LONDON,
THURSDAY EVENING, JAN. 6, 1825.

We have again to congratulute the country
on the improved state of the Revenue. In
the Excise there will be found an increase
of store than 600,0001. on the Quarter, and of
nearly a million on the Year. There will also
he found a considerable increase in the Stamps,
compared with the whole produce of last year.
in the Post Office the increase is nearly 60,0001.
It is stated that in the Customs, though repay'
ni"lts and repeals of duties have taken place,
Iraanuting to 1,150,0001. in the Year, yet
they give within 168,0001. on the Year, and
withila 30,0001. on the Quarter of their for-
rner Produce, which sinews an increase of nearly
a million a year in articles still liable to
taxation. This, we repeat, is a subject of sin-
cere congratulation to the Country, and holds
forth
a prospect that in pursuance of the same
'Ystern the public burthens will be still farther
airnigished.

e have inserted in another column the
hi'llortant financial measures which were pre-
Beuted by the French Minister to the Chamber
c't Deputies on Monday last. The first relates
to the Civil List, and proposes to fix the amount
FAT the KING at 25 millions of francs annually
luring His AIAJESTY'S reign, besides the annual
5131 T) of 7 Miilioll3 as an appanage to the Princes
and Princesses of the Royal Family. The
se'end concerns the indemnity to the Emigrants
*hick is estimated at thirty millions of Rentes
at
three per cent., to be inscribed in five
Years at the rate of six millions annually,
43.141 the inscriptions to take place on the °2d
nne of each year, beginning with the present
YeaP. The third relates to the Sinking Fund,
and the conversion of the present Rentes into
Fitieutes at three per cent., or Rentes at four and a
4lf per cent., at the option of the holders. They
Ire to have the
power of exchanging into the new
hree Cents., at the rate of 75 Five per cent.
tic:r 100 Three per cent., or at par into the new
,"r and Ralf per Cent., with a guarantee that
.ne latter shall not be paid off before the 22d Sep-
;e‘,4l,be, r' 1835. The Rentes so converted will
-11Linue to receive interest at 5 per cent. until
he 22d becember, 1895.

Lisbon pa
Pers to the 35th ultimo were re-
'eived this morning. They are chiefly filled
qth extracts from the English, French, and
t.ller Journals, which have already reached this
:ountry, and do not contain the least news from
On the 04th, the Birth-day of the In-
'latm Donna ANNA DE JESUS l‘tiAniA was cele-
rated at Lisbon. The fortresses and the Portu-
Uese and foreign vessels in the harbour displayed
Ileir colours, and great numbers of persons of
iatinction went to the Royal Palace of Aitida,
5 compliment his Majesty and the Royal Fa-
lily on the occasion. The Gazette of the same
47' Contains a Royal Ordinance, granting the

title of Senlioria, now and for ever, to all the
Members of the Chapter composing the Holy
Metropolitan Church of Evora.

Accounts have been received from Odessa,
Lisbon, and Malta, which fully confirm the vic-
tories obtained by the Greeks over the fleet under
the command of the new Turkish Admiral 'BRA-
HIM-PACLIA, off the island of Camila,. The com-
plete investment of Putras on the land-side, by
the Greek army under the command of COLOOO.-
TRONI, is further corroborated by these arrivals :

and some letters even assert, that regular ap-
proaches have been made for the attack of the
fortress, and that one of the outworks, Fort Scat-
tarum, has already been carried by the besiegers.
A large convoy of cattle also has been captured,
which was destined for the relief of the Turkish
garrison, who are reported to be deficient not

only in numbers, but also in every material re-
quisite for the defence of the place. The pos-
session of l'atras by the Greeks will be an event
of the utmost importance, for it is the only place
whence the Ottomans can, by the assistance of
their fleet, invade the Morea with any prospect
of success, and furnish► the supplies necessary for
the military occupation of that portion of Greece.

Extract of a Letter from Liverpool, received a,

the New England Coffee-house.
LIVERPOOL, JAN. 4.—Arrived the, Belvidera,
FRA4ER, from Charleston, sailed the 12th Dec.
The Perfect was to sail the same day. The
Westmoreland, from this port, was going in. The
Diamond, from New York for this port, struck
on the Causeway, near the east end of Cardigan
Bay, and sunk in seven fathoms water. The
Preventive boat took six of the crew off the
rigging, the remainder, except a boy, were
drowned.—The wind this day has come round to
the eastward. The outward-bound still remain :
it is very probable, by the appearance of this
avening, that the greatest part of them wilt pro-
ceed to sea to-morrow morning's tide.—lt is
supposed that the above vessel had the Pugs!.
DENT'S speech on board.

