But here there. could,. no .douht, at least he had NM doubt , that it was in, tended to insult the Kotise, 'ant .therefore the peti.. t a r n might to be rejected. His own mind was cbra r Hely made up on thesublict; but as he had agreed t o an ajjonrontent " en a former Oteasion, hp would n rt object to it 'now, being sensible that the decision• of the House might derive weight from thio.proet desire to avai l ,' rathniss, and to pirkei4 war fi rm deliberation. • Mr. WHITBREAD said a fisi s tvor:Sh exPlinsa : tai D• 'file present petidoiseri, he said, it'd is a t reoliar predicament. -Therlacti sfs 1* contended,- t!hr h it af petitioning the - Kirig on the Throne, and wetr till the preserit Ministers came into office had t'aer been refuied the opportunity of presenting them Is 3 levee. He believed no insult was intended in the Iktition.. Whatever might be said of him, he would to the day. of his death stand up for the rights of t h e people of this country, even against the injus tice of the House itself ; and wo u ld thi n k t h at b e yer c be more clearly engaged in his d ut y t h an ia doiag so. lie had said, and would say, that the Home of Commons had on more occasions than one. bier ranting to its own dignity, and guilty of injus tice a viosc the people. The P.ight Hon. Gentleman bad said that he (NIG W.) took the lead against the H ouse . Whoevcr,might be . .the leader agatiast - the House, he (Mr. Percival) would be incapable of meeting him even if he had justice on his side,-and far less if he was in the wrong. This House, created by delusion, and a most abominably and bigottecl cry, would perhaps be dissolved another act, of rashness,' in order to set one evert more pliable. But, whatever might be its 'end, Undei' the management of the .Right Honourable- Gentleman, if would ter minate in disgrace. . • Lord A. HAMILTON eiplained. C.iptain PARKER -contended that die petition was an insult. It was an arsfai snare :0 entrap them,for he could not otherwise account for the violence of the . lion. Gen:icmen opposite. They gave their opinion, and it was time to strew them that the opinion of the Erase was more valuable. He considered the part where they talked of the murder of unoffendiog eitie seas, as an accusation of murder against the House of Commons. He thought the frequent allusions to the Teller of the Exchequer' very unfair, and, ex pressed his conviction that Mr. Yorke would" hive beea returned for the county of Caebbridge, if - he Lad stood. . Mr. Alderman COMBE, in an'sWet to 'a *mark made respecting the :Mall number of 'signatures, said, that this was in consequence of a,Resgtation passed, that it should be signa by. two Ardirnica aad ten Liverymeti. Mr. kYDEIt said, that the course adopted' with respect to the Petition of the Livery in •December last, was exactly that which bad been prosued, with respect to others by the friends of the Hum Gentle men opposite, when in Office. Mr,, WHITBREAD said,--thatatt was flute to purpose to state what others had done. The goes um was, whether he had acted properly ? and in 'his *ion he had acted with very great impropriety. It was then agreed that the discussion shifull be adjourned till to-morrow. MACAO. Mr. Pitt! s iDERGAST, in pnrsnance of his 'no tice, entered in:o a long description of the expedition sent under Admiral Drury to the Island of Macao, and of the consequent breach of good understanding hewer!! the British there and the Chinese Govern ment. After a variety of observations on the exim diency of procuring every poisible information with respect to a transaction, which he characterised as 11), disgraceful and impolitic, he moval that There le;id before the House the following papers t all dispatches, with their dates, that had been Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, mid the Court of Directors of the East India Company, ee Expedition sent under the command of this (-Admiral Drury, to the Wand of Nlacao, In the ill orders issued by the Ltd* Commissioners of to his Excellency Rear-Admiral Drury. en the reports made by hint relative to the Wile of that all orden given by the Board of Contmul, and It to the Governor-General of India, to the ~ )teargoes at China, relative to the late expedition ) any ficeupatiou of that [standby the troops of the ,pany " I)UNDAS, at don3iicral& length, de :xecutive Government, Lord Mint°, and, 's Supercargoes, 'horn any imputation .pen the ttancactitms at Macao..

