RUSSIA.

ODESSA, SEPTEMBER 12.'
The son of the Civil Governor, M. Grugnhoff, ar-
rived here yesterday express, and brought the order
of the Minister of Finance that the free port of Odessa
shall remain unchanged till further notice, and on
the same footing as hitherto, and that the merchants
may unload their goods as usual.
Accounts from Calamata, in the Morea, state that
the Greeks had found 120 cannon, 10,000 muskets,
a considerable quantity of gunpowder and military
stores, in the fortress of Monarasia, which they took
by capitulation.
SarrEstaut 18.—We have received accounts from
Constantinople to the 14th. Perfect tranquillity pre-
vailed 4 the Turkish State continued to buy up corn;
about 200 ships had sailed from the Mediterranean.
We do not doubt here of the continuation of peace.

ST. PETERSBURGH, SEPTEMBER 20.
Ills Majesty the Emperor set out yesterday from
Zarskojeselo for Witepsk, to review the regiments of
Guards stationed there. It is said that his Majesty
will be here again in a fortnight. Their Imperial
Highnesses the Archduke Nicholas and his Consort
arrived here on the 22d. The new commercial port
of Kunda, in Esthonia, was opened on the 13th inst.
The importation of foreign merchandise and manu-
factures continues without intermission. The demand
is inconsiderable; all the warehouses are full; it has
even been found necessary to fence in a large piece
of ground near the Exchange, where the goods are
placed for want of magazines to secure them.

RIGA, SEPTEMBER 17.
It is now expected that the Guards have received
orders to march towards Moscow, which deserves
credit, and in fact gives us reason to suppose that
they will not be ordered to proceed still further to-
wards the Turkish frontiers. Hitherto, however, the
continual marches and counter. marches of those troops,
as well as of the others cantoned in the Governments
of Minsk and Witepsk, have had no immediate object
but exercising and reviews. Meantime the Emperor
h expected at Witepsk, and his horses have been
there there this fortnight; 40,000 poodsof ammunition
have been sent from the fortress of l3obroisk to the
Ukraine, whence it is supposed that the army on the
Truth is to be considerably reinforced, and the com-
mencement of hostilities is looked to as probable.

We beg to direct the attention of our Readers to
the Letter, which we have inserted in another part,
from " A Patriotic Englishman and Philanthropist,"
on the pretended increase in the Revenue. Our Cor-
respondent starts a new view of the subject, which,
if correct—and for ourselves we think it unanswer-
able—reduces to mere trifling all that has been said
about the differences of a few hundred thousands be-
tween one Quarter and another. The principle on
which this intelligent writer proceeds is of a simpli-
city intelligible to the plainest understanding. If a
population of twelve millions consume taxed articles
to such an amount as to yield a revenue—say of
36,000,000 of pounds, a population of fifteen mil-
lions, consuming at the same rate, while the ratio of
taxation remains the same, ought to yield a revenue
of £45,000,000. In a word, every additional con-
sumer ought, if all had been right, to have proved
an additional contributor to the Revenue; and it re-
mains for those who talk so much about the amaz-
ingly prosperous circumstances of the country, to
skew why this has not been the case.

The Paris Papers of Tuesday arrived this morning.

A Flanders and Dutch Mail also arrived this day,
bringing the following intelligence:

HAGUE, OCTOBER 15.
His Majesty opened to-day the Session of the
States-General with a speech, in which he gave a
moat satisfactory account of the present state of the
kingdom.
His Majesty states, that he continues to receive
the most unequivocal testimonies of friendship from
other Powers; and that, notwithstanding the events
in the Levant, there are still well founded hopes that
peace will be maintained.
The fears of an unfavourable harvest are vanished ;
commerce and navigation have net been neglected,
and there is reason to hope that they will become
more animated. The manufactures have not pros-
pered as might have been wished, but some of the
most important have considerably improved of late,
and there is little reason to complain of want of work.
His Majesty speaks with satisfaction on the diffu-
sion of knowledge among the people, and of the im-
provement also of the Fine Arts. The internal ad-
ministration of the kingdom is improving ; the com-
munications are facilitated by new roads ; important
works have been executed to prevent the inundations
of the Rhine, and others are in contemplation ; a
great reform is intended in the prisons ; the state of
the finances is promising, arid the new projects of
laws on that subject are neatly ready.
