STCALT ke WORTLgY had • a clause to pro. at another period of thit bill, to which he was ,pr to understand there would be no objectiOn to exempt from the operation of the tax brood . These had hitherto been taxed, when he con they ought to have n been considered like other : k ; for it was well known that in many parts of , corn trr, particularly in the county where hi re !J (Yorkshire), there were several persons who mares for no other purpose but breeding.

STUART WORTLEY said, that nothing id be more ridiculous than the whole system of Assessed Tares, from the manner in which sur is were at present made. He hoped that his sty's 'Ministers would take this matter into their ~.leration, so as that these taxes might be co rn- I nded for by a certain sum. He was certain that, that method was retorted to, in most instances, ,Ternment would ghin considerably on the whole, ;G ui ; ll a nominal loss might be apparent in• some le,: It was a hardship to find the charges increase 1 :or, every additional article which was in Ise. If a ;r.tleman got an additional carriage, or a poor :shle-boy, the duties upon the others which he might re had before were conside rably increased, besi des !e day upon the immediate subject itself. If he it a horse but once, and that the animal got lame, , was turned out for nine months of the year, he sasto be paid for as well as if used every day. The cr..nuence was, that many persons who would keep &able the number of horses, carriages, and servants, ter obliged to limit their number. The Govern rent might think, his was all rigllt, but then they ' :ar id recollect what an additional stimulus it would to trade,' to have a greater numbir of carriages sal, and what a number of persons might find ad ditional employment in consequence—(FFllear, hear). lie trusted his Majesty's Ministers.would give atten tion to this matter, which was of importance to the coun M try. • r. LUSHINGTON said, he had no doubt his Right Honourable Friend (the Chancellor of the Er cheener,) world pays attention to what the Honour :lie Geralmr.an had suggested. The 831 then passed through the Committee, and the Report was received, and ordered to be taken into further consideration on Monday. MARINE MUTINY BILL. On the Motion of Sir Gunton WAIRZI7DER, that the House should resolve itself into a Committee on the Marine Mutiny Bill, Mr. BROUGHAM said, he certainly should object to the House going any farther into public business at that late hour : the principle via: one which he could not sanction, unless a case of urgent necessity moired it. • Sir GEORGE WARRENDER had understood that no objection would be made to the Bill, but that it would be passed as a matter of course. There were no new provisions in it of any importance. Mr. BROUGHAM replied,.that if the Honourable Baronet would declare that there was a particnlar necessity for passing the Bill through this stage, he reuld make no objection. Sir GEORGE WARRENDER had no 'objection to postpone it, but he conceived it was of importance to have it through the present stage. Sir JOHN NEU PORT could not see any necessity for pressing public business at such an hour of the morning ; and if the Honourable Baronet persisted, he should avail hi rr.self of the. state of the House, and trove that it be lonnted.—['There were not 4.0 Mem bers then preseuf ; and if counted, they must of ne cessity hare adjourned. Sir GEORGE WAR ENDER was aware of the power which the Right Hon. Baronet had in .this respect, lint he trusted he woul4 not exercise it on the present occasion. The Act which this was to supply would expire on the 25th of the present month, 2.3,1 it should be recollected that this had to pass through two other stages, and after that to go to the Lords ; so that it could not pass there and receive the Royal assent much sooner than the time he had menfaor.ed. The consequence of delay, therefore, 'would be obviou . There were only two new clauses la the hi' 1. The one *as for punishing those persons she should shake false representations on being at tested, and the other was tosrender Captains in the Marines liable to take Parish Apprentices as Well as Captains in the Army. The Bill then passed through the Committee, and ti:e. Report was ordered to be received on Monday. storm BILL. On the Motion of Lord Raisttasroa, that the Report of this Bill be received, Mr. LAMBTON and Mr. BROUGHAM objected to' this practice of going on with important public bu 'lre4s at so late an hour, and at a time when so- few' 1 .lembers attended. The precedent was dangerous. , :rd PALMERSTON urged the same reason for ti , is as Sir G. Warrendcr had given for the preoeding Ir.], -La the pre t Act would expire on the 25th. ALTHORF sail, this Bill was not in the same stage th. cth=r. It gas let a more advanced one ; and as they I:sth to supply Acts which would expire at the same time , t'" sus of this' Bill was not like the former one. PA Lmr.RsTom said , the Committee had not ileci ,:sa he number of men which should be employed. JOHN NEWPORT conceived it highly irregular to ary pubic busineas in the House at such an hour. It h'Ai that these Bills ',rinsed in couscpence of the expira the Acts which th ey were to supply ; but why, as that bcfore, were they not brought in at an codicils*. tl-4 , 1011? It would bo said that du.

