We have receiveq the following communication
from Palermo

" PALERMO.—SICILIAN PARLIAMENT.
" I have received,a Note from the-Secretary of Mate and
of Financial Department, prescribing to me what follows:
" EXCELLENT Sin—lt is the
,King's cominand that you
-com:nnuleate to Parliament the folloiVing Nla-
jesty is n.ut ignorant of the efforts the Chamber of tip Com-
mens have wade for fixing the Ways and Means for the cur-
rent triennial convocation; the Committee focused for that

purpose Isis not failed to apply- itself to this essential object
it .r 1 st certainly be aware of the notable disproportion in the
national exi,enditure with the revenue, and the necessity of
speedily tindiag-. a remedy to,avoid-that insolvency which ..his
111ajesty -nev,r permit.

'6 The delay of the above expediency which was so hilly
displeasiirg to Li.; .7tfajeSty; but which was owing, perha'ps, to
smile circamstances, has rendered tl►e necessity of
it still 'nine ~perions. Moreover, a novel and unexpeete6l
event lids taken place, which it behoves you,to itrlke known
to Parliausent, that it may ;Cdopt, with efficacy and dispatch,

such invasures as way he tequisitc.

" By au Official Note, dated the 12th of October last, the
Envoy and,Minister Ple'niputentiary of his Britannic .lajt-sty
i ,gated to the King that lie %vas authorised to pay the ball

of the war :übsiey in monthly ilisbursements, wed further
.orders, Ivhicli Las been punctualli to the ist
of
present month of ant: in consequence of the favour-
able rate of exchange, this subsidy has produced, in (ice
months, 154;1Gi; °infers*: 11,. cr however, the above LtivoY, by
another Note, has made it known to his Majesty, that
,he no longer aut horised• by the British Government to make
any larther

" The cessation of a subsidy, corresponding to nearly
thirty-onv thousand ounces monthly, Would have most sen-
sibly afiEcted the-Royal mind of his Majesty, if he' were not
more than certain-that Parliament will immediately provide
for th;:desciency.

" If such were our urgent wants, even during the period we
received the above subsidy, that the Chamber. was continuall}•
occupied in providing, the necessary supplies, it will be obvi-
ous that now more innueniate
_and efiicaciou3 remedies must
be adopted.

Thti above subsidy was paid with the greatest punctuality,
the first d..y of every month, and it vas as regularly applied
to the payment of toe subsistence-money of the army, which
never admits of delay. •

tiicily has ever given the most brillant proofs of its readi-
ness to support the State by an 'adequate force.' The army
has signalizA itself on a:I occasion:, and at the'present mo-

ment your attention ought to turn to it wore than at other
times, until a full peace secures the tranquillity of the king-
dons; and exempts the•ilation from those tuties now locum-

bcat on it.

- Lottery annals are without a precedent of the
interest which appears to have been excited in fa-
your of the Scheme of the Lottery to be Drawn
• the sth (.1 'April next, contitiaing Three Prizes of
30,0001. and Five Prizes of 1000 Guineas each, to
be.paid is Sterling Gold ; but it appears upon in-
mtiry that it is not these great inducements, un-
aided by additional stiinulants, that has given en-
ergy to -weenlation ; it is the extraordiiwg success
that attended tire Dikes of AHT pl and Co. No. 8,
Corrthill, and 120, Oxtord-street ; who sold in
