REFEXUE OF THE LAST Qll.
(nom THE siustin. usitcuaL)

The Ministerial hirelings and the venal press in town
and country have been loud and long in their exultation
lac the alleged increase of the Public Revenue for the

last quarter, as compared with the corresponding quar-
ter of the last year ; and, we doubt not, Ministen them-
selves, who have for some time marked a coming storm
in the strong quarter of the landed interest, chuckle and
are delighted at the circumstance which, IF 'Tani, at

first sight appears extraordinary. Such exultation may
well enough become all thou who live upon or who are
benefited by the taxes: and may naturally enough be
expected from narrow, conceited, and half-informed, or

selfish politicians. The increased tone of confidence and
the noise and swagger of official and demi-official pre-
sumption may, and no doubt does, impose upon the
inconsiderate and unwary, upon those who are too is-

dolent to think for themselves, or wbo are warped by
prejudice or party bias.
The truth is, as we have long since and repeatedly
asserted, that such increase of Revenue as is now boasted

is a cause of dejection rather than of exultation. Nay,
start not, reader : Is the tradesman benefited because

his landlord has this year exacted more rent from him
for the premises he occupied than be received from hi n
the year before Is the farmer enriched because the
parson of the parish has been enabled to screw• more
for his tithe out of him and his neighbours than hereto-

fore? Is the parish at large benefited because the rec-
tor has increased his income out of the means of the
farmers of that parish ? In all these cases have not the
many who contribute the less on the whole, in propor-
tion as the few who take it from them have the more ?
No man in his senses can have a doubt on this subject;
and the same principle and reasoning precisely holds
good with respect to taxation : the more of the people's
money which a Government requires for its peculiar
use, the less must the people have for their own. And
the less a Government costs any conntty, the mare %al
the people of that country have to live elm, to em-
ploy in trade, to expend iu improvement% or to p-utat re

FORGERY ON THE BAXK UP sGuTLAND.

PARIS COURT OF •SSIZE, 04 T. 25.

The trial of Antes .11' Dougal, alias 11 Wiwi: harper,
alias Pardon, commenced this day to.fore the Court
of Assizes. He was indicted for having. committed
certain forgeries upon the house of Barillon and Co.
in Paris, and the Bask of Scotland, and circulating
them knowing them be forged.
The prisoner, in contradiction to the declarations of
numerous witnesses, who recognised him as William
Harper ll'Dougal, that his name was limes thrpor,
and that he had generously substituted himself for
his brother, in order to save him from an ignominious
sentence.

If the Revenue had decreased to the like amount, how
would either of these, or any of the industrious us-
paying classes, have been injured ? Ministers nee.it

employed fewer spies; or they swer hare diaritairth,d

And would the country have been Injured by this?
mast not rather the stock of industry, which is at
'once the parent and the nurse of wealth, have been
increased by an accession of nutnbc:s to the heads or
the hands which must then labour, but which are now

The prisoner had lived in Edinburgh in 1819 under
the name of Debreton, where he taught the Fr-neb
and German languages. He disappeared 'milieu!),
before the forgeries were discovered, and an outlawry

name of Capt. William Harper. and lodged in the
most elegant hotels be could find. Some time after
he waited on M. Barillon, the banker, and presented
to Lim a letter of credit from the directors of the
Bank of Scotland for 1,000/. sterling. This pretended
letter of credit, which had a false stamp and all the
appearance of the Bank of Scotland paper, was not
inspected by M. Barillon, who allowed Harper to
draw two bills on him, one for 600!. and another for
4001. Drafts which he gave to different persons in
discharge of the expenses were also paid without hesi-
tation. The amount of these drafts was 12,699 francs.
The Batik of Scotland, knowing nothing of Wm. Har
per, allowed his bills to be protested, and M. Barillon
discovered he had been duped. It was discovered that
he had fled to Ghent, but on the application of the
French Government lie was delivered up by the autho
tithes of the Netherlands, and on the 231 of March
lodged in the prison of Lille. He there made a very
strange declaration. Ile asserted that he was not the
person accused, but his brother, and that be had, in
concert with the wife of William A:'Dougal, planned
his escape. The mode in which lie alleged be effected
this, be said was that his brother hiving been sent for-
ward to Lille under the care of a single officer, lie
who had followed him on horsecack, when the carriage
that conveyed him was about to leave the yard of the
Inn nt Courtray, stepped into the coach and quickly
put on his brother's cloak and cap, who escaped.—
James now insisted that he was only liable to the
-nislinvent for assisting in au escape.

The indictment, however, charges the prisoner with
being the saute person wh3 bad been successively
knees* under the names of Debraton, Harper, and
M‘Dougell, and the first point to be estakiiehed
on this singular trial was the prisoner's identity. The
whole of the sitting was employed to this purpose.—
Twenty-eight witnesses were examined, with some of
whom he had lodged and boarded, and nearly the whole of
whom recognised the prisoner as haring lived in Paris
in. 1819 IStO, under the name of Captain Harper.
T. all this evidence the prisoner opposed a firm denial,
and to the witnesses he was frequently abusive, per-
sisting that it was his brother, awl not himself whom
t4e witnesses bad seen in Paris.
After the Advocate-General and the prisoner's Coun—
sel were heard, the President summed up the case, and
the Jury having deliberated for three-quarters of an
hoar, declared the prisoner Guilty-Ist. of brgery of
commercial and banking writings; 2d. of having used
a forged stamp of the Bank of Scotland; 3d. of forgery
of private writing.
The sentence of the Court was, eight years hard
iabour, pillory, branding. and 500 francs fine.