On the motion of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHE- 1 QUER it was ordered that the House, at its rising, should ad journ till Monday. Mr. OR A Tl'A N postponed his motion on the Catholic Claims from the 22d to the 27th of April. .

The Paris Papers of Tuesday arrived last night, but their contents are of less interest than might have been anticipated, at a moment of such sharp political contention. —Several of the new Peers were presented to the King on Monday ; among others, Counts DE JEAN, DAntY, G REF SULIIE : and DE SCSSY. It was ex pected that the greater number of them would rake their seats in the House on Wednesday. The Committee ot the Chamber of Deputies charged with the examination of the project of the law upon tobacco, have rejected the monopoly by a majority of five•to four. M. FORNIEIt Di SAINT LARY is ap • pointed to bring up the Report, in which will be pointed out the means of substituting an equivalent in taxes for• the actual, produce of the present impost. Several Petitions have been presented to the Cham ber of Deputies, signed by great numbers of the inha bitants of Nantes, Brest,and other towns in Bretagne, against antaltetation in the Law of Elections. The Journals have announced, says the Monitcur, that a Project will be immediately presented relative to the National Gland, and many different solutions have been given of the difficulties in the way of such a law; but, as it often happens, the solutions vary, according to the opinions of those who consider the problem. Thus, for the nominations: some wish that we shou4l return to the law of October 14, 1791, and that the National Guards should directly elect their 06cers; others wish that the Electors should limit the range of their choice among those whom the King should deem eligible; on the other hand, some demand the maintenance of the pure and simple Legislative Act, dated Sept. 24, 1805, which gives to the King the nomination of the Officers without any restriction. There is a fourth opinion, which would induce the persuasion that the Kixo, as the Supreme Chief of ' the public force, ought to choose the Officers of the National Guatd. from among those who pay the highest taxes ; and, according to the scale of these taxes, whose degrees should be propo rtional to the importance of the rank. This idea they found upon the English Act of Parliament relative to the Local Militia. Some persons, in short, think that a law upon the National Guard is subordinate to the prin ciples which enter into the law on civil administra tion, and that Cie nomination of Officers of a Muni nipal Guard can and ought to follow the same rules ac the nomination of Mayors. These questions, and many others of high importance, will doubtless find a solution conformable to the principles of legitimate and constitutional) Monarchy in the Project of Law,' which the Council . of National Guards is engaged in preparing, and which will shortly be submitted to the KING. Bat, urktil that makes its appearance, every thing which may be reported on the subject ought only to be considered as the expression of individual opinions. The Society of Cartmna, i, which thb Austrian Po lice has discovered in the Venetian territory, held, for some years back, secret meetings; its central point was in the village of Fratt, in the Canton of Rovigo, at the house of an old French General, named AR.. NAVD, and It the house of his son-in-law; MoNri.— Both these have been arrested, as well as the Vene tian Count PIERRE CICOGNARA. Traub Five per Cents, Monday, 68 fr. 20 c. The Paris Papers of Wednesday have also arrived at a late hour this forenoon. The Chamber of Peers had a Public sitting on Tuesday; when the 'PRESIDENT laid before the As sembly the lett,ers of nomination and other docu ments which had been transmitted to him by thirty nine of the new Pcess created by the !loyal Ordi nance of the 6th instant, for the purpose of obtaining their admission. A special Committee was named by ballot to verify the letters of nomination, and the age of the nominees, consisting of Count DEo•IZE, Count :Mtn, and the Marquis de CLenssimer GAL- L2RANDE. The Committee proceeded forthwith to the examination, and reported that they found the acts submitted to their verification perfectly satisfac tory. The reception of the new Peers, whose powers have thus been verified, would consequentlf take place at the next sitting, on saturday, to which day the Chamber, after some other business of no im portance, adjourned. The Chamber of Deputies were not expected to have any publielneeting till after the 11th, when it appears certain, says one of the Journals, that they will be summoned for the special purpose of receiving a Message, relative to the Resolution of the Cham ber of Peers adopting the proposition of M. BARTHE LEMY on the Law of Elections.—The Resolution will not give rise immediately to any discussion, but be remitted, in the first instance, to the bureaus, and' submitted to a 'Central Commission. A confident expectation is also entertained that the Minister will shortly present to the Chamber, =Projects of Law on the independance of the Journals, on the repression of delicts of the Press, and on the or ganization. of the Jury to which these delicts ought to be submitted. M. REDNAULT DE SAINT-JEAN-VANGELY, who has obtained authority to. return to France, has quit ted Brussels, and is daily expected in Paris. The Duke of Bassaso (Matter), and M. AR NADIA', the Dramatic Writer, are also said to have received permission to return to their native country. The report that Ulm is to be raised to the rank of a principal fortresss of the Germanic Confederation, is said to have thrown the inhabitants into a state of general consternation. They have experienced too much of the disastrous consequences of war to be ambitious of the honour which is designed for them. It is essimated that to complete the fortifications of it will cost at least 35 millions of florins, whereas the Germanic Diet have only allowed for the construction of a fortress on the Upper Rhine 20 millions of florins. A Decree of the Austrian Court ordains a levy of .6000 men in the kingdom of Venetian Lombardy, in order to replace the Austrian soldiers who are serv ing in that country. The French Papers contain an account of the as [sassination of Mr. COLYEAR, the son of Lord MIL aINGTOWN ; hut a letter from that Gentleman to his father proves that the rumour of his death is ground less, though there was sufficient foundation for the report of his having been robbed and ill treated. French Five per Cents. Tuesday, 68fr. 20c. FROM OUR PRIVATE CORIIESPONDEi7T. " Pau, MARLiI 9, 1819. a The new turn of affairs has excited, as you have beard, very considerable uproar. The Ultras express the most decided contempt for the Head of the Mc-! Inarchy, though they call themselves Monarchy-men and we regret sincerely that they have abettors where we would not wish to find them. a The Duke of 8 4101 , who dined with his Majesty yesterday, expressed himself in such strong terms on the measure of reinstating the old Peers and cfcating so many new ones, that the/Ong felt obliged, before all the company, to express his strong sense of the impropriety of the Duke's language, who retired from his Majesty's presence, smarting under the sense of hi; deep displeasure, and he wrote a note to his 'Majesty, intreating his forgiveness ; which we can , without hesitation anticipate, as his Majesty is re markable for goodness of heart and generous for giveness on every point that does not immediately interest the safety of the State, and on that subject 'he is firm as a rock. The measure of creating the new Peers is blamed by all: we Mace it with the rest. A measure was necessary to destroy the preponderance of les Traitres Monarchique.s ; but we do not think, the one adopted the best. Why preserve a carious part in the Con stitution? a rotten branch on the tree? Harm, not good, must be the result. Why keep an enemy in the field, and pay and pension him? Better it were to crush him at once, than create an army merely to hold him in check. The tranquillity of the country required, the safety of the Throne demanded it! But still, if his Majesty in his wisdom preferred the pre sent measure, why neutralize his proper efforts, by nominating such men as the Marquis de Sr. StNtos and Count de GERMINY? Will they vote with the friends of the Constitution? We think not." IC I . I, I , , ' 1 ~: , 1 A 1 I . 14 I • . t 0 , • i 4 f , 0 t 1 . I • . , . I i I i .. . • . '.O • 1 ' .

