The Navy of England is a favourite of the
nation. It has peculiar claims on the attention
of the
,public, and on the liberality of Parlia-
ment. It is far this reason we suppose that the
Navy Estimates have been for the most part al-
lowed to pass quietly through the House of Com-
mons, and diffuse expenditure in this branch of
the public service more lightly regarded than in
any other. But, nevertheless, they met with
some opposition last night in bringing up the
Report of the Committee of Supply ; and although
we rank ourselves amongst the most strenuous
supporters of the Wooden Walls of Old
England, we confess we feel, upon the
w hole, rather glad of it. It is an earnest
wish that Parliament will sift to the bottom the
Estimates of every other branch 6f the Public

mice, nod we trust the Army Estimates will not
escape the scrutiny and opposition of the lovers of
public economy in the House of Commons. At a
time like the present, when the nation is labouring
under the most severe pressure, and when the
administration neglecting every other opportunity
have ill advisedly selected this as a fit and

proper Season to commence a return to me-
tank - currency, it behoves the trustees of
the Public Purse to look to their charge, and
see that its contents are not too speedily dissipat-
ed in vain extravagance or useless establishments.
Every man at all alive to the state of the Coun-
try, must see that the current quarter's revenue
swill prove in all probability alarmingly dificient,
,and it is, therefore, absolutely essential that our
expenditure should be diminished, so as to balance
the difference as nearly as may be. A reduction
of taxes, under these aspects, appears to us as
beyond hope, and greatly although pleasantly
surprised shall we be if the CHANCELLOa of the
ER shall, on Monday next, in opening
the Budget, hold out a prospect of remission of
any part of the public burdens. And here the
dead weight comes again. Go whore we will,
do ‘llipt we will, we still meet it; it
enters into every transaction however trivial, and
affects every contract, from the purchase of a
ships cargo to the buying of an ounce of tea.

The Austrian Observer to the 10th ofFebruray,
received this morning, brings advices from Corfu
to the , Bth of January, which carry direct con.
tradiction to the intelligence we !Rely gave from
the rvierea, aii 0.1:11.0.F from the French Papers.
These accounts continue to be favourable to the
Ottoman Porte, but their silence as to Misso•
longhl must lead us to imagine it still holds out.
It wants but this information to complete the
embarrassment under which any negocietion be.
tween Turkey and Russig on the affairs of the

Greeks must be undertaken. The following are
extracts :
CORFU, JAN. 8.
The rainy weather, which has prevailed for some weeks, is a
great impediment to the operations of Ibrahim Pectin and the
Seraskier Redachid against Illissolonghi. They are both still
before that place, and seriously engaged in making the neces,
nary preparations for another attack.
The English ship the Chanticleer arrived here to-day from
Zante and the vicinity of .111issolonghi. .A report was imme-
diately spread that at the beginning of this month about 40 sail
of Greek ships had again appeared near Missolonglii, whiclf
had induced the Captain Pacha to retire into the Gulf of Le-
panto. The truth, however, is, that the English sloop, which
was said to have brought; this news, having attempted to ap-
proach Missolonghi, was hindered by the Turkish fleet which
was near it, so that the above story falls to the ground of itself.
But we have learnt, by the Veloce brig, that 10 Greek vessels
were cruising on the 4th near Zante.
Ibrahim Pacha being at so great a distance from Tripolizza,
the Greek Government, it is said, resolved to send a corps
against that town. The famous Ex-General Rossirol was to
Command this corps, the strength of whicht is stated at 4000
men ; but he having died suddenly, the command devolved on
an Englishman. Scarcely had the news of this expedition,
which is far from being confirn-asl, reached this place, when,
notwithstanding its evident improbability,' the taking of Tri-
polizza was generally announced among the Greeks residing
there.

The last accounts from Jassy, dated 27th January, are very
satisfactory respecting the sanitary state of the two principali-
ties. The severe cold which has long prevailed has produced
the happiest effect in this respect is, that there is no new case
of plague at Jassy, and that none of the individuals who were
in the lazzaretto of Ulintsa has been ill. '

The accounts from Fochschan and 0- allstz are equally. satis-
factory in this respect. The contagion haA entitely ceased at
these two places as well as at Braila.

extracts :

COLOGNE, FEU. 12.
M. Von Ingers lichen; Minister of State and First President,
has published a Decree, the object of which is to prevent per-
sons from evading the duty of serving in the army, under the
pretext of devoting themselves to the Church, without passing
any vocation and qualification for that profession ; he has there-
fore concerted with the Archbishops and Bishops that no persons
shall be exempted from military service on the pica of intend-
ing themselves for the Church, unless they prove to the eccle-
siastical authorities that they really arc qualified for that im-
portant professions.

