Means fufficient to affect its•rights and to retain h felf in the high rank which it had long held among the nations of the earth. Mr. Timmy entered into a very minute confi deration of the Refolutions moved by the Right Hon. Gentleman and himfelf. If the Right Won. Gentleman's argument, concerning the proportion the finking fund bears to the national, proved any thing, it proved that our fituatior, was now thrice as favourable as it was in the year i 786. He thought the grounds on-which the Right Hon. Gentleman had argued for the profperity of the country, extremely fallacious. While our bur dens were permanent, our refourccs, he feared, were many of them temporary. Upon the con elufion of a peace, he contended, we should be ri valled in every market by France and Holland ; and it was impoffible the permanent taxes would be nearly fo produaive. . He blamed the Right Hon. Gentleman for an overfight in making no charge for bounties. The bounty on rice alone would certainly amount to tso,oool. befides thofe on different kinds of grain. Money laid out in this way could not be grudged, but it ought to be car ried to the account. Ire calculated the peace elle eftablilhment for tome years after the war, at 39,000,0001. and !hewed that without any new ex traordinary expence it would be neceffary to lay on heavy additional taxes. He fpoke very forci bly againd the income tax, and denying that it produced the good effefts afcribed to it—cia it with partiality, oppreffion, and injußice l . ri g l e cenfured the fanguine manner in which the Right Hon. Gentleman (poke of our fituation. It was cruel, he Paid, thus to delude the people, when it was evident that they mutt fnffer (till greater pri vations. He faw no caufe for defoondence, but loon grand meafure of finance was indifpenfibly teceffary. A more favourable opportunity to take it might never recur, and our difficulties might be encreafed by every day's delay. It was idle to ca pe& that things , would come round of themfelves. While it was cnminal to fpread unneceffary defpon dence, it was criminal to feed unfubflantial hopes. The Ca...am:Loa of the ExcHauyea Paid that one error feemed to-pervade the Speech of the Ho nourable Gentleman who had juft fat down, and that was that it reprefented him as judging too lightly or too confidently of the financial Rate of the country, and as not looking at it with that fe rioufnefs and folicitude that it called for. He Should be forty that the Route or the public at large Should entertain fuch an opinion of him.— There was no room for defpondency on this point. The tiatement made by the Hon. Gentleman him felf was fully fufficient to preclude any fuch gloomy impreffion. What he faid, and what he Intended to be nnderfltxxl to fay, was, that with prudence, fleadinels and fortitude, all our financial difficulties might loon be furmounted. The more he looked into the refourees of the country, the Snore he was confirmed in that confolatory and confident hope. As to the Income Tax, he thought it a proper meafure of finance, and one that should now be perfilled in : • but as to its duration, he mull remind the Houk, that he had expreffed no opinion. Indeed that was a point on which hie mind was not made up. The Right Hon. Gen. tleman then proceeded to obkrve on-tome inaccu racies in the calculations of the Hon. Gentleman, efpeciallyrefpeaing the defalcation of the Revenue, and the proportion of the Vote of Credit to be paid by Ireland- On this latter point a long converfa tion enfued between Mr. Tierney, Mr. Corry, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer; after which— Mr. WINDHAM role, not to enter into any finan. vial dircuffion of the fubjea more immediately be fore the Houfe, but to animadvert on another that had collaterally been introduced into the debate—. he meant the fubjea of general politics, and the probable Slate of the country at the conclufion of peace, in alluding to which the Honourable Gen tleman thought proper to infinuate that we Should be obliged to furrender many, or tome of the pof feffions which we had acquired during the war, without, at the fame time, holding out any hope that the enemy would be obliged to make any cot.- refpording concelfion on his part. The Honour able Gentleman even added that no man in his fenfcs, no fober thinking man could bring himfelf to think 'that we Should he allowed to keep what we are already in poffetfion of. His principal ob jet in rifing was to avow himfelf to be one of there irrational men who was adverfe to making thee cellions, and he was the more anxious to expreh his fentiment on this point, as a general opiniost feemed induftrioully to be fpread, and in force meafure to be credited, that we were prepared to make the concefficrns alluded to. Agamft that opinion and the principle on which it retied, be mull beg leave to enter his proteft. This indeed was not the proper occafion to enter into thofe did euffions ' but as far as any opinion was delivered upon them, he, for one, mull proteft againti Was that immenfe acceffion of power already gained by France to be Rill farther encreafed by carrion, to be made by us ? That incteak of power had already enabled France to threaten, and more than threaten, the independence of Europe; and Should not this be a motive with us to retain what we poffefs, in order to form tome kind of balance againft that enormous power ?—are we to contri bute to make unequal what is already dreadfully unequal ; or are fentiments expreffive of readinefs to dc• fo, fit to be held out at fo critical a conjunct. tare of our affairs as the prefent ? The principles uttered by that Honourable Gentleman at fuck a moment, were of the utmoft importan ce ; it was' important to know by what num ber defcrip dons of per Cons in this country they were enter tained; it was at leaft material for him to declare that he did not with to be included among them. Mr. Thames , laid, that he had fludioufly and cautioufly abttained from every political topic, and from every thing 'that could lead to a difculLou of that nature.