IT has been stated that the outgoings of the financial year just. expired exceed the income by no less a sum than 20 it must not be supposed that Ministers did not originally foresee an excess of expendi ture over income, and provides accordingly, or as nearly as they could ; anti the true method of stating the question would be, to let us know, first, whether the actual expenditure last year hap• exceeded the per manent and temporary revenue conjointly ; and next, whether any, and how much of temporary revenue may be rendered thrthcoming for the commencing year ; as it might be too much► to assert, that not a farthing of temporary revenue could be raised fur the year 1817, in the same way, or from the same sources, from which 'above 17 millions have been raised for the year ending 1816. In looking over the i'c•cns of temporary revenue, we cannot, for example, see why the 9 millions from the Hank should stop at once. It must therefore be clearly understood, that the ex cess of expenditure over revenue for last year was cal culated upon and provided for by Ministers ; but the difficulty will be, if the expenditure is not reduced for the commencing year, to find temporary means to meet it beyond the permanent revenue of 9 or 10 millions; to which sum indeed, at the most, our annual expellees ought to be reduced. Indeed, even with respect to the year which is just expired, we should suppose that Ministers have adopted such reductions as must have sunk the expences below their original estimate, so that they will have a sum to carry forward in their favour : but this reasoning proceeds upon the supposition, that the taxes also have actually kept up to their estimate, which is more than doubtful. With respect to articles of temporary revenue, those of last year will be seen in our Correspondent's letter, and, as we have before said, we do nut know why, it' a necessity existed, they might not be partially carr:e I on. Some oC them un doubtedly terminate, and their places must be sup plied to the extent to which the ex/anises of the year may render it necessary. Upon this point, therefore, as all the worM—that is, all the me nicd world—thinks and talks much, we also shall venture to offer our advice and opinion. Nfinis ters will have some difficulties to encounter either way —whether they endeavour to reduce the expenses, or to raise an income which they may please to call tempo rary ; but which, if it is to be raised every year, it were better to call permanent at once, that the nation may see what it has to expect : hitt our firm persuasion is, that the easiest way is the honestest also ; and that less difficulty, less practical difficulty, will be encoun tered in reducing the expenses of government, than in raising a revenue of the nature we have described, in the present condition of the country. By the Mail which arrived from Flanders on Fri - day, we are put in possession of a fret strongly illus trative of the spirit of disunion that prevails between Belgium and Holland. The Papers and Letters from Brussels are dated. the 30th ult.; and the principal subject to which their contents relate, is the Importa tiou of Corn to ruuntry front the nearest pert&of JANtrAAY 6. the Continent. This must be considered as a matter of considerable domesti.: intevst. It app:rars that am angry discussion had taken place in the States-General at Brussels, on the /and-export of Corn from that coun try. When any argument was urged in favour of the measure, the audience in the gallery testified their dis r.pprobation in so noisy a manner, as frequently to interrupt the proceedings. The people of the N ether lainTs labour under the iniprcs.lion, that their interests are lost sight of in the desire of favouring England. and of gratifying the Dutch merchants. The Bill h.tthre the Chamber.; was carried by a majority of 72 to Z. The speech of 11. IZEVPHENS is very important, as ' it shows the strong conflict of interests, the decided opposition of opinion and breach of unity which exist lwetween the old and new provinces of the Dutch government: from u part of this gentleman's speech it also appears, that exports of grain to Trance we:e among the objects of apprehens:on. An opinion pre vailed in this country, that the exportation by sea was also .prohibited; but this rumour appears to be un founded. It is well known, that other corn may be exported from Holland than that which is grown in Belgium : this supply can be procured from the Baltic and Poland, though more di,tant, nt a cheaper rate than from the Belgian provinces, which are so muelt nearer, but where that article is in so much greater demand. The King of the NETDERLANDS is gone to Luxem burg, attended by PatNee FREDERICK ;wd the Mar. Shut of his Palace, with a view, it is said, to witness the situation of his subjects in respect to „rain, in that the scarcest quarter, and to adopt such measures as may bugged fur their iinmediatu Saturday we received the Paris papers of Wednes day lu.st. They do not contain any intelligence of much importance. The King received on Tuesday last depu tations from the Chamben of Peers and Deputies, the Ministers, Marshals and Generals. The debates in the Chamber of Deputies on the Law of Election in France have been conducted with considerable spirit and ability. This important dis cussion has nut yet terminated : we shall be enabled to give the result in our next it - umber. The official part the Monitear is filled with D c . crees respecting the National Guard : there is also one, raising the town of Pan, in Navarre, tae birth-place of Henry IV. to the rank and privileges of a " good town of Fra.:cc." One of the Decrees contained in the Monkeys of Tuesday raises Marshal Oudinot to the situation of In. Spector-General of the National Guards cf the Depart ment of the Seine, and places him on the Committe or Council over which Monsieur presides as•Colonel-Ge. neral of the National Guards. It is the province cf this Council to watch over the interests of the National Guards generally throi , , , ,hout the kingdom ; and we need not add, that its influence is excessive in giving any requisite tone or temper to the public mind. We do not pretend to know so much of state secrets as to be able to trace these new honours conferred on Oudi not to any other source but that of royal gratis 'ale. It will be recollected, that he flamed the King to Ghent, and is considered as one of his Majesty's per sonal favourites.—Nis presence at this Ihrmidable Council Board will, therefore, be doubly gratif ing to his Royal master, because if it be true that the French Princes have set up a faction behind the throne, and are in the habit of using the National Guards as in struments to promote their political objects, the King and his ministers will find in Marshal Ondinot, :it least, one staunch supporter of moderation A lamentable catalogue of crimes fills the columns of the minor French Journals : assassinatiim nicans of poison seems to be a prevalent mode of gratit in k the cupidity, or reveagct of the lower orders ; who cetii to he left in the most deplorable ignorance of the epoonon principles of right and wrong. It appears by a letter, purporting to be frcm Madrid, that the Jesttits have been restored to their property and privile . , 7 es : this is in direct opposition to the ac counts lately received from Spain, stating, that the Inn& of the Clergy were to be made available forthe wants of the State ; anti which accounts we are still inelined to confide in. The French Journalists are no admirers of the present Spanish Government ; and they are therefore not scrupulous as to the intelligence they give from that country. There is in the same French Papers an article from Augsburg, dated on the 20th of Decem ber, which positively states, that a Papal Bricl is ime mediately to appear for the reduction and regulation of the Monastic Orders generally ; and, of course,. Spain included. A droulful fire broke out at Smyrna, which would have been attended with the most fluid conaequen.l;?s had it not been for the prompt and active assistance afforded by tile officers and crew of a Frcmit frigate in the harbour. &aimlay two Haruborgh Mails arrived.
