REXBURG, OCTOS CR 4.  According to accounts from Trews. M. Foiik heard the news of the rejection of h s appeal by the Court of Cessation with manly composure. Letters from persons who feel an interest ►n his fate, which he received at thae same time, greatly consoled and affected him; but his increasiag bodily weakness hindered him from answering them.

This decrease of 805,598/. in the quarter, compared with the produce of the corresponding quarter of last sear, is the more discoutagiug, when it is considered that there was an increase in that quarter of 837,264/. compared with the corresponding quarter of 1820. It wilt be seen in the above table that there is in the C•stotus, Stamps, Post-office, and Miscellaneous, • total increase of 198.2051, but it is more then counterbalanced by the falling off in the Excise, amounting to no less than 819,2294 This decrease in that great brunch of revenue is attributed to the repeal of the duties on malt, salt, and leather, clueing the last Session of Parliament. The produce of these articles in the quarter ended 10th October. MI, was 3,361,1954 ; but a Ministerial Paper of last evening states, that in the  i 805,598  quarter jolt Enda they hove only productd 2,411.9781.-i—atsking a different of 1,139x2171. To this it inlay be 'objected dist the reduction of 'the ink duty will sot take place until the Ist of lanoary ; but admitting that, iiic-onientplatten of that event, the dealers have Ihmted.their presetit stock,yet this will trot satisfactorily account for io great a decrease in the Excise for the quarter as 819,229/.— The reduction of a duty upon any article may be expected to produce increased consumption; but from the treat falling off in the Excise, there is reason to apprehend that the Consumption has not increased. Indeed, the decrease in the assesstd times, amounting to 140,304/. in the quarter just ended, affords toleralr!'y conclusive evidence of reduced expenditure in all the branches of domestic economy connected with the Excise. Independent of the effect of the reduction of taxes, it is totally impossible that the Revenue must out suffer from the inevalent distress of the country, the existence o 7 which no minion of Ministers, however blessed in his own tilde with ease and affluence, run pretend to deny. In Ireland the payments into the Exchequer, from the 5,11 July to the 28th September, it is said have fallen short of the corresponding payments in the corresponding interval of last year in a sum ,of 80,347/.; and that the whole diminution from the sth January to the 2.511. September was no more than 103.632/. The Evening Paper from which we have copied this statement considers the result at highly favourable, considering i he distress which lies latt!y prevailed in some parts of that country ; but this is not a correct view of the subject. The distress arose out of the failure of the potato crop, the general sustenance of the poor, and their want of means to buy. But what has been the effect of that state of things? Money and provisions have poured into those parts of the country from England, and also from parts of Ireland not afflicted by the visitation. This supply of wealth, where nothing but poverty and misery prevailed before, even in the best of times— this activity of commerce among a population which, in their highest wealth and prosperity, were accustomed to subsist merely on the produce of their potato garden—must have proved beneficial and not injurious to the Revenue.  The Paris Papers of Tuesday hove arrived. Gen. BERTON WAS executed at Poitiers on Saturday. His associates, &swats and JAGLIN, will suffer at Thouars, to which place they have been transfeired. The other Prironer, Dr. CAFFE, c.•mmitted suicide. A few hours before the time fixed for his execution he contrived to sever the femoral artery with a sharp imtrumeut, and bled to death.  The intelligence from the east is satisfactory. The Etoile, a semi-official Paper, and ns such the more entitled to credit, when giving testimony in favour of the Greeks, stater, " that the last news from the Morea confirm the advantages gained by the Greeks over the Turks ; and it appears certain that after some contests two l'Achas have been taken, with more than 1,200 horses or mules, laden with baggage. The result of these advantages is the entire dispersion of the Ottoman army. The Greek Government, which fled with so much precipitation from it. place of residence nt the time of the preceding reamer, has been declared to be nt an end by the Chiefs of the army of the Hellenists. They have appointed a new Government, whose principal members a►e MAURO( ORDATO and Prince
