Soon after twelve o'clock, the kirl of Livelieom announced that bis Majesty had been pleased to elevate 13aron Etnoe, Lento IIWI CHANCELLOR of Great Britain, to the tank of a ViAnottnt and Earl of the United Kingdom. %oats Cnoncznioa, who was seated on the Woolsack, instree;:ately retired from the House fur the purpo , e of robing, in order that he might receive his new dignities. Shortly after wet di he entered the House by the door below the Bar, where he Was met •by the Loan Gals T CUA , the Earl of LIVERPOOL and the Earl of SHA/1/LSEUET, in their Peers' robes; Sir THOMAS Trawntir, in his official costume ' and Sir Genies NATIAII, as the Representative of the Earl Marshal, in his t 'hard. His Lordship was introduced to Al House by the Earl of Ltrzaroot and the Earl of SiterTzsauae, and, on get ting within the Bar, Sir Ggoaoe NATI.= presented him with his Patent of Nobility. His Lordship then advanced to the Throne, and kneeling in front of the Chair on which his Me aner sits when he attends the House, there deposiled his Pa tent. Having taken it up again and risen, he proceeded to the body of do , House, and delivered it to the Clerk to be read ; it. was read accordingly, and announced that his MAJESTY had been pleased to confer the titl.. s set forth on his Lordship, for his zea lous, honourable, and meritorious services as Lord High Chan cellor of Evglat,d for a period of nineteen years. At the conclu sion of the reading of this in itrurnent, the new created Earl took Vie oaths; and then, attended as before by the Loan Goiter Carestes.az.otie and the Noble Earls by whom he had b.:en introduesei, took his seat, first as a junior Earl, and then, by virtue of his ',dice as Loan Dieu Citesesiios, as senior Karl The ceremony being thus concluded, the House ad- Purred during pleasure. His Lordship shortly afterwards re seed .. e a as • ... , .13 eezzLiott.. The Exchequer Bills for Pdblic Works Bill, the Irish Stamp Duties Bill, and the Lunatic Trustees Bill, were read a this d t fir and passed. Afterwards their Lordships heard the Arroxiser-Gesreei on beaalf of the Crown, and Mr. WETHERELL for the appellant, in the appeal of 4 . Woolfe the King," upon a writ of error. This appeal was against the judgment of the Court of King's Bench, by which Wolfe and owe others had been sentenced to fine and imprisonment for a conspiracy to defraud numerous manufacturers of their property. The ground of the appeal was that of the Chief Justice haying allowed the Jeiy to separate for t, hole eight, doing which the trial had been adjourned. Three questions were ultimately put by the LORD CHANCELLOR for the coniedeiation of the Judges, who retired to consider then!. Within a quarter of five o'clock their Lordships ware moved to affirm the judgment of the Court of King's Bench, in accordance with the opinions of the Judges.—Judgment affirmed. it EAL OF THE AGRICULTURAL HORSE TAX. The 1.:11-1 of LAUDERDALE expressed his sur prise that not a single word should have been said in explanation and support of the measure since it had reached their Lordships House. Far from not wish ing to repeal taxes, he was one cf those who were desirous that an inquiry should be set on foot into the üblic expenditure, for repealing those taxes which were most oppressive and the least productive. But yet he could not approve of the present measure. He thought the mode and manner in which the tax was to be repealed injurious, and conceived that the abo lition of that on leather would have afforded much mote general relief. The whole anemia of the relief produced by this measure would not in tact exceed one per cent. on the rent paid by the farmer, so that the benefit crowd be scarcely eel( by poor tenants, and would be almost confined to great and rich farmers. Next year the manufactuiers would come', and say, 44 You relieved the agricultural interest last Session, how can you now refuse to relieve us?"