SOLEA QUIS DICERE FALSUM AUDEAT ?

LONDON,

SATURDAY, APRIL 6, 1522.

The improvement in the REVENUE is highly
gratifying. The total produce of the quarter
ended yesterday is 10,897,1561., being an in-
crease over the corresponding quarter last year
of four hundred and twentpeight thousand nine

hundred and sixty pounds! The produce of the
whole year ended yesterday is 51,360,6651.,
being an increase over the produce of, last year
of one million two hundred and sixty-one thousand
two hundred and 'thirty-five pounds! !!--lt is su-
perfluous to, do more than congratulate the coun-
try on this prosperous result. . The official Ab-
stract will be found in another part of our Paper.

It will be seen by our extracts from the
French. Papers of Wednesday—(See FOREIGN
INTELLIGENCE) that the rejection of the Russian

Ultimatum, jeported in our Paper of yesterday
and Thursday, is fully confirmed. The fate of
ALt PACIIA has not only intoxicated the Turkish
populace and soldiery, but the Divan itself,
and the rejection of the Ultimatum has been
communicated in insulting language to the Mi-
nisters of England and Austria. It appears that
for the last month (that is since the capture pf ALI
was certain) the Divan has been forminga new and
numerous army at Nyssa, which is intended to oc-
cupy Upper Walachia : and that the army of the
Grand Vizier has been marching on the Danube.
Their answer to the propositions of. Russia would
therefore seem to have been purposely delayed
with a view of gaining time for the concentration
of their forces. It is reported that Russia will
be supported in the War against Turkey by the
Allied Powers, and that negociations are now
carrying on 'at Vienna, as to the dispo-

sition of European Turkey in the event of
the Turks being driven out of Europe ; and
this circumstance accounts for the continued stay
of M. de TATISCIIEFT in the Austrian capital,
which might otherwise appear unnecessary after
'the rejection of the Ultimatum. Austrian me-
tallies fell at Vienna, on the 23d ultimo, to
74 5-16ths, and Bank Stock to 668 2-sths.

The Letters from Constantinople, dated the
6th ult. received .this morning, positively assert
that the Russian Ultimatum has been rejected,
though the Turkish Government is strongly dis-
posed towards peace. The riotous disposition

of the Janissaries, however, hay overcome the
pacific views of the Divan, and compelled them
to decide on war.

Letters from Cadiz state that that city is to be
made a free Tort.

Extract of a Letter from Washington, dated March G.

The Board of Commissioners for deciding on claims under
the Spanish Treaty are most industriously engaged in the bu-
siness. Important points are occasionally decided ; a decision
was yesterday announced which is favourable to the admission of
a description of claims, embracing a considerable amount, viz.
those cases of captures by French privateers, where the vessels
were carried into Spanish Ports, and the prizes disposed of by
the captors, without the form of trial or condemnation.

We havelately noticed on more than one oc-
'casion the system now in full activity, of vilify-
:44lg the House of Commons, both collectively,
and through its individual Members. The object
-proposed in this line of conduct is to lessen the
authority, and, if possible, to trample down the
-independence, of that body, till it shall no longer
dare to exercise the right of deliberation upon
any measures which may be dictated in the name
01' cc the people," by a thoughtless multitude, and
theii interested misleaders. Various means are
adopted for the furtherance of this design;
sometimes abusive and contemptuous petitions
are sent into the House ; sometimes individual
representatives are loaded with every term of
contumely, either 'launched forth openly in the
names of public bodies, or voided in obscurity
by anonymous assailants. In defiance of the
most salutary and indisputable privilege, Mem-
bers have been publicly denounced during aSes-

sion of Parliament for particular votes and ex-
pressions of opinion in that Parliament, with an
audacity perhaps never equalled since the Com-
moners who voted against Lord STRATFORD'S
attainder were posted in hand-bills throughout
London, as the C 4 Straffordians or Enemies to
their country."
In pursuance of the same system of hostilities,
some laborious zealot has proposed to publish
at the end of every Parliamentary Session, a list
of members, illustrated by references to their
votes on particular occasions ; so that if we can-
not have Annual Parliaments, the public may at
least enjoy an annual repetition of election puffs
and squibs in all their luxuriance of alternate in-
vective and adulation. The first of these dainty
messes has been served up lately in the Pam-
phleteer, and is entitled The Elector's Remem-
brancer. We cannot help, by the way, express-
ing our astonishment that a compilation aiming
at real utility, and aspiring o a place in respect-
able libraries, should have afforded room within
its covers to so mean an effusion of absolute radi-
calism.- If the conductors of the Pamphleteer
thought in necessary, for the sake of extending
and varying the view of modern periodical litera-
ture, to give a specimen of Radical tract-writing,
we think they have by no means done justice to
our Jacobins in producing such a sorry sample of
their ingenuity, knowledge and powers of com-

