Louts PHILIP'S movements north-
r:r% who was to be joined at Lille on Wed-
Le(l4? by the QUEEN, as also by King
wh'3l)oLb and his wife ; the two latter of

as the same authorities report, has con-
rillei the revocation of the Salic law, and an-
tthe degree signed during his late illness.

Luis the Fourteenth, being once asked what
e'ctsidered a diplomatist to be, replied, " A
hi-""4llpith two faces and twice as many tongues."
bhe vitole art of diplomacy appears indeed to
e 'ceit. The pot-house champion at the

lo
be hearing of the Russo-Corsican, they would
per,t4inced that NICHOLAS is making a des-
e effort to confirm the power which he has

gained, and to separate the policy of our Cabinet
from that of France.

Up to the hour of our going to press, we
understand that no authentic account of the
King of HOLLAND'S answer has been received
at any of the official quarters likely to have the
first knowledge of such information. The ex-
pectation is, that the KING will not accept the
proposal of France and England in the present
shape, but that he is now disposed to meet their
views when modified in certain particulars. In
the meantime, he maintains a strict blockade of
the Scheldt.

It is said in certain circles at the West End,
that last night Ministers had made an overture
to Sir ROBERT PEEL'S party, to concur in the
propriety of adopting some decisive measures
with regard to Ireland. The answer is said to
have been in the negative.

We give the above as we have heard it, with-
out vouching for its correctness; but we do not
think that Ministers, already so strong in the
justice of their cause, would deem it necessary to
a-k the consent of Sir ROBERT PEEL'S party in
adopting any measures which the exigency of the
case might demand. We know that Ministers
have already determined to act with becoming
energy in regard to the present state of Ireland ;
and it is probable that a proclamation may ap-
pear for suppressing all associations of volun-
teers, or other illegal bodies, through whose
unruly agency Mr. O'Cor; NELL may still
hope to agitate that unhappy country. We
' hear that several regiments are now on their way
to -Ireland, for the pu Those of giving effect to
whatever line of policy it may be deemed ex-
pedient to pursue, until a Reformed Parliament
shall have devised the necessary means for re-
dressing the grievances under which Ireland has
so long laboured.

Brussels papers, of the 9th inst., inform us that
the Dutch will not allow any vessels to leave the
Scheldt, nor enter it. We suppose this is done
by way of reprisal for the capture of the citadel.
The frost will render the navigation impractica-
ble for the present month, and after that we
hope the question will be amicably adjusted.

German Papers state that the young King of
HUNGARY has passed the crisis of his disease,
and is now better :

The Morning Herald states that the answer
of the King of HOLLAND to the proposals of
the British and French Cabinets has been re-
ceived, and that it is in some degree conciliatory.
We have reason to believe that our Contempo-
rary is in error and that no answer has yet
arrived. The letter in the Herald relative to
the closing of the navigation of the Scheldt by
order of the King of HOLLAND is a literal
translation of the despatch of the Belgian
Colonel BuzEN.

The Spectator of Sunday last contained a
paragraph, stating that the CHANCELLOR of the
EXCHEQUER would, early in the approaching
Session of Parliament, bring forward a proposal
for the reduction of the stamp duty on news-
papers, but that he had not made up his mind
to a reduction of the duty on advertisements.
The Morning Advertiser of Monday doubted
the correctness of what the Spectator had stated
on the subject of the advertisement duty, and
mentioned a particular scale of reduction as
likely to be adopted by the CHANCELLOR of the
EXCHEQUER. We have reason to think that
our respectable contemporary, the Advertiser,
is in error. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHE-
QUER does not appear to have resolved upon
the reduction of the advertisement duty. Ho
stands pledged, however, to reduce the stamp
duty on newspapers, and we may expect that
measure in the course of a few weeks. What
the exact amount of the reduction will be, is not
known. Probably it will not be more than will
enable the newspaper proprietor to sell his paper
at 6d. or 51-d.; but the public, we are sure, will
not be satisfied with anything short of such an
allowance as will reduce the charge to the
public at least twopence, so that the sevenpenny
paper may be sold for fivepence. As to the
duty on advertisements, it is said, but we cannot
attach credit to the statement, that the CHAN-
CELLOR of the EXCHEQUER is indisposed to
make any reductions until an increased revenue
shall enable him to do so without imme-
diately affecting the yearly returns. His Lord-
ship seems to forget that reduction of taxation
does not necessarily imply reduction of income.
There have been many instances in which a re-
duction of two-thirds of the taxation on a com-
modity has, by increased consumption, caused a
great improvement in the revenue. Taxation
could not be reduced on any thing else, with
the same certainty of advantage to the revenue,
as on advertisements. At present the duty of
3s. 6d. on each advertisement deters the
poor tradesman from attempting that de-
gree of publicity which is essential to his
business. A duty of one shilling on long,
and of sixpence on short advertisements, would
cause an increase in the number of at least six
to one, so that the revenue would gain by the
change. Thousands who do not now adver-
tise at all would try that mode of publicity,
and others who have been accustomed to ad-
vertise in one paper only, would extend their
advertising to all the papers round. The ad-
yields, after deducting
vertisement duty now
the expense of collection, only 170,0001. per
annum, but let the duty be moderate, and it will
yield a much larger sum. The objection, there-
fore, of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
to a reduction of the advertisement duty can-
not, on any ground, be reasonably maintained.
It is, besides, the business of the CHAN-
CELLOR to see that, in a commercial country
like this, ail fair and legitimate means of obtain.
ing publicity, and of prosecuting the interest,:
of trade, be well supplied. In the United
States of America, where every man feels and
acknowledges the importance of trade, there is no
restriction of this kind, nor should there be

any here. The more trade is promoted, the
better able will the tradesman be to contribute

,he exigencies of the State.

