FRENCH PAPERS.

CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES.--SITTING OF MARCH 14.
M. DI:PIN President.
M. Mauguin ascended the tribune. He did not come, he
said, to excite any fastidious or party discussions. Within a
short space of time tno grave events had surprised and afflicted
the country. Twice was the Administration declared in a
complete state of dissolution--a state of things which dimi-
nished the respect borne us by foreign powers, and which ob-
structed the. march of administration, ill guided by expiring
bands. It is necessary for Ministers to explain to us the cause
of these strange events. The questions which he should pro-
pose were brief. In the sitting of the 11th, he had asked Mi-
nisters, whether they were Ministers or not? And why? He
should non add a third.- Why during three weeks was the
Cabinet in state of avowed dissolution ? What were the
causes or motives of a state of dissolution so prolonged? And
how has it ceased simply by their resumption of power?
M. Guizot said that he thanked the Honourable Deputy
(M. Mauguin) for the gravity and the precision with which
he bad spoken in opening this debate, but he could not accept
the unusual form.
M. Mauguin—There is nothing unusual, and for this reason :
questions are stated verbally, and they escape the memory ; in
order to avoid this inconveninnce I have written them down.
M. Guizot repeated that the form was unusual : he neither
could nor would take any engagement on himself.—( Laughter. )
He disputed the right of a Deputy to state questions in writ-
ing and transmit them to the President ; and maintained that
Ministers were at liberty to refuse to reply. He then pro-
ceeded to his explanation: on the late Ministerial crisis. One
influential fact, he said, in the position of Ministers was, that
from the commencement of the present session a change of
political system was called for on all sides. He did not re-
proach any one for this; he merely characterized the fact as
the most remarkable point of their position. It was their
(Ministers') duty, as well as a point of honour, to continue
in the system which they considered as their best ; therefore it
was their duty to retire. He did not say that some modifica-
tions might not be made in that system ; but he did maintain
that it was the only one possible. The amnesty was the
means which had been employed to bring about a change of
system ; their (Ministers') first feelings were not unfavourable
to the amnesty ; and this was proved on several occasions, but
they considered that the proper moment must be fixed upon
for applying the measure. They were not long_ in perceiving
that the amnesty was merely a pretext ; therefore it became
the test of the abandonment and the denying of their system ;
it became an injurious measure, and amounted to a declara-
tion of the powerlessness of justice in the country. They were
naturally and successively brought to reject the amnesty.
Finally, they had been struck with discouragement, which it
would have cast amongst the supporters with which they had
resisted the Emeute, and combated the factious—they con-
sidered, too, that the amnesty would dispirit reasonable men
of the party of the Juste-milieu, since the expression must be
used ; for this party did not commence its existence in these
days ; it has always existed in France ; but it is only since
1830 that it has really been applied.—(Approbation from the
Centres—interruption.)
M. GLIZOT said he could not enter into private conversa-
tion with any Member of the Chamber.
The Duke de FITZJAMES—Why do you address your dis-
course to them ?
M. Guizot said he did not address himself to any one in
particular, and he did not know why the Honourable Member
had taken upon himself what he (M. Guizot) had addressed to
the whole Chamber. The Minister then proceeded to com-
plete his definition of the Juste-milieu, amidst the great ap-
plause of the Centres. It was, he said, to prevent the disorga-
nization of this Conservative party, that they had found them-
selves obliged to reject a measure which they had, at first,
met with such favourable feelings. He would beg per-
mission to say, that they presented a singular spectacle. They
were represented as men whose ideas differed, whose
origin was not the same, but who united their efforts to
keep together in the Ministry, in order to prevents any
liberal idea from entering it, or any principle of progress
from being followed. No, gentlemen (said M. Guizot), it
is not true that jealousy or rivalry, such as is reported, existed
in the Cabinet. No doubt, human nature is not exempt from
such feelings : but for his part, had he felt such, which might
have swelled into a cause of discord with his colleagues, he
would have cast the thought from him, as a bad action. M.
Guizot then went on to say, that the parliamentary majority
was not homogeneous. It is trying to form itself and to become
united, but it is difficult to satisfy different susceptibilities.
The moment that we had reason to believe that our resumption
of power in common would bring us a majority more compact,
or that our majority would remain true—from that moment, the
rivalitics of which so much is said, disappeared. We deter-
mined to continue united., and to re-enter the Cabinet. This
is the faithful and complete relation of what has happened.
M. Gamier Pages—Gentlemen, a few days since the Mi-
nister of Public Instruction had, in the presence of the Cham-
ber, solemnly engaged to tell the whole truth; the truth such
as could not be told until after the formation of the new Ad-
ministration. He asked Hon. Members—had the Minister
told them anything more than they might have been informed
of three days ago lie admitted, with the Minister who bad
told them so three days back, that they were in a situation of
so serious a nature, that he had been forced to come and tell
the House that the Ministers were constitutionally responsible.
What were the reasons why this situation had lasted so long?
and what had caused it to cease? The Hon. Member thought
that all rose from the kill of a personage who was in so ele-
vated a position, that he could not be named. The Ministers
had not been aware of the immense responsibility they laid
upon the Crown, by saying that they were constitutionally re-
sponsible, but that all that was being done was without their
intervention.—( Strong remonstrances from Ministers.)
Mr. Pages said, it appeared that they (Ministers) were still
not aware of this. 11e quoted their words from the Moniteur,
which he held in his hand.
M. Guizot ascended the tribune, and looked at the
,Moniteur.
M. Gamier Pages continued his development of the thesis
of responsibility, and maintained that in all cases Ministers
ought to be held responsible ; for, were it otherwise, our con-
stitution would not be complete. The orator was continually
Interrupted by the Centres.
After having said that the Fulcheron meeting was an extra-
Parliamentary and anti-Constitutional 'Act, he declared that
if three weeks back there was no ministry, neither was there
one to-day.
General Jacquemont wished to give some explanations as
to the steps which had been taken after the breaking up of
the Fulcheron meeting. A considerable number of his col-
leagues had met, and they had been of opinion that it would
be expedient to go to the Ministers in order to persuade them
not to decline continuing in office if the King should again
propose it to them.

