THE BRUNSWICK REVOLUTION.

(From the Morning Chronicle.)
We have received a pamphlet, published at Bruns-
wick. by Messrs. Frederick Vieweg and Son, giving
a plain unvarnishdd account of the insurrection in
that won -on the 6th and 7th of September, it
its causes and immediate consequences. The pe•
ritual of it might be attended with profit at this time,
and in this country, by those more especially who
do not appreciate the proceedings in Ireland or in
Kent, and who think that in the notices to quit
served at Newark, and Stamford, and the Borough
of Lord Huntingtower—these beautiful readings of
the English Constitution—Englishmen have addi-
tional motives of attachment to things as they are.
The Duke of Brunswick, we are told, before his
removal to Paris—
" Pushed his system of retrenchment to a more and
more ruinous extreme. The burdens of the people
were not diminished—even expired taxes were con-
tinually augmented, notwithstanding the continual re-
monstrance. of the States, and all terminated in the plan
on which he was evidently acting, to collect together all
the resources of the State in the Princely. treasury, there
to be heaped up, or employed in the purcha.e of Stocks
at the disposition of the Prince. Numerous places in all
the branches of the Administration remained vacant,
even in the Department of Justice. No functionary could
hope for any improvement in hie situation ; and the great
object in appointing to a place was not the fitness for it,
but how little should be given in the way of allowance.
The richer and more respectable families left the capital of
A country which seemed doomed to calamity, thousands
were deprived of the means of subsistence, the rents of
houses fell one-third, the value otte•half, so that the pos-
sessors of houses were severe sufferers. The expenditure
for public objects buildings, the management of forests,
the making and repair of roads, was coast intly diminished.
The only cbject of the Duke seetned to be, to scrape toge-
ther money as rapidly as possible ; if it had been wished
to destroy the sources of production completely, more rui-
nous means could not have been devised, Public estates
were sold in violation of the Constitution at ruinous prices,
all means of obtaining money were resorted to. The sums
granted every year for the public buildings and manage-
ment of forests were, from the year ISSO, struck out of
the accounts; thousands of the poorer inhabitants of the
country—in the districts, for instance, of the Hare and the
Weser—were deprived of their sole means of subsistence.
The whole of the treasures which bad been collecting for
yea's, and amounted to an enormous sum, had found their
way to Paris, and new treasures werescollected to go the
same way." _ _ _

The Duke had promised himself, no doubt, great
pleasure in his character of Absentee Prince and
Landlord, with the expending the treasures he had
wrung by those meats from the Ingiple. who had the
misfortune to be his subjects. BliThe who reckons
without his host must reckon twice. The Revola"
tion of Paris disturbed him in the midst of his plea-
sures, and he was obliged to return to his subjects.
"The very moment of his return he seemed to dread a
repetition of the scenes he had witnessed at Paris. On his
first visit to the theatre he avoided the usual road, and pro-
(*wird by a circuitous one. He appeared armed with pis-
tols ; and when, on the day after his return, he was taking
an airing in his carriage, a wheel happening to be loose,
some of the bye-standers,:pereeiving it, called out ' Halt !
halt !' The Duke, considering this call the breaking out
of an insurrection, rushed out of the carriage, and took
shelter in a neighbouring house."
We have not space at present to notice the ye.
rious acts of misconduct which at last deprived the
people of Brunswick of all patience. We shullhere
merely notice the instructive scene which preceded
the termination of the reign of this scourge of his
people.
" Already, in the 'forenoon of the 7th, the Duke had
given notice to the occupiers of the houses opposite the Pa-
lace to remove their effects from the front rooms, as it was
his intention to receive all insurrectionary visitors with
grape-shot; and that he would indemnify any dainage the
buildings might sustain, but make no compensation for
other property destroyed. The announcement created
terror among the occupiers of the houses, and the whole
town was full of the intended measures. The Duke haul,
in presence of several Officers of his Household and Mem •
bets of his Ministry, communicated to General Von Hers.
berg his intention of having recourse to military force, if
new attempts on the part of the people should be made..—,
This noble individual warned him against the dreadful
eiinsequences which might test& from severity pushed too
far, or commenced in too much haste. He represented in
nuntly language the grievances of the necessitous people,

Here we close our extracts for the present. The
narrative affords an instructive lesson to those who
Possess power, and those who suffer from its abase.
Let no man flutter himself with the idea that the
patience of any people under suffering is inex-
haustible. No; the world was not made merely for
the indulgence of every caprice of a few; the mil-
lions who are the victims of their vicious indulgence
are men as well as themselves, with the feelings of
men; and when humanity has been lost sight of
with regard to them, they not unfrequently read a
severe lesson to their oppressors.

