The Iris). Exchequer Mils Bill was read a third time and passed. PR (317.RTY TAX. Mr. Vansittart brought in the Property Tax Bill, which was read a first time ; and on the motion for its second reading. Sir ROBERT BUXTON said, that as he had not had an opportunity of speaking on this subjql before, he would now remark on the extreme injustice and hardship which the bill would inflid, as well on the lower classes of the people, as on the landed pro perty of the kingdom in general. If the esemp tions for repairs, for instance, were taken away, the tax woul.l fall unequally, at least, ia the pro portion of L. 12 or 4.19 per cent. on the landed in terest. This doing away of that exemption, he had always opposed. He did so on bringing in the bill of last year, and if those whose business it more peculiarly was should not attend to it, he should feel it his duty to propose exemptions for that pur pose in the Committee. Mr. VANSITTA IIT replied, that the exemption alluded to was not included in the present Bill, and that the Committee was the proper stage for the discussion of that subject. He said, he meant to propose, that the Bill should be read a 2d time to morrow, for the purpose of having it committed on Thursday, after which it would be printed, nod a day appointed for the report, after the holidays, when it would be competent to any Gentleman, who thought proper, to move fur its being recommitted. He assured the House, at the lame time, that his Noble Friend, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, had everv!disposition to listen to every reasonable sug gestion that may be made; but he must also re mark, that exemptions of that kind might be just and right, in panics' ir ca es, which would be highly injurious if generally adopted. Mr. Alderman PR INSEP said, he was aware that this was rut the proper stage for going into any dis cussion ; hut promised to deliver his sentiments upon it, when the Bill should be in a Committee. Colonel BAS It D said, he hoped care would be taken in the Bill, that no species of property should be liable to pay more than another ; but that it should bear equally on all. Leases of repairs, he thought, should be particularly attended to, as sometimes they necessarily amounted to more than the year's rent of the f,,rm er estate. Mr. S. LEFEVRK said, that as lie supposed the Bill must be recommitted, he thought Monday, the 25th inst. would be a proper time for doing so. Bilt was then ordered to be read a 241 time to-morrow. Lard OSSULSTONE repotted, that His Ma jolty had been waited upon with the last Address of the House, and was graciously pleased to an swer, that he would give directions accordingly. INDIA AFFAIRS Mr. 1-1011110 USE moved, .• that the considera tion of the Report of the Ccanmittee on the Debts of the Nabob of Arcot, be deferred to Monday se'n night, as there was not sufficient time yet given for the proshiftion of the papers." Mr. FRANCIS asked, whether there would be sufficient time to have the papers, and consider of them, between this and Monday se'nnight Mr. HOBHOUSg replied, that the papers would be ready, he understood, by the end of the week ; but should that not be the case, he should not ob jed to the time being extended. Mr. FRANCIS then said, that he wished the House to be apprized, that this was a question of considerable magnitude, being no less a sum than five millions sterling, said to be due to certain cre ditors of the Nabob of Arcot ; and if the claim were made not out, it would remain to be paid by the Company, as the finances of the Nabob were in the most extreme disorder. Mr. HOBHOUSE said, he should defer any dis cussion of the subjed, till the:13;11 was brought in, at which time he should enter fully upon it. The Motion was then agreed to. Mr. GOLDING moved, That there be laid before the House a copy of the letter of the Gover nor-General in Louncil, dated the 28th of March, 1805, relative to the friendly conduct of the Nabob of Arcot." - Mr. FIUDDLESTONE seconded the motion. Mr. PAUL also spoke in favour eifit --- ancl;lso gave notice, that, on a future day, he should move for papers relative to the friendly coutina of the Nabob. The letter now demanded, be said, gave a pretext to the Governor-General to call tor the sum of no less than 900,0001. as a contribution from the NAboh. Lird HENRY PETTY--" I must take the li berty a requesting, that the Hon. Gentleman would defer his motion for a day or two, as a Right Hon. Friend of mine (Mr. Fox) who would wish to be pree•nt at this discussion, though cot seriously indis posed, is, however, too much so to he Able to attend in his