SUN OFFICE, Three o'Clock.

The Navy Estimates for the current year, together
with the amount to be voted for the Ordnance, will be
found in another part of The -Sun. The Army Esti-
mates have also rppeared, making altogether a gross
amount of about 15,000,0001., for 1842-43, being an in-
crease of only 125,0001. over that of the preceding year.
No one can contrast the small forces employed by land
and sea, with the extensive operations in progress,
without paying a voluntary tribute to the bravery
energy, skill, and efficiency of the British army and navy.
In the whole history of mankind no instance at all simi-
lar is to be found. The Roman Legions, spread over a
comparatively small spot on the globe, numbered thou-
sands for the hundreds of the British army, While there
is scarcely a nook of land, or a bay throughout the world,
that is not watched and occasionally visited by some por-

don or other of the British V forces. The total
number of all ranks in the army amounts to 121,121,
about one fourth of . the army of France, while
we are at war with three hundred millions in China,
independent of one hundred millions to be kept in sub-
jection in India, the war in .Alfghanistan, the prepara-
tions in Canada. for settling the affair of the Creole and
the Boundary line, and the countless islands and colonies
that are either garrisoned or protected by our army and
navy. The duties required of these brave men of course
must be incessant and harassing, and unless some '
remedy be provided by the settlement of disputed
questions, it is evident that, within a short
period there must be a large addition to our
forces, and, what naturally follows, a large addition
also to our taxes. This, no doubt, exercises the inge-
nuity of the military authorities, and the heads of
the Treasury, and causes more anxiety than the Corn-
laws or the People's Charter. But with a declining re-
venue, and such vast operations on their hands, would not
a wise Administration be anxious to conciliate rather than
irritate a discontented and starving population ? Is,
however, any one of Sir ROBERT PEEL'S plans calcu-
lated to have such an effect ? Instead of extending the
suffrage, his party try every means to narrow it
still more and more, and while the people cry
out for cheap bread, he mocks them with a new
sliding scale. The higher classes, however, will find that
these great questions cannot be kept in abeyance without
more money, and that a Property Tax, or some other
tax that shall press as heavily on them as on the work-
ing classes, will be imposed speedily by their second
" heaven-born" Minister elect.

The complete success of the revolutionary faction in
Portugal—a faction which we stated from the outset was
receiving the underhand support of the QUEEN and her
husband— quite prepares us for the threatened outbreak
in Spain. The game of Louis PHILIPPE; Madame Mu-
Noz, and Donna MARIA is won in Portugal. The prelimi-
nary step to the Spanish Revolution has been taken, and
so successfully, that the Christinos and Carlists must be
burning with impatience to measure swords with ESPAR-
TERO. All that is now waited for is the signal from
the Tuilleries. " The plot," says the Paris Constitutionel,
"is certain, Proofs abound every where.. The alliance
between the Christinos and Carlists is nearly arranged
and concluded. The eldest son of Don CARLOS is
to marry the young Queen ISABELLA. An in-
surrection to further it is fixed for spring.,
This we stated ourselves on Friday in nearly the same
words. Some details of the plot have, however, since
transpired. The REGENT is to be assassinated, and this
is to be the signal for the general rising. CARLOS and
the Fueros will form the war-cry of the Basques ;
CHRISTINA. and the.Estatuta Real Ore to resound south
of the Ebro. The POPE, the King of NAPLES, and
France, are expected to supply funds. The latter is
sat. have already guaranteed the requisite supply of
arms and ammunition. General JAREGUY (El Pastor),
M. RIBED, of I'ampeluna, and the notorious AvznA-
NETTA, are at this moment in Bayonne, in readiness to
cross the frontier, where eleven millions of ball-
cartridges are ready to be delivered to then_.
Generals CABRERA, VILLAREAL, EGUIA, SILVESTRE,
VORGAS, and O'DoNNELL are to assume the chief com-
mands of the revolutionary army. VILLAREAL is
already on his way to Portugal, to obtain succours from
Donna MARIA., his plan being to invade Spain, from some
part of the Portuguese territory. A large body of
troops has been enlisted in France, and large sums of
money have been subscribed to defray the expenses
of further enlistment. CABRERA is at Lyons,
surrounded by a host of conspirators, and treating with
commercial houses in London, Strasburg, Marseille-,
and Paris, for loans which are said to be offered very
readily in consequence of the underhand support of the
whole plot by the French Court.

With these facts before the world how is it that nu
explanation is demanded from the French Government ?
Will England suffer a country like Spain to he thus a
constant prey to the revolutionary intrigues of refugees-
sheltered, and encouraged by France ? France has re-
cognised the Government estaLlished in Spain, and,
therefore, the attempt to disturb it as criminal as it
would be in England to intrigue for the res,;;)ration of the
Bourbons.

