• J (the Chancellor of the Exchequer). The 1 , ) ag. tinst the Lotteries had, in his opi- , c :h l u e le been 'n - 2 rg eu l- m ou 7J e don a wrong basis. The motion 'cc the country of the benefits of a eonsi was ne, without providing an equally pro. cleolb' e — ,: en It was one of the oldest modes of taxa &dive ta— c i ern hi s tory. It had continued, he be in m • ' e the Revolution; and it ought not to be . „, n h " -- ' ' Ton light and trivial grounds. The Right l'innotianneble Gentleman retorted upon the Gentlemen "ppo ire side of the House, who had used his v On ir ,'h - t (). :arable Friend somewhat illiberally, be -11"h faithfully discharged his duty to the ,'i e ,• he Anion ,, a.l the great and transcendent qua his Right Honourable Friend, IP it u " ; ° equalled his profonnd knowledge sti 'l l t Lady it had been fashionable to run ei t and to &claim loudly against them as tj'lle,; t he people. The Right Honourable Gen tPre"":` t „van tan cm, imerated those which had been vehe- an nlerunej . The salt tax had fallen into dis „lce, hc:aase s ome Gentlemen thought it militated muc h agai nst the landed interest. The leather tat -ne unpopular, because it operated r res against certain classes . i s . trade.— n ne s ' iv t ely 'c'6 l because tt was injurious to the Nest the spir it tax, pu • t ds of the peop le. And this evening they• were tiag .t to e x-ect a declamation against the Window jrT, for reasons which t he Mover would soon favour t hem with. It Gentlemen were to act upon this fa diditnis principle of finance—if revenue was to be n oced to the whim of th e moment—if all these c: er.nions of the mind arose from the care of publ i c 0 ,,, :a 15--lct them call a meeting, and agree to some standard of morals, say what degree of morality they • make their stand, and then perhaps it would be esier to ascertain their teal meaning. His Right lionouraSle Friend had too much good. sense, and too midi manliness, to be induced to abandon an w eftil mode of taxation, on account of a violent but a musing , declamation against Lotteries, or the Life mu ! Ad . eau.' res of a Servant Maid, as presented by a * ot thy Alderman. He knew that no taunting or wanton attacks on his official character would ever induce hi; Right Honourable Friend to forget his duty to the ea entry--(Hear)—By following this line of cosi'iuy.t. his Right Honourable Friend would imitate the ezan,ple of his most illustrious predecessors, and obtain the applause of his countrymen !—(Hear.) Mr. WODEHOUSE declared, that after all he bad heard, and anxious as he was to support the Guano, of the country, he could not give his vote is favour of a tax which added to the revenue only in proportion as it spread immorality and crime amongst the people—(flear, hear.)—Anicmgst the lower orders, the spirit of gambling sometimes led to robbery, and in sonic cases to suicide. It destroyed the only source of a poor man's character and hap pi cress—(Hear, hear). Mr. PLUNKETT conceived that this question would decide whether the House had a moral feel ing. The Right Honourable Gentleman opposite (fir. Canning) admitted the criminality of Lotteries, but talked of the age of the crime. If it were as old as the foundation of the world, it ought to be rooted out. The present tax created a vice, for the purpose of making it productive. It was a question, not of revenue, but of morals, and in acting as they were now doing, the Government of the country ab dicated their place to debauch the integrity of the people—(!fear, hear). Lord CASTLEREAGH denied that Its Right llonourable Friend had acknowledged the crimina lity of Lotteries. It was their abuse, like that of spi rituous liquors, which might turn into vice or crime. The practice had been sanctioned by the highest and most moral names. He objected to that kind of spurious and sublimated morality, which might at tack auy other tax with as much justice as the Lot tery. It was the bounden duty of Government, while they maintained the morals of the people, to beware 7. , ,t to sacrifice its strength, which was their best se urity-1 ka:•.) Mr. F. DOUGLAS contended, that a substitute had been proffered for the Lottery Tax, whenever it had been proposed to reduce the Army, or carry real economy into any other department. Had those sug gestions been adopted, there would be no cause to dl for the present Tax. Much horror had been ex