After ten years of a war unexampled in its circumstances, unexampled ia the efforts we had made, we had 10,000,0001. of war taxes unmort. gaged, and a Sinking Fund of 13 or I 1,000,00J1. What must be the effect throughout Europe of this flourishing state of our finances, coupled with the ability to carry on the war, on its present scale of (w -pence, for Blur years certainty, and probably for six years, without additional taxes. No period could be more favourable than the present moment to resort to this measure. What events might arise in Europe from the present situation of affairs, it was inipossible for him to foretel ; hut from the great efforts and gloritruslaccessos of Russia thio•geetat ee..- . suit had arisen, namely,tthe destauetion'of what etas' i called the Continental *nem. That restem it was impossible for Bouaparte again to establiih; Russia having at all events secured her own indepentlenie. i Here then was a great opening for them-women:elle& the industry of the country, and to give them scope to expand, without the pressure of any - additional. burdens, was one .great advantage of the pretest' measure. His Lnolship. concluded by 'noting 111. 1 , tat.' CO.l a reading of the Bill,. .

Ile was dia.! He • then bestowed very high praise on . a Werk,lty posed to agree in every praise to the institution of I Dr. Hamilton, on subjects of finance, which wiiiild j the Siuking Fund, end to Mr. 'Pitt for the establish- I afford much new and importaet light to.all thole who 1 mein of it ; but the more be considered the manner I would direct their attention to subjects of this ors in which the Sinking Fund had been pledged to the ture. He not only differed from the Noble Lord oli., public creditor, the more he IS as. impelled to ohjezt I posite and his - Noble Friend on the general principlei to this measure. •It was not, he eontended, by a l but also on the points discussed this night. Fro ni , Reral construction of Acts of Parliament, that this the details given:by tlie ' Noble Earl, he diel-not think Bill could be supported, but the met object was tol the measure in conformity with the principles of the lake care that the security of the public creditor was Acts of 1786, 179:1, or 1802. But he thought that oebstatitiatly maintained. That security was two- the Government, on account of the unprecedented j fold : the positive •secitrity for the re-payment, and demands of the times, were called upon now to make the implied pledge that the commodity of the free- use of the Sinking Fund. Though in this respect he holder should he bought in the market regularly and agreed with the Noble Earl, yet there were Where in , progiessively by the men sent into the market for welch he coincided with hie Noble Friend Whim i ' c.at purpose by Government.. With respect to the him. There was a fallacrin''estying that , tfiis plait a: ~,,,ot of the Sinking Fund, as compared with that was calculated to give relief . to the public... e • : :I:' debt, the Noble Lord had said that it would 'fbe Commissioners -of .the, Sinking Fund, or it I t. 1-:., htter this meuSure, larger in proportion than it deed of any Sinking Fond, could never have sixpenda ti: ! neon in any preceding year ; but the Noble I Earl that wads not taken out of the pockets of the peopl' ? had untitled to Male, that during the four rears the The Noble Lord., after, stating some instances i j debt would I'e increasing at the rate of 28,0tX),0001. which the principle hoisted upon by the advocat I per antionv;• by which the proportion of the Rink - leg farrihesaoredttess of the Sinkinelund'of 1792 ha I Fund to the debt argued upon by the Noble' Feel I been departed from by.hir. Pitt, and by others, pt." I would be completely destroyed. Titus, therefore I ceded to point outhow much preferable to the pro. he contended, the security of the public creditor was , position before the House, it would be to allow the materially atlectid by the present measure .. Could ' Commissioners fin the ,redemption of the National it he considered as the same