ANTWERP, JANUARY O.

Last night. about three o'clock. a dreadful storm
raged in this city and ►he neighbourhood. Many
houses were greatly damaged.
Count Loison, Lieutenant General in the service of
France, died at Liege on the 30th of December. aged
45. He has left 500 francs to the poor.
We observe with regret that the crime of suicide
increases in a terrible manlier in our country.

FRANCE.

PRIVATE LETTER.
" PARIS. JANUARY 6.
" An extreme degree of anxiety prevails in come,
qttence of the continued indisposition of the King
the state of his health is .it present considered even
worse in consequence of the fatiguing ceremonies of
the New Year. The greatest importance is attached
to every change he undergoes for the better°, for the
worse ; as it is upon his single will that the exissence
of the present Ministers. and the course of policy
which they pursue, entirely depend.
66 It is understood here that the time of paying the
contributions has been extended to eight years, and
that the sums to be paid at present are greatly re-
duced in proportion to the payments of the next. and
the following years, in consequence of the state at
distress throughout France. The enemies of the go.
vernrnent in the provinces, lase the most flagitious
means to'convert the distress of the seast,n to their 1
own purposes. Famine is in France looked upon as
the most dangerous and certain means of exciting in-
surrection ; and in order to render its effect more se-
vere, corn has been set fire to by nightly incendiaries.
Great losses have been suffered by individuals to such
a degree. that in many districts regular patroles are
established, exclusively to protect the produce of the
barest.
" The Duke of Wellington has been joined here
by the most numerous and brilliant Staff, with which
he has been hitherto known. to be attended. It
amounts to near three hundred persons, 'and- is emu.
posed in a great proportion of foreign officers. The
. appearance of so many foreign uniforms gave rice to
a report that the commanders of all the hoeing' corps
Ot the Army of Occupation had arrived. which VC'S
iastsatly laid bold of by the Freirch, as an additional
proof of the want of concord between the Allied
rowers.
"'The French at present flatter themselves that a
war is inevitable between Russia and England. The
power. resources; and magnanimity of the former are
contrasted, as invidiously as untruly, with the re-
sources of the British Government. The Emperor
of Russia has. it is reported. and even believed, pro-
posed. not only to abandon his pecuniary claims, but
to withdraw his troops from France, and to co-operate
with a twee of 600.000 men. which he has actually
on toot, in checking the influence of Griat Britain
upon the Continent I France too is about to assume
a military attitude, and Marshal Macdonald is arriv-
ed in Paiis, to assume the command in chief of the
French armies l These are the illusions with which
the French indulge their animosity against England
at the present-moment. Another report was, that
Marshal Macdonald was to succeed the present &b-
-olster of War, whose principles are found too conge-
nial to those of the Opposition. The Marshal was,
it is. said. consulted by the King bow far the troops
might be relied on ; to which he answered, that be
would stake his lite upon their fidelity—rather a
hazardous step for one who has been a witness of the
laxity with which a French soldier interprets his
allegiance.
66 The testimony of the Marshal was deemed of
such weiot, that it was urged to the Duke of Wel-
lington as an ygoment.tor withdrawing a part of the
Allied troops. and an arrangement for that purpose
is undostood to be insisted upon by France. 66 The
English wish to change the Ministry, because it'has
identified illicit with she pepple," is another cry
throughout Paris. It is certain that the present Mi.
Witty hale-not the best dispositions towards the ebe.
racier and probably the interests of England. Trio*
change of temper is discernable not only tea the lan-
guage of their partisans. bet in the false and owe-
awned sallies, which daily pass the cinsoreship of the
press. A great degree of freedom- in the publics.

We have purposely avoided, hitherto, any discus-
sion respecting the deficiency in the Revenue, exhi-
bited by the Official Document published in the STAR
of Wednesday; nor do we yet intend to enter deeply
en the subject. The Document, without comment,
is itself a text for the serious contemplation of every
Member of Parliament, and of every Political Eco-
nomist ; and folly justifies all the views which we
have for some time been taking of the actual state of
the country. Our present object in alluding to it is,
on the one hand, to caution our Readers against hasty
deductions, exhibited by one party for the mere pur-
pose of fixing blame upon the Government—or by'
another, to prove that Ministers are perfectly Loma•
culate ani infallible.