Stich k at present the over-glutted state of the foreign markets, quit vast quantities of British ma nufactured good; (both soft and hardware) have been returned to Hull and Liverpool, during the last six weeks. In consequence of this unpleasant state of things, several failures have taken place to a great amount, in the various commercial districts through out Lancashire and Yorkshire, as well as at Glasgow and other places ;. and what is still wore, the evil has by no means reached its achme, as many hitherto respectable firm's are marked out for Insolvency. All this mass of evil is solely to be attributed (as has more than once been remarked in ,the STAR) to an over strained and avaricious speculation which has con tributed bp forestall and overstock every market with British produce, without calculating on the conse quences, or recek i,ag the requisite returns to meet• the demands of ckditori at home. There is no saying where this evil may stop ; it has already been attended with the most ruinous consequences : ) among which, may be reckoned the discharge of . many hundreds (we might say thousands) of work 'men, that has taken place within these few weeks, at Leeds, Manchester, Bradford, Dewsbury, Carlisle, • and other manufacturing places.

COVENT-GARDENORATOR zo.—The Selection at this Theatre last night, though much the same as before, went off exceedingly well. The interehenge of kind offices strengthens the union of hu man hearts. This applies to n.tiors equally as to individual.. The intercourse which the British and Foreign 'Bible Society has opened among g ood men, and the awakening of the beet affections of their hearts to each other, hove extended fro's Siberia to the eve of Good Hope, and from the Ganres to ele 'Mississippi. The beet effects of this spirit of reciprocal kindness have been felt in the two ends of our own island. Our northern friends have afforded essential aid to the Alies:on in India . , and also to the London Missionary Society. In the day of their need, they have very naturally looked to England for brotherly aid ; and, as it initeht be expected, have not looked in vain.
