In 1793, the 3 per Cents. were at *I : , -lace that period they had nut only imgressivety . . risen, but we had been able t o b orrow s i x hundred millions! Thus, without the Property Tax, tht country never would have been in its present flouris: ing situation, and he was decidedly of opinion, that five times more might be raised by it than by any ,thi.r mea•uro. Mr. BARCLAY thonght that lionarrte had only been replaced on t h e throne by asc ldicry eager for bloodshed anA rapine, and who bad placed bin• there hec lose thy esracted nothing butt peace from' the li•uurbons. This state of things required the m..s, vig..rous prep 'rations, whether for w:..r or peace ; an.) seriti',7, no other in:3ns tor supporting such prepara tions, he should give his hearty support to the ine,tl sure. lie. was glad to learn that the Ch incellor of the Es•-hequer meant to propose some modification , of the •l'an, and he should be happy to contribute to ward.; such an olfi•ct, as he was convinced that this Tax had b•c nate so very obnoxious chiefly on ac. count to ti: • mode of its coll ect i on . _ _ .11 L. BRAND deptec4ted any discussion on the merits ot the Property Tat as premature, as nothing had yet occurred which could lead the House to conclude that its readop:ion was necessary. He was ready to admit that great preparations ware proper at the present time ; but he wanted information be fore he would pleAge himself that his cons6Luents should undergo the oppression of this tax. It tl,c sums which it was to produce were necessary, he would rather meet the views of Ministers by a vote of credit, than by resuming so odious a measure, which had not been proved to be necessary. Before it should be adopted, its necessity ought to be proved to the House and the country ; and if it were Una voidable, he did not know any better tax, provided it undtrwcat certain moditicttions. That its necessity might be fully ascertained, he should move as an Amendment, that any debate upon it be deferred till this day fortikht. Mr. FOLEY seconded the Amendment, after a f-w - hriet o!),ervations, to the effect that the country did not 110 W possess the - same ability to pay the tax , that it had tot some years past. Mr. TIERNEY said, lie should not consent to the Speaker's leaving the Chair, unless same information were given ot a decisive nature. Mr. Vs' I lITB R EA.I) objected to the renewal of dr Tax now. whi..ii it thus imposed in a time of peace, w:alld be saddltd on the country for ever.—(tVo, fi OM Me Minist,srial side if the Houre.)—So it appeared to him ; for it the itii;ht Hon. Gentlem was not now able to meet the wants of the country without it, f,ow would he be able to meet it on future occa siois ? Y.e was in favour of the Amendment. L ird Cikei I'LrIitEAGH denied that the adep tion of the Propel ty Tax now would entail tie Tax on the country ; the contrary, if the Ctiai.celh r of the Exchequer loot been allowed to go to his state• meat, the lionoureble Gentleman voinld Levi! found that the propositiiin we. only ter contienino ti-e Tax for one year. It the House shoeld feel .t confidence in his Mejesty's Government, and concur with them in tile opiiiion of the peace establishment it was necessary to keep up tinder existing circeni t° put this country in safety, they woold aerie! with Ors Right Hee. Friend's :notion. If, on the coivor , they shiblil agree with the Honottreble Gentl !now, and place the same confidence in the veyot at tee head of the French Government which the i 't ole Ginitlemm had alweys done ; but which, f eta. n itchy k the country they lied not, note i•iistondino the arguments and prophecies of the If Gentletuao, yet done ; then they would rcfese to place confidence in the Executive Gov.rnment. I‘. however, the Home sliuiOd piece confidence in the Executive Goveromeet, he would venture to pro phecy, notwithstendeig the predictions of the lion. Gentleman,- that the country would ag.tin be pi iced in the eminent situation of being the preserver of the liberties of Europe.