No Annual Budget within our recollection gate
more instant and general satisfaction than that. which
the CHANCELLOR of the EznnarMit brought down
last night to the House of Commßns. Millions or
debt paid off,—millions of taxes r4duce4,—increas-
ing revenue _from increasing prosperity—Expendi-
ture within our Ways and Means I—such were the
novel and cheering features of the statement which
the Right Hon. Gentleman submitted to the House.
Even Mt. MABERLY, who in the early. part of the
Session sought to embarrass the steps of Government
by his sweeping proposition for the repeal of the As-
sessed Taxes, was the first to acknowledge that the
statement now made was in every respect what it
ought to be, and that be had no wish ever to hear a.
better. Mr.lluste, too, owned the generous inclina-
tion to swell the note of praise; and only wished!
that Ministers would go on year 'after year doing as
they have done.

The Debt paid off within the current year, amounts
to the clear sum of Three Millions ; and no new debt
has been incurred.

The Ta xes reduced within the two I tst years amount
to about Seven Miliions ; so that we have been paying
off debt with a leis revenue than before.

Tie Customs and Excise Duties for the half year,
%Lich will end on Saturday nest, both 'promise a
large increase beyond what they produced on the
cc.rresponding period of last year; the former to the
of at least two hundred thousand, and the
Litter of one hundred and fifty thousand minis.

The Supplies voted this year amount to £16,976,743.
Th.: Ways and Means to meet these are estimated at
£17,335,9t'0; and the estimate has been taken at the
lowest probable rates of production.
With the prcsspect thus before us of a considerable
so-ples of reduction in the revenue, there is of course
corn;.)ined the prospect of a still farther remission of,
taxes. The assurances which the CHAVCIII,LOI Of
the ExcitEquen w.ve on this head were most grati-
fying: a Govensurent world do all that could be
closet" he desired only that it should not be " over.
pressed:* but pei mined to perspere in that moderate,
yet steady course,by which it had already arrived at
results so beneficial as tho.e hich he now announced.

Frankfort Papers to the 27th ult. and the Austrian
Merger to the 21st. reached us this forenoon. The
Government of the Republic of Berne, has published
an official declaration, ." that all the reports lately
spread, and which announce that the independence of
Switzerland would be threatened, are entirely without
foundation ; and that nn this point as well as on that
of pretended marches of troops, said to be on Ole
point of taking place, there is nothing which can an-
thorise just uneasiness; but that on the contrary there
is every possible reason to depend on tne conttnnation
of the friendly dispositions of the Powers towards
Switzerland."
Accounts from Smyrna of the 16th of I.ty, state
chat the isle of Samos presents the same appearance
as Ipsara ; men and women are all animated with the
same enthusiasm, and resolved to defend themselves
to the utmost. •Intliat place where the island is ac-
cessible•they have dug thtee trenches of sufficient
length, each 10 fathoms broad, and as many deep,
forming three successise barriers to stop the as-
saibusts. Behind the third is a very strong battery,
placed so as to produce the greatest effect possible.
The insurgents of the islands are at present snaking
a tour through the islands to levy contributions.—
Their armed vessels, which are dispersed, are after-
wards to unite, and go to meet the Ottoman fleet.
A letter from. Naxos of 2d May, says—" Yester-
day twelve Greek vessels, three of them with three
masts, and nine brigs, anchored on our coast. Ap
alarm suddenly spread through the island, the inha-
bitants thinking that the Turks were going to land,
and most of them were flying into the mountains,

when, at last, perceiving that they were Greek ves-
sels, they returned. But how great was their sur-
prise, when the Commander of the armament de-
manded of them, in the name of the Government of,
Hy&a 250,000 piastres, 400 oxen, 60 barrels of

bendy- 440 of oil, and 400 hhds. of wine. The Greeks
ere at author in a place to the south of Naxos, where
they Wend to remain for the holidays. The Wend is
spike amble to comply with this demand, so& r can-
h.. Also affair may be arranged."
