THE ARMY. As will be seen by our port letter, the fleet of men war, having en board the 2d, 36th, 51st, .51d, and sslh Regiments, have not yet sailed ; the reason of ibis i 5 not known, as Sir JOSEPH YORKE and all the troops were on boa: - .I on Monday, and the wind was fair. . _ •I'he ‘2d battalion, II th regiment, destined for Ctd:z, with recruits for the Guards and other corps ti:ue, and some transports with recruits for the regi moats in Portugaliand various stores for the army tael e, sailed from Spithead, on Monday. The East indio, Mediterranean, and West India fleets sailed At the same time ; all of them carrying out consider able detachments of troops for the -armies in those carters. We u nderstan3 that on Sunday another fleet will sail from Portsmouth, and one from Plymouth, car rying out further reinforcements for our army in Por tugal. In the fleet from Portsmouth will proceed 13.tron ALTEN'S and Colonel HALKET'S light batta lions of the German Legion, with reinforcements for most of the regiments of infantry in Portugal. At Plymouth will embark the Marquis of LOTHIAN'S fi.le regiment, the I Ith Dragoons. The East Kent Militia has removed Hitt Dart moor Barracks to its former quarters at Exeter. Captain 11.twxnn, of the 14th Dragoons, is so far recovered from his late relapse, as to be able to em bark once more for Portugal from Portsmouth.— Ile is on board the VICTORY man of war, with a fair ..;ncl. The VICTORY has also on board Gen. Loxo, Oen. BORNE, &c. Scc. as passengers. TO THE . EDIYOR. SIR—I request you will favour me with inserting t;ie following considerations on the present liability the Pay of the Officers of the Navy and Army to Tax upon Property.

Stn—The London newspapers - of the 9th instant, laving stated that General Gascoigne had arrived at Plymouth, on his way to the Island of Malta, which presumably will defeat and sypercede the motion of which General Gascoigne, at the close of last Session c: Parliament, gave notice of his intention, in the suc ceeding Session to bring forward in his place, touching t;.e liability of the pay of the Officer to the Tax upon Property ; his regretted absence suggests the expe diency of bringing before the public eye some cir cumstances, recently collected, in addition to those already submitted in my letter of last July. In That letter, that Act of William 111. was ad duced, under which, for the first time in these Realms, a Property Tax was laid, in which all degree: of people nuhais9ever were called upon to pay the twentieth part of their respective incomes and profits, the o_scerl of the Army and Navy only excepted. In the succeeding reign of Oueen Anne, that reign, in which the battle of Blenheim was fought, in which the overgrown, the all-grasping at power of Louis the XIV. was checked and baffled, in the first year of that reign, Statute 2d, c. 15, there is an Aid granted to her Majesty, by a Tax upon professions, trades, and offices, which is apparently most equitably graduated, 501. per cent. seen certain specified stocks and trades, one shilling in the :t and upon certain owes, four shilling: in the pound upon professions deriving great advantages, and OFFICERS OP THE NAVY AND ARMY, WHO ARE MUSTERED, EX EMPTED. Not only is this exemption to Officers in rnuster,but also SUPERANNUATED SENIOROFFICERS ON HALF-PAY ARE EXEMPTED. Thereby not dashing the cup of comforts from the palsied lips of the worn-out veteran Senior Officer. Mr. Pitt, in the debate in 1798, in the introduction of the Income Tax, is re i7orded, in the new series of the Annual Register, to Nave said " he acquiesced in what had been so often •ad, that it would h ave b een f ortunate if t h e pract i ce of tunding had never been introduced, and that it was not terminated was much to be lamented ; but if the Na von was arrived at a moment which required a change nf system, it was some encouragement for the people to look forward to benefits, which on all former oc i : ions had been unknown, because the means of ob teeeng them had been neglected." That similar means hid been resorted to at the above stated pe• riots:, the two Acts already quoted evince. Unques nenahly, no period of our history surpasses in bril liency or utility the great epoch of William and Anne, ia teliich period the Officers of the Navy and Army ten:iv:el untouched the Pay the Legislature voted to Legislature of the present day appro 7`'.etes also mosey to the Officers of the Navy and `l , rnye the tenth of nitich is not received by them. Tut Common Lau' is most conclusively favourable - te the integnty of the pay of the Officer: Mr. Chris 'Tan, in the 12 t h edition a Blackstonee Commen- • tett es, p. 4.17, quarto edition, note 8, says, " it is now holly established, that both the full and half-pay of an nfeeer, ne any person in a Military or naval character, eannet be asst fated before i; is due ; as the object of eceh pay is to enable those who receive it always to tie reeds ! to serve teeir country with treat eleJenzy and R.',., 7 i• • their respective characters and station r roc. wire. The Annual Register of 1791, vol. 33, p. of Chronicle, gives the following case, argued and eeeerrnined in the Court of King's Bench. , The pla-atiff, an officer on half pay, in want of money, • aepeed to a money-lender, who, on the usual assign :).f et of his half pay, registered at the Pay Office of Army, advanced the money required. When • 'ealf years became due, thetheplaintiti, notWithsten ' !e.2 aseignrnent, as above, made a demand of cif ply from the Paymaster-General, who re to pay it ; and npon this refusal he brought his ee.n u . poa the case, to recover it. The action was et the Sitziegs atter Hilary Term, before Lore! eeenee and a verdict found for the plaintiff, with • :y kr the defendant's Counsel to move for a nosy •.