He was induced to elk if this information was corral, becaufe it would he fatisfaeory to the country to know that peace was at length concluded with Scindiah, and from a fenfe• of juflice to his Majelly's Minillers: for the Houk would recollett, that tt had been told from the higheß authority, that one of the fit II efts of his Majelly's Minillers had been to recommend to his Moiety to approve of the nomination of Sir George Barlow to be Governor General ; and if this Gentleman, in the fhort period of two months, had achieved fo inn. portant an objee„ his Majefly's Minillers were ea. titled to credit with the count, y, for the jun direr'. mination of charafler they had ezercifed, when Sir G.

Mr. CREEVEY faid, there certainly was an over. land difpatch received lately from Bombay, which mentioned the ditlreffes to which Holkar was re duced, and fomething like a peace with India ; but there was no pofitive ilatement of a 'gamy. LORD ST. •ItiCIINT. Mr. SeeretaryWlNDHAM hoped the Honourable Gentleman oppofite to him (Mr. Jeffery) would not °Nee, on the ground of the inconvenience of rfoll poning motions, to delay a. little longer his motion • refpeting the Noble Lord. ,Net only bit motion, but the order for thc third reading of the Bill for Repealing the Additional Force AS, flood for to morrow. If he could poßpone his motion on that account, it would be a perfondt favour to him. Mr. JEFFERY faid, he fhould certainly rather poßpone his motion for another day, than that it fbould throw any impediment in the way of a mea fore which he ctonceisled of fuch great tnsportance, se this Bill. He fhould therefore content that his motion fbould Rand for Wednefday. When the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHE QUER expreffed a .with that the nature of the charge might be Bated, Mr. JEFFERY replied, that his • chants was generally for mikondue, negke, and 'I miftwanageenent of the Navy, while .his Lordihipl prefided at the Admiralty. •, • • sr tssacti reonl i RING. . The CHANCELLOR, Of the EXCHEQUER, brought down a Meffage frobehls Majelly, wtioh was to the following effect : • • • " That his MIQYty, hewing taken trObx tab Ittifil Coolideration the eminent and ►rchies perfortired by the her Len!

PROPERTY TARR. ' On the queßion being put for the Speaker's leaving the Chair, Mr. FRANCIS raid, that he had a Rrong (Nation againa the bill in principle, which he did not think ' could be removed in the Committee. He did not with that it &fluid be fuppofed of him, that be held diffe rent opinions, according to the differeatfide of tie ' Houfe he fat 00. It he oppofed the earbefore, his ' objeflions were now much Ranyithened, by the pews , lam of the tax being inereafed. Although this' tax ' was called a Property Tax, it was, to all intents and purpofes, an Income • Tax. The Chancellor of the Exchequer had already found confiderable difficulty ' in carrying the flrtl"fif his tax bills, and he apple. heeded he would feel Rill more in carrying Mg pre. fent bill, at leaß without great modifications. We had now got to the life blond of taxation, And the more taxes were laid, the lefs was got. He confider ed that, by great ravings in the expenditure, and a rigorous collation of •the public revenue, more mo. ney would be gained than by tiling new taxes. In many branches of the collation of the revenue, there were great frauds, which might he correlted by a vigilant government. He alluded principally to the Cufloms, Drawbacks, and Stamp Duties, It was an old proverb in polities, that " of all (forces of re venue, parfimony is the bell." He thought that this was a maxim which the prefer,' Gcvernment ought not to tole fight of. The CHANCELLOR. of the EXCHEQUER Paid, that on the principles of the Hon. Gentleman himfelf, who condemned fo much the fyliens of loans, it was neceffary to impofe confiderable taxes in order to diminifh the amount of the loans. Mr. WILLIAM SMITH agreed with the Hon. Gentleman on the bench below (Mr. Francis) in molt of his obiervations, nor was it neceffary for him to add a word to what he had before laid on this tax. But he rather differed from the Honourable Gentleman as to the rigor',/,' «illation of the taxes. —An impartial collation ought undoubtedly in- be made, but the for-liter he mode, as well as in re, would render the taxes ten times more opprtflive than at prefent. He believed, however, that the Honoura• ble Gentleman meant the fame thing by. the word rigour, which he did by the word impartial. Mr. FRANCIS agreed that what he meant was an sand collation. 