Mr. BROTTGILIM thought that it might he proper to make the present motion as a protest, hat to delay pressing it until the Report of the Committee should be brought up. lie un derstood, that within the last twelve days, Tea had fallen six pence a-pound at the East India House, and yet-it was at this moment the Chancellor of the Exchequer proposed to lay a new t4x tapon an already falling article. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER stated, that the additional duty would trot mahe a difference of more than one penny in the pound. Mr. J. P.

Would it not follow that if 50 per cent, were added to that duty, the consumption ,would again be reduced, and the revenue injured, instead of being improved? ..„ After a fees• words from the CHANCELLOR. of the EX CHEQUER, the resUltition was agreed to. On the Resolution for laying an additional duty of Qs. per gallon on British Spirits, Mr. J. P.

THB FUNDS.--An consequence of the 'minus fluctuations this morning in the °mniun► and Funds, a great bustle and .confusion prevailed at the Stock Exchange; Consols opened at 681, and fell to 68; Omnium opened at Discount, and was done at 2 Discount.

March 7. “ Tbe Republican General BALCARD has ter minated the war in Chili, by a general victory obtained over the Royalists in the province of Conception. General SAN MARTIN is in Chili, recruiting his army, and is only waiting for next season to ma k e an en t r y into Lima, which must, according to the probability of human events, fall into the hands of the Patriots. Admiral COCHRANE, by the last advises, was blockading two or tiller S i taniob frigates, together with ocher vessels of interior classes on the adjacent coast. Flis squadron is powerful enough to capture the whole of the Spanish fleet in that quarter. The Monte Hems (or Mountaineers) who are a band of deserters, headed by a few unprincipled wretches, enemies to liberty and civil order, continue to commit various outrages in the country, but the Government has sent sufficient force against them. ARTIGAS also continues: on the opposite side of the River. y‘,” Will perceive by the papers I have sent you, that a conspiracy has been detected in San Luis, where all the Spanish prisoners taken in Chili, Peru,. &c., are sent for safe keeping. Seven of these, beaded by a General Officer, attacked the Governor of that town, by whom they had been treated as bro thers, in his own house, but he was nowise daunted by their numbers, and alone forced them to retire. Twenty-seven of the conspirators were tried and shot, P. S. Some difficulty has taken place between this Government and the Portuguese at Monte Video, and a non-intercourse now exists between them. The cause of this disturbance originated through the Portuguese Consul here, who was found with a quantity of papers published against this Government by CARRERA and ALVAREZ in Monte Video. General SAN MARTIN i$ Coining here from Chili with part of his army." Mr. .BROUGHAM observed last night in the H►utse of Commons, that " it would be better that the Millions now about to be taken by the Ministers, in the shape of Taxes, were left in the pockets of the People to fructity, and to prepare them fur the sudden exigency of war." We should be surprised at this want of sagacity acd apparent ignorance of the state of Europe and the ambition of America, in she Ho nourable Gentleman, if we did not know how tar great talents .may be obscured and obtunded by the mkts of . party. Surely when a storm seems to he rising, it is proper to secure shelter and protection ; and that a storm really im pends the situation of France alone would convince any unprejudiced Politician,, who hss any pretensions to common sense, and is not inattentive to the appearance of things, and the probable course of events. It is, therefore, from 1. - Olitical foresight ...nil r,rtiotialrie derluctinn, that • Ministers, are endeavouring "to prepare for what is too likely to happen, tend not have to hunt for resources when the moment rt quires action, and all the necessary means for defence or hostility, 3s circutusta.nces mAy require. But we wish the Honourable Gentleman had attendetl to the sug gestion thrown out by Mr. MANSFIELD, Member for Leicester, who, to an open, candid, and for cible manner, suggested the, expediency of a PROPERTY TAX, which, judiciously modified, would fall only on those who could afford to pay it, .and would relieve the middling and lower classes front present burthens . , and obviate the necessity of future. Such a tax eve heartily ap prove, and shall deem those hypocrites, on either aide, who pretend to patrifflisui, anti yet are ad verse to a measure That might be so beneficial to the Empire.

The mournful at tire in which she appeared did tint impair the eilect of .her person, and we conceive that in the splendid habits of Lady Macbeth, or any other character of elevat.- ed rank, all requisite majesty, grace, and beauty, wood. be apparent.
