LON,
TUESDAY EVENING, D
JONANUARY 15, 1833.

nevi,ile Morning Advertiser, in the article on
assil 4Per taxes, which we copied yesterday,
ell ntes that we were in error in stating that the
in::leELLort of the EXCHEQUER was doubt
4(14

tlutl:4BeMents at the same time with the stamp

the e e absurdity of the scheme attributed to

of .1e absurdity of the scheme were indicative
woultid improbability, the Morning Advertiser
reet' have great reason to question our cor-
we nes; but with all due respect for our Rulers,
rot would observe, that the absence of sound
hdives from a supposed project does not
"aYs imply that the project is not in actual
istenee. Many things have been proposed
Y the present and former Ministers which would

3' Part of which at all savouring of prudence or
~.i,d

s what is said, unless the strongest evidence
iitleti, adduced in proof of the assertion ; in
'fie (11 to ourselves, however, we must say that

noNeet not hazard our statement upon. mere

loop„ bestowed by our contemporary on the
ing th"e`i Scheme should be the means of bring-

IIANoELLon of the EXCHEQUER to a
a', At
ttightened view of the subject.
Teeter ere is no tax so burdensome in its cha-
-0o th:ic' Partial in its operation, and so injurious
o 44:terial trade of
the
country, as the duty
-amouinertisernents, whilst there, is none the
Yerrnlil°/. which so little compensates the Go-
therr....seivte'3 for the pains they take to render
!tot world for
by its continuance, we do
alli civeni: at the doubt which the Morning
..iinank the '. expresses on the subject ; and we
to set th,"
uPportuil. editor of that paper for giving us an
orBaYing'
- question• .
that Ministers are bound
f"al f°tat rest by an immediate pr0....°
....° sue at,sed,ueing the stamp duty on newspapers
vr°Prietor- ljtilee, as would enable the newsaer
t° sell his paper at 4d., or at th utmost,

5d., and that they are also bound to propose the
abolition of the duty on advertisements.
The Spectator, in au admirable article,
which we have copied into this day's Sun, and
which we recommend to general perusal, shows
that with the proposed reduction on the stamp
duties, a sevenpenny paper could not be sold for
less than sixpence, without a ruinous loss to the
newspaper proprietor. Lord ALTHORP, how-
ever, is said to speculate on the probable com-
petition of papers, and to expect that they will,
like rival stage-coaches, be so many nest-eggs to
the Government for the duties, although they
may ruin all who are connected with
them. A short time ago, his Lordship,
who is unfortunately so good-natured a man,
that he frequently believes any thing that is
told him by persons who have a direct interest in
keeping the truth from his knowledge, was led
to conclude that his proposed plan of reduction
would be a very valuable one, inasmuch as it
would render it unnecessary for a gentleman who
purchased a single newspaper, to carry copper,
as he could pay for the article with a silver
sixpence. Now he is told that if he reduces the
stamp duty from 4d., with a discount of 20 per
cent., to 2d. without discount,—giving little
more than a penny to the newspaper proprietors,
the latter, who even now do not get twopence
per copy, after paying for stamp and paper, will
be mad enough to sell these papers at sd. each,
leaving them only one penny per copy to meet a
weekly expense for printing, editing, &c., exclu-
sively of stamps and paper, of from 1201. to
3001. What a pity it is that Lord ALTHORP
cannot judge for himself, instead of allowing his
mind to be warped by so much absurdity.
We agree fully with the Spectator, in think-
ing that the best reduction of the stamp duty on
newspapers, for the proprietors and the public,
would be that which would reduce the price of the
newspaper to 4d. The public might, however,
be satisfied with the reduction for a time to 5d.,
and more than that nobody will long pay for a
newspaper ; for the reduction of the tax on
knowledge was one of the advantages to
be derived from a Reformed Parliament.
It would be a mockery to confine the re-
duction to the difference between 7d. and
6d. If Lord ALTHORP wishes to benefit the
public, and at the same time to increase the
revenue, he will boldly reduce the tax, so that a
newspaper may be sold for 4.d.
On what principle the CHANCELLOR of the
EXCHEQUER hesitates as to reducing the duty
on advertisements we know not. The tax at
present, after deducting the heavy expense of
collection, does not yield annually much more
than the cost of three regiments of soldiers, who
might well be dispensed with, and yet it is of so
restrictive a nature, that none but the wealthy
can afford to pay for advertisements. The poor
servant out of place must pay 3s. 6d. to Govern-
ment for the opportunity of announcing his desire
to earn his bread honestly ; the industrious
shopkeeper must expend, in advertisements large
sums (and be it !remarked, that advertisements,
like lottery bills, do little good unless they are
profusely followed up), and the publisher of a
book, however useful in its character and ten-
dency to the community at large, has no chance
of sue unless he expends 40/. or 501. in adver-
tisements, of which half at least goes to the
Government.

