It appears from the Debates, that in a short time
the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER will submit What
is called "The Budget" to the consideration of the
Hnuse of Commons, and as the finances of the coun-
try are unquestionably at this moment of the first
importance, we have looked over the documents
which have been from time to time made public,
with a vice of submitfing to our Readers such a
statement for the past and inch an estimate for the
present year, its might be intelligible to them, with..
out those long details with which the subject is so
frequently incumbered.
By the Budget of IBM it appeared that altogether
(unless any reductions should take place of Which
the CHANCELLOR Of the EXCHEQUER wai not then
aware) there would be required for the service of
Great Britain, in round numbers, £17,000.000.
This sum it was proposed to raise as follows, via.

Land and Malt Tax • - ft 3,000,000
E :else Duties 11,300/00

far some of the above items have been equal to the
sums at which they were estimated.

Leaving a revenue of 423400,000 to meet an-ex-
pendkure of 427,00000.

It is fair to calculate, however, that the reductions I
which took place after the sums were voted, dimi-
nished the 'actual expenditure to 026,000,000 ;
nuking a difference between the expenditure and the
sum raised to pay it, of 82,500,000, which sum will
remain to be provided in the present year ; and the
CHANCELLoR of the EXCHEQUER'S Budget may be
thus anticipated s

Thus leaving a deficiency of £14,000,000, which
appears to us the utmost sum which it can possibly
be necessary to borrow for the service of the present
year, This sum will no doubt be easily raised, and,
at a low interest, by Exchequer Bills. It is in fact
requiring from the mosey market little more than
the sinking fund alone has brought into it, that
amounting to nearly 412,000,01.10, and having re.,
deemed in the last year £16,000,000 of our debt.
In ordinary years of peace it might indeed be
matter of reproach that we are obliged to obtain by
Exchequer Bills a Sam equal to the amount of the
Debt redeemed by the Sinking Fund ; but looking
to the state of the country and to the distress which
has been so universally prevalent, we cannot but con-
:gratulate our Countrymen upon the prospect of our
being enabled to make the financial arrangements of
such 'a year.• without creating any real additional
buitlien on ourselves, or on posterity ; and we can
not but think that;' if such be the result of the fortb-
cumin Budget, it will entitle his Majesty's Ministers
Ito our warmest thanks for the prudence, wisdom,
and energy, with which they have administered our
affairs,

[StI/tltEk/DER OF MONTEVIDEO TO THE
PORTUGII ESE.

This event is now put beyond. all question, by ac-
counts from Buenos Ayres of the 4th of February.
It seems to have taken place in consequence of tome
arrangement between the inhabitants and the Govern-
ment of Brazils.--Was this measure accomplished
with the consent, or in opposition to the wishes of
the Court of Madrid Which ever of these be th-
fact, the sovereignty may be now consid.Ted as sepa-
rated for ever from Old Spain. The following is An
extract of a letter from the Agent at Lloyd's s

41 BUENOS Arars, Fkaatraar 1.

" The Pnrturese have at length taken possession of Monte-
video and Colonio del Sacramento, without firing a shot. It is
understood that foreign shipping are to be freely admitted, wider
the same regulations as at Rio Janeiro."

MAILS.

By accounts from the France-Flemish Frontier, it
appears that the French Governtrient has ordered the
completion of the Colonial Battalions by drafts from
the battalions of the line ant a levy of recruits.—
From this it is inferred that the Conrt of the 'llll6lle-
ties has nut yet rcnounced its designs upon Saint
Domingo. _ _

Her Royal Highness the PRINCESS of WALES lett
Vienr.a on the 12th instant. She did not appear at
Court; but the High Chamberlain, Coca WLENA,
paid his respects to her. Her Royal Highness has
gone back to Italy. The reports of her intending to
take a journey to Persia seem to be confirmed.

Within these few days a great many vessels laden
with corn, chiefly from the Baltic, have gone up the
Meese, for the supply of the centre of the Army of
Occupation. This importation has caused the prices
to fall in these pans, as they had already done in
Picardy and other districts. The weather in that
quarter is spoken of as very favourable to the hopes
of the Agriculturalists.
