THE QUARTER'S REVENUE.

The returns of the Revenue for the quitter ending
this day, will not be made up until this evening, and
our Readers might, without any eztr 'ordinary stretch
of patience, wait for the official documents until to.
morrow ; as, however, sortie of our contemporaries ate
indulging in very wild speculations on the subject, it
nSay be as well to state a few (acts.

That; after the repeal of twenty-seven millions of
Taxes in n:ne years, the increasing consumption er com-
merce of the •country should make up the deficiency is
what; no' person, psetending to common sense, can
rifwxt; or, when last year Taxes to the amount of more
449'..thlie millions. weie repealed, and the commerce
arnd•manufactures of the country have been convulsed,
.the Proceeds of a Quarter, sharing largely in the effects
of the calamity, should equal that of the corresponding
Qiiiirtoi of last yeai, when we were in the heigh. day of
commercial pre'spet icy, is tun to be expected. Persons
who 14k. for this, would expect grapes from thorns and
figs iron) thistles. .

_ .
irie•illefote issential to consider the circumstances
unciei which the Returns for the present qtarter appear,
bgforg le compare them with those ofd former period.

taxes were repealed to the amount of upward of three

TAM to be reduced firm the amount of the present
4µther as compared with that of last year ; to this
ttrusube added the almost total stagnation in commerce
affecting all classes of society, and every branch of bu-
siness. Under such circumstances, the Avdenue must

S •

sitifer ; and that in various ways—first,
by lessening the demand and consumption of taxed
articles ; secondly, by checking commercial enterprise;
and •thirsllys bytacressitig the difficulties of collecting
ifs'!ii.i74es already due. Tlfe latter circumstance we are
oonvinced affects the-Revenue, in times like the present ;
16451 .PtitPle. ale :iware, fr r, to the honour of the
pessent.Minister...they have not made the demands of
GoVdi sisheni ptksi upon the necessities of others, but
b*n sbitOs 411 e considerstiOn in this respect.
nutifoilf•of tbh, we need only mention that *hen
10Mtier fur Iletefotchhire, applied to ,

tl e Lords of the Treasury for an extension of fime.in
the payment of Excise chides, though his solicitation
was not backed by any memorial from his Constituent.,
yet, their Lordships gave immediate orders to the Board
of Excisea to instruct their officers forthwith to afford
every faiility in the collection of the duties to those
persons who might be suffering under the peculiar
circumstances of the times."

The principal falling off in the returns of the Quarter
ending to•dey is in the Customs ; but uniting the Cus•
toms and the Eicise together, we believe the deficiency
.of the present Quarter, as comp:red with the comes-
' ponding Quarter of last year, will not exceed 450,00 a
while the taxes repealed for tliat period, are upwards of
750,0001. t•r s ty nothing of the other circumstances to
which we have alluded, as affecting the Revenue in the
present Quarter.

The produce of the Customs for the Quarter ending
to•day,• will be about 3,300,0001.; and that for the
Quarter ending sth of April, 1825, 2,200,0001. This
leaves an apparent increase on the Quarter just ending
of between a million and 1,100,090/ ; but it is to be
considered, that the Return of the Customs includes the
transferred duties from the Excise, which considerably
exceed the seeming surplus, and leave a deficiency on
the Customs.

I, the Escise we rejoice to find that several articles
yield an increase ; and as Commerce is recovering frum
its severe shock. the Customs will, we are sure, sr•on
become not only highly productive,• but even compen-
sate fully for the temporary deptession this branch of
our Revenue has sustained. The great sources of our
national prosperity are unimpaired; and we may say of
this country, what is said of Mount Atlas, that—

" While storms and tempests thunder on its bruw,
. .

And oceans break their ii4ows at its feet,
It stands unnumed, and glories-in its height."

The Bogota Constitutionnel of the sth January, which
has been received, contains the Message of the Vice-Passinext of
Colombia to the Congress of 1826. in which he states that Spain
still perseveres in rejecting all overtures of arrangement,
but that uninterrupted peace was maintained with all the States
of the South American continent. The Vic* PILISIDCNT alto alludes
to the late occurrences ht Peru with exultation, and gives an estl-1
mate of the receipts and expenditure of last year, which sbevirkthe
present prosperous state of the country.

German Papers to-the 31st ult. reached us this fore.
noon, but they contain no political intelligence- of any
interest. The sittings of the Hungarian Diet continue
without interruption. In the 77th, held on the
17th ult. his Imperial Highness the Archduke PALA..
TINS communicated to the Chamber of Magnates the
happy intelligence that his Majesty the &tram)* was
out of all danger, and it was then announced to the
Chamber of D.puties. It was received by both with the'
most ardent enthusiasm.