thing, or as consistent Debt, to sell out 28 millions of stock, and pay the with the implied security given to the public crediter y :produce to the Minister, which would be a saving tit that his debt being to he redeemed within a given Oe- the psiblit of the bonus upon the Loan. But „at.; rioil, olessrr sum was to he applied to that redraw- though disapproving of the Minister's plan, and lion at one part of the period, and a larger semi at conceiving? adverse to the principles of the existing i another. Was it not, on the contrary, the very laws upon the subject of the Sinking Fund, yet he ! spi r it o f that implied contract, that the stem to be would contend that it involved no breach of faith to ; applied to the redemption should he applied: pro- i the public creditor; the Sinking Fund being a reel.; gressitely, and in a certain fixed and regular proper- I lotion for the public good, without any reference to lion ! In this view of the subject, his objection was, 1 the interest of the public 'creditor. In fact, it ap- ° that this measure took Assay from that implied secu- peered to be so regarded by the public creditor him- rity a the public creditor, and by &Creasing the re. self; for what consideration had any public creditor gular progresiive redemption of- his °debt, rendered gireit or shown for this 'Fund since the year 92?-1 his commodity of less value in the market. He then None whatever, and this proposition the Noble Lord j proceeded to the consideration of the plan proposed, illustrated by referring to the comparative interest ! referring to the statement (that of the Chancellor of upon the'3 per Cents. in Which Loans are usually' . the Exelteguia) %%Inch had been put into - his nod I contracted, arid the 5 per Cents. in which Navy their I ordships' bands. From that statement the Bills are usually funded. From this difference he argument divithd Itself into two parts. The first re- argued in support of his opinion, as to any claim of lilting to the right a hicit the public had of laying its right to the Sinking Fund, on the part of the public hands on the Sicking Fund ; and the second to the creditor. No Minister would; therefore, in his expediency of putting that right into execution. He' judgment hare done his duty who should decline to .I then made a few observations on part of the state-' render that fund: subservient to the °public sertice, i ment alluded to, particularly that part,-' where it and he could not help expressing his surprizej was said, that the debt created in 1786 whs dlthorg- at the grounds upon which a different course ed by t..e Sinking Fund of 1792. The Noble Earl was recommended, particularly considering. the (Liverpool) next, in his speech, adverted to the Act' quarter from which the recommendation proceed.' of 1792, and he must, for himself, say, that he was ed. For he found in a publication from 'a I always ready to give to that Act his entire epproba. Gentleman of some eminence (alluding, as we firm. The Noble Lord had said, that no possessor onderstood, to Mr. Ileskissoti), who agreed with of a Loan ever considered the one per cents. as at- him (Lord Lauderdale) on certain main princi. I tacked to that loan only in which he was concerned ; plea, a suggestion rather to increase the War Tuxes I they had been attached to the loans ever since the than thus to touch the SiniiingFund. Really, one I Act of 1702. The Act of 1802 did tint disturb the could hardly read without astonishment, such a prb-1 expectations of the public creditor, but the present , position from this tiutbor, who hid for some time I measure was likely to do so. It was not now right I maintained that the source of permanent taxi-' to transfer the one per cents. to the Sinking Fund of I tioneras dried up; and how then, consistently;) 1786 ; they ought to be left to'accmpulate, instead could he urge an augmentation of the War Taxes; I of being applied, as was now proposed. When con, for the source of both was pretty nearly thel sidering the adrnittagesalleged to be derived froth the same?

