On this statement the Report contains the following
remark From the preceding comparison it appears,
that the ordinary expenses if the year 1825 are not
only covered by the ordinary produce of the Revenue,
'And the remains of, the first Loan, but that there is a
very considerable surius ; and that the proceeds of the
new Loan martin untouched, to meet any extraordi-
nary expenses that may occur."
Tiw,s far we seem, .then, to arrive at the following re-
sults, via. That the expenses of the cement year are
71400c:1,d for, and a
.srpkirs,l4-iti hand of upw,arfls of
tian millions of dollars; that the proceeds of the Loan
lagt contracted (being the. .6 per teat. Loan .centracted
inAinuary, 1825, for 3,24,',1,0C91.) reinainld to meet any
et tratpcdinAry expenses:that wise; and that, ea-
cltGinK from the estimate of the IteTenue, the run .re-
rceivatile from the firbt .14;a1),.. of 1,4/6,3 l 5 dollars, the,
income if the lfepithlic:h found, in this early stage of
pglios,al existence, to amount to its.erpenditure
ithiu 391,5t.3.2 apit44u .

The Revenue of the'Customs fair the current year, is
eitiosated in the Report at 5.275 722 doll +r,, foundation
the basis of the receipts of 1823 and 1824, with thee&
ditihn of 500,000 dollars—for an expected increase of
trade. The actual receipts for the firs• six months, end-
ing June 30th, are no less than 3,100,000 dollars; the
'port of Alvarado alone having produced 1,900,000 dol-
lars. This is the only branch of Revenue, of the pro-
grey of which specific advice has been received in this
country ; but letters received from Kezico, writtpo
early in September, state, that the receipts into the Trea.
soil, generally were rapidly exceeding the estimates.
From the above statement it will appear, that the
Proprietors of Mexican. Bouds have no reason to dottbt
Alm ability of that great Republic, not only to pay the
interest, but the prsocipal itself, of its COI; e4a, debt.

, . • • MIRAMICIU CONFLAGRATION..
t Friday, the Distaa, Locieut, from Mirrimichi, boned
to Dumfries, put in at Whitehaven, after a pzesageoftil
days, having left that settlement on theidd of October.
Sbe brought home 16 passengers (all. Scotch), who
escaped the dreadful conflagration. SatoDDAIRT, oneof
these passengers, says, that his fathere mother, eldest
brother, and three sisters, were all burnt to a cinder.—
Another says he made his escape from his bed..and got
into the water for safety, where he remained several
hours, and with difficulty saved himself even in that
opposite element; that during the time of his immer-
sion, the hurricane and fire raged with most frightful
violence, and so rapidly did the dames run from place
to place, his bed-fellow did not succeed in making his
e.ca, e, and' was burnt; indeed, the fire in some places,
it is said, liter:sly flew upon the wings of tile wind.
travelling at least twelve miles an Ismail Cotes, horses,
pigs—in tact, all kinds of cattle weie seen, alter the fire,
hating down the river in large quantitie,,, having
sought ,the water for safety,. but there perished.' iq is .
impossible, another passenger observi s, to. ow •an
adequate idea of the de:unction. The names of several
hundred =Kiwi) to have perished had been given in;
but no corieet and complete account could be olwaieed
up to the time of thesailiog of she Diana. It is thought
that a great number had ,perished in-the woods. •
The Quebec Garet, of October 27,: contains an pc.
c• unt,of the late dreadful 6re at Miramichi. . The fol.
loss iug particulars, relating to a subject so mournfully
interesting, accompany the statement which has already
appeared. in otsr columns.:
" A.Gentfemsn who left Miramichi after the late
calamitous conflagration there is description of which
we'add) arrived op town yesterday, via Fitdericton.
We understand that the Gentleman's visit is chiefly
with a view to obtain assistance from this Province.
and we learn that he was tcphave an interview with the
Governor-in. Chief to-day, alter which, it is hoped, that
such steps will bt taken, as to afford speedy rel.ef to the
pressing wants of many thousands of fellow-being-,who
Xtve lost, on the eve of 'g rigorous winter. in many re-
spects. their eilsivf mew*. saskictioce. The disasters
caused by the arm, we have been left iss anderstimd.
are beyond description. Not less than one hundred
lives are well ascertained. tb have been lost, either by
the fire, which spread, from the violence of the wind,
with such rapidity, as to prevent escape, or by water,
when there were no other hopes of finding the mean;
of flight. The property destroyed in houses, lands,
timber, mei chandize, and shipsiis said to be amazing;
nothing but misery, and want, and desolation ate lett,

behind.
66 The following is a list of the sufferers, with the
amount of their total loss in houses; furniture, goods,
&c. at Fredericton, which is estimated at 52,5221.

