" she flu " tire herein coe•aineel shall continue in force during the present " War, and sint:l Vie nth day of April next, atter the ratification . 4 of a delitiitire 'treaty of Prate, AND NO LONCAit." Secondly, hat atter a 'pledge so solemnly givint, we hays heard wilt the greatest astonishment the avowed intention of the Mi nisters. of Isis Ro;ral Highness the Prince Regent to propose the continua:hitt of th s lax during a Peace, which according to their own declarations is likely to be secure am; permanent. 'l•hirdly, Tl.at we consider the vhilation of a pledge so solemnly and recently given to he an ii,sult on the people of Great liiitant: and a treasure peculiarly calculated to produce a total want of corfidence in :he Govetadne:it tit the Cuatitry. That cur obj, et:nits so this obnoxious Tax, are (if pos-ible) Mei eased, w heti we °bin :ye, that its coettnua•ice appears to he intended Towards the support of a S:ati .in.; Army to an :1- tent hitherto utiMard ot in lime of peace, east.' wh eh we are con vinced ii a Ilseassle ruinous to our Flissucvs, unknown in the lx4n ' times of the Cow:nation, rendered peculiany unnecessary now by the deers -wed condition ill Fraser, etm ray to the I:wear po hey of this country, an 1 ten ling to convert our Free Cinistitution into a Military Ihmostieto. I.:Wily, That this Alerting is convinced that by prosier econo my and retrunchitteuts, the correction of abuses in the expeueli- I use of the public money, the aboli.iou ot all slut cure places ass! unmerited pensions, and by a reduction of the army iO a number agreeable to the Losietitution, an ample revenue may be raised to defray the lareessai y expences of the country, witlio..t having re course to the won:motion of the op restive I at tut beanie.

" The Petition of tie Freeholders and inhabitants of the ‘ounty of Berks.

" after a pledge so snieninly given, we have beard wish the greatest astonishment the avowed barium:l tit the Ministers of his Royal Highness the Prince Regent; to propose the conti- nuance of this . 1 ax in the time of peace, svni.l, according to their uwu declarations, is likely to be secure and permanent. " I hat your Petitioners consider the violation of a pledge m sOlettlli:y and recently given, to be a measure calculated to pro duce a total want of conlideuce in the Government of the count y. " l hat the objections of your Petitioners to this odious and estimators '1 ax are increased (it passible) by observing that is continuance appeals so be intended towards the support of a Standing Army, to an mem hi'berto unheard of in rime of piece, and which they are convinced is a measure ruinous to the financed of tbe country, unknown In the best times of our Constitution, rendered pecu.:arly unnecessary sow by the depressed coucliuun of Fiance, inconsistent wills the insular policy of the country, and tending to convert our tree Constitution into a military despotism. " That your Petitioners are apprehensive that the Ministers of his Royal Highness the Prince Regent are disposed to measure the Peace Establishment, neither by the two:stint y &matins of the State, nor the distresses of the People, but by nit: utinuet Tonle to which tt c patience of a loyal and solfering People Can be ex - elided. "'That your Petitioners are convoweS that by proper ecoitomy and retrenchments, the correctien of elitists isi the expenditur. or the public money, the abolition of all sinecure places and unme• OW pensions, aud by a reduction ot the army to a number at ree- able to the practice Of farmer elites of peace, art ample revenue may be raised to defray the necessary expenses of the country, without having recuutee to the coottnuation of the oppressive ax em Income. " Your Petitioners therefore humbly pray that the Property Tax may no :mow be corstinued, and that in settling the M litary Peace Establishment, :he first regard may be paid to the preservatioit ot the Constitution and liberties at home. " And your Petitioner* will ever pray." The following Reeolutani was then moved by Mr. Schultes, seconded by Captain Hall, and varied—=That the proposed esti:- tinthence of lax wi.l be a hurdle') proporticsoably grea•er and more oppressive to this country in consequence ot Ireland lasing intended to be exempted from any share ot its imposition.

Earl GIIEY presented a Petition from the Ward of Glenda], in Northumberland, against the Property Tax. The Petition, as toe Noble Lord stated, was signed most numerously by considerable' Landholders and others interested in the agricultural and conamer -641 prosperity if the country. They strongly depre• sated a renewal, under any modifications whatever, of a tax, the operation of which they regarded as be. ing not only oppressive and vexatious, but h stile to the freedom and independence of British subjects.a.- The exigencies of the State, whatever they might be found to b ought, in t;;eir opinion, to be supplied by far arerent means than such as were calculated to support, in time of peace, an immense and over grown Military establisament, dangerous at once to the einstitution, and ruinous to the finances. The Petition concluded with recommending, in humble and becoming terms, a system of strict and whole- Wale economy. The Earl of CARNA RVON presented a Petition from the County of Somerset against the Property Tax. It was signed by the Gentlemen, Clergy, Free- • holders, and others, and while it suggested the means of a useful economy in the administration of the pub lic finances, lamented the unnecessary and danp,;erons extent to which our military establishment was pro. posed to be brought, an establistrinent of a nature widely different from. what they had been prepared , to expect, after the triomp:tent success of a cnnrv. of 25 years, diming which trey, in common with their countrymen at large, had cheerfully contributed to the public demands.

The Duke of BEDFORD rose and expressed his deep regret at the accident of personal infirmity which on 'l'llursdey last had• prevented his proceed ing on the important husine,s for which he had soli cited the attention of their L )rd.hips, and on which he then presumed to claim the indulgence Of the House. He could most solemnly assume their Lord ships, that nothing but a strict and conscientious sense of his duty could have induced him to wider take a task for which there were so many Noble . Lords about him so much more competent ciao self. He was led to the course which he was taking by a serious reflection on the condition in which the country was placed, on the enormous and most ex traordinary extent of the military peace establish— ment which had been proposed, on the unprecedented burdens to which the people bad been subjected, and on the general distress of the country. His wish Was to induce the House to go into a Committee. It would be expedient there to inquire whether the pro. digious military establishment which had been pro. posed was really necessary or not. Whatever might be deemed requisite, it was clear to every rational and reflecting man, that considerable teductions ought to take place in all the departments, a view to that system of economy, without which it was impossible fur the public affairs to prc coed. If their Lordships looked to the present state of Europe generally, they would find in every view of it abut. dent reason for the policy which he suggested. That prospect, more strongly than at any twiner period, recommended such measures, and if his Majesty's Ministers, with such a state of things before them, and with the recollection of what ought previously to have been impressed on their minds, had not made adequate use of means so largely in their power, they were deeply responsible to the country for their =is. sions •or mismanagement. It had been said by.a French writer, who was •adverting to the power and the acts of Louis XIV. that the love of military power was the , disease of Sovereigns; happily that disease had not yet reached -England, and it would be alarming to think, and horrible to apprehend that ? by any fatality, it should ever reach us, or that Great Britain should be subjected to a military Go. vernment. He could not, however, be f ree from alarm in contemplating the distribution which had bean made of the military force, 25,000 men placed in Great Britein, the same number allotted to Ire. land, and thirty thousand quartered in France. He would ask whether such an enormous force was really, . at the present . time, wanted for any wholesome or national puipose t He would farther inquire, *he. ther the troops assigned to G ibraltar and the other .
