A Copy of a Letter to the DUKE of WELLINGTON,- upon the situation of England. My LORD DUKE,—Bankruptcies, ruin, and general distress, announce to Europe, that the resources of England are upon the decline, the wealth of which has been gradually diminishing ever since the introduction of Free Tnde, and the Currency Bill of 1819, What can commence more alarmingly sad than the year 1830, the early days of which authenticate a deficiency of upwards of one million sterling in the revenue, of desolating poverty amongst the farmers, of landlord's sacrificing fifteen and twenty percent, to their tenantry, 01 ruinous low prices amongst tradesmen, and of a currency too contracted for the necessities of the commercial w rid These national distresses will soon torn) themselves upon the attention of Ministers, and whilst thereis still time for reflection, pray condescend to suppose a case, and such a case may eventually, and at no great distance of lime arise, that the rental of England, injured by the intro- duction of Foreign Wool and Corn, should retrograde to what it was in 1791, and that in consequence of Free Trade, the ex- ,.)r ports, excise, and customs should graduate annually less and less, until the Treasury expenditure is found to exceed the re- sources of the country, in what, pray, are you and your col- leagues prepared to meet a crisis so terrifying in its conse- quences? These are considerations more immediately within the province of Parliament, the assembling of which will soon take place, and for whose information the usual sessional speech should be a faithful representation of the pecuniary difficulties of the state, and not as heretofore a "Vox et praeterea nihil." The members composing the lower House of Parliament are the constitutionally appointed guardians of the public purse, under whose inquiring guardianship the expenditure of the country must be considerably, and immediately reduced, and such members as will at the approaching session vote the esti- mates of the current year upon a similar scale of extravagance with the last, will deserve dismission from their constituents, whenever a general election takes place. In these days of pauperism, distress, afflictinglv felt throughout the kingdom, with the exception of the public creditor, the balance of justice should equalize the scale of taxation, the unfairness of which cannot be more evidently made clear, than by catechising your Grace with the following questions Why are the poor rates, the tithes, the support of the Protestant Church, the Bench of Bishops, and the Clergy, exclusively borne by the landed interests, and why are not the funds made to contribute in an equitable manner towards supporting burdens national y ell tablished for the benefit of the poor and desolate, and for the maintenance of the Reformed Christian Religion ? Another question remains to be answered. Why the daily transfer of st"ck is not made to supply the necessities (If the state in the same way, and in the same degree, that the sale and mortgaging of estates are made available, by paying a lucrative stamp duty ? Great and unfair as these exemptions are in favour of the public creditor, tlrere still remains to be named a grievance that renders effortless the industry of the landed interests, effortless in as much as a debt of upwards of eight hundred millions, contracted in a paper currency, never can be paid in bullion, and when Mr. Peel passed his cash resumption bill, lie injudiciously doubled in value the public burdens, and as a consequence of the same measure, reduced all landed estates one moiety in valuation, and yet wiilf these stultifying proofs of incapacity, pointing him out as the cause of the currency being too con- tractedly and too hastily reduced, he is allowed to talk of his consistency of legislative principles, from whose observance (though injurious to the country) he considers it treason to ex. pect him to depart, principles easily shorn of their self-import- ance, when rejected at Oxford. Lessors and lessees, propri- etors, and cultivators of land, the hour of union, of self-preser- vation is arrived, and loudly demands a constitutionnal effort to petition the Legislature to enact that from henceforth, the funds shall equalize with yourselves the taxes required to main- tain the poor, to pay the tithes, and to support the Church and Clergy for without this fellowship of public burdens, the landed interests must perish, and whenever its ruin arrives, it will, like a vast destroying deluge, sweep away in its desolating vortex, the pulilic creditor, whose debt, without the prosperity, and sup- port.ofthe landed interests is, onlv the shadow of a shade, fleeting, ,i,lltisory,- and disappointing. No Charlatan has ever acquired more notoriety than Mr Huskissot), to whose principles of Free Trade, the pauperised situation of the people is principally attri- butable. Reciprocity has never formed any part of the con i- nenta) system on the contrary, discouragement by prohibitory duties closes the channel of admission to English manufactures. The Huskisjonean