OCT. 25. The regn!ations entered into With . Government for the payment of the duties upon bondrd goods is inv u l‘od in such obscurity that the public find much difficulty in un deistanding them, and the prudent cautions of Sir Charles Price are calculated to continue the delusions. One fact is, however, clear, that the faction which I. , ,overns the commer cial interests of the city is sufficiently poweiful to influence tie decisions of Whitehall. It would be an acceptable ser vice, therefore, to the commercial world to specify the anti- Iles to he redeemei by instalments, the length of titne they have been bonded, and to whom they belong; we think it would then clearly appear, tl-at those to whom the • litchi'. gencebas been extended have reaped great fortuees lir the chatiges that have taken place ; and that those against whom the original resolutions of the Treasury still operate, where duties are under a thousand pounds, are those whom a wice Covernment would have felt it their duty to .:rLtecit aglinst the enormous capitalists whose predominance keeps down the aclvity of the enterprizing and laborioni. Whatever may have been the intentiem of Min'sters in first nndertak ing to insist upon the payments of these duties, ne thing is certain, that it has confirmed the wavei ink, and int reased their influence in the city. The weight of taxes, the con tinnance of a war expenditure, with a nominal peace esta-', blish men t, and the almost total exclusion of our trade ftom the continent, have began to alarm the mercantile interests arid to shtw theta the fearful consequences of the system which had so long deluded the country. Ministers have found out the same, and between the danger of fresh loans and a diminished revenue, expedients are :adopted that must ruin the most respowible and overwhelm the leaser merchants with sure and inevitable ruin. The Ciro/tick, which on all questions of party is actively alive, has never taken notice of this partial and oppressive measure as it bears upon the ma jority of the trading interests. • Certain weekly journalists seem, in their partia'ity for the character of the Empetor Alexander, to confound terms with principles, and call that restoration, as in the case of Poland, which is little more than the consummation of that • system of intrigue which having failed in the use of force at former periods, would now flatter theta with tl.eir own laws, never worth much, the dominion of an obnoxious stranger. It may be asked, have the Poles forgot the sufferings they owe to Russian politics ? Or, du they expect v.) derive from • the philosophical benevolence of a despot, that which they have not been able to attain by their own ipavery and virtue ! Buonanarte, with all his tyranny, trea'ed this unhappy na tion with mai ked and singular attention, and he placed them under the controul of a power, the mildest and most con . siderate on the continent. But he still made 11FC of theni for his ambitious projects, and the military stren.g.th of Po • land was nearly extinguished in furthering the daring of universal dominion. If, under the presumed appointment of Duke Constantine. Russia engages in any new war, will • she permit the Poles to remain in tranquillity and peace ? The reply is too absurd to deserve a mouient's notice, and Illand may as well expect to receive ample justice from the Congress of Vienna, where she has no voice to i epresent her, as security and peace under the Czars of the Muscovite Lmpire. By letters from Cadiz to the Bth ult. we regret to learn that the malignant fever has appeared in that city.

DRAMATIC REGISTER. COVENT GARDEN. 681 THE NATIONAL REGISTER.. MR. TUMBLE'S CORIOLANUS. Mr. KEMBLE, who has been engaged fora limited number of ierformancrs, by the present managers of this theatre, made his first appearance last night in the character of Coriulanus.

In the ear y scenes of the play, his re presentation of the proud and fiery patrician was highly spirited anti natural, but it was as the character rose in interest and in ditfirultn, that the talent of the actor rose also. His last scene was a blaze of excellence. Mr. KEMULL'S appearance was greeted with thunders of ap plause. The company in the pit and the boxes stood up.— Handkerchie A Nisei hats were waved, and laurels thrown before him on the stage. We were truly pleased to tied, that his temporary absence from the metropolitan stage had not made the public for. gelled of the distinguished merits of an actor, to whom they are so much indebted, as well for the delight which his performances have long affOrded them, as for his exertions in the came of good taste white a manager. by introducing an attention to costnine, and causing the masterpieces of Sit ‘KESPI , ..‘It to be frequently per. teamed in the most attractive and efficient style.

It appears that Imperial reels have been danced at Vienna by the Emperor Ali-sander with the Eminess of Austria, and the Emperor Francis with the Consort of his Russian Majesty. Even the gave King of Prussia has been over come by the dancing mania : his partner was the Queen of Bavaria. The King of Denmaxic danced with the Arch duchess Beatrice, the King of Bavalia with the D uc h e . s o f Oidenburgh, and all the minor Prince s , pi en i p „ tenr i ar i es , &c. with such partners as .suited their rank and circum stances.
