HEALTH AND LONGEVITY.—A Mall work,
from the pen of a Physician, has just been published, en-
titled, Suax METHODS OF Luraovnici HEALTH AND PRO-
LONGING LIFE, which is said to contain a great deal of
valuable information, and to embrace all the most approved
Principles of Health and Longevity, together with Rules
for Reducing Corpulence, and Maxims of Health for the
Bilious and Nervous, the Consumptive, Men of Letters, and
People of Fashion. This Work clearly shews the remark-
able power of proper food, wine, air, exercise, sleep, &c.
in the cure of obstinate chronic diseases, as well as in the
preservation of health and prolongation of life, and is illus-
trated by many striking cases, fully authenticated. The
Reviewers speak very favourably of it ; a recent number
of the Atlas observes, " The subject of this book is inte-
resting to every individual in existence, and we are dis-
posed to think it the most useful and rational work of the
kind we have met with. It contains many hints novel to
use and is altogether an admirable code of health."

It will be seen from the summary we lately gave
of the Memorial of the Minister of Finance, read in
the Chambers of Senators and Representatives, the
3d and 4th January last, that the principal sources
of Revenue in Mexico are the following :—Mari-
time Custom Mouses ; Contingent or Quota of the
respective States ; Tobacco Monopoly.
From these three sources nearly three-fourths of
the receipts for the ten months, eliding the 30th of
June, 1826, appear to be derived. The following
details, therefore, on these three heads, may be ac-
ceptable. They are principally extracted from the
printed statements annexed to the Memorial of the
Minister.

MARITIME CUSTOM HOUSES.

The receipts for the 10 months ending the 30th
June, 1826, were as follow :

At the Custom-houses Dollars.
At Acapulco 408,271 6
Alvarado 2,565,172 3

Nett Produce Dollars 6,414,383 2
Of this sum the receipts for
Duties on imports amounted to 3,535,144 1

Duties on exports to
Duties on leaving the port of importation
(a sort of excise).
Port duties, viz.—
Tonnage 103,701 6

Balance from last year 207,970 2

6,571,491 '7
Deduct expense of collecting... 157,108 5

Nett produce 6,414,383 2

The very high ad valorem duty of 40 per cent. is
levied on all goods imported into Mexico and des-
tined for internal consumption; viz. 25 per cent. on
arrival in the port of entry, and 15 per cent. (Dere-
eho de internacion) on removal from the port to the
interior. The latter duty was substituted about two
years ago for the old Alcabala duty of 18 per cent.,
which was paid at the interior custom houses ; but
a further duty of 11 per cent. is added to the 15 per
cent. now paid, the produce of which, under the
name of Averia, is appropriated to the redemption ol
the national debt.

The propriety of reducing these discouraging
duties on foreign goods has been frequently discussed
in Congress; •but hitherto without effect. Till some
alteration is made in them, foreign commerce can-
not attain any great prosperity.

CONTINGENT OR QUOTA OF THE RESPECTIVE STATES.

It will be seen that the total receipts amounted to
1,368,492 dollars 6 cents. This sum was contributed

by the following States, viz.:—

13y the Commissary

Dollars.

Of Chinahua

11,718 6

Vera Cruz 55,902 3
Zacatecas 78,124

J,368,4b2
The amount of the contingent to be paid by the
respective States is appointed by Congress ; but the,
arrears of payment for 1826 amounted to 538,143
dollars 6 cents. The amount for this year was,
therefore, as follows

Dollars.

1,906,596 4

TOBACCO MONOPOLY.

In this branch very considerable improvement has
talcen place during the Administration of Mr. Esteva.
It is a monopoly of the Supreme Government, who
purchase it of the growers, and retail it to the dif-
ferent States. The receipts from the different
States, and at the Government factories of Vera
Cruz and Mexico, for the ten months ending 30th
June, 1826, were— 1,577,117 7
Deduct expence of collectingD.ss,l94 0
Expence of carriage 165,796 3

220,990 4

Nett Produce 1,356,127 3

The value of the tobacco deposited in the ware-
houses of the Supreme Government, on the 30th
June, 1826, reckoning at one dollar per pound (the
price at which it is delivered to the States), amounted
to 7,669,141 dollars, which, added to the sum owing
by the different treasuries for previous deliveries,
gives the large sum of 10,276,492
from
7 cents.,
accruing to the Government from this branch of
revenue.

ANECDOTE OF TALMA.—A French Pro-
vincial Journal contains the following anecdote
of this celebrated actor :—" On his first excur-
sion to Rouen, to which place he went by one
of the public conveyances, every body in it was
talking of his motives in going there. Our great
tragedian, forgetting for an instant his usual
modesty, said, that he was going to chew the
Rouenese what they had never seen before. A
little man in the conveyance wanted to know
what the wonder was, and Telma mentioned his
name. The travellers soon arrived at Rouen,
and separated with some coolness. The next
day the theatre was full. There was a general
contest as to who should see and applaud the
French Roscius ; lie played Manlius ; the ap-
plause had hardly permitted him to begin, when
a sharp hiss was heard from one of the boxes.
Talma, astonished, stopped short, and asked to
what misfortune he was to attribute the public
displeasure. Nothing, go on. You have come
to spew us what we never saw before, and we let
you hear what you never heard before The
Rouenese reward merit and punish pride.' Re-