• • Al ter .natty learned argumentsand cases cited • rect dents, the Court WeIC clearly of opinion that • T ' s Half pay, being allowed by the public for the . ( maintifning gentlemen in the Navy and ut it Ole nectteaucs of the 3ute required their Precedent is always admitted to be of great force and validity. The doctrine of law respecting prece dents is this--g That precedents and rules must be followed, unless flatly absurd or unjust ; for though their reason be not obvious at first view, yet we owe such a deference to former times, as not to suppose that they acted wholly without consideration."— Blackstone, vol. 1, p. 70. Mr. Christian, in his note hereon, says -4g Precedents and rules must be follow ed, even when . they are flatly absurd and unjust, if they are agreeable to ancient principles." Mr. Per ceval, on the 17th inst. in the debate on the 7th clause of the Regency Bill, says—" Nor was there any de gradation in following the example of our ancestors, and doing as they had done before us in similar situ ations." Sir Samuel Romilly, in his debate on the Resolu tions of the 2d instant, say s—" that precedents were however to be'.considered here as they are in Courts of Justice." Mr. Leach, the very Learned Member for Seaford, in his late speech in the debate on the Resolutions, the which excited so much admiration and respect, says—" That a.principle, to give it the sanction of support which 'should entitle it to be acted on by that House, could only have its foundation in the Com mon Law of the land, or in the practice of Tharlia meat proceeding in an uninterrupted course. Now, a single precedent of modern times could have no such sanction, if not supported by more ancient au thorities. This inquiry first involved a question of right, Men a question of exile:limey." I have thus been able to produce great authorities in favour and support of the validity of precedents. At the period when Magna Charta had been passed, the Barons with one voice declared 44 Nolumur Lege: Anglia mutari," hereby importing, that the sacred principles which had then been established, were not to be departed from. The Petition of Right and Declaration of Rights have confirmed t: le same ; the 1 latter Act was passed in the very session that the Property Tax was first introduced into this country I 1 in King William's first year, when all degrees what- ! Isoever were called upon for the 20th, subsequently to I the 10th, to which latter was added also a twentieth : Ithe whole of these Acts granting exemptions only to the Officer: of the Navy and Army. Thus then may we I I say Arolumu: Lege: Anglia muiari." I have shewn the practice of Parliament, proceeding in an unin- I terrupted course (when..!ver similar instances have occurred, and I know of no other instances) of simi. lar exemptions having been an integral part of the ! Act. Had these Acts been in the contemplation of I Parliament at the period of the introduction of the present Income Tax in 1798, (the Record of the De-. Mates shews not even the least reference, to them) the exemptions the profession of the navy and army were . then in the fruition of, would also have been before! Parliament, and their discontinuance of which known exemption, would have been a declaration of their pleasure and decision, which, however militating with precedent, still would have had reference to former , similar modes of taxation, any exemption from which it was then thought expedient to supersede and do away ; but, as it did happen that these Acts were not referred to, it is a source of no inconsiderable conso lation, that that principle which at the present day governs Courts of Law, when military pay is agi tated before them, also governed the Statute Law at the great epochs already recited, and may presumably t b e n o t entirely onslesetvong of the attention of the services, neither equity, good conscienee, reliey, noe'ltvw," Legislature in the present period of accumulated and would permit them to sell or assign their daily bread.' enhanced price of every article of first necessity, wises This case certainly a pp ears o b v i ous to t h e susp i - every bran!, and departme n t of life it receivin g eielier a eion of having stood upon not honest grounds; and panic or prizote IneEorntion. yet, maugre the hollowness of the ground, and the The professions of the navy and army are governed questionableness of the motive of this application to_ by a code particularly applied to their government, a Court of Law, the Court resisted the possibility of under the name of the Mutiny Act, by which indis the diversion of the pay of the officer from its legiti- pensable restri:tions and obligations are imposed upon mate object, the maintenance of the officer, even for them.

