being present at the dinner party given by Prince Leopold, on
Monday evening, to his Majesty.
His Majesty, accompanied by the Landgravine of Hesse Ham-
burg, left the Palace in au open landau, drawn by four greys,
with outriders, about half-past three o'clock yesterday afternoon,
to honour with his presence the grand entertainment given by
Lord Hill at Westbourne House, Paddington. Lady Mary Fox,
Lady Sidney, and Sir Andrew Barnard, followed in another car
tinge and four. The King stopped at Cambridge House, Picca-
dilly, where his Majesty wasjoined by the Duchess of Cambridge,

sian Envoy Extraordinary, visited Viscount Palmerston yesterday

LAUGIIABLE CIRCUMSTANCE.--O❑ Sun-
day last a loving couple presented themselves at St. Leo-
nard's church, Middleton, for the purpose of constimmat-
;ng their happiness at the hymeneal altar. Before the
service was commenced the woman suddenly turned round
and rushed out of the church. When the surprise caused
iiy this "demonstration " had subsided, the friends of the
forlorn bridegroom gave chase, and came up with the
faithless fair one upwards of a mile from the church.
Notwithstanding all their entreaties she refused to return
to the church, but the next day she presented herself at
the altar, along with her much-abused lover, and the knot
was indissolubly tied. —3lacclevield Herald.

LONDON,
WEDNESDAY EVENING, JULY 6, 1831.

The Revenue for the Quarter ended the sth
July is now published, and exhibits a defalca-
Lion of only 697,6591. as compared with the
corresponding Quarter of last year, although there
has been a very considerable reduction of taxes.
This is the best proof that a judicious reduction
of taxation will benefit the productive energies
of the country without impairing the Revenue.
We are convinced that if the present Govern-
ment persevere in this ameliorating course, they
will be amply repaid by the increasing prosperity
and consequent gratitude of the people. The
decrease on the present Quarter is principally in
the Customs and Excise, but as all the reduc-
tions during the last and present year are fully
discussed in the article from the Times, we con-
sider it unnecessary to recapitulate them here.
When does the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHE-
QUER mean to redeem his pledge respecting the
Stamp Duties ?

The Debate on the Reform Question was re-
sumed last night in the House of Commons.
Sir E. DEERING twinkled among the stcllce
minores who opposed the Bill, and strove hard
to prove that the anomalies in the representative
system were so far from being injurious to, that
they actually benefitted the Constitution. The
Hon. Baronet observed that " men of influence
in other countries had tried to assimilate the

Constitution of their own country to that of

Great Britain, but by neglecting to borrow our
anomalies, the utility of which they did not un-
derstand, they had in general failed, and had al-

ways fallen short of that practical utility which we
found in our Constitution." We can readily
imagine the difficulty foreign legislators must
experience in understanding the utility of our
representative anomalies. They must be sadly
puzzled to find out the reason why a green
mound should return two Members to the grand
Assembly of the nation, and a manufacturing

town, containing upwards of two hundred
thousand inhabitants, none at all ; why Gatton
should be represented and Birmingham not ;
why Preston should enjoy an almost un-
limited suffrage, and the whole kingdom
of Scotland be one close rotten borough.
That foreign legislators must have infinite
difficulty in finding out the advantages of

these anomalies we can, we repeat, most rea-
dily conceive, but that they have failed in conse-
quence of neglecting to engraft them on their
own imitation of the English Constitution, is
an assertion so preposterously absurd that we
wonder Sir E. DEERI SIG had front enough
to make it. But some folks have brass enough

for any thing. Mr. BULWER supported tlie
Bill in an able speech, but somewhat too refined
and metaphysical for the assembly to which he ad-
dressed himself. His arguments had not breadth
nor boldness enough to command attention.
The great triumph of the evening was Mr.
MACAULEY'S speech, which advocated the ne-
cessity of Reform, in a free, bold, eloquent
style. The Hon. Member was repeatedly cheered
during its delivery. In the nature of his rea-
soning he was particularly happy. He made
dexterous use of Sir R. PEEL'S argument re-
specting the disfranchisement of the forty-shil-

ling freeholders, and observed that the same ne-
cessity which justified that sweeping measure
was equally imperious on the present occasion.

In reply to some remarks by Lord PORCH ESTER
on the preceding evening, the I-lon.Gentleman en-
tered at some length into the history of the French
and English Peerage, explaining the difference
between them, and throwing in apposite reflec-
tions as he proceeded. On the subject more
immediately before him, he remarked that English
history was one continued series of Reforms, ex-
torted, point by point, from the Governinent by
the advancing energies and intelligence of the
people. We have little doubt that the Hon.
Member's speech will be generally read, and as
generally admired. It has the rare merit 'of in-
vesting a trite subject with all the graces of novelty.
The debate was adjourned at a late hour (two
o'clock) till to-night, when it is confidently ex-
pected that a division will take place.

We learn by Frankfort Papers, in an article
dated frontiers of Tyrol, that the Austrian troops
are so completely on the war establishment, that
every foot soldier is already provided with sixty
ball cartridges. The movements of this power,

itgussEt.s, JULY 2.—To-day the National Congress at
the commencement of the sitting decided that the debate
should open simultaneously on the previous question, and
that on the motion of Messrs. Van Snick and Jacques.
The motions of these two Members are in the following
words :.
M. Van Snick—" The National Congress declares

that it accept: the artic•es of the preliminaries of pear,
which are presented to us by the five Great Powers of
Europe." _ _ _

That of M. Jacques was conceived in the followiru:
terms :

" I propose to the National Congress to declare that the
IS articles proposed by the Conference at London shall be
adopted as preliminaries of a treaty of he .ice with Holland.'
BRUSSELS, Jima- 2.—lt is well known that M. R( -
baulx, in the sitting of the day before yesterday, appealed
to the mass of the people. A citizen of Liege, charmed
at this warlike transport, has just proposed to him to he
himself the first to march against the enemy. So fine an
example would touch the mass of the people much more
than the finest speeches.