mania of Free Trade has unwisely permitted the exportation of sheep, of mares, and entire horses, as if an- xious that the breed of these animals should, at some future time, be made available against England's prosperity, and as a. mea- sure of still greater evil, the machinery of England has been exported all over the Continent, which, worked by English artizan", expatriated for want of home employment. has enahled the rivals of England to fabricate goods to the exclusion of British articles. The energies of England are still great, and equal to the extrication of your Grace and colleagues from present difficulties, if you and they are seriously disposed to confine the expenses of Government within its resonrces, and not, as heretofore, regulate the state of taxation in conformity to the expenditure of the country. Retrenchment is become absolutely necessary to the security of the public debt, and an abatement of taxation imperative to prevent a crisis which, were it to occur, would convulse the kingdom to its foundation! As the greatness of England does not consist in establishments exceeding her re- sources, or it) Ambassadors and Consuls receiving much larger salaries than are paid by other nations, it becomes a public duty that your Grace should propose to his Majesty a considerable reduction in ti)e army and navy, as well as in all pensions and salaries, especially in those that have of late years been in- creased on account of high prices. The period for which the new 4 per c;-nts. were created being about to expire, the mo- ment is arrived when the people expect to be relieved to the annual amount of one million and upwards, by -reducing the rate of interest from four to three per cent. and against this financial reduction no justifiable complaints can be urged, for as well may mortgagees feel discontented at being paid off, when the mortgagors fortunately find themselves in circum- stances to negociate new loans at three instead of four per cent. The resources of the country mnst not be exclusively engaged by the fundholder; he must be-called upon by Parliament to contribute to the iecessities of'tlie State in equal degree of taxation with the landed proprietor, and without this union of effect, the alarming situation of the country can only be com- pared to a vessel upon breakers, when part of the crew muti- nously refuse assistance in the hour of shipwreck. As a mea- sure of Ministerial extrication from pressing dangers, your Grace and colleagues must wisely and boldly proceed to reduce the expenses of the country considerably within its resources, to convert the fours to three per cent, to revive agriculture by home protection in corn and wool, and above all tilings essen- tia! to the assistance of an over taxed people, to keep the rate ,of intereslso salutary low as to enable Government to payoff all discontented creditors. Whig- and Tories have identified themselves loo closely with the Treasury charms of places and pensions to be held in estimation by the observing part of the community, whose expression of et)ii(leiiiiiilioit. vill, be heard and responded to. notwithstanding the prosecuting-efforts of Sir James Scarlett. I have the honour to be, mv Lord Duke, A WELL-WISHEK TO-HOME PROTECTION AND THE PROSPERITY OF ENGLAND.

TO THE Proprietors of the Monmouthshire Canal. CONSIDERABLE misapprehension appearing C to prevail in respect to the nature of the Measures which m'y be proposed for your adoption at the adjourned Meeting to be held on the 4th of March next, it is thought proper by a Proprietor to offer the following observations in explanation for your previous consideration. The Trade on the Canal and Rail-Roads has gone on progres- sively increasing for some years, so as not only to realise a half yearly dividend to the Proprietors of 6 per cent. or at the rate of 12 per cent. per annum on their original capital, but also to have enabled them, in addition thereto, lo expend within the last few years the sum of £ '58,278 16,. 8d. in the extension of the Roads and Works, and in paying off to the amount of ,0 Xi6,137 of debentures, created for the original formation of the Canal and Roads. The several W crks for which this (xlra expenditure has been required, are now completed, and in a state of productive activity, so that no further appropriation of the income derived from the Trade is likely to be required for their purposes. It had, therefore, become an ohject of consi- deration with the Committee, in what way the surplus revenue of the concern beyond the dividend of 12 per cent. should be apVlie(l,-tflat is, whether an increased dividend should be recommended, or whether the surplus should be applied to paying off the remainder of the debentures, amounting to 27.389.