This, be contended, was not the principle of the Bill; for exemptions were equally denied to all property except that arifing from indulit y, and, therefore, the tax on income in the funds was as fair and jull as any other. Mr. WiLstr•roect fpoke in favour of the intltue. Lion. He contended, that the principle of it was to take care that thole who derive their incomes from public funds ilsould nand on as good a footing as thofe who bad incomes of other kinds. There was nothing more dangerous than admitting nice dif. tineions, when the public faith is concerned.—.-He would therefore fupport the inaruaion. Mr. H.

Though it is impoffible to determine what credit is to be given to there reports, it feems that the dikovery of Come undue in fl uence tired by a foreign power, has occafioned Come confu. (ion at the Court alluded to. The murder of a Ruf fian Courier from St. Peterlburgh on his way to Vi enna, who 'was robbed of his difpatches, though his money and valuable effeas were left untouched, is prefumed to have Tome connection with the above events. BRIMS, Just 3o.—For a week paR the French have been bufily employed in fortifying the ifland of Krutfand, in the Elk, diredly oppofite Gluckfladt, which latter fortrefs is in the aloft refpedable Rate of defence, and particularly ftrong on the Elbe fide.— All the French troops in Stade, except a very (mall detachment, have marched to Luneburg. Haltom, Just so:—On the sBth a French Cou. vier went from Hanover to Berlin. Five thoufand French troops have palled through Ulzen towards the Elk, and Lanenburg, making forced marches of fourteen league a day. Wiesen, Jvir t.—The French troops arbith were very numerous in this place and neighbourhood, are all marched to Luneburg and the banks of the Elbe. Tees Hors, Joss , I.—The French are all gone from hence towards Lauenburg,leaving only a piquet. Lonsatraa, Joss 3o. —Our whole garrifon is marched to the Elk. A la;ge French Military Hof pita] is going to be eftablifhed here. We cape& this evening the final iffue of the negotiations with the Ha noverian, in Lauenburg, where a great Council of War has bees held this morning. Lausnavao, Just' 2.—A1l is yet quiet, and it 'teems as if the French did not intend to pall the Elbe oppofite this place, but rather above and below.— The day before yellerday, in the evening, General LEOPOLD Barris: la arrived here from Luneburg, and had a conference of an hour with Field.Marfhal Count Wasreomia, after which be returned imme diately to Luneburg. The purpofe of his coming was, it is aid, to common the Hanoverian army to forrender as prifonera of war. The French demand that the troops (hall lay down their arms, the cavalry give op their horfes, and the privates be taken to France as prifoners. To this it was decidedly an fwered, that his BRITANNIC MAJESTY not having ra tified the Convention of Suhlingen, it was in no re fped binding for the Hanoverian army, who were refolved to fight to the lath drop of their blood, ra ther than fubmit to thefe conditions. Since this time all the approaches to the Elbe, from the front iers of Mee klenbu r g to the Z,ollenfricker, wh it would be poffible to pars, are firongly - defended by troops and heavy artillery, and we now wait the event. The head-quarters are removed to Gulsow. We are in no want of provifions, but every thing is very dear. We are in Come fear that the town may be bombarded. Zst.s, fuss' 3.—On the as,th Jane a great park of artillery broke up to go againft Lauenburg. Great bodies of troops are continually marching to rein. force the French arms at Luneburg, which is now very confiderable. Lurssuao, JULY I.—For this week paR Rrong corps of French troops are incefantly marching through here: Come from the parts of our country occupied by them, and Come direilly from Mayence, often in forced marches of ; a or ;4 leagues a day. This town and the country to the Elbe refemble a camp —t 7.003 men are colleBed along the River, opofite Lanenburg. Their dellination is entirely to difarm the Hanoverian corps. Jura , the (hips here are put in requifition for the conveyance of artillery : this morning they all failed to the Hope, to receive farther orders. No one is allowed to pats to the other fide of the Elbe. A park of artillery of so pieces, four, eight, and. twelve.pounders, arrived this morning, aad part are already gone to the Elbe. Jocv 3. —The mod ferions preparations are mak ing for puffing the Elbe in feveral places. All the vac's hers are gone down to the Illmenau, to be employed as occaGon flail require.

