According to reports from Rataeburg, the Pee den troops received orders on the tath and trth tops& the Elbe near Htck• acker and Artlmbue, a• it was laid, to tnite poffefGon of Lauen burgh. Upon the fiat infortnation of thi. kind, Count Lowen hielm, according to orders previuully received from his Majelty, tranfmitted the foUowing letter to the Ps atrun Commandant at Lunenburg." [This Letter was publithed in the Sias of Tnefday, April an.) Some time previous to this, the Swediat Comeandant had caufed the Pruden proclamation relative to the poiTerton of Ha nover, to be Lin hack from Lauenburg to the Prullian Comman dant, who had tufa it to he tranfmittcd no that fide of the Elite. On the 14th two Protium buffer. were lent over the Elbe near Artie:Mori, to enquire whether they could have quarters there, when they were informed by the Swedifh Comma:Amt. that fo long as his troops were in that country, no foreign Soldiers could be admitted, upon which they returned Immediately to the other Gde, declaring that they were dared to receive the conununica tlons of the Swedifit officers with refped. s. Meanwhile the Prufßan prams at Lunenburg was ordered to march;—their ammunition WAS given out to them, and a guard was placed over the boats upon the Elbe. Every thing Seemed to indicate that the occupation of Lauenburg, fo long threatened, would be put Into execution, when information was received that General Winning, at Lunenburg, had received counter-orders on Noe tith, and that the cartridges, &c. delivered uut had been Ma turned._ _ _ _ A Pruffian Quarter-mater had on this occafion written to a Hanoverian officer, M. During, thetas Pruffian troops were upon the point of entering Lauenburg, he requetted his affiftance in planting the route for their march ; upon which that officer an (wend, that he never could have imagined that be Wahl be called upon to regolate the route for the enemies of his Sovereign ; thin filch ah adt of berme(' on his part would be unpardassable • and that the pretence of the Swedlth troops was with him a itninger motive for fulfilling his duty as a faithful fubjedt. On the inch, his Msjelly received a report from Count Low , enhielm, Rating, that the route for the Pruffian troops was laid before the Mecklenburg Counoiffion, according to which Colonel Beeren's Pruffian regiment of Coiraffsers, and M. Tiliamener's fanny, were to commence their march on the preceding day, to enter Mecklenburg, and pale through the Hanoverian Bailiwick, in order to proceed that way to Lauenburg. Pt. Boitzusberg they were to halt on the sad, and that day was find %IFNI , for taking polleffion of the Hanoverian provinces on this fide of the Elise. As I i had further Intelligence, that a Pniffian Lieutenant had (hewn bitufelf to the Swedith advanced pats upon the Mecklenburg ter ritory, laying, he bad letters from the Pruffian Commandant to Count Lowenbielm, I ordered hire to be eoniludted by a Swedltb OS= to Ramberg, where be delivered the following I take the liberty to inform your Honour, that I am charged bp his Majelty, my Sovereign, the King of Profile, to enter the dillrietsof Lasenburgh and Itatzeburg with a body of troops.

The Slave Importation Prevention Bin was reported, and or , deredto be read a third time on Tueday uaat.

The Houle, in a Committee, on the motion of the SECRE TARY at WAR, voted the Supplies of the army, on the fame feak as for the laR year, for one month longer, ending the oath of June neat. Mr. HOTHOUSE brought up the Report of the Committee, on the Additional Force Repeal Bill.--Amendmenap read, and agreed to. Mr. BANKES gave notice, that he lhould deliver his fentiments at large upon the Bill in its next Rage, and moves' that it be printed.—Ordered, and that the Bill be engroffed, and read the third time on Tocklay. MALT DUTISt. Mr. BAKER moved that ail the petitions that had been pre- fenced this ((Mon from the Maidters in every part of the kingdom refpcdting the roan ufaCture of Malt, be referred to a Committee to confider the fame, and report their opinions thereon to the Houle. Ordered. oir JOHN NEWPORT prefented the frith Loan Annuity Bill, and the latTreafury Bills Bill, which were read the first time, and ordered for the fecond reading on Monday next. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEVER prtfented his Bill for regulating the office of Receiver General of Stamp Duties in Gnat Britain. Read the first, and ordered to be read the fecond time on Monday. Lord TEMPLE gave notice of his intention to move cn Mon day fora Committee to confider the propriety of tonic Regulations relpeCting the Importation of Thread Lacc. MON DUTY. The CHANCELLOR. of the EXCHEQUER moved the Order of the Day tor the Houfe refolving itfelf into a Committee on the Iron Duty Bill. Mr. CURWEN obferved, that the taxes were al ready fo heavy that nothing but the good fenfe of the people could enable them to bear them. But be had no doubt that this good fenfe would always teach them to bear whatever taxes were neceffary, and this was not a time to murmur at the additional burthens laid upon them in this way. With there feelings he would not have oppofed the prefent meafure, had it not been that it was fo objeaionable in every way, that he