fi . gtade the lowest man In the Country, tIY supposing that such an individual did not feel disposed to eon_ tribute-liberally to the support of the Government in the present Contest in which we were engaged ; yet he could not but think that the .Test on Barley and s Malt would be•carried by the present measure to too great an extent, and he was informed by very respettable Constituents, that it would be too heavy for them to bear. • The CHANCELLORS' the EXCHEQUER said, he was afraid if the Committee adopted the Propo. sition of his Hon. Friend, which he hoped they would not, they must forego the means of prose , euting the just War in which we were engaged, to the amount of 2,7oo,000.1.• for if they abandoned a moiety of it, the remainder would go into the Pockets of the Brewers, in consequence of the rise which would unavoidably take place in the price of beer. He would therefore rather forego the whole, than .reduce the duty in the manner proposed, which would be of no advantage to the•Publie, who would have to pay to the amount of the whole duty. They must in this consent to the whole duty proposed, or abandon it-altogether, .or else impose a great hardship and severity on the Brewer, by fixing a maximum on the ptice of beer, which would only tend to lower the quality of the beer. He knew, of no tax so little liable to objedion which would, produte the same amount. If they meant to raised great part of the Supplies within the year, they' must tax the whole of the -property of the Country, and unless they made up their. minds that we should spew ourselves capable of supporting a Protraded contest, it would be better to make peace upon any terms that the Government of Ftunee chose to dictate. Sir Roll ear BuxTott suggested a tax upon Coon. try Bank Notes instead of the present. Mr. PANSITT,ART said a tax upon Country Bank Notts would not prOduce a tenth part of the sum proposed by the present duty, as a Stamp Duty, to the amount of 300,0001. would put a stop to their eirculatiOn. Adverting to something that had been said respecting the stock on hand of the Malt. stets, he said that the first instalment of the duty tm , that stock, was to be paid on the 25th of Sep. tember, the second on the 26th of OttAer , s he third on the 25. th of becanbcr, and the fourth on the 16th of January, 1804. Mr. Gun suggested the propriety of making the first instalment smaller, and giving the Malt. MIS more time to pay the duty. The CHANCELLOR of• the EXCHEQUER said; he was inclined to adopt the ,suggestion of the Hon. Gentleman. There would, however, be time to consider it between this :and the Report When any provision might be proposed relative to that sob eft. Mr. WR 1 VAAL HA RVE if, Mr. PATIASOIiand • ISOM! colter M , •mbers took.a part in the discussion.