But to meet the CHANCELLOR on his own
ground, or rather on that which he is said to
have taken, we would ask where the difficulty is
of effecting such a saving on some item of the
public expenditure as would enable him not
merely to reduce a duty which presses so
heavily upon trade, but to abolish it alto-
gether ? Lord PALMERSTON has for some
time been talking of reducing the enor-
mous expense of our diplomatic relations.
Why is not that done ? It amounts to more
than 250,000/. per annum, and might well be
reduced to 100,0001., with advantage to the
country, as all that is necessary is to replace
men of family, as they are called, and who re-
quire extravagant allowances, by men of mode-
rate habits, but real ability. But there is
another item of much greater importance, in
which a reduction ought to take place im-
mediately. The standing army was increased
by the present Ministry 9,000 men beyond the
amount which even the Duke of WELLINGTON,
an Anti-Reformer, and an enemy to public
liberty, considered necessary. As England has
been tranquillized by Parliamentary Reform, and
as Ireland is likely to be tranquillized, in a con-
siderable degree, by a healing measure of Church
Reform, surely these 9,000 men, with all their
expensive appurtenances, cannot be necessary.
Let them be reduced, and Ministers will then not
only be atilt: to abolish the advertisement duty, and
to effect, at the same time, a great saving to the
revenue, but they will make a concession to
public opinion, and render an essential service to
the country.

It has been urged as a ground for not redu-
cing the stamp duty on newspapers, to an ex-
tent
which would enable the newspaper pro-
prietors to sell them at the utmost at .sd. each,
that all the newspaper proprietors in London
do not demand a change. We believe there are
two or three newspaper proprietors who labour
under the delusion that they would be injured
by free trade, and who are desirous of prevent-
ing an extensive alteration of the existing law ;
but, even if these objections were well-founded,
we would ask whether the CHANCELLOR of the
EXCHEQUER ought to listen to them. In
other cases the Government have not thought it
right to conciliate privately, where the public
welfare was at stake. There were none of these
merciful considerations when the property of
the brewers was endangered, by throwing
open the beer trade, and we do not
see why newspaper proprietors, supposing
them to have interests which would be
affected by their trade being thrown open, should
have an indulgence extended to them which
would be prejudicial to the public good. We
deny that any newspaper proprietors would
suffer by the abolition of the monopoly, which
the high ra'e of the present duty is calculated to
preserve ; but were it evident that they must be
injured in a pecuniary point of view, that would
he preferable to the injury of the national pros-
perity, which an adherence to the present system
must certainly cause. Conciliation is out of the
question. Justice is what all have a right to
expect, whether with relation to what is due to
the newspapers, or with reference to what is
owing to the public at large.

It is a fact not generally known, that the
Four per Cents., created in the year 1526 for seven years,
expire next April ; that is to say, Government have the
power of paying off that Stock by that month, of which
Viere is every prospect, its current price being from 31
to 31 per cent. above par. Taking this for granted, the
principal object of inquiry is, as to what security will
he substituted for it. Its whole amount is between
11,000,000/. and 12,000,000/. By some it is thought
that an annuity for 70 years will be offered to the holders.
It is much more probable that either a 3 per cent., or a
31 per cent. Stock will be created with a bonus. A con-
siderable saving will at any rate be effected by this arrange-
ment, in which the CHANCELLOR of the ExerarQuEa can
only be thwarted by a heavy fall in the value of the public
securities. Here then is another strong inducement for
Ministers to pursue a " peace policy."

By the Seaforth, arrived at Liverpool from
Demerara, advices were received to the 28th of Novem-
ber, stating the colony had suffered for a considerable time
from a long continuance of dry weather, and that, what
with the effect of the Order in Council of the 24 of No-
vember, 1831 (rescinded early in November last), the loss
of labour consequent on acting up to it, and the purchas-
ing provisions for the slaves, nine months or more out of
the year, and the low price of produce, the estates yielded
but a poor return. The weather had, however, become
favourable from the 21st of November, and a good deal of
rain had fallen, which proved extremely beneficial to the
cultivation, it previ'musly having the appearance of being
burnt up and withered.

Yesterday a Court of Directors was held at
the East India-house, when the following commanders
took leave t.f the Court, previous to deputing for their
respective destinations, viz. :—Captain ROBERT LOCKE,
Duke of York; Captain Jose to DUDSIAN, Inglis, for
Bengal and China ; Captain JAst.gs KELLAWAY, Bombay,
for St. Iflena, Bengal, and Chma ; Captain Joint HIKE,
Marquis of Huntly; and Captain WALTztt H. WHITE-
HEAD, Duke of Sussex, for Bombay and China. Cap-
tain ROBERT Scorr was sworn into the command of the
sbsp Vansittart, consigned to Bengal and China.

COURT OF CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.)

The LORD CHANCELLOR sat at 10 this morning in
Lincoln's Inn Hall, and rose at 2. During the morning
he was eng,ged in hearing a motion in Hurst v. Alrock,
moved by Mr. Pepys, for an injunction on hehaT of the
plaitriff to restrain the defendant from working. a mine
called the Great Rake in Deri•yshire, on the ground that
it was a pert of the Glory Mine, to which the plaintiff
had an indisputable title. Ti e same motion was midi-
before his Honour the Vice-Chanc-Ilo!. who refused
with costs, therefore the present application was in the
nature of an appeal motion.
