THE BRITISH MUSEUM.

The number of volumes of manuscripts in the British
Museum in 1821 was 17,937, besides 16,423 charters,
&c. ; between that yeer aid 1832 there were added to the
former 3,667 volume a, which raised the number to
21,604 volumes of MSS. in the latter year. During the
same interval 2,670 charters, &c., were added, and these
raised the number, in 1832, to 19,093. Of printed books
the number of volumes was, in 1821, 115,925, and in
1832, 218 957 ; the additional 103,032 volumes with
which the library was enriched between those years arose
from benefactions of 7,000 volumes, the gift of King
George the Fourth ; 2,000 volumes of works on Italian
history and topogrophy, by Sir R. C. Hoare, Bart. ; dona-
tions were also made to the library, either MSS. or books,
by ti:e late J. F. Hull and A. \Volley, Esqrs., Rev. Thos.
Kerrick, W. R. Stokes, and Hudson Gurney, Esqrs.,
Viscount Kingsborough, and late Count J. de Puisape,
and the Rev. George Coze. We are glad to observe that
the Parliamentary grant for the support of this noble
establishment, has been much increased of late years.
In 1821 it was 10,007/. 14s. 41., but it was
reduced in 1824 to 4,847/. ; for this, compensation
appears to have been made in 1825, when there
was added to a regular grant of 15,4161. a spe-
cial one of 7,500/. ; the largest annual grant
seems to have been in 1829, viz. 19,899/. ; and that
for the last year was 16,922/. The Museum has, besides,
a small income of 1,289/. 151. Bd., arising from funded
property ; so that, independently of a sum derived from
an incidental sale of doplicite books, its income last year
amounted to 18,211/. 159. Bd. The whole receipts for
the year, including incidental receipts, were 19,5061. 84.

which 9,925/. 3s. 9d. were paid in salaries and extra
service money, and 4,522/. Is. lid. in the acquisition of

LO ND ON,
FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 13, 1833.

Although the Duchess of BRAGANZA has,
since her arrival in England, maintained great
reserve on the subject of the cool treatment
which she and the young QUEEN of PORTU-
GAL received from the French authorities on
their way to this country, it has transpired,
through an authentic channel, that shortly be-
fore the departure of the Duchess, an eclair-
cissement had taken place, which gave great
offence to the French KING. As the affair,
however, was strictly of a private character, it
was hardly supposed possible that the Govern-
ment would adopt it, and be guilty of marked
coolness towards the QUEEN. Indeed, the
KING himself does not appear to have been a
direct party to the discreditable conduct of the
authorities ; but the latter, supposing from the
hints which they had received from Paris, that
it would be agreeable to the French Ministry
to insult the QUEEN of PORTUGAL, went
quite as far, and perhaps farther, than was de-
sired by the obsequious persons in the French
Cabinet, who retain their places by making
themselves the creatures of the KING'S Will.
Perhaps no stranger instance could be adduced
of the unconstitutional character of the French
Cabinet than the servile devotion to the KING
evinced in the proceedings towards the QUEEN
of PORTUGAL. Even NAPOLEON, with all
his absolutism, could not have found his Mi-
nisters more abject and complaisant.

The smuggling transaction mentioned in
yesterday's Sun, appears to have excited some
public interest, and is indeed well worthy atten-
tion, because it is very far from being the first
instance of fraud upon the fair trader, and the
revenue, under the shield of diplomatic privilege.
We are satisfied that the time must come when
either the privileges of the corps diplomatique
must be revised, or some effectual steps be
taken to prevent such scandalous abuses of those
privileges as have occurred in reference not only
to Prince TALLEYRAND, but to Mr. CANNING,
and the Duke of DEVONSHIRE, on their return
from foreign missions, and very many others.
The courtesy of the British Government has
uniformly respected the privileges claimed by
Ambassadors under the law of nations, and not
only are bags of despatches passed unopened by
our Custom-house officers, but Foreign Minis-
ters, residing in England, are allowed to receive
articles from abroad, duty free, for the use of
gtlutelamrselsmveusggoirhtiheir
gtraldioeusseeho
ernls. Hence
seems
to
leave
e a
arisen
rbe-
y
means of the exemption of Ambassador's goods,
for if a smuggler has only the acquaintance of
some one person connected with an embassy,
he directs his goods to the Ambassador, and
risks the detection of the fraud, protecting hint-

