I commeree, Which went to thew that the encourage anent given to the one was always to he proportioned' to that of the other.] He did not intend to deny , that there might not be a difference of taxes in the two countries, upon any other fubjett than com merce and navigation. If fuch a dilparity was law ful in regard to Ireland, Scotland might, with equal propriety, claim the fame privilege of exemption, notwithftanding the Articles of Union. by which it was agreed. that all fubjees of the United Kingdom fhould have free intercourfe with the Britifh fettle ments, except where it was exprefsly agreed to the contrary. The principle on which this Bill proceed ed was not new ; for he remembered, that no later than laft year, the fame thing was attempted, with refpee to the Duty of Exports and Imports. It was then laid, that Ireland was exempted from the erten- Sen of that principle, and a Right Hon. Gentleman lot now in his place came to the Houfe for the put-- )ofe of defending that meafure ; but he loon acknow edged that it was improper and unjullifiable ; and :he Chancellor of the Exchequer was convinced of .ts abfurdity ; and all thofe who fupported the prin ciple were thus obliged to give a negative to what they had thus brought forward themfelves. A Right Hon. Gentleman had obferved, that any alteration in the propofed tax would not only be prejudicial to Ireland, but even to his Conßituents; but for his part he could not conceive how the latter could pollibly be affected, fince all (hips from England to Ireland are confidered as mailers, and are exempted from the tax, fo that this Country could not be injured. The only queftion he walled at prefent to have determined was, whether or not the trade of one Country can have inch a tax impofed upon it as to prove in any refped injurious to the other? and he begged, there fore, to fubmit to the Houfe the following Refoluion : " That there (boatel be sa inftrudlion given to the Committee on the prefent Bill, to extend the Tonnage Duty on the Importa tion of any Article of Commerce brought into the Ports of Great Britain, orally to Ireland,accordhl to the 6th Article of the Union." The SPEAKER obferved, that filch a motion as the one which the Hon. Member had juft now made could riot be accepted of in the prefent Rage of the bufinefs, as the eurpofe of it went to impofe a duty which does not now exift, and which could only be done by the Committee upon the Bill previous to the Committee of the whole Houfe. General Gascorti a was Rill inclined to think that his motion ought to be received, even in the prefen► Rage of the Bill. He could not, betides, underftand upon what principle the framers of the Bill had pro ceeded, when they propofed to lay a duty of only 6s. a ton on importation into the port of London, while they made the duty into the comports amount to up. wards of ten times as much, being no lets than 31. r as. He thought that fuch a Rep would be pettedly im politic, and a complete innovation. The CH•IiCtLI.OR of the EICNIVIR raid, that he - perceived the Hon. Gentleman was extremely defiroub to bring forward Ifs motion, while the Speaker was kill in the Chair, tv,it he begged leave to inform him, that fuch an inftration never was propofed on any former oecafion. It wa, no lets than an inertation to a Committee, not to perfift in that which the Houfe bad formerly adopted, although the Bill had now reached to the prcfent Rage, and was about to go into a Committees of the whole Houfe. Whenever the quetiion comes to be put with regard to the amount of the duty on the whole importation, then it would be open to the Hon. Gentleman to propofe that there Ibould be an alteration in the duty about to be impofed on wine imported into London, and that imported into any of the out-ports. The Houfe then refolved itfelf into a Committee bf the whole Houfe, when the Bill was shitinaly can •eited, paragraph by paragraph, and the Chairman (Mr. Alexander) reported progrefs. The report was Ordered to be received to-monew morning. Tit• C AAAAA Lunt of the Excnagyaa gave notice, that he tumid to-morrow nave for a Committee of the whole Houk, for The porpofe of impaling an additional Duty an foreign Poreclain Reported Into this country• It was, he Laid, in centansplatlon to tolfe the Duty on that ardele to fuck an amours, as to prove as !flaws' direouragesseet to its importadon, has to moorage our brine manufsetnie.

