He would not expjtiatel& what Ministers intended to do, but he would say generally, it was their wish in avoid ex. tremes ; to avoid any thing that might endanger our Honour—not to !Anne the Nation into a War of ex. termination, nor to submit to anylnimiliation : To hold out that we entered into the War with reluet. owe, but had no fear of the issue ; That Mi. nisters asked assistance, not because they wished to go to War, but because we arc at War ; and that we are at War because we cannot be at Pence : That our °Neel is Peace on fair and ho, towable . terms, , but that we have, no means of obtaining Peace but by great exertions in Ouppott of War; That was the principle on which Government appealed to the patriotism o r 71 A ;.roanie:tt, Government was aainz on a prin ciple of firmness, for die support of the dignity of the King and the true interests of his People : that they would endeavour to maintain: dignity without arrogance, and that they would also endeavour to thew moderation without pusillanimity. tle knew that many imputation 3 hadteen cast upon.

He. had Uro u ght forwent! the present measure, from a convic tion of its necessity in itself, not for the purpose of chewing, that the charge of the want of firmness lied energy made against Ministers were unfound. cd ;—.So far from it, that 1 - 1-1, begged to remind the Committee, when the Income Bill was repealed, he expressed an entire, approbation of the principle of it. as a Mr Tax, and had observed how much the Public were indebted to his Right Hon. Friend for bringing it forward ; he had expressed his ad. rnir.it6n of the ,system proposed by his Right Hon. friend, a system to which, with some modified 6.2rif, he we must recur in the event of a 01 's °Nee, with which he set off for novtr, in eompony with Mr. STOWP, brother to the Col le:lor of the Customs at that Port, who had accom panied him to Town. At three o'clock His , MAI EstY set off again in his post-Chaise fur Kew, front whence he proceeded on to Windsor. This morning Mr. Ross, one of His Majesty's Messengers, arrived at Lord HAWKESBURY'S Of fice, charged with Dispatches from St. Peorshurgh; and, last from Hanover. He fell in with His Royal Highness the DUKE of CAMBRI AGE at Altona, from whence the Duke, attended by Mr. Ross, proceeded down the left Bank of the Elbe, on the Danish side, and embarked at a,place called Stuir-head, at the mouth of that River, on board the Amethyst Frigate, of 36 guns, Captain CAMPBELL. His Royal Highness kid the Satisfadion of finding PRINCE WILLIAM of GLOUCESTER on board before him. After deliver. ing his Dispatches, Mr. Ross proceeded to Windsor to intorm Their MAJ rsTus of the safe arrival of the MIKE of CAMB RIDG E yesterday at Yarmouth, and he acquainted the Dur.z of GLOUCESTER of the arrival of PRINCE WILL YAM. Rear.Admirol `THORN SOK OU CH, in the Ge&kbeid, arrived yesterday in the Downs. YESTERDAY the Minister brought forward his Budget, which necessarily presented Taxes heavier in their amount, than any which -have ever been imposed in any one year upon the People of this Country; The Taxes are' distributed amongst three great Branches of Revenue, namely, the Customs, Excise, and Income arising from Land, Personal Property, Trade, Professirms, &c. In the first branch it will be seen by our Report of the Minister's Speech, that specific duties are posed upon the importation of Sugar and the expor. tation of Cotton, a general duty of 12 I per Cent. upon the present. duties, upon. all articles of Im. port except Cotton Wool, Tea, and Wine; a duty o f one per Cent.- upon all articles exported from this - Country to different partS. of Europe, and three per Cent. on articles exported to other quarters of the World. The whole produce of these duties, toge ther with an additional Tonnage duty, was esti mated by the Minister at 2.000,0001. after &Aka ing drawbacks. With respea to the Excise, it' will be also seen that heavy. Duties are imposed upon Tea, Wine, foreign and home..made Spirits, and Malt ; the . whole produce of which the Minister estimated at 6,000,c001. On Land, as we have already anticipated, a Tax of one shilling in the pound on the net rent is posed upon the Proprietor, and nine pence in the pound on the Tenant, in England, and six-pence in Scotland. The produce of this,, together with a similar Tax (of five per Cent.) on the Dividends received from the Funds, and the Income arising from other personal property, and a like Tax on Salaries, &C. and on Trade, With some modiftea tions as to the latter, it will be seen, by our Report of the Badger, to which we refer our Readers, was estimated by the Miniver at 4,509,0001. 'This sum added to 2,000,b001. the estimated produce, of the additional buties of Customs, and 6)000,0001. from the Excise, makes a total of I Z400 ) 0001, to be raised within the year. . On referring to the Speech of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, our Readers will perceive that the principle which he advanced, with reaped to the future financial conduit of the War, was what we have already stated to be his objea, namely, that of borrowing no more in any future year than the produce of the Sinking Fund (now 6,000,0001.) will discharge, and raining the remainder by Taxes, together with the ordinary Supplies, within the year, in order that no addition might thus be made to the National Debt. The whole amount of the, Supplies it will he seen was stated at 30,398,2201. to cover which Ways 'and Means were brought fbrwards to the amount of 30,687,7811. leaving. a surplus 01;89,5621. Yesterday Omnium at first bore a Premium of t per cent. but at the close' of the nirket it" left off at a half per cent. Discount. This morning the .