BOURSE, M&acH 14, THREE o'CLocK.—The Rentes have
slightly improved to-day. Some of the Spanish securities have also
improved, particularly the Deferred Stock, which will be proposed
to be liquidated 4-9ths in active, and 5-9ths in passive stock. The
3 per Cents. Spanish are at 30 per cent., and the Coupons at '26.
The Spaniards are much satisfied with the last news,—namely, that
Martinez de la Rosa will quit the Presidency of the Council, and
also about the entrance of Arguelles_ into the Ministry.

SUDDEN DEATII.—On Friday the 6th instant, a
stranger, apparently about thirty years of age, went into the
White Hart Inn, Middleton, and died almost immediately.
He had in his pockets 4s. 31(1., and a card, with the name
" Thomas Joyce." He was interred at Middleton Church on
Monday, but he has not yet been owned.—Manchester

Two young Americans, highly connected in their
own country, visited Brighton lately. A gentleman to whom
they brought letters of recommendation took them to see the
Royal stables, where he showed them a pony belonging to
Mr. Hudson—" the gentleman," added he, " who made so
rapid a journey to Rome in search of Sir Robert Peel." The
reply of the Americans was the question—" Did he ride this
pony ?"

SNOW STOnNf.—We had a tremendous fall of snow
in this district on Monday evening last. Indeed, we have not
spoken with any man who remembers so heavy a fall in so
short a time. It'continued not more than three hours and
a-half, and yet so thick and fast did it descend that all the
roads in the neighbourhood were blocked up. It was several
feet deep in places where the road was previously saturated
with rain. The mail southward from this town was stopped at
the Hucks ; that from the north was set fast a few hundred
yards on this side of the Shap toll-bar. The coach and pas-
sengers were left there all night, but the guard made his way
to Kendal on one of the horses, where lie arrived before five
o'clock in the morning., and went forward with the Fair Trader
coach and six horses to Manchester. The mail coach and
passengers got here about six o'clock on the following evening.
The mails over Steinmoor were also impeded for some hours
by the storm. The warmth of the weather on the sub-
sequent day or two opened the roads where there were no drifts,
and where there were, work men were employed to clear them.
They are now perfectly passable, although on the mountains a
considerable weight of snow still remains. We fear there will
be some losses on the sbyep farms, hut as et we have not
-heard of any worth naming. —lferrial Mercury.

LONDON.
MONDAY EVENING, MARCH 16, 1835.

We have received the whole of the Paris Papers of
Friday and Saturday. A Cabinet has at last been formed,
which has the merit of being composed of tried mate-
rials, all the members having previously assisted at the
councils of the most Christian King. The list which
was published in the Moniteur of Friday runs thus :
The Duke de Broglie, President of the Council and Minister
for Foreign Affairs.
Marshal Maison, War (Admiral de Rigny acting ad in-
terim).
M. Duperre. Marine.
M. Thiers, Interior.
M. Guizot, Public Instruction.
M. Persil, Justice.
M. Duchatel, Commerce.
M. Humann, Finance.

