Mr. WOOIitIOUSS said. he was not one of thoet what joined in the clantuurilig aglinst the Silt Tax, against the Coal Tax, and against various odic,' toxes--noy, unpopular as his largoage might be, he confessed that he would agree to ti o dified Property r eadilyTax--(Hear.—but be uld never support a tax, which, like the lottery, ereattd become, by encouragiug every species of wicked ness and crime. Mr. PLUNIIITT said. it was impossilde for hint to reconcile it to his feelings, as an honest man, to remain after the doctrine avowed by the Right Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Canning), and the mound in which the present motion was resisted by the Govetwood. Fur Ins won part, he had no lositatiror in declaring, that the lottery was cal dilated to produce criate--aud, by the operation of that crime, revenue was created. The Right Hosioureble Gentlemen (Mr. Cauning)--whose talents he admired—otiose feelings. lie believed, were aWtorreut from every thing bad—had treated this question iu an extraordinary way. He had overlooked the distinctions between virtue and vice. lie placed, in one scale, the IleCeS. eiy of the State, and, in the other, the crimes w t hich Itilluwerel front the tax—ered then he excleientd, " We must put up with the crime , 14. r w e waist the money."—(llear, hear, hear.) —Bat, lie a sked, wee there any moral feeling iii the Mouse ?—(l/ear, hear.) -11 there were, the criminality of the tax bring admitted, would they eititfer the Government to persist in its adoption ?

He begged io ask, whether any of the materials out of w Mai those taxes grew were criminal and vicious ? Ile admitted that all taxes which induced poverty. encouraged crime, in a certain degree. But this tax carted a vice within itself. It appeared to lout lint to he a question of revessue, but of morals —and the Minister' of the country, amidst their dilleirent duties, would find noise 1111 l re important, or 1111 l re worthy of their responsible situation, than that of vtoitiniig over the morale of the people.— (near, hear.) Loud Casit.EIITAGII denied that his Right Hon. 1 7 ricii.1 had admitted that the tax was CTltnlnal 111 11.0 1. .

H is Right Hon. Friend had paid, that the lottery sae a species or reSollKe which all civllistil Genvernments had batty. Wined—that it welt a mode of saiefig a crown por tion of revenue, which the highest Domes, the moist moral Uwe', had not . bjectrd in. lie alloisrd. that they wrgt t, es touch us lawailsk, to attend to the im prwrwrut of wurals—but these was a spurious, a false morality, at ;present in action, which went far beyond w h a t wise end piurlesit Into would aim at. If they employed themselves 1U tracing the amount of evil which might he produced by retry tax—if they punned the dictates of this retitled s o d sub limated morality—they would perhaps lose much of the strength told firmness of real virtue. Mr. F. Duista Las said, the House, lie hoped, would recollect, that it was conceded by Ministers that they had no other wiry of raising the sum Of 1.50.0001. 1111/11 by adopting a measure, which tended 111 solivett the ls of the country. A Right Hunouroble Ge otleinan (I.lr. Canning) challenged those who opposed this tax to find a substitute for it. They hail found substitute.; for it — they had done so, four years ago, when they proposed a diminution of the army—they bad flour so or' every occasion. when they called on Ministers to adopt some measure of retrenchment. it' their advice hail been taken. Ministers would trot now have been compelled t ot efend this tneasure on such weak arid futile gr ttls.—(fleer.)—The Right Hon. Gentleman had complimented the Chan cellor of the Excheq uer on his virtues, lord lotill complained. that an attempt had been made to cast ridicule upon hint. He (Mr. houghs.) did not meat; to ridicule those vetoes for %shirt) the private character of the Chancellor of the Exelie quer was said to he remarkable ; but he begged leave to observe, that, if such an 14ttriapt had been made, it was not peculiar to that Mole of the I louse from svhicli he spoke—for be believed the Right Hon. Gentleman who made the remark, hail often indulged in the saute propensity, at a time, indeed, when he visa not the colleague of the present nisters.--(flear, ireor.)--The Chancellor of the Exchequer, iii arguing this question. threw him self on the commiseretton of the House. Ile ad mitted all the evils to which the tax gave birth, hut he pleaded the neceesny of the State. The Bight Honourable Gentlemen rind the Noble Lord defended the measure. on the ground of its anti quity and its generality. But the Slave Trade was as old and as extensively patronised, before Eng land took the first step towards its abolition. mod declared that she would not be bound by precedent, where morality and justice were concerned. The Noble Lord said, that the drinking of spirits might produce all the evils which tense derived from this measure. Thu was very true. 