Letters and Papers from Madrid of the 12th ins'.
state that the Government had bQen apprised of the
success of the revolution in Portugal. It excited great
surprise, although ESPARTERO had taken the precaution
to establish a strong force on the frontier. The debate
on the Address was still continued.
The Funds were !ower on the Madrid Bourse, the
closing prices on the 12th being 30;1 for cash; and 311
at 60 days, sellers in both instances.

Eight out of the nine committees, or bureaus, into
which the French Chamber of Deputies is divided, have
decided against any mitigation of the law which holds
the printers of public journals responsible for their con-
tents. Now, according to the standing orders of the
Chamber, no subject can be disctissed which has not
been voted for by a majority of three of these com-
mittees, consequently the measure is, for the pre-
sent, lost. The principle of the censorship of the
press is therefore completely established, for the printers
can and will refuse to print any article which appears to
them offensive to the Government. In the Com-
mittee, in which M. THIERS presided, the debate was very
animated. The Ex-Minister spoke against the system
of newspaper persecution, carried on by the Government,
in very strong and animated terms. "As for me," said
M. Dimas, " although I frankly agreed to the Sep-
tember I,ws, yet so soon as they had the desired effect,
which was to prevent the discussion of the principle of
the right of Government to exist at all, 11;y opinion
was that we ought to institute as few n:w4
paper prosecutions as possible. I knew that
we could only succeed by packing juries, and intimi-
dating printers, and I disapproved of these methods,
knowing that even they must fail us in the end. It is
only by bearing
with the abuses of the • press, the
the Government can grow too strong for it.".
These opinions are moderate and just ; it is only
a pity that M. THIERs did not carry them into action
when the power of the Government was in his o h n hands.
But it was he who first inspired Louis PHILIPPE with a
hatred of the press, and with a conviction the lit 3 ab nes
could be best restricted by prosecutions.

The Messager declares that there is no foundation fa the
ass2rtion of the Augsburg Gazette, that letters are opened at
the Post-effice.
The Siecle says—" This evening a fact was stated to us,
which proves that the Augsburg Gazette was well informed.
We shall wait for more complete information before we corn.
municate it to the public."

cte TORY CONFERENCE.—The Tory party are not at all
with
g - which
Peel received them at the
to which they were in-
vited previous to the division on Lord John Russell's
motion. Raving assembled in considerable numbers,
and waited some time, Peel walked into the room, silent,
~ ,-I'.-,•1 LtlL,'; Ip,tte,,iltik: ,1111.:y. 11'' `bilked t'i till, t•-1),
41'1; plaeiiig his, bu.ek against the wall iio eddressed his
zealous sunnorthra_ He told them that he had taken the

. -
office which e hell to lease th nothirnsiel if
ow
that he had paidp great attention to thee Cm,
orn-laws, and,
the Bill he had brought in was the result of that attio-
tion ; if they did not like the. Bill they might bring
and carry a better by
.themselves if they could ;,/if
would not vary his plan. But he wished them foll3r
to understand that a cold or a lukewarm support wouldl •
not do for him. He must have an honest support in the.
House of Commons, and out of it also ; and he must
not hear of any talking against his measures in private,.
or any secret cabals against him. If he remained Pre- ,
mier, he would be premier in all things '•'..and if they- „oil
disliked his rule, it was one of their own choosing, whicu
he did not covet, and which they might relieve him from Jr,
when they thought fit. The fit of sulkiness seized these
assembled Tortes, and- they departed, to do as he bid,
them, knowing that without him they could do nothing. . ;.00
PEEL'S CONFIDENCE.—On being told that he ,had-
been burnt in effigy, the non-confident Premier ask-eu•
"by which party, the agriculturists, or the manufae- 44.01
turers, have I been so honoured ?" On this speech being I°,
reported to one of the bitter agriculturists in the Souse
of Commons, he replied that Peel ought to have Icnowll
better than to make such remarks, considering the posi-
tion in which the farmers had placed him.
On Saturday Lord Aberdeen exchanged, with the
Ministers of Austria, Russia, and Prussia, the ratitio"
tions, by their respective Courts, of,
the treaty of Loir .
the
don of the 20th of December, 1841, with a view to
suppression of the African >lave trade. The French
Ambassador was present at Downing-street when then`''
,
ratifications were exchanged, but his Excellency had 11°'
received the ratification by his Court.
The Belfast Vindicator gives a terrible picture of the;
state of crime in the county of Down. " There are tr :40
present," observes this Journal. " upwards of sixty Yr'
soners in Down gaol for trial at the ensuing assizes,
.:
charged with the commission of heinous crimes., 11.10
than twenty of these are charged with distinct murderl
—a number greater for that awful crime than was
tamed in all the calenders in this hitherto peace".
county during the ten years we had of a Whig .A.clmillisn",
tration."—This is au excellerit practical commentary
the boast of the Tory Journals, that Ireland has tr°,
great entent been tranquillized by Earl De Gres
`
vernment. Twenty distinct murders---,:intl in one co ,0
too !—are certainly proofs irresistible of the progres,3
'risk tranquillity !
