Mr. L. FOSTER said, that the fullest time had ,already been givrn for inquiry, and that the Hon. Baronet came for ward and called for delay without nits sufficient reason. The truth was, that there was a vere urgent necessity for passing the Bill as seen as possible, inasmuch as the greater part of the sums which it empowered to he raised had been advanced by % , ..ay of loan. He hoped it would not be thnught a want of Courtesy if he refused to accede to the request fur delay. Sir 1. NEWPORT also wi - sle a l for deLty. Mr. L. FOSTER explained.

The petition prayed that the House might adopt some mea sur:: to prevent other persons front being debarred of this right. _ nn the motion that the petition do lie on the table, Mr.COUItTENAY observed, that it w,s the duty of the House not only to open its doors as widely as posiiile for the reception of petitions, hot that it was also their duty to pre vent this right from being abused. This petition did not pray for any thing which the House could properly accede to, and he thought upon the whole that it ought not to he allowed to lie on the table. Mr. PKOTHEROE said he had very little knowledge of the circumstance to which the petition retitled; but that be him self felt considerable delicacy in taking any objection to it, as the petitioner was one of his most active opponents during the canvas at the last election for Bristol. The question was then put, and the petition rejected with out a division. TAXATION. Sir ROBERT WILSON said, he rose to present a petition to the House which related. to a subject which was this slay to engage the attention of the House—the Financial State of the Country. It was signed by Wirt. Blessington, late of War wick-street, Golden-square, now of Peter-street, Westmin ster, and contained a most affecting narrative of the distresses to which he had be e n subjected, by the brutal' conduct of the Collectors of Taxes. The petition described seve ral scenes a bleb had been exhibited in his house at the time wh i en executions were i•ent into it by the 4 ktlicers or taxes, to recover the amount of the taxes which were slue fsotti bins. It stated, that one of these bad taken place when his wife was six months advanced in preg nancy. The alarm brought on her a shivering fit, which Lei urinated in an illness, which continued till the end of her pregnancy, wityn she was delivered of a dead child ; that he was himself now a ruined man, and his family beggars. 'rite petition prayed for a reform of such abuses, and a reform of Parliament. The Gallant General referred to a declaration which he''hail lately made of his resolution not to vote foranv taxes tilt Parliament was refortued.—He now felt it his duty to state, that he would sooner lay his head on the botch than. vote for any motion to wring an additional shilliog from the hands of the people, already so oppressed by the weight. of taxation.-111e,petitinn was brought np,-read, and ordered to .lie on the table, and to he printed. A petition was presented from the Land Owners and others of the county of Kinross.—Read and ordered to lieon the table.

Mr. EDWARDS presented a petitinyt from the Agricul turists of Curphilly,- in Glamorganshiie, praying for a Pro tecting Duty tin the Importation of Foreign Curn.ia—Read, and ordered to lie on the table. fir .1( sF,BitiGirr presented a petition from certain Drua;sti ill Loudon, tegainsi tite Nil fur, relitthiting the Sale PROFITS OF THE BANK Mr. GRENFELL said, he rose to give a notice, as to which b e was glad to see the Chancellor of the Exchequer in• place. It hatE been usnal during the war to allow the Bank a bongs upon every Loan, at the rate of about 8001. f u r ever y tuilhun burrowed.lf it was intended that this should be con tinued on the Luau now in contemplation, he gave notice that he would take the senie of the House upon the propriety of withholding it. FINANCE-NEW TAXES. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved the Order of the al for a Committee on the Fi nance Report. The motioh was agreed to, Rod the Ilott,e re ithell into the Conswittte. -The CnaeceeLott of the ExcHttatien said, that after the Report which had been presented on the State of the Finances, the Uoilse would na turally expect that previously to any statement of the arraogetneota which had been made with a view to meet the supplies for the current year, same discussion should take place ou the matters contained in that Report. It was oatural to ex• pect, not' only that the general financial state of - the country should be brought under the consi aeration of the House, but also that some expla nation should be given as to the - tneasures which his Majesty's Government intended to propose to Varliament in the present state of the Fioances, and as tnost suited to the situation it) which the country now stood. To titake such an explana tion the more clear, and to separate it from the more minute technical details which it involved, he had suggested the mode of embodying, in the form of resolutions, the more general proposi tions as to our financial situation, toinicionbered by the particular details, which would afterwards come to be considered. He therefore hoped that the noose would find it better first to enter into toe discussion of those leading features of our si tuation which were traced in the resolutions which he had laid before the Howie, Ia these resolutions he bad endeavoured, in as siiort nod simple a manner as possible, to bring the most material facts into view, as \ separated from the details. No reference was made to the distinct appropriations ; because, in whatever way these might.,be arranged, and to whatever degree they might be multiplied, the great ques tion mutt always come to be, as to the proportion which the income of the nation bole to its expendi tire. It v'as to this general ques tion that the Finance Committee had principally directed t heir attention ; and, with the same view, he would now take the liberty of recapitulating shortly the main facts embodied it; the resolutions. The fit st resolution stated the amonnt of the taxes of which the country bad been relieved, since the termination of the war in 1815, to be 18,000,0001. per annum. Of the particulars of these taxes, an account bad been just -ilowlaid upon the table of the House (by Loshington), which collected the various brandies of the revenue from which this reduction bad taken place. These accounts brought together, for the first time, a statement of these various branel.es, and the proportions of each. From them it appeared tliat the amount of these taxes, on an average of the ttvo last ' years, was 18,700,0001. The second resolution, stated the effect produced by the consolidation of the Treasuries of Great Britain and Ireland. Br that measuie, the whole