13y rigour he did Lot mean cruelty. Mr. FULLER wifhed, that if this Tax wag called ' an Income Tax, it Ihould be really one, and that they Should not tax Country Gentlemen for what really formed no part of their incomes. . Mr. TY RWHTT JONES ma a few words ageing the pripaiple of the Bill, but fhoold not oppofe its going intoal, Committee. The Houfe then refolved itfelf into a Committee on the Bill. • Sir ROBERT BUXTON objetted to the firft Claufe. He Paid he never could perceive the reafon why farmers were to be taxed in a different manner from the other claffes of the community. Whether the Tax were upon property or income, he thought their profits (hould be ellimated in the fame way as other traders. Mr. VANSITTART raid, the reafon of the diffe rence was, that, from the great number of farmers, and the imperfea manner moll of them leept their accounts, it would be di ffi cult, if not impoffible, to judge oetheir profits, but by an average. The ave• rage was not taken high, when it reckoned for profits only a Sum equal to three-fourths of the rent paid.— There were few farmers indeed who cleared fo little. Mr. HOLT LEIGH contended, that, in a year when the farmer might have met cafualties, or made no profits, it was unfair that he Ibould be rated on an average. Mr. VANSITTART replied, that a produCtive year would compenfate for that lots, and that, when the avenge was low, it was a fair mode of compu tation. Mr. FULLER writhed to know, why the Englifb farmer ihnuld pay is. 6d. in the pound on his rent, while the Scots farmer paid but a IbiUing Mr. VANSITTART anfwered, that the rearm was, that the rent of the Scotch farmer was higher, as he was not burthened with tythes, or poor-rates, and, therefore, it would not be fair ter take the -fame proportion of thole different restio n the meant to by pasd to the tax.* After a (bort converfati on, the Clank was agreed to. A very long cooverfation then took place on vari ous diodes of the Bill, of little general interell. Mr. SPENCER STANHOPE objeled to the clank requiringsperfons to give to the Affeffors a lilt of all fuel' as were employed by them whether refs. dent in their families.or not, who might be liable to the tax. Mr. ROBSON took the opportunity of the dant. fion on this elude, to exprefs his difapprobation of the kale on which the tax was formed, and thought it.very hard that a man having only tool. a year, with perhaps a wife and five children, &told be al lowed no exemption. He was proceeding farther into a view of the general merits of the Bill, when be was called to order. It was than agreed that the chafe thould be re-tonfidered. Mr. TYRWHIT JONES gave notice, that be meant to propofe a claufe impofing a penalty on AI: feffiirs making vexatious furcharges. Sir R. BUXTON propofed a clank, granting to landlords a dednelion of 8 per cent. from the tax on income derived from houfes, and of 5 per cost. from. it as affeaing income derived from lands, on account of the repairs and improvements that were from time to time necerary. The chafe was-Supported by Mr. Stanhope, Mr. Ballard, and Mr. Wilberforce ; and refilled by the Chancellor of the Excliequer and Mr. Giles, on * ground of the. entherraffment it would give to the operation of the tax, compared with the trifling ad vantage which the landed intereli would derive from it. The dircuffion upon the clan& was carried to it. I confiderable length, when the Committee divided, and the numbers for the original claufe and ageing the amendment were—Ayes, 129,-.Noes, 5 t —Ma. jority, 78. The next fubjea which excited interefling difkog Goo was, the chafe which goes to fubjea to the tats the profits arising from the public funds. In this part of the bill an amending chute was propofed by Mr. FRANCIS, who, agreeable to Mil former intimation, propofed that the profits saki from the inn re* upon Exchequer Bills; and any other fpecies of fleeting public debt. Should be fob. jelled to the tax, and liable to the fame Rapp:wet CM the payment of thole bills, or the interefi thereon at the Bank, as upon any other Species of Government ieedrities. Mr. Francis Supported his proPofition by Many clear