p:csed at the manner in which Foreign Governments raised money on gambling-houses ; but here the Chancellor of the Exchequer was the keeper of the gambling-house himself—(Hear, hear.) Mr. ILLIA.MS said, it might be as well to deck brothels and give them a voluntary embrace, as to support Lotteries. The species of gambling which they created was the more pernicious, as it was not that of the rich, but of the poor. Mr. CANNING explained. He had said nothing about brothels, and assured the Hon. Member that be had not mentioned the word concupiscence once in the whole course of his speech—( Hear, hear). A MEMBER compared the state of the British Lot tery with that of those of Genoa, Germany, and e 4icterland. In the former the expense to the public amounted to one-third, whilst in the latter it did not elm! one-tenth. Mr. TIERNEY conceived that sb trifling a sum as to --JUN was disgracefully . purchased by the degra 'j'..ion which accompanied the measure. Such a sum odd make no great difference in the Loan for the year, and he should have no objection to see thus raised instead of £20,000,000.- 1 contended that Lotteries were not now what they been, and objected to the manner in which the ontracto rs dispo se d o f t i c k ets . Whatever the other merits of his Hon. Friend's motion might be, it had til : Z rn to , fbeing the only one w hith had b roug h t all th e '!embers of Government to act together; and on e ther qucstion. Put morality in the one scale and --AMU in the other, and they were all agreed that 't money should be taken, and that morality should for herself --(Laughter.) In this business, how t'er, the Chtteellor of the Exchequer had drawn the g ra nd prize, for h e h a d ga i ne d t h e a d m i rat i on o f t h e i light Hon. President of the Board of Controul.

Was the tax which produced such evils to be compared with the leather tax ?—(Henr, hear.) He called upon the House to put a stop to what de stroyed the morals of the country, and would finally destroy its revenue—Cheers. The House then divided, Ayes 84—Noes 133 Majority 49 against the Motion.

The morality of the Lottery System was discussed last night in the House of Commons, and although its criminal tendency was demonstrated, the Mini sters declared their pecuniary necessities to be so ex treme, that they were obliged to continue in ILL-DOING themselves, and in fostering vice in others ! The following opposite Statements have beea.pub fished of the circumstances attending the division on the Catholic Question on Monday night : Statement originating with the Anti. Catholic Party: " The debate in the Mouse of Commons on Monday night, was attended with some extraordinary circumstances. At the conclusion of Lord Low:uses speech, the cry of " Question! Question!" became loud and general, and it was accordingly put from the Chair. The Swans having called upon the Ayes and Noes, was of opinion that the Noes had it. There was then a loud cry of " Divide I Divide 1" The Seamus gave the usual order for strangers to withdraw, preparatory to a division. The order was repeated, but without effect. Some of the strangers under the gallery at length yielded with apparent re luctance, but those in the gallery kept their seats, conceiving from the appearance below, that the debate would go on. This expectation was founded upon the idea generally entertained, , that it would be an adjourned debate, and the disposition shewn by several Members to address the Chair. Among these were Lora CASTLEREAGH, Mr. CANNING, Mr. PLUNKETTI Mr. PEW, Mr. COLSLOUGH, and some others. Mr. PLUXICITT presented himself twice; Mr. Pm. also offered himself to the attention of the House, amidst loud cries of " Questint! Question!" " A long discussion then arose, whether, it having been stated from the Chair, that the Noes had it, the debate could be resu med ? The Seta KEIL gave his opinion in the negative, and that as no Member could afterwards speak to the question, any ob servations to the order' of the House could only be delivered ill the way of Idvice to the SrEatta, by the Member silting and covered. W. C. WYNN then put his baton, and taking his sear, cited a case from the Journals to skew that the debate was, finally closed. A division then took place. when the numbers appeared to be, for the Committee, 242, agailst it 248. On de claring these numbers at the table, Mr. Clot's, one bf the Tel