The SPEAKER obferved, that in cafe: of nntice it was not the cullonof the Houle to hear arguments —upon which the Hon. Member abided by hi. notice on the eonfideration of the Report. On the qtieftion being put for leading the Report, Mr. FRANCIS gave notice, that he fhould on Monday, when this report was to be taken into con fideration, have man) general obfervations to make. and Game objections to offer. Mr. HUSKISSON gave notice, that on Monday he fbould have fume obfervations to make on the fub jed of certain balances, alluded to in the opening of the Budget on Friday; as well as the non prodation of Tome document. which had been fome time order ed on that Cubic& Mr. VANSITTART faid, there had been greater difficulty in making tbetn up, than any body had previoufly an idea of. The firft and fecond refolutions of the Budget, which related to the Loan, were then read a firft and fecond time, and agreed to ; and Bills ordered to be brought in purfuant to them. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEUER then moved, that the further confideration of this report be deferred to Monday next. The SPEAKER obferved, that the regular corn& was to read the Refolutions and put the queftion of poftponement on each. Mr. BABBINGTON obferved, that feveral eV enhies occurred to him on the fubjeft of the Property Tat e particularly on the exemption. to it. operation. Such as related to (mall tradefmen : how were they to be provided for? Suppofing others to have w mixed income, partly from trade or bufinefs, and partly from an annuity. Others again having a life sittereft inland, they could not with any propriety of language be called any thing but annuitants. How was the cafe to be on annuitants of a military dal's, and the clergy ? Thefe matters appealed to him to require a great deal of confideration before they could be properly digefted. Mr. GEORGE ROSE fuggefled the propriety of deferring this dircuffiou until the further confideratton of the Report. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQIJER unlettered in that propriety, but thought it right at arm to fay that as to the military and clergy, the (mall annuity exemption ought to be extended to them. The other Refolutions were then deferred until Moodily. • wliss. Mr. GEORGE ROSE moved, that there be laid before the Houfe an account of the quantity of Wines imported and exported, from the year t 790 to iflos inclufively, diainguiflong French from not French, &c. and the amount of duties paid on each, kc.

After flopping a very Ikon time for refrefhment at the Three Kings, in Deal, they proceeded to London. They mutt have reached town on Friday night ; but as the fame fccrecy which marked the laft communication from M. Tat.t.tv. BAUD continues to be obferved, nothing relative to the fubftance of the difpatches, or objett of their mil: Son, has tranfpired. They have, in all probability, been charged with an anfwer to the letter fent by Mr. Secretary Fox to the French Miniller for Foreign Affairs on the night of Friday fe'nnight. Since our laa we have received Paris papers to the 23d, and Dutch to the 29th inft. The report of the Dutch Government having de clared itfelf Bankrupt is unfounded.—Tmmorrow, we believe, will decide the fate of Holland. Their High Mightineffes have been convoked for that day, when it is probable the intended change in the Go vernment will be announced to them. We (hall fee whether any one of them will have energy enough to protell againft the political extinetion of his country. A letter from Naples of the 28th February, in the Batavian State Gazette, flates, that both the Cala• brigs have fuhmitted to the French, having been pre rioufly evacuated by the Neapolitan troops. The re port of the Englifh and Ruffian troops having landed in Calabria, to affill the Hereditary Prince and his army, was. as we rape/led, probably unfounded. Reports prevail on the Continent, that Swedifh Pomerania is to be ercupied by Pruffia, and that, in cafe of a refufal of his Pruffian Maissrr, a French corps will take pc:lll4Eon of it. We have no doubt, that come prlporal to this eLreah2s been made to the Court of Betlin. Will it be acceded to? Will Pruffia hazard a war with ? Private letters by the laa mail dam.: Gim• light on this bufinefs. A demand is Rated to have been made at the. inßance of Martha' Barnette, that the Au titian Cabinet (ball permit French troops to march through Bohemia. The purpofe of demanding that pert:l;lEon is fuppofed to be to attack the Ruffians ifferubled in Poland. The Court of Vienna was a Fgood deal embarraffel by the demand. General STUTTEIIIIII4 was fent to Martha 821111111 if pof. fible to elude the propofil, for it is raid that the Court of Vienna is afraid to give a direet refufal.— The refult of the negociation is not yet known. It is Paid M. de Nom Lt.ss infilled that, in the prefent cir currillances, the Court of Vienna fliould not keep on foot more than 100,000 men. But if we credit the flatements in the French Papers, the different powers interefled in the iffue of there arrangements mull have come to forne general underflanding. The Mon:ttur of the 23d Rates, that the French Army is to be reduced to the Peace Efts blifhment on the ft) day of .efitri/, (fame fools may credit this), and that before the end of the enfuing month, all the troops, which are now defolating and devouring Germany, will have paned the Rhine. This information may have fometbing confoling in it for the countries immediately affected by the pre fence of the French armies, but we are not faaguine enough to draw any pacific omens from it, as far as refpeas ourfelves. It may be doubted whether this peace eftablifhment will diminifb the grofs num ber of BONAPARTI'II army by a tingle demi brigade. ft will be found, we believe, to amount to no more than this, that the National Guards have been dif. handed, and that the depots which had been efla blithed for receiving and training the extraordinary levies, have been broken up.

