NAVAL INTELLIGENCE,

PORTSMOUTH, MARCH 27.—8 y his Majesty's
ship Spartiate, 76, Captain F. Warren, which ar-
rived on Wednesday, we have letters from Malta to
the 16th of February; by the Pelican, 18, Com-
mander Hutcheson, which arrived yesterday, letters
to the 2d of March are received ; and in addition,
others, which have come to hand, overland, are of
as late a date as the 15th instant. The substance
of the information gained from these is an assurance
that our squadron and garrisons are all in good
health; that the greatest part of our squadron would
return to England, as soon as the Bussiens quitted
the Mediterranean; this the latter were evidently
reluctant to do. Admiral Ricord thought he could
riot with safety venture till the end of April; the
arrival, however, at Malta, of Sir Pulteney Mal-
colm in the Asia, seems to have hastened his de-
parture, for we find that he, with Admiral Lazaroff,
and another flag officer, quitted Malta on the 11th
of March, for Spithead, with the Azoff, Ezekiel,
Grand Duke Michael, and two other ships of the
line, the Constantine, and three other frigates, and
two or three corvettes. They may, therefore, be
expected in England in about a fortnight. They
will remain at Spithead until May, it not being-con-
eidered eligible to proceed up the Gulf of Bothnia
anti' the end of June. Notwithstanding the removal
of this Russian force from the Mediterranean, Ad-
miral Count Heyden, with three sail of the line and
some smaller ships,.will continue there, under a plea
that, the settlement of the Greek question requires
the show of such.* force—the consequence is, that
the English squadron cannot be reduced to the
peace establishment of 1828. The Melville, Wind.
sor Castle, Wellesley, Gloucester, Revenge, and
Britannia, of the line, will remain on the station for
the present; the Asia, of 81 guns, Ocean, of 80
guns, Isis, .50, with the Meteor, iEtna, and Erebus
bombs, are ordered home to be paid off, and are,
we presume, non, on their passage, as the orders
left,Loedon on the 26th of February.—Our corres-
pondent states that the Greek question had done
wonders towards the improvement of the Russian
navy, who now affect to state that their trade will
,always.require.the protection of some of their men
of war. ,This question, he states, seems to occupy
very little of the thoughts even of the Greeks them-
selves ; though the islanders, from being now quite
separated from the Turkish Government, fear—
being situated between Rumelia and Cuha—they
are placed between two fires; for the Turks will
always keep up a strong force at the latter island,
where formerly they maintained no force whatever.
They contend that Candia ought to have followed
the fate of the rest of the Archipelago.
Of the French expedition to Algiers little seems
to be known, excepting that great preparations
were making on the one hand for attack, and on
the other for defence. The Dey, it was under-
stood, was confident he should be able to resist any
force that could be brought against him, and had
the promise of great support on the score of re-
ligious hatred against the Christians. He was will-
ing to concede almost every point the French de-
manded, but repelled the manner in which he was
called on to do so : it being reported that he was
required to go on board the French Admiral's ship,
and personally apologize to him as the representa-
tive of the King of France ; and that while in this
act all his forts were to strike the Algerine flag and
hoist the French standard, and salute it with one
hundred guns. The ships left at Malta are the
Asia, 84 (flag ship), Ocean, Revenge, Britannia,
Wellesley, Isis, Madagascar, Pelorus; Wasp, or-
dered to Smyrna; Meteor, ordered to Gibraltar ;
Infernal to remain out assisting as a surveying-
vessel, but to take Lord Yarmouth to Naples ; Rattle-
snake just returned from Tripoli ; Procris had gone
to Marseilles. The Windsor Castle, Wellesley,
Gloucester, Melville, Semarang, and rebus, are in
the Archipelago ; the Favourite at Alexandria; the
/Etna, Weasle, Musquito, and Rifleman at Corfu.—
The Spartiate brings home as passengers the Hon.
Major Keppel, who was at Constantinople when the
Russian army advanced to Adrianople, and who
offered' to pay his respects to General Diebitsch;
the Russian, however, suspecting his visit to be a
political one, declined the honour. Capt. Saumarcz,
and Lieut.Frampton, of the Rifles, with Mr. Domett,
are also passengers.
The Madagascar frigate, Captain the Hon. R.
Spencer, arriv%l at Malta, on the Bth to repair the
damages she had sustained by being struck with
lightning. The Pelorus sloop-of-war arrived at
the same place on the 12th, also to repair damages
incurred by getting on shore at the entrance of Port
Mahon Harbour.

