••• wise — PROPERTY TAX. AT a MEETING of the INHABITANTS .of the TOWN and f POOLE, holden at the Guildhall, on Saturday, COthe 4eh day of February, Isis. SAMUEL WESTON, Esq. Mayor, in the Chair. Resolved, That the Tax upon Income, corameoly called the Property Tax, is, in the opinion o f this eeting, partial, oppres sive, and unconstitutional; partial and oppressive, because due dittinctlon is not made in the levying of It, between limited In comes arising from Annuities, precarious and fluelnating ones, *rides from Trade and other uncertain sources. and *nines arising from real and permanent Property; unconstitutional, be- cause it authorises an inquisitorial examination into the pecuniary circumstances of Individuals, degrading to those exposed to it, and revolting to the mind of every Free Man. Resolved. l'bat the said Tax was adopted at a season of un u:alal national embarrassment, and expressly 1-clared to be a War Tax only, with a provision that it should cease at a limited period after the termination of the then existing hostilities. liesolved, That t97s Meeting bath nevertheless strong reason to believe that it is the intention of his Majesty's Ministers to , attempt to cootinuS or to renew the said Tax alter its legal ex. piratian, on the 6th day of April next. Resolved, That at a period when the restoration of Peace has encouraged the . Nation to hope for, and gives it reasonable *rounds to exytzt relief from the bur:hens of war, and anxiously to too\ forward to a salutary and efficient retrenchment of the rational expeediture ; the continuance in its present form, or the renewal under any modification, of a system of taxation which Ins by experience been proved to be odious, VEMIIMM, oppres• rive, and unconstitutional, must necessarily tend to irritate and estrange the public mind. Resolved, therefore, That a Petition be presented to the Cont. mons ilause of Parliament, praying that the Tax on Income, commonly called the Property 'fax, may not be renewed, nor any modifiratian of it be adopted. Resolved, That the Petition now read Is approved of; and that BENJAMIN LESTER LESTER, EMI. and MICMARL ANGELO TAYLOR, Esq. the Representatives of this 'Down and County in Patlianient, be requested to present the same, and give the prayer of it their support. Resolved, that the Members for the County of Dorset be re quested to rapport the prayer of the said Fetiches in Parliament. Resolved, That these Resolutions be published in the STAIR, the Salisbury, and the Sherborne Newspapers- SAML. WESTON, Chairman . Resolved, That the Thanks of the Meeting be given to the Worshipful the MAYOR, for his readiness to call the Meet ing, an/ for his pulite and attentive conduct in the Chair. KENT GAOL, MAIDSTONE.

Ms! if solve r said ties, when • carried o ff Pardioand to Deo aid same is the story now. it is assertir that the Mood Ferdinand entertains the design of enter- lag a second time into the holy state of marriage, and that there have been contests and parties on the person who is to be the happy bride. We are told, that Bardaze, our Ambassador at the Court of St. Petersburgh, intimated the advantages that would result from a connection with st Ruatas Itrineess—a proposition which was listened to at first with mien: tion, because it was likely to bring with it power and security. But on reflection, this would not do, for the mitts who surround Ferdinand took the alarm' lest the Greek schism dwild be introduced with the Greek devotee ; or if the mischief were not so great of a public nature, still this private calamity would be involved with it—their powerful influence over the mind of the King would be destroyed. eg Under this embarrassment, as wedding there must be, it was suggested that two Princesses of Portugal. daughters of the Infanta Donna Carlota, would make good wives for his Majesty, and his brother Don Carlos. This notion has given satisfac- tion, and the Most Reverend Father, Fr. Bernardo Diaz, has set oft for Brazil to open the negotiations, and although he has waited at Lisbon for some days the return of she ships, it seems he has gone without them by one that was ready for departure.