" GENTLEMEN OF THE HOUSE OF COMMONS,

" His MAJESTY has directed the Estimates for the
current year to be laid before you. They have
been framed with every attention to economy,
and it will be satisfactory to you to learn
that his MAJESTY will be enabled to nr.ake a con-
siderable Reduction in the amount of the Public
Expenditure, without impairing the efficiency of our
Naval or Military Establishments.
" We are commanded by his MAJESTY to inform
you, that although the National Income, during
the last year has not attained the full amount at which
it had been estimated, the diminution is not
such as to cause any doubt as to the future pre-
sperity of the Revenue.
" MY LORDS AND GENTLEMEN,

" His MAJESTY commands us to acquaint you that
his attention has been of late earnestly directed to
various important considerations connected with im-
provements in the administration of the law.

"his MAJESTY has directed that measures shall
be submitted for your deliberation, of which some are
calculated in the opinion of I-Its MAJESTY to facilitate
and expedite the course of Justicein different pai is of
the United-,Kingdom, and others appear to be neces-
sary preliminaries to a revision of the practice and
proceedings of the superior Courts.

" We are commanded to assure you that His MA-
JESTY feels confident that you will give your best
attention and assistance to subjects of such deep
and lasting concern to the well-being of his people.
ft His MAJESTY commands us to inform you

that the Export in the last year of British Produce
and Manufactures. has exceeded that of any former

year.

" His MAJESTY laments, that notwithstanding
this indication of active commerce, distress should
prevail among the Agricultural and Manufacturing
classes in some parts of the United Kingdom.
" It would be most gratifying to the paternal
feelings of his MAJESTY to be enabled to
propose for your consideration, measures calculated
to remove the difficulties of any pottion of his
Subjects, and at the same time compatible with
the general and permanent interests of his people.
" It is from a deep solicitude for those interests
that his MAJESTY is impressed with the ne-
cessity of acting with extreme eaution in reference
to this important subject.
His MAJESTY feels assured, that you will con-
cur with him in assigning due weight to
the effect of unfavourable seasons, and to the opera-
tion of other causes, which are beyond the reach of
Legislative control or remedy.
" Above all, his MAJESTY is convinced that no
pressure of temporary difficulty will induce you to
relax the determination which you have uni-
formly - manifested, to maintain inviolate the
Public Credit, end thus to uphold the high Charac-
ter, and the permanent Welfare of the Country."

German Papers have been received this morn-
ug. The following are extracts :

ST. PETERSBURGH, JAN. 20.

Ourjonrnd contains the following paragraph :

" The latest accounts from Constantinople corn •
tnunicate a fact, which proves how much the
Turkish Government endeavours to shew its desire
to change its system towards its Christian subjects,
and to afford them a pfotection which they have not
hitherto enjoyed. In the course of December a
head was exposed before the gate of the Seraglio,
with this inscription—' This is the head of the rob-
her Osman, who behaved with cruelty to the poor
Ragas.' This measure of the Government is said
to have made a profound impression en the inhabi-
tants of :Constantinople."
The amount of imports into St. Petersburgh
last year was 149,135,103 ruble', or 17,651,831
more than in 1828. The amount of the exports
was 107,428,929 rubles, or 1,701,474 more than in
1828. The receipt of customs last year was
41,181,831 rubles, and there were still in the ma-
gazines imported goods to the value of above 36i
millions of rubles, on which the duty had not yet
been paid.
ODESSA, JAN. 10.

Picha has set out to day on his way to St.
Petersburgh. Tliree hundred horses are bespoken
for himself and suite at every stage as far as Mos-
cow, in which city he intends to stop some days.

HOMBURG, JAN. 25.

The Princess Louisa Caroline Sophia, of Salms
Braunfels, died here on the 18th, at the age of 63
years.

BRUSSELS, JAN. 31.

(Extract of a private letter from Petersburgh.)
Though the expected arrival of Ilalil Pacha ex-
cites a certain sensatioa here, persons who are well
informed, and versed in diplomatic matters do not
think this mission of much importance. They be-
lieve that the chief object is to obtain an miler
evacuation of European Turkey, especially Bulgaria,
which from the fertility of its soil supplies a consi-
derable part of the resources of the Ottoman Em-
pire. It is said that in this case, under the guarantee
of France and England, the time for the payment
of the indemnity will be extended to a more distant
period than fixed in the treaty of peace. But the
same persons think that our Co►rt will not readily
accede to such conditions, especially now, notwith-
standing the apparent good will of the Sultan to ful-
fil the conditions of the peace, it begins to take
umbrage at the military preparations which are evi-
dently making at Constantinople and other cities of
Turkey. It is affirmed that similar accounts have
been received from the Persian frontier; and conse-
quently our military force in those psrts instead of
being diminished will be reinforced. This determina-
tion is supposed to be connected with the renewed
orders sent to the provinces respecting the levy of
recruits ordered by the Ukase of 2d August.
VIENNA, JAN. 22!

The diplomatic body has had the honour of being
presented to his Royal Highness the Duke of Lucca,
who arrived here a few days ago.
The English Legation now expects another
courier from Constantinople.