The Southworth transport, Lieutenant John
Sanders, Agent, arrived on Sunday from Valparaiso
and Rio de Janeiro, with invalids and old stores
from the South American squadron, arida mail from
Rio. She left Valparaiso the 19th November, and
Rio the 20th January. His Majesty's ship Thetis,
Captain Bingham, arrived at Valparaiso on the
13th November, to relieve the Forte, which
ship sailed two days afterwards for Coquimbo,
Arica, and Callao, to collect freight, and was to sail
for England, via Rio, about the end of February
The Alert sloop-of-war was at Callao the Ist of
October, and the Sapphire was gone to San Bias
and Panama, for silver. The Tribune, Captain
Duntze, sailed from Rio the 17th January, for
Monte Video and Valparaiso. The Algerine, 10,
Commander Talbot, arrived at Rio the 14th of
January, from Si. Catharine's. The whole of the
Royal Flanily of Brazils had recovered the effects
of their late accident, to commemorate which

LONDON,
MONDAY EVENING, MARCH 29, ISSO.

The following from our Paris Correspondent,
with extracts from the Paris Papers of Saturday
and Sunday, will show the state of affairs among
our neighbours:—

" PARIS, Ileum 27.
" For some days past the Ministerial journalists hare
evidently been endeavouring to prepare the public mind
for a change, more or less important, in the French Cabi-
net. These indications have of course given rise to ru-
mours in every possible variety of form and colour, most
of which agree in the conclusion that the Prince de Po-
lignac will remain at the helm of affairs, and that M. de
Peyronnet will form part of the new Administration. , It
may also be held as definitively arranged, that AL de Boor-
moat assumes in person the supreme command of the Al-
gerine expedition, without, however, vacating for the pre-
sent at least his notrCnal controul over the War Depart-
ment. This, I think, may at once be inferred, inderen-
dently of private sources of information, from two ordon-
nances which appear in this morning's Moniteur, one of
which declares that an Under Secretary of State shall be
attached to the office of the Secretary of State for the War
Department, who shall be charged with the personnel of
such parts of the service as may be delegated to him by the
Minister. The other ordonuance appoints Major-General
de Champagny, Aide-de-Camp to his Royal Highness the
Dauphin, to the office thus created. Both ordonnances
are countersigned by M. de Bourmont. I have been so
closelyoccupied all the morning with my endeavours to ascer-
tain the other projected changes, that I find I have left
myself too little time, before the departure of the post, to
tell you the result of my inquiries. The reports in circu-
lation are indeed so numerous and so contradictory, that I
judge it more advisable to withhold them for the present,
on the sup.eosition that another day will either give them
more consistency, or produce some official announcement
on the subject.
The following article from the Quotidienne of this
morning, between whom and the Gazette there has lately
been a good deal of rather ludicrous coquetry, appears to
be not unworthy your attention :
." It is believed that before the lapse of many days the
" Ministerial system will develope itself by the appoint-
" moot of mw Administrators. This movement is ex-
" pected by the Royalists as a necessary result of Parlia-
" reentary events. France, it is hoped, will be perfectly
" aware that fidelity to the King is a necessary
" condition for participating in the superintendence of
" the affairs of the State. From the known loyalty of
" the Ministers, we expect that this system will he
" largely followed ; that is to say, that seeking for fidelity
" to the King, they will not be satisfied with personal
" ' submission to themselves. Self denial is the duty of a
" Royalist Ministry. In France, the land of honour,
" we must henceforth have Royalism, and not mere
" Ministerialism. With such a system we foretell that
" six mouths hence there will no longer be any oppo-
" sition but that of pure jacobinistn.' "
(From the Moniteur.)
The Official part contains two Royal Ordinances, dated