We now prefent them with a more ample detail : About noon, yefterday, the different Gentlemen concerned in Lifts for the bidding, had a meeting with the Minifter at his houfe in Downing-flreet, which was alfo attended by the Governor and Deputy Governor of the Bank, and Mr. VANSITTART. Mr. ADDINGTON Rated, that the turn be thould want would be Twelve Millions, viz. nine millions for England, and three for Ireland. He was in hopes, he Paid, that he fhould have been able to have done with lets, and flattered himfelf that, next year, that would be the cafe; but, in the prefent inftance, the taxes he meant to propefe could not be collated in time to anfwer the exigencies of the Rate. He, at. the fame time, thought it proper to Rate, that it was his intention to propofe to Parliament to raife a very large Turn within the year by ftrong taxes; and, he trufted, every Gentleman prefent would think it ad vifablc fo to do. It was alto proper for him to Rate what were his intentions refpating Exchequer Bills. There were, he Paid, five millions voted in the fpring of laft year,4,ozo,ooo about,Chriftmas, and 5,000,000 ct is fpring; bat they had not all been iffued. His in -1 . tentson was to pay off the firft five millions, to let the other Rand over, to ia'ue five millions more, to take l a vote of credit for 2,500,0001. and, in cafe the Bank thould not think it right to continue the r,500,0001. which they held, he fhould in that cafe be obliged, perhaps, to iffue 1,500,0001. in lieu of them, which would, in other words, be borrowing nine millions on Exchequer Bills, and paying off ten millions. He propofed to raife his Loan of twelve millions, if agreeable, by giving for every tool.-701. Confols, 701. Reduced ; and to take the Bidding on the leaft fum in Deferred Stock, and to allow 5 per Cent. for prompt payment. An objeltion was fluted to Deferred Stock making a part, as it was already a heavy and uafaleable Stock in the market. Mr. ADDINOTON then, with the confent of all par ties, agreed that the Loan (hould be raifed in the fol lowing manner: For every tool. fubfcribed, the Sub fcriber to have os. od. Coarse, Sol. os. od. Redeced, And thole who would take the leak fum of Long Annuity to be the purchafer. The Intereit of the Confols to commence from sth of July, 1803, and that of the Reduced and Annuities from the sth of April, t 803 ; 5 per Cent. for prompt payment, which, from the t 7th of June (the day of the fira deport) to the a3d of December, the day of the laft payment) makes 21. 6s. 7d. per cent. being 187 days.

L. 1 mo,ooo The Minifier raid, the Taxes would be heavy. and that he should mire them within the year, chiefly on E xcife and Caftans; on Landed Property', teal and Perfonal Property, and Income arifing from whatever fource ; but that from labour not to pay equal to that arifing from property. He was a&rd, whether the Funded Property was to be taxed? He replied, Certainly; and that it was propofed to be is. in the pound on all the Dividends; but the Stockholder might either have it flopped out of his Dividend Warrant, or go before Commercial Commiffioners, and there declare his property. and pay the Tax altogether. On Land, he raid, it was his intention that the owner mould pay is. in the pound, if lett ; and the occupier in England to pay gd. and in Scotland only 6d. in the pound ; as the lands were lett in Scotland at a higher rate, and were not fo produaive as thofe in England. He produced the Journals of the Hook of Commons, to thew that in 5705, and for feveral years, a (under mode of taxation was adopted. The Governor and Deputy Governer of the Bank were Aced, Whether the Bank would take in the Om. alum, the fame as 411 year ? They anlwered, it had not been cuflomary for the Bank to commit itfelf on fuch cccafions. All they could fay was, that the ba liners had not yet ever been mentioned within the Bank ; but Would there appear any difpofition not to grant the indulgence, they Would deem it their duty to give the earlielt notice poffible. A great deal of converfation followed, at the COG clufion of which the Minifier deGred the Gentlemen to come on Monday at ten o'clock precifely, to bid for t h e Lean, informing them at the fame time, that no lift delivered in after that time would be attended to.

A dire& tax on any particular article, is one which does net at tach on another. A five per cent. tax on Income, in general, is one of a very different nature. It is in , faft Mr. Prrx's Income Tax, reduced to one half. Jua as this Paper was going to Prefs, we received French Journals of the Bth. A letter from Conitanti nople, in the Gazette de France Rates, that Gen.

A letter from Bruffels, dated tha sth, Pays—" Ac cording to different letters arrived here from Holland, the greater part of the French army is concentrated in the county of Bentheim, and an engagement was every moment expetted, as the French troops were in fight of the Hanoverian Army colleaed on the frontiers of Ofnaburgh, where they were bufily em ployed in throwing up entrenchment , .