'flie evil, in that case, however. flossed from the abuse—but the Lottery was dearly iiii evil in itself. When gam bling;-houses were licensed thinned, the tax was laid on the keepers of them; but here the Chancellor of the Exchequer was himself the keeper of the gambling-house, end received the profits for the use of the State.—(llear.) Mr. Wita.tasta condemned Lotteries, as en couraging the worst species of gambling—gambling amongst the lower orders of society. air. CANNltiti explained. An Hori. Member. whose name we could not collect, said, that although a residence of '25 years on the Coutineut might, in some degree. have af fected his fluency, his sentiments on the subject of Lotteries wits perfectly unaltered. He recollected bring asked by certain foreigners, in the year for She l 7 5, what price the public , in this country, paid Lottery. and what benefit they were entitled to reap from it ? On calculating, lie found, that the Lot tery in England cost the public about one-third. Ile then looked to the Genoese Lottery, which was introdneed into France, and oil which Mr. Professor Bertram. at 61111CV/1. had written a very curious trea tise. 'Phut Lottery cousisted of 90 numbers, of which five were drawn every month. and thus tive rinum bers, as combined o r taken separately, were pzes. This cost the public but one fit Ile next exa mined the Lottery of the liaose Towns, of Ger of Ssitzi distal. and he found the ex pense only one-tenth. Courperiiig this with the English Lottery, which coat one-third. Ministers could not maintain it un a financial principle. In Italy, the whole sum received was expended in prizes--and the ;tow p rizen claiming a , paid one tenth on receiving it at the office. The subject had been already so fully discussed, in a moral point of view, that he would not trouble the House with his sentiments on that head. Mr. RICARDO censured the Lottery system, as it had a pernicious titled on the lower orders of society, who were not able to resist a temptatiou, which evrii the law satichoned. Mr. TIERNEY said, lie would vote fur this motion, not because it wet brought forward by his Hon. Friend, or by any perso ro n who was in the habit of thinking as he did on ;political iubjects--but deli lwratdy, front the hest conaideration lie could give the subject. comet-nog the morals of the country with its financial urrangements. Ile con ceived so trifling a 1411111 as 250,000/. was badly, nut to say disgracefully purchased, by a measure which had so pernicious ma effect on the morals, cora fort, and peace of society. No $llllll was less wil ling to take from the resources of the country than lie was, knowing the greatness of the expenditure, 81111 oohing but the immoral effect of this tux could induce him to cull fur its abolition. The sum was trifling—and, if the ordinery loan fur the year were to lie 20,000,0001. there could be nu great difficulty in adding 450;000/. to it. The Right lint. Gentleman said, those who opposed the tax ought to find a substitute for it. That was not the case; but, if there were an addition of this kind hustle to the how, they certainly were bound not to oppose it. The President of the Board of Control surd, the light Hon. Geutleinvis war not to be charged with any evils that flowed from the Lottery system. He denied the positiou, fur Lot teries now were very different from whet they had berth The mine Hight lion. Gent. said, the Cllllll. tenor of the Exchequer would have no objection to withdraw Will shares. But he was sure the Right Hon. 61.61441 nm would not agree to any b111:11 thing. Wheat lie g reatly objected to was, that the Right Hon. Gentleman left the *flange anent of the Lotteries solely to the contractors, who we re ut liberty to d r a t out the p rizes jug as they thought fit. It way a railgplar thing. that 11111 was the uiely nivieure that had beets brought forward on winch his Majesty's Nlinisteis meted together. The question was, the morality of the country in one wale, and the money iti another. Oti this point Ministers were eel agreed. " Take the money," sold t h ey, " owl let u uirahity provide for itself's . ' But the ize— l cellor of the Exchequer had gained a great prChair e hail drewil a prize sno re pleasing to hoe than the .:41,1)01)i. —Ile hid excited the admire two of the President uf the Board uf Control.— (Laughter.)--Ife ivivised him, however, not to lie I too much e loieil—for he rather thought 64 it the Righi Gentleman embarked in that Little-go he wonlil hve to repent it.—(lleur. end lanyliter.) Mr. 11USKISSON defended the system on which the Lottery w4lll uuw conducted. Formerly the drawing occupied forty days, and gave a great op portunity for v.irrying on illegal pee• sent the period did nut exceed twelve der, mid thus the evil we in as great mealtime remedied.