^ At their Commiilee Meeting, held the day preceding the late General Meeting in November, they came to a resolu- tion to recommend to the Proprietors at the General Meeting the latter course, and that for that purpose a fund should be created by the appropriation of one per cent. out of the income. It must he needless to those Proprietors in any degree con- versant or connected with the trading pursuits of Monmouth- shire and Glamorganshire, and particularly with the two great sources of trade from whence the income of the Monmouthshire Canal is derived—the Iron and the Coal Trades, to enter into a description of the depressed state of those Trades—that depres- sion is without parallel in the previous history of the country— and in proof thereof it may be sufficient to say, that Bar Iron, which a few years back was selling at ol'12 and £13 per Ion, with an active demand, is now offered for sale without pur- chasers for £ 5 10s. per too and that Coal drawn from Collieries from 16 to 20 miles along the line of Canal and Rail-Roads, is offered for Sale at Newport at 8s. per ton. The Iron masters and Colliers still, however, endeavour to hold up, in the hope that by economy and perseverance they may get through the struggle in such a contest any paving,'be it ever so small, is of the most valuable importance. The Iron and Coal Trades of South Wales are seated in Monmouthshire and Glamorganshire, for the former the Monmouthshire Canal and Rail-Roads are the channels of conveyance to the Port of Newport, for the latter the Glamorganshire Canal to the Port of Cardiff; towards their summits, where the Iron-works and Minerals are chiefly situated, these two undertakings approach near to each other, so that in a competition for existence, the rate at which produce is conveyed to the port of shipment upon one line is of material importance to the traders upon the other. TI.e Rates of Ton- nage on the Monmouthshire Canal are at present—for Iron. 3d. per ton per mile for Coal, ltd. per ton per mile. On the Gla- morganshire Canal the Rates are, for Iron, ltd. per ton per mile; for Coal, ^d. The difference in two adjoining and, as it were, rival concerns, while the present depression and pres- sure upon trade continue, is so considerable as to be sufficient to operate as a cause of ruin to one set of traders, and of success- ful triumph to the other. The dependencies arising out of ihe junction of the Breconshire Canal with the Monmouihshire have, it is apprehended, very iitlle to do with the present question. The Traders on the Monmouthshire Canal feeling the disad- vantages they have to contend with, when placed in competition with the Traders on the Glamorganshire Canal, have been most urgent with the Committee of the Monmouthshire Canal to afford them relief, and having found considerable difficulties in- terposed to the granting of it, many of them have been led to entertain and encourage projects for diverting their trade wholly from the Canal. The proceedings of the Committee of the Mon- mouthshire Canal to frustrate these projects fully testify their importance and the degree of maturity they have acquired. When, therefore, ihe resolution of the Committee recom- mending the appropriation of one per cent. for paying off the • remaining debentures, was offered for confirmation to the Ge- neral Meeting, it appeared to some Proprietors present, whose stake as proprietors of shares is considerable, although in no respect interested in the question as Traders, that it would be more advisable, while the present pressure continues, to apply the said one per cent, as a fund out of which to give a draw- back or reduction of tonnage to the Traders, instead of applying it as proposed to pay off the debentures. And a proposition to this effect was made but from the novelty of the subject, and from want of time for arrangement, such proposition was neces- sarily imperfect. Considerable discussion, however, took place npon it, which was terminated by the proposition for the pre- sent adjournment. The question, therefore, which will be submitted for your consideration at the adjourned Meeting, it is apprehended, it th.is,-shall an appropriation of one per cent. out of the income arising from the Trade, be made during the continuance of the present depression and pressure upon the Iron and Coal Trades, to a fund tor the purpose of granting a drawback or reduction of tonnage—at rates to be fixed-to the Freighters of Coal and Iron, care being taken that such appropriation shall not endan- ger the continuance of the half-yearly dividends of 6 per cent ? The subject, it is apprehended, is of the utmost importance, as well to the harmony and good feeling which ought to exist between the Traders and the Canal Company; as to the continu- "nee of the Trade itself upon the Canaf; it is therefore hoped every Proprietor to whom it is not personally inconvenient will attend the Meeting with a detelluinalionto discuss it with liberal and temperate feelings; and that such Proprietors as cannot personally attend, will instruct their proxies to act on similar principles. It is apprehended that by this course alone the prosperity and welfare of this great concern, now become of the highest importance to an enterprising and populous country, abounding in mineral wealth and resources, but suffer- ing at this moment under an extreme of temporary pressure, can be perpetuated.