self by insurance. In case of detection, the
Custom-house officers not only incur a serious I
responsibility, (for an instance has been known
of an officer having been suspended for opening
an Ambassador's bag), but it is extremely
difficult to ascertain whether the transaction has
any sanction, direct or indirect, from the
Ambassador. In the late case at Dover,
it is said, though we trust incorrectly, that
Prince TA LLEYRAND has not repudiated the
affair so explicitly as might have been antici-
pated from so distinguished a personage as the
Ambassador from the King of the French.
Undoubtedly it is the duty of every ambassador
to maintain and preserve from violation the
entire privileges of his office ; but how it can be
contended that an ambassador is entitled to carry
on a contraband trade in silk and lace, we are
wholly at a loss to conceive. Let us hope,
however, that no scruples will weigh with the
revenue authorities, so as to prevent the Baron
FRANCESCHI and his goods being dealt with
according to the law of the land.
It would be infinitely better for all parties if
no remission of duties were allowed to Ambas-
sadors, and if they were permitted to have their
dispatches, and nothing more, without examina-
tion at the Custom House. Surely the French
Ambassador is not so badly paid, that he cannot
afford to pay the duty upon the wine he drinks,
or upon the furniture of his house. The consi-
deration is too paltry to deserve notice. The
thing comes to this, that either the Foreign
Ministers ought to shew some means by which
the recurrence of these frauds may be prevented,
or they must be content to be deprived of a pri-
vilege which is far more injurious to the fair
trader, than it can be beneficial to members of
the corps diplonzatique, or to the service in
which they are engaged.

M. THIERS, the French Minister, is ex-
pected to return to London on Monday or
TuesdLy next, on his way to Paris. His stay
here, however, will be very short. During his
visit M. THIERS has stated that his journey
had no political object ; but as he is the fa-
vourite Minister of Louis PHILIP, we do
not believe that the opportunity which this
journey preFents of ascertaining the degree of
support which the French King may expect to
receive from our Government on particular
questions will be neglected by M. TRIERS.
During the short time that he was here on his
way to the North, he had interviews with two
of our Ministers, and was frequently closeted
with M. de TALLEYRAND for a much larger
time than would have been necessary for ob-
taining an itinerary of his route.

It is an ill wind, they say, that blows nobody
good. We hope that this homely old adage will
be realized in the case of Saffron-hill, and that
the frightful catastrophe which lately took place
there will be the means of working great public
good, by cleansing and purifying, and throwing
open to the air and the sunshine of heaven, one
of the closest, most pestilential, and demoralized
neighbourhoods in the metropolis. A proposi-
tion to improve Saffron-hill and its vicinity was
broached a few months since in the Court of
Common Council, but rejected by the influence of
that malapert busybody Mr. PEARSON2whOSC taste
for the sublime and beautiful found ampler gra-
tification in Saffron-hill as it now stands and
stinks, than in Saffron-hill as it would be,
when well-sweetened and ventilated, and form-
ing a continuation of Farringdon-street, so as
to constitute a direct, spacious, and salubrious
line of communication with the New North-
road. The want of some such improvement as
this has been long since generally acknowledged;
and as by the late accident not a few of the main
obstacles have been removed, there is now an
excellent opportunity of putting it into execu-
tion. The Court of Common Council should
at once decide upon the subject, and not permit
themselves to be carried away by Mr. PEARSON's
stream of eloquence, even though that stream may
be as lucid and transparent as Fleet-ditch, and im-
pregnated with the classic inspiration of Saffron-
hill. The place is, and has long been, a crying
nuisance, and the sooner it is made savoury and
accessible the better. Though it is Mr. PEAR-
SON'S Parnassus, yet none can deny that it is
the nursery of half the thieves, young and
old, in the metropolis—the pick-pocket's Uni-
versity, where the student takes his degree, and
is turned out on town an accomplished and
well-educated conveyancer. Were its ap-
proaches widened, an airy, spacious thoroughfare
would at once be established between the very
heart of the city and its great northern outlet,
by which the trade of all the intermediate
neighbourhoods would receive a wonderful
stimulus. While on this subject, we may
express a hope that early next session Parliament
will accede to the petition of that public-
spirited individual, who has proposed (almost at
his own expense) to form an extensive and
commodious cattle-market in the Lower-road, at
Islington.