The carriage driven by his coachman, Daniel Gower, and Louis Dew tiros, his footman, was behind. At the moment when the carriage approachsd the hotel, the exposion of fie-arms was lward, and the l T ight was seen by the Duke, hisr coac hman, mid footman. he seutinels were at the door of the hotel when the report Wlt% heard. The Duke at first tho u g ht that the firing moceeded acci dentally from the muskets of the sentinels; but when, out r atin g out of his carriage, the footman asked him, with great anxiety, if he was wounded, be could SO longer doubt d but that the tiring of the pistol proreeded front malice, an was aimed at his carriage. The C o mmissary of Police being informed of what passed, proceeded next day, at eleven o'clock, to the hotel of the Doke of Wellington, where he collected the following facts: — The coachman, Guiver, declared, that having turned from the Hue St. Honore 1010 that of Champs Elystes, sad while in hoot of the inn which faces the hotel ot Alicante+, be perceived a wan foll owin g the carriage, wimetimes going I quicker mid SlOMPiilnfe mid that as Geier' , was about to eater the hotel, he saw the same mau ;mistime a pistol at the carri a ge, beard die explosios, sod saw the Are.

ClitteUtltiTitlMEB WHICH PRECEDED THIS *Tit:MOT. It appeared, from Ilse examinatiod liken after die 11th of fehristry, that a report was spread at Cambery of the Duke sit Wellitsgton havine been assassinated, and it was certain thet the attempt was the result of a plot which ► had been formed a long tone before. Colonel Burgh, Aide-dr.Comp to the Doke. s tated, that being at Cambray the the nth of January, 1818, he received a litho with the post-mark of Paris um it, and having 110 other signature than the letters F. (.; that in this letter it Was announced ihat attempts were snaking against the life of the Duke of Wellingtou, and that a proposal hail been made to the writer to e nter into the plot, which refused to comply with. Colonel Burgh immediately sent dos letter to the Duke, who was then at the chateau de St. Martio, treat ('ambray. The Doke disregarded this cuminuuicatiou, and the letter Wes burnt ur lust Ott the 11th of February following, in the evening, an Colonel named Ghirarsli, who had formerly been servant to Itnigh, and was then in the service of D. Lus brother to the Spanish Ambassador, came to Colonel Burch. who was thee in Paris, •ail told hint lie Was the writer of the letter signed F. G. which hod been pent to him to Conibray. Ghirardi was iininelliately suitinnitied before the Judge of lostriection. He declared that atom! the end of September, 1817, or beginning of January, 1818, whose coining out of his master's house in the reciting to purchase something, he was met by a person whom Ise 114/1 never seen before, and who said, " Is that yuu, trhirstait?" On being answered in the affirmative, this unknown person Ise had somethine to say to him, atid desinil he would raid follow Iron. Ghirardi refused. The stranger then entered into converse, with ism; asked if lie was satisfied with his place; and then declared he could furnish hint with ;l i r means of livisig without ally place. After some farther remarks, he said, " It was in contemplation to rid ;France of its most cruel enemy, the Doke of Wellington ; and (con tinued he) if you will be of the party, I well give you money, and pat yon lii a condition to quit service altueether " Saying this, he polled nut a Vern purse, which accrued to contain money. On Gbirardi refuting luenter Mtn Iles plot, or terrieres his money, the stranger observed, " You need out be afraid ; the measures are so well taken, that Or re a no doubt of their succeas If you wish to give me your address I will inform you by letter of the day, the place end the hour, when you must be in reatliuese ; until that tuoutrut you shall not nee m e." An Inquiry was made as to what mild he the cause of this enknowis person making such a 111111pe.111. It appeared that