March 25 :
I. Decrees that an Under-Secretary of State shall be
attached to the Minister-at-War, who shall be charged
with all the parts of the service assigned to him by that
Minister.
11. Appoints the Sieur de Nompere, Viscount de Cham-
pagny, Major-General and Aid-de-Camp to the Dauphin,
to be Under-Secretary of State in the War Department.
FRONTIERS OF SERFIA, FEB. B.—Conformably to the
clauses of several treaties of peace, and especially of that of
Adrianople of the 14th September, 1529, Prince Milosch
having received a Hatti Scheriff of the Sultan concerning
the right of the Servian nation, communicated it to the
Turkish authorities. The latter made it known to the
Turks, and had several copies taken, after which it was re-
turned to the Prince. The latter then convoked a Na-
tional Assembly, an event the more remarkable, as this
watt the first time that the Deputies appeared with the
powers legally given by their constituents. A Magistrate
of each Court of Justice, and the principal Ecclesiastics
also made part of this assembly which met on the
4th of February at Cragonievats, the residence of
the Prince. On the 4th and sth the full powers of
the Deputies were verified in the Supreme Court of
Justice by a Commission expressly appointed. The num-
ber of the Representatives was 700. On the 7th Milosch
appeared in the assembly, showed the Sultan's firman,
and caused it to be read in the Servian language,
He then developed, in a speech, all the rights which this
act conferred on the Servian nation—such as the most
complete religious liberty, the choice of its Chiefs, and the
independence of its internal administration. Thus it was
delivered, for the future, from the oppressions and the ex-
tortions of the Turks. He said that Servia was at length
going to be inhabited by freemen, and represented the
necessity of a code of lawe, adding that for these two years
he had been engaged in having one drawn up according to
the French code, with such modifications as the usages of
Servia required. After having announced that hence-
forward the country would have to pay only a single
tribute to the Sublime Porte, and would enjoy full security
of persons and property, he congratulated his countrymen
on having, at length, attained the rights and franchisee
which had long been the object of their wishes. Lastly, he
spoke of his constant efforts to secure the happiness of his
country, and proposed to appoint somebody in his room.
Here he was interrupted by the unanimous cries of the
Assembly, which proclaimed him the saviour of the country.
He was then conducted back to his palace amidst the ac-
clamations of the multitude.
The Members having afterwards met in the Hall of the
Supreme Court of Justice, the Committee drew up three
acts, which were signed and sealed by all the persons pre-
sent. Prince Milosch Obrenovitz is solemnly styled, in
the name of the nation, the Father of the Country. He is
acknowledged Sovereign Prince of Servia. His legitimate
heirs are to succeed hint. The nation shall again take to
him the oath of fidelity. The second document notes
thanks to the Sultan, and begs him to confirm the choice
of the Servian nation. The third contains an address of
thanks to the Magnanimous Sovereign, the Protector of
Servia. On the 9th the oath was taken to the Prince in
he church, and re Deum was performed.
Pears, Merton 26.—The Ilioniteur quotes from the
National of the 25th a paragraph, stating that when the
Chambers were prorogued, ball-cartridges were given to
the 2d Regiment of the Guard ; and another paragraph,
which says that the Ministry thinks it cannot depend upon
the Royal Guard of Paris, the infantry of which is com-
posed of six French and two Swiss regiments. Hitherto
Swiss regiment,

" All these assertions," says the 21forritsur, " are false ;

this is our only answer to all dies.: calumnies, justice
shall be done them ; this example, which might be daily
repeated, will suffice for France to judge of the veracity
and good faith•of the papers, which have declared war
against it by making war upon its Government.",
(From the Messager des Chambres.)

