Some people have questioned the accuracy of the statement of the CHANCELLOR of the Elms:was last week, that, if the House had permitted the Income Tax to have been continued, the price of Stocks woad have risen long ago. We think the proposi tion cannot be doubted. If that species of property is alone to be exempted from the payment of Poor•rates and all casualties. and if Land and Labour are to be taxed to the quick for its support, who would not he a competitor for the possession of such favoured pro. pert; And where the competitors for purchase are IsuiSciently numerous, mast there not be a rise in the price of the commodity ? We have asked often, and we shall never lose sight of the question, whether it is equitable.-whether it is politic that this species of property should be ly)l -stered up at the expense of every other in the K ng dom ? We ask farther, which is only another manner of stating the same question, whether the mai ite• Stance of a high price for the Public . Fund• waile every other kind of property experiences a ruinous depression, indicates a state of souad and vigorous health in the body politic, or a state of internal mor • bid malady which threatens its ultimate ruin it pro per remedies be not speedily administered t---Our own conviction inclines to the latter opinion. However we may be found to diff-r from those whose decisions may give practical soup irt to the Contrary system, it is our firm belief, that the sys em which operates to give to fictitious—to paper property, a value alcove that which real properly can command in the market, must eventually undermine the prosperity of the com munity. We have the presumption then to differ from the Minister on the indications of the Stock barometer. What with him is held a symptom of national pros perity. we view as evidence of deep and wide-spread distress. Were the beam now, as formerly, as nearly in equilibrium that a person would find it 4fficuit to decide whether an investment in the funds or in land would be moot beneficial for his family, the case would be quite different ; but when none can be found willing to buy land. there must be something operating to the unfair prejudice of this species of property, which most be removed before the nation can recover a healthy cod vigorous tone. But if we differ from Mini:ter: in our view of this question, we differ equally from Mr. BROUGHAM'S Opinion that the Fonds cannot be assessed to the Poor Rates without something approaching to Bankruptcy. What is the radical end and object of the Foor Rates ?—The maintenance of the infirm. and she poor—Of those who have no property nor the . mess of acquiring subsistence. Now. how' in this to be done but by a levy on the property of the Coinmu-i nity ?—lf the nature of property has changed since the Poor Laws were first devised : if pe new species of property has since leenxreatetl—irth at any reason why a mode of collection devised when we had none of this species of property shnuid still be continued ? That the only species of property then in existence should be that ahem which should supw.rqaitnain the Poor ? The proposition carries absurdity on its front. The claims of the poor and the destitute are, in the nature of things, not on this or oa that kind of property only, but atm property generally,: and the boon'should be regulated by the principles of equity and justice. It is not the demand of a robber, but the claim of the distressed and sick members of a fa mily to support from his kindred while he is in dis tress. Now what would we think of two brothers left as the natural protectors of the destitute, un provided orphans of another brother or a sister ...4 4 1 one derivim a small income from his Farm. the other a large revenue kepi the Inds.. We ask what would be [said of the humanity and jitstice of the latter. were be to argue thus : " My in come is derived from the Stocks—yours from Agri culture, and therefore you alone must maintain our sister's children. I will not contribute one farthing ?" Again—Who is tile Stock-holder ? The man who has made enough to enable him to retire from the risks of improvements and of commerce.— While exposed to these dangers, he was bound to maintain the poor. Now that he has realized a lot : tune, and is better able than ever to contribute to their support, he claims to be exempted I—This in ju.tice ought not to be suffered to continue any longer I SLAVE TRADE. We are concerned to find that this inhuman and pow illegal traffic is still pursued in some quarters where it might have been thought that the fear of that punishMent which follows a disregard of British laws, might have prevented it. We learn by letters from the Mauritius, dated !Bth December last, that, by the exertions of a British cruizer, some detestable slave-traffizkers in that Colony have been detected in their diabolical outrages against the natives of Ma dagascar and Misambique. The Mosque sloop of war, since het short arrival, has captured the schooner Petite Antic, under Eng lish colutus, front Madagascar, with 14! Africans on board ; the Joseph and Zephyr loggers, under Eng lush cullurs, the one with 80, the other with 101 Negroes en b. , ard ; and the schooner Helen, under French colours, with 158 on board. NVe had tliclught that the example of the Tyne would have been deci sive; bust unless the 1 7 ,•10ny I. iw be strongly en forced, nothing will prevent a risk, which, if succesi lul, is extremely profitable. FRENCii PAPERS. We have, since our last, received the Paris Paper; to the 21st instant. The following are Extract, : PARIS, MARCH 19. To-day the Duke of Orleans took leave of the King, the Duchess of Angoaleme, and the Princes. Ilis Serene Highness set out for London this evening at seven o'clock. The Duke will return to Paris early in April, and bring with him the Duchess and all their children. M Ault 19.