may be that NICHOLAS will eventually from

that the States of Hungary continue to rnatti.
fast a spirit of dissatisfaction, that excites great
uneasiness in the Cabinet 6f Vienna. Is this too the
result-of Carbonarism ?If liberal principles have
taken such deep root in Russia, and in Hungary,
it may be difficult for the surviving members of

spirit, that has bean repressed, only by the
bayonets of Russia and A ustria, throughout all
Germany and Italy.

contemplate the loss, the devastation, the ruin,'
and' unutterable misery that it is preparing for
ourselves or our children, unless checked in
time, and a remedy applied before the extent of
the mischief, defies the powers of the Statesman,
and leaves us nothing but unavoidable destruc-
tion, or makes °Wills country ono wide ruin.
We are now in the 11th year of peace, and let
us ask what has been done effectually to relieve
the country of any part of this burden ? The
answer is plain, Nothing !!! Nothing has been
done, and as far as we can see nothing will be
done until the people, by their complaints, com-
pel the Government to make an effort to relieve
them from its pressure, for that any positive relief
can be given sptedily, is totally out of the ques-
tion. Is it required to shew hisw this debt affects
the country ? We reply, by the inune►ike sums
levied on the country annually to pay the interest
of thelNational Debt. Are not the civil,military,and
naval expenditure of the nation calculated at the
most extravagant rates? are not these items, one
and all, placed at their utmost bounds ? Could
they be extended in time of peace without
laying open tl►e de facto government to public
censure and public reprobation for unbounded ex-
travagance, and the most lavish dissipation of
the public money ? Yet, large as these items
are, their joint amount hardly reaches 20,000,000
in the year—a sum which sounds as nothing to
our ears but which fur, very, very far,
exceeds the expenditure of every other
country on the globe• The total expen-
diture of the country last year was fifty-one-
millions, and the whole public business, every
_dipartment of the State, was paid—and well paid
too, for 20,000,000, leaving a sum of 31,000,000
to be accounted for. And what became of
this sum ? It was applied in liquidation of
the 'annual interest of the public debt. A sum
of 31,000,0001. was so applied, a sum exceeding by
greatly more than one half the necessarliexpenditure
of the most extravagant government on the face of
the globe. Asum of 31,000,0001. was applied,not
in liquidation of the principal, but iu liquidation
of a yearly demand, leaving us, after this im-
mense payment, just as deep in debt as ever. No
wonder we are distressed; we support two Govern.
meats, a burden, people never before endured ! ! !
Is it not then high time to look about us to do
something to relieve us from the present distress,
rather than to spend the time in vain talk and pro-
fitless debate, seeking for causes which are plain be•
fore us, and losing sight of them again in a mass of
learned disquisitions upon currency, and the non-
sensical theories of political economists, all wide
of the mark, and all spoken of and acted upon
with no other view but—:public delusion.

We had several arrivals this tnornino from the
Continent—two Mails from Ilamburi, and one
from. Holland. They bring Papers from Ger-
roally end the northern Capitals to the Bth instant,

ST. PETERSBUROH, AN• 25,
It ies reported that the coronation of the Emperor Nicholas
and the'Empress Alexandrine will take place at Moscaw, in the
month of Slaty next.
Baron Scholer, the Prussian Ambassador, had his audience
of the Emperor and Empress on the 20th, and General St.
Priest,•the French Ambassador, presented to the EMperor a
letter of condolence from the King of France, on the death of
the Emperor Alexander, and the congratulations on the acecs.
%ion of the present Emperor.
JAN. 23.—The Secret Committee fortned here by the Ern-
peror makes known, by his Majesty's command, that the No-
bleman Samow, who was arrested on suspicion of being an ac.
complice of the rebels, with many of whom he was intimately.
acquainted, has not only been found, after due examination by
the Committee, perfectly innocent of the conspiracy, the object
of which was to overthrow the present order of Government in
Hassle, but it has also appeared that he was not even present in
Peter's-square during the insurrection of 14th (26th) Dec.
Among the numerous promotions we remark that of Com-
modore Krusensten to the rank of Rear:Admiral, and of Capt.
Rimed to that of Commodore.
In the Sitting of the Imperial Academy of Sciences, on the
ad January, a letter from the late Chancellor, Count Boman-
z°l./1 was read, with which he. sends 12,500 rubles, in bank-
being the second half of a sum of twenty-five thousand
ruutea, which he had set' apart for the printing of
Ancient. Prussian Records. He desires the sum to be
employed as opportunity may offer. The Academy received
thie present from M. King, to whom the generous donor had
delivered it, saying he was convinced the Academy would put
Out this second half of his present to interest, and that If the
sum was employed at a future time according to the wishes of
the giver, something of importance might be done. The Ace-
deny, much affected by the generous sentiments of the noble
donor, so expressed in his last moments, resolved to put out
the sum to interest, as has been- done with the first half the
1.l received in 1813. It is to be called Count Romanzow's
undl and employed according to his wish, a soon as oppor-
tunity offers.
•Counsellor Poggenpohl has arrived here from Vienna, as
well as the Aid-de-Camp of Count 'Wittgenstein.
STOCKHOLM, JAN. 27.
. .