hoped the Miniffers would abandon it, and fabllitute a better in its (lead. It had always been the policy of the country to abllain as much as potli ble from taxing the three great and flaple articles of Iron, Coal, and Wood. Iron might certainly be of timated one of our flaple commodities, although the manufaflure of it was, in fame meafure, as yet in its infancy. This tax would bear heavily on all thole employments where iron was neceffarily and in many cafes it would be impoffible to ufe it any longer. Iron was applicable to roads, to manufac. tures of various forts, to mining, and a lhoufat, ether purpofes. The prefent tax, however, if cat ried into effra, would often amount almoll to a pro hibition. This tax was put equally on all forts of iron. Soppofe that an equal tax fhotild he put on wood of all forts, could that be endured ? But it might be laid that tome abatement would be al lowed ; but it was impoffible that any could be given which would render (Ilk tax at all proper to be ad mitted. One million of chaidrons of coals were im ported to London annually. Suppofe the tax fhould raise the price one (hitting in the chaldron, the fern would be sopool. which was the fixth part of what the Noble Lord calculated would be the produce of his tax. Iron was n•w ufed in many things where timber had been ufed before, and this tax, by railing the price of iron, would diminifh its ufe, and thus raite the price of wood. The manufafture of iron paired through four or five different hands, by all of who,' additional capital and additional labour would he re quired. The troughs of canals were made of this article in fosse inttances, bat its ufe here and ii' other things would be Rept. Iron had not increafed in price like other articles, owing to the increafed ac tivity of the perfons who were engaged in the ma nufaaure of it, but this tax would deliroy the leffer manufaaories, and throw a monopoly of the buff nefs into the hands of a few individuals. He was aware of the difficulty of finding taxes at prefent.— But the prefent would offal the hufbandry of the country too, to a very great extent. It was fup poled that it would be equal to twelve (billings on every horfe. Iron might be applied to rollers, and, betides this, nails for hurdles, and a variety of other articles were to be taken into account. Nuw, admit ting that the tax would produce the Cum calculated upon, which was 3soocaol. a tax of five (billings on every farm horfe, lupporing the number to be a mil lion. would amount to 250,0001. There were fup poled to be in the country about two hundred thou fend pleafure hot fes—a tax of cos. each on them would produce the remaining roo,oool. and thus the whole tax would be produced, with Ids oppreffion to one defcription of people, than they would fuffzr from, its operation in its prefent Rate, leaving out the nu merous other chafes, upon which it mull bear fo hea vily. This tax was direa, but it was the more eafily colleaed; and the pnblic would have the full benefit of it. At all events this Ilatement, he apprehended, was conchifive againff the prefent tax, and he was convinced that the great mind of the Right Honour able Secretary below (Mr. Fox), which he had been fo much accultomed to admire, would yield at once, if he was once fenfible that he was in error. Goo for- bid that any one Ihould in this cafe wins for a vie ory over hfiniflers. But the prefent tax affe&ed our commerce, our manufactures, and our agriculture, to fuch an event, and in to many various ways—it would bear fo hard on a vat number of Ivor people to whom iron was neceffary, as forming the tools in their feveral trades, that he could not give his Went to it, and therefore oppofed the Speaker's leaving the Chair. Mr. STEWART WORTLEY, when he eonfi dered the various ways in which this tax would rifled iron, from the raw material, to the date in which it was fent from Birmingham for exportation, thought that it would deflroy many of our manufactures altogether. Foreigners would then be completely able to meet us in the market. The drawback would relieve one clars of perfons, and the tax on foreign iron would fecure the home market. But, mat, in the manufacture of Come articles, foreign iron was neceffary, and this was only adding to the difficulty. Was this a time to add to the difficulties of our fitu ation, or to injure our manuradures This manu radare had not as yet filen to very great prorperity, and this would very materially, indeed, check its hrogrefs. The obj e dion to the tax on farm horr es ad been, that it gave the grafs farmer an advantage over the arable, but this objedion applied more par titularly to the prefent tax. If the illuttrious prede ceffor of the Noble Lord, uprin i lt view of there diffi• culties, abandoned the tax, he hoped that the Noble Lord would not per fi ft in it. Mr. MORDAUNT thought that the tax would fluke deeply at the root of many of our manufac tures. It would fetter them, and cramp the fpirit of the Country. He felt himfelf particularly called ,upon to (Ned to it, as it affelted the merchants and manufadurers fituated in the place which he re prefented. To deprive them of employment would be in the hittheit degree prejudicial to the country in general.
