The pro- sitiou made by the Government is simply ig,——that the whole of the duties, whe- er Colonial or (frown, (the latter the ex- lusive right of the Crown.) shall be char- ed with ten per cent on the gross amount be applied to the payment ofthe Custom ouse (lﬂicers’ salaries; and it' the same e more than sufﬁcient, then that propor— onate deduction should he made. e same be not sufficient, then that a ton- age duty of Is. 6d. sterling per ton shall eimposed on shipping entering the Ports, essels of small tonnage exrepted,] to ake up the deﬁciency; and ifthe. charge fls. 6d. be more than sufficient to make pthe deﬁciency, then the optiOn is given carrying the surplus to the coloaial re- nue, or reducing the tonnage duty ; but e Legislatures are not conﬁned to ls. 6d. nd may, if they find it necessary, increase e duty.

To Correspondents.-Tlle article which came the ofﬁce late ht evening, signed “Dumps,” me too late for insertion this week. We ad. ire the subject and are somewhat surprised at the matter shculd have remained so long rmant.

Although the MS. signed “R. S.’. bears date Nov.—It did not come to hand until after rlast publication: shall appear in our next umber.

We beg lent-(3 to inform mthat we have no apprehension that the ar- le in question will have a pernicious tcndcn. upon the morals of this or any other com- '5 neither are we quite certain that V‘s oductlon will receive a greater number of mlrers than the extract in question. aEasily perceived that Vcritas is no Scttch-

Latest from England.—London papers to the 15th October, have been received by the Edi- tor of the Transcript. The new French Minis- tr) had been formed; Marshal Sonlt was Pre~ mier and had addressed a circular to the oili- cers of the Government in which he says :— “Thcy system adopted by my illustrious pre decessor will be mine.” and that France may therefore rekeon in my efforts to maintain or der and peace.” After calling upon those whom he addresses for support in the mainte nance of internal tranquility, he proceeds thus :—“ In concert with the powers, our al- les, we will hasten the solution ofail the greatt Eurppean questions. Our armies, ardent, bu docde, will lend to our moderation the support offorce.” He concludes by saying that bynleans ofsome further efforts we shall taste all the fruits of all our glorious revolution.”

The new Ministry was ushered in by the creation of no less than ﬁfty-nine new Peers.

The Dutch Minister at Paris had demanded his passports. but on learning the composition of the new Ministry, he did not persist in his request.

The King of Holland was to meet his Cham- bers on the 15th. The London Courant re marks. “ It is said by those who have the means ofanticipating the contents of his declaratory address, that it will convey the inﬂexible dc- lermination ofthe King of Holland, to main- tainthe honour and dignity of his Crown,” and his Majesty’s appeal to all the powers of Europe not to allow that which he designates "revolutionary principles,” to exhibit their predominance throughout Europe, by an vani- esccnce in the comtemplated Coercive niea- sures against “a.Sovereign head of an inde- pendant state."

Very heavy gales occurred on the British coast about the 7th to 9th of October. Many vessels were lost. Among them is the ship Bainbridgc, from Halifax, wrecked on the isle of Wight.—about 50 puncheons of rum were saved.

The British and French Governments were on the point of coercing the King of Holland to a settlement with Belgium.— 'l‘he Courier states that a Cabinet Coun- cil had I long deliberation on the llth, without coming to any decision on the sub- ject. It is said, adds that paper, that in the event of the absolute necessity—a ne- cessity which seems now to have arrived—- of adopting decisive measures for the prompt settlement ofthe points in dispute between Holland and Belgium, Prussia will assent to the measure, and the Empe- ror of Russia consents to remain neutral.

The last Turkey mail brings intelligence that the army of the Pacha of Egypt was within a few days’ march of the Turkish capital, and no troops to oppose their vic- torious career.

IRELAND cantinues in the same distract- ed state. Another sacriﬁce of human life has been made at Carrigeen in the county of Kilkenny. The extortion of tithes was again the cause. An ofﬁcer while posting tithe notices was assaulted by an immmensc collection of people ; he directed his men to ﬁre on them, by which 12 were killed and ‘20 wounded

It is evident now that the citadel of Ant- werp will not yield to protocols; it must he assailed by force of arms, and if Belgium is not strong enough to take it alone, she has a right to appeal to the assistance of her allies.

A British ﬂeet of atleast 20 ships, was ﬁtting out for the Scheldt, with orders to rendezvous at Spithead, on the 5th of No- vember.

els. -. The French Government contributes, to the. support of ﬁve theatres in Paris, little short of 80,0001. sterling per annum.
