By the exertions that had been made, and were g, n progress, to call in the arrears of the property id ass essed taxes, which last year amounted to 6(10000, c onsiderable sum had been drawn I‘ , on , the public in addition to the regular receipts of year. The Committee then would see that the , o d w hen such an additional collection had been tee from the public, though on account of arrears, not a time for resorting to new taxes if they could avoided. He b e gged in this place to call the attention of the -ttee to .a resolution, which hull bent introdu. b the Noble Lord whom he succeeded (Marquis . Lansdowne) into his financial resolutions in 1807. resolution directed that an account should be b e fore the House of the net ppdacc of all the anent taxes for the three precedtpg . years, and ever2g e should be made otAose not then in A k i n ; it also directed that 11, similar account b e made out for the year 1.80 . §,,9, and 10, and ere s hould appear to be any. excess . of amount in )te last three years, that it shonr4; be at the disposal p ar li a ment, and applicable to eciver the charge of l e In {,,r either year; but if any de fi ciency should tie pace, that it was to be Made, gOod by Parlia lent. 'The principle of this resOlutipn was certainly of t hat upon 'y:hich his proposition. was founded ; 7 if he were to take ‘ au ave4age On three year 4 excess w auld be 40;(20cienore then be meant .to ; e for the service of the .present, year. adverted', h o r esolution only to sbew, .that his . prOposition of altogether a novel idea in. ittat House, L might het+, be material for the satisfaction of the immittee to look to the stateog the trade, manu tures and commerce of the pantry, in order .toJ ;r that there was a just prospect.that their expects.: would not prove unfounded sas to the stability the means and resources of the empire. This td most satisfactorily appear , from a reference to lmparative amount' of the exports and imports &rent periods. The official value of the imports year was 16,245,209. The prosperous year of (1802), was only £31,442,318, being an in. last year of nearly £5,000,000 above the most as year of peace. The exports of British ,actures last year amounted t.) £35,107,000: )2 they were only £26,993,199, being a differ of between 8 and 19,000,000 infavour of last The exports of foreign manufactured goods last year £15,194,000, somewhat less than the dm of foreign exports in 1802, which was !,127,000. But it was most satisfactory to ob that though the exports of foreign goods decreased, the export of British manufactures risen in a greater proportion, and that there an increase upon the whole of £4,180,000, mount of all the exports having been last year "40.000, whereas, in 1802, they amounted to but 120,000. Upon an average of the two last years trel with the average of 1802 and the preceding the ad varnage was £3,168,300 in favour of these of war over two years of peace. But if the drantage had even not been so much in favour of last r, the average would shew that the country was stationary but progressive in prosperity. In Irksll;re Anne the: manufacture pf cloth had increas 'in the last year to the•extent of one million Eve 1 thousand yard s .: But was not the growing rospetity cf the country obvious in the great public Cks which were undertaken throughout the country _ great canals and extensive docks which were all sides establAing ? The progress of such un ings, with as much spirit, activity, and enter- :e, as in a time of the most profound and prosper, peace, was a certain indicationof the flourishing .edition of our trade,,,manufaittires, and, commerce..

