;UrniJIIR OF van AMOUNT OF THE RUS
SIAN ARMY.

The Russia* troops, at this moment;' are stated t'
anwunt to •the alarming anallser of 912,000 men, delu-
sive of the cotinisation forms, the permanent ansy.of
41beria (the number of which is not very accurately
known), and the Polish army, which, in truth, amounts
only to 95 or 30,000 son, sad whisk the Russians bold
i n sovereign contempt.

The 91,2090 men at present inuelled wader tha

Making an aggregate force of 912,000
Such is the statement wade in a ministerial paper, for
what purpose we know not, except for that of making
an impression on the English public. Bet imposing
a 4 this force appears, it is net actually so formidable as
it looks. The finances of Russia are so much below the
level of her physical strength, that of all the great Powers
.if Europe, she is least able to carry on extensive ope-
rations for a length of time beyond her own frontier.
In all her conflicts with the Turkish Empire, her army
ia•the field has fallen short of 100,000 men.

PARLIAMENTARY PAPER.

The Report of the Select Committee of the House al
Commons appointed to consider the several Returns
spade tathe orders of that House in 1819, 1820, and
relative to the sums assessed. levied, and es-
pealed, on account of the Poor, in England sad Wales,
'has been printed.
-it states that the Returns are nearly complete; that
it appears the expenditure has continued to increase
fromirlBl2 to 1820—the first period avenging
g. 11,8-141. I tbe second 6,844,2901.; and the third
7,490221. ; but the annual abstract shews that this
increase has not been progressive year by year titraigli-
out the whole period, and that It is not now proper
sire. The returns in 1820 and 1821 will show who.
ther the amount has continued to decrease, and trt
Committee have been informed that the greater num-,
her of the returns which have already been received,
exhibit a more or less considerable diminution. There
ere, however, several exceptions to be found in pard-
rube counties to the results drawn from a general
average. In the counties of Devon and Surrey there
wAs an excess not inconsiderable in 1818.19. over tbe
preceding year, and a slight excess in Bedford. Cm-
lwerland, tiloucester, Huntingdon. Lincoln, Middlesex,
Northampton. Rutland. Westmorland, and the North
and East Ridings of Yorkshire. In other counties of
lingl *old there was scarcely a diminution, and in
Wales, generally, an excess. in Cumberland, Lei-
cester, Lincoln, and the West Riding of Yorkshire, the
r 1819-20 shows the greatest amount. The eicep-
t;oas to the statement that as to the two last years of
tti hic6 there are retinas, there was a slight diminution
in the second, arise in the counties of Chester, Cum-
berland, Derby. Durham. Leicester, Lincoln, Notting.
ham, Warwick, and the West Riding of Yorkshire.
