THE STATESMAN; 'IP FRENCH PAPERS. • VIRNNA, JAN. 9. • [EXTRACT FROM A PRIVATE LETTER.) gg The rumours of war have soddenly subsidetk-- It is with pain we have heard some of oar military, animated no doubt by the love of glory, expressing strong hopes of war. Already they expected to be able to announce that which constitutes the terror of nations : but happily both the Sovereigns and their Ministers detest war, which would at once accom plish the ruin of their finances and the misery of their subjects. One may be sure that they will know how to avoid it. I ?ok !..._ . a a I or k he :e. h - er , ne )1e re PROPERTY TAX. LIVERPOOL TOWN-lIALL MEETING. VrISCLUDED PROM OUR PAPER OP YESTERDAY.] . GLADSTONE stated in reply, that his letter to the Editor of the Morning Chronicle was confined to the paragraph in question, and that be again had no hesitation in stating that he considered the Contents es false and malignant ; that Mr. Shepherd had brought no evidence to support the _statement he had made to show that Mr. Gladstone had received such a letter as the paragraph described, and therifore as •the public had no right to calf for private letlirs ad _ _ . - • If three parcels, directed to be left till a .01, 1)7 charging four-pence for each parcel, whereas the Act only allows two-pence.

For to what does it . tend ? Why, to mix me with the composition of a London Editor, in ‘which I have already stated LAO 'NTT LLIGENCE. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Jaw. St DYOTT 0. DUNN. The Defendant, who was held to hail under a Judge's order for 1,5001., made an application to justify bail to that amount, in order to be dis charged. Mr. ABBOTT objected to it under the peculiar cir cumstances of this case. The action was for Grim. Con. and the Defendant was held to bail under the order of a Judge for 1,5001. The cause was, how ' ever, tried since that time, and the Jury had found verdict for the Plaintiff with damages 6,0001. — The judgment, it is true was not yet signed, and, therefore, strictly speaking, the Defendant was in custody only in mesne process, until the fourth day of this Term, when he might be charged in execu tion; so that until Friday he might be liberated on ,finding bail ; btit he submitted to the discretion of the Court, that they could not now let him go at large upon giving bail for 1,5001. when there was a verdict found to the amountof 5,0001. The Comm said, this was a novel case, but they thought that as a Jury had estimated the damages at 5,0001. it wig a guide for the discretion of the Court, and that, therefore, they should require the bail to be in that amount. The bail being called, could not justify in &it amount.. Mr. TOPPING afterwards moved for a new trial in the cause, grounded on several affidavits, in which the Defendant stated, that being incustody, he could net procure the attendance or several material witnesses, and therefore the cause was taken as an undefended cause. The affidavits of other persons also disclosed several material facts for the Defendant, particularly that the Plaintiff and his'wife lived iu a state of sepa ration. The Court granted a rule nisi, and added, that as there were now some grounds to question the pro priety of the Verdict, if a new trial should be granted, it ought no longer to stand as the measure of the bail to be required, and thererore the Defendant in that case should be allowed to justify bail to 1,5001. only. . _ . have had no participation. This is an attempt 'to call me into question for matters in which I have had no concern. Nor can I comprehend the nature of these public private, or private public letters, which are shown to a dozen of persons, and now are pro posed to be shown iu se.recy to two or three more. Mr. Gladstone has possession of the letters. Let him produce them in public, and I will meet him on any question in which my actual conduct is involved.— Bat I will not go before any private tribunal. My conduct is before the public, and by the public alone wilt I consent to be judged. Mr. GLADSTONE then begged leave to say a few words upon the immediate question. He knew that any thing he couldjay favourable to the continuance of the tax would be very unpopular, but still he felt convinced, from the necessitiei of the State, that it would be politic to continue it one year longer. He allowed that the tax was inquisitorial, and frequent ly very oppressive, but he could not agree in so dark a description of it as that given by the Learned Gen tleman who hid proposed the Resolutions and Peti tion. He could not irdsglne how it was possible that any public measure which had been passed into a law, by the constituted Authorities of the realm, King, Lords, and Commons, could be unconstitu tional. He would not, indeed, enter the lists with Mr. Venables upon the subject, but he thought every law made by the Government must be consonant to [ the Constitution. The tax might be grievous its many instances, but it partook of many wise properties. — It did not subject a labouring man to its effects at all, sinless he earned more than 30s. a week, and he believed that in Liverpool, which contained about 1100,000 inhabitants; there were little more thats 3000 people who piid the tax upon income. It had, been mentioned as a substitute for that tax, that the Assessed Taxes might be tripled, and it was contend ed that the pressure would thereby be more equally? distributed, but he could not help doubting the accu racy of that Alt; 'excuse many persons possessing Sha le property °leery ' eat t slue, would be assessed it thesame rates: " 1 houses in populous parts Wf a great totei-WWI e r 4 Limit MX. were routed ♦4- ~ „;..usiu.i : . ~~~ -J 00004.414111104-.•frAMO"' . le ;/ ~. re text for the enormous pension given to Mr. -- „ I va havedirected him to proceed to Madrid to that believe the affairs of Saxony are settled.