Thus the fable of the mountain in travail has again
been exemplified, as it almost continually is, in what-
ever is undertaken by the Citizen KING. Like a
mouse in a circular revolving cage, he wearies himself
to no purpose, for the race, when ended, brings him no
nearer the goal than when he started. It is entirely up-hill
work, and at the instant he imagines his toils at an end,
away rolls the object of all his solicitude, and the Sisyphine
task must be commenced anew. We pity his weak-
ness; we blame his inconsistency; we deprecate his po-
litical apostacy. But no man in his proper senses
would thus continue to sport with the passions of a
jealous, powerful, and easily excited people. Is it to
be supposed that the people of France will rest satisfied
with the conduct of a King, who, in a fit of ill-humour,
kicks his Cabinet to pieces, and then keeps the De-
puties of the empire idle, the public business at a stand-
still, and the nation in a state of dangerous excitement,
until he is pleased topatch it up again after the old fashion?
Such imbecilities remind one too much of the freaks
of infancy, in the construction of baby-houses, to
command attention, or ensure respect. It is reported
that there is to be a general amnesty—his MAJESTY
has declared it, notwithstanding his past opposition to
that measure ; and as a sample of political honesty,
we have M. PERSIL appointed to carry it into effect.
This Minister was the first to enter his solemn
protest against it, when it was first recommended
by Marshal GERARD ; and on the resignation of
that Minister, he declared that he would not
continue to sit for one hour with any Mi-
nistry capable of entertaining such a proposition.
As for M. GUIZOT and M. THIERS, they were
not on speaking terms, so recently as within the last
fortnight ; and both had publicly avowed themselves
inimical to the Duke DE BROGLIE. THIERS pro-
tested on Tuesday last, that he never would be pre-
vailed upon to join the Doctrinaires ; and on Friday
his name appeared in the Monitcur, as one of the
chosen champions of that body. After this; there is
nothing astonishing in the apostacy of the Tories.
France is well able to compete with England,. in the
article of political profligacy.
The Deputies, as may be expected, are extremely
indignant at the shameless manner in which they have
been trifled with and duped. In the Chamber, on
Saturday, explanations were demanded, which, when
given, appeared only to irritate them in a still greater
degree. An extract from the debate is given in
another part of The Sun, and will be read with
lively intere;.4. What renders the whole airair the more

vexatious, is that Marshal MAIsoN is at present at Sc..
Petersburg, whither a messenger has been dispatched
for him ; and, as it is conjectured that he will not ac-
cept office, there may be another dissolution of the
Cabinet before the close of the present week. We do
not envy SEBASTIAN! and SOULT the enjoyment of
their private feelings on this occasion. Both these
noblemen have been put to great trouble, the former
at the risk of his life (for he was dangerously ill when
leaving London), for apparently no earthly object but
to expose them to the jeers and scoffings of their political
opponents, and to insult them by proposals which they
could only accept, by renouncing their principles, and sa-
crificing their honour. As the representative of his
SOVEREIGN at the British Court, SEBASTIANI
must be sensible of the derogation he has suffered, and
of the effect which it must have on the opinions
hitherto entertained of him by English statesmen.
And yet all this shuffling trickery—all this returning
of the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the
mire—would at once be put an end to, were the KING
to leave the Cabinet in the free exercise of its re-
sponsible acts.

Arrivals from the Hague to the 12th, and from
Berlin to the 3d inst. have been received. The Rus-
sian garrison at Warsaw is to be re-infoteed early in
the Spring, and a considerable detachment of troops
stationed there are to be sent to join the reviews in
Silesia. The condition of the unfortunate Poles is
represented as in the last degree deplorable. Cold,
hunger, and want, in every shape, make fearful
ravages among them. The failure of the harvests
during the last two seasons, has put it out of
the power of even the better disposed adherents of the
Emperor to relieve them. Still, amidst all their suf-
ferings, they cling to the hope that their liberties will
yet be restored to them, and that Poland will yet
assume her former place among the nations of Europe.

We have received Brussels and German papers, the
former to the 15th inst., the latter of various dates.
The Belgian Minister of War has issued orders to the
commanders of corps, to grant a furlough to one hun-
dred men out of each battalion. The Brussels jour-
nals further state that the ship, Esperancc, reported to
have been lost in the late storm, was safe at Flushing
on the 13th inst. The Chambers arc engaged in
amending the laws for the regulation of trade and com-
merce.