NORTHUMBERLAND ELECTION..
NEWCASTLE•UPON•TYNE, FED. 20.—1 t is im-
possible. to :describe the intensity of the Eke,
tion bustle this day. A Middlesex contest is
perhaps the nearest parallel. At an early hoUr
th:s morning immense, convoys of carriages, be-
sides equestrians, occupied the high road to Aln-
wiCk. In point of splendour and dash, Mr.
LIDDELL'S equipages far outshone those of his
opponent ; the rich silken flags, and gay cockades
(scarlet and white) of the former, putting con-
siderably iu the back ground the sombre me-
lange of light and dark blue, which are the dis-
tinguishing dolours of the latter Gentleman. As
has been all along intimated in THE SUN, public
opinion still runs in favour of the honourable
Heir of Ravensworth. In confirmation of this,
innumerable bets have been made, TWO to ONE,
that he is the sitting Member roe Northumber-
land.--The following appears in the Tgne Mer-
cury this evening
" Various contradictory reports being in circulation as to the
part which Dlr. Beaumont intends to take at the ensuing
election, we are authorised to state that Mr. Beaumont's vote and
interest will be given to Mr. LIDDELL upon the present occa.
sion, but that he will most rigidly adhere to his determination,
already expressed, to avoid a coalition with any candidate what.
ever at the general election for the county."
The same Paper says—
Ain BELL having shewn the cloven foot of illiberality on
the Catholic Question, the general feeling is against him. Be
came forward, professing to act upon the principles of the late
Mt. Brandling ; and yet, upon one of the most important poll-
tical rittestions of the day, we and him, when pressed for de-
claration of his sentiments, diametrically opposed to what had
uniformly been the opinion of Mr. Branding, viz. that it was
expedient to place our Catholic fellow subjects upon a footing of
equality with ourselves. N. tut great dissimulation,
therefore, Mr. BELL stands broadly charged. Thus, under
existing circumstances, Mr. LIDDELL is clearly entitled to the
support of every intelligent and independent freeholder of the
co."
Mr. BEAUMONT, the actual Member for North--
umberland, arrived here last night. lie set off,
about four this afternoon, for Alnwick, in a chaise
and four, amid the loud cheers of the a.s4embled
multitude. As is intimated in the local Journal
I have quoted this evening, he will give a decided
support to the HEIR of RAVENSWOItTII at the
present Election.
I cannot conclude without adding, that the
friends of the lion. Mr. LIDDELL feel most confi-
dent of success.

We are sorry to announce, that his MAJESTY
is confined at the Royal Lodge, Windsor, by an
extremely severe fit of the gout.

It is much to be regretted that Lord GR
VILLE'S health, or retirement from public life,
should prevent his taking a part in the present
important discussion in Parliament, on which his
truly Statesmanlike mind would throw the most
valuable light.

Adiniral-OTwAY is appointed Commander-in-
Chief on the South American station, in the room
of Admiral Sir GEORGE EYRE, whose period of
service is expired.
Mr. WALLACE, the Master of the Mint, we ure
happy to state, is considerably recovered from
his late severe indisposition.
The remains of L. A. GoLnscristinT passed
Finsbury-square yesterday at twelve o'clock, for
the place of interment. As usual with the per-
sons of his nation, the burial takes place in forty-
eight hours after death.

Consols—Westerday, closed - • * 781

After the Close

78}

This morning opened

There has been a re-actionin.Consols, as must
have been expected, under the continued, and still,
increasing, pressure of commercial 'and financial
embarrassment. This morning's post announces
the stoppage of three Country Banks, whicH
with the rumoured difficulties of a London
House of consequence, knocked down Con-
sols from 781,
.the opening price, to 77f to
which they had descended, by twelve o'clock.
Money Stock has also given way. The quo-
tation of Consols at one o'clock is 771
It were difficult to say where pecuniary em-
barrassment is most heavily felt. In Town
discounts, generally speaking, are imprac-
ticable—in the Country confidence is complete-
ly' suspended. A t Birmingham the Bankers
pay their drafts in sovereigns—declining
any further issue of small notes, from the
rapidity with which any such issue is pre-
sented at the counter. The usual course of
transactions between the country banker and his
customers—merchants, manufactures, and traders,
is altogether annihilated. Discounts are so gene-
rally declined, that the hill even of a banker can-
not be melted at a neighbouring bank. All being
thus thrown on their individual resources, when
those fail, as must be the. result with very many,
a crisis of difficulty will arrive, greatly surpass-
ing what has yet been felt. Those only who are
conversant with the course of business in manu-
facturing districts, can appreciate the embarrass-
ment occasioned by the suspension of that confi-
dence on which credit is supported. Heretofore,
the manufacturer paid in the Bills received for
Goods to his Banker—from whom he received
notes, with which the labour of the week was paid.
But when that chance of supply is stopped, by his
declining to issue notes in the usual course, where
is the source from which the artisan and labourer
can be paid ?—whether the circulating medium
be Bank of England notes, or gold, it is alike be-
yond his power to procure it for any thing but'
Bankers' paper. Bills, however respectable and
solid, drawn by individuals on London houses, or
correspondents, not hankers, are for the most part
little better than waste paper, until they arrive at
maturity. It is, in fact, matter of surprise that,
under such accumulated, trying difficulties, the
manufacturers have been able to make so firm a
stand. Gold, which now circulates where, till
within the last few weeks, it was unknown, is be-
coming a decided favourite with the people.
The manufacturing population already spew
a preference so decided for sovereigns, that they
will not touch paper, if one is to be had—and when
paid in notes, &bey, are instantly exchanged
for gold if the Bank happens to be within
reach. Such are the facts stated in letters
from varioes manufacturing districts. A general
opinion is expressed, that Bank of England one
and two pound notes will have no permanent
circulation in the country—but find their way in
weekly parcels to the Cashiers of the Bank.
A Deputation of Merchants went up this
morning from the City fur the • purpose of
laying before the GIZA NCEI.I,O IL of the Ex-
CUEQUER, a statement of the alarming increase
of pecuniary embarrasmeta, which is notoriously
extending to quarters, whose solidity of resource
was believed to he beyond the reach or any
possible difficulty—but which, in several in-
stances, are apprehended to he now in danger.

