TIMM! DAT....HOLTDAT AT TUB BAIL

Despatches were this morning received at the Foreign-
Office from Lord PONSON BY, Envoy Extraordinary and Mi-
nister Plenipotentiary at the Brazils.
This morning, also, despatches were received at the Fo-
reign-office from theßight Hon. Sir ROBaRT GORDOW, the
British Minister at Constantinople.

It would appear by the Proclamation of the Em PIROIL of
Russia, and the intelligence from that quarter of Europe,
which has reached us this morning, and the details of which
are to be found in our subsequent columns, that nothing but
actual combat on the field of battle, can again decide the fate
of Poland. It appears, from various concurrent soure"s of
information, that the Russian army at Wilna has been
ordered by General DIEBITSCH to advance against the pa-
triots ; and we have information, by private letters from Ber-
lin, that the Poles, on their part, are preparing to make a
noble resistance. It is said that the Poles have determined

that the war shall be one of extermination, and that should
the defence of Warsaw be unsuccessful, it is doomed to
share the same fate as Moscow, when attacked by the army
of NAPOLEON. These private letters, likewise, mention that
in Prussian Poland there are appearances of disaffection ;
and that desertions to the patriot standand, to a large extent
are taking place, particularly amongst individuals of the
greatest local influence. The writers all appear to
represent the Poles as confident of success on the first attack ;
but this of course must be entirely contingent on the
strength of the Russian force brought against them.
A very few days will perhaps satisfy the anxiety, at present
common, to all friends of freedom throughout Europe, on the
fortunes of the impending conflict ; as the army of the
Autocrat has left Wilna, which is only about two hundred
miles from Warsaw, a distance which he can accomplish in
a march of ten days.

Advicee received from Geneva this day, state that the
Federal Commission of Inspection, bee proposed to the
Diet assembled at Bern, to have an immediate muster of
seventy-five thousand men, to be ready to march on the
first notice; and that the proposal had been agreed to.

Logi,la-

vate letters, received at the same time, that a partial change'
had taken place in Panno's Cabinet, a new Minister of the
Treasury being jut appointed. Exchange 20ii.
In our publication of yesterday, we stated the deficit
as it was determined the preceding evening at ten
o'clock ; but, as usually happens, payments were obtained
later in the day, so u to reduce the deficit on the corres-
ponding quarters, to 29,4801. and on the whole year, to
640,4501.
On this subject, we neither lament, nor palliate ; for the
object of the public is to pay the least possible, and the less
the amount, the more agreeable to those who have to pay ;
but, on the other hand, the amount is a test of the fiscal
strength, or weakness of the State; and is therefore felt
with anxiety, by all those who live upon, and depend on the
actual Revenue.

In presenting to our Readers the official statement of
the Revenue, which will be found in our first page, we
consider it proper to lay before them, the corresponding to-
tals for the three last years, by which, on the infallible
evidence of arithmetic, they may draw their own conclu-
sions, in regard to the state and prospects of the revenue.
We cannot, for the past year, include the Revenue
of Ireland ; nor the total expenditure ; and for these
items, the public must await the Parliamentary publica-
tions. It appears, however, that for the three former
years, the blended Taxes of Great Britain and Ireland,
yielded as under, and opposite to these totals, we have affixed
the whole expenditure, as laid before the House of Com-
mons. The differences are the sums applicable to the
SINNING FUND. _

Of course we cannot yet give these totals to sth .lanupry,
1831; but, for the sake of comparison with the revenue of
Great Britain to that time, which we are now enabled to
give, we have stated the produce of taxes for Great,
Britain, for this year, and the three preceding years, as
under :

Such, then, are the totals of the T• x Rev ex UE for Great
Britain for four years.
Then, to enable our readers to observe the progress of
each branch of Revenue, we have subjoined the produce for
four years of the Customs, Excise, Stamps, and Assessed
Taxes :

CITY. ONE O'CLOCK.

The small deficiency in this Quarter's Revenue appearsto
give great satisfaction to the public, considering the taxes
which have been taken off ; but owing to the French Rentes
having come about one per cent. lower, our funds have ra-
ther declined. Consols, which left off yesterday at 821 for
the Account, opened at 82i I, since which they have been
done at 82g.

CITY. TWO O'CLOCZ

Consols, which continued most part of the morning at
8211, are now 82i for the Account. The private letters
from Paris, this morning, explain the cause of the fall in the
French routes, which is attributed to the French Govern-
ment having issued ten millions bons Royaux, or Exche-
quer Bills, and as the Stockholders there can borrow money
upon their stock at i per cent. per month, they throw
their stock on the market and discount the above bills at five
per cent.
In the Foreign Market, Spanish Bonds are higher.
The accounts from the Brazil Imperial Mines are favour-
able, they obtained nine pounds and a half of gold each day
for sixteen days.

The expenditure of nearly 100 millions during successive
years, in the materiel of war, and the correlative issues of
papa, rendered necessary by the magnitude of transac-
tions, had swelled manufactures, *agriculture and commerce,
to an unparalleled extent. Was it not shock enough on
industry, that a customer had withdrawn, whose con-
sumption doubled that of all our export trade This alone
was a great blow ; but by a climax of infatuation, all our
blended establishments had the ground struck from under
their foundation, first, by the narrowing of the circulation,
which produced the panic ; and then by Peel's Bill, which
at a blow—s sort of coup de grace—destroyed the means
of credit, and with it dried up all the profits of productive
industry, leaving the people encumbered with private obli-
gations, and also with a public debt, whose interest alone
swallows up the income of all real property. What a page
this for History I—what an illustration of the wisdom of
the Soi-diaaat Statesmen of the age of George IV. !

THE SINKING Few D.—The Commissioners for the re-
duction of the National Debt have issued a notice that, as
the actual surplus revenue of the country, beyond the ex-
penditure, in the year ending 10th October 1830, amounts
to 2,979,5231.154. llid. during the Quarter ending the sth
April next, one-fourth part of such surplus—vim. 744,8801.
18s. 11d.—will be applied in aid of the redemption of tbe
Debt, together with 2,7201.94. 9d. in Donations and Be-
quests. The total amount to be invested in Stock in the
current Quarter will be 747,6011. 81. 81d. In the Quarter
just ended the purchases of Stock by the Commissioners,
on each transfer day, were 12,2901. making a total laid
out in the Quarter, in the redemption of Stock, of 577,6541.
