in the Chamber of Deputies-outlet French Budget, and
on the law of indemnity. •ifsippettrs, from the state-
ment of M. de Vu.s.m.n, the Minister of Finance, that
the whole -receipts of the revenue of France in 1823,
(the year of the Spanish war) amounted to 1,123,456,392
francs (or about 45,000,0001. sterling), and the expen-
diture to 1,118,025,16'2 francs, or about 200,0001. less.
The whole rcs.)urces of 1824 amounted to 992,333,953
francs (~r about 39.693,3581.) and the whole expendi-
ture to 990,119,582 francs.
The revenue for the current year is estimated at
928,000,000 francs (or a little mote than thirty-seven
millions sterling), and the expenditure at 926,500,000
francs. In extending his view to the year 1826, the
Minister estimates the national income at 924,095,704
francs (or 37,000,00(1.) acid the expenditure at
915,504,499 francs, leaving an excess of the former
over the latter to the amount of 8,591,205 francs (or
About 343,3281.) "1 'wive," said the Minister, " laid-
before you the documents necessary to put you in pos-H,
session of the charges and resources of the years 1824,
1825, and 1826. You have seen that the expenses of
the Spanish war borne by France have been paid and
covered by the issue of four millions of renter, the ba-
lance of the last loan, and the excess of the ordinary
income over the ordinary expenditute of the State."
We observe, by the French Papers of Thursday, that
M. de VILLELE has ordered copies of the Report con-
cerning the Commissariat Department in the Spanish
war to be distributed to the Members of the Chamber
of Deputies. It consists of five quarto volumes..
We observe, with regret, that the law of sacrilege, to
which we have so often alluded, is likely to, pass the
Chamber of Peers, with no other alleviation of the pe-
nalties, than that the punishment of death, with A pub-
lic acknowledgment of the offence, will be substituted
for chat of death, with mutilation, An amendment,
proposing to substitute hard labour during life for the
guillotine, was rejected by a majority of nine votes, the
numbers being,llo to 101. it is particularly remarked
that the Archbishop of PARIS and the Bishop of HER-
MOPOLIS were both absent during the discussions of this
atrocious and sanguinary law.

In the Foreign Market there was a great bustle in all Mining,
Shares, but particularly in those of Pasco, which, at one period'
were done at 48, which is a rise since Saturday of 15 or 16 pound
per Share.

A Leeward Island flail WAS received at Glasgow 'on
Thursday. The Glasgow Courier of that day states,
that the Trinidad Gazette of the 29th of December,
contains a ProclamatiJn issued by the Governor, dated

the 24th, in which he states, that he has "deemed it'
necessary, for the peace and security of the said island,"
as call out the militia, for " the purpose of being more
effectually trained and instructed." Severe penalties
and regulations are made to secure the punctual at-
tendance of the men.

At a late hour we received the illoniteur of Saturday
and the Etoile of yesterday, by Expiess, together with
l t ieate letter from our. Cot respondent, stating, that
the intolerant law against Sacrilege passed the Chamber
ot. Peers on Friday, by a majority of 127 against 92.

the Asiatic Coast and Egypt. The Greek ships of war
tliat were in the Candian seas, have retired from them,
but a strong division, under the command of MIAULIS,
was on the point of sailing from Hydra, to watch the
proceedings of the Egyptian.fleet.

Brussels Papers to the 20th instant, reached us this
forenoon; they are almost exclusively filled with ac-
counts of the late inundations. The Province of Leu-
warden is represented as in the most deplorable condi-
tion ; thousands of persons are said to have lost their all,
and are without shelter. The Churches are crowded
with people and cattle, and a scarcity of provisions
begins to be felt—even the site of many villages is not
to be found.

Jamaica Papers arrived this morning to the 7th of
January. They do not contain any news from South
America: _ _

selves to render them happy. lam confident the Slaves
are again returning to their former contented statefand
many of them have declared that they can desire
nothing more than what the Assembly has done for
them ; and as they can now purchase themselves free, if
they have money, they think they are well off."
The French frigate La Jean d'Arc arrived at Barba-

Letters have been received from Maranham, dated

had been stationed for some weeks preceding in that

Governor of Maranham, who was well known to be
disaffected to the Government, continued to embroil
the province by his ambiguous conduct, his Lordship,

The German Papers state that Prince METTERNIcx
does not mean to visit Paris, although it was positively
asserted, in recent Intelligence from that capital, that
he was on his journey thither, bat on the contrary, pro•
posed setting out for Italy. Several meetings of Am.
bassadors have been held at the Prince's house, in con-
sequence, it is supposed, of our having recognised the
South American Republics. Sir lisuav Weu.r.s I.Evt
the British Ambassador, was not present at apy of these
meetings.
