Decree of :Majesty the King fer establishing a Na.
tional Commercial Association, Which is nqt only a proof
of the paternal solicitude of Ells Majesty for the enc9urage-
ment of our emu:site, but for the wel'are of his sohjocts:

" This establishment is viewed favourably by t 4 mimic
cial homes here, ai well as 'by capitalists and the public in

of bonus, arising from the profits, independent of the interes,:.
of 4l per cent., which• is .gnaranteed by.his Majesty for 2:i
years, without any pcssible risk or loss.
" Most of the first mercantile houses and capitalists here
have "determined to subscribe largely, and as the direction- of
the affairs of the society will' be confided under his Majesty's
sanction to sonic of the principal mercantile shareholders, its
good management may be depended upon."

THE LONDON JOURNALS.

Extractsirenz the Morning :Papers, April 8.

[MORNING CWRONICLE.I
The Addresses nf the Chamber of Peers and
Deputies, in answer to the Speech from the
_Throne, are what might have been expected.—
The French Army, which marched through
Spain without opposition, has, of course, covered
itself with glory. " Never
rdid a triumph do
more honour to humanity," say the Pe'ers. "The
Revolution pursned and conquered in its last
asylum ; a captive king replaced on his throne ;
a generous nation restored to religion, their
Prince, and their laws," are the burden of the
Song of Praise of the Deputies. Alas, poor
Spain ! yes, the Revolution seems indeed con-
quered, and along with it every vestige of sin-
cerity. The hollow hypocrisy of the old Re-
gime, the annals of which make the heart sick,
has again taken root, seemingly iu a congenial
soil.—The speech of M. de Villele proposes the
financial measure, which will operate a reduction
of from twenty-eight to thirty millions of francs
in the amount of interest of the national debt.
Many of his arguments are addressed to the le-
gality of the measure, for no one, he says, doubts
the possibility of its being executed. M. de
Villele anticipates the most favourable results
from this reduction with respect to agriculture,
industry, and commerce." If you wish (he says)
to vivify these three supports of our prosperity,
direct capitals towards them, and cause them to
be obtained at the lowest possible interest." We
are not astonished at the high credit of France
which has enabled the Minister to carry this im-
portant financial measure, when we consider the
small amount of the debt as compared with the
resources of the country. If peace continues it
will soon be cleared off; and every thing at pre-
sent in Europe indicates a continuance of Peace.
If France, England, and Austria, are agreed, the
affairs of the East can hardly interrupt the ge-
neral tranquillity.

equally flattering so his Majesty's Ministers and
gratifying to the Public. The amount of Re-
venue under the head of " Customs " may be
taken as the best criterion of our iscrasing re-
sources, inasmuch as during a steady period of
peace, the general trade and various in-
terests of the nation must be flourishing in pro-
portion to its exports and imports. Excluding,
therefore, all the other items of the public in-
come, and recollecting that, whatever reduction,
no addition of duties has for some years taken
place, we should be bound to conclude from
the Customs' receipts alone that the Empire never
was in such a state of solid welfare as at pre-
sent. Our task now is not endeavouring to shew
an equality .of revenue for a considerable past
period, but the still higher and more pleasant
duty of depicting a successive increase each cor-
responding quarter over the amount of the pre-
vious ones for a series of years. If we next turn
to the several other heads of the internal Reve-
nue, of which, together with the " Customs,"
the total income of the country is made up, we
shall find them to bear out the inference
suggested by the state of our imports and
exports solely. The receipts from the Excise,
Stamps, Post Office, ecc. indicate the greatest
prosperity, the most active industry, and a
growing consumption of all the articles of
life, whether necessaries or luxuries. In
short, were there occasion to raise the hopes of
the Public—to sustain the confidence of the
people in their rulers—or rouse the country to
the assertion of its rights—the statement of the
Revenue which we have published would justify
the most exulting eommems.
It so happens,
however, that every individual feels in himself
such incontrovertible proofs of our flourishing
situation that it is useless to enforce or enlarge
on them. But what shall be thought of those
who choose a moment when the satisfaction of
the public is unquestionable, to vent their vulgar
spleen at the grant of 150,0001. towards the re-
pairs of Windsor Castle ? A more disgusting, and
at the same time puerile tissue of sordid excep-
tions to this vote, than appeared in a Paper of
Tuesday, has never met our eye. But such cavils
are now unavailing--discontent is not contagious at
present—and we are convinced the feeble, qua-
lified opposition to the grant which the utmost
fervour of party spirit could produce on Monday
night in the louse of Commons will not meet the
faintest response throughout the united King-
dom. Assuredly if ever Monarch deserved the
gratitude of his subjects, it is due to our Gra-
cious Sovereign George IV.; and to seek
to thwart his Majesty's wishes in rendering
the only structure in the Empire resembling
a Royal Palace a suitable abode for the
King of the freest and happiest people on earth,
is at once unworthy and ungenerous. But we
only mention the circumstance to note its folly
as well as its weakness—for we have hopes that
instead of objecting to the amplest and most
splendid reparation of Windsor Castle, Parlia-
ment will, ere long, also see the propriety of
commencing a new and magnificent' Palace near
the metropolis, for the town residence of the
Head of this mighty Empire.