Besides, we object to the advertisement duty
as a matter of principle, it being the most op-
pressive of all the taxes. For instance, in the
Times of this morning, to which we draw the at-
tention ofthe CHANCELLOR Of theEXCHEQUER,
there are several hundred advertisements, not ex-
ceeding four, or five, many of them not three,
lines, upon each of which a dutyof3s.fid.is charged,
being at the rate of ls. for each line. Does this
disgraceful and oppressive tax require any com-
ment ? And yet if LordALTHORP discharges one
of his servants, that servant must pay three shillings
and sixpence duty, out of his actual necessity,
in advertising for another situation. We think
that this view ofthe question will be a complete
answer to any scruples which the CHANCEL-
LOR of the EXCHEQUER may have, as to the
propriety of reducing the advertisement duty,
which is a tax upon knowledge as well as upon
the necessities of the people.
It has been said, by some, that if the ad-
vertisement duty were abolished, the public
would not obtain a corresponding benefit—
that the advertiser would have to pay ss. for
what is now a seven shilling advertisement. This
is an unfair statement. As the number of adver-
tisements would increase, so would the newspaper
proprietor be induced to lower his charge. In
the United States of America, where there are
no advertisement duties, a shopkeeper, or any
other person, may insert a short advertisement
for less than two shillings. Why should not
the same thing occur in this country. If the
CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER be wise, he
will abolish the duty altogether, or at least re-
duce it, as we suggested, to one shilling on long
and sixpence on short advertisements.

It has been said also that the CHANCELLOR
of the EXCHEQUER. cannot propose extensive
reductions in the taxes on knowledge, because
the House of Commons expect him to devote
all he can spare of the revenue to a reduction of
the assessed taxes. The House of Commons
will do well to insist on this reduction, but not to
the exclusion of the claim which is put forward
for a reduction of the taxes on knowledge, and
on the means of publicity secured by newspaper
advertisements. As the necessary effect of
reducing the assessed taxes would be to improve
the value of property, aid raise the rents of
houses, it might be said in such case that the
Members of the House of Commons, many of
whom derive their incomes from house pro-
perty, were indifferent to all but their own inte-
rest. 'We sincerely trust that no ground will he
afforded for such an imputation, and that the
CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, for whom
we entertain the highest possible esteem, will
also command our respect by a Statesmanlike
disregard of representations which are intended
to divert him from a great public duty.
We thank our contemporaries, the Morning

Advertise/. and the Spectator, for the able way
in which they have handled this subject, and we
hope our joint labours may prove useful. The
proprietors of the provincial papers will also do
well to bestir themselves, and to prevent, by their
co-operation, the enactment of any measure which
would fall short of the just expectations of the
public. The Reform Ministry is under more
obligation to the Newspaper Press than we
choose to mention; at present, however, we
appeal not to their gratitude, but to their justice.

A Cabinet Council was held last night at
the house of the CHANCELLOR Or the EXCHE-
QUER, on the subject, as we understand, of
West India Slavery, it being considered im-
portant that Ministers should be prepared with
some specific measure for the new Parliament,
as several Members intend to submit motions
on the subject, unless Ministers take the initia-
tive. It is highly desirable that some understand-
ing should be come to before-hand. We hear
that Mr. BUXTON'S party will, unless the
Government should render such a proceeding
unnecessary, bring forward a motion declaring
free all negro children born after a certain period.

Prince TALLEYRAND not having returned
from Brighton, another despatch was sent off
to him last night. This evening, on the receipt
of the answer from the Prince, Lord PALMER..
STON, will make a formal communication on the
subject of the answer of the King of HOLLAND.