Party views and bickering' on a question of so
much magnitude, are portectly rntemptible ; nor is
it of the smallest imp.onance to the general result
whether the deficiency arises from English or British
deficiencies, from the repeal, the cessation of war
tales—or from actual defalcations in the regplar
revenue of the country. To harp on petty distinc-
tions and modes of classification, may suit some
men, and may please others ; but these squabbles
will be treated with the contempt they merit by
every man of a sound mind in the comMunity. The
broad, the undeniable fact, will alone receive their
decided attention.—ne Palk Amara: is ust attest.
to the Prablie Erriwahlart
From this a plain question proems itself. Which
is the most practicable rtempt in such a. predica-
ment—to increase the Revenue or to diminish the
Expenditure f Men may argue as much as they will,
and endeavour to an elope the subject in a cloud of
words, but after all, the country must either raise
more money, or find means to do with less.

Cao more money bit wrung from the country than
is now levied ? We tart, that in the present circum.
stances of the country, the thing is absolutely impos;
Bible: the defalcation is the Revenue proves this; for
defalcations arise true diminished consumption, and
diminished consumption from diminished means for
individual expenditurc. Therefore, however, unpa-
lateable it may be to some individuals, the public
expenditure must be reduced. Private individuals
are now compelled to make halfa-guinea perform all
the offices to which formerly a guinea was appro.
priated. Government will find that it must do the
same—there is no choice left.

Official details respecting the melancholy result of
the Expedition sent to explore the great African
River Congo. oi 'Zaire. have reached the Admiralty.
The particalars are given in another-column. We'
are happy to find that the extent of the mortality was
less than at first reported.
Our Readers will recollect. that another Expedi-
tion, more particularly directed to the Geographical
and statistical 'amnia Won of the interior of Africa.
was also lately sent alit Wider Major Psnuu. Of
this no unfavourable accounts have been received.
and the hope is. that ere long 110010 interesting ac-
counts of its progress wit/ reach this country.

' At a late hour last night a Flanders Mail reached
the Post-office, but the intelligence brought by it is
not of a prominent descriptirw.
The visit of the Ki'o of the NITHZRLANDS to
Luxemburg!) seems to have been for the purpose of
examining personally the state of that neighbourhood
with respect ta a supply of corn. If we may credit
the accounts in the printed Journals, the result has
been that there is a deficiency, for they intimate the
probability that an exportation will soon be prehi-
bited ; but we know, from the attention we have paid
to the statements in these Papers, that the secret bias
of the Editors is in bleier of restriction, and there-
fore without better authority than any yet before us,
ere are not prepared to believe that it is already de.
termined to shut the pmts against Expormtion.

CATHOLIC ArFAIRS.

mot Tlli MUSLIN WVIGNf NO POST of _Tar Itu JANUARY.

lc Having stated, kit Satut'day, oa competent au-
thority, that it was the opinion of Ministers them-
selves, that the Catholic question would be carried in
the ensuing Session of Parliament, we were prepared,
as usual, to encounter contradiction. We have,
however, to add, that Lord LIVZRPOOL himself, the
Prime Minister, has signified his intention of sup•
porting the measure, and of course the certainty of
its success."

Yesterday the Portuguese Ambassador transacted
businns at the Foreign Office tdr a considerable time.
Tuesday evening, Mr. FISHER, the King's Messen-
ger, was sent eff with dispatches to the Duke of Wm.-
LANGTON, at Paris.

