ißOrti THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY;

[Morning Chronicle.l
Lnicl Cochrone"s squadron was spoken to by
the Andromache frigate on the 16th FebruEirq,
about 12 hours' sail froth Callao. No doubt the
Chili Admiral's object is 16 look after the %Pen-
goof( and Esmeralda Spanish frigates, and spread
alarm on the coast, in preparation of • General
San Martin's intended attack on the capital of
Lima.

(Morning Post.)
A very gratifying fact relative to the Revenne
was mentioned by the Chancell6: of the Exche-
quer in the House of CoMmons last night. Coni-
paring the last goat-ter with the CcirreipOnding
period of the preceding yeat, there is found to be
an increase on the gross amount of the Revenue
to the extent of 440,0001.--;and 'compared ierith
the same period in 1817, the increase i§ 1,540,0001.
The state of the nevenne is the most satisfactory
proof of the state of the country arid when we
reeolleCt the gloomy pfoseets Which were liitely

held out fti its in regard to the state of our trade and
manufactnrett-:-Ilie assertions that the dreadful dis-
tresses of 1816 were again to fall upon us, and went
then beginning—it is most sat is.factory to find that
all cause for such
,serious apprehensions is now
wholly removed. That which is Most pleasing,
next to the main. fact itself, is, that the increase
has taken place in those two
.great branches of
Revenue, the Custom's and the gxcise, in the
rect taxes on which the increase -cannot be ef-
fected by any fortuitous circuMitances, but by
the More general diffusion of .the comforts of
life ; and this diffusion can only be attributed
to an increase of the Means of piocitriog them
throughout the nation at large. In commercial
operations; so extensive and complicated as
thosa of this country
.now are, ftuctuations and
adverse periods *ill occasionally occur among
sortie Of the various classes who compose the great
body of Merchants and Manntacturers. That
such did lately occur is but too Certain—that they
may occur again, and indeed that they may now
be felt by some portion of that body, is very pro-
bable. The great consolation is, that they are
for the most part but partial, and that they leave
the great and vital strength of the nation wholly
unimpaired.

[Times

We learn from our private Correspondent, that

the King of France has nominated Le Due de
Richelieu Grand Veneur, but that he is yet with-
out a successor in his office of first gentleman ot
the bedchamber.—The change in the Spanish Mi-
nistry is ascribed.as an indirect consequence of
the representations of the British Government on
the subject of the Florida Treaty; our Ambas-
sador having, it is said, demanded either the re-
jection ot the Treaty, or the surrender of Cuba,
as an indennity to England. The retention of
the Florida', however, by the United States, is
looked upon as a matter of certainty among the
circles of the Continent ; under the sanction of
the Treaty, if it he ratified ; but if not ratified, as
a security for debts due by Spain.

The following is an extract of a letter, dated
Buenos Ayres, March 24 :—" We have been, and
continue to be, in a state of great uneasiness, on
account of the different parties which are mutually
watching, with a view of supplanting each other.
Add to this the fear entertained of a rupture with
Brazil, after the violence offered to the agent of
Gen. Lecor ; for if a war should break out with the
Portuguese, they would not only have the right, but
the power of blockading this port, and of prevent-
ing the entry of any merchandise. In the mean
time, Artigas, who dares not encounter the Portu-
guese troops, which are in the best order, and in
possession of the eastern coast, attacks the troops
of Buenos•Ayres, defeats them; and now endea-
vours to advance hither, having a party among
us."—(lbid.)
