Un the motion of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCIIEQVER. t h at the 11. use should resolve itself into a Committee, to coo- Wei farther of the supply to be granted to his Majesty, Mr. WHITBREAD rose, and said it was not to be doubted, that ' some communication would be made on the very extiaord e itia u r n. y events which hail recently occurred, and the p ar t w hi c h this o try meant to take in tin m. The Right Hon. Gentleman had pro. posed to defer the consideration of the assessed taxes till Monday next; but he wished to know, whether there was any fimodation for the rumour, that the Right Hon. Gentleman intended to abaft don those taxes, and to resort to the Tax on Income. The CHANCELLOR oldie ExciregoErt said. that a communica tion would shinny be made to the House of the step* which his Royal Highoess the Prime Regent had been advised to take. and as far as lie could then jodge, Wednesday next would be the Oay, Mr. WHITBREAD could not suffer thit opportunity to escape without expressing his most fervent hope, that the Declaration which was stated to hare been published by the Allied Sovereigns at Vienna was an infamous forgery, •and that the gre4t mantes which appeared to be affixed to it were without authority. The Noble Lord (Castlereagh) had assumed to himself the whole exercise of the Executive Government, but it was utterly impossible that it could have been assigned to the Duke of Wellington. Lord Cath cart,Loid Clancarty, and Lord Stewart. and that they sere autho. rised to recommend assassination, or to declarr.war against any state or poletitAte in Europe. • The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, that the declaration did- not in ally degree tend to provoke, assassination Mr. %Viler BREAD observed, that lie hod mead a publication yester day (in a Sunday paper) which referred to i hat dr elaiatian as &ills. tificatirm for assassinating the Emperor of Frunce. :Die wilier had also referred to a detate in another place,'where,a Noble Friend of his had protested against such aborsinalde duettists-a, and the Mar quis Wellesley had expressed his complete abhurreuee of these_ He (Mr. W.) had formerly delivered his opinions on that sidOact, and the late Mr. Perceval who soon after Irecame a victim to aatiassina lion, had disclaimed any participation in such sentiments. This declaration, however, had already produced the effect of oursheatli ing the dagger of the assassin, as the writer of the article to which he had alluded recommended a certain pet sou to ossaasinite parte, and called in aid this very deelaratton. The ('riANceLLoR of the EACH E.QuER said; the Howse would find that his Majesty's Ministers lead not departed from the princi ples of the late Mr Pereeeal. With respect to the declaration pub lished by the Congress at Vienna, it cootained evelythiog honour.. able, loyal, and proper. It was then resolved, that the House should resolve itself into a Committee, of Supply on Wednesday next, Mr. Win rtHEAD rose again. and said, that as- the Right Hon. Gentlemen) had contended that the declaration contained nothing but what was honoarahle and propel, he begged to know whether the Right lion. Gently man intended to include that part among the other comiunnications rabid, he meant to make to the House, and also whether lie would prorinee the notliority which had been given to the Duke of Wellington to iiign that declaration. The CitaNceu.on of -the Exeuvrausn.--." These is nothing , n t the declaration which recommends assassination, or any other thi ng improper." -Mr. WHITBREAD.—" So then the Right Hot'. theHous e.
