FINANCE.

We noticed some days ago the satisfaaory state of
the Revenue. We hate now an opportunity of in:.
sorting a correct account of the Income of, and
Charge o_pon the Consolidated Fund for the quarter
ending the sth inst., as well. for the corresponding
quarter in the last year. The result of the compa-
rison is such, as to prove that the commeicial hos-
tility of our'enemies has been perfettly.unavailtog.
The revenue of Customs produced in the last quar-
ter 197,9711. noire than the same branch iii the
corresponding quarter last year ; and the revenue•of
Excise has yielded upon a similar comparison an in
crease of e 65,4831. Every .other branch. of t lie' Re-
'venue has, been equally producti,e.
As we have before stated, the sum granted by Par:
itarne,a, upon estimate, as the sorplyr• of the C,)n-
scdidated Fund to 6tll April, 1810, has already been
realized, with on excess o, 400;0001. applicable to
the service of 1810. To which service the
whole surplus et the current quarter, ending.sfh
April next, will of course be applicable; this cannot
be estimated at less than. 1,500,0001. or 1,600,0001..
making togethei about '2,000,0001. by which sum
the amount of the Loan necessary for 18 to will be
diminished.. And as the productiveness of the-Re
Venue will probably justify a vote of at leas!,
13000,0001. from the estimated surplus of the Conso-
lidated Fund, more than it was thought right to take
in 1809, the whole effect of this flourishing state of
our Finances will be, to diminish by three millions
the amount of the loan, and consequently by
160,0001. or 170,0001. the amount of the annual
Charge to be provided for in tlie ensuing Session.
We trust that this statement is- almost as satisfac,
tory as that of Mr..ALBERT GALLATIN

We have the pleasure u add, that the produce of
the War Taxes is eguaily satisfactory.

We have already mentioned that the GoVernor of
Isle Bourbon.had shot himself on the surrender .of
that places leaving a written paper behind him.—
The following is a translation of the paper in.
question :
" I 'clo not wish to be a traitor to my country ;
do not wish to sacrifice inhabitants to the useless de-
fence of a eclony opened to the enemy, according
to the consetpences which j tot esee from ilie hatred
and ambition of some individuals attached to a revo-
lutionary sect; death awaits me on the scaffold. ' I
verfer giving it to myself. I recommend my wife
and my children to Providence, and to those %Vhose
souls have sensibility."
