Ile said his stile object in rising less, to fiat back upon the Ministers the imputa tions dud were attempted to he cast upon the brewers of this country. Ile should not now, on account of the lateness of the ionise, shear how eiro woos were the ealeolations of the Chancellor of Ilse Exchequer, but be pledged himself to prove °tit 01l the statements of the Right Hun. Gentle wr re fate. Mr. St:AMA:TT bad listened to the speech of the 11.. Gentleman opposite (Mr. Iliiskisson), and agreed Kith him on the advantage of having the debt of the country diminished. But the question immediately before the House was, whether they should now impose new taxes on the people ? On this they were first to eniroiler %%hillier any public exigency required the adoption of such a measure, and secondly, whether. if necessary, the present was the best tittle for imposing than. This pond they could best ascertain by looking to the present situation of the c try. It was admitted by Opt Chancellor of the F.xchequer and the Ncbll Lord opposite, that there was at present an excess of revenue over expenditure, of at least 2,000,000/. and yet they thought it sit CeOlaly to 11011810 an inererise of taus to the oweissiit of 3. 0 00, 000 1. What was the public e•aioency that required this increase ? They wets- told by the Noble Lord that peace was fully established in Europe, mill that au interrusoion could be apprehended to the present tranquillity—where then was the public Exigency ? But perhaps the public were able to bear these additional burdens--( / - /car, Itiski—and it might be argued, the people were so well able to cloture this increase of taxes, and were so vet} , tilling to pay them, that advantage ought io be taken of so favourable au opportunity, and they should not wait souther time. when the public exigencies were more iiressing.—(l/ear, hear.) —Was the establishment of a oinking loud this public exigency ? It might, perhaps, seem presumptuous iii a mon of his habits to tuter upon the discussiou of such a question us the present, and still more presionptuous at so ad vanced an hour to occupy the attention uf the Com mittee ; but he could not avoid saying a few words tin this tqlbitet. Ile admitted, that there was a great advantage in a sicking fund during a time of .ear; because it kept up the prices of the funds, awl thereby eicabied the Government to raise money fur the public service, at II rate more favourable than it might otherwise be obtained ; but lie was one of those who thought the benefit of u sinking fond its time of peace very problematical, be cause it, in his mind, was too frequeutly abuacl f its proper purpose to giving an extravagant Alisiistr . y greater facilities for gliailyiii,g their pro peusitiea. ‘I lien Mr.. Pitt established the sinking fond, it was the opinion of that great financier that whets it amounted to 4,000,000/. the consideration of its sitsposition ought to be brought before Par baineut ; and when iii IHO2, when Lord Sid smooth was ut the head of the Administration, to which Mr. Pitt afterwards acceded, it was pro posed that the sinking fund should be made appli cable to the public service, it was then thought that during war the sinking fond should nut be witched, but upset in peace it ought to he turned to relitv isig the public from some part of their burdens. lie declared that his sentiments on this suLject were not influenced by any consideration of party feeling. and that no man ever entered the House more inaliffereitt than he was about place, but he should not vote for any Ministry who would, in time of peace propose an increase of 1:17isillOn to the amount of 3,000,000/.—(Herre, Itrar.)—But why were 3,000,000/. in particular se lected, ruttier than two or four ? It was evident that the choice was altogether arbitrary, and lie believed there was no reason for it hut this : the Ministers, by the vote of a former night, found that they stood very high in favour with the House, sod now they propased these new taxes as a test whereby the /louse might in sincerity manifest its affection. There was, it appears, by the statement of Minis ters, two millions excess, and yet Ministers call fur widish/Nal taxes of three millions. In his opinion that two millions ought to be applied in the remission of taxer; in this time of peace, he -o .ltArinav,: . ~.~.. y.. F thought that sum ought to lie applied in putclias •ing the- interest of the debt. Ha rentiderril the siuting fund • mere &lesion, end instead of ' wringing the lint shilling from the people, he advised Monsters to husband the resources of the country. Was the country, he would a sk, wilting—eve the country able to bear more bur. , dens ? airintent of the reventee was taken as a derided proof of the prosperity of the country. — Ile considered it a most fallacions and a most Milt. riots, supposition ; a large revenue might be a pro o f of excessive taxation, lint it was not a proof of propoilinmite wealth. /Vint win the state of the country at this moment ? Were not thepoor in the • last state of misery std distress I—were not the pool. rates nt an unprecedented and an alarming height ?