The German Papers announce that the King of
BAVARIA has given orders for the recal of all the
troops which his MAJESTY had previously sent to the
assistance of his son ()TIM, King of Greece. It
were well, if, along with the Bavarian troops, his
MAJESTY could be prevailed upon to recal the Bava-
rian favourites of the youthful Sovereign, and so open
a passage to the foot of the throne to the natural sub-
jects of King OTHO. It only maddens the Greeks
to be called free, whilst they are treated as aliens in
their own country, and as strangers at the Court of
their lawful Sovereign.
The death of the late Emperor of AUSTRIA con-
tinues to engross much of the attention of the German
Journalists. The following important extracts from
the Austrian Observer, will be read with interest :
VIENNA, MARCH s.—his Imperial Majesty has been pleased
to address the following letter to the Chancellor, Prince
Metternich.

" Dear Prince Metternich,—ln order to execute in the fullest
manner the last will of my most revered and beloved father,
I commission TOII to take care that the annexed extract of his
testament shall be made known to every person in my domi-
nions. The affecting expression which it contains of the love
of the deceased for his people, of his gratitude to the army,
and the servants of the State who have faithfully done their
duty, will certainly raise for him an imperishable monument in
the hearts of all those concerned, and give to all, as it does to
me, a new motive diligently to persevere in the course which
his instructions and his example have pointed out to us.
" FERDINAND.
EXTRACT FROM TIIE WILL OF lIIS LATE MAJESTY, TEE EMPEROR
FRANCIS 1., SECTION 14:—
"To my subjects I bequeath my love. I hope that I shall
be able to pray to God for them, and I call on them to show
to my legitimate successor the safe loyalty and affection that
they have manifested to me, in times both of prosperity and
adversity. To my faithful army I give my cordial thanks for
the service which it has rendered me, and by which it has pre-
served my throne. I invite it to show the same devotion and
affection to my successor. To all persons in office, who have
served me well, I hereby return thanks."
His Majesty has addressed a letter to Count Hardegg, Pre-
sident of the Aulic Council of War, announcing that he has
conferred on his brother, the Archduke Francis Charles, the
rank of Major-General.
On the 4th March a Royal Rescript was read in the As-
sembly of the Estates of Hungary, announcing the death of
the Emperor of Austria, and the accession of the Emperor
Ferdinand. His Majesty solemnly engages to maintain unim-
paired the laws, privileges, liberties and immunities of the
Hungarian kingdom, and its dependencies, and orders that the
Diet now sitting shall continue, being convinced, says his
Majesty, " that it is the most worthy manner of showing our
gratitude to our august Father, now received into the man-
sions of the blessed, if by means of wise laws he has given us
an opportunity of enacting for the public good, a monument of
filial love shall be erected to his pious memory after his death,
by us, and by you, faithful and beloved, whom ho also consi-
dered as his children."

Solemn silence, and a feeling of profound sorrow, prevailed
during the reading of the Royal Rescript, after which the as-
sembled States broke out into extatic exclamations for the
welfare of the new Sovereign.

Madrid journals to the Gth instant have been re-
ceived, which state that M. MARTINEZ DE LA
ROSA has resolved to resign the Premiership to Count
ToRENO, as the delicate state of his health renders re-
pose absolutely necessary. M. ARGUELLES has been
put forward as Secretary of State, and M. GUERRA
as Minister of the Interior. Other appointments are
rumoured, but it is doubtful whether there be any
proper grounds for theirs.
It appears from the Bayonne journals that the belli-
gerents in the Basque provinces are preparing for some
hard fighting, as soon as the weather will permit them
taking the field with any prospect of good roads and
dry muskets. Some skirmishes have recently taken
place, in which the Carlists report that the Royalists
were defeated; but no reliance can be placed on the as-
sertions of either party. The truth can only be
learned from the byestanders.