MR. BLAQUIRRE RAS ADORESSEDIk FbLOWING
LETTER TO A GREECAAIDRQOEiL , '
DEAR 51R,—...1 hasten to offer you elf the in-
formation in my power, relative to the actual
state and future prospects of Greece, as they re-
late to the interests of the Bond-holders. I am
the more anxious to satisfy your inquiries on
this subject, from having been among the first of
those who asserted that, notwithstanding the in-
numerable difficulties which have beset Greece
during her eventful struggle, her cause must ul-
timately triumph. My opinion was founded on
the facilities for defence which the Greeks pos-
sessed—their firm determination not to 'submit
to their old tyrants under any circumstances, and
above all, on the inevitable moral influence which
such a cause, interwoven as it is with all the best
feelings of our nature, was calculated to produce
on the whole European family. What has been
the result of my conjectures, thus formed amidst
the prejudices of some, and the opposition if not
the obloquy of others ? Why, that the Greeks
with the most inadequate means, and amidst ap-
palling privations, have continued the war nearly
seven years, without there being an instance of a
disposition to submit ; and that impressed with
the justice of their claims, and the moral necessity
of the :case, the three great powers of Europe
have concluded a treaty, which, as I have already
stated, gives a political existence to Greece, and
thus realizes all that her best friends could wish
in the present state of the contest !
Were it not for the hitherto unprofitable re-
sult of the South American Loans, and the fatal
spirit which induced so many individuals to em-
bark capital in the joint stock bubbles, having
such a tendency to destroy public confidence, the
ratification of such a treaty, must have struck the
Greek Bondholders at once, as furnishing a
guarantee, infinitely stronger than any afforded
by the Loans of the New World ; since it con-
sists in a solemn covenant, between the three
great Arbiters of Europe. lam indeed astonished
that it should have been overlooked for a moment.
—With respect to the execution of the Treaty,
lam willing to stake my existence on it. What
is more, I have no hesitation in repeating, that
the Porte can no more resist its being carried
into effect, than could one of the minor States
of the Continent wage war against England,
France, or Russia. In the first place, the pro-
mulgation of the Treaty has given new vigour
and animation to all classes of the Greeks, as
evinced by the late operations ; in the next,
neither Ibrahim Paella nor the Seraskier, possess
the means of carrying on hostilities even for ten
days, if their supplies are cut off; and lastly, the
fleets of the High Contracting Parties are on
the spot and acting in obedience to the positive
orders of their respective Courts. But I shall
advert to another fact, as entirely setting the fears
of any resistance at rest. There is a. Russian
army of 100,000 men ready to cross the Pruth,
the instant Turkey holds up a finger to resist.
My conviction is, that if a single act of violence
takes place at Constantinople or Smyrna, this
army will invade Turkey. The consequences in
such a case, may be easily anticipated ! But I
repeat there will be no resistance. You will,
perhaps, wish to know the grounds upon which
I speak so confidently of the non-resistance of
the Sultan. Is it likely I would ask, that those
who projected and signed the Treaty, did not
calculate all the chance of opposition before band,
and felt assured that nothing but a decisive policy
would induce the Divan to acquiesce? Those
who are acquainted with the personal character of
Sultan Mahmoud, do not require to be in-
formed, that however impetuous he may at first
appear, there is no doubt of his yielding
the moment lie sees the Great Powers, but
more especially England, determined to carry
the Treaty into effect. On the other hand, the
Sultan who is confessedly a man of some talent,
must perceive that, while the intervention of the
Powers, furnishes him with a plausable motive
for putting an end to one of the most expensive
contests in which he has been engaged, the
British Cabinet has consulted the best interests
of Turkey, and perhaps adopted the only means
of prolonging the existence of that tottering edi-
fice, by proposing the Treaty in question. This
is not the place to develope a subject, which
involve consequences of the highest importance
to the Ottoman Empire, while they are not less
closely connected with the general interests of
Europe. Here, it may be proper to state a fact
which is unknown in this country. Whatever
may be the feelings and wishes of the Sultan
with regard to Greece, the war is not popular in
Turkey, it has continued too long, and cost the
Turks too dearly to be so : added to these con-
siderations, I had it from various sources of the
best information during my late visit, that the
Muesulman population, attribute all the recent
calamities of the Empire, to the cruelties exer-
cised in Greece. 1 need hardly add, that the
Turkish soldiery have always entered the field
against the Greeks with the utmost reluctance.
The war has, in fact, been principally carried on
by the Albanian mercenaries, and the Delhis or
Turkish cavalry. The former would fight for
any party by which they are best paid, while the
latter, besides being extremely well treated on
the score of pay, know that there is compara-
tively little risk in attacking irregular infantry
without bayonets. •

If you ask me what is my opinion with regard
to the particular march of events in consequence
of the Treaty of Intervention, my reply is, that
I think there is no doubt, but Ibrahim Paella
will evacuate the Morea in the course of the
winter, and that Kutahi the Seraskier, will be
under the necessity of separating his army,
already not more than 15,000 men, into small
parties, if he does not retreat to Larissa or Ze-
touni. In every case, where the determination
of the Cabinets is so firmly fixed, it is natural
to expect that no unnecessary delay will take
place in establishing the future stipulations of
the Treaty.
Having stated my conviction as to the result
of the Treaty of Intervention, it remains for me
t
to touch on another important point--I allude
the situation of Lord Cochrane and General
Church, and to the unanswerable claims which
these two gallant officers have to the support of
their countrymen
champions not merely of freedom and huma-
nity, but a
most flattering act of confidence, have placed
their destinies ! And yet,