lers, stated that it was hii duty to report, that some Members 1 , had irregularly entered the House after the question had been put, and the decision in favour of the Noes pronounced from the Chair, whose votes must therefore be disallowed. It was ac cordingly decided that the names Of Lords Woacerma and Rocs:savant, Mr. BANTU, Mr. Ulit t and General P , should be struck off fromthe Noes, and that of Lord Fosses from the Ayes. This left the real numbers at Ayes, 241—Noes, 241. Sir WM. SCOTT had retired previous to the question being put, presuming that it would be an adjourned debate, and reserving himself for to-night." Opposite statement : " It is said, that the friends of the motion called for The divi sion. That this is false, is apparent from the notorious fact, that (to say nothing of the attempts df Mr. Psoworrr, and the known intention of Mr. CoNNnact and Lord CAITLZRWISI) Mr. Lists tried for sevmal minutes to obtain a bete* ; and that Mr. Dovniss and Sir JAMES MACKINTOSH skewed a disposition to deliver their opinions. Assuredly they were not prevented from doing so by the Mends of the motion. " ft is not true that Mr. rEaL offered himself to the attention of the House at the same time with Mr. I'm:Nairn It is no tar i Gus, that a considerable debate occurred on the point of Or der, whether Mr. Ptuissarr could be heard at the stage of pm. credit's at which he rose? That Mr. Piet went through the formality of rising, it might be difficult, in a scene of such con fusion, positively to deny; but that he never wound up his COll.- 1 rage to the speaking point, is most certain. " The division was indeed brought on at sa uneapected mo -1 ant, but for which it is easy to account. Mr. PLuncarr and In It. This is c on tr ary to the rule ; for though it is not meno4sal,l for a Member to hear the argument on a question, he must be in tile Hon* and hear it put from the Chair; to entitle him to vott. By this deheroils manoeuvre of keeping the door opeii for a time, the numbers of the majority *ere said to be 448 but several Gentlemen were called upon by name, as having got access after the question was put ;.and they having owned the fact, their votes were ecru& eff, which reduced the majority to two, as we stated in yesterday's paper. " Nothing, however, could be more decisive than the mode of the House on the great national question, pronounced as It was ; since not to reckon those•who paired off, the Ne.ilids who could not remain to so late an hour, and the number of Members in town who absented themselves from deference to the contrary opinion of their constituents, the division was the greatestlont one ever known in Parliament, there being, including the TAlers and SPFILDER, no fewer than 40 present. The list of the Minority will also show the respectability of the individuals of which it was composed." It is understood that the Report on the Bank Re striction has undergone some modification since Sa turday, and the hope is, that the measures it recom mends will now be practicable. RICARDO'S Plan with respect to Bullion, as we have already stated, is partly to be adopted. Notes to be a legal tender for the amount of three or I:400; sums above that limit to be paid in Bullion and Paper—the Silver Coinage to be kept scarce, that it may not be em ployed to purchase Gold. The resumption to take place either in January or March next. The Bank to issue Gold at 13. Is. 6d. to be gradually lowered in the course of two yesirs to the Mint rate. This complex scheme the Bank hitherto has decidedly opposed. It is now rumoured that the CHANCELLOR of the ExclizQuza intends to take Five Millions per Annum for the Sinking Fund. The following is a summary of the military move ments in Venezuela to the date of the latest accounts: General MORILLO, after uniting the corps of LA TORRE, MORALES, and CALZADER, amounting to 5000 men, passed the Apure on the 25th of January. General BOLIVAR, being anxioui to draw the enemy into the interior, ordered his infantry to take post be hind the Arauca River, and the cavalry, under PAEz, to harass his rear. On the sth of February MORILLO passed the Arauca, the inhabitants every where burning their dwellings to prevent his obtaining shelter. MORILLO, finding his supplies cut off, pushed forward 600 ca valry to collect cattle. They fell into an ambuscade of PAzz's troops, and were all taken. This, we sup pose, is