e • p e a„- I ,t would cost him '23,0191. Th 2 Lord. Chancellor• very ori 'iTt'Y ordel•ed that the account should not be rendered. He contended that when they were in a situation to repeal taxes, ~eY should. first rst remove it from the sanctuary -of - justice.= o e „ sti eeo''areelegant writer said, is that security which the lits - si erntrlent of a country giieS to every individual:in the pos..' F t ee, ° I . I of. every thing h e h o ld s d ear —hi s property, his charac ins honour, and life." l'areea' it seldom happened that a man wen t Jan, to law but his neigas rs predicated he - .would go and frequently nor - a/id : tout good reason; and there wePe , tilsandit of lawsuits which the individe a' carrying it on knew 4_ l ' the defence could only increase his original debt. Whilst se :,taxaipon justice remained, he, for one, could never con lie 4 , to a vote such as was proposed for Windsor Castle. That .„, th ought would be a piece of unwarrantable extravagance.— nere was no fear, as he had been told, that by the removal of these low taxes the whole country would become litigious.— (A;tie present state of things was, that wrongs went unredressed • ,!'ing to this evil, and he believed there was no man in that troouse above 30, who had not submitted to many wrongs to his P , nerty with impunity on this account. Neither could he agree ith those who thought no debt could be contracted without 'an • it ' '`‘ ,o • l olig as justice was-denied to the poor, he would op- Pose those votes which Occasionally came before them for build ,churches, the•only occasion on which such a work might . e i‘ tt i eclar e d to be sacrilegious. obl' r. CA 14CRAFT thought the House and the Public much , need to his Hon. Friend for the observations he lad made on i'lletitaxation on law proceedings. He was sorry to hear what the fallen from the Chancellor of the Exchequer, relative to '0 Sal t Tax. The House he considered as pledged to the re- Peal of the remainder of this tax, on the sth of January next, and he hoped the Right Hon. Gentleman would not be the per ' r. to endeavour to persuade the house to an infraction of elr areement. No tax had been repealed, whose removal the so grateful or so useful as the Salt Tax. He knew that e•itight Hon. Gentleman was surrounded by those whose in. eres t it was to advise him otherwise, and perhaps he was °bl 'ged to th row ou t th e o b servat i ons h o h a d ma d e . But he !arm e d nun that these. persons were interested—that they were ,n,.,Oet consumers, whose part he (3lr. C.) had always taken. Upon whol e ,the statement of th e Ri g ht Hon. Gentleman had dis fdpointedhun..The Coal Tax he thought had been well select ", but he was not so clear as to the duty on Wool. The removal pthe duty on foreign Silk, he feared, would open a fearful corn etition to the English Manufactures. But what he thought dis 'earteniroa w as; that up to 1827 they were to hope for no further r e e ral of taxation. With regard to the vote of 500,0001. for a h• tirc hes, no one who- saw the necessity for them would )ect•to. But h e thought it would be well first to inquire for fate of those Church , s which had already een uilnd rof which one million had - been voted. Ile believed b the result i ' ati t i i rt inquiry would be, that the demand for that sort of s ate i e ng was not equal to the supply. With respect to the Vt r indsor Castle, he did not agree with his Ho.. kourable Friend (Mr. Smi'h). If the advance was warranted " 01 3; the state of the country, he thought it well bestowed Wee a great national object of that kind. Whether this ~a:st: done or not, a great part of the vote must go in ne vrlelairy repairs. With respect to the repeal of the tax upon t i o ": . it was too s canty and small to deserve cornmenda bt:iip, The relief was required, and he thought the 500,0001. for 4 gai ing• chu rc h es wou ld b e b etter em pl o y e d th a t w a y. He declaredatt that h e th ou ght the public would be disappoint- In an e statement made by the Chancellor of the Exchequer. de ns r epeal of taxation the object should be to relieve . the bur s t he people, in order to increase their energies, and ever to them to enterprise. It was their energy that had • 411 7 exerted itself when wanted for the salvation of the country; hi,`;,latever might be the wisdom of the Government, it was e J 'He arms and head of the people that the country must be eeilteerried from difficulty either in peace or war. