Madame De Chateaubriand.
The Times, 1824-09-10T00:00:00

TO THE, EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Brighton, Sept. 8, 1824. Sir,-I have just receivea a letter from London, by which I am informed that in your paper of yesterdav there appeared srnne remarks upon Mla(dame (le Chateaudriand; which (if the report I received be true) appear to me as unfounded as they are cruel. I am iniormed that Madame de Chlateaubriand, who has as nobly employed her influence with her husband while he was in office, as she kas now nobly shared his disgrace, is represented as diverting to her own use the funds of an asylum, called " AIarie Therese," of which she was the plincipal fotn(ler. DeprivedI of lher fortune, as she has been, by the Revolution-married to a man whose ge- nerosity knows no bounds, whose lilerality is as cxten- sive as his real Tre)ns are contracred-let me assure you that the Viscountess de Chateaubriand, even in the days of ler power and influence, deserved yotir praise, as well as that of every enlightened Christian, for haviag, by her zaal; activity, perseverance, and disinterestetness, founded, and, I may almost say, supported so noble an institution. 8he has expended her income, though small, -exposed her health, thoucTh feeble, in this unidertaking. It has been my good fortune to be placed in a situation where I could learn the minutest details of her conduct, from a high personage now in this country; who, in sharinig her labours, has learnt to appreciate her inexhaustible charity. The cad that M. Ae Chateaubriand sought, and has obtatin d, has been to ofFer to those individuals which the misfortune of the times have precipitated into poverty and want, an asylum against their bodily as well as mental suffarings, well knowing how inadequate to that purpose wvere the common hospitals. There is a pri(le, in the re- membrance of hetter days, which prevents many persons, however destitute, from taking refuge in these publie esta- blishments: nothing, Mheretbre, rould be more delicate than the idea of o& erig them, under the special patronage of Her Royal Highness Madame the Duchess rI'Angoulene, such an asylum. It is supporteAl by voluntary contributions; and the most distinguished persons of the state visit it by turns, to fulfil those charitable duties which are cornmand- ed to us by the Gnspel,-to relieve the suffering, to attend the sick, and to console the uinfortunate. New, if warmtnh of political feeling has betrayed your correspondent into the expr(ssion of insinuations which can only recoil, in such a case, upon the author of themn, let me entreat you not to allow the opportunity to escape to make to this noble lady, now deserted by the vulgar crowd, an avoloav. which wdil he RR hebnn,irahle ta VonrnPlf aS it will be gratirying to all higlh-imindled men. A.B. -.- we nave readily given insertion to the preceding letter, knowing that the highly respectable wvriter of it has the very best mcans of information on the subiect. MADAJME DE CHATEB4UBiIXAVD.

Sir,-l have frequently been surprised at the culpable negligence and rapidity with which the mail carts pass through the most crowd- ed parts of tihe city. This evening, a cart driven most fiurioubly down Ludgate-hill, ran over a gentleman at the corner et' Fieet- street, who might reasonsably have supposed himself in a state of safety, and who certainlv never would have mnet with an accident, by which he was seriously injured, had comnmon precaution been used on the part of the driver. Despatch in the conveyarice of let- ters is doubtlessly a desideiatum, but this consideration ought not to be pushed too far, and unquestionably some plan might be hit upon, (periaps starting a little eatlier, or, to ure a common phIa-e, making up for lost time when the danger vrould not be so i .minent), which wivthout creating any great delay in the end would rend^r it unneces- sary to driye with so much rapidity through the crowded streets of the maetropolis, at the risk of sacrificing the lives of matr *ndivi_ duals. Is there not, Mr. Editir, some regulation obliging tlhe drivers of these vehicles to give notice of their approach by the blowing of horns? 1 trust if you have a spare co:ner, you will call the atteii- lion f ihe nahlie to this q,,hi-te an rm.