Pants, MAacir 27.—Among the thousand reports
which are put in circulation, there is one, however, which
begins to gain some credit. It is said that a plan is se-
riously in contemplation by which the Deputies, the Coun-
sellors of State, and the Prefects of the Hundred Days, as
well as the individuals who are comprehended in the laws
of the 24th of July, 1515, and of the 17th January, 1816,
shall be declared incapable of sitting in the Elective
Chambers.
The National received on Friday evening a summons to
appear on Friday, April 2, before the 6th Chamber of
Correctional Police, as accused of having committed the
crime of exciting hatred against the Government of the
King by publishing in its number of the 25th instant an
article beginning by these words—" We can guarantee
the correctness of the following facts, 6-c.," an article,
which imputes to the King's Government false facts, cal-
culated to excite the hatred of the citizens.
An express from Madrid, of 18th March, brings us the
news that the King of Spain has given orders to all the
authorities on the frontiers of the Kingdom to arrest
General I3arradas, who commanded the late expedition to
Mexico, but who is at this moment in Paris.
" TO THE EDITOR OF THE SIESSAGER DES C/lAMIIRES.
PARIS, MARCH 27.
" Sir,—l shall beg you to insert in one of your next
numbers the following letter, which I have just addressed
to the Gazette de France and the Quotidienne.
(Signed) " F. AGIER."
"TO THE EDITOR OF THE GAZETTE DE FRANCE.
PARIS, MARCH 27.
"Sir,—You announce in your Journal to-day that I have
lost the census (tens) of eligibility. I give a formal con-
tradiction to this assertion, and I require you, by virtue
of the law, to insert my letter in your next number.
(Signed) " F. AGIER,,
" Deputy of the Two Sevres, and Couniellor
in the Royal Tribunal of Paris."
To the formal contradiction which we have just copied,
we can add, that we know very well that the division of
an estate, of which the Gazette speaks, has not taken
place, and M. Agier even pays at this moment 400 or 500
francs in taxes more than at the time of his last re-election.
(From the National.)

PARIS, Maitcll 26.—We have received from a high
quarter the following document, which appears to us to, be
of high importance. It comes to us from England, and
we believe we may warrant its authenticity :
"It is certain that the Master of the Rolls, Sir John
Leach, (this officer is, by his functions, the person in
England who is the best acquainted with Parliamentary
jurisprudence) has been ordered by the Government, in
consequence of a question addressed by the French Minis-
try, to search in the records of Parliament for the cases
in which it has refused the supplies, and what the King
did inconsequence of this refusal. Sir John Leach an-

swered that ;Lich a case has not occurred since the reign of
William, all the Kings of England having yielded to the
opinion of the Parliament in time to prevent such a ca-
lamity.
(The National prints the whole of this article in capi-
tals.)
(The French papers give, at considerable length, the
commencement of the proceedings against the Globe,
which are to be continued on Wednesday.)
" Letters from► Toulon state, that ' a report is current of
the Cirej frigate having entered Algiers with a flag of
truce. It was mentioned some time since that a vessel,
with a diplomatic agent on board, had left, Toulon, in
order to convey to the Dey of Algiers the ultimatum of
France. This explains the entrance of the Circc" into the
port of Algiers, if the report be true. What is certain,
however, is, that great activity prevails on the coasts of
Barbary and in the vicinity of Algiers. The Bedouins are
moving in all directions, and it is said that every rock on
the coast is mounted with a battery. The noted pirate
Bavares, who has been for some time at Toulon, is to go
back with the expedition. He has promised to bring the
Dey into the French camp, if a company of determined
men be given him. He is acquainted with all the sub-
terranean issues of the citadel, where the Dey has fixed his
residence.'