amount of the Irish Na tiottal Debt was thrown into the general mass of the Debt of Great Britain. Nod .e'e he wished distinctly to state, that_ he did not mean to say that Ireland had not, according to her borne her full proportion of the burden which was cast upon the country by the %var. At the time of the Union between the two kingdoms, no Mail could have thought, that for fourteen years, in an uninterrupted extent, there should have been a continuance of the greatest war in which the country had ever been engaged. Any man who could then have known it must have beer; astonished at the amount of the burdens which it %Todd o:casiou—burdeils of such Inavitmle, Cott [PRICE SEiri;NPENCTI , at the prospect of undergoing theM the stoutest heart Must have` ieeti appalled. This observation was applicable tiit Great Britain as well as to Ire land. %Viten the enernious Sums., which it was necessary to raise by loan during the war, were considered, every one niust feel them to be such as it would have been impossible tO calculate upon beforehand. IVhettier with a view to the capa bilities of the country, all the arrangements which had been made were such as, upon a knowledge of its resources, would have been most advisable, it was now quite useless to inquire. But this much was certainly known of the state of Ire land—that raviolis to 1798, when the disastrous tvai broke forth, the taxes in that country were so Hof, that it would have seemed untair to propose any addition to the debt of that coun try, wishaiut providing a revenue for its liquida tion. This, however, Was not the course pursued, and the consequence was, that while in Great Bri tain a great part, of the supplies were raised through the year, Ireland had recourse to loans. This produced a very important difference in + the state of the debt of the two countries as ac cumulated during the war. In the period which elapsed between the Union of the two Kingdoms, anti the consolidation of their Exchequers, the National Debt of Great Britain had increased in a proportion of four to seven, while that of Irea land had increased nearly eightfold, or in the pro portion of 15 to 92. The inevitable consequence of this was, that the consolidation imposed a great additional charge on Great Britain. The • atnonot of this charge as in the resolution was 1,885,4721. The third Resolution stated the amount of the supplies already voted, or to be voted, far this year at 20,500,0001. The fourth► stated the amount necessary for the supplies et the year which it would be necessary to raise by loan ; and the frltit mentioned that the Sinking Fund, applicable to the rediotion of the debt its the present year, might he estimated at about fit teen millions and a half, a sum which exceeded • that required for the service of the year by about 2,000,0001. The next Resolution stated, that for the purpose of supporting the public etetlit, and providing for the progressive reduction of the public debt, it was 'expedient that a Sinking Fund of not less than 5,000,0001, should be provided ; and this was followed by a Resolutlon, that tots this purpose the r evenue , should he increased by the haposition of new takes to an amount of not less than 3,000,0001. Such was tire general viewv presented by the sate of our finances, atot the measures proposed, with a view to the estaldisha went of the public credit. Looking to the minima of tax i es from whirls the country bast ace-n teliear ed since the war, the greatest and most important of them was the Property Tax. lie was far :root • arraigning the decision of the House on this soh jest, altough it was contrary to, his ewoi opiaion ; nor indeed email he, its his couscienee, say that eonsiderable beiteilt had not bran tell $0 mails , re spects of great importance from that derision and he certainly hoped that the lelief which had been thereby affoded to the public, nas annona• the eauscs which led to the restoration of public credit, end the reuovatiou of industry throughoot the country, after the great depression whieh hart been experienced just after the termioation of the war. But at the sarue time he ¶!jd not believe that the industry of the country could be in any way so well supported as by placing the pub. iic revenue in such a state as should give a con siderable surplus above the expenditure of each year, applicable to the reduction of the debt al ready incurred. What he now wished was to place the revenue in the same state as it would have been at the time when the Property Tax would have expired, if, instead of being giving up in 1816, it had been continued ea tire modified plan which he soggesed for two years loner. If that plan had been adopted, at this time about '18,000,0001. of the debt would have been dis charged. But the decision of the House madelt necessary , to pursue a different plan ; and o r the measures then resorted to he must he allowed to say, that he considered theta the best which the sitnation'of the country afforded. They were indeed to be considered rather as temporary ex- pedie»ts,; but they had brought the country to its present stale without any ditnintnion of public credit, without any hiss of character, arid with j out any severe financial pressure. But the plan of temporary eapedients must in time come to an earl'—(Hear, hear, from the Opposition.)—When those which the repeal of the property tax hid rendered necessary were resorted to, there were only two resources open to the Government.— The one was the afrear of war taxes, not then re ceived, which amounted to a very considerable sum : the other arose from the facility (which. the public convenience in other respects celled for) of resorting to the Bank of England for rut advance of money. In 1815, the debt due by the public to the Bank was redutte.l to such a degree as was thought necessary, for theporpose of allowing the resumption of cash payments, without datiger or inconveoience to that establishment. Bot in ISIS, the Treasury havhtg been then unavoidably drained by the war, it was thought iedispensible to resort to the Bank, as affording the most con• venient and the most economical means of pro viding the sum which was required to make tip the supplies for that year. The state of the coun- try at that time matte this measure the most att- valitaecoos that could be adopted ; fer it was then 18;joui fug owlet the want of circulation. in such. a state of things , thy• loan from the Bank con tribute(' to revive public confOetice, an►l afforded the means Of considerable relict to ►he mercantile interest. So strongly was this felt by Parliament at that time, that a million and a halt of Exche quer Bilis Was isstied under its approbation for the (e-lief of this body of tl►e community. nes the zaedas which bad been resorted to uader toe. cit;-