Tuesday a Cabinet Council was ordered to be sum.
mooed t meet yesterday, which assembled at the
reignFo-
Office at two o'clock, and was attended by the
LORD CHANCELLOR, the Earlof LIVERPOoL, Viscount
SIDMOGTH, Viscount CASTLEREAGH, Viscount MEL-
ViLiAt, the CHatacrxwa of the EXCHEQUER, and Mr.
CANNING. The Council continued in close delibera-,
Lion for upwards of two hours.
The shipment of Negroes which we mentioned in
oar Paper of Wednesday, bad arrived at New Or-
leans From New York, consisted, we have since learnt,
of criminals from the different jails of New Yost,
whose sentences of imprisonment, some inhuman
speculators had procured to be commuted into trans-
portation, and by undertaking to ship them off, had
thus obtained a power over their persons. to carry
them to any place where the laws might be such as
to permit their selling them like any ordinary cargo
of staves, or lumber. The Authorities of New Orleans]
bad, as we stated, refused to permit them to land
bit we hope also to hear. that they have added their
endeavours to bring the speculators in this abominable
traffic, to that exemplary punishment which they so
justly merit.
By the Mail of yesterday we received letters from
Cadiz to the 20!11 of December, and from Madrid
to the 26th. The latter merely allude to the preg-
nancy of the Qualm and the hopes the courtiers en-
tertain of her safe delivery. The etiquette of the
Court would be to announce the joyful event three
months after it had been declared by the physicians,',
when rogations would continue in all the churches.
A vacancy had taken place in the Ministry of Finan-
ces. This had been filled by Dan Maim,/ GARAY,
whO held the same office under the late Cortes.

The French' Government appears to be exerting
itselt with great energy to meet the large pecuniary
demands spun it. Our Readers ere aware that an
Act of the Legislature has been obtained, authorizing
the levying of the first taut-twelfths of the contribu-
tions for 1817 upon the assessments for 1816 ; and
now we observe that an Order has been issued by the [
Prefect of the Department of the Seine, which. we
presume. is common to all the Departments, direct.
ing the Collectors to proceed forthwith with the col-
lection of these four-twelfths, and to have the whole.
collected by the SOth of April next. In the mean
I time, M. OUVRARD is said to have been successful in
[effecting the loan, which has been for some time
Inegotiating in London.
Two persons. of the names of Cede and Moreltaie,
the former a seller of umbrellas, and the other a
miller, have been condemned by the Tribunal of
Pontoise to three months imprisonment and a 6ne of
100 francs ; the first for having spread false and
alarming.intelligence. and the other for uttering se-
ditious cries.

A Swiss soldier, who had served twenty-two years
in the French marine, has lately gone to Geneva in
search of his country and his parents. Carried off at
the age of seven years by some French soldiers, not
far from a lake, he has but confused ide4s of the
scenes of bii early life. He remembers having passed
the fort of Ecluse, and slept at Grenoble. He has
successively traversed Geneva, Thom), and Le Va-
lais, to recognize the place of his birth, but still with-
out success.

A lady of great wit in Paris (we presume Madame
de STASI.) who receives at her house the illustrious
&wails of all epochs, said the other day to a foreign
Minister—" My house resembles an hospital ; it re-
ceives the wounded of all parties I"
The Pops had attached to the title of Marquis of
Ischia, which be conferred on the Sculptor Curova,
an annual pension of &WO Roman crowns. This ce-
lebrated artist has disposed of this revenue in the fol-
lowing manner :—First. a fixed donation to the Ro-
man Academy of Archeology of 600 crowns. Se-
cond, 1070 crowns to found annual pi jars, and a
triennial prize for painting, sculpture. and architec-
ture, which the young artists of Rome and the Roman
States "only are competent to obtain. Third, 1001
crowns to the Academy of Saint Luc. Fourth, 120
crowns to the-Academy of the Lynx. And fifth, 1010
crowns to relieve poor, old, and infirm artists resid-
ing in Rome.
A letter from Constantinople. dated Nov. IY, says,
44 The Soliman Effendi has returned from his mission
into Persia, and it appears that he has perfectly suc-
ceeded in adjusting the misunderstanding which
existed between our Court and the Shah.—For a long
time no event has made so lively as impression
on the Porte as the bombardment of Algiers--as
much perhaps from a wish to give every succour to
the disciples of Mahometanism, as from paid at seeing
the concert with which all the Christian l'owers have
joined in hostility against its African dependencies."

perished. To heighten the misfutuue, all our dogs
have been lost in the snow except one; they were a