" The Courier de Bayonne contains the following in-
telligence of the 10th instant from Lisbon :.—'l)ublic
spirit is here repressed, but not extinguished, of which a
new instance has just occurred. The Corporation of
Traders have for a long period enjoyed the privilege of
nominating twenty-four deputies to represent their body
at the Sanado or Municipality, who also elect one of their
number to be Judge of the People; and this Judge has
the right of admittance at all times to the King, and to
command all the doors of the Palace to open to him by a
single blow of his staff. These deputies and their chief,
(I,e Juiz de Foro) having presented themselves at Queluz
without wearing the medal with Don Miguel's effigy,
were sent away under various pretences, were deemed
Malhados, and their election annulled by the absolute com-
mand of the Prince, who, by an express mandate, enjoined
the Corporations to meet again, and proceed to a new
election, the first having been obtained by undue and re-
prehensible fraud. The same ordinance appointed as Pre-
-silent of the election a magistrate well known for his
violent principles, and upon whom the Court relied for
influencing a choice more favourable to its views. The
Corporations, consisting of between 7,000 and 8,000
persons, were then re-assembled ; and in opposition to all
the efforts of the President, they re-elected the same
twenty-four deputies, who, i n their turn, nominated the
same person for Judge of the People as had met with an
affront at Queluz, and incurred the displeasure of the
Prince, it cannot be denied that, in this instance, the
artisans have displayed firmness and courage.'
" The African expedition will sail from Toulon on the
sth of May, if reliance may be placed on a report which
appears to be well founded. Success is anticipated ; and
to attain this end millions will be unsparingly expended :
these disbursements take place, it is true, without grants
being made by the Legislature; but the Chambers are
prorogued, and success will justify the undertaking.
Amidst this infatuation a general voice is beard : a
Deputy, who is ever found in the breach, M. de Laborde,
has addressed to the King and the Chambers an energetic
protest against this violation of the laws of the land. It
is desirable that all our Deputies should employ with equal
utility the leisure forced upon them by the tears of the
Ministry. Subjects for the exercise of their talents are
by no means wanting.
" We hear that the regiments destined for the African
expedition are to be at Toulon by the 28th of April, at
latest.

"It is said that the Swiss regiment Bleuler has refused
to go to Algiers, claiming the execution of the capitula-
tion, which leaves them the choice of going out on service
or not when France is at war. A French regiment has
been appointed in its stead.
" Colonel Hababi, who commanded the Mamelukes of
the Imperial Guards, is sail to be charged by the Minister
of War to engage 40 dragomans for the African expe-
dition. These dragomans are to he chosen from among the
officers, sub-officers, and privates of the corps of Mame-
lukes, who escaped the fire of the enemy during the wars
of the empire.
" The principal agent of a commercial house, that has
contracted to furnish part of the supplies for the African
expedition, set off yesterday morning for Catalonia, com-
missioned to collect in the Bay of Palma, by the 15th of
May, or the Ist of June at latest, 6,000,0001bs of straw,
to be immediately transported to the coast of Africa.
" The following intelligence from Marseilles is of the
20th instant :—' The preparations for the expedition are
proceeding with great activity. Every thing is ordered to
be in readiness by the end of next month. We are as-
cured that the heads of each department, except that which
furnishes the ammunition, have declared that this will be
accomplished. The number of transports engaged is,
however, as yet incomplete, though they already amount
to 300 sail. It is said that 40,000 tons more will be re-
quired. This must leave an immense void in the trading
service on the roast, and to the colonies of the
Levant. The Sardinian ship-owners however, have
at length obtained permission from their Sovereign
to engage their vessels in the expedition. An agent
of M. Seilliere, the contractor, is at Marseilles, and
has made large purchases of corn and flour, salt
meat, cask-staves, &c.' Letters of the 19th instant,
from Toulon, say---' A flat-bottomed boat has just been
launched, and fifty more are in the yards, built upon time
same plan, and will be ready to go off the stocks by the
Ist of April. Several officers of rank have gone to Mar-
seilles, to complete the taking up of transports, and hasten
all the other preparation. Three hundred iron bedsteads
have arrived here, intended for the use of the hospitals.'
From Rochefort we learn, that the schooner Isis, the fine
steam-boat Sphynx, and the Rapid, another steam-boat,
have taken their departure from that port for Toulon, and
that all the crews of ships of the line, and officers in a state
for service, have gone to Brest. The brig Assa, was to
be launched on the 24th. A great quantity of ammuni-
tion and stores have been sent off from Rochefort.
" The Tuscan ship Caroline, and the Sardinian vessel
called the Virgin of Montenero, which were captured last
year by the French squadron off Algiers for attempting to

- ~

violate the blockade, have Loth been condemned by the
Council of State, as good and lawful prizes, with their
cargoes, which consisted of marble, timber, deals, iron,
piece-goods, coffee, sugar, indigo, and other merchandize.
(From the Journal du Commerce.)

