'rhe CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved, lhat the House should resolve itself into a Com mittee on the Assessed Taxes Acts. The night non. Gentleman then observed, that he might Shortly explain the Resolutions which he had to submit to the Committee, by stating that the object of them bore a near tesetuhlance to the plan recommended by an Hon. Baronet (Sir M. 'sV. Riley).. There was, however, this difference bet tveen them—that instead of com s bining one the Ivholo—of the slibjec!s of assessment, and applying to it the same etinal measure of com position, he proposed, after fixing the period of composition at three years, to require a per cent. we of per cent. for houses and windows, and 10 rut - cent. upon household establishments. separation a!ipeated to him expedient, inas much R 3 window and hones being in themselves I,a,liatile to ehane.e, ong!lt to pay a less for the adviinh , Lte of being freed from the He moved, therefore, in the frat place, 4 Resolution, that the present Assessed T”XeS he continued tor three years ; and, in the second, that 3 compost ion h e nth - 3%l:rd of Is. it) the poood on all duties assessed upon houstfs and and 2s. in the pound upon all others. Sit NI. W. PoDLICY oh,,ervfd, that as the corn position was to he voluntary, th.• only qoestion was, whit!) arrengemcnt wts the more advisable, that of an etrid or a ditictent rate of composi tion. lie thougl)t the Hon. Gentleman would d, teat his object by requiring a per centage of ten pontids on certain branches of these duties. '1 he iffieni inn of the plait was to prevent stir , . charges, and he hoped that on further considera tion the Right Hon. G , ntleman would be of opi pion that a general per centage of five was likely to I e more productive titan a partial one of ten. The tßANct<Ltott of the EXCHFaUER that his distinction was founded upon the expe rience that the assessed duties on houses and win,iowN varied less than any other branch of them. They had been generally found to remain at a stationary amount. The nomber of servants and horses was evidently liable to continual change. He should propose also, that although the party compounding should be allowed to in crease the number of his 'windows, or make ad ditions to the parts of his establishment already assessed, yet that this right should not extend to objects not previously assessed at all. He might indicate his meaning by a reference to the case of horses kept without a carriage, and the subse quent addition of a carriage : the carriage so ad sled would not be included in the Previous Sir M. W. EIDLEY said, that after this expla nation, he could only view the proposed plan ks one of additional taxation. His own object had been to guard agaidst this consequence. By the Right Hon. Gentleman's plan, a rrson who kept a horse and a servant, if he bought a I ;.g. would lose the advantaee of his composition. He was sorry that :he Right Hon. Geutleman bad not acted on his own views, instead of going to So merset•house, and taking advice at the Tax Of fice. He predicted that this measure would do no good, and be received with no satisfaction by the country. The CHAsc:ELLon of the EXCHEQUER remark ed, that in the prepara!iou of au y ne w or itrpor tant measure he should always -fed it his duty to consult per'sons of experiet:ce and practical know ltdee. lite Resolutions were then agret•d to, end the Report ordered to be received on Monday. FRAME-WORK KNITTERS' BILL. fir. MANSFIELD having moved the committal of this Bill, Mr. Hums and Air. G. PHILLIPS pressed the lion. Gentirtnan, at that late hour of the evening, to postpone the discussion. • • -Mr. MAN;Futt.n refused to accede, on account not only of the great importance of the measure, but of the state of suspense in which a great body of the people was kept by its agitation. , —(Hear, hear !) 111 t. Hoyle, Mr. G. PHILLIPS, Lord At.ThorP, end Mr. FINLAY, spoke in opposition to tt,e 13i11, upon the ground of its object being to shackle ma chinery, and prevent the manufacture of a cheap article, in the making of which there was no fraud, and What 3000 persons would be thrown out of employ by its passing into a Law. Mr. MANz•FteLD. Mr. T. WILSON, Mr. P. MOORE, Mr.C. PHILLIPS, and Mr.PAaEs, supported the Bill, upon the ground that it was an applica tion made unanimously by Masters and Men ; that it had nothing to do with machinery, since the same frame which made the inferior, made also the superior article. That so far from 3000 men being thrown out of employ by the Bill, it would employ above 1500 who are now out of work, and give thorn all wages upon which they might live without being obliged to be maintained out of the Poots' Rates, as was now the case, and that the market would be no more glutted than at resent. After a few words from Mr. Ewcz in support fir the Bill, and from Mr. Hume in reply, the douse divided, tivl►en there appeared--- For the Bill 37 Against it Majority in favour of the 8i11.... 22 The Bin then %rent through the Committee, rind was ordered to be reported on Wednesday next.

In the Chamber of Deputies, on Monday, the Minister of the lateriot presented a Projet respecting the Corn Trade,'tiii effcet of which is to impose a permanent duty upon the importation of grain of l f. 25 c. per hectolitre, and 2 f. 50 e. per metrical quintal of flour, in fo reign vessels, and 25 c. per hectolitre of wheat, and 50 c. per quintal of .flour, iu French ships. When the price of wheat in France has lane!) to 23 f., 21 1., and 19 f., in the diErent classes of departments, then an additional duty on foreign importation to take place of 1 f. per hectolitre, without distinction of flag. Wken the price of wheat in Prance has fallen below the above rates, then for every franc of diminution there is to be an additional duty On importation (every flag) of 1 f. per hectolitre: flour imported in ihe above cases to pay double the additioni i duty if the price of wheat shall fall 3 f., below 20 1., 18 1., and 16 1., in the different classes of Departments, then importation to he prohibited.