ON THE LAWS IN FRANCE REGULAT-
ING THE TAXES ON LIQUORS.

The following is the abstract of a long article,
which has been published in Paris by the
Editors of the Temps, and sent with their Jour-
nal to all their subscribers :

The writer begins by stating: the amount
of
,tlf pm on -liquors, • which amounts td
10$000,000 francs, under the failovvini heads
tax on transport (circulation), , 9,000,00060
entrance, 17,500,000—0 n selling in retail,
58,000,000—City of Paris, exclusive regime,
12,500,000—licenses, 3,000,000. These taxes
cause the most serious, complaint in the wine
countries, for which it is necessary to find a re-
medy, and this it is the author's object to pro-
vide. He begins with the history of the tax. It
was established in 1806, as it was found at the
restoration. The object of it was, to levy a tax
on consumption ; and to accomplish this the
producer was subjected to, have the quantity of
his produce verified, and the consumer used to
pay the tax. Wishing to compensate the grower
for the troubles prepared for him, the general
principle of the law was violated in his favour,
and a part of his produce, supposed to be suffi-
cient for his family, was exonerated from the
tax. The harvest was examined, and he was
made responsible for the amount of the tax, de-
ducting an allowance for the use of his family,
leakage, waste, &c. This simple plan did not
content the Administration, and it proceeded to
multiply restraints and formalities, that are more
onerous than the tax itself. It was first decided
that no wine could be moved till it had paid for
a permit (tax on circulation). On the sight of
the receipts for this tax, the account of the
growers was to be credited ; by them the tax duo
was to be levied on the consumption, and ac-
counts were to be opened with the wholesale and
retail merchants, who might be discharged from
the obligation by fresh receipts, all which gave
rise to complicated accounts, or by the payment
of the tax.

h e immense number of inventories, certifi-
cates, receipts, passes, permits, &c. &c., which
this system gave rise to, is quite terrific. Neither
the increase of the rate of the tax in 1816 nor in
1817, neither the amount of the tax, nor the
tariff, caused half as much irritation as the mul-
tiplicity of forms and the rigour with which the
observance of them was compelled. They are
dreadfully irksome for all classes of society ex-
cept those who have no power to obtain any
drink except at pot-houses. The law of 1816
doubled the tax on licences, while the proprie-
tors were liberated from giving an account of
their crop ; and their own consumption, before
restrained to a certain number of hectolitres for
each family, was made arbitrary. The tax on
import (entree) was then laid on, the tax on
retail was doubled. The taxes called Octrui,
which are now of so much importance, received
a great extension in 1816 ; and from that time
France was covered with Custom-houses, which
must have been ruinous to its industry. The
favour granted to the proprietors, however, be-
came the source of their sufferings, and the cause
of their despair.

RELATION of the LAW to the PROPRIETORS.