Private intelligence from Lisbon dated the Bth inst.
has been received. The Carnival passed over with-
out the slightest disturbance, the people indulging in
all the gaieties usual on such festivals. In the
Chambers sonic discussions have arisen on the immo-
rality of the Clergy, and particularly the danger
of appointing Priests, who during the late civil war
ranged-themselves under the banners of Don MIGUEL.
M. MANUEL PASSAS, a Priest, made a motion in
the Chamber for the abolition of the law which en-
forces the compulsory celibacy of the Clergy. The
motion after a brief debate was rejected, some of the
Ministers voting for, and others against it. M. M.
PASSAS was greatly enraged at this rejection, and
accused the Cabinet of truckling to the Court of
Rome. The subject is too important to be easily
forgotten, and M. M. PAS3AS declares that he

will bring it again and again before the Cham-
cr, until he succeeds in awakening the eyes of
Lie Legislature. However salutary such a measure
might prove to the best interests of religion, it is im-
passible not to be satisfied, that its approval by the
Portuguese Government would create a most dangerous
;ilium, among the ignorant and superstitious populace.
There is a time for every thing but sin, saith the
Psalmist ; and in the present case, the time for im-
troving this branch of ecclesiastical polity in Portugal
is not the present. His Royal Highness PRINCE
AUGUSTUS and the QUEEN are greatly beloved by
'toe inhabitants of Lisbon.

The Dublin Evening Mail of Wednesday contains,
among several other rare, curious, and most praise-
worthy specimens of advertised loyalty and religion,
an address to our Most Gracious Sovereign from the
members of the Shilelagh District Orange Lodge, in the
countyof Wicklow, which is too characteristic of the pa-
tiotic sentiments of that most loyal fraternity, and holds
out. too excellent an example, in these wayward times,
to the less ardent loyalists of Great Britain, to obtain no
greater notoriety than is usually awarded•to an adver-
tisement in a provincial newspaper. The example set
b 7 the Orangemen of " Shilelagh" cannot fail to inspire
every lover of the British Constitution with sentiments
orly second to their own in ardent, devoted attachment
tothe altar and the throne ; and as to valour, who ever
questioned the courage of the Shilelagh boys ? But
before making another observation on the happy results
which must follow the publication of this precious do-
cument—this assurance of safety and protection offered
to " an anointed King"—this tribute of thankfulness
to a Sovereign for having been regally pleased to play
the wanton with his cabinet and the country—we beg
leave to submit the address itself, as presented to the
King, to the consideration of the British people :
TO THE KING'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY.