The French papers are full of accounts of the
progresses of Louis PHILLIP and his family,
and the distribution of the Crosses of the Legion
of Honour to his soldiers who fought at the
siege of Antwerp. The KING and QUEEN of
the Belgians joined his MAJESTY at Lille.

Much as we deprecate all ideas of a Repeal
of the Union between England and Ireland,
under the firm and full conviction that such a
measure would, if carried, be the ruin of both
countries, still we are not blind to one advantage
attending its agitation at the present moment,
namely, the effect it will produce on the Minis-
terial plan, now in the act of busy preparation,
of Irish Church Reform. Though we have
abundant faith in the sincerity of Government,
yet we do not at all disapprove of their being
kept up to their duties, from a sense of interest
as well as of honour. Governments, generally
speaking, are not in the habit of giving too
much to the people. The odds are, that they
give too little. It is fit, therefore, that they
shou!d now and then be O'Cc .nellized:--
that :s, that a broad hint should he given them
of the propriety of going briskly forward, instead
of coming to a stand-still, or attempting to re-
trograde. The Repeal clamour will, no doubt,
convince Ministers that the situation of Ireland
is such as must not be tampered with—that the
eyes of the whole population are anxiously bent
on one object of paramount importance—
Church Reform, which, therefore, to meet the
wishes of a people so full of excitement, must
be sweeping and comprehensive—in fact, sheer
root-and-branch work.

A Reform of this comprehensive description
will, we hesitate not to declare, do more to-
wards putting down the Repeal agitation than
all the martial laws that ever were, or ever will
he, proclaimed. The sword is but a bungling
instrument in the way of tranquillizing a nation.
It lops off one head of the Hydra, but leaves
two sprouting in place of that one. As respects
Ireland, it has ever proved a miserable failure—
indeed quite a curse in the hands of those who
employed it ; so truly does " even-handed jristice
commend the poisoned ch?•ice to our lips."
Moral, not physical force is the talisman that
must calm the agitation of the sister country.
The remedy is a novel one, we grant, but its
very novelty, if nothing else, will be sure to se-
cure its favour among Irishmen.
We firmly believe that the sole cause of the
present alarming spread of the Volunteer Asso-
ciation, is the circumstance of Ireland having a
legitimate grievance to complain of. A good
grievance, whether it be a Manchester massacre,
or a Protestant Irish hierarchy, is for a time, the
making of an agitator. It furnishes him with
all the " thews and sinews" of argument and
eloquence. See what a stalwart regiment of
" Dan's Own," with the great dictator Mr.
O'Crontwell himself at their head, has just been
raised by STANLEY'S Tithe Bill alone ! Th it
some people may refuse, like Falstaff, to " march
through Coventry" with this squad, is no argu-
ment against them. The fact is undeniable
that they are a strong, compact body, and likely,
on some nicely balanced question in the House,
to do much mischief—peradventure even to the
tripping up of a Whig Cabinet.

We propose then to disarm this regiment.
And how ? By giving them nothing to unite or
fight about. Let Ministers but do justice to
Ireland ; let them but set her free of that intole-
rable incubus the Protestant Church, which now
hangs about her, like the Old Man of the Sea
round the neck of Sinbad ; anti from that
moment the seal is put to the overthrow, as
efficient agitators, of O'CONNELL and his Marty.
An Irish Church Reform once conceded in the
proper spirit, and the Repeal clamour will have
lost all its force ;—that is to say, as a national
question ; for as a party one, it may still languish
some months, perhaps years, longer. But what
good Government need dread the imbecile
ravings of an expiring faction ?
It remains then with Ministers, we contend,
whether this repeal agitation shall be continued
or not. They have it in their power at once to
put an extinguisher upon it, by doing justice to
Ireland. But if they halt, or doubt, or vacillate
about the quantum of the remedy be applied ;
if they look behind, when they should look be-
fore them ; and regard party when they should
think only of national interests ; then, indeed,
Repeal will become a question which not even
the sword itself, sharp as may be its edge, and
unsparing as may be the use of it, will be able to
subdue.