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER hoped it ould not be thought that lie dissented from the latter senti , !nents of the Hon. Gentleman's speech ; and indeed he thought, 111 the course of the statement he had made, he had shown that !Itch were his own feelings and opinions. He might be wrong in the selection he had made of the taxes to be taken off; for tacit was the difficulty of balancing the different interests in a case of this kind, that the embarrassment in taking off taxes was as great as that of putting them on. The reason he would frankly state, for his having selected these particular taxes was because he thought they offered the best practical appli cation of those principles upon which he wish e d t o gu id e his official conduct; and because as such he thought them More likely than any other to return them the means of apply ing funds to the reduction of taxes up on ot h er objects. There Might be other taxes more opp ress i ve, but their reduction would not so much conduce to the interest of commerce, nor be eventually so beneficial to th e country as those h e had se lected—(Hear, hear !) Mr. BROUGHAM said he agreed with his H on . F r i en d the Member f or W are h am (Mr. Caleraf t), in thinki ng th at t h e project of th e Ch ancellor of the Exchequer would excite general disappointment. In calling it a project, he did n o t w i s h to b e un-/ derstood as tre a ti ng w i t h the sligle te'st disrespect the enlightened and sound principles which part of the lumin ous statemen t of the Ri g h t n on. Gentlemanl d to evinced. by i i ced. Ile con fi ne d hi s Commendation rat h er as applied beneficial commer cial change which wou ld be wro'd gl t it Gentleman. There were theman system Right Honourable Gen of the y points in the application of it which were undoubtedly new, which they could not be prepared to approve without farther con proceeding t sideration. With regard to the 170,0001, from the bounty taken off the linen trade, he con s id ere d it asamost valuable repeal. It was taken off an article to which it could do no good; and possibly much harm. By it the commercial Government of the country had gained great direct advantage. His approbation of the removal of the duties on silk would de pend on the time when that was to take place. The parties interested ought to be listened to with great caution, and Par. liarnent ought to hold a tight hand over all issues of money 0 0 that score. Such things were always the consequence of endeavouring to retrace our steps from a course of error into the l i ght path —we could not do so without trampling over those who had, t followed us in our delusion. When once they became sa- R l 'in o ed o -that the propositions of Government were correct, this euse ought, ho should say, stoutly and manfully to support ithaenstii He begged, therefore,_ to be understood only as approv- Att to principl es of the Right Hon. Gentleman's proposals. Mop vi T t liluty on Wool the result would prove that its remis dirt not operate beneficially to the lower classes. The Y on Silk. that the remisss of the same description, and it was admitted nefit the consumer.on of the duty on Rum was not in to be pressed his approbation The Hon. and Learned Member then ex productive ation of high duties on spirits of all sorts, as although the encoal habits among the people, and insisted that argument against I.lragement given to contraband trade was an reason why they shanyreasing the duties on Spirits, he saw no article on which nut' dbe diminished. Coal was the only other that this benefit woutldhad been remitted, and it was granted by the whole countr be received by one district, and not rally speaking, the richest while the parties relieved were, gene was on e mo d e o f re li e f members of the community. There 'Would next call the which had been omitted, and to which he attention of the taking something off the Sinking Committee —namely, by ing Fund at all Fund. The existence of a Sink. lie consideredthe fruit of one of those errors now daily on the wane, which would soon give way to a 4 1, 0 0 9:1 er system, y a and one mo re i n accordance w i t h t h e lib era l dopted at present by hi s M a j esty ' s G overnmen t on other • se. Points. There was, however, but one part only . of the zTht Honourable Gentleman's statement which rnet with his diist r ib 'Brou gham's) unqualified disapprobation—the mode of uting that part of' the Austrian debt of 27,000,0001. which azollinitsitlejors,,h madorereceived. Here, too, he would observe, that severe he had never heard, even from his (th e ' Opposition) side of the House, than the conclusion of to e rt pah2g_ b . t Hon. Gentleman's (the Chancellor' of the Exchequer's) ariZsgr u ic . upon the conduct of the Emperor of Austria.

