He dirtnot think hirafelf entitled, in the prefent Rate of affairs, to eater into a more rointate .er fpecific declaration an the fabjea, but hoped that the Noble Marquis would be convinced, that no com mon or ordinal y motive would have induced him to :Intake this retina.

He thought that 'ghat .d been In eatiilidly advanced by hi, Noble r. ( Lind liiam kccultry) to induce the Noble Mar quis and the Houle to poiltione the motion to fon - .e fututc clay, was fully fufficient to entitle him to that rreiti. fed iiidulgence. It had been the insatiable tit. r and riiflom of Parliament to acquierce in this fiticns. At All events, however,* mull •.1, ; • ( to ti.: lacy, fah of the Noble Lord for an ad icor rime nt t f th, !lonic till furls time as the patent stiiii;,4l wac flied to be actually hrouplit aru 'VI, he did on the rurneriius and weighty nu novo nces thdt mull inevitably attend Itch a meaftire.

The Earl of CARLISLE Paid, he few no region, from any thing which bad been propofed by the No- Me Secretary of Skates that Stook! induce his Noble relation to poßpooe hit motion, except one, which was—that in the intermediate time Minifters had de termined they would refign, and retire from thole Stuations which it was the primary intention of the motion of his Noble relation to evince to the Hours and the country. ;bey were Co totally inadequate to i ill. If any fuck sickcowledgment as that were made. he, for his orbit part, thould have no objeftion to the pottponement of the motion. If it were not, he thought it would be very wrong to we* to ik unlefs foam further pledge was givria by the Nolala Secretary of Stabs, that an me.sfure. of a agaiiar lallaancl. or any other that could tied to create any material difference of opinion among their Lordthtps; fhonld be brought forward in the titan time. Lord HAWKESSURY faid, be bad already gimp all Ll:vetoed . *** which it was in his power to ad duce, cemAkewly with his duty ; and as thofe had been infufgaint to induce the 'Noble Marquis to con fent to priftpone his motion to a future day, he could not conceive on what grounds other Noble Lords enaddrobloa to what the Marquis had with fo much libees4y agreed. Lord GUIWIL.LE faid, the Noble Marquis had molt unqueftionably a right to the difpoal of his own motion ; but, as the Noble Secietary of State had not previoufly given any notice of his in tention eR with to have this motion poltponed ; but faddenly prupPfed it at tht very moment it was about to be made, he thought the Noble Marquis was entitled to tetrad an agent into which he had in a manner been fovprifed, and efpecially as the motion might be Laid to be in the hands of the Houle. It was by up tion,n; to pt a' Itop to, or to creort aut degree of inconvenience to public or pri vate bufinefs, but be thought fume pledge fhoold beg given, or e n gagement entered into, that in the inter. mediate alio of thit poltporiemcnt of the motion, no queitiou of it Spatial tendency, nor any meacure that was rely to cance any confiderable difference of opi. pion, ought to be *ought forward. Lord 11AWIcESBtRY faid, he differed very widely fleet the Noble Lard who had jolt At down, as to the prefent motion being in the hands of the Houle. The motion had not been aSually made, though notice had been given of it, and at fuch he was clear it was flill in the hands of the Noble Marquis, to be difpofed of as he fhould think proper ; and as the Noble Marquis had already with the greaten candour agreed to pollpone it, nothing more was in his mind peccary than tor the Noble Marquis to fix the day when he would with to bring it forward. Lord HARROWBY expreffed himfelf by no weans unfriendly to the motion being prifiponed, after what had been fail by the Noble Secretary of State ; but ftill he thought it was neceliary tome further engagement fhould be entered into, that no quelliow of a a fimilar nature lbould be introduced in the mean 'joie, between that and the day on whoott it may be fixed to be b:•-ught forward. The Marquis of ABERCORN laid, he thought the quefli in had already been very fairly determined. The K•ble Secretors - of State had come firs‘ard with an r.rl cc to the that realiins of the highell importance induced him to come forward, as one of his Majefly's Islinillers, and requetted the Noble Nlarquis to poilpone the nry•tion if* which he had given notice to be !nought hiew•rd r n prefect evening, to Conic future day, convenient and agreeable to Mundt . . The Noble Marquis, with that degree ficandiiiir and hberality which fo happily charaelerifi all his ae.ions, had alcnoft inftaatanconfly confuted to the podponemont of his motion, which h id been fince objeEled to by the Noble Baron (Lord Gienville), en the other fide of the Houle, with a degrte of inflexibility to which he was but ton prone. For Lis own pot t, he was no way perfonally intetcfled in the farther than Lasing been induced to ((tine r ut of the coun try. M order to attend the ..1 'ad. The frowns or hilts of the Noble Baron w,..re .t tikc equal tai him, but he thought the isn't perdel.ce of the Noble ,!.lar• qu.s %toe fuch. that he might certainly, if he thole it, poftpone his motion, without the leave or cenfent of the Noble Baron, w ha appeared co arenuoufly to op pofe Lord MELVILLE ;aid, that he was perfeelly aware of the ufa•-:e of Parliament as to the vapor'. ing of any moticii, when the Come was requefled by His hi.jcity'sti:aitters, either on reafons adduced, which fhatccd t!...; it would be dangerous or inc , m• eenient to the palaiie in:veils to bring it farwa d at that particular moment, or that it was perfina y inconven , ent to his 2 , :ajeiy's or to any other Nr.ble.