place this day." TM, being assented to, the Motion was post poned to Thursday next. Mr. R. THORNTON said, that the same stip gestion-of the absence and indisposition of the Right Hon. Secretary of State, induced him also to post pone his motion, for a letter from Sir G. Barlow to the Marquis Cornwallis, in answer to one from Lord Lake, to the same d.ty. Mr. PAUL deferred the motion for India papers, of *bids he had given notice, to some future day. A Message from the Lords announced, that they bad agreed to the Newfoundland Judicature Bill. On the motion for thesecoad readirg of the Lam beth Enclosure 80, Lord W. RUSSiL said, that the several Petition ers ajtais•t the bill, ard who were ordered to be heard by their Ccunsel on the second reading, tiunxl! they by no means relaxed in the.r oppos:tic.n to it, instructed him to consent th.tt it shliild firer go to a Committee ; after which, if their obi ttitoo were not removed, they wroold expect to be hear.l by their Counsel on the report. Mr. YORKE, pursuant to notice, moved for ex tras to he laid belnre the Moue, o!- corms poodence between the government of Ire Land, and the Secretary of State, r' !alive to the suspension of the late paving hoard, in Dublin. Lord DE BLAQUI FAS said. he did not mean to oppose the motion. thanes he must again repeat. that it WAS natoral for a set of. gentlemen. who had been SO s veiely wound-d for their conduit s to hove coie:"tesi that they might have been hearsl•in their jusotication, before they were cendemne Mr. YORKE replied, that when the papers were before the House, they would show that the Irish Government was tar from being precipitate in its proceedi The motion was then agreed to. Mr. YORKE next moved, " that the abttracts presented of the Subdivision Rolls, under the a called the Leve-en-masce, should be printed." He observed, at the same time, that the abstracts of the Enrollments of the year 1804, contained only seven, and that of the year Ibo 3, only six counties. He understood that the late Administration in formed the Lords Lieutenants of Counties, that the returns were to be made regularly every year; why that was not complied with, he knew not ; but lie thought it of great importance, with a view to every military system, that the House should know the number of men in this country capable of bear ing arms. Agreed to. Mr. JERVIS gave notice, that on Monday se'n night he should move for leave to bring in a bill, to enable the Courts of Admiralty in the Colonies, to try persons for murders committed within their ju rii:diaion. He then moved for an Account from the Customs of the number and tonnage of vessels which sailed from the ports of England in the last year.—Ordered. . _ Mr. JEFFERY took this opportunity of observ ing, that though he was very far from wishing to de bar E.trl St.lVincent or his friends from the necessary means of making his defence, yet he c. aid not but perceive, that the wish of that Noble Lord's friends was to produce procrastination and delay. The few papers he moved for to substantiate his charges were speedily produced, after which, A tiring of no less them 63 papers were moved lur by Admiral bbirkham. •'he SPEAKER here interrupted him, observing, that it was disorderly to mention the name of any Member, and also very irtegula to :Ilk:A upon him in his absence. Mr. JEFFERY apologised for the irregularity, but said hccould not but remonstrate against pro crastination, when he had such serious charges to bring forward. Mr. JERVIS disclaimed any wish to procrasti nate ; and moved, " that the papers presented in pursuance of the Motions of Admiral Markham, be printed," which was agreed to. Mr. POSTER moved for a great variety of Irish Accounts, antonyst which were-- T :e Wool I , ld Woollen Y.sr, II g's Lard anal x.•u:ted fr.i.n Ireland, in the 011:11,4 of the last r ear Produce of the Excise, in the (platters ending July and October, 1813.

The Tea, and Snuff and Tobacco Duty Bills, were brought in, read a first, and ordered to be road a second time to-morrow.

PET gave notice, that, on Thurs day next, be should move, that the House, at its rising, should adjourn to Monday se'nnight. Lord H. PEI f Y moved the Committee on the Ordnance Treasurer's Bill, and said, it was intended to extend the same provisions to the Irish as to the English Ordnance. Mr. HUSKISSON thought what was new pro posed, would be a considerable improvement of the Plan. A long conversation then arose, the oi.jcct of which was to ascertain whether the last gcvarnment had formed a similar plan before the 10th Report of the Commissioners of Naval inquiry was pre sensed.