" We, your Majesty's loyal subjects, the undersigned mem-
bers of Kilpipe Orange Lodge, 1694, in the district of Shi-
lelagh and county of Wicklow, beg leave to offer the most
humble assurance of our devoted attachment to your Majesty's
royal person and throne, and determination to defend to the last
sacrifice the just prerogatives of the Crown, so recently and
firmly exercised by your Majesty in the dismissal of your late
Ministers, so soon as your Majesty discovered their measures
inimical to Prctestant institutions and privileges. And we
here express our heartfelt gratitude for your Majesty's Royal
and gracious declaration in favour of our persecuted Church,
, and fir calling to your Majesty's Councils men in whom WE
place the most implicit confidence, earnestly hoping that a wise
Providence may so order and direct all their consultations to
the advancement of his glory, the good of his Church, the
safety, honour, and welfare of your Majesty and dominions.
" To support the dignity, honour, and independence of the
Throne, is the bounden duty of Orangemen, and when we de-
sert our Protestant King William IV., may God desert us
and our families ! ! !
" In conclusion, we pray that long life, health and happiness
may be spared to your Majesty, to uphold those Protestant
principles which we trust will ever influence the members of
your Majesty's most illustrious House."
We do not believe that there is an individual " with-
in the four seas" with a heart so callous as not to be
filled with a sense of his own unworthiness, as a Bri-
tish subject, on the perusal of the above address. The
self-sacrificing loyalty—the soul-soaring piety—the
heaven-directed zeal which runs through it, are almost
too exalted for the cold, plodding, matter-of-fact com-
prehension of a simple-minded Englishman ; and as for
the " may God desert us and our families r —that
sublime specimen of loyal and religious imprecation—
, he could never ascend to anything so exalted in ad-
dressing his Sovereign. Appended to the address is
a copy of a letter from Mr. GOULBURN, to the
Orange loyalists of Shilelagh, informing them of his
MAJESTY'S most gracious acceptance of it. If the
heartfelt thanks of those whose sole right to offer
thanks is derived from an attachment to those princi-
ples which placed the present Royal Family on the
British throne, be acceptable to the patriotic Orange-
men of Shilelagh, we most respectfully present our's at
the feet of their Grand Master, whom, we find, among
other secrets, has been entrusted with the sole causes
of the dismissal of the late Cabinet. The revelation
is made in the address, and truly we are glad of it ; for
before meeting with it in the Mail, we were at some
loss to determine the causes of that event, although we
had long known the instruments by whom it was both
instigated and accomplished.
Countenanced and supported by the Orange Lodge
of " Shilelagh," his MAJESTY may bid defiance to all
the wicked machinations of the enemies of the altar
and the throne. Heaven grant their zeal do not
carry them too far, and that we may not have, in a
week or two, to apprise the public of their appearance
at Windsor to defend the Castle of St. George
against the attacks of the rebellious Whigs. Falstaff
was a very jackpudding in valourous daring compared
with the Orangemen ; and as for valourous deeds, the
gallant Knight's defeat of the dead Percy is but a pro-
totype of a million of victories which these heroes are
ready to achieve over foes equally objects of trepida-
tion. Thanking the Orangemen of " Shilelagh" for
the many sacrifices which they are prepared to make in
support of our " Protestant" KING, and the Esta-
blished Church, it may not be improper to observe
that at present, we believe, the vapour of their loyalty
will prevent any immediate attempt to overturn the
monarchy. Indeed we are not quite certain that the
Whigs meditate such treasonable designs ; but if they
have been so wicked as " devilishly to devise" acts so
shocking, we know they will not dare to dream of
executing them after perusing the glorious resolve of
the " Shilelagh" Orangemen, whose patriotism and
piety ought to be handed down to the latest posterity. '
The Orangemen have at all times, and in all seasons,
been the chief defenders of the throne of these realms ;
and we cannot but admire their charity in not charging
the Whigs, when in office, with the suppression of
their most loyal and dutiful addresses to the throne ;
for we believe it to be a fact that Lord MELBOURNE
kept the country in total ignorance of their devotion to
the person of the KING, during the whole time the
Reform Bill was before Parliament. Now this we
maintain must have been the fault—the crime of the
Noble Lord ; for how could an Orangeman, with heaven
on his tongue, his Sovereign in his heart, and a solemn
imprecation, resting on his head, leave his MAJESTY
for two years unprotected in the hands of Whig trai-
tors? Or does any man believe that the loyalists of
Shilelagh," who, when the battle is over, bare their
blades and (Tolland to be led against the enemy, kept
back in trembling fear, and crouching silence, while
the KING'S foes were in the field, and held his sacred
person in bondage ? The idea of the bare possibility of
such an event is a monstrous injustice—a vile and most
wanton aspersion of the character of that most loyal,
dutiful, and religious body—the Orangemen of Ire-
land. We again repeat, however, that the Orangemen
need be under no serious apprehension about the
safety of the SOVEREIGN ; as we happen to know that
most of the Whigs are so simple as to be persuaded,
on the testimony of HUNIE, and other English histo-
rians, that the revolution was effected by their party ;
in consequence of which they boast of a hereditary
attachment to the House of Hanover, and, right or
wrong, arc prepared to defend the succession in that

in ustrious line. We may further observe, for the gra-
tification of the Irish loyalists, that we have ourselves
set an inquiry on foot respecting any treasonable con-
spiracy against the Crown, and that the only instances
we could discover were in the use of certain expres-
sions, by some over-zealous, but, doubtless, most loyal
and religious Orangemen, applied to the conduct of his
INIAJEsTY, with respect to certain acts of the late
Cabinet.

We have great pleasure in referring our readers to
the statement of the public revenue and expenditure
for the year ending the sth of January last, which will
be found in another part of The Sun. The total in-
come to that period amounted to 46,509,856/.105.24d.,
and the expenditure to 44,901,7001. 17s. 101 d., leav-
ing, we are happy to say, a surplus of 1,608,155/.
12s. 447 d. This is the best possible proof of the
sound state of our national resources, and of the
correctness of the principle, that increased con-
sumption almost entirely supplies the deficit in
the revenue, occasioned by the reduction of taxa-
tion. It also affords good evidence of the salu-
tary system of Government, and judicious arrange-
ments adopted by the late Ministry, to which must
in fairness be attributed so satisfactory a state of our
public finances. The surplus of revenue over the ex-
penditure, on the fifth of January, 1834, was
1,513,0001. ; and on the fifth of January last, it was
1,608,1551., notwithstanding the progressive reduction
which has taken place in taxation.

It is not true, as has been stated by more than one
Morning Contemporary, that the Marquis of LON-
DONDERRY has yet resigned his appointment to the
Russian Embassy. How soon he will adopt that dis-
creet resolution remains to be seen.

We have to apologise to our valued Correspondent,
for the delay which has taken place in the
publication of his excellent letter, which we have in-
serted in another part of this day's Sun. The cause
of the delay will be sufficiently explained by the
crowded state of our columns for some time past.