—The Grand Duke Nicholas of Russia I ye.terday at Calais from England. General I aurislon was sent to Calais to compliment his highness on the part of his Majesty. The Duke of Wellington set oil to-day for Mau. beuge to meet the Grand Duke. The. Pope has restored to the Republic of San Ma rino, situated in the heat t of t:te Papal States, its full and entire independence. The Republic has caused thu Decree of his Holiness to be engraved on marble, and set ts? on the frontiers. MARCH 20.—A letter from Madrid states, that the Clergy having put in their slaisn to be exempted' from paying the duties on salt, and to be placed on the same looting with the poor in this respect, the King has declared his displeasure at the request, and ordered them to pay the same price for their salt as other persons. Yestes day his Majesty presided at a Council of his Ministers, and seemed in excellent htalth and spirits. A new pamphlet has been seized at the printer's, entitled " Carnot." Pickard, the author, and Member of the Institute, at the age of 75, yesterday married Miss Nezel, aged 17. What adds to the singularity, and perhaps immorality of the match is, that the young girl is grand-daughter to Pickard's first wife. MADRID, MARCH s. The property of Don Emanuel Godoy, Prince of the Peace, is still under sequestration, and is promised to be thrown into the Sinking Fund, for the relief of the finances of the State. There are no appearances of the sailing of the ex pedition for America under the orders of the Count d'Abisbal, nor of the arrival of the expected galleons at Cads/. - - - The King has just nominated Don Michael de Castro Captain-Gmeral of the Province of Yucatan, in South America ; and many other officers to various employmeuu in this part of our Colonies. The falling off in the duties of Excise has been progressive during the present quarter. It is stated to be upwards of itoo„Ooo. It appears that there are still between six and seven hundred outstanding appeals against assessments un der the Income Tax. Papers relating to the much disputed mission to Lisbon have been presented to the House of Commons. From these it appears that Mr. CANNING was, in the first instance, to be allowed £8,200 as his regular ambassaJotial appointment, with £6,000 a.year as eats aordinaries; that be received at this rate for three quarters a a year, up to July, 1815, exclusive of cer tain losses from the course of exchange and paper money ; but that for the quarter from July to Octo ber, 1815, he received upon a new and more moderate scale of his own proposing, by which the Ambassador should only have the old allowance of £8,200 paid up to him, free iron: all deductions: he has obtained in net receipts about £l2OOO. _ Among the numerous retrenchments in contempla tion, is the abohtion of the Naval Asylum, for which Parliament has for some years made an annual grant, but which is net intended this year. The . grant last year was .120,464. .Tbe Finance Committee have, it is said, come to a determination to recommend the abolition of the office of Auditor of the Exchequer, held by Lord Gastivu.z.z. The Montreal paper of the Bth ult. mention, that articles of impeachment have been presented against two Judges of the capital of tI4 capital of Canada, for malversation, injustice, and oppression. The ousel of the Judges are —lfni, the Chief, and. Charla foschee l ono of the Ptah= Judges. FLANDERS MAIL. This morning a flattish Mail arrived at the Pest Odic:. His Imperial Hi7hness the Archduke Ntatotits arrived at Brussels on Wedneslay last. He resides with his illustrious brother-'n•law. The question of Droit dt Tu. on the Scheldt is ne t finally settled. This vexatious toli began to be levied on the 20th of February, and so late as the 17th inst. paid eighty francs on four pipes of rum. Another question, which may lead to important results, also occupies the public mind at Brus•els—_ the claims of the Clergy to exemption from se.tily jurisdiction. It might have been thiught that the time for such arrogant pretensions was past every where but in Rome and in Spain ; but a pamphlet has just made its appearance in the Netherlands, en titled t‘ On Me Immunity of Ecclesiastics," in %lath it is maintained, that " the tempetai power is not, nor can be in away manner the judge of Ecclesoastics." The class with v.::;eh this production orii,;inates may be easily recogn:zed by the tollosi ing specimen of ecclesiastical arro,zance Sge with in. difference, in the ands of the Laity, ..sid ei;nfounded w i t h t h e common people, a IV shell, oxia is superior so all authority."—ln England, tlie Arronot.s-GLNeum would administer a little wholestini.i .lisi.iptitie to any fellow who won't,' dare thus is (teach up against the Pigher rowers.

The BarLary Pirates again disturb the Metli:•rz nean. We frequently hear of them having givea chace to vessels in different directions. A report is spread that it is the intention of the Government to forbid in future, the publishing of the names cf individuals, comprehended in the category of heretics. Yesterday Lord CLANCARTY and suite embarked at Dover for Calais, on board the King George Packet, Captain KING. Advices have been received from Canton to the 9.6 th of November, which is one week later than the intelligence previously received. The Embassy had not returned to Canton at that date, nor had ci trade experienced any interruption in coriseglaeto:i: recent events. PUGILISTIC CHALLENGE.