—has not every hustled proprietor been obliged to give a great portion of Ins revenue to the sullied of the pone I—lns not there been a reduction in rents far exceeding the property • reduction of at least 20 per CCM. I If • state of great national danger had arrived—if a forwgii enemy were on our shores—thin indeed he would out be surprised to hear a proposition for new taxes, and lie would not oppose it, but at this time of pence lie could not ontlerstitiii it. lie world vote against the litsolotions, lweanse he p a w cu imtnr diate necessity for toxes, awl because he did not think this a favourahle some in propose them. Mr. BANK Es spoke at considerable lew.;;li in fa. your of the Resolutions. The lion. Gentleman expre•sed his admiration of ilw Finking fund, which iluiiiig the last oar be considered the great spring of nor exertions. _ Mr. CRst4IN ti spoke in favritir of the Resolutions at great tenth (lrom the hteness of the hour we are ;ore-vented giving a full report). He said, that if the Committee had separated without coining to some remlnlion, they would abandon their ditty to the !louse and to the country. He would consider it a shuffling, cowardly proceeding—awl he coniti tint but observe on the shuffling and evasive course taken by the flight flow Gent. (Nlr. Tierney) and those unwind I . Night shwa-night they hail taunted Ministers—they charged them with nor looking the state of our finances in the face—with ken , adopt ed expedients and miserable shifts for the tray, lint now, when the decisive step was about to be taken, and the finances of the country to he put on s perm.. omit and solid footing, they CA front a sueasure which they provoked—they etterript to adjourn the consideration of the s': 'jest. Mr. CALCSAFT said, that during his whole par liamentary experience, he did cot recollect to hear within the walls of that House more offensive ex pressions than those made tine of by the Right Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Canning) in the commence ment of his speech. He thought fit to apply the ~naerrlly, and evasive, towards the Opposition side of the House. There was no thitore, cowardly or evasive in the course they had token ; in honestly discharging their duty to the country, they did not merit the unparliamentary and uncivil expiession, of the Right Lion. _ M►. CA NNING said lie dad not make use of these epithets moil the words indecent" and atroeions" were applied to his (Mr. Canning's) side.—(Load dicers front the Ministerial Benches.) Mr. CAT CRAFT said an Slistk of this nature slid not ensue from the Right [lon. Gentleman with muds grace, and still with less CoUSiSteney ; hip con duct is in tl e recollection of every Mcnber. They could not forget that the Right Ron. Gentleman is now suriousided sitting on the same teat, and con sulting in the same Cabinet with men that he for merly reprobated and lampooned—(Neer. hear. ) Was it for Win to attack the conduct and the mo tives of his Right ilms. Friend (Mr. Tierney), who has beets ever pure and never inconsistent ? Ile would not press upon the recollection of the Right Hui,. Gentleman topics which he must wish to hove buried in eternal oblivion ; he must see the attack lie made wail no proof of his judgment. The lion. Gentlemen then proceeded to examine the rpse..t ism, and concluded by exprestiirg his opposition to the Resolutiont. After the Right Hon. Gentleman sat down, there Irtl4 a general cry of 66 Question I" when— Mr. JAMES MACDONALD robe, and prnnotsisced • very eloquent speech against the Resolutions, in the course of which he bated that the expenses on the collection of the revenue amounted to four mul lions and a !ittlf—and that upon this alone one mil. lion might be saved to the country. Th, re was in deed an assurance held out that every possible s*p. lug would be made ; but after what lied occurred, would the House give credit to that asauratit e ? Why did the Chancellor of the Exchequer let four year% pass over him without doing any thing on this subject ? did he remain so long sleeping • port ? He (Mr. Macdonald) could not but consider that the Chancellor of the Exchtquer de served to be brought to the bar and reptimauded. Strangers were then ordered to withdraw, and the House divided, when there arieared— For the original Motion 129 Aigainst it Majin it, in favour of Miaistere 197 BANK OF ENGLAND CASH I'AYMENTS M.L. .

In the course of his speech the Right I 100. Gentleman enumerated the articles on ‘shicli it se:is his intro. tine to propose an increase of duties. These arti cles are, foreign silk, malt. cocoa, coffee. tea. wools pepper, British spirits. and tobacco.

This saving, together with the probable Produce of the increased duties, will amount, ac cording to his estimate, to the sum of J,199,0001. Mr. TIERNEY moved the previous question us an amendment to the two last Rerolutions--the one stating the occessity of keeping tip the Sinking rand to 5,000,000/. an n ually—the other, the expediency of imposing taxes to the amount oi 3,000.000/. per amitim.—After a long rind animated debate the Weise divided—the member* were— I'm Ministers Avinst •....
