on the ioth the Chancellor of the Excheaucr made
Genarai statement in the House of Commons of the
reductions which ministers intend to make in the ex
pendlture of the country, and of the CONSEQUENT
amount of taxation which may be expected TO be re-
nitted. The total is about one million three
hundred thousand pounds, and this is made up by sa-
wings IN al! the departments of the State. The dis
cusSch on this subject was animated, the opposition
contending that the reirenchments were too small-
AN amendment was offered, that the army estimates
should 30 merely made for three months; which
rejected by majority of 1926 to 90. Another
amendment to decrease the army estimate from
oo.848 men, by the reduction of 5000 men. was
negatlved 167 to 81. In the debate, the opposition
stated that the force kept up in the Canadas was
much too large and that if the Colonial Government
was well administered, the colony could depend OIL
the militia Tor ample protection. They called upon
ministers to look to the U. States, where the whole
stating army did not exceed 6O00 men, scattered
over an extent of country equal in size to nearly the

marked that very little reliance could be placed on
Colonial militia and that the force asked for Cana

State Of Greece.-The decision of the allied pow
ers on this subject had not been promulgated To
all inquiries thereon in Parliament the Ministers an
swered that they not yet authorised to lay the
papers on the tablebut they hoped ere long to see
Greece in possession Of civil and religious liberty 1t

the Porte.
Extract Of letter received at Boston, dated
LIVERPOOL, Feb. %.
We have had some export demand for Flour and
the best quality has been selling in bond 26s to 27s
per Dbl. Were large supply at market, the
demand for export would scarcely maintain The price
that prices will be higher, and that the duly IN
flour, now lbs sd will be materially lower before har-
vest. The best Irish Wheat is selling at 8s Cd to IS
l0d per 10 lbs, and American Flour, for home use
would bring about Sos per brl.