We learn from Mayence that commerce and navigatim,
are very languid there, which is ascribed to the interrup-
tion of the communications with Belgium, this country
being of much greater importance to that part of Ger-
many than even Holland. It is, therefore, to be hoped,
that the two people will agree, and strictly unite for their
own interest.

FRONTIERS 05' TYROL, JUNE 18.—The Austrian
troops are so completely on the war establishment, that
every foot soldier is already provided with sixty ball car-
tridges.
It causes great surprise in Tyrol, that part of the land-
wehr of Upper Austria has had to advance to the extretce
western frontiers. The notion generally entertained of
the use of the landtvehr is, that it cannot he obliged to
leave the province to which it belongs till war is actual),
certain. Hence the opinion which is spread among the
people (it is to be hoped erroneously), that in spite of the
assurances of the Cabinets the continuance of the present
state of peace is far from certain. In fact, the marching
of the landwehr from i,s own province is attended with
many domestic inconveniences, from which it is inferred
that the Government would not order it without urgent
reasons. While part of the men are peasants just taken
from the plough, who have had no training to military
service, another part consists of older men who had left
the army to return to peaceful occupation, and are now
called on to leave their wives and children once more to
take up arms.
CARLSR UHF, Rss: 28.—1 n the sitting of the ChaniloT
of Deputies yesterday, it was unanimously resoled, on
the motion of M. Welker, and in conformity with the re-
port of the Committee, to petition the Grand Duke, in an
address, to re-establish the complete freedom of the Press
and abolish the censorship.

On the subject of the rumoured intentions of
the Duchess de BERRI to attempt a rising in
the South of France, some sensible and perti-
nent observations will be found in the Courrier
Francais.

The following has been received at LLOYD'S
this morning from the Royal Norwegian Depart-
ments of Finance, Trade, and Customs
" With reference to the Departments' letters to you of
the 13th inst. you herewith receive three printed notifi-
cations; issued by the Marine and these Departments, by
which you will observe what subsequently has been or-
dained. All travellers an iving from places in the Baltic
must be provided with a bill of health, attested by a
Swedish and Norwegian Consul, if such a functionary
reside at the place—without a similar certificate no one
can be admitted into the kingdom. The Magistrates have
it in command strictly to adhere to this, and on the
arrival of a person without a bill of health to consult
the Board of Health, in order that efficient measures may
be taken according to the nature of each individual case.
It being ascertained that out of 109 deaths in three days at
Riga, about an eighth part had been carriers of hemp, the
respective Quarantine Commissioners have been directed
to take necessary precautionary measures with regard to
hemp, flax, rags, and all other articles susceptible of in-
fection, which of late may have been imported from
the Baltic.

" Masters of Norwegian vessels must be particular in
providing themselves with bills of health on proceeding
to a foreign port, and which must be signed by the
Consul or Vice-Consul of the country to which they are
destined, or, where such a functionary does not exist, by
some other foreign Consul.
" The Departments have requested the respective Nor-
wegian and Swedish Consuls or Vice-Consuls in Danish
ports in the Baltic, the Sound, and the Belts, as well as the
Consuls at Griesswold and Lubeck, to make known to ma-
riners, that all vessels bound to Norway from Danish
ports in the Baltic, the Sound, and the Belts, must be pro-
vided with bills of health from the place of departure,
signed by the Norwegian and Swedish Consul or Vice-
Consul, or for want of such a one, by seine foreign resi-
dent Consul or Vice-Consul ; the want of bills of health
will subject the vessel in Norway to quarantine.
" Signed, JONAS COLLETT,
" Countersigned, W. OLSSEN.

N.ll.—The printed particulars alluded to were made
known at Lloyd's on the 2d and 4th instant.

THE FUNDS.—(THIS DAY.)
CITY, TWELVE 0' CL 0 CK.
The American Papers bring an account of the destruc-
tion by file of the town of Fayetteville, and about two
thousand persons having no place to lay their head. The
loss is estimated at one million of dollars, the United States
Bank, and that of Cape Teare, were also destroyed.
The Secretary of the American Treasury has issued a
circular to the various collectors, directing them hereafter
in estimating the specie value of such foreign currency as
is depreciated, not to take the rate of exchange on Eng.
land as their guide, but the value of Spanish or American
dollars.
Montreal Papers to the 3,1 of June, and Quebec to the
Ist June, have been received at the North and South Ame-
rican Coffee-house.
The Montreal Papers do net contain any news, and the
Quebec Papers state, that the number of vessels arrived
at Quebec is unusually great. Fifty-four vessels entered at
the cu,totn•hou-e that day, and the total number was 311.;
the number of emigrants arrived since Friday was 4,039,
and the total 17,439.
The only arrival of consequence is an express from
Ostend, by which it appears that on Saturday last the de-
bates were very stormy in the Congress, and it was to
continue on the 18 articles on Sunday ; should the
Congress have finished their discussions on the
above articles on Monday, we may look for the
result in the course of this day, as no doubt it is already
known at Paris by telegraph, which the French Minister
here might be in possession of this morning.
The debates of last night, although not of great inte-
rest, still occupy the attention of the public, who ate
anxious to hear the final result.