The Frankfort Paper, in ,an article from Leipsic,
dated the2lst of March, says—"" M. KAMPITZ, partmea
in the house or Fruit RICHTER, was brought in here

under arrest, the day before yesterday. He had drawn
bills of eschange to the amount of 26,000 dollars, and
when they became due, it appeared that he• concealed
the matter from his partner, and had employed the pro •
coeds to his own benefit. He had in consequence ab-
sconded, but was overtaken and arrested at Gera."

The Austria* Observer, received this forenoon, has
some accnturts from Constantinople, of 25th February,
but they contain little more than what was already
known through other channels. Our Ambassador to
the Porte, Mr. STRATFORD CANNING, had not yet at.
rived at Constantinople; but this Jaurnal says in a
note, " The Jitnissary of the Austrian Embassy, wb6
brought the mall of the 25th February, from Constan-
tinople to Bucharest, reported there, that he met Mr
STRATFORD CANNING at a short distance from the
capital, to which be was proceeding by land.

By the arrival of a J4maica Mail this forenoon, we
have received Colonial Papers to the 21st of February,
but they do not contain any news of importance. The
following notice received by this conveyance has been
posted at the North and South American Coffee-house:

" A ?bet-once having been established at Port Royal, a boat
from that Mee will apply for and receive frgm all vessels arriving
off that Port their letter bags to be forwardeM Kingston.':
We have received Unites Papers to the 10th
ult. There seems a growing animosity between the
northern and southern States of the Union. The Vir-
ginia House of Delegates have declared the Tariff
unconstitutional, as also the powers of Congress to make.
lurch and canals, or to appropriate money for those
purposes.. This is pronounced by the Richmond Enquirer'
to be an act not of faction but -retell; not adopted to
acquire power, but to preserve their liberties; and the
same Paver adds, 4 that Virginia is impelled, not by the
lust of ainrsiti n, but the sense of common dangers ;
not to put this or that man out of power, but to save
the Constitution from abuse, and to limit the acts of the
federal Government to its defined and legitimate fonc-
titms! She invokes, therefore, the co•oper ation of he.
sister States list the work of reform. She invites their
back the Government to the true
a•sistance in bringing
principles of the Lonstitutior.
A new York Paper, remarking on this act of the Virginians. ac;
cuses them of caring nothing for the Federal Union, except as it
may conduce to the aggrandisement of their own state. "They
are,' says the New York Journalist, "Virginians, not Americans—
they regard their .laves as much, if not more, than many of their

_ . .
/aim-citizens; and provided they can get the highest price for their
tobaccoomd pay the lowest price for what they consume, it is to them
a mattrr of Uttk moment, whether manufactures flourish or coma
coerce thrives:.

The French Papers of Sunday and Monday have
reached us. They contain accounts from bladrid of the Silt ult.
stating, that the present Ministers had lost the confidence of the
Royalists • and that if the French Government imagined that it
had provided for the tranquillity of the Peninsula by occupying
some d its fortified cities, it committed a dangerous error, and
would be compelled to lessthan year to recall its troops or to re-
inforce tht nt, in order to act hostilely. The SpatiiSh nation, we
are told, was growing tired of the prolonged presence of strangers

TIIE KING.

WI N DSO R, Avon. 4.
It is with Much pleisine we inform the poblici that the mildness
of the weather yesterday enabled his MAJESTY to resume his usual
recreations in the Great Park.

The Kum kit the Royal Lodge about one o'clock in his pony
phaeton, accompanied by the Lotto STEWARD, and attended by
outriders. lie drove himself through the most pleasant parts of
the Park, visiting Virginia Water, Sand Pit Gate, and other of his
favourite retreats, and inspected the various alterations which bare
been mating at the former place during his confinement. His
Maarrry's appearance was that of perfect cheerfulness; bearing no

marks of having suffered from illness. He returned to the Royal
Lodge at four o'clock, having been absent three hours, and pro-
ceeded to his apartments, where he dined and passed the evening.

THE ITALIAN OPERA.

Pietro terentita was repeated last night, and it Went off with
great success. The admirable manner in whith particular passages
of the Opera are executed has given the revival all its success; and
the greatest of its charms, beyoad comparison, is the 4gia of Bottum
Her performance of the duet with Custom. is an example of great
sineng, and was rapturously encored. In the last scene, too, after
the death of Oruntume, the fine qualities of her voice, the admirable
expression of her style, and the power of her acting, rivalled each'
.nber its excellence. l'zwroann and Content sang their duet very
finely, and it was encored. CAItAPORI sang her principal scene
with more than her usual spirit, and with great sweetness of ;one
and expression. l'oaxo:s Pietro is one of his best performances;
and upon this occasion he spared no effort to sustain his deserved
reputation. A most grateful piece of intelligence reached es on
entering the Houses; Madame PASTA'S engagement, it seems, is
finally concluded, and she will make her appearance in the course
of a week or two. The Opera was splendidly attended.