JMt Lbo. Wediiesdni/ and Thursday's Posts. LONDON, FEB. 2. THE Moniteur of Friday, contains a Royal Ordinance, A creating a I'onsuhive Committee in the depart- ment of !he Minister 01 War, ami appointing Members under the title of Intendaots in Chief. By a second Ordinance his Majesty has raised to the dignity of Peers of the Kingdom, the Duke de Cereste, the Mar- quis de Tourzd, the Marquis de Puivere, Count de la Bourdonnaye, the Biron de Vitrolles, Count Bugnot, and Lieut.-Gen. Count Vallee. It seems not improbable that the Jews may be des- tined to re-possess the Holy Land. The Gazette de France, dated Saturday, says—"The Nuremberg Cor- respondent affirms, that proposals, for the cession of. Pa- lestine have already been made to the Porte; that the English Ambassador has undertaken the negociation in the name of the Jewish house in question; and that the Ottoman Ministry is not indisposed to enter into an arrangement readily," Private letters from Paris received this day, state that there will be a coalition of the Ministry there with some of the Liberals, who are to unite with Prince Polignac, Bv the advices from Madrid to the 19th ult. we learn that the King was suffering severely from an attack of the rheumatism. A Royat Derree had been published, by which the Trocaclero was comprised in the limits of the free port of Cadiz. Advices from St. Petersbtirgh to the 5th inst. notice a reduction of the current rate of the interest of money. An Imperial Order, elated on the 1st of January, directs that persons obtaining advances from the banks are, in future, to pay only 5 instead of 6 per cent.; while the banks, on the other hand, shall be bound to pay for money lodged with them only 4 instead of 5 per cent., such depositors as do not assent to this reduction being at liberty 'o withdraw their funds. This corroborates the opinion stated some time ago, that there is an un- derstanding between the great Powers of Europe for 9 11 reducing the rate of interest. The Russian government has recently interdicted all participation in foreign lot- teries. Letters from Constantinople of the 24th bring hardly any intelligence of general interest. Trade continued to suffer in the capital from the financial enibarras- ments of the country. The New York papers of the 9ih ult. just received, assert, with much confidence, that the American Mi- nister at the English Court had succeeded in his at- tempt to induce the Government to open the West India trade to the American flag. The proceedings in Con- gress continue confined to internal regulations and dis- cussions respecting the army and navy. Advices trom Miramithi state that the exportation of timber from all ports on the St. Lawrence this spring would be exceedingly great. At Quebec, it is said, there were fully 100 ship-loads left when weather set in. Accounts from New Orleans'state that hundreds of young men, mechanics and clerks from the north, are out of employment there, and that wages are very low. Madras Papers to the 20th September, and Mauritius to the 31st October, have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house. The Madras Papers state that the Governments of Penary, Singapore, and Malacca, were to be abolished on the 1st May next. and instead of the present establishment, a Resident with a Collector and Superintendent of Police will be appoint- ed to each of the three settlements. We understand that Mr George Batikes has resigned, or is about to resign, the Secretaryship of the Board of Control, and that he is to be succeeded by Mr. Wortley, the son of Lord Wharncliffe. Mr. Bankes will, it is said, be an unpaid Commissioner of the Board of Con- trotil. The appointment of Mr. Worlley, the son of one of the Peers created at the recommendation of Mr. Canning, would, we imagine, be taken as an earnest of the wish of the Duke of Wellington to conciliate the friends of Mr Huskisson, and to follow up the principles of that gentleman!—The Mastership of the Mint has been offered to the Marquis of Chandos, but he has not yet signified his acceptance of that office.-No person has yet been appointed to succeed Lord Mount-, charles as one of the Lords of the Treasury.- Globe. We observe that some of the Provincial Papers, in the notices which they have latterly furnished of the state of trade in their respective districts, begin to ac- knowledge the fact of an increasing demand in many branches of manufacture, but qualified by the accom- paniment of low prices. We receive the former part of this intelligence wilh the most unmixed satisfaction, from a perfect conviction that it will at no distant day prove the most effectual remedy for the latter.- Courier. Although the Bishop of Ferns has been quieted by Lord Mountcashel, his son, it would seem, is bent upon renewing the controversy. This person, a clergyman too, has addressed a letter to Lord Mountcashel on the subject of Church Reform. -.5pectator. The Duke of Bedford is recovering from his late se. vere indisposition, but very slowly. The four Irish spiritual Peers next Session of Parlia- nient are-His Grace the Archbishop of Dublin, Bishops of Raphoe, Limerick, and Drcmore. We understand that the day for the next Meeting of the London Committee for the repeal of the Malt and Beer Duties, will not be definitively fixed till after the Meeting of Parliament and that, according to circum- stances, the 16th or 23rd of February will be about the time.