Municipal Councils of the 'chief ,qties of the Dee pattlitent have been convoked for the same purpose. The result of these deliberations will be presented to the Chief Consul on his arrival at Brussels. The French Papers are particularly barren of In. telligence. The Manitear still teems with Addres. set. That of the tgth contains remarks upon the Speech of Lord HAWitislitnur, on the Motion for an Inquiry into the conduft of Ministers ; and that Paper of the tad gives a translation of the Article which appeared in The San of the 17th instant, re lative-to the loss of Hanover, with a Note on part of it, in the same petulant style which charaEterizes all the writings in the lifoniteur, Citizen LEZAY MAMESIA is appointed Minister Plenipotentiary of the French Republic, with . his Royal Highness the ELECTOR of SALM:10111M Citizen Brorrotg is appointed in the same quality with the ELECTOR of Hesse 'CASSEL, and Citizen PORTAL'S is made First Secretary of Legation at the Court of Prussia. There is not a single capture from the English mentioned in the Papers which we have received. The French Funds on the 21st, 48. go. THIS morning three Hambirgh Mails arrived. They were dispatched by the way of Tonningen, in Denmark. The following are their principal con. tents : HA MBLIRG H, iv NZ' 10.—We have received here the sa. tisfadory and certain intelligence, that His Plt USSI A N MA. J tyr v will make the security and freedom of trade of the Haase Towns the 'pat ticular object of his care, and that he has already entered into Negotiations with the French Go. vernment relative to it, the issue of which, we have every SU4SOrt to Batter ourselves, will remove all the tears of our own. or V oreign Merchants. BREMEN. login... The French Troops in their march thew the greatest mind to the Neutrality of this Town, and its territory. The French General of Division, RIVAUD. who commands the Corps appointed to occupy the DuChies of Bremen :and Verden, and who has his bead.quarters at Verden, gave a signal example of this to his Troops some days since, when he visited this Town, by leaving the escort of Hussars which accompanied him at Hemelingen, the last Ha noverian village on the Frontier of the Territory belonging to this Town. About aoo French Troops which yesterday morning began their march from Lilienthal for Lehe, chose the longest and most difficult road, in order, as their Com. mander declared, to avoid the territory of the Imperial Town of Bremen. With respell to .the excellent discipline ob served by the French Soldiers, there is in this vicinity only one voice: General RIVAUD is particularly exact in this re. sped. HARBU R G, a uxt. 9. --Yesterday ;Soo French Troops entered this town and the neighbouring Hanoverian Terri. tory. The General of Brigade Fa Eit t has taken up his resi. dcnce in the Castle , ; coo mon will remain in Garrison here, and the rest be distributed in the vicinity. Stade has likewise been taker' possession of by the French Troops. BREMEN. ioNt Navigatiott at Static is not in terrupted: the French levy the cl;stomary Hanoverian Toll on the Elbe, and sutler the Ships (Neutral) to pursue their voyages without disturbance. The number of Troops which at first entered the Town of Verden was 16e+.), but a great part of these have since been sent farther, and distributed. CUXIIAVEN, Jung tz.L-Yesterday morning a detach ment of thirty French Hussars arrived here with an Officer. After they had inspeeted the Harbour and the vicinity, be ing informed that they were in the Neutral Territory of the Imperial City of Limburg!), they retired, having made but a short stay. Their behaviour was extremely civil, and orderly. The Commander of the Detachment made a friendly visit_ to- the Magistrate of the Distriet, Senator ANISCA. MENTZ, Junk; 7.—Almost all the Troops its the De partments of the Rhine are on their march to join the Army of General Mont t as, the strength of which was originally designed to be 40,000 men, and to this number, inconsequence of the circumstances that have taken place, it may be aug mented, or even to a greater knee. Yesterday being Midsummer-day, a Common Hall was held at Guildhall, for the elation of She, riffs and other Officers, when the present Sheriffs being doubtful whether the elealoU had fallen on JAS. SHAW, Esq. and Sir Vr i es. LEIGHTON, Knt. or on Jass. SHaw, end WM. ROW, Esqra. for the office of Sherig, Sir WM. LIIGHTON, and WM.