The Ilon. Member then contended 'for the ex pediency of repealing the duty on Law Proceedings, the IVin dow Duty, and some of the - Duties on . Foreign Wine. From all . these dtfTerent sums, a further reduction might be made to a large amount, which would, lie had no doubt, proportionably increase the prosperity of the country. He concluded by saying, that he should reserve himself on other points till the details of the Measure came before the House: • : 7, ( ,i1 r. expressed his satisfaction at the statement which had been made by the Right Hon. the Chancellor of the Ex chequer. lie wished to know, however, why some relief had not been given to the . West India interest—'whiCh he expected would have received a remission of at least 7s. per cwt. Off the duty on Sugar. He also thought that a • reduction might have been made of a - million or a million and a half in the Duties from beer, and that there was no reason .why a poor man should pay thirty-five shillings a barren for what a rich man paid twenty-five shillings. Ile also objected to the retention of a sinking fund which was only plausible as a support to public credit. He also argued in favour of dimin ishing the duties on home and foreign spirits, and that on for eign wine, and further insisted that the whole of the assessed taxes ought to be repealed, and the Sinking fund appropri ated to the public service. The Hon. Member next adverted to the tax on law-proceedings and urgently recommended the Chancellor of the Exchequer to peruse Mr. Bentham's argu ments against that duty. He concluded by opposing the vote of 500,000/. for the building of churches as a partial measure. Mr. ROBERTSON approved of the taxes which had been proposed to be remitted by the Right Hon. the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and dwelt on the benefits which the country had already received from the Sinking Fund. Mr. G. BENNET complained of the changes which took place in the currency of the country, anti assured the Commit tee that the agriCultural interest was at present by no means in a flourishing condition. He also strenuously opposed the grant for the building of additional churches. Mr. DAVIES GILBERT merely rose to express his wish that the Salt Tax should be allowed to expire. If free of duty salt would be extensively employed in agriculture, and also in the coarser arts, such as pottery and brick-making, &c. Mr. BROGDEN then proceeded to read the Resolutions.— On coming to the second Resolution, Mr. BARING rose to inquire by what means the Right Hon. the Chancellor of the Exchequer proposed to raise money to pay the dissentients. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, the means employed would of course depend upon the amount of the sum required, Whether it would be by a new loan (which of course could not be. called an addition to the debt) or by an issue of Exchequer Bills, he was not now prepared to !tray. The rest of the Resolutions were then read, and the House resumed, when the Report was ordered to be 'received to morrow. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved that the Report of the Committee of Supply should be brought up. Mr. WARitz asked a question respecting the new Dock at Sheerness, which Was satisfactorily answered .by Sir GEORGE CLEAN, who stated that a few pounds wouldeiender it perfectly applicable to all the purposes for which it was intended. Mr. HUME wished to know whether it was the intention of Government to expend the other half million yet to be laid out. If the Howe was the only ship too large, it was not worth while making alterations in it. Sir GEORGE CLERK said it would not come to more than 401. Mr. HWIE wished to know whether it was intended to persevere in the work ? Sir BYAM MARTIN said it would make but a small ex pence. Mr. BENNET asked whether the pledge was to be kept, that no further works would be engaged in? Sir GEO. CLERK said he supposed the Hon. Member alluded to a pledge given by him. He had stated that a large sum would be necessary for the new part of the yard ; but rent for some time to come would be taken for a repair of the sea-wall. The money was laid out in repairing the sea-wall. The report of the Supply Committee was brought up. Mr. HOBHOUSE repeated his question. which had not been answered on a former night—whether the Mews was to be converted into barracks ? . Lord PALMERSTON said, barracks were there at present, and it