ANOTHER DECREE.

" The imposts levied on the lttncl and its productions, under
the reign of tyranny, were not only burdensome, but very une-
qually divided ; a multitude of abuses which had crept into the
mode of levying them made them still more burdensome. The
Government,from the first days of its establishment; has directed
its attention to this important branch of the public administration,
which is one of the principal resources of the State; but con-
sidering that the urgent wants of the country demand prompt
succours to enable it to meet the expences of the war, and, on
the other hand, that a complete method of levying taxes de-
pends on the re-organization ,of a multitude of things with
which taxes have some relation, direct or indirect, the Legisla-
tive Senate has decreed, and the Executive Council has sanc-
tioned, the following temporary Law :
" L The taxes on corn, fruit, and other productions of the
earth, shall be a tenth of their value.
" 2. Gardens and other spots, the property of individuals,
which supply their domestic wants, are exempt from every tax.
" 3. Those who cultivate the property of the State shall pay
three-tenths of the productions, rice and olives excepted.
" Those who have hired this property are only to pay the ac-
customed sums. _ _ .

" 4. The tax on rice grown on the property of the State is a
fifth part.
" L. The tax on olives shall be regulated by a special law.
" 6. The chief places to which the receipts of the taxes shall
be conveyed are the same as formerly:
The Ministers of Finance are charged with the execution
of this law.—Given at Corinth, April 25 (May 7), 1822.
" MAUROCORDATO, President.

" TH. NEGRIS, Arch-Chancellor of State."

nister, and at five terminated its sittings.

HAbIBUIIGII, AUG. 9 —As we were making up
our Paper, we received from a source worthy of
credit the following particulars, which, however,
as may be conceived, circumstances may modify.
His Majesty the Emperor Alexander intends to
leave St. Petersburgh on the 16th of this month,
in order to be in Vienna by the 6th or ith of
September, whither also the Ministers are re-
pairing. An obscurity yet hangs over the Con-
gress in Italy—No preparations seem to have
been yet made for it.—l tis not believed that his
Majesty the King of Prussia will come to Vienna.
liamburgh Correspondent.)
VIENNA, AUG. B.—The Emperor has been
pleased, in consequence of the repeated solicita-
tions of Rudolp, Count Lutzow, and out of re-
gard to his enfeebled health, to recal him from
his post of Internuncio at Constantinople, which
he has hitherto filled to the perfect satisfaction
of his Majesty. lie has granted this with greater
pleasure, as peace is now perfectly restored in
Moldavia and Wallachia, by the withdrawing of
the Turkish troops, and by the recent appoint-
ment of new Ilospodars to these principalities.—
At the same time his Majesty has been pleased
to nominate Baron Ortenfels to be his [nternuncio
and Minister, with full powers, at the Ottoman
Porte.--As a proof of his Majesty's contentment
with Count Lutzow, in the difficult circumstances
in which be has been placed, the Emperor has
been pleased to bestow on him the Great Cross
of the Order of Leopold.

FRENCH VOYAGE OF DISCOVERY.-The
qztille corvette, commanded by M. Duperry, Lieu-
tenant de Vaisseau, the fitting out of which has
occupied some months at Toulon, sailed from
that port on the 11th of the present month. She
is about tc; undertake a voyage, from which re-
sults interesting to the progress of geography and
physical science maybe expected. The Coquille
will-first sail for the Cape of Good Hope. She
will afterwards proceed to the Great Archipelago
of Asia, several parts of which she will explore.
She will also visit the points of the western
coast of New Holland, which were observed to-
wards the end of the last century and the com-
mencement of the present, by Rear Admiral En-
trecasteaux, and Captain Baudin ; and after put-
ting into some of the islands of the Pacific Ocean,
discovered by Cook and Bougainville, she will
return to France by doubling Cape Horn. M. Du-
perrey is to avail himself of all the favourable
circumstances which this long voyage may present,
to make different observations relative to the con-
figuration of the globe, the inclination of the
needle, &c: Several members of the Academy
of Sciences and the Office of Longitude have
manifested their zeal in communicating to him in-
structions for that purpose. No means which
could prepare the success of this expedition have
been neglected. The corvette has been fitted
out with particular care. The crew consists of
picked seamen. Letters of recommendation are
furnished to the commanders of such foreign esta-
blishthents as the Coquille may visit. F►nally,
the zeal of all the superior officers affords reason
to hope that the mission intrusted to them will be
executed in the most satisfactory manner.
