QUARTER'S REVENUE.

We are, this day, enabled to lay before our
Readers the Official Accounts of the Revenue
of Great Britain in the quarter and year respec-
tively ended on the sth instant, which will be
found in another part of our Paper.
The net produce of the Revenue in this
quarter has exceeded the amount of the corres-1
ponding quarter of last year, by the sum of
45,7701., and although this amount is not large,
yet when we consider that the produce of the
preceding quarter fell so much short of the cor-
responding quarter of 1826, we must consider it
highly satisfactory, and indicative of that gra-
dual improvement in our national resources
which we were led to expect.
This increase has arisen under the heads of
Customs and Taxes. In the latter, the increase
amounts to 47,8231., and in the former to
202,5661., which proves incontestably that our
foreign trade is progressively improving. A de-
crease of 50,1091. in the Excise ; of 18,7771. in
the Stamps ; of 43,000/. in the Post. office ; and
92,00 Q/. in the Miscellaneous, reduces the
total increase of the quarter to the before
mentioned sum of 45,7701. It is true that the
amount of the Revenue for the year, ended sth
instant, has fallen short of the amount for the
year ending, sth July, 1826, by the sum of
1,170,8321., but the total receipts of the two
last quarters, are only 423,715/. less than those
of the corresponding quarters of 1826 ; and, as
the receipt of the quarter just terminated shews
an actual increase, though not of large amount,
we may reasonably entertain a hope that the two
next quarters will materially lessen the decrease
on the total receipts of the year.
On the whole, we must view the present
statements as gratifying, not so much from their
actual results, as from affording just grounds for
believing that our Revenue will progressively,
though not, perhaps, rapidly increase from the
present period.

We received last night the Paris Papers of
Tuesday, and the Gazette de France dated
Wednesday morning.

The Constitutionnel publishes a letter, detail-
ing the proceedings of Lord COCHRANE, in
which we find it stated that the Turkish fleet
consists of one ship of the line, thirty frigates and
corvettes, and as many small vessels, a force con-
siderably larger than has been calculated upon.
A private letter from Vienna, in the Quotidi-
enne, alludes in a mysterious manner to the
expected departure of DON MIGUEL from that
capital. Every thing, it says, is changed with
respect to hitn, and Europe will soon learn the
destiny of the Noble Infant.

The Gazette de France gives an account of
a violent storm which burst over Paris on the
2d inst., and did considerable damage.
Extracts of these papers are given in another
column, and we subjoin the price of the Funds
on the 3d inst.

The Austrian Observer of the 24th of June,
and Frankfort Papers to the 29th, reached us
last night. They contain no political intelli-
gence, but the following extract gives a most
gratifying account of the extraordinary sale of
English manufactures at the late Leipsic Fair.

OUT Spitalfields goods appear to have sue'
cessfully competed with the silks of Lyons.

Aucanuna, JUNE 29.—The Supplement to the 4119 e"
mein Zeitung of this date gives, in the continuation of
its reports on the late Leipsic fair, the following accounts
of some of the English manufactures. After observing
that the weavers of Sp4lfields already rival the variegated
articles of Lyons, and that the peptnission to import French
silks, at first looked upon in England itself with so much
jealousy, had no less in view than in the end to make the
French goods entirely superfluous--the Report proceeds--
" The dealers in English manufactures and cottons made
extraordinary sales, and entirely outdid the Saxon and
other Continental manufactures. They surprised and at-
tracted the buyers by many new and beautiful patterns.
The manufacturers at London, Manchester, Paisley, Glas-
gow, and Leeds, had obtained, by the free importation of
the silks of Lyons, the newest and most elegant patterns
which are continually invented by the Lyons pattern-
designers. The beautiful dressing and the extraordinary
cheapness in the purchase of the yarn and thesenradwinmaal-1
terial were likewise very favourable to them. Hence
the fine English prints, of which there were such a pro-
fusion at Leipsic, in this fair, were so tempting. Two great
Jewish Houses from Hamburgh were obliged to
haste to that city for a fresh supply, and when these goods
came in eight extra carriages with the post from Magdeburg,
they were soon disposed of. We cannot positively affirm what
was stated by some ofthe partners in the above house, whether
it was possible,by the inc,-eased rapidity of communication by
steam-boats, to procure new supplies of goods from London
during the last week of the fair, for which orders were
sent from Leipsic only at the beginning of the week be..
fore ? The checked patterns are still the favourites, but in
a thousand pleasing varieties. These are called on the
Continent Walter Scotts, though at Edinburgh nobody
knows any thing of this almost absurd denomination. It
is to be remembered, that all these manufactured articles
receive, on exportation, a drawback of eight or ten shil-
lings, which is paid at the Custom-house. It i$ Strange,
