particular part, adverting to its liability to eva sion, he Instanced .the possible case of a persOn atiing with respel to it in such a way, by a tem porary disposal or . sale,'. suppose for the ,term of seven years, by which• Means he would enjoy a certain portion of Income without contributing any part of. it towards the necessities of the State. He adverted to the circumstances in which the Estates of Colleges. were placed :—of these, for instance, whom he had the honour to represent. With re_ sped to some of those, a greater part was received in Fines than in any other way. These were con siderations which he deemed worthy the serious at. tcntion of the Committee. Some slight alterations and amendments were made in the course of the discussion to those parts of the Bill ; and to subsequent Clauses some verhal amendments were made on the suggestion of Mr. PITT and other Gentlemen. _ . _ With resoett to the layer parts of the Schedule A, much difFzymce of opinion seemed also to prevail. Mr. 11 1 . SMITH took occasion to observe, that seemingly no three Gentlemen understood the point in question alike : He would therefore earnestly re commend to postpone the consideration of the 6th Rule. This, after some further conversation, was as sented to, by the CH ANC r Li.OR of the ExcHEQUER,, and shortly after, the Chairman was diretted to te_ port progress, and ask leave to sit again. This being dune, the House direded the Committee to resume the discUssion this day. Lord CAsTtIikKAGH presented a Bill to enable the Court of lire tors of the East India Company, to make reasonable allowances to Ship Owners, for extraordinary expenccs attending the outfit of ships, dm which was read a first time. On the Motion of Mr. Wtvt. Sutra, an Account was ordered to be laid bdbre the House of the quan. city of Spirits imported from England into Ireland within a given period. The remaining Orders were postponed ; and at ball past twelve o'clock the House adjourned to this day. MAILS. •aitivso. Dos. /111111bUrel 1 . .. • . - • . • • . . o PILICII OF STOCKS.

The Country- will be able to appre. ciate, from this circumstpite, the weight that is so justly and properly attached to the opinions of Mr.' - PITT by the House of. Commons, and the prompti utle and energy: with' which 'he stands forth, 'both in support of the General Interests of 41te Country, and those of particular Classes, 'whose inierests may be compromi.ed by any-public measure in agi. tau Mr. PITT was determined last night to apply the whole .force of his enlightened mind to cthvince the House that the measure of .taxing the mull Stockholder, while other persons of the same Incon. e were exempted, was a violation of the Public faith; bat this txercise of talents and patriotism was prevented. by .the arloptign.of his suggestions of the preceding night. We read with.some surprize however, that the Minister professed himself un. , convinced by the arguments, though he•aeguicsced in t% recommendation. His motive for adoptiag it aeon this sround, we confess ourselves at a loss - to comprehend. In every Loin Bill a clauie is inserted, enacting that the Divlttenda iwayahl• at the Bank under such shall not . be liable to any tax what. ever. Now titis has very properly been , con. strued not .to, apply - to a general tax imposed' upon this speCiei 'Of property, at the same rate, end in commas:cuith all giber property. ; but if by utiy, aft of the Legislature, any other property is more lightly touched than Funded Property, it then evidently becomes a violation . of. the. Clause 'tO which . we have referred, and a dire..? brra eb of Public Faith. Some of His Majesty's Ministers call the present a,Tax upon Cal}itai,others a Tax upon kreorni, apd others a Tax upon Income arising .from Capital DGes not this happen becatis no one unifornt'idea is'adopted throUghout, and the grmind is shifted to meet the particular objeftion which may be Made to it ? Mr. PITT has come forward upon the present oc. cation_ upon grounds the most constitutiOnal and . pa. triotic ; and no man of common principle, or com. mon sense, will dare to accuse him of faCtious or Ulm or thy motives. His ul)jea in every thing is the Public Gthitl, ar; the Oitintry leas At present more obligations to him than it knows, and more than it, perhaps, can ever repay.