that the Burmese have made propositions of a

FRENCH PAPERS:

(From Me Etoile, dated Monday, Feb. 20.)

TR/ESTE, FEE. 7. —At length we receive news direct from
Corfu, which come down to the 25th of January. They con.
tain reports of the taking of Tripoliar.% by Colocotroni, and of
the death of Peneral Itossarol in that expedition. They add
that Ibrahim, after the check experienced before Al issolonghi,
has returned from Patras to Navarino. Colecotroni, after the
occupation of Tripelima, has turned towards Modon, in order,
if possible, to make himself master of-the place. - Itlissolonghi
is entirely free on the sea side.

PARIS, JAN. 19.—0 n the 11th January, Sir F. Adam, Go-
vernor of the lonian Islands, embarked with his whole Staff;
in the steam-boat which bears his name, to visit the islasda of
the South. He returned to Corfu on the 17th. It seems that
the object of this short voyage is to give the Islanders confi-
dence in the new means of communication which he has just
procured for them.
The presence of Commodore Hamilton has revived. the cou-
rage of the Greeks. Their fleets are at sea; the Moreotes have

(From the Pilotc of Sunday, Feb. 190
(Private Letter.)

MAYENCE, FEB. 11.—The German Journals are subject
to the censorship, and therefore obliged to be silent with re.
spect to the North and other countries. The Censors them-
selves are under the surveillance of the German Diet, as well
as of the Commission of Mayence, and every thing is set to
work to dispel every suspicion of change relative to: the main-
tenance of the existing system.
New confidential instructions have been sent in a confidential
form to all the German Censors. They aro enjoined to restrict
the journalists to the insertion of whit is to be found in the
Gazelle of St. Petersburgh, or the official articles published by
the Ministers at the different Courts of Europe. The only ex-
ception made is the news from Greece, published by the Paris
Journals, on condition however that the articles of the Afnatrian
Observer shall also be inserted.

As it is impossible to stop the mouths of every body, and per-
sons daily come over the frontiers of Russia and Poland, we
have learnt by the way that artillery has left Olmutz, and has
passed by way of Jareslaw to Brody. It was presumed that it
would stop at Lemberg, where troops, are assembled destined
for Malitach. It was also known that other troops drawn from
the garrison of lilausenburg and Carlsberg are proceeding to-
wards the frontiers of Moldavia and Wallachia.

It is affirmed that the object of the Marquis Ribeaupierre's
mission to Vienna is to give explanations regarding the arrest
of Prince Wabeskoi, in the Hotel of the Austrian Ainhasaador
at St. Petersburgii.
The extraordinary delays which the mission of Lord Strang-
ford has experienced are 'said to proceed from the necessity in
which his Lordship was placed of asking fresh instructions
from his Court, and it is thought that he received them while
he was in the lonian Islands. The voyage of this diplomatist
is in fact attended with so many unforeseen delays that it rc-
sembles that of a naturalist rather than of a political agent.
The re-appearance of the Duke of IVellington in the diplo.
matic theatre of Europe has excited the most lively sensation
in Germany: In the suite of this great person are men of the
rarest merit, who have all filled important missions. It is af-
firmed here that the Duke will not content himself with dilatory
or evasive answers, and that he expects from Russian Cabinet
a final decision, which shall put an end to all uncertainty re-
specting the probability of hostilities with the Porte. it is
even thought that he has in his instructions a new plan for
the partition'of European Turkey, In case he should find it
impossible to make an arrangement with the Divan. Others
again arc of opinion that the English Anibassadors-wfll proyose,
as the invariable basis of this negotiation, the existence of the
Turkish Empire for ever (a toot jonaais) and the separation of
Greece as an independent State, and to establish on this basis
new system of the balance of power in Europe. At all events it is
certain thatit is to prevent war that England has employed the ta-
lents of these celebrated diplomatists to insure its success; itavails
itselfof the great financial crisis, which hinders the execution of
anyhostile project,even if Russia shOuld have conceived the idea.
Nevertheless the recal of General Yermaloff to St. Petershuigh
excites fears for the continuance of peace ; this officer, who
possesses the greatest military talents, has been always a de.
dared enemy of the Cabinetof St. James's, and the precautions
of that Cabinet continue to give occasion to alarming reports.