was intended to continue them. On the vote of the Committee for increasing the ;Unitary Force being read, Mr. HUME decidedly objected to so large an establishment. The Hon. Member again contended that the expence was more than the country ought to bear. He read an extract from the speech of a Noble Lord (Castlereagh), delivered in 1817, where he called the attention of the house to seven millions as an ex travagant vote, and the Noble Lord recommended not snore than six millions and a half. The general opinion was, that the estimate to which he had alluded ought to be reduced, but this year the country was to support a larger establishment than in 1017. On the whole, there appeared to be a determination to make Englaud a military nation, which we ought not to be. There appeared, he was ready to admit, o n the part of the present Ministers, a disposition to do right for the country in all matters with the exception of the military establishment. The estimate of the number of men appeared to him to be wrong.— If it were reduced 10,000 they would do right. He considered it his duty to persuade the House to make that reduction from the present number. The House and the nation had nothing but peace to look for. Mr. Hume concluded by repeating the motion he made in the Committee for reducing the Estimate. Lord PALMERSTON said, this question had been so fully discussed on a former occasion, that he should not trespass on 6,o T ohoe,OHooolu. the time o f th e House by re-arguing the matter. He ro se for the purpose o f corr ecting a mistake under which the Hon. Gen tleman lab oure d , w ith res p ec t to the establishment of 1817. The establi s h ment t h en was 107,000, a nd the expence 6,644,0001. The establi s h ment t hi s year was l ess , a nd the expence short of se then divided- For Hume's Amendment - • 8 Against it - - . - 52 The Resolution was ia a j g o r r e i ed ty to. Mr. HUME observed, upon the question for agreeing to 142,0001. for the pay of Reduced Officers, that the Chancellor of the Exchequer had made a mistake in saying there would be a reduction in the half-pay ;it was a dead weight, and there would be no reduction. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER assured the Hon. Gentleman he himself was under a mistake if he supposed that any reduction he had mentioned with respect to Half-pay was above the fair estimate. He had under-stated the estimate which the Committee had considered likely to accrue. Mr. HOME then stated that some increase had taken place this year in the sum estimated for the Out Pensioners of Chel sea Hospital. Lord PALMERSTON said, there would have been a re duction in that Estimate, but several regiments from India had brought home men entitled to high pensions for Indian service. The Estimate this year had reacited its maximum. The Resolutions having been read, the Report was agreed to. The other Orders of the day were disposed of. BANKRUPT LAWS. lIIr. W. COURTENA Y brought in a Bill to amend and consolidate the. Bankrupt Laws, which was read the first time, and ordered to be read•a second time on Wednesday. Adjourned at HALF-PAST TWELVE O'CLOCK. A FRACAS IN BOND-STREET.—About five o'clock on Saturday afternoon, a rencontre of a very unpleasant nature took place on the pave, at the door of Long% Rotel. Two Military Gentlemen met ; high words ensued, and a blow ; the latter was inflicted by a heavy horse whip on the shoulders of Captain F. The as sailed party had only a light stick. The blows followed each other in rapid succession, and with tremendous force, not only over the back, but the face, neck, arms, and legs. The unequal contest was not long maintained ; the person thus assailed fell in the passage to the coffee room, and called for a constable, whilst the as sailant walked quietly away. Another Account.—A rencontre of an un pleasant nature took place in Bond-street on Saturday last, between a Mr. F a, ]ate of the 13th Light Dragoons, and a Mr. F—n, in which the former was horsewhipped, in conse quence, it is said, of some expressions said to have been used by him to the deterioration of Mr. F------D's character as a Gentleman. The prospectus of the new Greek Loan will appear shortly. This loan is already at a pre mium. Lord BYRON has subscribed for 10,0001., and we have authority for stating, that a Gentle man closely connected with Mr. CANNING is also a subscriber to half that amount.—(Edinburgh Observer.)