Accounts from Ostend, of the sth inst., state
that during the, month of December 145 vessels had entered
that port, having a tonnage of 16,689 tons, of which 70
were English, 28 Belgians, 13 Danish, 13 Hanoverians,
11 French, and the rest of various nations. During the
same period 141 had sailed, of which 56 were English,
30 Belgian, 24 Hanoverian, and 12 Danish.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, T IVEL YE O'CLOCK

We have received the following by the French mail this
morning : —The letters from Brussels state that the de-
tention of the Austrian ship in the Scheldt by the Dutch
was entirely a mistake, as the intentions of the Dutch Go-
vernment were only to shut the Scheldt against the Eng-
glish and French commerce, in retaliation for the embargo
and blockade of the Dutch Port.

The letters from Vienna state, that every person there
is for peace, and Marshal Maison is much respected at the
Court, and all the minor Ambassadors from the minor
Courts court his friendship ; even M. Metternich does not
hide his sentiments in favour of France. It also appears
that the Austrian Cabinet begins to have some suspicion
on the events going forward in the East, and the part
which a great Power is acting. A report prevails that
80,000 men are at this moment proceeding towards the
Turkish frontiers.

They write from Paris that a conge is going to be given
to half the officers of each regiment of the army, from the
15th instant to the 15th of April ; and that a Con-
gress is spoken of to take place in the spring, at Frank-
fort, at which the King of France, the Emperor of Russia,
the King of Prussia, and several other Kings, will be pre.
sent.

Boston papers to the 19th of Dec., received at the
North and South American Coffee-house, state that a
meeting took place at Faneul-hall, of the Citizens of that
place, at which several resolutions were passed to the fol-
lowing purport:—
Resolved—That the members of this meeting have read
with high gratification the recent Proclamation of the
President of the United States.

Resolved—That in the present situation of public
affairs, where the integrity of the Union and the Consti-
tution are seriously menaced. The issuing of such pro-
clamation is, in the judgment of this meeting, a wise,
timely, and patriotic act.

Resolved—That we are constrained to consider these
procedings of South Carolina as being disloyal to the Con-
stitution, and decidedly revolutionary.
The Funds opened heavy this morning; Consols,
which left off yesterday, after some heavy sales being ef-
fected, at 874 for the Account, opened at 874 4, and
soon after went down to 878 4i for the Account, caused
by the continued obstinacy of the King of Holland to
come to immediate terms. It is supposed that, be-
fore long, we shall be obliged to force the Scheldt by
the capture of Flushing; but we are of a different opi-
nion, and have reason to believe that his Dutch Majesty's
answer, received by our Government, is favourable.
In the Foreign Market nothing doing.

HALF-PAST ONE.
The Consul Market still continues heavy at 87H for
the Account. The heavy Stock has also receded.
The report that martial law is going to be put into
force in Ireland, has had an effect on the Funds. Up to
the present time we have no political news.
There has been another failure this morning on the
Stock Exchange—a Hebrew, not of the first rate, for
about 3,0001. difference.

We are informed that Don Pedro, by a decree, has put
the whole of the male population at Oporto, capable of
bearing arms, under requisition.
In the Foreign Funds little or nothing doing. Prices
much the same as yesterday.

The affair of the salvage of the specie on
board the Thetis, wrecked on the coast of Brazil, our
readers are aware, has been thrown into Doctors' Com-
mons. The following communication has been trans.
mitred
" His Majesty's Government have demanded from the un-
derwriters and others concerned in the specie saved from the
wreck of his Majesty's ship Thetis upwards of 15,0004, being
for the wages and provision of the officers and crews of his
Majesty's ship Lightning and her tender, and the Algerine,
during the time they were employed protecting the property
belonging to British subjects.
" Lloyd's, Jan. 12, 1E433."

Colonel CARADOC is shortly expected in
town from Paris. The Gallant Officer was expected to
arrive in the French metropolis on Friday last, from ful-
filling his difficult mission at Ant.verp, where he appears
to have acquired universal esteem. General Lord How-
DEN, father of the Colonel, who was created an Irish
Peer under Lord LIVERPOOL'S Administration, and ad-
vanced to the dignity of an English one by Earl GREY,
is resident at his seat, Grimston-park, in Yorkshire. Al-
though Colonel CARADOC will, for the present, resume
his former position at the British Embassy in Paris, it is
highly probable that, at no distant period, he will be ap-
pointed to higher diplomatic office. He enjoys the rank
of Lieutenant-Colonel on the Continent of Europe only.