the action referred to in the American Pit pers, with some features of exaggeration. Mottuto was by his advance situate in a complete wilderness, without resources, more than 500 miles from Cara cas, and PAEZ, with superior cavalry, in his rear. Five hundred British volunteers in the George Canning, Tartar, and Perseverance, had arrived at Angustura, and with them General BoLIVAR would proceed to the . Apure. On the Atlantic coast, which Mottrum had left bare of troops, an attack was expected from Mar garita, protected by a large naval armament, and with combined British and native troops. This would place MORILLO in an awkward situation. Commodore JOLT was cruizing off St. Bartholo mew's and Porto Rico. All the dispatches announcing the death of the Queen of SPAIN, and the views of the Cadiz Expedi tion fell into bands of the Patriots, by the capture of the brig of war from Cadiz to Rio Janeiro. A British sloop of war from Mai garita is dal)) , ex pected in England. A steam-boat has been eita bliihed from Trinidad to Angustura. We subjoin some farther extracts from the Ame rican Papers last received : 'NORFOLK, APRIL 7. The General Alligas privateer was yesterday brought into this Port from Seven River, where she had put in under the charge of an Officer of the Re venue cutter Munroe, Captain Ham, and was deli vered over to the custody of the Marshal, in conse quence of information of an attempt on the part of the crew to smuggle. It appears from the accounts of some of the crew that on the Fit of December, 1818, they captured a large ship, from Liverpool bound to the Brazils, and plundered her of every article of value. In the same montiN they capttired a Portuguese brig of war, the Giovanni, from Rio Janeiro bound to Pernambucco, and took from her a large quantity of money in boxes ; one box contain ed 2176 dollars. NEW-YORK, APRIL to The ship Ruth and Mary, arrived here from Lis. bon, has brought to our Merchants 268,000 dollars in specie.—By the last advices, four brigs and a schooner had arrived at Havannah from Vera Cruz, with 1,500,000 dollars, in specie, on bawd. A letter from Wilmington (North Carolina), states that information was received there on the 31st of March, that a Portuguese ship, of 700 toes, prize to some privateer, had stranded near Beaufort, that the ship had gone to pieces; but that most of her va luable cargo, consisting of cochineal, cottons, teas, hides, indigo, &c. had been saved.

The Consul has applied to the Government Authorities. The American ship China has arrived at New York from Batavia, after.a short passage of eighty. six days. She left Batavia the Mb January, at which time it was dreadfully sickly there, and several ships had lost most of their crews, particularly the ship Nestor, of New York, which had lost sixty-three men out of seventy-two, and all, her Officers. The epi demic was very destructive among the Dutch troops; the average number of deaths was from 300 to 400 daily. Several disturbances had occurred at Sama rang, but all was quiet when the China came away. The pirates still continued to commit daring outrages along the whole coast.... The British ship Ganges, Captain DIXEY, arrived at Batavia on the 28th De• cember, from Manilla, for Europe. The Second Of. ficer of the Ganges flied at Batavia the 2d January. We have received this morning a series of New Orleans Papers. The following is from the Louisiana Gazette of March 16 It is a little surprising that we at New Orleans should have as little account from Buenos Ayres as from Mexico, but the fact is so. Our latest accounts from the latter are to the list December; they repre• sent the country as reviving from the calamities of civil war, which is no doubt owing to the mildei rule of her present intelligent Viceroy. Her rich mines are now working with more vigour than ever, and promise this year a large increase of specie. A few armed bands still infest the mountains, but trade ex periences little obstruction, as the roads are gene rally safe. " There is no doubt that, were all piratical cruizers once driven from the Gulf, the Merchants of New Orleans might carry on a very advantageous trade with their neighbours in Mexico. Specie would then flow in the vaults of our Banks, instead of being yearly carried in the armed vessels of England and Spain to supply Europe." NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.