—Mat ters proceed just as heretofore ; that is to saf, bail as bad can be. Imprisonments are continued, and the atro cities with them. Sometimes they speak of pardon, but generally when they hold forth such expectations, it is but the prelude of some new act of oppression. To complete out miseries, we have the Inquisition established in full authority, which was the only thing wanting to our utter annihilation." EAsr INDIES. CALCUTTA, JULY 20, ISI 4. The Ukhbars (Messengers) from Labor, bringing accounts from the Camp of Runjeet Singh, received in the last and present week, detail very fully the nu merous obstacles to the success of hip expedition to obtain the possession and sovereignty of Kashmeer. Of the cordial co-operation of his Feudatory Chiefs be can have no expectation, and even the men who are his personal retainers and his confidential friends, complain constantly of the difficulties and fatigues of the passage over the mountains, and are loud in their entreaties to urge his return. This feeling seems so general, that we may safely affirm Runjeet Singh has no associates in the enterprize but his own ambition and perseirering determination to proceed ; and we may almost venture to predict,. that without be is assisted by some unexpected fortunate occurrence which may inspire a confidence now wanting, the army will disband themselves. on the first fleck, and return to the plains of the Punjab. Perhaps the dis inclination to proceed may be traced to the peculiar habits of these tribes living in a ehampaign country, and only extending their ravages into neighbouring territories where rivers fordable at particular season* gram not only a passage to the invader, but also per. mit his quick return when satiated with plunder, or driven by a superior force. In the present expo& xion the mountainous barriers are crossed with great labour, and the torrents which the encreasing rain may swell, will add to the difficulties of their return. —The attempt to trace new routes through such a country would be impracticable to small parties of broken and flying cavalry, which might be destroyed by the inhabitants, while if they chose to congregate in large bodies, they could not ensure subsistence for a day. These considerations, or something very like them, have operated in the mind of Mohukkim Chund the Raja's Minister, who unmoved by the entreaties of his master, seems determined not to participate in the glory and profit of the enterprize, and that it may not be said of them that • both their ease forego,' has become politically indisposed, and retracing his foot steps, returns, by permission, to Labor. The latest accounts extend from the 6th to the 10th , of June. The Raja of Rujouree, who had fled, ac cording tolormer accounts, on the approach of the Sikh army, and made overtures to Muhammad Uzeem Khan, the Governor of Kashmeer, came into the camp of Runjeet Singh, at Barawal, where be was received with great ceremony by Runjeet Singh, and complimented with many presents. Since the Sikh Chief set out on this expedition, the principal stages have been from Wuzeerabad on the Chunab to Goojrat. hence the course may be traced on Airowsmith's Map in a northerly direction to ltnjawar (Rujouree), where he arrived on the 10th of Jane, passing through Nonshnhreh and Barth , wal. From Rujouree, the camp of the Governor of Kashmeer is distant about thirty miles, at a placed called Beerinjal, but in the imp Peer Pun chal, which lies at the southern foot of the mountain encircling Ka shutter. In the latter part of this journey, Runjeet Singh had been joined by some of the tribes inhabiting the bills, bet the disgust of the army seemed to encrease at every stage, and when a remonstrance was made re presenting the number of hones and camels that.had daily perished, he promised to consider the propriety of auy further advance when be arrived at Rujooree, where the latest accounts leave him. The farce opposed to the Sikh army, and encamp ed at the foot of the hills, was said not to exceed 2000 bone and foot, but no doubt their numbers were mid:limed in the reports spread by order of Runjeet I we observe that the Raja has a few pieces of horse *ninety. From Jypoor and the camp of the Holkars there is little interesting. Moohummud Shah Khan, Ameer Khan's deputy, has obtained possession of Hindoun, ostensibly in the name of the Jypoor Raja, to whom he has refused to deliver it, until reimbursed the ex penses. of the siege. Kohrehreh, a neighbouring fort, is now also occupied by his troops. Doondee Khan, the commander of the garrison, moved off with 300 horse to Biana, and the infantry were ca. joled by promises of their arrears, to quit the place. The dtssentions between the widows of Holkar and his old enemy Synclines still continued, though the Bases had on a occasion shewn their desire to avoid further cause Tor offence. Some officious per. sons In thejr camp told the Valwel of Sires that Mt prole tit the Dorian- was oo lon desirable, and he abscated himself accOrdiney- Yndbfeas on _ . _ t hearing the supposed affrorttto its Ambassador, re; islistW i and expressed greatindipation t on learn ing the trite state of the' case, the Bases sent for the Whorl of Syntlheea, and loaded his with civilities and assurances of their high consideration. Yesterday morning an express from the Governor General's Political Agent at