Stn—l was much surprised and disgusted on read ing an article in Belts Weekly Messenger cf the 15th of March last, which asserts that " If a direct tax be taken off, (the window tax, for example,) the people manifestly gain the whole of what is sacrificed by GO: verument. The Government give up 17s. per window, and as 6; housekeeper has no longer to pay it, he necessarily saves the whole 17s. But when as indi rect tax is taken off, (the leather or salt tax for ex ample), the whole of it, or nearly the whole, goer to Pie dealer, and it nine cases out of tar, the consumer, or in other words the public, gainubsolutdynothing." I heg to ask the writer, if Government were to take off four-pence duty from his newspaper, whether be would be able to sell it for the same price, " or nearly so," and that no deduction whatever could take place, by the removal of this tax. Dots he sup pose there is no competition in trade? does he sup pose, if Government were to take off 15s. a bushel of salt, which would reduce the price to one halfpenny a pound at the salt works, that the retailer of salt would charge 41d. a pound for it, "or nearly so." Does he suppose, if Government were to take 4s. a pound off tobacco, which would reduce the price at the manu facturers to one halfpenny per ounce, that the retailers to the poor would charge fourpeoce per ounce, ..nr nearly so." Such absurdity only need to be exposed; it will ronfate itself. Bat I suppose I shall be told, that tobacco is a luxury that the poor do not need ; lin answer to this, I say, If the poor are not to be al lowed to use tobacco, it would be of very little use for Government to impose a duty upon it; for in every country village, I venture to assert, that seven-eighths of the consumption are by the poor ; a quid of tobacco' to a poor man, is the class of grog of the farmer, and the claret of the nobleman. I agree with the writer, " that if landlords were to reduce their rent, (and, I add) the clergy their tythe, and the Government to remit a great part of the tax on the comforts sod necessaries of life, to enable them r, to do, " all would be well." But while 800 millions of capital (which compose the fonds) and re quire a taxation to pay its interest, greater than all the rents of all the land and houses in the kingdom, escape the maintenance of the poor, and the clergy, aril in a great message the-support of Gocernment, all cannot be well. I have (Hey oar more observation to make. 1 beg, to ask the writer of the article, and every other impartial person, if Government at the conclusion of the peace, had proposed to have kept un the old property tax, (objectionable as 1 or knowledge it was, and required a modification) and to have proposed the taking off fourteen isiillii‘n of t a xes imposed on the comforts and necessaries of life, if he thinks the euuotry would.have been in the dis tressed state it ot.w is, as it regards the agriculturists and their dependent tradesmen. But the Government proposed to keep on the property tax, in addition to all other berthers, which certainly could not be com plied with, awl therefore was most jastly thrown out at the time by a majority of the Mouse of COIIIIRIOIIII. itssex, March iS, JOHN DULL. .ors—ogrictiltural and parliamentary reform. The first involved conse quences of b ibs last importance—the preservation of that small portion of property yet left out of the ge swat rain that 00000 ended them ; while the second to- volved the preservation of their rights and liberties— nay the very existence of the oonststution itself.—(Ar planse.) He expressed his surprise and regret that, ir -this !amenable state of things, the country gentlemen ~did not come forward ; it was their apathy and Nige -1 warmness that gave ministers *a handle, which they failed not to use in stigmatising the petitions of the people. Lord Londonderry, when the Norfolk petitionl Ina presented in the House of Commons, said it did not represent the property and the intelligence of the eon oty, became he did not see an y grea t names attached to it; and in lint, that it did not-express the collective wisdom of the county ; which, was es much as to sr y that all who had not had an university education, pr who did not possess three or four tboosaad s .year, coold not speak common sense, or with etteseson honesty. ' . a wa -- "raot a poor do* liO warned the farmers that their distresses wore but as coming on, that nothing could bring en increas e d p r i ce o f corn; the hope of which had deluded them for t h e l as t seven years, entailing destruction on th e ir property. H e , Mr. H., then told the country gentlemen, that if t he delusion was continued , they would shortly receive no rents; the clergy would get no trade, the labourers 11, Writeilftrin ao employment; nor the shopkeeper trade; and they would generally find that such was now the case.— As to the hiring fainters, pour fellows,- they were now qeite out of the question, their capital was already ab sorbed; and although the country gentlemen seemed so indifferent now, yet withont a reform in Parliament they usnst also be ruined. The worthy gentleman could compare the apathy which accelerated their ruin, to no thing but the infatuation of the crew of a sinking vessel, who, to get at the liquor, break open the stores, in or• der that they may go to the bottom in a stab's of inseasi hility.—(Appleuse.)