By the Belvidere Charlestou Papers to the
9th Dec. have been received, but they do not
contain auy news.

DARMSTADT, DEC. 23.—Messrs. WILKINS and
Hortssiks, who were arrested, the first about
Easter, the second on the 20th August this year,
on suspicion of being concerned in treasonable
associations, are still in confinement. The Go-
vernment Commissioners have long since con-
cluded their investigations with respect to the
first, and made their report to the Aulic Tribu-
nal here, where the decision may probably be
soon made; but the investigation of the case of
M. Hoffman has only lately commenced. Wil-
kins chiefly employs himself in work% on Juris-
prudence ; Hoffman on German History, for
which he formerly had a great predilection, and,
a proof of it, published, in 1821, his German
History for the first century before and after the
birth of Our Saviour.—(Allgeincine Zeitung,
Dec. 29.)

Mr. LITTLEWOOD, a King's Messenger, was
sent off from the Foreign Office on Friday even-
ing to Madrid.

Accounts were yesterday received of the ar-
rival of the Little Sally off Malta, on the 30th
November, on her way to Napoli di Romania
with upwards of 50,0001. for the Greeks.
The Emperor of RUSSIA has addressed a re-
script to the Minister of Ecclesiastical Affairs,
charging him to exercise the most rigorous sur-
veillance over all publications that touch on reli-
gion or public instruction, in order to prevent
any from being published that have not received
the sanction of the Synod.

It is stated on the authority of the private ad-
vices from Paris, that a dispatch sent from the
Foreign Office by Mr. Secretary CANNING had
arrived there, and that it was Eke known deter-
mination of the French Ministers to proceed, in
unison with those of England, on the question of
the recognition of South America.—(Morning
Post.)
A letter from New Orleans, dated October
31, says—" The prospect of business is greater
than it has been for six years. The crops of
cotton, sugar, and tobacco are beyond calcula-
tion, and freights must be high."

Letters are in town from the city of Mexico, of
the date of the 28th October, mentioning the ar-
rival of the Diamond frigate, with Mr. Monicit.
They also state that every thing was perfectly
tranquil.
The Duchess of KENT and the Princess Fco-
noun honoured the performances at Drury-lane
Theatre yesterday evening with their presence.
Mr. Secretary CANNING, who is now at Bath,
continues to improve in health.

A strange rumour is circulating in Paris that
the well-known MAccu.EGon, 44 Ca ZigllC of
Poyais," has been invited to Madrid, and that
he has been appointed to the command of- the
armies intended to be raised in Spain for the con-
quest of the South American States.

THE ARMY.—The following is the official ac-
count of the destinations of the Regiments ordered to India :
6th Regiment of Foot, from the Cape to Bombay; 31st Regi-
ment, to Bengal ; 2d Regiment, to Bombay ; 97th Regiment,
to Ceylon ; 45th Regiment, from Ceylon to Madras. Those
Regiments ordered home are now countermanded.

The following is an extract of a letter from
Corfu, dated November 16, 1824:—Lord GUILDFORD, as
head of the Greek University, was at the Palace last night,
wearing the ancient garb of a Socrates. By his Lordship's
orders, the professors and students of the College have also
adopted the ancient Grecian costume, and the young Sophs are
daily to be seen in the streets of Corfu, presenting a singular
addition to the variety of costume to be observed in this island."

TILE BURMESE OR AVA. SKY-ROCKETS.—A cor-
respondent observes—ln Dr. Buchanan's journal up the Ava
river, on the mission under Colonel Symes, the following cu-
rious fact is mentioned :—" Many people were employed in
making rockets. The tube is made of a hollow tree, like a
pump. One we saw filling would require 380 viss of compo-
sition, about nine hundred weight; and it was said to be of no
extraordinary size !" The rocket-stick, adds our correspon-
dent, must be of a prodigious length !—( Cal. Gov. Ga.:.)