" Will M. de Villele enter the Ministry? This is a
question which is only calculated to create discord in the
camp of the Royalists, and to dissolve the alliance formed
with so much difficulty between the Royalists of the
Gazette and those of the Quotidienne. Dissension has
already risen. The Quotidienne does not positively reject
M. de Villele, but wishes that be should be admitted only
in a subordinate post. It is of importance that the
system, as it is, should be preserved, that its character
should oat be changed, and that M. de Polignac should
continue its living representative.' Thus they do not
despise the administrative ability of M. de a man
of talents, who is never at a loss at the Tribune, who
knows how to extricate himself from a perplexing position,
and how to correct the injustice of a ballot. His industry
would be usefully employed in the service of M. de Po-
lipmac, by drawing the Ministerial chariot out of the mire.
But will he consent to do it? Let us be just to every one
—thel'e are more brains in the head of M. de Villele than
in those of the whole Council, or even of the whole party
of which this Council is the spirit end quintessence."

dictment is very long, end concludes with the following re-
capitulation :
" In consequence of all the preceding circumstances, the
said De Potter, &e. ;re accused, viz., the first three, Pot-
ter, Tulntans, and Bartels, of haring, by means of print-
ingorriting, particularly in the Courier des Pays Bas of the
Ist and 3d of February, the Beige of 31st January, and
4th, 6th, and 7th February, 1830, directly excited the
inhabitants to form a plot tending to change or destroy the
form of Government of the Netherlands, which plot was
t 4 consist in the establishment and carrying into effect of a
Confederation or Association of the nature of that pro-
posed by the said accused in the above-mentioned Journals,
and of having committed this act as authors or accomplices,
having in the latter capacity given orders to commit it, or
in having knowingly aided and abetted the author or au-
thors of the act, and the proceedings which served to pre-
pare or facilitate it, or in those which consummated it;
and the last three accomplices in the above act, or the acts
which tended to facilitate or which completed it, particu-

ON THE EMANCIPATION OF THE JEWS.

UPPER RHINE, MARCH 13.

The increasing inquiry with which the continued ex-
clusion of the Jews from civil rights has affected their
christian fellow citizens, seconded by the philanthropic
opinions of the last half of the 18th century, have at length
made the improvement of their civil condition or their
conversion to Christianity, an object of general interest in
modern times Among the most recent Legislative Acts
on this subject is an Ukase of the Emperor Nicholas, which
permits all Israelites, who embrace the doctrines of any
Christian- community, to get themselves admitted as citi-
zens in any town which they may themselves choose, even
though the latter should refuse to consent. In the villages
such consent is necessary, in order that the inhabitants
may not be injured in their agricultural pursuits.
In 1817 an Imperial Ukase had promised other impor-
tant advantages to Jews who embraced Christianity. In
Germany, a proposal made by the Government to the last
Assembly of the States of Wurtemburg met with much
opposition, even from the decided Liberals, and was not
pascal into a law till it had undergone great modifications.
In Mecklenburg Schwerin the Government and the
estates could not come to any agreement on the subject,
because the latter wished to retain more instructions than
the Government desired.

In the Prussian States important rights were granted
to the Jews so far back as 1811, but this appears to have
proved in some instances injurious to the Christian
population, since the declaration of all the provincial
assemblies on the civil condition of the Jews have been re-
ceived. A general law on the subject has been taken into
consideration.
It is well known that in Great Britain societies have
long existed, partly for the conversion, partly for the
emancipation of the Jews, and the latter point has been
lately brought before Parliament, where in all probability
it will not be speedily decided. In opposition to these en-
deavours to improve the civil condition of the Jews, we
find in every Swedish Diet (also in that now sitting) the
proposal to expel the Jews from the kingdom has been al-
ways repeated but rejected by the Estates. All the va-
rious measures hitherto brought forward have failed of the
wished-for success, and yet the 'Governments should feel
themselves called upon, in one point of view in particular,
to adopt energetic measures. Depending on the conver-
sion of some Jews to Christianity, it has been the custom
to consider the number of Jews as stationary at from two
and a half to three millions. This opinion seems to be com-
pletely refuted by recent statistical information. In the Prus-
sian States the Jewish population in nine years (18x20-
1829) bad increased in comparison with the Christian po-
pulation nearly in the ratio of four to three. The number of
births among the Jews is, indeed, proportionably small,
but the deaths among the Christians were so much the
more numerous. In Warsaw, also, far greater mortality
has been observed among the Christians than among the
Jews. The reasons of this fact are partly the greater
temperance of the latter in the use of spirituous liquors,
and their care of seeking medical assistance, hut chiefly the
circumstance that they are seldom engaged iu dangerous
or even laborious occupations, which is particularly favour-
able to the Jewesses in their pregnancy, who lose much fewer
children at their birth and in infancy than Christian mo-
thers. But what is to the advantage of the Jews in this
point, must be in the same degree disadvantageous to the
Christians. Here we have' another example how injustice