— Yet, if taxes were thus given up to gratify all inte rests, what would become of that Revenue which the Noble Earl had represented as necessary to support the State? Under such circumstances he could not vete for the repeal of the Tax on Husbandry Horses. The Earl of LIVERPOOL stated, that if the pre sent Bill had originated with his Majesty's Govern ment, it would have been his duty on its second read ing to explain the grounds on which it was founded. But the measure had been proposed by the Agricul tural Comtnittee appointed by the Commons. Its introduction had been resisted in the other House by his Majesty's Government, and it was only after the mean r had received the sanction of a large majority of Parliament, that they had declared themselves in its favour. He would fairly admit that he would have much preferred that the preposition should ever have been made, or the Bill tendered to their Lordships. And if he were asked whether he consi dered the relief of 1:400,000, thus given to the farmers, equal to the advantages which would result from the repeal, he should not hesitate to answer, no. He had originally declared in that House, that he saw no ground for expecting that any good would result from the appointment of an Agricultural Committee, but that, on Ore contrary, much mischief might ensue. But the N.,ble. Eirrnpposite was for adopting another course, and for having a Committee to inquire into the state of the Revenue, in order to see what taxes night he most conveniently repealed. If this were done, it would be attended with the same consequences as the Agricultural Committee. Every Member Of the Committee would have a favourite object in view, and would propose the repeal of a particular tax.— Some specimen of this might be produced by his Noble Friend's speech, for whilst he (Lord Lauder dale) was for repealing the leather tax, he (Lord Li verpool) thought that there were many others which it would be more beneficial to abolish. The present measure, however, was attended by one advantage. If it were not felt by the country at large, it was at least one by which relief was directly given from the Exchequer to the iudividuals concerned. It must also be recollected that the Agricultural Interest was of all others that on which the pressure was the greatest. Nay, the subject itself was taxation, and on such a head some deference ought to be paid to the sentiments of the other House, unless the inconveni ence should be very great indeed. The Earl of CARNARVON considered the pre sent system of finance altogether wrong. Indirect taxation had attained its maximum, and new taxes could neither increase the Revenue nor create a Sink iag Fund. The best, if not the only way, to augment the Revenue, would, in fact, be to reduce many of those taxes which were least productive. He con tended that the alteration in the value of our cur rency, coupled with the unalterable nature of the in terest of our National Debt, formed the true cause of the great distress experienced by the country. The sears of peace were rapidly passing before us. We, load already gone through a number of years equal to halt the longest period of peace enjo) ed for cen turies by this country, and yet nothing had been done to retrieve oar condition. Before their Lordships as:embled next Session, they ought to come to some decision to look the difficulties of the country in the f ice, and not to Wait till years of danger returned. The Eail of LAUDERDALE briefly replied, and contended that, instead of being impoverished, the , o , l ntry was much richer at this time than in 1792. The Bill was then read.. third the., and pae•ed.Adjounted. ' r ''t 7 rHE MTENING STAR. LONDON. TUESDAY, JULY 10, 1821.