HUSKI SSON agreed with his Itightr:Volii,d Friend, that the country was i n a progressive * state of rProvement. He never had stated the contrary, I , 44 ever his opini ons m i g h t have been misrepresented ; but eve n f rom the speech of his Right Hon. Friend, drat DO perm anent taxes coul d be found to meet the exigencie s of the State, to which insuperable objections ‘'ollll not be raised, he was convinced we could not go on raising one million or R 1,200,000 additional yearlyHe was sure that neither his Honourable rrimd nor any Mi nister could long support cur im t...erse annual expenditure. He wished to see the sub iect fairly stated ; he wished to see a permanent sys OM established to catty On n Mloctedwarfire, even 1 foi an undetemined period. He could not bear the I idea of thus going on year after year without provi dence or foresight . ; and such a conduct reminded him j of an answer of a French Minister, at the helm of affairs in that country a short time before the revolu tion broke out, and who, to remonstrances on ap proaching and inevitable difficulties, carelessly an swered, 66 ditris nous as deluge." He would repeat , that he was by no means desponding, but he would have such a statement made, to convince the enemy that we had full means to continue the contest. Another motive for establishing a permanent system was, the fluctnation of revenue, and the certainty that some of the principal resources of this year would not be found for the next. With a permanent system of adequate taxation, a strict economy was immediately connected, and he had expected to see that necessary vfrtue practised in this year's expendi ture, as his Right Honourable Friend had manifested his earnest intenticet to turn all his thoughts to that subject. He thought it impossible that we could long go on, if a few.millions alear were not deducted from our expenditure ; and yet in this year's Budget the expences were greater than in the preceding one, without some of the principal items being sufficiently accounted for. He adverted especially to the increase in the number of seamen, which he thought unneces rary in the present state of the war. We could never expect to reduce the enemy, asformerly, by the destruc tion of his fleets, or the annihilation of his remaining trade. It had been said by his Right Hon. Friend, that the darling object of his ambition was 44 ships, colonies, and commerce';" that ambition, he believed, however, had now taken a different turn ; and his peculiar madness—for all conquerors were more or less tainted with some—appeared to be the total de struction of trade. Of course it could never be ex pected that all our efforts at sea could bring the con test to an issue. The Honourable Gentleman next adverted to the finances of Ireland, which he thought far from flourishing. Once more, he was not despon ding, but he wanted to impress on his Right Hon. Friend and on the Committee the necessity of a per manent system of taxation to meet the exigencies of the state ; and of economy to husband our resources, as he was confident that from that depended our pros perity, and our very existence. Mr. ROSE perfectly agreed in every thing the Right Hon. Gentleman said about economy—( Hear, hear)—the necessity of which he had been one of the first to represent; but he thought it rather hard that his Right Hon. Friend should be called upon to provide for more than one year's expenditure—a thing, he be lieved, which had never been heard of. He defended the application of the overplus of the Consolidated Fund, on die ground that the nation had a right to expect that no new axes should be laid, as in all con science we had done enough for posterity.—( Hear, hear.) In the present state of our affairs it would have been unpardonable to have laid any new taxes. This idea the Right !1011. Gent. took great pleasure in enforcing, and remarked with exultation at the same time, that every measure of the enemy to sap the foundation of our commerce and prosperity, had tended to increase both ; that they were progressively augmented, and as long as it continued to be the case, ,we need not care what Bonaparte made of his vassal :kings, or what changes he effected on the Continent. • Mr. HUSKISSON explained. Mr. TIERNEY had never given way to despon dence ; he had never depreciated the resources of the country, although he had been accused of it; but he thought that a goad deal of our boasted prosperity was fictitious, and he would continue to think so, till proofs of the contrary were adduced. He thought the,suniming up of the Budget mortifying, as he saw thaveconomy professed by Ministers, and redommendect from the Throne. He objected particularly to the Vote of Credit as enormous, con sidering that we had no allies to subsidize on the Con tinent, and that Portugal had been alreaay provided for. In congratulating the Chancellor of the Ex chequer on the unparalleled favourable terms at which lie had obtained the Loan, he attributed that circum stance entirely to the quantity of superabundant capi tal which could find no employment, as he did his former financial success, to unexpected good luck. Here the Right Hon. Gentleman took a long survey of the Chancellor of the Exchequer's financial opera tions, to prove what he had advanced. He recom mended the appointment of a Committee for the esta blisbment of a permanent system of taxation. Once more, he was not desponding; but he warned the . Right Hon. Gentleman and the Committee not to trust to the constancy of unparalleled good luck, or to a shew of prosperity. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, in reply, agreed to what had fallen from the Right Ho nourable and the Honourable Gentleman (Mr. Tier ney and. Mr- Huskisson) on the subject of economy ; at the same time he warmly defended his statements and hit measures. Mr. H. THORNTON and Mr. TURTON made tome observations, when the Resolutions were then 4greed to, and the Report was ordered to be received Adjourned.