recoils on those who are guilty of it, and this is an addi-
tional reason for every Government, for the interest of its
Christian subjects, to repair this wrong, and to make com-
plete equality of the Jews the end of its legislative mea-
sures, though it may be advisable to approach it only
gradually but withaut interruption.

The speech of Mr. POULETT THOMSON, in
favour of a revision of the present mode of taxa-
tion, is one of the most remarkable that have for
some time been delivered within the walls of
Parliament. It comprises a multitude of facts,
which place in the clearest point of view the
necessity of a thorough financial reform, and
illustrate the manner in which an ill-regulated,
and often oppressive, system of taxation has
hitherto weakened the national resources, and
checked the progress of our productive industry.
Had the Finance Committee been allowed to

continue its labours, these matters might have

been fully investigated, but, inasmuch as their
sittings were prematurely brought to a conclu-
sion, Mr. THOMSON has done the country
good service, by bringing under the notice of the
House and the public considerations of so
great importance, which the Committee had not
time to enquire and report upon.
Mr. Thomsoil proposes to equalize the
Duties on Timber,—to reduce those on
Soap from 130 to 60 or 70 per cent., and to

abolish those on Hemp, Barilla, Coals,

Glass, Paper, and Printed Calicoes. These
latter taxes are not sufficiently productive in
themselves to be any very great object, the Re-
venue regulations concerning them are extremely
vexatious, and the expense of collecting them is
so great that if their net produce of 2,626,0001.
were remitted, the public would be benefitted to
the extent of 3,556,0001. All these articles are of
primary necessity, and if the duties on them can-
not be collected at less than 28 or 29 per cent.,
there appears very forcible reasons for an alter-
ation. The business of a financier is to endea-
vour to raise a revenue in the least burthensome
manner, and at the smallest cost, both which
objects are directly contravened in these, among
very many other, instances.

