From THE Rio GRANDE.-Ihe schooner H.
S. Scrauton'fas arrived at New Orleans from
Brazos Every thing was quiet in that quar-
ter. There is but little news upon the Rio
Grande of much interest. the stirring scenes
which have been enacted uponthat line having
given place to the utter and insuf1erable dull
ness of line of garrisons where a robbery OF
murder is looked upon as great event. The
prospect of peace, too, renders the life of the
soldier upon the Sierra Madre line irksome in
the extreme, and he signs for the time when
the peaceful recall shall be blown through
the valleys of the Sierra, and in the silent
watches Of the night thinks of home and its
comforts. He feels that the bed of soldier is
not particularly downy- specially in prick
ly pear country, and that his path is strewr
with any thing but roses, though few sparct
sprigs of bright laurel occasionally are found ii
a dangerous and ruinous path to fame. But tc
such items of news as there are The Monter
ey Gazette states that report is in circulation
in that city that several American merchant!
have been murdered near Mazapil, but is una
bic to trace it to any authentic source.
The same paper states that the 10th Infan-
try, who have been garrisoning the city, have
been ordered out to the Walnut Springs.
Appropriate honors were paid to the mem
DRY of John Quincy Adams at Monterey by the
10th Infantry, on the 22d ult. A cannon was
fired every half hour during the day from the
citadel, and thirteen in the morning and twenty
nine at sunset.

city of Monterey to be killed There will be

ritas at the destruction of their pets. Thi.

TAXATION IN ENGLAND.-Previoust TO the late
revolution in France; the English Government
had announced their determination to raise the
income tax to five per cent BY this tax, every
man who earns $500 yearly. would have to pay
SO, and he who was worth $1,000 would be
compelled to pay $50 for the support of mon
archy, in addition to his share Of all other To-
cal burdens-such as poor rates, road and pris-
on taxes, &c. and in addition to the general
lax levied upon necessaries of life, even upcr
the soap he uses.
This additional income tax, was regarded in
dispensable, TO meet thedeficiencies ofrevenue
and the increase of expenditure.
But the free movement in France, alarmed
the British ministers, and they promptly gave
notice of abandoning the idea of imposing the
additional tax.
The national expenditure for this year, &C
cording to official estimates, exceeds $272.-
$50, 900. Her National revenues diminish
ing. afraid to levy taxes, to meet the def
ciency-how is the Government to be sup
ported?
England, although externally strong, is in
ternally weak, and those who understand
her real condition, in connection with the
agitations and revolutions around her, re-
gard her present condition as decidedly crit
zeal.
The political commissions throughout Con-
tinental Europe, must necessarially shake
the very foundations of the British Govern
ment.