The Mt of the 39th gave the Company s free-profit often per cent. mak lug no condition with respect to the Income Tee, which did not then exist. Every new tax on West India produce, made the risk ' of the dividends not amountiog to so much, greater than before There was no doubt but the full taxes were paid on the whole routs of the Company. If, In the Income Tax, there !sac' beets a clause, malting it imperative on the Company to deduct the Ptoperty Tax from the Dividend of each Share-holder, he would ask if the Zest India Dock Company would not have a case to submit to the House claiming some amelioration. They would have said, " We have saved the Public annoallv X 400,000, and 50,1100 to the• Revenue of the Country; If then by wise management we still make such a dividend, ought we to be sub !..cted to the operation of the Act ?" He concluded by moving, as an amendment, That the Debate should be adjourned to that 44y sift moddis. Mt. - BARING thought-the subject should be followed up either Its th 6 manner his Honourable Frieed had proposed, or in some other which might appear more eligible to the House. The opi nion of the Honourable and Learned Gentleman opposite would doubtless be muftis:sty looked to by the House as to the possibility of setting the question to rest in &court of law. If a better way Of proceeding were pointea out by Gentlemen on the other side •of the' House, he should bow to their decision; Mat if they did not do so. he should vote for the resolution. Mr. MANNING admitted that the Company had a right to the r 10 per cent, but out of that they were bound to pay the pro perty tax, as every other subject did , from whatever funds his income might arise. Instead of this, they had paid the pro perty tax out of the Reversionary Fund, which was intended by the Act to lessen :he rates on West India ptoduce. Upon the whole, it appeared they bad misconetrned the act. If they were to depute some person to make a declaration of their being dis posed to submit to the.operation of the act, further proceedings would be unnecessary. He should support the motion. Mr. HUGHAN opposed the resolution, because if there were any ground of complaint the law was r pen for he invest ifeieti. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said, the Company had a right to such profits from the public as' would make up a divided of ten per cent. but when their profits seceded that the residue W. 4 to be a;tpl'ed to the pubi:e service. Wishing well, as he did, t • the Caaipany, of which'ito one had spoke too highly, he thought the"' should be called upon to declare what would be their conduct Ali foam. If they would not submit, the public had a rent:--'.y, though tb apply It nvght be troublesome. From the con, ruct.on b put upon the act, he thought tl.e surplus appropriated to Cl'• public ought not to be burthened with property-tax on their profits. That nu, ht to be paid out of the ten per cent. they tit • aided on die capital. He concluded by expressing his rtKret at finding himself unable in the present instance to support the Corn &stay. BARMM, in reply, str. his readiness to adopt that mode of proceeding nto.t agreeable t h e HOLM:. Mr. W. smITH thought the adv..itages arising to the country Rein the Company were incitlenul, and that the ityonte.tax ought to be ;mid on the ten pet cent. they divi led on the capita:!. The SOLICI I'OR.GENERAL spoke in praise of the Com pany, but concurred with the Attorney-ltentral in his construe. tion of the Act, as involving a question of private right ; he hoped the resobition would he but a preparatory step leading to a mea. • sure on which both Houses could give their opinion and set the question at rest. Mr. 7. descanted at length nn the advantages ' to the Pubbc from the Company. lie had understood they :LI a right to share 10 per tent. on their capital without any deduc tion for the property tax. Mr. JbHNSON eipresstd hle hope that no proceedings might be adopted by any resolution M the Houte, but that the question should be tried in S Court of Law. ' • Mr. BAR}L%M said, that if the Company should continue thee to divide, it would then be the duty of the House to order an information to be entered agair st them 'lle CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER was of opinion that it would not be inconvenient for the House to express its sense by a resolution. It would be extremely difficult to try the question in any way, and at the same time keei, the arrears out of sight, which necessarily embraced the interests of the West India Merchants. • • The question was then put, and the amendment less negatived. The uriginal question was carried without a division.—Adjonrued. THE EVENING LONDON. WEDNESDAY, MAY 9. PRICE OF STOCKS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK. 3 per C. Cons money, 704—ace. 701.

