1 Chamber of4Natial, *a the farther discussion of the Budget. KLArrrra adverted to the strict of the Land Tax, and denied that the plan presented by i t Ministers for alleviating it deserved the name of re lief: the expenditure, instead : of being diminished, was .augmented. Instead of two millions, to which amOugt it was pretended the nation bad been relieved, it had experienced a considerable increase, and the expenses of the State exceeded its resources by the sum of 15 millions. The Honourable Member in veighed strongly against some of the corrupting im posts resorted to, such as Lotteries, Taxes on Gaming- Louses, &c. To protect Agriculture and Commerce, was, in his opinion, the only means of increasing the public revenue, and diminishing the public distress. In the absence of liberty, and in the arbitrary laws which had been resorted to, he saw not only national degradation, but national ruin. The alleviation of the Land-tax he looked upon merely as a boon for the double vote of the great proprietors, and directed against the small proprietors. Hince it happens that both are now recommencing the struggle which the Revolution had closed. But, added the Honourable Member, France cannot believe that the cradle of her fortune is placed beside the grave of her liberties.— She cannot forget that agriculture owes its progress to the Revolution—industry its greatest success to the Imperial Government—and public credit its existence to the Restoration. 11. LAFITTE was answered by the Minister of Ft. nance, who said, that in replying to him, he would not appeal to the passions which he had excited. The Minister then denied that any Voce was intended to the great proprietor's. LAFITTE replied.—Some expressions which escaped him produced a scene of personalities similar to what has been too frequently witnessed in the Chamber since the commencement of the present Session. In contending that the alleviation of the land-tax was intended for no other object but to di minish the number of electors, and to deprive the people of their constitutional rights, " of those rights Which the Charter had given"— General DONADIEU interrupted him.—" Say, the King has given." General Fox.—" The King is comprised in the Charter. What the Charter says, the King says." General DONADIEU (striking his hand on the bench before him)—The King and the Charter! Genes al Fox—France and the King I M. de MaratNitc--- , You throw off the mask. General Fox—We are a Chamber de facto, and not de jure. PRESIDENT—ID the midst of these interruptions the speaker cannot be heard. M. Pray— We cannot restrain our indignation. M. de Cuncett-es—Do restrain your indignation ; M. Piet, you may answer M. Lafitte. N.DELALOT, in alluding to the return of Bonaparte, stated the debt which that treason had imposed. Many voices—That debt was created by those who brought foreigners amongst us. N. DELALOT—Who brought them ? Voices on the left—The emigrants. M. DELALOT—No ! they followed the stets of the Usurper, whose praise is unceasingly sounded in this Chamber. A stormy debate then ensued amidst the utmost tumult, and the sitting terminated. The following are extracts : EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM PARIS, DATED APRIL 15. " Mr. BURDETT, a relation of Sir FRANCIS BUR- Err; and who has not been in France before for four years, has just been arrested, on his arrival in Paris, by the Police, on suspicion of having trea sonable papers in his possession." PARIS, APRIL 16. It is affirmed that Mr. Forster, the British Minister at Coienhagen, whose speedy departure we have al ready announced, is charged with an important mis-1 sion,which it should seem would be followed by-great , innovations in the English policy. The mission of M. de Tatischeff, at Vienna, should appear to have had an equally decisive effect on the policy of the Austrian Cabinet. These divers circumstances seem to announce the speedy end of all the diplomatic un certainties which have agitated Europe for this year past. The Journal of St. Sebastian states the arrival of General Berton on the frontiers ; he had not entered the town, but five of his Officers had landed on the coast, and entered the city, where they had been well received. To-day, at four o'clock, the English Journal The Morning Chronicle was seized in all the public places of this city. This liberal Journal of April lath, contains, it is said, a revolutionary song in French, addressed to the soldiers who formed the cordon of health at the foot of the Pyrennees. It is to be pre sumed that the French Ambassador at London will have maintained on this occasion the honour of his Government in a manner worthy of his noble character. It was rumoured yesterday that the numbers of the Austrian Observer had been for some days stopped at she Post Office. This news is altogether untrue. That of the sth April, which we received this day, makes no mention of the negotiations; it confines itself to giving extracts from the English Courier, Sittings of the German Diet, and fragments of French Journals. Rentes, April 15, 86 ir. 50 c. 80 :. AUGSBURG, APRIL it. It is affirmed, that iu an extraordinary Council of State held at Vienna, to which the Bassin Ambits- .