(Lord :Melville). • The cue my took .the time advantageous to themselves, and they were completely disapnointed in - their expectations.

FITZGEriALP said be had that morning contracted for a Loan tb ttie amount 012,000,0001. fqr the service Of 'lreland. lie had 'inueh 'faction in stating the conditions on which this Loan had been obtained; and could not help con gratulating the Committee on having gained one to such an amount, on such favourable terms. It had been agreed, that tor. every one hundred :pounds should be given in the 32 per cents. 201. in the 5 per cents. and 11/..15s in Treasury' Bills. The interest on every 1001. would be 51. is. If to this it. 4s. for the Sinking Fund and ina nagement were.'added, the total charge to the public for-every 1001. raised would be, 01. 58. 9d. The stockereated 1204, exclusive of Treasury Bills. He ought to remind the Committee, , that the terms of this loan were not. quite so favourable as . those on which his Right Honourable Friend had had the good fOrtime to obtain the-last; !pit- they would Observe, that, in thepresent ca5e,2,000,000/. were raised in the manner descrihed; hi the foriner,- but oneloillion and a half was so' obtained the re niainder of the Loan having been. procured 'on TreaSury.Bills. With the terms 'ort- which the Loan, Itad been obtained, he . ;thought the Com mittee and the public would have no reason to be dissatisfied, as not- holy vas " the lonn raised tor less than it coal(' be raised here, but in a'coutiter.' where the regular interest of money was 61 . per cent. such was , the liourishing state pf. o ur pecu. nitary - resotirees; that a loan of 2;000;0001. could l , e:raised.at.s/.. 'od.- interest iiniait**Y 101/. be.: ing bear I per cent. under the regtilar 'inte res t o f money in that country. In submitting to' the CoMmittee certain duties - Which, he had to .pro pose, as a previous understanding had been had that in any difference of opinion Which might arise, it would be more convenient to diScuSs on a future occasion, Ile - presumed they *mild not be debated, now:, He mention:A this, not that he wished, s b ould be se . for. - his own sake, but to . account tor his not going so holly tato some parts of the subject as he might otht•rWise.have done. .He should propose in some measure, to as'simi late the Irish duties to these .of England: His Right Hon. Friend near him, in proposing. an in 7 Crease of 25 percent. on English Customs'lluties, brought ,forward such reasons' in - -favour .of • that proposition, as had induced the House to eon cur with him In thinking k it ought to be adopted. These reasons (with smite exceptions) were in a great degree applicable to Ireland. It was there fore his intention to propose that an additiOn of 25 per cent.. should he made to the Irish Customs, on all goodS, wares, and merchandise imported,. With the exception of coffee, silk (raW 6r Manufao tured), tea, salt, sugar, tobacco, rine, and cotton W 001... These he exempted from the generaljeso lotion ; but he bud it it, contemplation to increase the duty•On tobicco. The addition he proposed to make would amount to a penny and alraction. (near a peony halfpenny) p er pound. o 4 coffee he should' propoe an , addition of one penny per lb. The, Committee were aw a r e ' that th e d ut y on tea id England amounted 'to 961. on every 1001. and to 93/. in Ireland. It had heed his intention .to make the duty 'on tea im Ireland the same as in England ; but, on reflection, conceiving the diffe rence had been made to cover the insurance and and carriage' expences incurred in , conveying it ,to Ireland, he had thought' it. would, be un fair to take this allowance away, and liad tliere fore abandoned the idea. The next article which though left out of the general resolution, he orog posed to make some addition to, he did not expect would be carried without opposition. This was an additional duty on wines imported. The ,'last increase, of duty on wines was made in 1810,.wheu tin addition of.lBl. 103. was laid. on Vrencli wines imported, and of P2l. on others. It might he ar-, goed, that-front the diminution of, the-prodirce of this duty, it was clear the consumption had been. l ,greatly affected by this measure, and that there fore aftirther increase of dqty could not be pro ductive. He,, however, was of opinion, that it Would not b e 'quite unfair to argue on the 'ether side, that th.3se who, notwithstanding the increase of duty in 1810, continued to consume French ; wines, mut be ,persons in such affluent circum staitees that it was not likely they would he de- terred from taking them, oy the duties being ad vanced about one-third of the difference at present • existing . between the Irish and British duties.