How THE NOBILITY ARE TREATED IN
PRUSSIA.—Bantti, APRIL 20.—Letter addressed to the
Franconian Courier :—Several Journals have given
very inaccurate accounts of the manner in which
the affair of the Archbishop of Cologne has been
settled by Count Clement of Westphalia. The real
facts are as follow. The Count of Westphalia did
not come hither with a mission of the Members of
the Estates, but of his own accord; neither is his
audience with the King immediately connected with
the discussion of the Westphalian Diet. The Diet, there-
fore, could take no notice of the result of it, and the Count
on his side has not again showed himself in the Assembly
in which be has a vote. The memorial which he pre-
sented to the King dilates on the well-known occurencee,
and after the removal of the Archbishop of Cologne, and
concludes with the petition, " That the Archbishop Cle-
menti Augustus and his Chaplain, Michel, may be restored
to the enjoyment of entire liberty, and the former thereby
enabled to resume his crosier." Very incorrect accounts
have bean given in the Journals both of the memorial of
Count Westphalia and of his Majesty's decision on it.
I, therefore, send you his Majesty's Cabinet order; it is as
follows When on your arrival here, and your stating
that you had some important communication to make
to me, I granted you the audience for which you applied.
I had only a general knowledge of a proposal respecting
the Archbishop of Cologne, which had been brought for-
ward in the Westphalian Diet, and respecting which I ex-
' pressed on your reception my serious displeasure. Now
that I have acquired a more specific knowledge of this
proposal, which you presented to me yourself, and have
likewise been made acquainted with the discussions in the
Diet respecting it, I shall confine myself in announcing to
you the declaration, that the Westphalian Diet by its ex-
pressed disapprobation of your illegal and disrespectful
proposal, proved, as I could not but expect from it, its
loyal and dutiful sentiments, and thereby treated you as
you justly deserved. I now enjoin you to return to Munster,
whither your duty as a member of the Diet calls, since you
have no more busines to do here,—../

TORY DOlNGS.—According to Sir Richard
Phillips's " Million of Facts," the Tory Government, be-
tween 1795 and 1826, i.e., in 34 years, raised, by all its
means of taxes and loans, 2,476,334,2161., or above 72
millions per annum ; and it expended, in the same period,
2,422,665,240/. Of these enormous sums, the customs
yielded 3091 millions, the excise 6881 millions, the
assessed and property taxes 368, the stamps 1651, the
post-office 39i, lotteries nearly 11, loans and funding
722. Of the enormous expenses, the interest of the
debt absorbed sq millions, the army 598, the navy
4221, the ordnance 95, direct subsidies for allies 55, the
sinking fund 3181, losses by Exchequer Bills, &c., 57.
It far exceeded, in less than a generation, the total of
all the taxes and, public expenses in 1,000 year?, or from
the reign of Egbert, the first King of England, in 627,
down to 1826. In the reign of Henry V., the taxes
were but 1,100/. per week ' • in that of Cromwell, 29,000/.;
at the revolution, 39,0001. ; in the reign of George 11.,
150,000/. ; and in 1833 nearly 1,000,0001 , or 1,000 times
