PARIS, FEB. 22.—:His Majesty the King has pardoned
a part of the persons who went to Poland; about 650
in number. Printed -communications, signed by the
President of the province-and the Chief President of the .
Court of Appeal, respecting Their part'on, have been at•nt
to them, and they are only dc;elareil to be hound to 'pay the
costs of the proceedings, arrain•t ' thrim. Theme are pro-
- babiy hut few of them who are in a'conditiOn to be called
uuon'to do this, as the greater part of them are miners,
or persons without pr!perty.' No persona holding office,
or imlividna!s of distinction, arc in the lists of pardoned.
It is aid that those who held offices without sal..ry can as.
little hope to be again 'employed in ti .e public service, as
the richer individuals can expec' pardon on the same
terms as those ab ,ve mentioned. It is reported the latter
will have to give a fifth part of their property to the fond
• for redeeming the delft' of the ptovince.—Allgemeine

NUREMBURG, MARCH 4.—The Bishop and Chapter of

the States aaainst the spit itual stir! Ileac), over the Catholic
Church which the new Consti!ution gives to the King ;
and the Bishop of H Rd, rbeim, aft, r protesting,both verbally
and in writing, even quitted the Chamber. As all this
wes of no avail, the Bishop and Chapter of Hilderheim,
have addressed a ; rotest to the Cabinet Ministry and to :the
Assembly of the Stites, in which they recapitulate their
preceding application.; and, lamenting that they have been
fruitless, say.—" We are placed • under the disagreeable
• necessity of formally guarding the Catholic Church and
ourselves against the articles which it ha's keen
- • • '

r€solved to introduce into the Constitution,

specting• the relation of the Church to the State„
so fax as they are . contrary to its rights, and' to
protest against them. Regretting thtt we are obliged to
make this declaration, which we request may be inserted
in the Journals of the As-embly, we indulge in the hope
that it will he looked upon as a step which our duty and
conviction call on us to take. We embrace this opportu-
nity to assure the Assembly of our prof und resrect.

I.OIVDON,
TUESDAY EVENING.• MARCH 12, 1833.

The Parliamentary proceedings of last night
present but little matter of interest. The peti-
tions presented against the Irish Coercive Bill
increase every day in number and importance;

and yesterday was marked by the presentation of
the L''iyer .petit ion, isigned.'by 15,000 persons,
which we musk beg leave to consider as expres-
..

The intimation given by Lord ALTHORP a
few nights back of the intention of his Ma-
jesty's Government to consolidate the Boards
of Customs and Excise, cannot have failed to
-give great satisfaction to all acquainted with the
manlier in which those patronage nests have been :
used It is true that there have been both in
the Customs and Excise a great number of
retrenchments within the last few years, without
any serious advantage to the public, in the total
amount of salaries saved, but with much real
injury as regards the service which the parties
who ' received their dismissal had to perform.
In the Customs, for - instance, the number of
inferior officers, whose duty it. was to superintend
the wharfs, anti watch the arrival of vessels, has
been so reduced, that smuggling is now carried
on in the port of London almost with impunity,
and yet none of the rerresentations on this sub-
ject, made by the Surveyors, have been attended
to by the Board. But have 'we heard of exten-
sive retrenchments among the higher salaried
Officers of the CustOms ? Is it not notorious that
the real business of the Board of Customs is car-
rie d on by one-third of the Commissioners who
are paid by the public at so enormous a rate,
and that a reduction of at least 50, per cent.
might he effected on the salaries or. persons re-
ceiving more than 500/. per annum, without
the slightest de:rimentio the public service ? In
the year 1797, the number of persons employed
in the Customs and Excise was about
.12,600,
and the amount of salaries rather more than
750,000/. In the year 1827, the number had
increased to nearly 18;000 persons, partly by
the -increase or business, but more. particularly
by thesystem of patronage by—whiCh the
.overn-
went of - the-intervening!Period was carried on.
"I.lie :Aahtries, in the Meantime, had risen to
. wore than 1,700,0001:; 'on account, as it was
said, of.the increase in "the price of lit'ing occa-
,ioneel by` the war. It is but an act of, justice
t.‘ei ,the Dukt 'or Wxt.ilN6T6N, in the first
1
,ilkstatti*, , but more particularly to the present
. . Minister;rpaterial
y r
t7j state,ueet
l th
that
numberhatbt of persons, antihheandtheyhave
-the "amount of salaries in these two establish-
ments. But is it not high time to effect a general
reform in the principle on which the salaries were
increased by at least one..third? Nothing could
have been more fair than that the salary of an
individual receiving less than 2001. a year should
he raised to meet the rise in the price of provi-
Sinus ; but was the saine scale teiplicable to the
man v‘ho was reccivi-g 5001. a year, and
%Itose luXuriess—not coNforts--W.ould. therefore
be Affected by a rise in the price of provisions)
on account of the 'war.? 'Can anything be more
absurd than to lay it tkiwn as a principle that
because the quartern loaf' tray be dearer at one
time than another, the.' public functionary who
receives 1,000/. per annum, is to be entitled to
, he same proportion of increase as the poor strug..
;;ling tide-waiter or exciseman, who has a fimily
to support, upon less than. 100/. a year ? In
addition to reducing the number of superior.
officers in the customs and excise, whose services
are not required, it would be but fair to make a
deduction from the salaries of those who remain,.
wherever they exceed 2001. a year, nearly, if not
entirely, equal to the rate of increase which they
received, owing to the change from peace to war.
We would not, however,' apply this p:inciple too
rigorously to those who have low salaries, so as
to abridge, their comforts, and deprive them of
the remuneration Cirly.
.doe to them for the
arduous 'duties which they' have to inn. It- is
in the power of Ministers, by consolidating these
Boards to effect a saving of nearly half a million
annually without injury
.to the public service,
and without the charge Of cruelty towards the
persons employed. We trust, therefore, that
the report in circulation will prove correct, and
.
that the Government will redeem every pledge
ihat it made upon coming into office.

The Revenue Returns for the past week were
very favourable ;. but the financial year is likely,
on the whole, to turn out much worse than was
expected a moruh,or two ago. Lord LTHO RP
thought there would be a surplus of half a mil-
lion. No such hope is now entertained.
