Fuiha in their great financial menture, an:l shaken in thcis seats, ministers fled refuge to that system of retr,:nehment which they had embnteed beiiire, but with less inflexibility than when their own authority was at stale. They re-considered the roughing part of their estimates, and curtailed them, in smite instances perhaps, with too unsparing a hand. In this manner considerable cli inges have been avoided, and no apprehension can be entertained, save lest the work of reduction should be carried too fir, rnd the grand primary object, the math teatime of the country in its fulness of glory and power, should be sacrificed to the wish of regaining popularity.

The Hamburgh Papers ,•ontain a copy of the new Ilaisian Tariff, which, it is stated, has received the ranction of the Emperor, though it was not, at the date of the last adviecs from St. Pctersburgh, officially pub lhough this new arramamedt will give in creased facilities to all manufacturing and commercial nations trading to Russia, none ss ill obtain so large a share of those advantages as our own lat rc h Ants ; and we consider it as a new proof of the cordial friendship subsi,ting between the Russian Cabinet and ours. A steam boat has lately crossed the English Chninsol, and ascended the Seine to Paris. The active insagiam lions of the French see in this circumstance a fruitful germ of important consequences; and they already speak of !Pans for rendering Parts a great Commercial depot.— The ;team-boat, though opposed by the united time of the wind and stream, made its way in the apace of little snore than sixty hours. By the latest advices from St. Helena, we have a dif ferent verNion of the story, that Buonaparte had been shot at by a sentinel, for trespassing beyond his boundaries. The facts are, that the sentinel, on perceiving that Buo naparte and his attendants were passing the prescribed lintits, called to them to return. No attention being pail to this, he rapidly proceeded after them, in doing whi,;ll he fed. At the same time the ramrod got loose font his musket, and as he was replacing it, Buona parte conceived that he was hauling the piece with as intention to shoot, and so reported it to the Government. On an enquiry, it proved that the musket had not been loaded, and no thrther notice notice was taken of the af fair. The sentinel being asked, during the enquiry (not a Court Martial) if he would have shot Bounaparte, firmly replied—Yes ! Buonaparte, according to report, has distributed . gohl among the Malay slaves on the island, with the view of inducing them to rise in his &your. This is very improvable. The city of Breslau is going to erect a monument to Prince Blucher, at an expenee 4 . 30,000 dollars. The King's stag-hounds were lately turned out near Itipley, in Surrey, and had an excellent run of three hours and a half. Of a numerous field, only 20 sustained the tiaigues of the day. A little boy, about seven er eight years old, mounted on a piney, without a saddle, rode through the chase, and was in at the taking of the deer; he had a pin-betiwe on, and was an interesting object with the sportsmen. His piney carried him through every obstacle; he came from Weybridge, and was sup posed to have rode 50 miles.

Prince Leopold has announced his intention of again attending Divine worship at the parish church to morrow. His Serene Highness leaves this place on Mon day or Tuesday nest, for Carlton House. During his pedestrian rambles yesterday, he sheltered himself from u sudden fail of rain, under the collonade of Walker's Li brary, to which many of our promenading fashionables bad also recourse.

The arrangements for the Princess Charlotte's domes tic establishment are nearly completed. Lady Emily Murray, daughter of the l)uke of Northumberland, and Lady John Thynne, have been appointed Ladies of the Bedchamber. The Cobourg livery is to consist of dark bottle-green coats, as hethre observed, with white waistcoats and breeches; the coats superbly laced with gold, similar to those of the Prince. The carriages are built, but the linings and decorations are not yet fixed on; an excellent set of greys are also purchased, and Mr. Phillips, the newly appointed Steward, has taken possession of Camel ford house. Botley, near Chertsey, belonging to Sir Joseph Maw bey, has been taken for the Princess Charlotte and Prince Lawld, as their country residence. The Queen has ordered a great number of wedding, cakes to be distributed on the day of the royal nuptials. On the maniage of Queen Anne, when Princess, with George of Denmark, a very small annuity was settled ' upon her husband. The consequence was, that in the second year of her accession to the Throne, she sent a Nlessage to Parliament, and they granted the Prince 100,0001. a year should he survive her.