On the 93A the Crown Prince gave a grand entertainment in
nonour of his father's birth-ill. In the evening the Court was
present at the first representation of the Opera of.Jessenda, by
bpohr, on which occasion the public received their Majesties
with the greatest enthusiasm.

Petersburgh. His Grace being the senior Field-Marshal of

in his honour. Lord Clanwilliam, the British Ambassador,
lately gave a magnificent ball, at which the King and Royal
Pennly were present.
There are at present 400 English residing in Moscow, who
bare began to build a church for their own use: one of the last
Itete of the late Emperor was to grant them permission to do

" f4iplication to England for assistance.

THE POLICE.—The Hume: ons burglaries an
robberies that nightly, and even daily, occur
round the liberties of the Metropolis, call loudly
for the immediate adoption of measures that may
give assurance of greater safety. Whether the
cause can be traced to the imperfection of our
Police system, or to the supineness of the authori-
ties, is of little consequence to the Public, while
persons and property are alike exposed to outrage'
and plunder. It cannot surely be essential that some
atrocious murder or daring burglary should be re-
quired to awaken vigilance and stimulate our Police
to, action. If such be the case, there must be
something rotten in our metropolitan establish-
meet. We have certainly many police officers
Ivho are at once active and intelligent. It may
be that they are not sufficiently paid, and that
they are not rewarded in proportion to their use-
fulness. The hutrifi'n frame requires rest, and
merits ample remuneration for the privations and
fatiguing exertions of an active and efficient officer.
It is not by a scale of fixed salaries, but by just
rewards, that men will venture their health and
their lives in the performance of arduous and
dangerous duties. Reward, if prompt and satis-
factory, will lead to the salutary consequence of
making them faithful and honest even against their
inclination and their habits. Why is the French
police so formidable, so penetrating, so' irresist-
ible? certainly not from superior capacity, but from
its being founded on a better system—betth
directed. If therefore his Majesty's subjects are
to be exposed to the assassin, or the midnight
plunderer, we should wish to find those whose
duty it is to protect them, called to a strict ac-
count for such apparent supiueness, or dereliction
of duty.

The letters from St. Petersburgh of the 18th January says:—
" The respect of thepeople for the Emperor daily increases,
especially at they, are more and more convinced that the Em-
peror was exposed to a dreadful catastrophe, and was saved
*41,1,,Y by the firmness displayed by him in the hour of danger.—
' Ile plans of the conspirators had been long forming, and the
accession of a new Emperor accidentally gave them an oppor-
tunity to commence their infamous undertaking. The senti-
ments of the faithful people have appeared in the brightest light:
the fete of the consecration of the water was celebrated to-day in
pr_esence of an immense multitude assembled on the ice of the
Neva, in the neighbouring streets. The Emperor, and the
whole
the 1e Imperial Family were present, as usual. Of the events
„
—26th there will soon be no remembrance remaining, ex.
"Pt that of the magnanimity of the Emperor, and of the many
DIMS of the fidelity of the people and the army."—(Allgc-

COURT OF CUM:CERY.—TICIS day the Court
was crowded, in the expectation that the LORD
CHANCELLOR, agreeable to notice, after his late
severe indisposition, would take his seat, and
accordingly that expectation was realized, as, at
half-past ten o'clock, his Lordship entered the
Court, and took his seat upon the Bench. The
Loan CHANCELLOR, considering the severity of
his illness, looks remarkably well. This being
the last day of term, his Lordship only heard
motions of Court.