—The present era and state of affairs in England might be compared to that of Egypt about four thousand years ago. Egypt, like England, was a corn country, particularly in the Delta, a sort of low country near the Nile, like s our fens, where the lands, from .the overflowing of that river, are particularly fee tile.. There happened seven years of plenty, and then seven years of famine. During the seven years of plenty the government bought up the corn. And when the fa mine came, the farmers were constrained to buy corn. of the government fur their sustenance; at first they purchased it with their money, but when their money was exhausted they purchased it with their cattle; when their cattle was gone they purchased it with their land; and when their hind was gone, to avoid starvation, they proetrated themselves at tl-o foot of the throne, IMPLOR IN° THAT THEY AND THEIR POSTERITY lIIIGET Hi PUR CHASED AS SLAVES, so that they had but bread to eat. The casexas exactly parallel now in England. For the first part of the last seven years the farmers have been expending their money in payment of rent, takes, and rates. Secondly, they were obliged to sell their stock —and what farm was now di more than half-stocked ? Thirdly, they have been-obliged to mortgage their land or sell it for what they could get. And lastly, must sur render their liberty by going to gaol or to a workhonse. Yet in this deplorable state of thing* Ministers, reclis ing on their bed of roses, turn a deaf ear to the com plaints of the people, and will not deign to afford relief. They will .sot see the distresses.of the country because they arc personally interested in :hem. There is an old proverb, that none arc so blind as those that won't see. Six years ago the ..ksicsiltural Society, alarmed at the then state of things, directed their secretary to send cir cular letters to such gentleman as were considered best left the country in a prosperous state—the subjects had soap ; however, to pray for relief from some oppression. The young King trail the opinion of Isis young friends, and disregarded the old advice of his father, and in an swer to the prayers of his sehjects, said, my father, chas tised yon with rods, but I mill chastise you with scor pions —the consequence was, that those subjects revolt ed, and the possession of the throne passed into other hands. The fall of the Jews is another instance. Ex cessive taxation Was tile cause of the fall of Rome—ex cessive taxation lost America to this country—excessive taxation caused the French Revolution—by excessive taxatioo the Dutch lost their liberty anti became subser-- vient to a kingly government. Excessive taxation. caused the disorganization of the government in Spain an.l prnsi.ieed the insurrection in Greece. To a reduc tiun of taxation therefore we must look for relief, for he thought that if any person considered the matter fully the conclusion must be, that excessive taxation is the sole cause of the distress.—Mr. H. concluded a speech remarkable for its clearness and perspicuity, by tracing this taxation to its true source, the corruption of the House of Commons ; for the Reform of which, if opinions could add weight to suck an argument, he • . • ._ - 4, . w --- • -.,, . • . t- - lit ii i, • . , IV V y VA., . . . ..1 ... i . • • • 4 . . .

He would ask what was the conduct of the House of Cootusons on the occasion? Instead of vindicating the rights of the peo ple, by punishing the magistrates ordering, or the sol diers executing, they immediately passed Acts to indem nify any magistrates that hereafter might act in a si milar manner from all imputation of wrong.— (Applause.)—He considered that the county mast feel grateful to the Sheriff for his readiness in calling the meeting, but he thought it hard the people should - be so restricted as to be under the necessity of applying to any man whether they might or might not meet together to discuss their grievances. Mr. Fox had said that the right of meeting andpetitioning must be preserved•; for • the maintenance of that right was more essential to the freedom of the country, than the maintenance of any other of our civil institutions; xnd that any encroachment of that right would be taking away the ladder by which England had ascended to her glori-tas height of civil liberty, that it would be like taking sway the branches and stripping off the bark from the tree, and thereby ca . • that tun to fall to desay. It had been said th► a re •rm in Parliament was a vile,. visionary, and ro mantic measure; but be would ask, was it so romantic or so visionary as the conduct of a man sent to Parlia ment to represent hundreds or thousands of persons, in stead of which, his only consideration was how to get back the hundreds or thousands of pounds which it had cost to get a seat there. Ministers had recently at tempted to vindicate their corruption, by asserting that unless they had a majority of votes (as it were at com mand) to support the influence of the crown, the go vernment could not be carried on; of this every body was aware, and also that it was not very desirable it should be carried on in the way it was at present.— (Great applause.)—A reform would alter the system en tirely, and the government might then be carried on without the Crown being under the necessity of main taining so expensive au influence; and was it not too much to see the property of the industrious farmer and others seized, and the pittance wrung from the hard earning of the labourer, to support a corrupt and profli gate government. The Hon. Gentleman concluded an eloquent appeal, amid the applause of the meeting, by declaring, that the only means of preserving the rem nants of their personal prosperity and the respectability of the country was a reform in Parliament. The Sheriff the. read over the resolutions and pets‘ Lion • .< At a Meeting of the Freeholders and Inhabitants of the County of Huntingdon, convened in consequence of ' a Requisition to the Sheriff of the said County, and held at the.