Juwa 22.—We yefterday received Intel• ligence from Poland. that a courier difpatched by the Ruffian Court to our Government was affaffinated in Ruffian Poland, on the Auftrian frontiers, and his difpatches carried off. The perpetrators of this mur der neither touched his money nor any of the valua ble articles which he had in his pockets or in the carriage. This morning two Couriers arrived here from London and Paris: their difpatches were immediately fent to the EssPEILOR. They were of fo important a nature• that a grand Council of State was imrnedi. ately held rcfpeaing them. Jugs tip—Though our army is more than com plete. the EMPEROR has judged proper, under the prefent circumftances, to order a new general re cruiting, to augment the forces of the Aullrian Mo narchy with Bc,ooo men. The recruiting has already begun : as the ordinary revenues of the city are not fufficient to defray the expences which will thence re fult, it is propelled to increafe the taxes on wines and on houfe-rent. Luatauao, Piet 29.—Ycfierday at noon General MOMICHAILD fet out from this place with his whole Staff for Lune, a convent &tutted in our neighbour. hood. General Ferias arrived bete foun after from Hamburgh with his Adjutants, and an efcort of huffars ; General MORTILR alfo was espeeed, but be did not arrive till this morning at four o'clock, ac companied by Citizen Rem Adjutant General of the Cuts' Cousur. : General MOII7IIII took up hi. lodgings in the Grille. Since the day before yellerday there have arrived here and in the neighbnurhnod,nearly othooo French troops : we Rill ezpea many others, and a great number of cavalry. Thefe troops will advance far ther to-morrow to enter, as we attired, into Lassen. bourg they carry with them no artillery, and very little baggage. An embargo was yelterday laid on all the vefrels here : they remain at the difpofal of the French Generals, and in all probability will be em ployed for the paffage of the Elbe, Would thietneafure become neceffary. A general report prevails, that the Hanoverian. are not expeited to lay down their arms voluntarily. Yefterday evening the provincial Direaor Linens, and Major-General de WaosaNain paled here on their way as deputies from Hanover to Lauenburg: they are charged with a million in regard to the dif arming of the Hanoverian'. On the other hand, Lieutenant Colonel de Boca has arrived here from Lauenbourg, aid has had a conference with General Moarita. It is thence inferred, that affairs in Lao. enburg may yet be arranged without having recourfe to arms. In the mean time, the French troops ate ambling in great numbers in the environs of Art lenbourg. Gorham*, Jutr I.—The French army is ad. vancing by forced marches towards the country of Lauenburg, to difarm the Hanoverian troops which arc there affembled. We learn from Zell that the Provincial Direaor de Learns, and the Provincial Counfellor W.GINNIIM, had let out fpeedily for Lau. enbouri. The principal objett of their million is to prevent the effunon of blond by effeaing a voluntary difarming of the Hanoverian troops. The French troops about to pals the Elbe will be very near the Danilh troops polled on the frontiers of Holflein. CnpENNICSN, JUNI :S.—Official notice has been fent to our Court by the French Government, that Denmark hit no realms to entertain any fear on the part of France, in the prelim Rate of affairs. At the prefent crifis we are happy to notice and applaud the public fpirit and patriotic zeal of indivi dual, :—Mr. Ro.

Several houfes were &only involved in the conflagration.— The neighbouring houfes being chiefly inhabited by the lower clefs of people, it was a truly pitiable figh; to fee them running with their goods in every direc tion. Every finer and court around the place was filled with articles ef furniture. It was nearly two hours before the exertions of the firemen arrclkd the progref, of the flames. The engines entirely rav ed the haute at the corner of Red Lion.areet, the dell:it:lion of which would have been attended with difinCTOUSconfequenceb. as it is a brandy merchant's, and contained a confiderable flock.