It was a maxim of Dean SWIFT that, in the
arithmetic of the Exchequer, two and two do
not always make four. Mr. VANSITTART was,
however, unable to understand this remark, and
accordingly the Government, down to the time
when Mr. ROBINSON became Chancellor of the
Exchequer, acted on the principle that it was
only necessary to raise the scale of duties to
make money flow into the Treasury. Hence the
necessity arose of establishing the coast blockade
and Preventive Service—of incurring an enor-
mous expellee in the protection of the Revenue
—of resorting to laws against smuggling which,
to say the least, are encroachments upon the
liberty of the subject—and of making the coast
of England the scene of constant civil warfare,
and not unfrequently of murder. Consumption
has, however, fallen off, as might have been
expected, except in regard to some articles, the
duties on which have of late years been mitigated.
Two instances referred to by Mr. THomsosr are
alone sufficient to show the fallacy of high duties;
the one, that a century ago 14,000 hogsheads
of French wine were consumed in this country,
while the present consumption does not exceed
1,400 hogsheads—and the other, that the in-
crease of taxation in Ireland, between 1807 and
1821, had actually diminished the Revenue at the
latter period by 530,0001. ! Can it be believed
that the Revenue gains by the present enormous
duties on tobacco, foreign spirits, tea, wine, and j
sugar, and that it would not be a most beneficial
measure both to the Government and the public to
reduce the tax on tobacco to ls. a pound—on
foreign spirits to 10s. a gallon (which, even
then, would be three times what the smuggler
buys them for) —on tea to ten per cent.—on
wines of all kinds to 3s. a gallon—and on sugar
to 20s. per cwt. ? These are all articles which
the physical comforts of the people stand in need
of, and if they cannot afford to pay the duty they
will smugglers, where an opportunity
offe employ
rs.Atall events, if the happiness of num-
bers goes for any thing, it is interfered with to an
unjustifiable extent by the present system.
The taxation of Newspapers is a subject on
which Journalists may be supposed to speak
selfishly ; but when it is considered how power-
ful an instrument the Newspaper Press is for the
advancement of the intellectual improvement of
the people, and how convenient a vehicle it must
always be to commercial and social intercourse,
by means of advertisements, there are other
motives very different from the interests of Pro-
prietors of Journals, which should induce the
Government to remove the obstacles which now
check their circulation. The number of Papers in
the United States is, with reference to the popula-
tion, greater than in Great Britain by 5 to 1 ;and the
advertisements annually inserted in the United
States are ten millions, while, with us, they do
not amount to one million. This fact alone
speaks volumes for the wants of this country,
whose transactions, and consequent need of ad-
vertisements, are so much more extensive than
in America. The number of Newspapers circu-
lated in London is less for the population than
in Paris, Brussels, Stockholm, St. Petersburgh,
Geneva, Berlin, Leipsic, Weimar, and many
other cities in Europe. Throughout Britain
they are less numerous, not only in the United
States, but than in the Netherlands, Prussia,
and most parts of Germany. The circumstance
of there not being a Daily Paper published in
any other town than London and Dublin—not
even in Edinburgh—shows how great the multi-
plication of Journals would probably be if they
could he rendered less costly. We know of no
measure that would be attended with so imme-
diate benefit to the Revenue as the reduction of
the Newspaper Stamp to one penny, accompanied
by a repeal of the Advertisement Duty, as sug-
gested by Mr. THomsoist, and most ably,
enforced by the enlightened arguments of the
Editor of the Scotsman, whose admirable letter
to the CHANCELLOR of the ExcirEQuEn we
published in The Sun of yesterday.
The remarks of Lord ALTHORP appear ex-
tremely just. " Let relief," says his Lordship,
" first be granted to the productive classes, and

" then, if there be. a defcie►►cy, impose: a Pro'
" perty Tax." This the landed interest, in ge'
neral, object to, but we would ask a landed pre'
prietor whether his greatest burthen does not et
present arise from the distresses of the hibourieg
classes, and the increase of pauperism arising
from the dearness of articles of stibsistence is
comparison with labour ? To invigorate i►►'
dustry, and substantially improve the condition
of the workman, would be an object for which
a Property Tax of 10 per cent. would be most
profitably paid. Such a tax is, however; only
last resource ; the adoption of Mr. TuomsoN's:
proposal for a Committee would, by no means,.
have made its imposition a necessary conse
quence, and, in fact, Lord PALMERSTON and
others, who voted for the Committee, expressetl
themselves hostile to a Property Tax altogether'

The intelligence from the French ports th►s
morning continues to speak of the great activitl
prevailing there to fit out the expedition against
Algiers. It would be ready for sea by the end
of next month. The demand for vessels, ail
transports, had undergone a very considerable
advance, so ruinous indeed, that the merchants
had refrained from shipping in consequence,
This was particularly the case with oils, the ma'
nuf►cture of which had been suspended. The
Sardinian vessels had, by permission of the King
of SARDINIA, been allowed to charter themselves
as transports to the French Government.
By accounts from Lisbon we learn that the
troops in garrison there were increased, and that
the forts on the Tagus had been strengthened.

A King's messenger arrived at the Foreign
Office, late last night, with despatches from Sir
ROBERT GORDON, our Ambassador at Con'
stantinople. The messenger was also the bearer
of despatches from Lord CowLEY, at Vienne'
Despatches from Lord STUART DE RoTnsAY,
at Paris, and Sir CHARLES BAGOT, at the
Hague, have also been received at the Foreign
Office this morning.