In consequence of Government wanting the
ground that Emmanuel Hospital grandson, for the intended
improvements which are about to take place in West-
minster, to open a communication from Grosvenor-place to
the two Houses of Parliament, the LORD MAYOR and Al-
derm--n, who are the Govern,-rs of this noble charity, h we
complied with the wishes of Government to give up the
ground, and rebuild the hospital ou a piece of ground be-
longing to the Crown, situated between Wandsworth and
Putney, commanding a fine view of the river Thames.
The intended situation will be more healthy, both for the
aged inmates as well as the children.
Government seem at length determined to put
an effectual stop to the circulation of those unstao.ped
Radical newspapers, which in this city (Glasgow), and
elsewhere, h .ve so long been permitted to minister to the
worst passions and prejudices of their poor deluded readers.
Yesterday afternoon, ROBERT NIUIR and HENRY GOWA NS,
printers of the Loyal Reformer's Gazette. along with
PETER M`KENZIE, its editor, were apprehended and
lodged in gaol, by virtue of a writ issued by his Maje-tv's
Barons of the Exchequer, for a debt due by them to the
Crown 0f2,100/.—Glasgow Courier.

Commercial acmes from New York state,
that the arrivals during the month of November, at that
port, amounted to 539 vessels, of which 33 were from
Great Britain or her colonies. The number of steerage
passengers during that period was 1,037, of which 902
were English or Jrish, and 135 French. With respect
to the recent treaty of compensation with Naples, it seems
that eight of the vessels confiscated by the Napoleon Go-
vernment of N iples, belonged to that port, and th It the
value of the cargoes, exclusive of that of the ships, was
667,000 dollars. The total number of American vessels
confiscated was 47, estimated at 4,000,000 dollars, of
which a large portion belonged to the State of the Mas-
sachusets. The money obtained by these seizures was
appropriated by NA roLEoN to defray the expenses of his
expedition to Spain. The total amount recovered by the
United States of the Neapolitan Government, is very near
1,800,000 dollars.

ORKNEY ELECTION.—We are unable to
give our readers any account of the Orkney ekction—the
latest in Great Britain. The constituency of the two
groups of islands, Orkney and Shetland, amounts to up-
wards of 200, two-thirds or more of whom belong to
Orkney. The voters are pretty equally divided betwixt
the two candidates, Mr. TRAILL and Mr. LAING, both
highly respectable gentlemen, of liberal principles. The
return will depend on the Shetland electors ; but in con-
sequsnce of the steam-boat which was employed to bring
the poll-book to Orkney not having been able to proceed
to Shetland, a sailing vessel was engaged, which, by our
last advi,es, had not returnid. A difficulty
.may arise
should the poll-book not he returne Ito Orkney within the
time prescribed by the Act, which we hope will, in this
instance, he amended in the new Parliament.—Cale-
don an Mercury.
OLYMPIC THEATRE.—RE-APPEARANCE.
OF MR LISTON.-After an absence of more than a week,
caused by severe indisposition, Mr. LISTON made his re-
appearance last night on the boards of (his theatre.
From the announcement in the bills that he was recovered
from hi 4 illness and would re-appear in the evening, a
numerous class of his admirers attended the theatre to
greet his return. The house was throughout well filled,
and all seemed anxious for the performance to commence.
The second piec., Kill Him, or Cure Him, was that
chosen tor Mr. LISTON to make his re-appearance in, and
like a true hero he dashed in, sans ceremonie, in the
character of Mr. Brown, in his " one-horse stray," ac-
companied by Mrs. Brown (MP,. ()HOER), who had
quarrelled with him on the road to a race which they set
out to see, but never saw, having resolved to return home,
by way of vexing each other, before they had got half
way to the course. He was hailed with enthusiastic ap-
plimAe from all parts of the house, which !arced a consi-
derable time, and must have been very flattering to his
feelings. He looked well, and played in excellent spirits
throughout the piece.