This day being the first in Easter Term, the Judges and Gentlemen of the long robe, as usual, paid their respects to the LORD CHANCELLOR, at his house in ku , sq %are. • Yesterday die Whig Chili held their Monthly Meet ing at the Crown and Anchor Tavern. The Hon. Mr. ERSKINE took the Chair until the arrival of Mr. WHITBREAD, who was detained by the important dis cussion in the House of Commons 02 the question of the Petition from the Livery of London. A number of constitutional toasts were given,_ and Mr. WHIT BREAD, Mr. BYNG, MARTIN, Mr. ERSEINII,- Mr. WAITIIMAN, and other Gentlemen, expressed in a lively manner, their sense qf the present momentous situation of the country, and the necessity of proceed ing with temper and e-mcord in the great wish of Re form by constitutional means. Letters were yesterday received from France to the 6th instant. Nothing is mentioned in them of any new successes in- Spain. The only political matter they contain is connected with the excursion of BONA ?Mart and his Consort to his Flemish dominions. Yesterday some private letters were received from Holland of a recent date. They relate chiefly to the tyrannical conduct of the French, in the rigid means of enforcing the order for the exclusion of British commerce, or in other words the total extinction of foreign trade, already sunk to so low a state that the exchange of Rotterdam being no longer a scene of commercial trm;action, has been converted into a barrack for the French troops. Letters have also been melted from Oporto, dated t+sh ultimo. The writers express no apprehen.- - stun cif the insecurity of that part of the country, but, i on the contrary, deem the Allied Armies adequate to tneet any force the enemy can bring against them. They make some complaints with respectio a part of iv:, management of the Commissariat Department, whith it would. be of importance to remedy. The farmers of the interior are required to supply teams for the use of the army, and food for its subsistence. For these contributions the Land-holders are not paid i n money, but in bills on the Treasury arLisbon, for the dneharge of which the peasantry have to travel 40 or 50 miles, and in some cases a much greater dis tance, so that the sakfaction of the demand is some ! times unegrial to compensate for the fatigue and, ex , pence i icurred in obtaining it. This circumstance is frequently a material injury to the service, for in order to avoid the inconvenience of such a form of pay- I meat, the farmers break their carts, and disable their tattle, and in the event of their being employed, the drivers forsake them on the road, and no discipline or cruelty can urge the oxen onwards, unless applied by the person to #:hom they are accustomed. • The King's Theatre was last night filled with an elegant and fashionable audience, and the Opera of La Pinate called forth the applause of the cognos centi in every scene. Madam CATALAN' and Signora COLLIN', were in fine voice; the pathetic appeal of the fanner, when descending into the tomb, thrilled every nerve, and her " In scendo" will be remembered with the same admiration as her " Son Regina," in Semi ramiele. TRAMEZZANI, as the Roman General, had also an opportunity of displaying the two-fold excellence of his vocal and histrionic powers, and he was never more successful. The Ballets went off extremely well but were rather tedious. —There is no good reason why almost all the choruses in the Opera should be omitted, in order to indulge-the Ballet Master with the 'endless recurrence of processions of figurant i , " in thunder, lightning, am!. in rain," as k literally the case in Cufid and Plyche. Notwithstanding the cur tailrkent of the choruses, it was half-past 12 o'clock before the curtain finally dropped. There never was but one instaneeof Two Packets of rickets being given in one Lottery, and that was last year; the one produced 024,765, being near Jesolo more than the highest money prize in the Lottery, and of it shares were sold by lucky W: Tun- Nita, now of No. 1, Skinner -street, Snow-hill; like. wise of four £20,000 Prizes in last year's Lotteries.
