of peace. We were now, however, commencing regular progress in the reduction of our debt, and this reduction might be expected to become mote rapid year after year. If any person ,had sentnred, not only at the commencement of the war in 1792, but even so late as at the peace of Amiens, to state that the war would leavens with att unredeemed debt'of 800,000,0001. and yet that the tesources of The country should he in such a s'itte as to enable us, at the very close Ow war, to take off taxes to the amount of 17,010,0001. ; anti yet, in the third year of peace„to have a dear surplus of 3.000,0001. of income beyond the ex- Pendi'stre, it would have been thought whoily iu cr,,dihle. Siteit, however, was our s tHali►flt at :hi.. time ---(f--fear, bear, hear I)—As to the Loan, or the itifrrie in which he might think it necessary to arrange itis financial opera'ions for the year, he could nuly repeat now what he had formerly sai4l, 'hat he ttattst decline any statement on the sub ject at this time, reserving to himself the full right to adopt such meastires as atiaftt to him scent most coittl , cive to the public service —( Hear, hear, hear !)—Anal he WaS COllViliCtft that the less Tie now said upon this subject, the greater would he the benefit to the public interest.—(l - lear, hear!) Mr, ELLICE (of Coventry) said the great amonnt of our scsperts in t. 815 was to be accounted for by the circumstance: that all the warehouses of our merchants were filled with the prrriore of our enemies' colonies, and that the Continent was then-fit-A opened to us, and onrin ;mit factures sent to a market quite bare, of oil , supply. He conceived the increase in the taut tear nientioned by the Notate Lord to be owing to tempo rary caatscs, tort no proof of national prosperity`. Every market was ;lotted with British goods, auto our merchants neve selling at tosiag 3,aaces. If 'the present baancial system continued—and if money was borrowed to raise the lands, and crielting sn over-issu of paper, it roust quid in rein. Mr. l'itO'fi HEROE. said, he was not one of those who wished to raise that gloom which the Noble Lord's statements tended to dispel. If these statements were fair, he had that conSdence in the stability of our national resources, that he - did not doabt t\tat the country would taltima.tcly realise the raost sanguine expectations of those who loolied forward to a complete relief from oar financial difficulties. Mr. lIMAX3fNALD unandered that nothing decisive was said as to the institution of sonic inquiry to prevent the no torioos abuses in the collection of the rerentie. Sir JOHN S'EaRIGIrr said a few words front under the Gallery, which sere not audible. The tinrition was then'put and carried. The names of the Cotnniettee - appointed were-- The Chancellor of the Exchequer, Lord Castlereagh, Lord Binning, Lord Clive, Lord Viscount Jocelyn, Sir , G. CIAI ke, Messrs. naohs, Ptel, ifo-lisson, Littleton, D. Gilbert, N. Cairrt, Cartwright, 3. Smith, F. Lewis. Calcraft, Fre ma3 re, Com tcnay, lElart Davis; Gooch, HolfOrd; B. bratiaai. Mr GII.E.,'NFELL wished to ask the Chancellor of the Ex chequer what particular instructions were to he gireu the Committee respecting the Management of the National Debt ? The CHANCELLOR of The EXCHEQUER answered that the sulject wou'd naturally come under the cognizance of stu,tl a Coautzittee. EXCETEQL•ER BILLS. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved the Onlin of the Day for 4,be House to resolve itself into a Com mittee of Ways and Means. It] the Comniittee Mr. BRIX;DEN took the Cha;r, when the sto rm '6{1,4,000,000 in Exchequer Bills wee VUted for the strvire of the current year. The House was afterwards resumed, the report received, and leave given that the Coratnittee fr ight sit aa";tt on Wed nesday nesi. GRANITE STONES. Mr Alderman WOOD moved fir an Account of all Con tracts entered into for Granite Stones during the last two years. Sir DYAM MARTIN hoped that the Honourable Alderman would not iwrsist in his motion, as there might tie sonic in coneenienCe to the public service if it were agreed to. Mr. Alilermaii WOOD was not aware that any opposition weinbl arise to such a motion. His &iject was point ont a principle of public economy which lied hitherto hero neglected by Ministers. The contracts for Granite Stones which had for some years been adopted, lent proved very pre judicial to the e puhlic service. in one contract, thit for the Waterloo Bridge there had been a national hiss of 164,01101. Insti;ad of 45., the sum agreed, for, the same quantity, and aquatic fond quality - of stones, might have been obtained for is. He ales recommended the eznployment, of convicts, the experice of which would not exceed Is, .Nd. each per day, in stead of the present expensive mode. He therefore premJsed his motion. 'fist CHANCELLOR. of the EXCHEQUER thought the MO. A hterniais would act more wisely lty postsomiog it to a more Suit:lldr opportunity. Mr. ALd,redtan Wilop—good-buttionrcilly and ludicrously looking arounil Ititu—ohserred, that since all his friends had lett thr flotme, he would take titr adrift' of tile Chalicelloi• of th:: Exchequer, by withdrawing his motion.—(A. laugh.)

PATRIOT PRIVATRERS.—CIptaio ALLEN, Of the schooner Dart, who arrived last evening in 28 days from Marartham, states, that a 'number of Privateers on that coast had recently captured se veral Portuguese slave ships and other vessels, valued at nearly half a million of dollarß.