The projet was ordered to be referred to the Bureaux. `i be 'discussion was resumed on the projet respecting the Estimates for the service of 1819, and it was again adjourned till Tuesday.— The following are extracts :-- " PARIS, JUNE I.—The King yesterday trans acted business with the Marquess Dessolles.-1-lis Majesty improves in appetite and strength. " The Countess Decazes Was on Saturday evening safely delivered of a son. " The Count Timeon, Member of the Chamber of Deputies, and the Baron Mounier, Peer of France, are, it is said, appointed to conclude, at Paris, an arrangement with the Spanish Commis sioners, respecting the losses suffered by . the French resident in Spain previous to the last war, in consequence of the confiscation of their po pery. " It is still reported that the Count Caro d'lstria and the Prince de Metternich are both expected at Paris. According to Letters from Germany, there is some jealousy between Russia and Austria re specting the tutestion of ineuence in the Germanic Empire. " The King received on Sunday the Ministers, Marshals, and other persons of distinction. Sandt, the assassin of Kotzebue, was still lir. ing on the 24th tilt. but in a deplorable stare.

THE FUNDS.--This being the day appointed by the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHRQUER for the different Gentlemen, who intend bidding for the ensuing Loan, to wait on him at twelve o'clock, previous to that hour a great deal of business was transacted, although a holiday at the Bank, the Funds opened at 66k, and went to 66i, 67, at which price they conti nued till the return of the Gentlemen from the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER. ONE O'CLOCK. THE LOAN.--A Loan of Twellie One Million per Month from the Sicking Fund, end funding of Six Millions of Exchequer to take in the Loan. The Minister does not give any pledge that he will not increase the Interest on Exchequer Bills, but says he will issue only 800,000 this year. Upon its being known, Con= cols were done at 66, but rose suddenly to 68-li, and at 2 o'clock they were at 69.—The Loan to be 801. Consols. Bidding to be in the Reduced on Monday next. We have expressed our approbation of the AT.• TOHNEY-GENERACS Bill to prevent Foreign En listment against our Ally, Spain, because the to leration of such enlistment would be a sufficient ground for hostilities on her part ; and, because it is more suitable to our national dignity, to prevent it in the present situation of that Power, as she is unable to manifest any resentment. At the same time, we confess that'we consider the intended en actment 83 wholly nugatory on other grounds, and we lament the folly of Spin in supposing that she can ever recover her authority over her revolted Co lonies, for if sh e could, she would be able to retain it only for a very short period. We often said, !Isar in our humble opinion, the best measure that Spain could adopt, would be at once to acknow ledge the independence of those Colonies, and to endeavour to secure a commercial preference in her own favour, which, from similariit•y of lan guage, and hereditary habi t s and character, might be practicable and proh:ible. OPPOSITION, however, gained no credit by their triumph last night, its the House of Commons, on the smallness of the maj,uity. 11 7, :! are happy to perceive that the Bill for the Relief of the Framework Knitters passed through a Committee of the noose of Commons last night, by a majority of 37 to 15.--When relief can be given to large and peaceable bodies of men, with out interfering with private property, it is always advisable to extend it• Our impression is, in the present instance, that this can he done, as the Bill proposed is supported by both Masters and Men, and by the Landed Interest, who came nobly forward, in the way of subsription, to en able the poor workmen to apply to the Legisla ture for relief. We trust, therefore, that a Bill of Experiment will not he lost, so obtiously neces sary, and po►rerfully recommended. THE MARKETS. CORN-EXCHANGE, JUNE 4. Not having any fresh arrivals from our oWn Coast since Monday, we had very little English Wheat at Market this morning, for which rather more money was asked ; but the expectation of a large supply next week ind u c e d th e Mill ers to withhold purchasing, and therefore Monday's prices could only he obtained. Fine fresh Oats continue in demand, and are Is. per quarter. dearer than err Monday, but the ordinary qualities are dull sale. In Barley, Beans, and Pease, there is no alteration. SMITHFIELD, Ju* 4.

The Dwke of Ket'q'r, attended by Capt. ConnoY, left Kensington Palace at one o'eleiek yesterday, and went to Marlborough House to join Prince Leoroun,from whence their Royal Highnesses proceeded to attend the PRINCE REGENT'S Levee. It has been stated by a Correspondent in a re spectable Morning Paper of this day, that " when Mr. C. Kammus posted up The School for Scandal for-his benefit, if any one applied at the Box•office he might have obtained tdmnst any situation in the Theatre 5 " but that when Mrs. SIDDONS was announced, application must be made " to Mr. C. liIIIIELE himself for 'places, either in the dress or first circle, as he let them all himself,"— Now there is no reasonable ground for complaint, as it is the usual custom when any extraordinary performance is expected on a Benefit night, Inc the Actors or Actresses to let places at their own homes, and if any persons had previously taken places for The School for Scandal at the Theatre, we may assure them that they are not in the least danger of a disappointment. I. is, therefore, probable that the complainant has " erred in ignorance anti not in malice," but we think it proper to set the matter right, in behalf 01 a respectable individual, and meritorious fa vourite of the public.