It will be seen by the following extracts from
the Prussian State Gazette of the 6th inst.,
that the Emperor of RUSSIA after being in peri-
lous danger of shipwreck in the late tempes-
tuous and far spreading storms, landed at Revel,
went back to St. Petersburgh, and left it on
the 31st to go by land to Schwedt :
BERLIN, SEPT. s.—We learn the following from a
letter, dated yesterday:—

"A courier who arrived here from St. Petersburgh on
the 3,1, in the evening, has brought word that his M ijesty
the Emperor had left Cronstadt on the 28th of August,
at nine o'clock in the morning, on board the Ischora.
The courier left the capital some hours later. Both he
and a second courier who left St. Petersburgh, on the
29th, and who arrived here to-day (the 4th) bring letters
from her Majesty the Empress to her august consort, and
the last also assures us that the supposition that his Ma-
jesty had landed at final to wait till the sea should be
more calm is unfounded. Our illustrious guest may
therefore be hourly expected at Swinewunde, especially
as the stormy weather has abated, and the wind has been
more favourable.".

According to subsequent accounts his Majesty bad not
yet arrived at Swinemunde yesterday evening at nine
o'clock. The news of the landing can reach Stettin in a
very short time, as signal forts are placed all along the
banks of the Oder.

(From the Prussian State Gazette, of Sept. 6.)
BERLIN, SEPT. 6.-1119 Aljesty the Emperor o
Russia arrived at Schwedt in good health, at half-pasi

four o'clock yesterday afternoon. His Majesty did not
land at Swinemunde as be intended to do. We learn that
after his Majesty had embarked at Cronstadt on the 28th,
the vessel was tossed about by violent storms in the Gulf
of Finnland, for nearly three whole days, and his Majesty
at length landed at Rual, whence, after a second
equally fruitless attempt to continue the voyage on
board the steam-boat, he returned in his carriage
to St. Petersburgb, which city he left again on the 31st,
in the evening, to make the journey to Schwedt by land.
The storm was so violent at St. Petersburgh, also, on the
29th and 30th, that it was feared there would be another
great inundation. In fact part of the city was laid under
water, and the roof of the winter palace was totally de-
stroyed.
Their Royal High:sesses the hereditary Grand Duke
and Duchess of Mecklenburg Schweren, are gone to
Schwedt, and her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cam-
bridge to Hanover.
Count Nesselrode, the Russian Minister for Foreign
Affairs, is gone to Bohemia.

It will be seen by the following that his
Majesty has issued a commission for the pur-
pose of ascertaining to what extent it may be
practicable to consolidate our statute and com-
mon-law. As the objects of the commission
are highly laudable, we sincerely trust that it
may be crowned with success :