Ghirardi, who had been in the service of several French Officers, particularly that of General Excchinsin, before he lived with Colonel Burgh or D. Loa Itios, was often is the habit of holding conversations on political subjects with the other Onmesties in the last place, and that he exp turd a great dislike at seeing the Duke of Wellington and the Army rif Occupation in France. tie k aconwiedged having said oast , slay. that it wou ld be a gond thing to get nil of the Duke of Wellington and all the Allies; miming thirehy to say dial he wished fur their departure; and it was five or six days after this conversation that the proposal in volition was made to him. It wee after having heard of the attempt made to tissassi note the Duke on the morning of (be 11th of February, that Ghirardi determined on finding Colonel Rotes, to tell him be was the author of die letter signed F. G. Every cfhot was made, but without success, to enable Gbirardi hint out the person who had made the proposal to him. l'he re searches of the police multiplied in all direetions, and they discovered that *limit the Mb of Jauuary the affair had berm confidentially disclosed to Lord Kninaird, a Peer of Scutlaud. who was then at Brussels and who communicated it to Sir George Murray, Chief of the Duke of Wellington's Staff, in • letter sent to him is Paris. In this letter he stated, that a French refugee, whom he had slightly known, had told him that three of his friends atistonsly desired to relent to Frallrea and asked if o was possible to get the Duke of Wellington to intercede in llwir behalf. Lord ICiatiaird said be thought the Duke could not sb so. The Frenchman then asked if Lord litunaird thought the Duke would apply to M. De Cases in their behalf, in case a plot, formed againet his life, should he disclosed to boo. Lord Kinnaird replied, that it would he very dilficult to bring the Duke at pay any anent' to throats of any attack personal's' directed against himself ; and that, witlntot producing good proofs, the plot would have the nppearenee of haviug been invented fur the futherenee of sonic object. The man said be did not himself want to retain to notice, and that he was induced to make this disclosure os aceouut of the %ter ror he felt at the idea of aseassiostiost. He said the plot had been communicated to him by at,. officer ou half-pay, who refused to he coeceraed in it ; hat that another hail ac cepted ate offer made to him This Fretichmau expressed a strong wish to Lord Kinuaird to be allowed to go to France, and disclose the affair to the Minister of Police, mid point out the guilty person. Lord Kinnaird gave credit to the in formation of this person, and coneriverl it to bt his duty to comet musicale the same to Col onil Burgh. After au sower given by Sir G. Murray, which was da t ed February 8, and received by Lord Kinsiairil oil the 1311 s, the latter wrote another letter to Sir G. Murray, ettottig that he eoeld not give up the name of the person who had made the disclosure to lo 111; but represented that he should be allowed to go to Paris, and there point out the guilty pei*OU. Lord Kinaatrd, without outfit)); fur a par/tort fur this moo, whose name was Louts Joseph Montalto Marine', took hius along with him from Brussels to Paris, were be arrived on the 20tb of Februat y. Marinet, on his brat examination before the Judge of &n -ohow:Mon, was eaveloped to mystery and cow...lntent ; and it wait suspected that he was no stranger to the attempt of assassioaling the Duke. It ofterwaide to out that these ouspiciusia were well founded, and that he had himself fram ed the whole plot. It was also discovered by the police, that a man named Caotilltes, formerly a military man, bait, on the 13th of February, art out from Paris witbont a pass port, sod relented thither on the td of March, sifter making s fruitless attempt to eater Belgium, to which place be bod, twfore that time, made several pruritic*, and frequeally saw prarked.