lAcknow, announced to the Vice-President in Connell. the melancholy intelli gence of the death of his Highness the Nawab Wu. seer Saudut Mee .Khan Buhadoor, who departed this life on the night of the 11th inst. in his 66th year. His Highness was the second son of Sujs-ood 1)ow. lab, and the grandson of &fur Jong, men of great note and ability in the latter years of the Mogul Go. vernment. The Begin», his mother, is, we believe, still alive, and residing at Pyzabad. His Highness has left a numerous progeny by women of every class of the inhabitants of Asia : of the elder legitimate sons, the second was 'justly the favourite. Spdaz Ullee Khan succeeded his brother's adopts dal. when removed from the Government of Oud by Sir John Shore, in January, 1793. He had resided in Cal. ante and at Benares since the time of his quitting LOcknow, and was conveyed incopito to Cawnpoor, after the treaty was concluded by Mr. Cherry, by by which he was put in possession of his brother's do.. minions; and from thence was attended by the Bli. tish forces to dwr Capital. _ . cm.,ourrA, .luNz SR, Private letters from Java mention an insurrecti , •n which had taket place at hlacasser, but which, how. ever, we are happy to add. is said to have been subdued. By the Ukhbars or country intelligence received yesterday, we learn that certain intelligence had reached the Camp of Ruajeet Singh at Wuseerabad, of the death of Muhummud Uzeem Khan, the Go vernor of Kushnther, which confirmed kis determina dun to achieve the conquest of that country. All his Sirdars, it is now said, ware unpimous in their opinion of the practicableness of this scheme, and represented that the success of the enterprise desd. ed on their immediate advance, while the Wii;etT Fntteh Khan was absent, the country distracted with intestine cont4ntion t and the army of the late Go vernor disorganized and without a leader. Rolm Singh immediately invested Pouch Singh With the chief command and an honorary dress, and crossing the Chunalt river, marched in the end of May to wards Rujooree. • Oa the 26th of May, in the camp of Mahar Rao. a letter was received from Ameer Khan, relating the particulars of a defeat he had sustained kin the bat talions of John Baptiste. Ameer Khan had lost 20 guns, and urged for a reinforcement of 5001) horse. —The letter concludes by informing the Baer, that after his intended conference with Zalins Singh, he should return to the scene of his late defeat. _ The Peshwa had written to reprove the ',sees for their present disagreement with Sindhees. Colonel Baptiste was gone to Chandelier, and intended to visit Sironj. Ameer Khan eontinued his predatory exeursionF, and his movements had akareae4 the 4 4 1 4. of Nag. par, who had detached mops to the banks of the Nerbudda, and written on the subject to thtcamp of the Bates i they appear to have no contrind over his actions, and in consequence of repeated complaint 4 entreat his forbearance from plundering the pargun , nah of Kothree. ft also appears that a leiter had been net from Poona, requesting the interference of the )3ritish Agent to otitain the evacuatson of Malaguth by the troops of Sindheea, with a view to conciliate his op poneuu. The whole country is representrd to be in a state of anarchy. The Mbar: from Jypoor extend to the Slit of gay, but they contain no interesting details. BOMBAY, JUNE 24. On Wednesday arrived the ship Hannah, Captpin A. McQuaker, commander, having on board as pas sengers Richard Woodhouse, Esq. the Honourable F. Semple, Surgeon, and Mr. John Mills, of the Royal Navy. The Hannah, respecting which so much apprehen• sites had been felt, bas bad a tedious *d eventful voyage . from England; in the course of the voyage, however, the gallant crew of this merchant vessel has performed as singular a naval exploit as we ever remember to have had the satisfaction of recording. Sbe beat off, and was only prevented by the superior sailing of her antagonist from taking. an American sloop of war, of 22 guns, full of men and completely equipped for the predatory system of warfare which that nation has too long successfully pursued. When it is considered that a vessel of no more than 450 tons, with a small complement of men and ill adapt• ed in every respect for a warlike contest s engaged jA a most determined and spirited manner, foe four or Bye hours, a sloop of war of the above description, and succeeded in the contest ; it is impossible to abr stain from feelings of admiration or to withhold that just tribute of applause which is dee to the heroes who fought on that occasion. We trust that the liberality which has so cone stantly characterised the Underwriters at Lloyd's, 'will lead them to make a handionie present to the Captains and Officers of the Haonah.