NUMI3I I :A IX. SALL'S IOPUI.I SUPREMA EST LEN' !midget Ina Slant inunnal gem. nee In c:lins redder, g4tus, Nee pea ire pot's!. -- v tu. FROM the earliest period of medicine, the approach of Spring has always been considered pregnant with mini fill evils to the human frame, and various have been the expedients by which mankind have endeavoured to avert orcounterart them. Throughout the whole living creation, whether animal or vegetulde, the change operated by this season is particularly striking; the circulati o n o f th e v i ta l fluid, whether this be blood - or vegetable sap, receives a new impetus, its quantity appears to be increased, and. functions long lain dormant ere resumed with renovated' vigour. All nature seems revived by its genial influence, " all is activity, all is life." Shall man alone then suffer inconvenience and distress front a cause which to the rest of the creation is the source of joy and delight How is the fact% and what are the causes of this per .eiennt of blessings? The former is undeniable, the latter are to be sought for in the vices inherent iu the artificial habits of society. It is sufficient to mention Apoplexy, Gout, and Cutaneous diseases of different descriptions, which are usually more prevalent at this season, as evidence of the fact that a certain change is effected either in the state of the solids, or in the composition or distribution of the fluids by the influence of the Spring. These diseases are said to be much more frequent in this country in the pre sent day than formerly, nor would it be an easy matter with truth to contradict the assertion; let us endeavour then to ascertain the causes to which such en untievour able change may be justly attributed; this will necessari ly lead to the means by which the evil may be diminished. We will for the present confine our attention to Apoplexy, a disease so sudden in its attack and so rapidly final in its termination, that it is commonly in our power to use pre ventive means alone to guard aguinst its operation. This disease, as is well known, consists in a sudden effusion upon the brain, of blood or serum, in consequence of the rupture of some vessel within that . Whatever therefore either increases the rapidity o; l tr i circulation in, or determines a greater quantity of blood to the bead, may give rise to this effieuon. If it be the natural effect of Spring to increase the quantity of blood and to impart vigour to the vessels, a greater predisposition to the disease must necessarily be produced. Were man to assimilate his mode of life with that of the inferior ani mals, it is probable that he would be equally free front attacks of this disease; but in him the predisposition is called into action by various exciting causes inci dent to his habits mend pursuits. With these at present we have nothing to do; it is the predisposition only under consideration; nor are we now to enter into the question of this as produced by other causes .than that natural plethora, the consequence of the influence of the vernal, season. The increus4frequeney„ef /apoplexy, is I know to be attributed to other causes beeidea; this, these I may hereafter treat of; ray business is to en qu i re if t hi s a l so has not in modern times a more extensive operation than it formerly had. To detemiiee this question, it will be requisite to compare the different modes of life in the two periods, as connected with thisNsubject. Ido not know that individuals of the present time, indulge more freely than their ancestors in the pleasures of the table, so fruitful a source of plethora in the blood vessels. Goal living has always been the characteristic pro. pensity of an Englishman, but I think that our fore• tethers adopted more precautions to obviate the -hurtful effects of such indulgence, although perhaps not with au express view to this purpose. What we call the preju. dices of superstition certainly prevailed much more former. ly than at present. Without adverting to the time when the Popish religion was the general religion of the court. try, when the practise of overfeeding was seasonably in. terrupted by the frequent fasts enjoined by its ordinances, I may observe that within our own memory, the majority of persons within the pale of the Established Church,kept with much regularity, the full or modified fasts sanctioned by its Canons. In this case the season of Lent must have been singularly beneficial, a vegetable dinner, or even a meal confined to fish alone occurring at least twice in a week, must have haul some evident effect in counter. acting the ill effects of a constant use of meat and wine, especially if adopted at the very time when the accumu. lation of blood and increase of vigour were most to be dreaded. A considerable change has certainly taken place in this respect within the last half century, perhaps within the last thirty years. The ptrportion of Dissen. tors is within this period considerably increased, who to. tally disregard the observance of these customs, and even among the must orthodox they have ceased to maintain their thriner influence. If this view of the matter shall not be thought risionary and untintrled, it in suggest some useful precepts t 4 our conduct; but as this is not the only change in our habits which may have had an effect in increasing the frequency of Apoplexy, I shall rert to the others in my next paper. 6.