CONGRESS.—IN SEN.IFE, Fitio S. The Dilation made by Mr. JOHNSON, on the 9th ult. to call on the Executive for the corre spondence respecting the cession of the Floridas, was this day withdrawn, by hi►n, on being called up, his object having been obtained by the com munications subsequently made by the President. - THE FUNDS.—The distress continues in the Money Market, from the great difficulty in getting good Bills discounted. Consols. arc a trifle bet ter, but the sales of Stock still continue to an immense amount. Consols. this morning com menced at 771 i for the Account, and have not varied a fraction up to twelve o'clock. At that hour the Commissioners came into the Market, and were served at 771 Reduced by the Jobbers generally. The account of the state of the Revenue, as given last night by Lord CASTLEREAGH, amply confirming what we have extracted from the Par liamentary Papers this day, but for which we had not room yesterday, must be wormwood to the Opposition, bat will be highly satisfactory to the People at large. We can confidently assure the Public, that it will re• olutely pro ceed in making all practicable retrenchments; and the only fear is, that, to silence the clamours of Opposition, which, however, never can be si lenced, they may concede too much, and thereby lessen the necessary strength of Government.— We refer our Readers to the Debates. It has been recently rumoured in the Opposition circles, but its no other, that MI% VANSITTART was going to relinquish his post as Chancellor of the Exchequer. This report is " a weak inven tion of the enemy." No person ever conducted himself its his arduous situation with more zeal and assiduity thah this Gentleman. He has through life devoted particular attention to sub jects of finance, and has anxiously endeavoured to render himself, what lie really is, a man of business, disregarding the vain parade of rheto rical declamation. A character more distinguish ed for moral purity, and attention to religious duties, without fanaticism, cannot be found, and in every relation of life, public and private, there is no Member of the Government mote entitled to general esteem and confidence. The public, groll(s therefore, we are persuaded, with, t il l f e (t a ile s m u c i r a e ri t n it ga reportt I li o a q v bt i te n e having e t : a a b i r i r e l i t lf °v u a i l l i t y o b i e l i t i v e o a d i r r i r , a a n r t t e y t! i it he mere whose " w i sh is father of the thought." We have had many inquiries, verbally and in letters from Correspondents, requesting more in formation upon the subject on which we touched' with cautious reluctance on Saturday last, relative to a distinguished . Female now abroad. We then said as much as could be properly communicated to the Public in the present state of affairs. We may venture, however, to add, but without pre suming to vouch for the fact, that it is positively said that a formal process has been actually served, requiting the wurn of the Lady in question to this Country, preparatory to investigations of the highest interest and importance. Major CARTWRIGHT, it seems, has pllbliShel Letter against Sir FRANCIS BURDETT in a style of abuse which only falls short of CORBETT in vulgarity. Why will not the Baronet throw off the trammels of demo.cracy, and employ his ta lents in support of such a manly Opposition as we hope will always be found in this Country to watch over the Constitution, and to keep Mini sters, in all times, to their duty 1 HiS pdcuniary independence will always ,place him above the suspicion of ins rested motives, and he may en joy the noble ambition of true Patriotism. As it is confidently said, that there is actually a Party in Government disposed to assent to the Catholic Claims, we are earnestly exhorted not to let a day pass without raisinga WARNING VOICE in defence of our E,tabli , hment in Church ant? stt°e.

FOR. TII E SUN*. r 413. Erirrox,---You will think, perhaps, that the worthy Clerk of the Peace at Peterborough has suffered his zeal to outrun his judgment. With own impetuosity, he would hsve had me send down to Peterborough, and wait for the an swer, to enquire whethre the Gypsies " were to be creeuted or not," before 1 said a word about them ; in which case, Sir, for aught I coeldhave told, they might have been hanged before any body, outside o 1 " the liberty of Peterborough," knew a word of their execution. • I alit much obliged, however, to Mr. ATKIN sON, ( . 01 - setting. the minds of your I{eadet s at ease on the i f.tte of these Merl, though the gene ral ease is in no wise altered by his statement. I consider it to be strengthentd brr ; since he ad mits that the Quarter Session Magistrates might, if they so pleased, have hanged the two Gypsies (and a third mart also, whose case I should have thought too corroborative of nay argument, haft I known any thine, about it, to be omitted), with out the PRENCE REGENT'S bearing one -syllable of the holiness. The Public have now learned another proof of the REGEsa's mercy :—but is still an awful consideration, that that mercy depended, for the opportunity of its exercise, on. the Magistrates of Pe terborough.—Their immediate and active recom mendation proves that they are merciful men ; but it does not disprove my position, that the life of the Subjectoilght not to be judicially taken away without the knowledge and consent of the Sovereign : neither does it. prove that local and resident Ma gistrates are 'always the fit persons to whom the Sovereign's Pierogative" of Justice and Merey. should be delegated. Disclaiming all personal allusions, I trill not permit the argument to rest on appeals to per sonal character. lam equally sure that the Re verend Magistrate in question would not let his judgment be biassed by any horse-keeping feelings, as that he does not keep an horse in " the liberty o f p etet liarough." I most willin t 4ly concede for him all imrginable goodness to his Cerk of she Peace only say, as'l said before, that a Cler gyman aright - not to sit upon Trials of Life and Death; arid I sincerely hope that some stop will he pot to that irreverent practice. The Judgment seat is a much fitter place for the Clerk of Man's peace to assist at than for the Miniater of God's peace to preside over. I am too happrat the poor Gypsies' escape.anri the sheep-stealer's, to be very angry at Mr. AT KINSON, or any thing be may say ; h TOOTWith standiug the peaceable title of hit office, should he persist in attributing to ore so scandalous a mo tive as that of bringing into contempt the Admi nistrators of the Laws, I must apply to him not nietely alt " harsher" term. than " incorrect," but the " harshest." of all terms possible.