position.
The author of this Remembrancer conceives,
as he informs the public, that 'a number of our
representatives have been for a long time " un-
ronsciously feeding on disgrace ;" and " the suf-
ferings of those who had the providing in the
different stages for the appetites of the aforesaid
gentlemen" (but who these purveyors, of " dis-
grace" are he does not tell us) have roused him
to the task of making this compilation, in hopes
that the foul feeders " may sicken at the sight of
their own grossness." He has therefore searched
the Parliamentary Reports and certain News-
paper files, and from the lists of majorities and
minorities contained in these full and authentic
records he has collected the materials which are
to act as an emetic on our Legislators. The ex-
hibition of grossness, our Readers will be sur-
prised to learn, after such a menacing preamble,
consists of a brief note of the manner in which
Ministerial and Opposition Members have voted
during the last two Sessions, not on-all the great
questions of policy that have come before the
House, but on five subjects which this writer
considers to be infallible tests of senatorial
_in-
tegrity—The QUEEN—the Grant of Arrears to
the Duke of CLARENCE—CathoIic Emancipation
—Repeal of Taxes—and Reduction of Establish-
ments. One would have thought that on some
of the many and varied questions which arose
out of the late QUEEN'S case, a difference of opi-
nion might have /prevailed among the most up-
right and honourable men ; and that considera-
tions of policy and public faith might sometimes
be supposed to have suggested a conscientious
doubt on the propriety of repealing some taxes,
or reducing some establishments. But no—to
have voted f. the Qu. (such are the compiler's
affected abbreviations) is an indisputable title to
patriotic distinction, as on the other hand, a voice
given ag. the Qu. imprints upon the utterer an
indelible stamp of reprobation; no explanations
are asked, no distinctions made; and he who has
divided " ag. rep. or red." no matter what was
the occasion, is required, if he yet retain any
spark of grace, to fall sick immediately at the
thought of his " own grossness "! Such is Ra-
dical liberality.
Nor is this all. It_ is likewise expected that
Gentlemen will be taken ill forthwith, who have
not attended, or at least who have not been men-
tioned in " DEnRETT'S Debates," or " the lead-
ing newspapers," as .having attended when divi-
sions took place on the subjects above enume-
rated. The compiler is extremely indignant at
the thought that " Mr. Well-dressed" should be
dancing quadrilles at " Lady Full-rooms," (such
is his elegant manner of satirizing the abuse),
when he ought to be cheering Messrs. HUME and
CREEVEY in the House of Commons; and that
the same fashionable deserter should, the next
morning, be in the midst of a dream about the
" charming Miss De la Gorge," when he ought
to be tearing his hair in vexation " at the un-
checked extravagance of Ministers." When,
therefore, he has searched his repertories in vain
for the name of any Member, he immediately
decides that the Gentleman is a confirmed ab,
sentee, and either writes down " nulla vestigia,"
or bestows upon him some such dignified reproof
as the following
" Anglesea.—Earl of UXBRIDGE.—A pretty sort of a Sena-
torial Gentleman this. Whenever, however, (suffice it to say
of such a Representative), he was present on a,division, he
voted in favour of Ministers."
Our Readers may guess what line of conduct
is expected from Members when they do attend

by a writer who pull's Mr. HustE and Mr.
CREEYEY, The Times and The Scotsman, in-
,
veighs against the " bigotry of the priesthood,"
reprobates the Protestant Establishment at pre-
sent maintained in Ireland, mentions the war of
the French Revolution as a❑ attempt to " thwart
the French in their struggle for freedom," pro.
moted by " corrupt tools of a bigotted King,"
and " interested associations of the commercial
branches ;" treats the battle of Waterloo as an
event to be regretted ; and speaks of his present
MAJESTY in terms which we will not repeat,
even for the purpose of exposing them to just re-
probation.

Unless occupied with matter of more conse-
quence, we may, perhaps, return to this subject,
for the sake of pointing out a few entertaining
specimens of Radical candour and consistency.

