UTRECHT, MARCH 30.—...11 Committee. of the
Council of State, consisting of M. M. VAN Layne:4,
VAN. WESTHABENDRECHT 'COYPUS, and FIE/#41.0.•
YEN, brliughr on the ,gth instant,: to the. LegiStatire
Body, the following Message, railing to the Fi-
nances, and ID the sitting of' yesterday the Project
of a Decree, proposed in the Message,, was adopted.
Vta KINQ TO THE LEGISLATIVX

•
" outri.zzaati., •
" We have charged a Committee of our Council
of State to present to you a Projed of a law relative
to the Finances of this year.
"At the commencement. of the present SessiOn
we expressed on our part a strong desire to adopt a
definitive and permanent system with res,ieCt to
the Finances, but since the esth of Nyvernber
aTairs hive not been ameliorated, and we :.;);awes
been under the indtspenstuic necessity oft pfo
visorily shutting our• ports. This. extrente,Land
painful measure ought to ensure to us coMpensa-,
tion, to which we hhve so much title, and affords au
irrefragable proof Of the sincerity and constancy of our
efforts in the common cause. Thus we must post-
pone all idea of a definitive and permanent system
until, a Marititne Peace, when alone it .will be pos-
sible to reduce our expenditure to the amount of our
revenue." '

,
It then goes on to state, that the expenditure for
1807 had been 78,00,000 florins, and the revenues
°lily 55,000,000, leaving a deficit of 23,000,000,
t.:;(l.liAive of previous arrears. To.meet these,.a loan
40,000,000 bad been negotiated, which prodliced
08;00100; the 15,000,000, after
.plovlding for
the deficit, was applied to the paytnent of, arrears,
The estimate of expenditure for 1808 is 74,000,000,
Whilet the revenue is riot estimated to produce more
than 50,000,000.

• It is said 'in this part of the Message,: « We can-
not dispense with . maintaining in a good stite . the
Equadrons of the Tow' and the Meuse; We an
nounce with pleasure to`the Legiiiative, Body,
.that
as the price of our. efforts; Franc ims expressly en-
gaged to procure the restoration of our colopies; and
particularly those of Guiana,"
To meet the deficit, of the present year a sort, of
forced assessment, is proposed, which was :atiok,ted
by the Legislative Body, by which those it
are to become creditors of the, State, to •the amount
required. This is resorted to instead of a loan.
VIENNA,. MARCH 14.—Letters from Trieste,.dated
the 7th, mention that the English Squadhni on that,
coast having received reiiitforcentents; had been cruiz-
ing for three days between Aquileiza and Trieste,
:Ind had come so close to the hitter port, that its
inree could be clearly seen. It consists of 1 i Ships,
five or six of winch appears to be of the line. Thp,
vind had not thenpertnitted them to attack the
.4%,
nossiati Ships of the Line and a Frigate, which'are
anchored in the road of Trieste, but it is feared that
.the goglish will make the attempt; in consequence.
of which the town will suffer greatly. The batte-..
ries of the port are, huwever, in a respetiable state
of defence.

111iLAN, MAitcti .—Mr. Armin, the late English
Ambassador at Vienna, arrived at Trieste on theath
inst. Two English Frigates were expeaecl in that
:Port, destined to convey to Malta thq Ambassador
and the other English in the Austrian States. An
taglish Zituadrou of ia Sail continued.to cruise in
the Adriatic, and prevented Vessels from'either go-
ing out or coming into Trieste. It was feared that
the English would seize the first favourable oppor-
tunity of attacking the five Russian Ships of the
Line and Frigates which were in tbat port.

We have received Dutch Papers to the fad inst.
the contents of which will be found in a preceding
column. It does not appear that the Russians have.
made any great progress in Finland, brit the prepa-
rations for invading Sweden from Finland are carried
on with great vigour. We were rather surprised to
find in these Papers, a Message from King Louts,
to the Dutch Legislature, in which he draws a
most deplorable piEture of the finances of the
Country. By way of consolation, however, he in-.
forms them, that BuoN ►pAlttE has promiied that, iu
the Peace to be negotiated, .with„England, he will
stipulate for the restoration of the Dutch Colonies,
particularly Guiana. RdollitiAßT'i has published a
curious Decree respeding.the Jews, which is by no
means flattering to their moral charmer, and which
we should think would not induce many of them
to place themselves under his protetstion.—We shall
give it to-morrow.

Lord GRRNIVILIA yesterday presented a Petition
to the HOU.SQ of Lords from the Catholics of Ireland,
praying. to be relieved from the disabilities under

recently after Parliament had decidpd upon the sub-

with an order for the Garrison Of Madrid to as-

at night the heareri of these orders went to all
the coffee-houses, and wherever they found Officers
or guards, direr ed them to join their corps, 'and
through the_ whole town the carriages and horses
were put into requisition. The. troops remained all'
day in their quarters, which noire of them:were on

day, and continued in deliberatien from ten-in the
morning until four in the afternoon, to answer the
two questions of the King, whether he should leave
the country! and :whether his people were dis-
turbed ; to :which. questions- the reply was, that he ,
ought not to leave the .cuiintry, or would they allow
him to dO so. • That the people were quiet and 10ved.,,.
him, as he might himself see, if he-would come to
'Madrid. This and the whole of the preceding day,
nothing but complaints, clamours, and .farewells,
were heard in Aranjuez, becaese
.the King en-
tertained the project of departing, until two in the al-
tamer), when a courier arrived from NAPOLSON,
as-
tiering him that he came with pacific inteptions. This
'intelligence was immediately promulgated, and the
lamentations were converted into shouts of joy, con-
gratelations, and embraces throughout all Aranjuez:
The Patriarch.returned, In full of joy,. exclaiming,

(Thursday), in the morning, the annexed ediet- was
posted, insended to undeceive and tranquillize the
people; but at the same time it was well known, that
the Adtnirel was neither apprebetaded nor disgraced
as hid been reported. On the contrary, .on the
Tuesday the Royal Feinily breakfasted at his house,
• and -on the. fulbvving day ,he was at the Palace,
which grieved every body, and the inhabitants of
Araniuez continued much disturbed. Last night

Geards observed it,

of the Gt6rds assembled, and a throng of the people
endeavoured to force their way through the Admiral's
hussars Who surrounded his hOuse. Some of the ,
Life Guards were killed, and Doti Mew GODOY (the
Admiral's brother), who was at the bead cif his re-
gitnent of Spanish Guards, ordered them to tire, but
none obeyed. He repealed the order, when the
people, and even his Own soldiers, fell on hint,
fired at him, beat him, and tied his hands and feet.