Earl F . ITZWILLIAM laid, he thought, if the motion was poflponed, fome fuch engagement a, that mentioned by his Noble Friends near him, thould be entered into by his l'sfajAly's Knitter,- Lord HAWKESBIJK Y laid, he had alrcaly more than once allured the Houle, that the reafons which induced him to apply to the Noble Marquis to palpone his motion to any future day to be fixed by himfelf, were of the higheit importance ; and that his duty would not pram him to fay mare, as to the nature of thole reafons. He had, in add:cion to this alfo, pledged his own pausal character, that . there reafous were entitles! to the full weight which be applied to them. After having done all this, he could not but confider the determined oppofition made by feveral Noble Lords, to the Noble Marquis's acceding to this requell, as the at of a fad*, or rather of a party guided by mere difference of Opi nion. if therefore they would not Wien to what had been gated, he fhould trertainly be ready to en ter upon the cubic& of the motion. He could not think of giving any further pledge, or of enserlog into any fpecific engagement on the &Nell ; but he could not conceive their Lordihips would agree to playa flop to or throw any unstecelTary impediments in the way of public or private bufute.fs. He bad no doubt in his own mind, bUt that every care would be taken in bringing forty: -d that hufinsfst to abfaio from any thaw which would have a tendency to create a clifcuffion that thould have a reference to the prcfent motion, or any thing immediately connelted with ir. , Lord r4ULGRAVE fupported the arguments already ufed by. his Noble FtiMds near hint, againa ponponing the motion, without fome filch engage ment as they had fo properly adverted to. He SIC' preffed himfelfhighly indignant at the term of fadtion which had been fo lately applied to him, and his No ble Friends near him. " Fa Lion ! (he oclaimed). How caa fuel) a term be applied to us ; but becaufe we refute implicitly to fubmit to a fallacy which we Ihnuld be athamed to be blind to." The Noble Ile cretary, however, had, fence he ttfed that term, ef fused them that they might Mutt to a man of his conciliatory temper and manners, aodhadindireekly given them to underhand, that no maitre' Mould be brought forward which wight have a teams/ to provoke difcuftion- to which they had otisacd as me diately of immediately connated with the paw motion. Lord GRENVILLE raid, he looked on what had fallen from the Noble Secretary of State as a virtual acknowledgment. that no bufinefs fhould be brought firward that was connedesi with the prefent motion, or that might create difcutlions of a fimilar tendency, and as he did not with to impede in any degree the public or private bufinefs then in its pr?giefs through the Houfa,he fhould not make the motion of adjourn ment to which he had alluded. nor further oppote the poßponement of the prefent motinat. . The Marquis of STA PFORD then Pro d and, moved, that his Motion fhould Rand fixed riciaT neat. which was agreed m. Earl SPENCER faid. that in confespence of what had'fallen from the Noble Lord (Hawice(hury) be fhould not oppofe the propels& dOay. He viewed the declaration of the Noble Loid as amounting to an admiffion that no public banes of importance would take the precedence of. the motion of the Noble l'slaiquit,, and, under this imprelSon. he had nctobjec : . tiro that the queftion be poflponed.—The Motion was then puflponed till Friday nett.