THE StTIST. 40i8EJ1 QU.IS AICERE FAL,SUM 4-UDEAT LONDON, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 9.4, 18'24. The arrival of our Express yesterday, enabled us to anticipate the contents of French Journals received in usual course ; and we have no fur ther intelligence by Express from Paris.to-day, in consequence of the intervention of Sunday. CITY, Twelve o'Clock.—Consols opened at 91 to 9141, at which price they remain steady, with little doing. For the April Account they are 9141. 'Thursday being Settling Day in Con sols, most of the Brokers are busy in making up their Aici;unt. The CIIA I'ICELLOR. of the EX" EQUile3 Budget has had but little effect on the Market, the fall being only per Cent, as Consols left off yeqerday at 91-?,-. It is eNpected that, after the present Account - is over, they will get up. Up to, this hour I do not hear of any Express from Paris. This day being a Holiday at the Bank, no business is done for Money. FOREIGN MARKET.—Very little business is doing, except in New Spanish, which is on the rise. We have given a copious report of the CHAN CELLOR of the ExcnEQuErt's financial expos, and of the debate which ensued upon it last night, in the House of Commons. We reserve our observations upon the Right Hon. Gentle man's plans, until the less crowded state of our columns shall afford us an opportunity of •nter ing at some length into the consideration of the subject. BAYONNE, FEB. 12.—The French police is extremely strict at the passs of Behobie. The Prince of Anglona only passed the frontier be cause he had a passport from the Marquis of Talaru, our Ambassador; it has been again signed by our Magistrates, as he is allowed to go to Grenoble, thence to proceed to Italy ; but he has not yet quitted Bayonne. Several Spaniards came to the frontier at the time that he did, but not having passports signed by the French authorities, they were obliged to return to Irun ; among these was the Marquis of Florida Blanca. —The Journals have, by mistake, said, that The Marquis of Mata Florida had arrived at Bayonne ; they meant Florida Blanca, who, however, as we have just said, never passed Be hobie. There are reports of disorders in Estra madura; but no credit must be given to this news'; nothing indicated it, and there is nothing at pre,ent to confirm it in any degree. gern i appear to have been pretty successful cruising against the Spaniards. The Captain of a vessel irheAl in c arrived at Gibraltar, from Oran, on the sth instant, reported having met an mgerine squadron off that port, returning to Algiers to refit, having five Spanish prizes in company. . In consequence of the war between this country and A lgiers, it may b e i mportant to k now t h e nav i , a a l we have al rea d y i n th e M e di ter . ate following li st o f men o f war i s ex tracted from a letter from the Agents to Lloyd's at Malta, dated the 17th of January, which vessels had been at Malta a few days previous to its date :—viz. his Majesty's ship Revenge (Sir 11. NEALE) ; Cambrian, Euryalus, and ,S:ybille frigates ; Weasel, Martin, Rose, and Dispatch, sloops of war ; Diana and Nimble cutters. ALiattas.—(From the Royal Cornwall Gazette. )—" On Thursday evening (the 19th instant), the Cameleon brig of war, Lieutenant Burton, arrived at Falmouth from Gibraltar, with dispatches for Government, which were forwarded express to London, by Lieutenant Church, of his Majesty's ship Astrea, the Camsleon having been put under quarantine. The Came kon left Portsmouth with secret orders a short time since, and joined the Naiad frigate, Hon. Captain Spencer, at Gibraltar. They proceeded in company to Algiers, where they arrived on the 24th ult., to demand restitution of some Christian captives. The Dey re fused to admit Captain Spencer to a private confer ence unless he would consent to come without his sword—a condition to which that gallant officer would not submit. Hav ing made his propositions, he gave the Dey till the 31st to con sider them, and in the mean time embarked the British Consul . with his family, and the merchants, on board his ship. When the time expired, and no favourable answer having been return ed, the men-of-war stood out to sea, and at 3 p.m. (in sight of the town) fell in with an Algerine corvette, of 18 guns and 100 men, standing in for the bay. She was ordered to bring to, but having refused compliance, a fire was immediately opened upon her, which she returned, and in a short time the Cams lean ran her on board, and carried her in a gallant style. On board her were found 17 Spaniards (prisoners), who with the Algerine captain were take out of her. Captain Spencer then suffered the prize to drift ashore, she being too much damaged to bring away. 'The Canzeleon had some men wounded in the action, but the particulars have not yet transpired. The Naiad parted company for Malta on the Ist inst., and the Came/eon, after calling at Gibraltar, sailed from thence on the gth." Letters from Madeira, received yesterday, dated early in February, communicate most dis tressing intelligence. The American ship Nupo. lean sailed from that island on the 23d of Ja nuary, bound to the Cape de Verd Islands. On the 25th, news was received that the crew had mutinied, and that the Captain, mate, steward, and a Portuguese lady, were murdered ! On this intelligence reaching the Island, .b9ats were immediately dispatched, and succeeded in captur ing the vessel. The crew, it was expected, would be sent to the United States for trial. On Sunday Lord Viscount GRANVILLE bad an interview with Mr. CANNING, previous to his de parture for the Netherlands. His Excellency left town yesterday on his departure for Hol land. Sunday and yesterday Prince LEOPOLD dined with the Duchess of KENT, at her residence, in the King's Palace, Kensington. Last night their Royal Highnesses, attended by Captain CONROY and the Baroness de SPAEDTII, honoured Drury lane Theatre with their presence, to see the Tragedy of Hamlet and the Entertainment of The Cataract.