IRELAND.-On the 29th ult. Waller and Robert
Coppinger (father and son), and
were executed at Tralee. These wretcled men
died penitent ; but it was long before the younger
Coppingcr could be brought to forgive his father
for having set the example of embarking in those
violations of the law which brought them to an
untimely end. The Cork County Calendar now
contains the names of 380 prisoners for trial ;
viz. robberies and petty offences, 127; White-
boy offences, 120 ; cattle stealing, 51 ; vagrancy,
32 ; murder, 24 ; rape, 9 ; house burning, 9;
Ellenborough Act, 4 ; passing forged notes, 5;
smuggling, 9.—At the Cork Special Sessions, on
Tuesday, ,three men were tried under the Insur-
rection Act, and acquitted.

We received this morning a letter from a very
intelligent and judicious Correspondent in the
vicinity of Ipswich, who gives a very alarm-
ing account of the state of affairs in Suffolk
, and the neighbouring county. lie is too wise to
take things upon trust, and of too firm a mind to
feel any unwarranted alarms. He says that the
provincial Journalists seem afraid of representing
matters in their true light, lest they should draw
calamities on themselves. Fires, it appears, are
incessantly taking place in all directions in those
counties, particularly in a district from 10 to 15
and 20 miles from Ipswich, and they are obviously
the l*sult of a system deeply rooted and of wide
extent. Indeed from the progress of events, it
may be supposed to have some connexion with
the horrors daily perpetrating in Ireland. The fire
at Mr. BYLES'S last week has already been men-
tioned in the public prints, and two more dread-
ful fires have occurred this week, one at Coombs,
near Needham Market, and another more exten-
sive on last Thursday night, at Mr. VLsEy's, of
Framsden, about nine or ten miles from Ipswich.
Mr. VESEY is a tenant of the Countess of Dysaar,
whose fine old mansion, Helmingham Hall, is
within a mile or two of Framsden. But lament-
able as these events are, they are still more
alarming, as it appears certain that they are the
_effect of a plan now in full activity, and exactly
similar to that which prevails in Ireland, that of
establishing a system of terror by anonymous and
incendiary letters to a great number of persons
in Ipswich and in its environs, and among others
to one of the chief Magistrates, a letter of
the most atrocious description, a copy of which
has -been sent to the Secretary of State. In
some of the first of these letters •the mansions of
many Of the principal gentlemen in the outskirts
of the town were threatened to be burned on
last Monday, and it was stated that a large body
of people from the country would assemble
on the Cornhill. ft was, however, observed
that it was not likely that the miscreants would
give previous notice of their intentions, lest
they might be defeated, and that as Monday was
the first of April, that it was perhaps a wanton
trick for that day. The threats, therefore, under
this idea excited a laugh. The threats, however,
were soon carried into execution by the tremend-
ous fires this week at Mr. Byt,Es's, the other two
at Coombs and Framsden, and another which it
is said took place on Thursday night at Horham,
not far from Eye. The inhabitants in general now
regularly look round the horizon after (lark, with
the almost certain expectation of seeing fires in
some direction. Ipswich itself has been threatened
with a conflagration in four quarters of the town
at once. Some of the crowd (but the individuals
could not .be discovered) threatened the Staff of
the East Suffolk Militia, and with foolish incon-
sistency advised them " to take care of their
stores.". In consequence six hundred stand of
arms, and all the clothing, &c. &c. have been
removed to a place of safety, if any place can be
safe in such a state"of things, by order of Go-
vernment. What is still more alarming is the
language openly heard both at Mr. BYLES'S
fire, and by many of the lower orders since,
" that they would be glad if half the town or
county were burned, as there would be plenty
of work." Another Terriarkable circumstance
which has been ascertained is, that not only in
Ipswich and its neighbourhood, but in several
parts of the country round, strangers in decent
and good apparel have gone about making in-
quiries, even of children, ". who lived at such
farms and houses, where the Overseers lived, and
what was thought of the fires, at Ipswich ?" A
Gentleman whose house was burned has been
told by one of his workmen, that a stranger, an
Irishman, had said to him he might get plenty of
work and good wages, by following the example
of his countrymen in Ireland, and setting fire to
barns, &c. &c. People are afraid of taking these
strangers into custody, lest their own dwellings
steduld be destroyed the same night. This, we
lament to say, is no exaggerated feature, and it
is conjectured that these atrocities are committed
in this country, in order to prevent the sending
of more troops to Ireland, by the necessity of
keeping them for protection here.—We shall re-
sume this subject on Monday, as it is one of the
utmost importance to our domestic safety, and
perhaps involves the very security of the existing
Government,