• sador, Cont Golowk . in . an wt. de TAtistileit **re invited, it yeas - Timehmt diet Ay* attempt. should be made at Conatadtinogiioo know %whether the Porte persists in its immteetai :to reject . the oldmaturn of the Emperor Alexander. It is added that thew steps will be taken simulta.neottsly in the name of all the Christian Powers who have Ministers and Diplomatic Agents accredited to the Porte. Yet it is feared that the last attempt to preserve peace will not have the success desired, or that even if the Porte should be seriously disposed to change its system, there would be a great catastrophe at . Constantinople, of w)aich the great men of the Empire were to be the victims: Extract of a private letter from Paris, dated the 15th April:—" The cry is still of war between the Greeks and Turks, and for the last day or two ifhas been generally reported that a declaration of war took place on the Ist instant. The intelligence from Naples, with respeet to the Emperor of Austria's in tention of leaving only 15,000 troops, there, has tended wonderfully to cool the courage, or rather check the headlong temerity of a certain party here. For if such intention should be put in practice, one imme diate result would be a change of Ministry here, so great, and not ill-founded, is their fear of any vent -being given to the volcanic materials that are every day gathering strength, though secretly, in Italy, The Society of St. Thomas d'Aquin, after a month's bard struggling, have succeeded in having General Donadieu nominated to the command of the troops on the Spanish frontier. He has not, however, as yet quitted Paris, and it is not at all unlikely that he may be countermanded. His nomination was hailed with delight by the Liberaux, recollecting the old maxim, Queer dens yak perdere, &c. M. le Comte de Serre set out from this a few days back, with a Constitution in Lis pocket for the Neapolitans. Whether they will accept this, or demand that given by Lord Bentinck, seems the only point in doubt; and it is thought, so lively is the fear both there and here, that they may have which of the two they will." A Lisbon packet, which left the Tagus on the gist ult. has arrived. The British Government having remonstrated against the practice introduced into. some Custom-houses in the Brazils, of its being ne cessary to have two Brokers for the clearance of Bri tish manufactures, as well as against the demand of an additional sum beyond what is due according to the present tariffs, by way of security for the in creased duties of succeeding tariffs, in opposition to, the existing treaties, the KING har ordered the Pro visional Government of the Province of Bahia to transmit orders to all the Custom-houses within their jurisdiction to abolish this practice and receive only such duties as are 6zed by the present miffs. Simi lar orders have also been issued to all the other local Governments. Many of the Deputies in the Cortes are giving up their allowances in behalf of the Treasury. The body of the late Queen was, on the 18th ult. conveyed from the Convent of S. Jose de Itiba Mar, where it had been deposited on arriving from the Brazils, to the Convent of La Estrelha, with great pomp and ceremony. The subject of the Brazils had been dis cussed in the Cortes, and it seemed to be the impres sion of that body, that they had better wait for fur ther arrivals and more information from the Brazils: In the course of the debate on the Brazil question in the sitting of the 22d, Signor FERNAND= THOMAS made use of the following words— ,, Either the Bra zils are really willing to remain united to Portugal, or not—if they are, they ought to obey the laws made by the Cortes ; if they do not wish to obey, and if it is true that the Brazilians wish to separate from Por tugal, I loudly declare that my opinion is, that they separate." We have received some Charleston Papers, but not of a later date than the last.--The brig Hersilia, bound to Connecticut, was taken in Chili by the Spa niards, discharged, and the vessel fitted out on a cruizel the Captain and crew were confined at Orico, from whence two of the Mates, and several of the crew, had made their escape, leaving the Captain ' and remainder of the crew. in prison. We learn by Captain SIMPTIELD, from Valparaiso, that the Her silia had been lost by the Spaniards. He also brings an account of the massacre, by the Spaniards, ofCap- Limn RUSSELL, late of the brig Hero, after being in prison some time. The Constellation, an English fri gate, had been to Orico, and b4d endeavoured to decoy some Spaniards on board, and detain them as hostages for the safety of the Americans and English who were prisoners, but did not succeed. Tug Putims.—We are happy to hear from Wash ington that our GovernMent is engaged in preparing the Macedonian,with four other smaller vessels. The whole equipment, comprehending about 200 marines, will be ready to sail in about a month, with instruc tions at once becoming the honour and interest of our country. In short, if the Government of Cuba cannot or will not execute its obligations to us and to all other Powers frequenting the neighbouring seas, we must put an end to the merciless cruelties perpe trated upon our citizens by those bands of pirates. Yesterday, at half-past one o'clock, a CAbinet:Conn- cil was held at the Foreign Office, in Downing-street, which was attended by The Lord Chancellor, the Earl of Liverpool, the Marquis of Londonderry, Earl Bathurst, Mr. Peel, Mr. Wynn, Mr. Robin son, Lord Maryborough, Mr. Beane Bathurst, Viscount Sid. mouth, the Chancellor of the Ecchequer.• The Council continued in deliberation till neatly four o'clock.