" William IV., by the grace of God of the United
Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland King, Defender of
the Faith. To our trusty and well-beloved Thomas Starkie,
Henry Bellenden Ker, William Wightman, Andrew Amos,
and John Austin, greeting. Whereas we have thought it
expedient, for divers good causes and considerations, that
a commission should forthwith issue for the purpose of
digesting into one statute all the statutes and enactments
touching crimes and the punishment thereof, and also of
digesting into one other statute all the provisions of the
common or unwritten law touching the same, and for in-
quiring and reporting how far it may be expedient to
combine both those statutes into one body of the criminal
law, repealing all other statutory paovisions, or how far
it may be expedient to pass into a law the first mentioned
only of the said statutes, and generally for inquiring and
reporting how far it may be expedient to consolidate the
other branches of the existing statute law or any of them.
Know ye, that we, reposing great trust and confidence in
your zeal, ability, and discretion, have authorized and
appointed, and by these presents do authorize and appoint
you, the said Thomas Starkie, H. B. Kerr, W. Wight-
man, A. Amos, and J. Austin, or any three or more of
you, to digest into one statute all the statutes and enact.
ments touching crimes, and the trial and punishments
thereof, and also to digest into one other statute all the
provisions of the common or unwritten law touching the
same, and to inquire and report how far it may be
expedient to combine both these statutes into one
body of the criminal law, repealing all other sta-
tutory provisions; or how far it may be ex-
pedient to pass into a law the first mentioned
only of the said statutes, and generally to require and re-
port how far it may be expedient to consolidate the other
branches of the existing statute law, or any of them ;
and for the better effecting the purposes of this our com-
mission, we do by these presents give and grant to you, or
any three or more of you, full power and authority to call
before you, or any three or more of you, such persons as
you shall judge necessary, by whom you may be the better
informed on the subject of this our commission, and every
other matter connected therewith ; and also to call for,
have access to, and examine all such official hooks, docu-
ments, papers, and records, as may afford the fullest in.
formation on the subject, and to inquire of and concerning
the premises by all other lawful ways and means whatso-
ever. And we do hereby give and grant to you, or any
three or more of you, full power and authority, when the
same shall appear to be requisite, to administer an oath
or oaths to any person or persons whatsoever to be ex-
amined before you, or any three or more of you, touching
or concering the premises. And our further will and
pleasure is, that you, or three or more of you, de, and
shall within the fpace of one year after the date of this our
commission, or sooner, if the same can reasonably be,
certify to us in our Court of Chancery or Parliament,
under your hands and seals respectively, your several pro-
ceedings in this matter, as the same shall be respectively
completed and perfected, particularly how far it may be ex.
pedient to combine both statutes so digested into one body
of the criminal law, repealing all other statutory provisions,
or how far it may be expedient to pass into a law the first
mentioned only of the said statutes, and generally how
far it may be expedient to consolidate the other branches
of the existing statute law, or any of them ; and we
will and command, and by these presents ordain, that this
our commission shall continue in full force and virtue, and
that you our said commissioners, or any three or more
of you, ma} from time to time proceed in the execution
thereof, and of every matter and thing therein contained,
although the same be not continued from time to time by
adjournment. And we do hereby direct and appoint that you,
or any three or more of you, may have liberty to certify your
several proceedings from time to time to us in our said Court
of Chancery, as the same shall be respectively completed and
perfected. And we hereby command all and singular our
justices of the peace, sheriffs, mayors, bailiffs, constables,
officers, ministers, and all other our loving subjects what-
soever, as well within liberties as without, that they be
assistant to you and each of you in the execution of these
presents. And for your assistance i❑ the due execution
of this our commission, we have made choice of our trusty
and well-beloved James Lonsdale, gentleman, to be Secre-
tary to this our commissiun, whose services and assistance
we require you to use from time to time as occasion shall
require.
"In witness whereof we have caused these our letters
to be made patent. Witness ourself, at Westminster, on
the 23d day of July, in the 4th year of our reign.

" BATHURST."

The Paris Papers of Wednesday have been
received. They contain no news from Spain,
but state that the meeting of the Northern So-
vereigns is to take place at Friedland. The
Emperor NICHOLAS appears to be non est
inventus, for no account of the steamboat in
which he embarked had been received at Trop-
pau, and much uneasiness was consequently
felt for his safety by the Prussian Princes who
had been sent to welcome his arrival.