KEMBLE; whom we have seen fief Ore in the Hero of the Piece, supported.itlaSkrotil4 with such maturea ability, and such generaVex cellence,as well entitled him to the approbatiou of rigid .criticism, as well as to general appla4se. The latter he abundantly, and in some part . a,ens thusiastically, received from a numerous. au dience. We regret that we have no room for detail on this masterly performance.. We, must not, however, omit to notice, that Miss M. `razes Ophelia was truly, to use the words. of JOHNSON, " the young, the beautiful, the harm less, and the pious." M A RGATE.—This town has been so much um. : proved of late years, and the improvements are so much owing to the zeal, knowledge, and taste of Mr. JARVIS, the leading Medical Practitioner of the place, that the inhabitants in general have entered into a subscription, for the purpose of testifying their sense of his services by a public memorial of their respect, esteem, and gratitude. The subscription is far advanced, and is iu ac tive progression. This mark of the general esti. 'nation in which the character and conduct of that Gentleman are held is to consist of a whole length Portrait, which is to be placed in the Town-Hall ; and the subscribers have manifested their taste as well as liberality in having selected Sir WILLIA M BE E CISEY as the Artist, who is en gaged for an occasion so honourable to all parties. Ma. MARTIN'S BILL.—A Petition in favour of this humane Bill came from Manchesteryesier day, signed by above seven hundred of the most respectable inhabitants of that commercial town. The four leading Physicians of the place, and the SOCIETY of FRIENDS, have zealously engaged in support of this truly benevolent measure. We understand that a similar Petition is expected from Liverpool for the same laudable object,- It is gratifying to see such groat mercantile places join in promoting a purpose highly honourable to the country in general, as well as to the hutuane character who is so resolutely persevering.in the great cause of benevolence to those whom na ture has consigned to the protection of Man, SIR WILLIAM DE CRESPIGNY.—This worthy Baronet, we regret to hear, has recently suffered under the rupture of a blood-vessel internally, a circumstance that the public also must regret, as he has not been sufficiently audible, for Par liamentary Report, in delivering those sentiMents which are always marked by true public spirit, as well as by sound constitutional principles. DAvz THE COMPOSER.—The corpce of this unfortunate Genius remains at his iodg:n . gs, i s May's Buildings, and unless a few pos9ds are subscribed for interment, they must be buried. by the Parish. It would be hard, indeed, to throw any part of the expence upon the cha ritable landlord of the house, who afforded the deceased a gratuitous shelter for many years, during the latter of which he wholly inbested on eleemosynary aid. The Theatrical fraternity are always zealous in relieving distressed mtmbers, and a general contribution among them would be honourable to their feelings, and evince a due respect for a departed genius, who has often afforded scope for their talents and pleasure to the Public. The French, Russian, and Netherlanis.Am hassadors returned to town on Saturday from Windsor, whither (a, stated in a former Taper), they went to pay their respects to his MAJESTY. . . A letterfrom Pernambuco•of the 31st of Dec. received in Glasgow yesterday, stt . tteti, "that an order had been issued ten daysliefOre for all the natives and Portuguese to take'the oath of 'alle giance to the Eriaperor 'Don Pedro, - or'"to leave the country. This order liaving'been ill;Corhplied with, an order for the arrest of 350 individuals had been issued, but only 30 had been appre hended. This measure would niake it Verk,diffi cult for the British merchants to recover 'their debt.— (Glasgoui Courier, Feb: 21.) - MERCANTILE SHIPPING. . .