-,-- The duty in Ireland was at present '321. per toh, fir St. 10s. the hogsheatt of claret. The additional duty, proposed .to be laid on, it was calculated, would not be felt to be very considerable, The present Consume' s he conceived to .be a class of persons *very different from thoSe who werede ti.-rred front consuming French wines.by the duties • imposed in 1810. They Must be persons in af , ' .ffuent,circuntsian c es, and it was but fair that the .- burthens of the State should be thrown on the consumers of luxuries, as far as this could be clone without injuring the ,consumption of, the, articles: which were taxed. The Committee would agree, with biotin this, as such. had ever been' the prae tice and the policy of Parliament'. next prop position was to raise Ole Tates of the ExeiseDuties,, . He should propose an additional duty of ss. per, .barrel on Malt. He was aware this would appear ai that which would indirectly injure the Irish Breweries ; this, however, he thought guarded. iagainst by the duty imposed last,-year on Spirits. Its etrect would be to make on Beer tin increase of abrmt 113. '6d. per barrel, 4id. per gallon; - or la, per quart ; while ,the duty. paid in England. was 11. ss. per barrel, 91d. per gallon, or 44.. per quart. The whole of the English and Irish duties were in the`'sathe proportion ; and While in Ireland but half the ditty w a s p a id which 'was levied in England, 'he could .not think the Irish Breweries would he in danger.of The pro pOsed increase of duty would not make the duty more than half what wa - slat present paid in Eng - - hind, therefore he was satisfied the measure could not be dangerous. He now came to propose some additioual Tegulations of the Post-rates in Ire land. In these a defalcation. had been experi enced. It was impossible to argue that the 'great towns could be so much affected by the rate of Nit age as to have caused this falhog off in the revenue, and in fact it had been discovered, that it arose from the communications,by the post between the capital and towns not very , 'emote from it, - being les! frequent than formerly. This probably arose from the facilities their situation afforded them of sending letters by private hands, and by. various conveyances. To conoteract this, he proposed to reduce the postage of all tenets to or from towns nearthe capital, so as to bring it back to what it was at the thue of the Union. The lowest rate of postage was two-pence, and this he intended should be the rate of postage paid on all letters within ten miles of Dublin. His plan was to' tom"' the rates of postage progre s si ve l y f or fif ty miles round, an d beyond distance to increase them in proportion. The Nit subject with yespect to which he should propose any addition or alte ration, was what were called the Assessed Taxes of Ireland ; he meant the rates paid on wißdows, male servants, horses, and carriages: At'present bouses, containing six wi n d ows were taxed in cEonngtlaiinnuls;evinn a Ireland, no b oase which did'' not taxed. - He, did-not at present intend to alter, the scale in this respect, bat a house whi c h had. seven`` windows and which at present paid 15s. 9d. he proposed to make pay 17s. 6th 11. being paid for the same-lumber iii England. Those having eight- Windo'ws paid at present I/. is. He proposed to athiance , this rate to V. 45.; 11. 13s.,being paid for the same in this Country. Advancing the rates thus progressively up to fourteen WindmVs, he, as houses having that number were generally held by perans mostymm petent to pay taxes, should propose to raise the rate, at present 31. Bs. 2d. in Ireland, and in Eng land 61, 3s. 7d. to 41. 