The desire for landed property, and the taste
for cultivation, now so general, do not date fur-
ther back. than 1814. The cultivation of the
vine requires large advantes, and the profits ob-
tained when our victorious armies secured to us
extensive markets, occasioned, in 1814, and
continually since, a great extension of cultiva-
tion. The competition was increased prodi-
giously by the great increase in the number of
small proprietors, who wished to share in the
exemption granted by the law. The result was
a gradual diminution in the number of buyers.
The proprietor who formerly had the whole po-
pulation of his neighbourhood and of the town
for consumers, was then gradually redueed to
have no other consumers than the town's-
people. Here meeting ru exorbitant taxation,
which the excess of t.ho produce disabled him
from levying on the consumer, he wart forced to
sell at a depreciated price, and the depreciated
price continually falling in consequence of the
new plantations, reached its extreme point in
July, 18519, when brandy sold in the depart-
ment of La Charente Inferieure ikt 44 francs the
piece, and wine at five francs the itcciaitre—a
price not equal to thtt i4X and the expense of cul-
tivation. I,'ram this situation the law allowed
the wine grower no means of escape. By ex-
empting from the tax the constiopeen of pro.
prietors, the law encourgesl every body to be-
come a wine wower, and destroyed the market
fps the surplus of every grower beyond ktia own
consumption. To such a height has this arisen
that the proprietors of vineyaids about Bordeaux
were ready to trample the laws of the couory
under foo, and disperse by violence the ergs
charged to carry them into execuqop,..
The writer then deseribea at great length the
frauds also to wWch this exemption gave rise,
and Om serious contrivances fallen upon to pre.
vent it. The proprietors could not, however,
contend against the vices of the law. The
market was overstoehed, and the price ruinously
low. Their situation was desperate ; and they
required{ an exemption from taxes and forma-
lities t,o which they hail been unjustly subjected
by the IANY.
The consumers were exposed, Mier 1824, to
pay a sax on the circulation of wine at the rate
of 1 franc 15 centimes for all places, and the
retail duty was 50 per cent. on the price of the
wine, 'I he former tax falls on the opulent, the
latter falls only on the poor, who have no other
means to obtain wine but buying it at the ca-
baret. Tile poor had to pay both taxes ; and

So that upwards'of 14 francs may be paid on a
hectolitre of wine,'Which 'would be worth to its
)
maker, scarcebfllo. All the parts of Pranee,
except Paris, are subject to the same laws ; , but
at Paris all the duties are combined into one,
and levied on the wine being 'imported into the
town, at the rate of 10f. 50c. per hectolitre.
As this wine realizes for the makers about 10
francs, it costs more than twice its- value to
enter Paris. Under the more favourable cir-
cumstances, a hectolitre of wine, may sell Tor tbe
double, the treble, and evenl the qUintuple of

wine 'irid not grown, and 'Where,'„cOnherptently,
the price is greatly increased, and where the du-
ties are levied on the•price—the disadvantage
would have been greater. lint in consequence
of these regulations, the departments in which
wine is not grown, instead of being the markets
for the wine growers, are in a manner prohibited
to them by these excessive and injudicious taxes.
'1 he writer then condemns the trifling modifi-
cations in theSe duties proposed by Baron Lewis,
and proceeds to sketch out his views for 'no&
fying these duties. There are two modes, at.
cording to him, on which the wine may he
taxed ;. a certain sum, two francs per hectoline,
may be levied on all wine when made, ur 40
francs per hectare, may be levied on all the land
udder the cultivation of the vine. This lest
plan the author disapproves of, and proposes to
adopt the other. Already the • plan has been
tried with others, and the inventory ,or . the ex-
ciseman coming to estimate every insn's harvest,
has been highly disapproved of. He propose's
to get over the most unpleasant part of this, and
making the wine grower declare the amount of
his produce, leaving it in ,the power of the Ad-
ministration to examine, within eight days,
the correctness of his statement, and whether
the verification takes place or not within that
time afterwards, the proprietor is to be free for
the whole year. Tim writer then enters into the
exise regulation necessary to mei taint the quantity
of wine made, and prevent fraud. His system,
he says, will have. the advantage of putting art
end to permits and other formalities of that de-
scription, which plague the people ; it will put
an end to the inequality of the present system ;
it will substitute a moderate for all excessive
' tax, and the former will yield as much as the
latter ; it will subject the wino groweis•to some
reductions during the eight daps, but it will open
to them an unrestricted market. To secure thiS,
however, he seys the. octroi triusi.•be 'got rid of
or the different taxes lesiie4 on goods when they
are imported into towns. It appears ' from. a