Bo AAAAA vs is to have the Government of Piedmont, Switzerland, the Gaon Country, and part of Southern TyroL There was a report yenerday, that difpatches had been received from the Cape, rather of an unfavoura ble nature, bot there was no foundation for it, nnr for the Mary of a French fquadron being captured there. ft is Rated that acorrefpondence between the Rajah of Bhurtpore and the Rajah of Jehangur has been intercepted, by which the former, while profeffing friendthip and attachment to the Company, was ex citing and organizing renewed hoftility again(! them. The Senate of Bremen has prohibited the exporta tion of grain from that city. The greaten part of theßritith magazines formed at Bremen, has been purchafed for the ufe of the French troops, by M. Calmness''. . _ We have received a copy of an addrefs to the Dutch Government, which has been circulated as a hand bill through Holland, though none would have cou rage to prefent it openly. It is on the fubjeft of peace. ' The Addrefs begins by Rating, " That the intelli gence, if not of the aflual preparations for a renewal of the war between our neighbours, two of the moll powerful nations in this quarter of the globe, and confeqnently the fear that the community at large may fuffer from fuch a new war, are confiderations which compel the underfigned to approach the Ad minifiration with the prefent Addrefs." They then Rate, that the ruin of their trade, &c. and their an• nihilation as a Continental Power, will be the conic quences of a renewal of warlike operations, and con clude with moft fervent fupplicatrons to remove the calamities of war, and to reftore the bleffings of peace to their dillra4led country. _ . _ On Monday night lan, the 24th inflant, a hilt feared was made by the Magillracy of Hamburgh, affitled by the French Minhler and all the French inhabitants, throughout the whole of that city and its environs. Every hotel, inn, and public hinge, were infpeeled with the moll pointed (many. At an inn of the fecond fort a French Officer was feized, whore appearance accorded ftrinly with the de fcription in the hands of the Police. On his being arretled he immediately exclaimed, " take me, and do with me what you pleafe ; I have deferved to (offer more than you can infli.ft for my aukwardneft." He then confeffed that he had twice fired at B on the evening fucceeding the battle of Aufterlitz, but unfortunately miffed him. On the affair taking wind he had defected, and had got to Hamburgh, whence he intended to have failed for England. He was immediately fent off by the quicken conveyance to Paris ' where his inevitable fate awaits him.—A moil refpe &able native of France, who came over in the laR Hamburgh Mail, was very neatly Ropped at the fame time, under fufpicion of being implicated in this affair, but had the good fortune to be fuffered to proceed on his voyage. The fame evening Altona experienced a limner diligence of (catch, as it was fuppofed the party might have craned the river. No circumftance is more Rrange throughout the , whole of this extraordinary affair, than the profound ohliafiun it has been buried in for fuch a length of time. It (hews, however, how melt the channels of communication throughout the Continent are go verced by 130NAPARTIC ; and we have little doubt, , but the fate of this unfortunate perfon will be equally myfterious. Certain we are, that the Farina's, will hear the &if of the tratst:saion from our paper. Ot the troth of the above tiatiment, we have not the flighteft doubt, And we pledge ourfelves to our Rea• i den fur its authenticity.