He contended *hit was of importance that no encouragement flioutd be given to fuch espeEtations, bat that merchants* ought, in the moment of profpetitv. to A. with eau.

It was not his intention to pre(' the bee netts which might itilrtefult from fuch a fyllfem la particular inftancea be. was only anxious tta thew that a degree of fucoefs, fully equal to capethation had attended the meafores which they had adorel by ParliaMent. in the Committie of Ways and* • Means left year, he had propnied to rail; 111041/ the; defcript ion of War Taxes, to anillioas and a haWfor the fervice of the year ; tly is, 8 illatent try weans of additional Dtmes laid npea' artdCniotns. and 4. millions and a half as the Faltos 4( the• - Property Tax, providing at the fame tin* (es a ' probable defalcation. fl to millions adelitioael had been raifed in confequence of thofe taxes, his hopes would have been gratified. The Houfe, however,. ia its wifdom„had at that time determined to grant very confiderable exemptions to peefoes palkifing property wader the amount of tsol. per annumbs . , This was expeAsd to °mafiosi a very large de tion from that tax. Sues exemntions allowed by Parliament ; but the prattlieaterelt been, as was expelled, a dimintattos of the of the tax to the amount of not leis, he teZ• than 1,000,ct001. That tax which he had defamed as likely to produce 4,50005a0L could not, therefore, be laid to have produced more than 5,5c0.c0u1. He, however, forefreing this defalcation, had-twit take. fated upon any more than t0,000,0c01. altogether. but in fad, only ch000,000l. • had been produced. He then dated what was the net produce of the taxes ac. cording to their prefent Rate. By the returns whits _ . _ phie:b had he - en made: and the belt information that had been obtained. he might calculate upon Iltstoo,oool. as the amount of the — Culoms and i.teife: He was dcfirous to mention the future grounds on which bs calculated as to the Tax upon Property. He had great fistisfußion in Rating, that the affclTments upon' psopesty amounted to 120,000,0c01. inflead of 50,0c0,0001. as dated in the Income Tax ; and that the atfefrasent on commercial profits, exclufire of others, was double of the fuppofed amount in many places. The gtofs alicffments yielded at prefent 6,0c50,c,c01. annually; and if he allowed for the dedue. :ions adopted by Parliament, he might calculate with out exaggeration, a probable addition of 4,830,0001. He coAdcred himfflf, therefore, as entitled to calcu late the probable produce of thofe taxes at ic,000,0001. hut which he mould only call 9_000,0c.0i. He thould not he difappointed in a future year it he now eili. mated their produce at s 2,700,0001. that is, the amount of the Culloms and Dmies of Extrifis at 8,z00,00c1. and the tax upon property at mgoo,ca... o '. He had bc,:n finguine in haying tested formerly the probable amount of the War at 4.5ZN1,0001. bit( it was well known that great and unf >inmate ddan had taken place in the Tax upon Property, notwithfianding which, the acquel prod. , :e of the War Taxes, up to this day (Anti: 3n) for the lag ha.f year, was only s t of theft cltmated aniaimt. An apprellenliura had been very reafonahly espreired, that the effeas of aduptiag fuels a fyltena w w ,zht be to interfere with the amount of the perm*. ncnt taxes, but he was bcond to admit that a fair espetiment of that partivilar had not yet been tried.