But did the.

But weremillitans had been added to our public debt.

If not, the argument in the statement wai worth: elation of that paper • which was *now our circu little.

'Yet . The argument on this point went to say, the more I such were the Circumstances under'which an asseiter . ee sae into debt at present, the move we extend out 'of the depreciatinu of paper, pressed the propriety Joints, thebetter shalt we be able hereafter to'stritpoil data Increase of taxes, .rather than to touch the , dntr ;her a l ienate., and to par ear taxes, nista* 'Sinking Fund; as its truth; having himself alwa y s Peace . Utrecht commencement Of the .American War, the ..siuct.lone( our public debt did not exceed eight noillibne;' wilereas it could be shown, upon the belt infonnation and most authentic (loco rnents, that that reductioolunoueted to twenty.three millona. The Noble Lord, after declaring -that .be was one et those erbo held all plans of financerery cheap, the oily plea truly and permanently effectual in his judgment being a plan of general unqualified public'econorey, proceeded to animadvert. upon the conduct of Ministers as to their mode of introducing tilt measure. They ought, in his opinion, to have Arteptr i thae'which, he believed, Mr. Pitt would have ',emenely, to have brought before Parliament a fell and coteplete discussion of the financial state of r the country, before they admitted an arrangement -of such importance. The Noble Lord concleded with remarking upon some clauses of the Bill, which 'he said he should take another opportunity of more fully noticing.. Lord SI DMOUTH deprecated the doctrine of the ~Noble Earl who spoke last, that the public. creditor .-had no lien upon the funds, from which he (Lord-S.) *maintained there was a solemn contract, bidding the public to pay that creditor within forty,five years Ifrom the period at which he had advanced his money for the public use. Tire contrary, indeed, of what i the Noble Earl asserted was implied in the several I engagements entered into with public creditors, in the several statutes applicable to the subject ; and latch had been the uniform understanding of all pub tic men with whom ha had ever communicated upon the matter, and particularly of all those whom he had known to have any share in his Majesty's. COOll. cils.—The Noble Viscount then went into an 4 1 2- planation of the Act of 1802, the effect of which was calculated to accelerate the redemption of the debt existing previous ts, 1786. He afterwards stated • the reasons which had iuduoed him, in 1802, to make the •alteratictee with respect to the Sinking Fund, which then took place. The sum of 56 mil lions was charged on the Income Tax by the Acts of 11708, 1799 1 and 1800. If the war bad continued for 45 years, there would have been no responsible ° fund for the liquidation of that debt. lie next pro ' ceeded to defend the proposed_ measure. He asked i tbem whether it would not be more just to the na- Ilonal creditor to take the measure now, than after difficulties sheuhl occur ? Without underrating the resources of the country, he would put it to them if the difference la the amount of taxes to be imposed. between the peopetsed plan, and the existing system, I was not ft most important consideration with regard to the best interests of the country? The fortitude and patience of the country would be put to the severest trial, if the existing system should be longer continued. lie had yet seen no eater plan by which we might be enebled to carry on our present exer j irons, the necessity of which all were agreed on. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE and Lord LAU DEit DA.LE explained ; after which the question was !Agreed to, the Bill reed a second time, and ordered I to be Committed to-morrow (tiiiiday).—Adjourned. irdered•L thatch of Map. i• • oeflitilfrireMP PPLT.

Still, when the Noble Lord used tc- word re gulations, he had hoped that he had alludad to some interior regulations likely to produce the happiness of the people of that country, and their cordial al liance and friendship with us. Lord CASTLEREAGH said, that it was well known that there was v. basis of a Constitution laid down in Sicily, whic'a promised to produce impor tant effects for the happiness and prosper's'' , of the island. He was sal nine enough to believe that it -would be productive of important good. At the same time he must say, that it was the wish ef,Go vernment to interfere n' little as possible with the in ternal affairs of any oth•u• country. After a few more observations from Mr. WHIT BREAD; the Resolution was passed untaimously. Mr. FITZGERALD brought forward several Resolutions for the Sopplies wanted for the service of Ireland. The first as f i a sum of 32,0051. for the Rotor! of Public Work*, which, after a short conversation, was agreed to. • A sum of 23, 0001 . was also voted for Stationery. The third Resolution was, that 10,5001. shoolil be granted for the expense of printing Proclama tions: Sir HENRY PANNELL rose to Oppose this Re (solution, He Considered that this sum was not at all wanted, as the Proclamations might in Irelundbe as well published he the Gazette at in • tiAk4enntry.-..:- ThllaCt'vrii; this of 10,5001. was a sum completely at the disposal' of the Irish Government for the purpose of influencing - the Irish press.. No , Proclamation was eier published its any Newspaper that was not entirely devoted to the Government, and some of those papers owed their existence to the proportion of this sum which the Government gave them. A, Newspaper that was tolerably independent would consider it _a degradation to insert a Govern ment Proclamation. Those that did insert them, were. ready to do any worklhat was prescribed to them for the Government, and Were particularly remarkable for their vittiperatiOn elite Catholic Botly„and of every one who advocated their cause. If the Committee voted ,this 10,5001, it by no means followed that the Irish Government would be content with that; they would take 'whatever more they wanted for this purpose out •of the Vole of Credit. Ile opposed" the resolution as entirely unnecessary, and as only giving to the `lrish Government the means of corrupting a part of the Irish press. • Mr. FITZGERALD &feuded the Resolution, on the ground of its being a customary vote, and main tamped, that from th e local circumstances of Ireland, publication of the. Proclamations in the Gazette would not be sufficient. Mr WHITBREAD thought the vote unnecessary', for he supposed all the public papers would be 'anxions to insert Prbeaniations, utsiess patticular papers were choseh for that purpose: he would not say that Government eserted any impropor influence over those papers, but the vote would give them the HOUSE OF COMMONS.