francs, of which the oaroi of Paris alone yields
11,500,000. The author shows that the ociroi
may in part be supplied by the contribution
mobiliare; but he admits, as he is anxious to
provide for the wants of the Government, that
the octroi cannot be given up at once, though
he says no greater delay should be allowed than
is sufficient to enable the towns to provide the
sums required of them.
The.essay concludes by an examination of the
objections to the plan ; such as, first, that it
taxes the producer ; second, it taxes wine in-
tendol For exportation ; third, it Will be a burden
on the producer who wishes to keep his wine ;
fourth, it will rujn the distilleries in which wine
is used ; and filth, it will not secure the levying
the tax. The first objection ate gets rid of by
saying, that the present system is u tax on the
producer, and of the most onerous kilo]; and,
singularly enough, he supports his view by the
example of England as to the Beer Tax, which
its Ministers have just wisely abolished. The
second objection he answers, by saying there is
no reason why wine, intended to be exported,
should not pay the tax ; and that the home
trade is so much snore important than the foreign
trade, that tho latter is not to be thought of.
Beside the tax is so small, compared to the
value of the wines and brandies exported, that
it would have no influence on foreign trade.
The producer, who desires to keep his iyineor,
WeaitieS, by that, vespeculetor„•aud so the third
objection is disposed of, The fourth objection
is met by acknowledging the necessity to protect
the distilleries in' winch grain is used, or other
substances not subjected to any duty. The
author seems to think that declarations, with
power of examination, will be sufficient to guard
the Revenue against fraud.

GERMAN PAPERS RECEIVED THIS DAY,

iItUSSILS) OCT. 25.

Yesterday afternoon there was a pretty smart action
between the corps of M. Mellon and the Dutch troops on
the road between Liere and Malines. A strong column
of Dutch is still posted on this side of Antwerp; it seems
that the rest of the troops are embarking. M. -, com-
manding a corps of volunteers, was arrested this morning
and conveyed to Amigo. We this moment hear that M.
Favechampa, Captain of the volunteers of Charleroi, was

arrested yesterday evening, and lodged in the prison of the
Petits Cermet. We are not acquainted with the cause of
his being arrested. A private letter from Liege, received
this morning, says that the Dutch evacuated Alaestricht
the day before yesterday ; this news is not confirmed.

A Decree of the Provisional Government grants a fur-
they delay for the payment and protesting of bills of ex-
change.
The Provisional Government has issued a decree in
favour of the drama, by which every body is authorised
to erect 4 theatre, and to have pieces of all kinds per-
formed, giving previously notice of his intention to the
Municipal Government of the place. The representation
of a piece cannot be prohibited, but the author and actor
are responsible. Every dramatic composition (whether
the author be a Belgian or a foreigner) represented fur the
first time in a theatre of Belgium, cannot he performed in
any other public theatre in the whole extent of the Belgic
territory, without the consent of the author in writing, on
pain of the confiscation of the entire profit of the repre-
seutotions to his benefit. The author's heirs in the direct
line, or in default of them Ins wilt, retain his rights for
ten years after his decease.
The Provisional Government has abolished the high
police as being established far the interest of absolute
power. MI persons placed under the surveillance of the
high police are discharged from the obligations imposed
upon the►a in consequence, and their sureties are liberated.

LONDON,
SATURDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 30, 1830.

From the Second Edition of the Morning
Herald we learn that the attempts of the Consti-
tutionalists continue to be crowned with as much
success us could have been anticipated under the
circumstances. MINA is rapidly on the move, and
wherever he goes, is received, so says the "Rev°.
ltdion," with the most lively enthusiasm. Colonel
BAUM too has penetrated into Spain on a recon-
noitering mission, and has found every reason to be
satisfied with its results. With regard to
France, the Paris correspondent of our cotem-
porary hints that the affairs of Belgium begin
to cause some uneasiness to the French Mi-
nisters. The term " uneasiness " is equivocal, so
long however as it does not mean a desire of inter-
ference on the part of France, it is not of much
moment.

EXPEDITION INTO SPAIN UNDER COLONEL

BAIGES.