—( Near, hear.) Mr. WIIITIMEAD and Lord CAsrLEitEAaII mutually explained. Mr. PONSONBY said, he was one of those who thought that it the House should vote the Property Tax without its being shewn that war was unavoid able, that tax would become perpetual, for every future Chancellor of the Exchequer would do' all in his power to make it so. As to modifications, it would be impossible to make any consistent with the efficiency rf the tax. Another objection was, the Ll• clity it afforded to Ministers, to enter upon war and other expensive measures to which it was all absolute provecation. He asked if the Chancellor of the Lx chequer would say that he :night not advert to a loan as well as the Property Tax, and if he could .ut say no, why not take part of that loan now, and thus supply the present ex;gency ? Noble Lord c-no plained of some things 'het had been said this eight, he also complained, that it was impossible to tell when the Noble Lord would thioleit a proper day to 1.4 y before the House all papers r.lative to the proceed. ings of the Congress, though they were daily makieg their appearance through ether channels. The Noble Lord's letter to Prince Htrdenberg was true ; he also thought his letter to Prince Talleyrand was true, and that the letter of the Plenipottoitiariee of the King of Naples was true. He was induced to think so because none of them had been denied ; and from the whole of these he theogf it from his eoul and conscience that the Noble Lind and the Congress had been the means of now placieg beinaparteon the Throne. The letter oldie i t nice Tiiikyrillld was a j production, as it re 'lied to Naples. Nothing was mite natural than for Murat to look to what appeared his best security.— Had the aoteement v ith him been executed, he could I have had no pteteoce nor temptation to act as he is' stated to have done. Indeed, it was generally tinder soiod, that lie leol n e piedeliction for Bonaparte, who wished to aced Naoles to his kingdom of Italy.. If the Noble Lord could chew him (Mr. Pons mby)tiit he was wtoog, he should be happy, both for the ho. neor of this country and for the interests of Europe. ha' giVO,l his teesons already against the property tax, w;iico i.evet could look at in a favourable Lola' MIL I'ON could not vote for this measure, without (*father explanation. Though lie could not give his faith on the declarations of Bonaparte, he I oohed to see nein: cite, ly the state of the question as to pe.tcc or war. He should, therefore, vote for ti,_ oniendinent of the ;clamber for Hertfordshire. •I'oe teetewal of the 'octane Tax was, in itself, a step to viar ; mot m that cese the die was cast. This proposition ives to be conoled with the was like speech of the Noble Lord, who seemed to have the ruling opinion tio this subject. He did not think that we ought to take this step at presents The Tax would . . • * s igried t he more cheer ty by the pirblk, if it ap 'eared u the necessary result of a war, than if • .•emed a means lot entering upon war. No! •ould be 'more willing than himself to give eve , opport to Government in a war, upin a prper 4.c • tsion, provided Ministers could show th:it war w •tevitable. It was nut the ;nt...llect or the prese.• 'cuter of France that :Lied : it was the f,Tri' ot his Gavernment. Ut, courie must be sh.iped :onsiderable degr to the views of t l .e ..".ontiocutal St . t.4ii At rrevot he moist he excused from voting this ultimate step. i-le stt.ao.4 thtlefore vote for postponement, with the deAre of furthet iu tornlatinn. Lord LASCELLES thryiqht this county i slur+•l.! not shew any backwardness, a war should be neces, s4ry. He should be sorry if. tr this couotry should ippear to be at all influenced by.the insidious letter= and decl trations of the present French Government. He mirt hesitate with respect to the question of a ; taut he felt that the withholding of the present equest would be injurious to the public interests or Europe, and to our own defence, should it be neces sity to resort to hostilities. The Ilo►use divickd on the Amendment—Noes, l:43—Ayes, 58—Majority, 1'23. On re opening the gallery, the House was in the Committee, and the Resolutions proposed by the Criat.cH,Lott of the Era:lran:En were passed. The report to he received to-morrow, and the Committee to sit again on Friday. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, to sec at rest the doubts of Gentlemen as to the intention of mak;ng the Property-tax perpetual, he would read his Resolution, which stated, that it was proposed to renew the Act relating to a Tax upon Property for one year, commencing from the sth day of April, 1815. He had not now to propose any new financial measure, but merely to recommend the House and the Country not to relax 'in those exer tions which they had made for so many years past. Mr. METHUEN was against the renewal of the Tax. Mr. FREMANTLE could not assent to the pro positi-in of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, till he had further intornmtion on the subject of peace or war.—Adjourued. 11.1.115UR011 AMR. Vir.NNA, AVRIL S.