Neufchatel has at length submitted to the Fe-
deral Diet, and thereby has deprived the Aus-
trians and Prussians of any pretext for military
interference.

The chateau lately purchased by Prince
TALLEYRAND for the Duchess de DINo, in
Switzerland, was burnt to the ground on the
4th inst :
The Conslitutionnelle of Netifehotelois announces that
the legislative body of Neufchatel, in a sitting held on
the 6th inst., came to the following resolution The
legislative body having taken cognizance at a letter from
the Federal Directory, dated 3d inst., transmitting to the
Council of the State a resolution of the Diet of the same
day, containing a summons to the State of Neufchatel to
send Deputies to the Diet by the 11th inst., under a
threat of military execution in case of non-appearance,
i❑ consequence of the advice of our Council of State, and
with a view to preserve the subjects of his Mjesty and
the State from the misfortunes which might arise from a
military occupation, ord tins,
I. A deputation from the State of Neufchatel, ap•
pointed by the Legislative Body shall proceed to Zurich by
the 11th inst., in order to attend the sittings of the Diet,
after having taken the oath prescribed by the Federal Act
of August 7, 1815.
2. The deputation is authorised to declare that the
State of Neufchatel has never contracted towards other
States any engagement contrary, or even foreign to the
compact; but that the Conference alluded to in the deci-
sio❑ of the Diet, under the name of " Conference of
Sarnen," having been dissolved, the State of Neufchatel,
consequently, no longer forms a part of it.
3. The legislative body feels it to be its duty to declare,
on this occasion, that in complying with the summons of
the Diet, it does not wish any inference to be drawn from
this act, contrary to the integrity of the Constitution gua-
ranteed by the Confederation, or to the rights of his
Majesty the King of Prussia, as Sovereign Prince of
Neufchatel and Valenzin.

4. Considering the urgency of circumstances, the
legislative body trusts to the prudence of the deputies. With
regard to their conduct at the Diet, they are to be guided
by the compact of 1815, and demand instructions wren
they shall deem it necessary.
5. The Council of State filiall be invited to announce to

the Federal Directory, as soon as possible, that the depu-
tation of Neufchatel will appear at the Diet by the 11th
instant. This paper also announces that Messrs. de
Wesdeblen and Terusse have been elected Deputies to
the Diet.

The Augsburg Gazette of the 7th contains the follow-
ing of the 2d from Vienna :—" The last accounts from
Prague confirm the report that the interview between the
Monarchs of Russia, Prussia, and Austria, will not take
place at Troppau, but at Friedland, a small town in the
circle of Bunzlau, in Bohemia.

" Business continues to be very flat on our Exchange,
which is partly owing to the apprehensions of many spe-
culators, who imagine that the decisions of the approaching
Congress of Sovereigns may lead to war, and partly to the
stagnatio❑ and uncertainty now prevailing on all the ques.
tions connected with the general interests of Europe.
Among these are the affairs of Portugal, Belgium, Swit-
zerland, Italy, and Germany, to which some add those of
Turkey and Egypt, asserting that the Envoys from France
and England at Constantinople are constantly endeavour-
ing to disturb the close alliance of the Porte with Russia,
which gives them so much umbrage.

Extract of a letter from Havre, on the Frontiers o
Poland, dated Aug. 27.:

