IRISH TAX.O'ION.

The net Revenue of Ireland for 1819 unwanted to
1,251,911111., while in IS2O it only amounted, inelossice of
the new tares, to 3,60,1461. being a decrease of 618,436'. •
There is here abundant evidence to shew that taxatio
has in Ireland, as well a• in England, reached its acme.
and that it is now actingithr part of &turn, and devour-
ing its own offspring. But there is still stronger evi-
dence to establish this fact. Since 'SOS taxes have been
imposed in Ireland which our Finance Ministers esti-
mated would produce three and a hull millions. In piiitit
of fact, however, they have not produced a single shil-
ling! The Revenne in 1.408 am•innted to 4417,1901..
being 812,5411. more than the Revenne of last year'.
This fact affords a striking illutstrationof the ignotasce,
obstinacy, and madness. for we can call it nothing eke.
of those who have for so long a period persisted in loading
an impoverished and exhausted country with burdens
which have never brought, and which all aensible men
were satisfied could never bring any Revenue into the
Public Treasury.

Extract of a letter from St. Helens, dated Mk De-
ember, 1310:—" ilom.s.invE's new house is lisiebei,
but not yet furnished. It is one story high, and *boat
two hundred yards from the old building, and Omits
three sides of an oblong square. The right wing con-
tains the apartments destined for General Illoatholon,
the Surgeon, and the two Priests ; the centre and part
of the left are allotted to Bonaparte, and the Orderly
Officer. Those fur Bonaparte consist of a library, draw-
ing-roum, diniog-room, breakfast-parlour, bed-chamber,
bath, and dressing-room, with a water closet: Mambo-
lon has four rooms. The whole are neatly fitted up in
such a style as you see in the country house of an Eno-
lish Gentleman of 2000/. a year. The garrets are it-
tended for the servants, and are awkward sod incomes-
nient, as the slope of the roof prevents one frees staled-
. isprigitt. ',wept In the reamer Vles Hewn. tide-
rodent of this, the heat caused by the rays of seediest
eon beaming on the slates, in the hot season, will fee-
der them as uninhabitable as the lead roofsofSt.
'at Venice. The disproportion of the accommodation
fur the Orderly Officer and the two Priests and Phyti-
cian, appears extraordinary, the former having precisely
the same in point of size as the three latter.—The cyan
yard contains a tank of muddy stater. The kitchen is a
separate building, erected at the end of the agnate, sad
contains every requisite accommodation.
" Bonaparte rode out some time ago to Sir Vriiiisen
Doveton's, in Sandy Ray. to breakfast, taking with him
a Sumpter mule, laden with provisions, and ate his meal
on the grass near Sir William's house. This was neatly
the first time he was on horseback for four years, and be
was so fatigued that he was obliged to send for the car-
riage to convey him hark to Longwood. He appeats
very unhappy. The tiovernor will have no commotoi-
cation with Bertrand, and Bonaparte will not recite
any, except through him. This em of vezatintris
said to annoy him consi.lerably, combined with the
other measure. adopted towards him and his followers.
tends to keep his mind in a state of continual irritation.
When any person belonging to the establishment of
Longwood comes into James Town, be most be attended
by an officer, if the prisoner himself is of any rank ; aid
even the English who are employed as menial servant*
about his household, roust be attended by a ;wrens,
called here a Provost. In both cases, the attendants
are ordered to overhear all conversation that may pass
between them and the inhabitants or others.
" Sir Thomas Reade bolds and draws pay for threesi-
tuatiuns, viz :—Adjutant General, Chief of Police, sad
Quartermaster General. This lut situation is paid as
Private Secretary, and the duty of Secretary it per
formed by one of the Aid-de-Camps.
" We have received information from England of die
termination of the proseudings an the part of the pre-
seention against" ne," for it is as great a crime
here to call her tidy Queen, as it is to call Beira-
parte Reeperer. In conmeloonee of the able support
given to her cause in the selueSps of The Times, that
paper has become as las& as ohject of suspicion aid
dislike to the Anthraitiseiteet Tit Aterning,Ciresible
formerly was, and every seater finnyd of it is immedi-
ately seised and withdraws from eirralation.
Madame Bertrand and fatally purpose leaving% Si;

education of her yeses elaildren is assigned as the mo-
tive for this step."
