NAVY FIVE PER CENTS. TO TILE EDITOR OF TILE STATESMAN.

The es. p•tuatio• of being 'Arid, therefore, will be precisely in proportion to the number who subscribe—that is to ▪ 100.000,0001. agree to take 41 instead of 5, the Chancellor will more easily and readily pay off the 41,000,0001.; but if the reverse, his difficulty will be greater. Government is playing a sure ga foe, for it will gain by all who do nothing, and most manage as well as it can with the rest ; but is say the worat to those who bold no in Navy, when they are paid in cash, they would net lose if they could buy 4 per Cents. at 951, . ant as Stork is like every commodity, the more thrown into the market the greater the depreciation its price; so spite of all the bop@ held out by kiloliters (who bare an object in view)! coticeive 4 per Crate. may fall aftsr they bare succeeded in their plan.

Ilse Crown appears by Conosel es a third party in civic tenses be tween subject and sehject) ordered this cants tube heard with closed doors. From this eireemetaitee may be inferred what the French Government think of the feeling of the people of Paris. FRENCH FUNDP, Fss. 22.—Fireper Cents.B.f, bee. Bank Stock, 1580 f. [Sunday's Journals quote the closing prise on the preceding day as above ; but private letters state it at 91 francs.] The debate in the Hons. of Peers, last night, is more than usually interesting. It is plain that Lord LIVERPOOL had ap,died all the industry fur which he is distinguished, in a laborious search after argn mentc, to chew that taxation has nothing to do iwith the present Agricultural distresses; and that. there fore, redaction of taxes is no remedy. His Lordship observed, that low prices of the produce of land, and ronsegnent Agricultural distress, pervaded all EttroPP ; and therefore concluded, that excess of taxation could not be the f the distress. lint that is not a nteessary inference. We are more burthena with taxes than other countries; hut all Oovernments over-'ax their puhjevs, although not in the same de gree as that of England, and therefore the universal AgriCultural Distress may be occasioned by taxation. It has n been said, however, that excess of tax ation is the only cause of the distress of the far. am. Excess of rent is also a cause. Bat the relief which farther reduction of taxation will give, ought to be administered by the Clovers 'bent, even if the Landowner is •ignorant enough to withhold the remedy w►ich lies in his hand, by the reduction of rents. And reduction of rents will come of sere:lily; for ' —lCsueiag a ll m. an*, 7.

His Loa ship urged another argument to prove that tax ation is not the cause of Agricaltural Distress.- 1 " Agriculture" (he said) " was most thriving daring the last years of the war; since which time, taxes hare been reduced." His lordship forgot, or kept out ca l sight, a small circumstance which snakes this argot. went fall to the ground.—Our mesa: were greater (luting the war than now, and, therefore, taxation is, comparatively, heavier now than it was then, although some taxes have been taken off oar shoulders. Lord Lovearoot. says—. What the agriculturist wants, is a market; unless you give him that, you administer no relief to his wants ; and what effect could the ream thou of the expenditure have in effecting this object ?" nut it is not so market which th e f armer wants nocany higher price. He sells corn and cattle eailarb, aid for price enough ; all be wants is, that lois oattleg should he so reduced that the present prices should enable him to live. There are but tirtse ways el reducing bis outlay-,-one is, by reductions. r his rent; the secoakrialesiemofiaxes ; 401-11100104- (but, after all, not the least) a reduction of his pia sonal and family expenses. The Laud-owes, nate his part, in reducing his rest: the Farmer (we treat) will no longer neglect Isis, in reducing his personal expenditure : and Ministers we also teat, will be, at length afraid (if it cannot be ashamed) of shrinking from theirs. We may 'sic Ministers--why Land-owners hear the hurtles of reduction of rest, 'and Government refose its share? But if rents and taxes were duly redneed, the result would he this— prices of Agricultural produce would be low. and Manufacturers and Merchants would fairish. and rite present prices would meanwhile remunerate the Pat. mer. We know, Lord Liviritroot boasted of the pros. perity of our commerce and manufactures; and tase Duke of ficcurnauaat bad the courage to go vas beyond his Lordship in hie boasts.

The EXCVIS of TAXATION is not only a cause of Agricultural Distress, but is a cause of wretcheilaas to every class, and every rank, in the community, excepting neither the Lord, nor the man who makes his Lordship's shoes. • The tueaaares for restraining the periodical press in France, lea given oceavio■ to the following remark of the Courier Fraseais, which is well worth the atten tion not only of the French Government. but of Go vernments in general :•-11efore the 14th ofhtly, there masted but two j Is, the Gazelle de France and the Journal de Paris, stud they were prohibited from treating of what passed in the National Assembly.