SPAIN An PORTUGAL. - .By a vessel which called off Plymouth on Tuesday , we have received the following Letter, from aft Offi cer attached to our Army in Portugal : “ LISBON, MAY S. ge I apprised you in My letter of the gd, (See the STAR Of Tuesday), that a great battle was daily ex pected between our army and the French ; and we yesterday received intelligence, by an officer who ar rived here from the army, to ethbark with dispatches for England, that both Lord WEt.r.moros and Gene ral HILL, who had advanced considerably beyond the frontier, have suddenly fallen back, and taken up advantageous positions. These movements are in consequence of the rapid approach of a strong French reinforcement, consisting of several thousands, who are reported to be within three days march of the frontiers. We are here, however, in perfect apparent security, our force being equal to any the enemy can bring to act against it. The Portuguese troops are well disciplined, and appear to act with our troops with the greatest cordiality. 46 I need scarcely tell you, that we have received very unpleasant intelligence from Cadiz ; but we hope matters arc not so bad there as represcnted : if they are, we may almost conclude the affairs of Spain as verging to an irretrievable crisis. My next will, no doubt, convey to you the clews of a battle as obstinately contested as any during the course of this eventful war ; but, should the Portu guese troops behave as there is every reason to expect they will, they will not be inglorious to the allied army. One circumstance augurs favourably for the Portuguese—there have been none of those instances of treachery and disunion here, which have contribu ted, more than the arms of the enemy, to ruin the cause of the ill fated and infatuated Spaniards. " 6 Our cruizers on this station have taken several prizes—two of them are just standing in, and appear to be large French brigs. I send this by a merchant vessel which is now getting under way for England, and will touch at Plymouth. You shall hear from me again by the First conveyance, should any thing occur worthy of being communicated." By the ANIMIA frigate, which has arrived from the coast of Galicia after a short passage of four days, accounts have been received from the northern parts of the Peninsula to the 11th instant, containing some particulars respecting the siege and surrender of As torga, and its abandonment by the French troops after the destruction of the works: " CORUNNA, MAY 4. " On the 22d April Junot began the attack of Astorga, and continued it on the 23d, but seeing it was defended by 2500 men, and resolved to take it, the 24th he made a covered way on the side or the Bishop's Gate, situated on a part of the wall which was weak. At break of day he began to play uponle, and made a breach seven yards wide, as if it had been cot with a knife. Three times they renewed the assault at this opening, on which the val• liant Governor Santolices ordered an °has to be planted there, which swept down the tanks of the enemy, but at last this brave officer having no more ball, and seeing Junot determined to ob tain possession of the city, he reluctantly surrendered it, and on Easter Tuesday General Junot entered the place at the head of two bodies of artillery and some cavalry. He was met by the noble and generous Santolices, who presented his sword to the Frenchman, which Junot desired him to retain, telling him that he knew well how to employ it, and that be might keep his Government if he would exercise his authority in the name of the Emperor Napoleon. To this offer he replied, that he was a Spaniard, and that he should acknowledge no Sovereign but Ferdinand VII. After this reply, he was ordered, with the other prisoners, to be conducted to Valladolid. The killed on the part of the enemy amount to 3500 men, and on our side we bad only comparatively a small number killed, and 1000 prisoners. " Our prudent General, when he capitulated, introduced e condition, that the troops of the enemy Are not to be distribut ed in the adjacent country, assigning as a reason, that he could not answer for their security among his indignant countrymen.— Having, arranged this matter, he or.lered all his soldiers, that could procure the means, to dress themselves in peasants' habits and in that disguise escape. By this device, a prodigious number were enabled to join the Spanish army in the neighbourhood. " Junot had with him about 10,000 men, and having effected, his purpose, i.e sent scco to Ciudad Rodrigo, 2000 to Asturias, and the r e st remained at Astorga, who were employed in demo lishing the walls, and in the sequel, only 300 were reserved to finish this work. Those who proceeded to Asturias, when endeavouring to pass the Narona, were attacked by Porker (el Marquisito), who beat them and put them to a disgraceful r " CORO NSA, MAY n.—News by last nignt - s mail inform I ns, that the bead-quarters of the British ai-niy4s:Ve,reMoVed from Viseu, and that ft is advlanchig towards tilanianca." 4 FALMOUTH, MAt 14.

The Bullion Select Committee continues its labours with great assiduity, and, if we are rightly informed, has resolved to recommend to Parliament to put an end to the restrictions on issues of apecie, and to oblige the Bank to pay cash for its notes as before the re striction laws ; but the Committee has not yet decided at what period this should be enforced. SIR F. BURDETT AND THE Selassat.—The Speaker, by his Counsel, has filed a special plea to the process instituted against him by Sir Francis Burdett. It consists of Not Guilty as to the trespass, assault, and false imprisonment ; and he further pleads the privi lege and authority of the Commons of the United Kingdom, by virtue of which privilege he issued the warrant against the plaintiff. To this plea the plain tiff will either reply or demur ; if he replies, then the defendant will demur to the replication, and the ar gument will next take place in the Court of King's Bench on such demurrer. It will then rest wholly with that Court to say, whether the case shall or shall, sot go to a Jury. A detachment of the Hon.