BAYONNE, OCT. 24.
This officer has performed, with complete success, the
reconnoitering mission which he bad been directed to make
by General Milano, and in conjunction with Figueroa.
The triple object
.of this operation was first to procure
some pecuniary assistance, to sound the state of public
opinion, and to ascertain the strength of the force kept up
in this quarter by the Count d'Eliana. The terror which
this person has spread through Catalonia, and the severity
of the orders issued to the authorities and others to absent
themselves at the approach of the Constitutionalists, have
prevented the promises of pecuniary aid from the interior
being carried into effect, and as bad been held out to the
Catalonian junta. With respect to the sentiments of the
inhabitants they exceed any thing that could be expected
in favour of Tibet ty. As soon as the Constitutional forces
shall have regularly penetrated into the country, and that
the inhabitants shell he protected against the fury of the.
Verres of Catalonia, they will range themselves in large
bodies under the liberating statularel.
Col, Deign has advanced six leagues into the interior of
the country, and has reconnoitered the enemy's corers,—
They amounted to 700 men. The.C►lonel, on this neon-
sinn, had with him no wire thin 100 foot soldiers and 10-
horsemen ; he, however, had trlke boldness to stop in front
Of the enemy, and having eyed them with sang froid, and
takers a military coup xlVit, he eclected, for the course of
his retreat, a iliiection In which he could judge of the na-
ture of the ground, and ensure bins an advantage over an
wyerny seven times superior in number to I►js force. In
point e fact he sustained, during his retreat, die enemy's
fire for Aria; hints, and regained the frontiers of France
without having t►+oeiethan noe man wounded. The Colonel
has established a deptst reviews upon the line of
demarkation.

PAMS, per. 27.

There is no nema, Lot some expectation of a stir from
the meditated changes in the Ministry. The 'Teal of
General Clausel from iris command in Africa has given
to much coni,e,ure, particularly as his vonduet since
he reaehed Algiers has been latoled by the Journals, and,
it is said, highly approved by Government. tie is a man
vtry :considerable talents, independently Of those he has
I)e.ofessionally dililayed in the north of Costno, and is

said, by persons who ought to be well informed, to be re-
called in order to give him a post in which his abilitie,
will be wore available for the public, service.
You will observe that the pension list is at length en-
tam6e. One of the extinctions—that of the pension
granted to Madame Peyrnnnet —would appear to be :tin.
necessarily precipitate. Perhaps the Keeper of the Seals
is cruel only to be kind. This act of severity towards his
nearest connections may beget some pity for the unfortu-
nate Ex-Minister.

'1 he prisoners at Vincennes remain as usual. The Com-
mission charged with the preparation for their trial is ac•
tively engaged, and have already made much progress in
their task. The transfer of the prisoners from Vincennes
to the Petit Luxembourg will take place on the 15th No-
vember, which indicates pretty nearly the period at which
the proceedings will commence. When they will termi:.
nate no one can pretend to way, fur the preliminary busi-
ness —the questions that will be raised on points of form
and law—will probably occupy a very long time. Among
the curious coincidences connected with this affair will be
that which you may have seen alluded to in some of the
Paris Journals, respecting M. Avocat, who is selected for
the command of the National Guards, who are to do duty
at the Luxembourg pending the trial. He is by trade a
tanner, is Lieut.-Colonel of one of the Legions of the
Garde Nationale of Paris, and has himself been twice
tried for high treason, and condemned to death—once by
the very Chamber of Peers the safety and preservation of
which will be committed to him on this most important
occasion.*

The affairs of Belgium begin, it is said, to cause some
uneasiness to the French Ministers. Happily for them,
the late elections have made little alteration in their posi-
tion in the Chamber, and few, if any, of what may be
termed Radicals have been returned, or you would have
found the question of non-interference loudly debated in
the Chamber of Deputies. The neutrality of France on
the Belgic question must be heart-rending to her Govern.
►rent, but matters must take their course. A pamphlet
has just appeared which has made some noise, in which
the writer discusses the propriety of an immedia'e adop,
tion of Belgium by France, and declares that no other
course can he pursued consistently with reference to her
safety or her honour.

louasc, HALF-PAST Foua.—The French- Funds euf-
feted today from the continued uncertainty respecting the
new formation of the Ministry. Odilion Bacot is, lam
positively assured, to have a seat in the Council, but whe-
ther as Minister of the Interior, or without a portfeuille,
is not yet determined. M. Bignon is to replace the Duo
de Broglie in the Ministry of Public Worship.
The Rentes Perpetuelle have improved, owing to the
unsettled nature of the news from Spain.