" Ifead-evartert at Nictvkaurg, lime 4. CITIZIN MINISTER, "A had the honour to inform you, by my Letter of the iStb• ult. of the march of the French Army towards Hanover. - After a march excessively fatiguing across arid sands and marshy heaths, I took a position on the 3 tat before Wechle.. • I was assured that the Enemy guarded the linc of the Hunte. Gen. H SINIV KST It IN, commanding the advanced guard of the KING of ENGLA No, occupied Diepholtz with the SeCOild and Sixth RegiMents of Infantry, two Regiments of Cavalry and a Division of Artillery. I made my dispositions to dislodge Win on the following morning: The Second Divis i ion com manded by General SCIITNER, that of Cavalry under the orders of General NANSOUTY, received orders to post them. selves on Goldenstedt, to force the passage of the Howe, and to dire& themselves upon Suhlingen, that they might cut offsevery thing they might. find between that place and Diepholtz, which the Division of General MolvrarcitAan had orders briskly to attack. The Enemy seeing that by this movernani he was turned. on his right, retired during the night to Gersten. " On the Ist inst. the Advanced Guard, commanded by General Da nu rr, had a warm Skirmish before Bauvcn, with the Rear-Guard of thy Enemy. "..On the ad the Army united before Suhlingen ; the Ad vanced Guard moved towards Bersten ; it here fell in with the Enemy, and notwithstanding the superiority of Mini hers, and the extreme fatigue of the Troops, who had that day marched twelve leagues, General Wooer gave the order to attack. The Enemy kept up a warm cannonade. Some Squadrons ofthe Second Regiment of Hussars charged with valour the Light Dragoons of the 9th Regiment. They broke the line of that Corps, who fled, and we took several Prisoners. I was informed by my Spies, that the head of the Bridge of Nicwbourg was repaired, and that the Enemy had col leaed all his Artillery on the right bank of the Weser. I saw how important it was for me to precipitate my move ment. I marched my reserve Artillery, and I made all my dispositions to push and beat every thing before me in the Weser, to force the Bridge of Nievvbs-air" or to pass behind Stolznau, and intercept by that means the communication with the Capital. " The Troops were in march when the Civil and Military Deputies of the Regency of Hanover presented themselves before my Advanced Posts : they invited me to suspend my mar, ;11, and announced to me that they were ready to make advantageous Propositions. " My answer was in the negative ; 4 they returned to make me new Propositions ; I informed them I would listen to none,. unless I had the certainty of immediately occupying the Country of Hanover, and partknlarly all the strong placei belonging to it. After a .104 discussion, they signed ,a Convention, which s l accepted under the con dition that it should be ratified by. the respeaive GOvern. meats. You will see that the Army of the KING of Esc. LAN)) are Prisonersof War, that I am master of the whole Country, and particularly of the Mouths of the. Elba and the Weser, • 44 I have given orders to seize all the Vessels_ which art on those Rivers. The p Kt of Ciiitaa mos, the Son.of the -Ks NC of ENGLAND; and Governor of Hanover, judged it proper to give in hii'resignation before the Battle, audio mike his retreat in haste. He had, however, promised to die with the Levy en WM.4 it is probable, that Ale .will be embarked before we arrive at the mouth of the lilbe. 44 We found at Niewbourg 14,000 new... Muskets, and a good deal of Artillery. According to the accounts rendered to me, I prestime that I shall find in the Magazines and places of Hanover about loo,oes Muskets, and tnpre than °co Cannon. " I shall be thedaYsafter tomorrow in the City of Han°_ ver, the Continental Capital of the KING of EncLa to. I have found a considerable number of horses far remounting the Cavalry and the Artillety-carriages. Much praise is due to the care and zeal of General b 1.7- L A 1./I.V.