—It is also expected that the Central Agricultural Committee will reassemble about the same time. A meeting of the owners and occupiers of land, and other inhabitants of the Hundred of Humbleyard,Nor- folk, to consider of the propriety of petitioning for the ff peal of the Malt and Beer Duties, is fixed for th 10th of February. At Cosford, in Norfolk, a petition for the repeal of the Malt Duty has been agreed to. The building of King's College is proceeding with great rapidity. Upwards of 200 men are employed. Lord Dirriiey intends shortly to present to the Admi- ralty a new machine, invented by Mr John EIvy, mill- wright, of Canterbury It is intended to tell a ship's way and lee-wav to the greatest nicety, without heaving the log. An experiment is'o be very shortly tried at Woolwich, to fire ship-guns by percussion, on a plan submitted by 7 an officer of the Royal Navy, a resident in Hampshire. By the Vagrant Act, passed 5th Geo. IV., c. 83, the Act of. Geo. If. in whichplavers are considered vagrants, expired; and they are Ilotincluded in the new act. Much interest is excited by the projected attempt at opening a regular communication with India by way of the Mediterranean. The Meteor steam-vessel, Lieut. Symons, it is, expected will take out the Malia. and India mails. The letters from India will be conveyed across the Isthmus of Suez to the Red Sea, by well- guarded couriers, for which, we understand, the Pacha of Egypt has offered every facility; and it is expected that op their arrival on the borders of the Arabian Gulf, the Enterprise steamer, which was appointed to leave Bombay with letters for England, will be ready to receive the bags, and returh with them to India. It is calculated that, should no unexpected obstacles in- tervene, the communication with India, by this route, may be effected in half the present time, which would be an important advantage to both countries. 6 BRITISH ABsENTIEEs,TI)e number of English settled in the Netherlands, France, Germany, Switzerland, and ttaly, is supposed to exceed one hundred thousand, drawing from the country not less than five millions annually,—a sum so large, that if, instead of being scattered among strangers, it were spent in th? de- serted halifs and mansions of these islands, it would materially allevia e the distress with which we have been struggling. Whether any direct or indirect tax ought to be imposed on those who reside out of the country for six months, or other limited time, we do not know; but we are confident that no objection would be made to almost any plan which could be devised to rearh ihem. If no such plan can be disco- vered, that circumstance will add one more to the other reasons which exist for deliberately undertaking such a complete rf vision of our finansial system as shall bring down our prices to the level of our neigh- bours, which, if it rould be effected, would at once put an end to absenteeism, s -vell as many still more heavy disadvantages.Quarterly Review, AFFAIR IN HIGH LIFE,—An event, neither very novel nor very unprecedented in a certain class of society, but most extraordinary and most unlooked for, when we consider the present public and private condition, of the parties, has formed the chief subject of conver- sation the last two days, among the fashionable circles at the West End of the town. That which had been hinted at, or vaguely insinuated for a day or two, assumed a shape tangible enough for relation, and it was pretty broadly stated that an Illustrious Personage, whose attentions for some time excited suspicion, had been detected in a most unequivocal situation in the dressing-room of the lady of a Nobleman holding a situation in the Royal Household. The lady alluded to is the sister of a distinguished Peer, and the mother of eight or nine children. We give the story as we received it, without attempting further to designate the individuals alluded to. We may, however, add, that the wife of the principal offender is excited to all unusual degree of violence; and that one of his rela- tives, in whom the nation is much interested, has been more agitated hy the discovery ot this criminal indul- gence than might have been expected. — Morning Paper.

postscript. LO N- DO N, WE D N USD AY, FEB. 3. AT the Privy Council held yesterday at Windsor, the Right Hon, John Charles Herries was appointed President of the Board of Trade, hut the Marquess of Chandos was not named as his successor to the Mint. The delay is supposed to arise from some preliminary matters which must be arranged, hut there is at pre- sent no doubt. entertained that his Lordship will join the ministry. Mr. Serjeant Bosanquet was appointed one ot the Judges of the Court of Common Pleas, in the room of Mr. Justice Burrough-an honour which the long services of the Learned Serjeant well deserved. Mr. Baron Bolland and Mr. Justice Bosanquet were both knighted on this occasion. rJ he Sheriffs were pricked for by his Majesty. A Morning Paper states, that" among other subjects which will engross the attention of Parliament, owing to the strong degree of excitement which it has created in every part of the Uuited Kingdom, is the policy of renewing the Charter of the East India Company. Ac- cording to a very current report, which has been circu- lated among the best-informed circles in the city, Mi- nisters have it in contemplation to send Lord Ellenbo- rough on a special mission to the East Indies to make a Report, and that IIntll its arrival Ministers will de- cline giving any decided opinion as to their future in- tentiom, and by so doing dispose of the matter, with which they would otherwise be much perplexed. India stork, which had previously sustained a very severe shock by the apprehension entertained by the great body of the proprietors, that the Charter of the East Indta Company would not be renewed, has advanced upwards of 5 per cent, wiihin the last few days, and to- day has. ueeo done at 3 PRICE OF STOCKS.