As Parliament will be prorogued to-morrow, it is possi ble that the result may not even be known until after the prorogation. The last prorogation was so ar ranged, as to defeat the presentation, by Mr. Diti - MAN, of the QUEEN'S Message to the House of com-1 mons, and it may be thought a like happy Cabinet expedient to make the, present prorogation precede the public announcement of the decision upon her MAJESTY'S Claim, so as to prevent its being made the subject of any Parliamentary proceeding. The Paris Papers of Friday and Saturday have arrived. The arrival of the news of BONAPARTE'S death is announced in the Moniteur, and in all the minor Journals, almost precisely in the same terms : " The English Journals of the 4th instant fiave been received. The death of BONAPARTE is officially an nounced in them. The following are the terms in which this news is given." The accounts published in London ate then subjoined, and not a word of re mark is added. So much for the benefits of a Censorship ! _ _ The intelligence does not appear from these Papers to have had any remarkable effect on the French Funds. The Five per Cents. are stated to have left off on Friday at Bdlr. 30c. being only a rise of 43c. above the latest price on the preceding day. In the Chamber of Deputies the event was alluded to in a way which is variously reported. The follow ing are two of the versions: _ " M. DUPLIGSIS-GRENEDAN mounted the tribune. The orator opened an immense volume of manuscript; the attention was already damped. His voice was so weak that he could scarce be heard. He began, be fore speaking of the Ccnsureship, by presenting a pic ture of the despotic reign of the Usurper, and of his most zealous servants. But,' added he, the Usurper is dead ; let us'speak of him of no more'—(interraption frame the centre).—Then turning himself towards the' left side, he exclaimed, Cry now, if you please, Yive r Enepereur !' At this moment all the Members, of both sides, quitted their places ; the Ministers re tired, and the speaker descended from the tribune without having pronounced the fourth of his dis course."—(Gazdte de France.) M. DUPLESSIS-GRENEDANr•' Here the speaker entered into a long digression on the conduct of the Ministry : his breast laboured—his voice became ex hausted—he had ceased to be listened to—when the word ' Usurper,' pronounced with a strong voice, struck our ears.—M. CASSISIIR PERM exclaimed, It is the kick of the ass—the lion is dead V.- 6 The partisans of Bonaparte,' replied M. Duplessis-Grene dan, may now cry L'Empereur est mart, vire: l EllTc. rear 1--A voice on the left—' It is a seditious cry." A murmur of a particular character ran through the Assembly, and it soon after broke up !"—(Constitu fionnel.) The Monitcur contains a Report from the Minister of the Marine to the KING, concerning the formation of it new establishment, or colony, " connected with the interests of French commerce and navigation" in Guiana. A Commission, appointed for this purpose, and consisting of three persons, sailed from Havre on the 13th of September last, and arrived at Cayenne on the 20th of October. These three persons, resi dent on the spot, were associated to the labours of the Commission. Nine days afterwards they set sail for the ulterior destination—the river Man; about fifty leagues distance from Cayenne. They ascended the Mana, about fifty leagues, and penetrated deeply into the country on each side of the river. Their account of the climate and soil is favourable. They. have drawn up' seventeen Journals and four Mapi, each of four sheets. The following,is a summary of their Report : 6 ' The low lands, or those subject to inundations, terminate at three leagues and a half from the mouth of the Mana. At the same point the marsh insects disappear. On advancing farther up the river, the country is partly even and partly undulating ; and the soil on the high grounds, particularly on the left bank, is said to be excellent. Moreover, the country is covered with trees of different kinds, most of them fit to be used in building. 4C Hurricanes and the yellow fever are unkaown in Guiana. The country is intersected with rivers, which fall into the Mana and the Maroni, and are all either navigable, or capable of being rendered so. f t They found thirteen falls in the Maria, which in the rainy season disappear, al:ct that time THE KING'S COURT. vessels of pretty large burden cast pass them Irithmit difficulty. According to observations made clueing a stay Of forty-five days at one place, the mean heat was at 1 22 degrees of Reaumur.. On the high grounds the temperature was greater. 46 Two military posts have been left on the Matra, the principal one at about eleven leagues from the mouth, and the second at seven leagues. Light barks can sail up to the former, but vessels of large con struction can proceed as far as the latter. This place is recommended for the establishment of the Colony." The labours of the Commission terminated on the 25th of December last, and the results are said to be satisfactory; thnugh some regret is expressed in the Report that the Commission had not been able to penetrate farther into the interior of the country. In a dispatch from the Governor of Cayenne, much praise is bestowed on the Commission, and the coun try which they explored is said to be very favourable to population and industry. However, he does not conceal the inconveniencies of the climate, but says that they might be lessened by means of proper pre cautions. He recommends that the new Colony should be entirely separated from the old. A Mail arrived this forenoon from Hamburgh, with Papers to the 3d instant. We extract from them the following interesting accounts from Turkey : STOCKHOLM, JUIVE 22.
