SATURDAY, JANUARY 8.

•
During the PAST WEEK in novelty, variety, compre-
hensiveness, and condensation of facts, intelligence, and
amusement, the STAR. may challenge a comparison with
any Paper printed, or ever printed, in this metropolis;
and the Conductors are persuaded that such is the general
impression of the Public. New orders through the news-
men from all parts of the kingdom, votes of subscribers
to news-rooms, the quotation of its early intelligence, and
its opinions in the chief Provincial Papers, its adoption
in the best Continental Reading-rooms, and the preference
shewn it in all places of popular resort in London, are
flattering and most encouraging proofs that the unremitted
exertions of the Conductors to produce the FIRST and BEST
of London Evening Papers, are liberally appreciated.

At twelve o'clock this day a Cabinet Council met at
the Foreign Office, in Downing-street, and continued in de-
liberation when this Paper went to press. The Council was
attended by the LORD CHANCELLOR, Earl GREY, the Mar-
quis of LANSDOWNE, Lord DURHAM, Viseount MEL-
BOURNE, Viscount PALMERSTON, Viscount GODERICH,
the Earl of CARLISLE, Viseount ALTHORP, Lord Hot.-
LAND, the Right Honourable C. GRANT, and the Duke of
Ricitwown.

It is stated in some of the letters and extracts from Con-
tinental Papers received this day, that some dissensions are
occurring among the Polish Nobles ; but we trust it
cannot be true, at such a trying moment. With unanimity
we do not despair of their cause ; but difference of senti-
ment among the leaders would be fatal to it. When a
hundred thousand men are said to be on their march against
them, disunion would prove destruction.

• The Belgians are occupied in choice of a Monarch, which
is certainly no unimportant object, and one which to accom-
plish safely, for their own freedom and independence, requires
the utmost circumspection and sagacity. By intelligence
received this afternoon, it appears to gain credit in some
parts of the Continent, that the new throne will be first oc-
cupied by a brother of the King of BAVARIA, who is a
Catholic, and closely allied to the Emperors of Austria and
Prussia. We much doubt the policy of the Belgians making
such a selection.

We have frequently bad occasion to express our diffidence ,
of what was likely to have been the course of Russian
policy, towards France, anterior to the Polish insurrection.
The peculiar tardiness evinced, in establishing the usual
relations which exist between States in amity, by the
appointment of Ambassadors, led to an inference, that was
unfavourable to the pacific intentions of that Power. There
can be no doubt, that the internal troubles which its Govern-
ment has now to encounter, will make a considerable
change in its views ; but it still appears not certain that
Count Po zxo DI BOAGO has positively received his
credentials ; although, as will be seen in the Foreign
intelligence of this day's paper, the French Ministers speak,
as if they calculated on that event, soon to take place.
It appears likewise, however, very evident, that a
large and active part , of the French nation are
anxious, if possible, to join in the struggle; and we appre-
hend, notwithstanding the pacific character of the French
Government, there may-be considerable difficulty in restrain-
ing the warlike spirit of . the French people, should the
Polish struggle prove one of any length.

It seems to be evident, from our statement of the
produce of the Revenue, that there is no surplusage
above the current expenditure, to warrant any reduc
thin of taxation. The surplus of 1829 little exceeded,
a million ; and to effect a show of /educing the debts
three millions of Exchequer Bills were funded: but
Ibis is, as we might say, an Irish way of mitt
debts, that is paying off ONE and borrowing THYME I Thai
ih the present year, there is a further defalcation in roma .
of two thirds of a million, while new levies, dee. &c. hi-
dicate an incomie of expenditure ! Taxes may be varied
and shifted ; but it is plain the same amount wit
be load, if 6e astetest of the public Debt is to be
establishments maintained. Tits, an