"Tire late disturbances in various parts of Poland have
subsided. Such of the insurgents as have not made
their escape across the frontiers have fallen into the hands
of the Russians, who, relieved from their fears, now give
themselves up to vengeance. More than 4,000 persons,
the greater part of them belonging to the most distin-
guished families, gorge the prisons of Poland. The
mere suspicion of an insurgent having touched the estate
of a proprietor is sufficient for the latter to be treated as
a criminal, and many whose innocence is fully
and clearly established, are still detained in con-
finement. Among these are many old men, and even
women. Their number increases daily, and the only
diminution it experiences, is by those who undergo the
capital punishment to which they are condemned, and
which has been inflicted upon a great many. The most
inquisitorial measures are resorted to, in order to extort
from the prisoners confessions as to their relations with
the inhabitants, and as to the means by which the insur-
rection was excited and upheld. The Prussian Govern-
ment vies in cruelty with the Emperor Nicholas. M.
Flotvel came to Posen in, April last, with a pretended
amnesty to such of the Polish subjects of Prussia, as,
during the late war fir independence, joined the ranks of
their brethren ; but this, after all, was nothing less than a
confirmation of the doom denounced against them—for it
did not abolish the term of imprisonment inflicted upon
minors, nor the confiscation of property : men who were
free from military duty, on account of their age or the state
of their health, have been enrolled as parole soldiers.
It is announced that the Prussian Government is about
to make forced purchases of estates to a great extent, and
transfer them to Prussians, in order, bydegrees, toextirpate
the Poles from the province. The prisoners confined for
political offences are treated with great rigour.— Galig-
nani's Messenger, Sept. 11.
BURT, SEPT. s.—The Hermione frigate, lately arrived
here, as she sailed pretty close to the cokst of Algarves,
saw the flag of Donna Maria everywhere flying. Two of
Napier's ships, one of them of the line, were at anchor in
the bay of Lagos, and several others were seen cru;zing off
the coast.

The Hermoine having cast anchor for a short time in
the bay of Algesuas, some officers went on shore, they
there learnt that four persons whose names are well known
in Lower Brittany, bad just embarked in a coasting
vessel from Portugal. They were Messrs. de la Hoopaye,
Gustavus and Adolphus, Dudure Dudandiere, and a fifth,
whose name escaped them; all had assumed the title of
Colonel at the least. The Chouan de Is Hoopaye, who
seemed to take the lead, had with him his young wife and
too servants. They came from Gibraltar on board an
English packet boat. —Moniteur, Sept. 11.
PARIS, SEPT. 10.—A traveller who has arrived from
Florence, and was witness of the arrival of the Duchess of
Berry in that city states, that the presence of the august
Princess bad excited the greatest enthusiasm. Her Royal
Highness had not left the city at the departure of our
countryman, but it seemed that she would make but a
short stay and proceed to Prague immediately.— Gazette

Tt is a curious circumstance that the negocia-
Lion between the Duke of RICHMOND and the
French post-office should have terminated with-
out the accomplishment of any of the proposed
improvements except one, viz. the extension of
the days of conveying the mail from four to
six. It was proposed to consider the practica-
bility of reducing the rate of postage ; of per-
mitting persons sending letters to forward them
without the necessity of paying beforehand ; of
allowing newspapers to pass between the two
countries either free of postage, or at a very
small charge, and other points of minor import.
The result, however, of twelvemonth's discus-
sion, has been the non-adoption of any of the
points alluded to, and the augmentation of the
rate of postage on letters received in France
from this country, in the proportion of rather
more than one-third beyond what was charged
under the old system. We do not pretend to
know where the blame ought to rest ; but we
sincerely hope it is not too late to adopt a better
course.

We are enabled to state positively that neither
the Marquis of FUNCHAL, nor any other
member of the Portuguese embassy, has received
letters from Lisbon of a more recent date than
the 27th ult. The Windsor Correspondent of
the Times, who states that the Marquis of
FUNCHAL had received accounts to the Ist
inst., has been misinformed.

A strict inquiry into the late smuggling
transaction is now going on. The :French
Ambassador, Prince TALLEYRAND, had no
other knowledge of the affair than what he
derived from the papers. The parties are
wholly unconnected with the embassy. It is
said, but we know not how truly, that they are
attaches of M. THIERS. If so, that Minister
will of course, for his own credit sake, take
proper means to punish the offenders.

Dr. Johnson complains of the disappoint-
ment which en intimate acquaintance with eminent men
often occasions. "At a distance," he says, "we see
nothing but magnificence, and sublimity, and state ; but
upon a close and familiar approach we discover narrow-
ness, meanness, and insignificance."
