may be to be had cheapest, in order
to enable rents to be kept up to a standard arti-
ficially and unreasonably high, in comparison
with the general value of labour throughout the

country.
We are anxious for a reduction in the Malt
and Beer Duties, because it is next to a certainty
that consumption would be so much increased
that the Revenue would not suffer, whilst the
health, comfort, and morals of the lower classes
would be preserved from the destruction which
threatens them. It is moreover highly desirable
that the Poor Laws should undergo a thorough
revision, and that some attempt should be made,
either by emigration, home colonies, or some-
thing else, to stop the progress of pauperism,
which is exhausting the means of the industrious,
at a rate to which it may, one day, be impossible
to set bounds. We see also, the necessity of
such an alteration taking place in the tithe
system, as might preserve to us the benefits of an
active and enlightened clergy, for the comfort and
relief of distress in mind, body, and estate, and
the maintenance of peace and good will among
men, whilst it relieved the country of the expence
of the idleness and profligacy which an authorized
system of jobbing and corruption could hardly
have failed to engender in the Church. But if
such changes were to happen, and agriculture be
thereby benefited beyond all other branches of
industry, with what justice could it then call on
the State to continue to protect it by Corn
Laws ? The reason why the opponents of free
trade sometimes get a good handle to attack it,
is the existence of those monopolies which pre-
vent its having fair play, among which the corn
prohibition is the most mischievous and abomi-
nable. Abuses are so numerous and thriving
among us, that they are constantly set up as jus-
tification and defences for each other; they
form a succession of entrenchments behind
which the devil takes refuge, and bids defiance
to the reiterated attempts of honest men and
good citizens, to drive him from the citadel.

EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM A TIIURLES
CORUESPONDENT.--." A report prevails hereto-day that
the celebrated litany, who was outlawed for the murder
of 3lAna, was found 'dead, and his.body was privately in-
terred ; hut on his 'friends learning of a Magistrate that he
might be interred publicly (as no man is recognised guilty
till tried and so found by a Jury of country), he was
forthwith disinterred, and amidst a large concourse of
peop'e removed for internment to a church-yard. It is
suppused that getting out of a wood in the neighbourhood
of Longfield, he slipped off a ditch and falling on 'a
Pistol
he had slung by his side it went off and mortally wounded
him. Thus perished a most daring spirit, who fur years
set all thu authorities at defiance.—Since the above was

CITY, TWELVE 0' CLOCK

From the American Papers to the 26th of December,
received at the North and South American Coffee-house
this morning :—There has been a very heavy gale in the
vicinity of St. John's, New Brunswick on the 12th of
December ; trees, fences, &c. were blown down, also two
small pinnacles on the tower of St. John's church, con-
sisting of two stones weighing five hundred weight each.
The gale was also severe at St. Andrew's.

Accounts from Mexico stase that the affaits of that
country were tranquil. The conducta, which was to
leave tLe capital on the Bth Nov., was to bring an un-
usually large amount in specie, about two millions of
dollars.

By the brig Caraccas, in 13 days from St. Thomas's,
accounts have been received from Colombia, that all was
tranquil in the provinces of Venezuela and Maturin.
The French Commander of St. Pierre has despatched a
vessel to Halifax for a supply of 500 barrels of flour.
Montreal Papers to the 17th December, and Quebec
to the 13th December, have also been received at
.the
North nad South American Coffee-house. The i\lontreal
Papers are void of interest. The Queb:c Papers state
that the navigation of the river at that port was closed by
ice, and that sufficient snow had fallen to make good
winter reads.

TIIE FUNDS.
The Consol Market, which left off yesterday afternoon
very heavy at 921 in the house, and were afterwards done
at 92- opened this morning in a very sickly state at
92i- 1 for the account, since which they receded to 92/ tol
and 92 for money, which is a fall since yesterday morning of
I to / per cent. Consols are now 921 for the Account.
The true cause of this retrograde movement is not as yet
ascertained, it is said, that it is owing to some firiancial
measures going to be adopted on the opening of Parlia-
ment ; also that Ministers have given up the plan of pay-
ing off the Four per Cents.
The Foreign Market is also very heavy, and most of
the prices are lower then yesterday.
Accounts from Madrid of the Ist Jan., state, that ac-
cording to the Budget, there is a deficiency in the Re-
venue of 14,155,131 reals.
They write from Lisbon, that the Count Bastos, Minis-
ter of State, and the favourite of the late Queen, on her
dea:h repaired to the Palace of Don Miguel, to condole
with him. Don Miguel ordered him immediately tore-
tire, and never more appear in his presence.

PANIC IN THE MONEY MARKET.
For a long time, past the Consol Market has not been
so agitated as it was this day, about twelve o'clock, when
a genera panic took place. Consols, which were in the
early part of the morning at 921, fell to 911 for the Ac-
count. The whole home was panic struck, and all
sellers. Various reports were into circulation, such
as two millions of Exchequer Bills going to be funded
—the Clubs at the West end of the town having sold
upwards of a million of Stock—unfavourable accounts of
his Majesty's health—a dissolution of Parliament, &c. &c. ;
but within a short period a re-action has taken place,
and Consols at present may be quoted 921. With all this
panic we understand the Hebrew party have been purchasing
therefore it is presumed that time evil is not so great as ima-
gined. There appears to be a great abundance of stock on
the market, with money in great plenty. Little attention
t: paid to the Foreign Market, as all the bustle is in that
of the British.
Letters have been received from Vienna this morning, of
the 13th of January, stating that from the Ilth of Jan.
to the 13th, a great movement in the Funds took place
there : the Five per Cents. fell from 105 to 1024 ; Bank
shares receded from 1,301, exclusive of the dividend to
1,264; the Four per Cents. were 94. The above fall in
the Funds is attributed to persons having overbought
themselves.

TEARING NEWSPAPERS.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sut,—l have taken your Paper for a long time, and am
quite satisfied with it; but I have lately been very
strongly importuned to discontinue it, and substitute for it
a cotemporary Evening Paper. I consulted the Gentlemen
who frequent my parlour, and they were unanimously of
opinion that " The Sun" was the best Evening Paper,
and I consequently refused to change. Since my refusal,
my copy of " The Sun" has been torn in the room every
evening, so as to be scarcely legible ; and I am informed
that the same has been the case in several other houses in
my neighbourhood, If you notice this matter it may at
once lead to the detection of the delinquent, and induce
your rival's agents to adopt a more honourable opposition
by emulating the excellence of your Paper.
I am, Sir, your obedient Servant.