- It limed, however, •that Come ex. preffion had efcaped him on which the Right Hot. Gentleman thought proper to lay hold. That cot preffion infinuated that we ought to be read/ $0 conclude peace even by making great conceffiate, to France; for he believed it to be the general °plot nion that no attempt Should be made to keep the whole of the colonies of which we were now in pa& rzOion. Such an attempt would bc impolitic is many points of view, and it could not fail of citing the envy and jealoufy of the whole world. But fuch is not the difpofition of the country, and if it was, the enemy would never agree to it. But it feems the Right Hon. Gentleman is prepared to infill upon keeping them all, to form a balance againfl the increafed power of France. Yet the very fame Right Hon. Gentleman, when Minillet, did fpecifically propofe to give up every thing, ex cept the Cape of Good Hope and Trincomale.— This was the propofal of Minifiers in the negotia tion at Lille. What new light has fince bud} in , upon the Right Hon. Gentleman's mind ; or what has excited his new alarm at the power of France ? Until he knew this, he fhould fay no more ; for he could not conceive how that which was proper during the negotiation at Lille, fhould be improper now. Mr. Virtannest Paid, no new light had broke in upon him, nor any difference of opinion of which he meant to avail himfelf. He had no difficulty in (Wing, that it mutt happen in every Cabinet, that it was irnpoffible the fame opinion could al ways concur. In (peaking of the fincerity of the Cabinet with refpeet to the expediency of the pro pofed terms of Peace, it muff always be underftood, of the majority of that Cabinet, nor would he dif. femble, but that on many points he had differed from thofe with whom he alted; and, if afked, why, differing with them, he continued to a& with them. he mull fay, thio was not a time for entering on fuch a fubjett, otherwife. he could fatisfattorily anfwer Inch a quellion; it was enough to fay, that his views at the time referred to, were by no means different from thofe he now encl.- tained. Mr. WHITIRIAD could not help expreffing his furprife that the Right Honourable Gentleman fhould have continued to ad with colleagues who differed with him in a point that fo materially af feeted the fafety of the country. The motion for the previous miellion was then put on each of Mr. Tierney's Refolutions ' and car ried without a divi fi on; after which the Chancel lor of the Exchequer's Refolutions were put and agreed to. Some converfation next enfued between Mr. Vanfittart, and Mr. Wm. Lufhington, refpeeting an erroneous ftatement which had gone abroad, of the opinion delivered in a former debate by the latter Gentleman on the fubjeCt of the Income Tax, as chargeable on perfons eligaged in trade, iu which Mr . Lufhington correCted the error and re- fated his opinion. LONDON. TUESDAY. JUNE 30. PRICE OF STOCKS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK : Reduced 64 j i —Confols for opg. 62} — New 3 per Cam. 94.—Ontnium 91 so.

TARN Pasty• with the intelligence that General Hurt Hinton had marched from Rofetta on the Bth inti. with four thoufand Britilh troops, in com pany with a corps of Turks of equal force under the command of the CAPTAIN PASHA, and on the 9th attacked the French near Rahmanich. The enemy were driven in . ; and in the courfe of the night they retired towards Cairo, having left a (mall garrifon in the entrenchments of Rahma nich. On the loth, the fort furrendered, and the combined force then proceeded towards Cairo, having concerted their movements with theGRAND Vizisa, who was at El Hanka, a pofition four leagues diflant from Cairo, in a north-call direc tion. Our lofs at Rahmanich is tinted not to ex ceed thirty men. The Turkifh Officer reports, that a reinforce ment of three thoufand Britilh troops had arrived at Aboukir, about the 6th of May. (Signed) 11.0111. . Admiral Lord Natson arrived yeDerday at Yarmouth in the Byre Brig. The veffel had his Lord(hip's flag flying, and every one was eager to fee the Hero land. He was received on fhore with the mofi enthufiaitic 'demonffrations of joy—the crew of the Karr cheering, bells ringing, colours ,lying, &c. His Lordfhip immediately on his landing went 'to the Hofpital, to vifit the brave fellows under cure there, who were wounded in the battle off Copenhagen--a circumftance which gave infinite joy and fatisfaelion to the crowd, who hailed his return. As his Lordfhip's flag continued flying on the KITE when our letters left Yarmouth, the inhabi. SSW entertain a hope that he means to flay there Alai days : it is probable, however, that the hero of Aboukir and Copenhagen will fpeedily make his appearance in London, Though the French official papers affeBed louse time ago to difcredit the numerous hollile pre peratiots going on in the ports of France, all the accounts from the Continent Carve more and more to confirm the fad, and that fimilar priporatioas an going ft is the ports of Mahal sled grab, and even fome of the Italian. A letter from Ant werp lays, 25,000 men are ready to fail from Brett, and 22,000 flora other ports ; and the Ckf du Ca binet, the demi-official French paper Pays, " great !matures of hoitility are preparing with as much vigour as ability." But what is more to be relied Upon, the accounts picked up by the Channel fleet agree in Rating, that the Breit fleet, conflfting (with the Spani(h (hips) of 26 fail of the line, has tg,cx>o troops on board ; that the feamen had been paid up all their arrears ; and that it was expeded the (hips would watch the firs opportunity of getting out. Such is the fubflance of letters received at Falmouth from fome of the Officers of our fleet, who Rate, that it is believed this force is deftined for Egypt. Minifters are well informed refpeting there pre parations, and in confequence equal adivity pre vails in our own ports, fo that whether Egypt or our awn coaftsbe the enemy's objed,theywill find us prepared.