The Paris papers of Sunday morning and zveoing arrived last snight. Thc Moniteur is principally lillcd with the debates of the Chamber of Peers on the 7th of May, when the la.v for the septen- nial rcrnwal nf the Chamber of Deputics was passed by a majority of 117 to 67. The M1onileezr hac likewise a notice to the merchants, from the office of the Minister of Financc,acquaintin; th1em that there ilave beens introduced iito France, and cbpecially Paris, 6ilvcr bars, which liave been m-st in auch a manlier, that their Furfaces are>?D- Tposed. of very fine silver, wlhile the internal part contains a gved!- quantity of alloy. It is the more necessary for merchants, bankers, arid others, who deal in gold and silver, to be on their guard against this fraud, as the officers of the Alint have lately found differences o-f 100, 200, 300, and 320 thIoueandthisr in the several layers of silver bars composed iia this manner. The Eloilc,ecvikrently with the view of keeping up the alarilm it Iiat lately endeavonired ta cxdtc on tile subject of Southi America. talks vaguely of a largc Icvy of trGops in Spain, of which the grcatcr portion is to bc ernployed againsttihc ex.colonies of FERDINAND. Thesc accouints ought to be received with peculiar distrust. NYe ear they are cre;lited i this couintry much more than they descrve; an;d that they tend, in sonme degree, to paralybe the operations of the English merchants engaged. in commerec with thlose countries. Would G-overnment at once adopt the resolution to declare them in- .dependent, all these machinations woultI instantly cease. ILOXN DOY, WEDNXESD.lA r VJY 19, 1824.

We nowv publish tbe usual Annual and Quarterly Re- turns of the State of the Revenue up to the 5th of the prc- seut month. Thev are ' highly satisfactory,"-that is to -ay, in tbat sort of language by wbich a man is called " Your Excellency," who has no very excellent qualities about him. The returns exhibit some anomalies. There is an) apparent increase in the last year of above a million, and a decrease in the last quarter below that of the cor- responding quarter in 1823, of four hundred thousand pounds. This discordance, however, is soon explained, wheni it is cbser-ed, that to the revenue of the last year the whole of the celebrated Austrian repayment is added, not onie portion of wlhich appears in the last quarter of that year. The revenuie, therefore, of the year 1824 being, or pretend- ing to be, 5O,412,592l., but of which the Austrian repay- ment of 2)-, millions inakes a part, would, without that re- payment, amount to no more than 47,912,5921, and would in reality be less than the revenue of 1823 (49,374,3111.) by 1,459,719L., whilst the revenue of the last quarter is, as we have said above, less than that of the corresponding quarter in 1823 by 400,0001. It appears, therefore, that the decrease of revenae is rather accelerated than retarded- a decrease of 400,0001. in a quarter being miore than a de- crease of 1,459,7191. in the vear. And this occurs whilst wve are in a state of prolonged peace, and whilst new regions are-we had almost said, daily-opeening to our enterprise; or to the enterprise of other nations. It is satisfactory, no *doubt-, that many taxes have been taken off; and to a cynical maii, perhaps, the satisfaction would be increased by reflecting with lhovw muclh unwillingness, oni the part of Government, the relief' has been wrungfrom them. Yet still, with all this remissiorn of taxes, we aver that the state of our revenue proves that wve do not participate to the tle- gree to which we ought, in the opening commercial advan1- tages of the world. In the Customs of the two years, there bas been an increase of the latter over that of the former, by 833,2741.; but the Excise of the latter year falls off by more than that sum of the Excise of the former; whilst the Excise of the last quarter exceeds that of the correspond- ing quarter in 1823, by 344,4001.; antI the Customs actu- ally come under the head of decrease by 98,350l. The re- mission of taxes, also, ought to increase the consumption of articles: there is no such effict evidenlt in these returns. It is clear, therefore, that taxes have not been. remitted to the extent required by tbe necessities of the people.

Letters from Havannah, dated the 13th ef fMay, were recein,ed yesterday by way of Charleston. The discontent of the merchants and planters of Cuba at the interruption to the commerce of the islaud by the Colombian privateers was daily increasing, so much so as to threaten, at no very distant period, a separation from Spain, unless the evil was removed by some amicable arrangement with the colonies. In periods of European warfare, the traders of Cuba were reconciled to any privations and disasters they might be ex- posed to by the increased price which produce borein the markets of Europe. At present all produce is low, and the losses to which they are exposed far greater in proportion, for it is estimated that of late one vessel in three which has left Havannah has become prize to the Colombian priva- teers. Even the small coasting vessels were not secure against their enterprise and activity. In consequenceeof this state ef things, and beiug unable to obtain froiA Spain any support or protection, the commerce of the island was almost wholly at a stand, and the opinion was becoming general, that the only step which could rescue it from ruin, was the aclinowledgment by Spain of the independence of the colonies.

A subscription opened in Petersburgb, for the relief of the sufFerers by the late inuadation of that city, is said to amnount to 11 inillions of rubles.