"In addition to the above calamity at the seat of go-
vernment; we learn that dreadful fires are ravaging the
forests around Fredericton, and in the settlements of New
Ir eland and New Jerusalem, in the rear of Gagetown.-
Tile Mills at the Oromecto, and several houses, have
also been burned up. Alarming fires arc also stated to
be spreading devastation in Miramicbi. Thhty houses
are said to have been destroyed at that place; and we
are informed by the last arrivals from the westward,
that the fire raged to an extent of nearly 20 miles on
the St. Andrews read.
" Many of our poorer fellow-subjects are thus, by.tbe
visitation of the ALMIGHTY. driven from their house,.
merchants and mechanics deprived of the produce of
their industrious labours, and many other individuils
suffer extensive losses. Amid these scenes of aMictfon,
we turn to the active and benevolent steps. immedia,vly

FROM A NEW HAMPSHIRE PAPER.
I! The Hallowell Advocate says, an extensive and ea
lamitons fire has spread its desolating effects over a
large region in the County of Somerset. It has not
confined its ravages to the woods and fences, but like the
fire in Alna and Wiscasset in 1823, has swept away all
the houses and barns in the whole neighbourhood. The
following are some of the particulars :—ln Guilford, 4
houses and 5 barns; in Ripley, 11 houses and 9 barns;'
in Parkbam, 1 house and five barns; in Harmony,
four houses and five barns; in Dover, one barn ;
and in Moorstown, 1 house—making in all the build-
ngs destroyed, 21 houses and 25 barns 1 These are
townships that have been lately settle I, ar.d the
houses are few and scattered, so that the fire must have
had a wide range to have taken in its course so many
buildings. There have been nurains in this vicinity for,
a long time, and the earth, and everything upon the
face of it, has become so completely dry and parched,
that when a fire has once commenced, it is almost im.
possible to extinguish it, or set bounds to its ravages.
" The following Gentlemen, we have since learned, have been
appointed to received and solicit donations in this City for the desti-
tute persons, vis...-lion. Matthew Bell, Andrew Patterson, Esq.
T. W. Sattertwitait% F.s4 J.G. Irvine, Esq. and C. F. Aylwin. Esq."

We have inserted at length, in the last page of this
• day'S STAR, an admirable letter from M. MOLLARD La.
Perna, a Merchant at Lyons, assigning his reasons for
' embracing the Protestant Faith, and forsaking the Ro-.
man Catholic Church, in which he was educated. For
the publication of this letter, the Courier Francais is,
as we stated yesterday, now under prosecution by the
Fiench Government. We say nothing of the far-famed
liberty of the Press in that country. The nature of
that liberty may be inferred, when such a letter as this
is considered obnoxious to public tranquillity.
But we intreat our Readers to ponder on the spirit of
the Romish hierarchy, which cannot endure the exami-
nation of the tenets which they profess ; nor suffer an
intelligent Christian to express, in terms of the meekest
humility and devout piety,his reasons for worshipping his
CteZAT•a in that form which he, to the best of his judg-
ment, is induced to conceive most consonant to the pre-
cept and practice of the Divine AUTHOR of Christianity.
Can we believe, after this,that theßoman Catholic Church
was, is, or ever will be tolerant of those opinions which,
on even the most conscientious grounds, and uttered
in the most reasonable and respectful language, may
vary from its own Code ? No, , certainly ; if that
Church has the power, it will unalterahly lock op every
human faculty in fetters of adamant. There is no room
for doubt on this subject, when we have before our
eyes the living evidence of a persecution, no less
real than that of the Inquisition, but limited in degree,
only because of the limited power of the persecutor.