Lord Chancellor Thurlow opposed the Bill. With regard to the clause which related to commissioned officers, he was vet:) , ready, he said, to assist to extend the arm of the public to the relief of that deserving description of men ; but theathe could not consent to extend the arm• of the public to their relief, at the expence of individuals." After urging other objections to particular clauses of the Bill, he took notice of the Act commonly known by the name of the Lords' Act, in which an alteration had lately been made of considerable benefit to debtors. He bad been prevailed upon two years ago, by a Noble Earl (Lord Effingham), to consent to extend the sum, hmited by that Act, from £lOO to co, which, considering the difference in the value of money ROW from what it was' when this Act firsr parsed, he thought not unreasonable. Another argument urged by him against the Bill, was drawn from the pre amble of the last Insolvent Debtori' Act passed soon after the riots in 1780 : this preamble, be said, was not of his drawing, but of a much abler man ; and the plain meaning of it was, an intimation to credi. tors, that it was not very likely that any more insol vent Bills would be passed ; now, though he would I admit that one Parliament could undo what a prece ding Parliament had done, he atked their Lordships, whether they were willing so wantonly, so rudely, to trample on the authority of a former Act, and break the federal compact, which, by that preamble, they had, as it were, entered into with creditors? This last observation I beg to apply to the already quoted exemption of Ist William and Mary, and that of the Ist Queen Anne, now adduced, of the pay of the officer of the Navy and Army ; for•although it is most true, that 44 quad populut postrennan justit, id jut **alum esto ;" there does, in these instances appear, under repeated solemn Acts of the Legislature in two successive reigns,and in WhigAdministrations,a fede. ral compact, which, up to the commencement of the InCome and Property Taxes, has sheltered the pay of the officer from every direct taxation. I believe there is not any instance in the European world where the military profession, including both branches, has been called upon by law to relinquish any portion of that pay respective countries may have voted and stipu lated to pay them. IeETAINITH, Jziarimr 21. The Anniversary of her MAJESTY'S Birth-day was observed here with every mark of loyalty and re spect. At one o'clock a royal salute was fired from the guns at Portland Castle, which was returned by one of his Majesty's ships of war at anchor ,in our roads. A Ball took place at Harvey's Rooms, which was attended by General ACKLAND and his Staff, the Officers of the 11th Light Dragoons, Dorset Militia, and all the rank and faslsion of the place. Orders were this week received by the 11th Regi ment of Light Dragoons, under the command of Colonel Ct,:amtsw, to hold themselves in readiness to proceed on fo:eign service. The same were commu nicated by their Commander on' Parade at the head of this regiment, and received by the whole line with j loud acclamatio ns . Thi s fi ne b o d y o f men are ex ceedingly well officered and appointed, and in their discipline not inferior to any in his Majesty's service. Whenever they quit this Town, they will carry with them the universal good wishes of all ranks. The Officers, by their politeness to our fashionable visi tants, and. the Non-commissioned Officers and Pri vates, by their unexampled sobriety and good cun duct, justly merit every encomium. Our coast continues to be infested by French pri vateers, and frequent captures are made off the island of Portland, notwithstanding the vigilance of the cruizers on this station. His hlaje-ty's sloop PLO vtat, Captain CAMPBELL, has made some recaptures, and is very active in driving the enemy off the coast; but these petty marauders are in general of the first class in point of superior sailing ; it is, therefore, a matter of deep regret, that the Board of Admiralty do not add to the different stations some large well-equipped cutters and Tuggers ; till this is done, the enemy will continue their depredations with success, and annoy our coasting trade with serious effect. The weather is become settled and moderate, and its inclemency abated very seasonably for the feelings of the•distressed poor. Independent cf £lOO given by Sir JOHN LOWTHER JOHNsToNE, Bart. Sir JAMES WARM/ PULTENET has also directed £5O to be distributed among them in coals and bread.-- These laudable acts have been followed by Mrs. C. BUXTON, Mrs. W.WILLIAMs, Mrs. Du PRE PoRCHER, and the Rev. Mr. CHAMBERLAIN, rector of Wyke Regis, ordering blankets, bread, coals, &c. to be bestowed among. the most indigent, at a time when their munificence must have proved most benign. The principal Inhabitants of Wyke, anxious to keep pace with their worthy Pastor in manifesting good works, opened a subscription, and from its produce were enabled to distribute several hundred weight of beef among their suffering and aged parishioners. BRIGHTON, JANUAR? . 27. Captain BATES and family are among the most recent departures, and they have been succeeded by General BROWN and family, who occupy the house they vacated, in Marlborough-row. It is understood that General BROWN has assumed the command lately held here, under Lord C. Sostßesit., by General HousTouN, and which that meritorious officer re signed, to embark for actual service in Portugal.— The troops in this district have been considerably di minished during the present week, the following regi ments, from their respective cantonments, having marched for Portsmouth, for embarkation, to reinforce the army under Lord WELLINGTON, viz. the 2d, the Ist battalion of the 3Gth ; the 51st, 521, 2d battalion, and the 85th, and the I st and 9.d light battalions of his Majesty's German Legion. The remains of Mrs. PAM:HURST, an elderly lady of this town, were interred in the church-yard here, lon Friday. The deceased WAS burnt to death, by her clothes taking fire, while reading by the stove, in her own drawing-room, on the preceding Sunday; she survived the dreadful catastrophe but a few hours.— ! A child of the name of Harris was burnt to death in West•street, on Monday last. The sportsmen in this town and neighbourhcod met with some ple asant di vers i on , on F r i day, i n fo l . ! lowing the Falmer pack of hariers ; three hares were killed, after the most severe running of the season, and many of the steeds, in the end, were pretty well knocked up. During one chute, Mr. CRoss's horse was seized with the-staggers, but, happily, no injury befell the rider. DIVIDENDS. John Baster, late of the Strand, Middleset, taylor, &c.