4s. He wished the rate to. be thus nth , ' auced in Ireland, alw a y s b e i ng I n the . • itame proportion under that paid•in Englabd. *This • increase of duty, he calculated, would produce .25 per cent. on the whole -tax, withoth.toriehing ' houses containing so few windows as, six. With respect to ; male servants, the rate at present" paid .on one inlreland was 1/. Is the rate in England being W. Ss,' He did not think the poverty o f th e country such that it was necessary but I/. ls. should be paid there for a a servant; while 2/. S. - .was paid in this country. In ,England, the rate paid on two.serVants was al. 2S. in Ireland it was 1/. 118. 6d. ' He proposed to raise the rate for one servant from 11. Is. to 1/. tOs. ; for,twO.servants„ from 11. 1 Is. 6d. to 2/. anti so on tii eleven ser ..vants,, on which the rate was at present 41. which . • he proposed to' adVance to ;74: now came to describe the increase of dilty which he bad to propose on Horses.. On this subject,. ti.t Hon. Gentleman observed, that In England, the rate paid on one horse w as 21.175. 6d. in Irelluld it was but .15s.- The dtity on two in Ireland was - 1.75. in England it, amounted. to 4/. 14s: He thought of advancing the rate to be paid, for one to 11. 10s. for,two to 2 1. and so onin proportion keeping the rate always far below that paid in Great Britain, and of this alteration, no man who • • considered the.subject fairly could,complain. For carriages, the arrangement he had to propose Was this.: -At present, the tint) , paid on 'one carriage in Ireland was .81. 8.3.' he .should propose to rai,e it to 101, 10s. which was mtach less than was paid in England. While ,81. Bs, was. paid .for one cur riage, of two paid but 71. s. mch. This ;Ind been so atranged with a view to increase ;fie duty, , ,as if any one w er e likely to set up, a se cond carriage f or the advantsage of Paying 71. is, on two, instead of„$1.: Bs. on One. 'al.'s; how ever, was the plan on which the author of the tax hail wished it to proceed, and in purstian6e of it, the owner of three carriages paid only. 61. (is. each, the owner of tour 51.013., each, and all who kept above tour, ~as if the means of -paying taxes dimiuisheci in proportion. as ability, to keep car. . riages• was 'developed,. paid but . 4/. 4s. for each. carriage ! • This, he thought, extremely unfair; and the regulation wbich should propose to, remedy the evil was simply this, that a rate of 10/. lba. should be paid on every carriage. This . was the general purport of the resolutions he to propose. They woultLbe found more distinctly • to explain his view' s . H e s h ou ld abstain nt present • from enlarging on,the subject. He concluded by, moving his- first Resolution, ".1 hat a sum not ex- • ceediug 2,000,0001. be raised,, by way of loan, for 'the serwiee of Ireland.." . Sir J. NEWPORT ,expreised satisfaction at the terms of the loan, hut objected to the new atities on tobacco, wine, and malt, which, as wellas the tax. on carriages, be thought it would not be found, productive. Mr. W. FITZGERALD thought it would not be quite right to oppose, the propositions.be had to sUbinit to them, because they were objectionable; it could hardly he expected thati in, the present state of things, .any man could propose.' taxes which Would be whqly unobjectionable ; it -was sufficient for him if .he could spew the duties he proposed were less obnoxious than others would be, and he thought they would prove More pro ductive than the Right Honourable Gentleman .expected.. . • Mr. TIGHE spoke against the duties on Malt and' Wine. The 'Resolution was then agreed to, the. House *resumed, and the Report of the Committee was ordered to be received on Monday. Mr. Lustit'goTow brought up the Report of the Committee on the Sugars of Martinique. The Resollitions were agreed to, with one alteration, - (ten shillings being substituted for twelve shillings and sixpence on clayed sugars), and a Bill was or dered ad6ordingly. On tlic motion of Mr. GRVDTAN, the HonsA went into a Committee, pro forma, on 0* Ro-, man CathoJic Relief Bill. The Chairman .- parted progress, and obtained leaVe to sit again on Monday. The Report of the American Prizip‘ Bill was brought up, and the 13111 ordered to be read a third time on Monday. Mr. O'HARA' postponed his motion respecting, Irish' Finance to Wednesday. AdjOurned.
