The intelligence from the Continent is more scanty
than the importance of the present crisis, and the pre-
parations for political events, would lead us lo ex-
pect., We have only some notices of the movements
of a few distinguished characters towards the ap-
proaching Congress. A Mail from namburgb, which
brings Papers to the 12th inst., informs us that the
Emperor of RUSSIA was expected to reach Berlin on
the 16th, on his way to Ais-la-Chapelle. Mr. DES.
ottow, the British Secretary of Legation at Copen-
hagen, is on his. way to the same place, to assist
Lord CASTLEREAGH. Are the affairs of Denmark to
come again into discussion ? The Coronation of
CHARLES JOHN, as King of Norway, was to take
place on the 6th inst. the Anniversary of the Battle
of Dennewitz. An Edict, containing a new regula-
tion of the Prussian Duties of Customs and Excise,
was expected to be forthcoming on the 6th at Berlin ;
but we presume it was not published on that day, as
an article of the Bth takes no notice of it.

A variety of details of the closing military opera-
tions in India have been received in the Bombay Pa.
pers, reaching to the 17th May, the substance of
which we shall thus lay before our Readers. They
state, that on the 10th of that month the garrison of
the impatient fortress of Ryghor, after three days
spent in negeciation, had surrendered to the detach-
ment under the command of Lieut.-Col. PaOTISEn, on
condition of being allowed to march out with their
arms and private property. In the fort was found
public property to the amount of five lacks of
rupees. The PEtsiIWAIS wife was also in the for-
tress at the time of its surrender. She is to he
allowed, it is said, to Wife to any place she may fit
upon. On the 7th of May; Capt. Davits, with a de-
tachtnent.from Etrfeadier•Gen. SilliTles division/ came
op with NEeAvalota's camp, on the Godavory. The
river was crossed by our troops in' presence of the
enemy. They then formed, end advanced upon the
latter in admirable order. When almost on the point
of charging, NEPAUNKEIS held out a flag of truce,
and submitted, together with CIitsiNAJEE Rao A pr.s,
the PristretVe youngest brother, and another Chief,
. .
named Are Ara DEssAy, both of whom were in NE.
PAU NKERIS ta:Enp. The terms upon which these Chiefs
.submitted were, that they should accompany oar
army with their whole force to Ahmedouggerould
there await the determination of Mr. ELPHISISTOWE
sate the foture disposal of them. It was reported
that BAJEE Row was at Boorhampore, where he was
to remain till lie received an answer to a reference
made by him to Mr. ELPHINSTObtE. Some extracts,
descriptive of the country where our troops hale
been so successfully signalizing their valour, will be
found in another part of your Paper.

The Ministerial Papers are again treating us with
the most flattering hopes and representations respect-
ing the financial prosperity of the country. We de-
sire most fervently that the expectations thus endea•
voored to be excited may be fulfilled. From tbel
great and regular increase of the Revenue, and the
favourable appearance of political affairs," the
CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER is expected to be
enabled to provide for the service of the ensuing year
without a loan. How wonderful! that, after four
years peace, and with every thing smiling around us,
According to these flattering delineators, that we
should et length have the prospect of a year without
a loan !--Amidst all this boasted increase of
Revenue we hear nothing of any intention to
lessen the burthen of taxation. The CHANCELLOR
of the EXCHEQUER'S mesas of paying the long list of
Sinecuriste, and satisfying the cormorants from whom
he has borrowed so largely, may be augmenting, by
the undiminished infliction of the torturing system of
exaction and spoliation, which has so long preyed on
the commerce and prosperity of the country, but the
general situation of the community appear! not much
improved by all this vaunted increase of national re-
sources. What advantage does the nation reap from
this growing accumulation in the Treasury, and this
most gratifying and pacific order of :things?
Misery grows like a wild weed in our streets-the
sigh •f wretchedness echoes throughout the land—
the labours of the active are benumbed by over-toil
—.A vast Standing Army threatens our liberties—a
time-serving cupidity palsies British independence--
and the welfare of the nation declines beneath the
shade of an hoge and increasing mountain of
debt !—lt is ridiculous to talk of splendid pre.
(Teets, and en overflowing Treasury, when, with
all the present means and expected appliances
to boot, it is lamentably evident on the comparison,
that the expenditure far exceeds the revenue. If
loans are not contemplated, some other mode of
raising money most be in view, for it is im-
possible that the present income can be so soon made
to balance the expenditure. ,Suppose an increase of
revenue to the amount of three millions, and a dimi-
nution of expenditure to the amount of two millions,
there will still be 'deficiency of Us or seven millions.
This is the mighty state of prosperity to which we