and forcible arguments, to thew that ON porry of that fpccies was as fair and as neceffary a. iisieitt of taxation as any Species of feuded property weld be. "cite CHANCELLOR of the F•XCHEQIdEII; afte;.fully admitting the fairnefs of the principle s MIL feired, that the State derived the propofed ;advantage in another mode,_ though not in the precife for ts fuggefled by the Firmourable Gentleman: for a . great part pf the property in Exchequer Bills being the hands of the Direaors of the Bank of England, and of peiyate bankers and reputable merchants who, it was to be prefumed, would make an bon ell and corset return of their aggregate profits in the year, would, of courfe, return the intereft on thole bills as a part of their income. The tax would operate this way in a manner lefs vexatious, than in the ordinary mode of deducing from the interells upon the bills, as paid off. It was, however, argued in reply, by Mr. FRAN CIS, Mr. W. SMITH, and fame other Members, that the more regular way, and the bell feeurity againft evafion, would be the mode adopted in the cafe of all other funds ; and, that while no difadvan. tage whatever could arife to the fair holder of float. ing funds from the propofed arrangement, the Noble Lord and the Houfe were bound to take the bet fr entity in their power on behalf of the public, for the regular payment of the tax, and for the prevention of all attempts to evade it. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER thought the arguments of thole Honourable Mem bers entitled to every degree of refpea and deference, and iegnelled to have time for further confederation, not doubting that he &mild be induced to adopt them. The fubjea was therefore postponed to a fu ture flap of the Bill. The next claule which excited arduous difeuffion was that for exempting from the tax the property of foreigners in the Funds. This produced a debate of much length and intereft. Againft the exemption, it was argued, that Fo reigners had purchated in our l'und,, in preference to iliac of any other nation in Europe, becaufe of the Superior Security, and the inviolable faith which the Britilh Government had always kept with the • The proper anrwer to tbs. g ueition is, That by the Articles of the Union between the two Kingdom. the Land Tattoo( Scotland ars always to be reftrieltd ene.thiriled, than thole al England. public creditor : but that as thofe foreigners, in Or to the amount of their property thok fonds, participated in the fame protedion with Brt tilh (objets, it was but Oft and fair they .thould, in the fame proportion, participate with Britt& ftrinsiets in the expences indilpenfably need:try to maintain that fecurity ; that, in tbi; refped, they had not a right, nor any rational ground to exped they Mould Hasid on better amies r i the ery c d tnhceei r ground than the fo h je tts of Great Britain, who were not only p utted to th e very in a cme of taxation, to (Impart fleets a nd 't pro perty of foreigners was veiled in o u r funds, t was of nw pr a e l) e r r i f; s T E h n a g t 4 f n o d far a r i)r to a l t s the ett nprtfooo - not borrowed by loans made in Atritrta.

Gentile concern in England, or from paying their • quota of the convoy ditties for the protedien of their goods at lea by a Britik force; and that nearly thir teen millions of property, now exempted in this way, was an advantage of toomneh importance to be rain quillied in the prefent exigencies of the country. :hole arguments were fuftained by Mr. Femme, Mr. the property of foreignainawegid bs a SMITH , c ontende d, Alder on P ihe ot h er Printer , RRR band, an d Mr. r. thatß a o tax e e t as. is It was molt grecs and outrageous violation of national faith, and taxing foreigners not reprefineted in a Britt Parliament, nor fubjea in any way to Britifb laws, whocensinly would never have lent their money to this country under an idea that it was to contribute by taxes for carrying on war agaiali themfelves, and that the Tax meant to be impofed was not a tax upon Funds, but upon B . itilk (and not foreign) pro perty veiled in thee Fonds. This pan of die argu ment was fonaiced by Mr. Fox, the Citancactoa of the Excnsupsa, and Mr. VANSITTART, and the ori ginal claufe palled without a divifion. At One o'clock this morning the Chairman re ported progrefs, and obtained leave to fit again to- morrow.