Thelate Auditor's Report of the City Estate, was read, and a Motion was made that the LOAD MAYOR be requested to lay it before the next,Cuurt of Common Council, which was negative/h....Atter . which the Hall was dissolved, and his Lordship and the Altlerinen went to the Council - Chamber to • hold a Court of Aldermen, at which Sir IVl,vr•i•nr'tt- B f , a xA4yl was sworn Alderman of the Ward of 'Bridge Within. RICH. CLARK. Esq. was sworn Chamberlain, and the Bridge.masters ivt.re swore into their ofgee. The Rulers of the Witernien anti Lightermene . Company were also sworn for the due performance of their Lace! Yesterday there Was a general muster in St. James's Park of all the Recruiting Patties, horse and foot, with their- Recruits, in the environs of Lon. dons We heat that the whole of the Troops whn so gallantly distinguished themselves in Egypt, arc to be formed into a distind Army, for the defence of ti.e Metropol4 dnder the Cottrittanclevs *to have already eondueted them to victory over the French. The t+th Regiment of Light nraguom, "who atte doing duty along the Coasts, haft a nightly ratrole from Dover to ftye, The'signal Stations are also provided with night-signals ) to that in case of an attempt on any part of the Coast, the communica tion would be 3IMOit instantaneous over the whole extent of shore. Amongst 'the projeaed Camps to be formed along the Coast, one is to he .in Cattle Hill, in' the parish of Folkstone. This, from its immediate proximity to the sea and commanding height over the. most vulnerable points fot effettltig a landing between Folkstone and Hy the, is certainly a most eligible spot. We understand it is the intention of Ministers to permit the Lords Lieutenants of Counties to nomi nate the Colonels to the new Corps to be raised as the Army of Reserve, The Captains and Subaltern . Officers are to he taken from the. Half-pay. The compliment paid to the Lords Lieutenants in this measure we cannot but consider as a very proper and . judicious one, as they will naturally nominate some persons of consideration in their respeeliVe noun. ties, whose influence will give facility to the rais. ing the Men. Orders were received At Plymouth, on Wednes. day, for the gth Regiment of Foot quartered there, and the 28th Regiment in Dock Barracks, t o hold themselves in readiness, to march fur Woodbury Camp, with the North and South Devon Rtlitnents of Militia, front Mill Bay and Frankfort Barrack*. By the Aft which received the Royal Assent on the t ith inst, the penalty for not procuring a sub. stitute for the Supplementary Militia is increased from to). to tsl. and every lICTSCHI hereafter to be inrolled in the Militia must swear to the place Of his residence, untie, and whether married or not -; and if married, that he has only one child born in wedlock. By a Letter from Dr, HARNESS to Mr. POWER the Surgeon, we are happy to he able to contradift the report of an Ophthalmia being -prevalent in His Majesty's Fleet. The West India Planters and Merchants held a meeting yesterday, and deteimined to petition Par. liament against all the dude: , intended to be imposed on West India produce. A Meeting of the Merchants, &c. Proprietors ref the goods shipped on board the sundry vessels that lately returned from the Elbe and Weser, was yes. terday held at the London Tavern, iii consequence of the request of the Ship Brokers, Mr. HANK ri• in the Chair. TAYLOR read a note from the • Com mander of the ConVoy to the ships returned, and which are now at the .Nore : after a good deal of desultory conversation, Mr. HANK E proposed, that, as it was. impossible for the Merchants present to come to any resolution that would he hinting 'on those who were absent, or on the Underwriters (part of the goods being insured here, 'and some abroad), they should adjourn to some future day, in order that some further information might be received upon the subjea.

The soldiers assured the'Gnvernor, that they had no ill.intention against him or his people, and only requested that their Colonel might he given up to them. They then returned to the fort; but the next day, finding that their request had not been attended . to, t h 'i.v met about +oo strong, headed by a Serjeanr, and marched to the foot of the river .Carrye, and fired on. the shipping : several of them were killed, and badly wounded by grape-shot, fired from .4 schooner laying at anchor.

In reply to this it was argued, that the Presidency. of Mr. Tow risers pirating gone through the whole El e ai on , a t t he Hustings,' without any kind of im peachtnent, it was !I'M right now to rettne his-Presi dency, especially as lie had produced a strong legal appointment.

Thetiamination Of the Witnesses 'on the,objec... tionable Vote; was then gone into. Nine cases were heard I five were decided against Mr. 'ft Elt4 ;lad four 'against Sir 'TnoNeas TvaTon.

THR THEATREN—Mr. EL LISTON, At the Hay market last night ) appeared, for the first time be core a London audience, in the arduous part of Richard the- Third. The gOod sense and organic powers of this Anor amply qualif',e him for a due representation of the Charaßet. The great feature of his performance was spirit, though he sometimes suspended it too much by the length of his ptuses, and by transitions rather too artificial. Upon the whole his rerforatatice was recommended by such vigour and energy as are rarely found upon the Stage at present. He was extremely well received by a numerous audience. Quick has *been 'Very. attraetitre at Glanceger and Cheltenham. He took leave of the former place on Wednesday, se'rmight, and of the latter the following day. he houses were crowded and the applause abundant. He is, engaged for five nights at Ludlow, and begins his performances there on Monday next, so that this , lively Comedian 11 keeps tnoving" himself, and is sure to move the risible muscles of his auditors.

The frontispiece, upon a grander scale, and lighter, and more elegant in its died than the present ones is tO be dvcittitis 4 with appropriate embellishments. The ceiling is to be changed from a sweep into a perfect fiat, so as to give to the audience in the one shilling gallery a .cdtnplete view .of the stage. ' The slips.ol the two shilling gallery will be cralvertcil into private boxes, and the whole of the. third tier of boxes is to have an additional seat. The new painting of the audi.
