TUESDAY, APRIL 6.

TO-morrow, the Duke of WELLINGTON, the Earl of
ABERDEEN, Sir GEORGE MURRAY, and other Cabinet
Ministers, will proceed to Windsor Castle, where the
KING will hold a Privy Council, at which the Recorder's
Report is to be laid before his MAJESTY.

We congratulate Ministers upon the triumphant reali-
zation of tneir golden dreams of national prosperity,—
which the publication of the " RtiVENUE ACCOUNT" pre-
bents to a flourishing country, and a favored people. We
congratulate the advocates of those wise and prudent and
patriotic measures that have led to so satisfactory a result,
upon the confirmation, which is thus afforded, of the wis-
dom of their views of political economy ; and upon the fulfil-
ment of their prophetic assurances. We congratulate all
those who wisely, rationally, and prudently asserted that the
distress of the country was "only partial," its resources un-
diminished, and its energies unimpaired,—upon the flat-
tering testimony that is borne to their foresight, their
sound judgment, and their discretion, by the official docu-
ment to which we refer. That document is worth a thou-
sand speeches in Parliament : it supersedes the necessity
of inquiry; and it justifies the Ministry in the course they
have pursued, and the firmness with which► they have re-
sisted every motion that could lead, even by possibility, to
so needless and uncalled for an undertaking as an inves-
tigation into the condition of the country. The wretched-
ness of that condition was a mere casualty attributable
only to the inclemency of the seasons; it was a purifying
visitation of PROVIDENCE. The distress of the people
was only partial;"—the sufferings of all classes and
the depreciation of all interests arose solely from natural
causes, over which neither political wisdom, nor financial
ability, could exercise any controul ;—and, above all,
these sufferings and that depreciation were basely exag-
gerated and misrepresented. Things looked badly only
on the surface ;—all was sound and staunch at the core :
the branches might seem withering, or in a state of decay,
but the trunk of the tree was as healthy and as vigorous
as ever. We never were in a state of greater fitness for
war, if war should be found expedient, or deemed ad-
viseable ! Be it so :—We are a flourishing, add a con-
tented, and a happy, and a well-ruled people;—we have
neither burthens, nor distresses, nor grievances, nor wants.
Our debt is a fund of exhaustless treasure ; our income
exceeds our expenditure, by the amount of our pensions
and sinecures ; our taxation is but a sluice to drain off
the superfluities of individual wealth. Our empire of the
sea is• wore extensive and more glorious than in the
boasted days of our supremacy ; our influence in Conti-
nental Cabinets more powerful and decisive than ever.—
look to the criterion, and doubt these things no more,
yo moat incorrigible sceptics! ye " believers of incredu-
lous creeds !"—Look to the official account of the Re-
venue—and lie for ever silent.

From that test, then, of the nation's prosperity, we
find, that in the last quarter—in three short- months—
the Revenue of the State has, in one branch alone—the
Excise--necuessen ONE HALE !—That Revenue, for
the quarter ended April sth, 1829, was 9,351,449/.--and
for the quarter ended April sth, 1830, it is 9,105,6371.
--showing a decrease on the QUARTER of 245,8121.—
The Revenue for the year ended April sth, 1829, was
47,758,4101.—for the year ended April sth, 1830, it is
46,894,0611. so that on the YEAR there is a decrease of
864,3491.—Well may Ministers rejoice in their handy
work. Well might the Speech from the Throne ascribe
the " temporary distress" of the country to " the sea-
sons :"—and well may Lord BATHURST deny that the
petitions of the people afford any proof of the state of the
nation; and the Duke of BUCKINGHAM boast of visible
improvement, whilst he wallows in the luxuries of a
" land of oil and honey:"—Well may the Marquis of
CAMDEN assert'that the distress is not general, and that
the opinions delivered from the Throne were just and
well founded;. and Lord ROSILY N contend that" let the
distress be as general as it might, no benefit could arise
from inquiry?! WO may Lord BELZNBOROUGH vin-
dicate his Majeuty!!GOvsrament from the. unjust impu-
tation of withholding from the people any benefits which
they Could 'ennfer! And, well nuir=-" the FOUITH
