'A long conversation,, in which .the Duke of MONTROsIi, the LORD CHANCiLLOR., Earl STAN- Hops, Lord fIAWICRNDUR Y, anti His Royal High. netts the DUKE of CLARE:ice, were the principal Speakers, ensued..

According . to the provisions of the Supple. mentiry Militia, and Army of ,Reserve-Ans, a de. dunion was to he. made in the quotas of Parishes,. according to the:number of ballutted men belonging. to-Volunteer Corps in each Parish. "Flielt-ddittonal FoKe An, Which professed to bi . founded•upon a similar principle, although it stiverseded the opera tion of those Acts, was, in his judgment, delenive, and required . an alteration upon the point 'he re ferred to. Tht CHANCELLOR , ' of the EkCIIEQUER . thought there was no necessity whalevei. for the al. which the Honourable Member recom. mended, ai it must appear from a full consideration of the , ternis of. the Ail, that in fixing the quota,for each Parish, reference was to hi always ltad.tO the numher of Volunteers it furnished. The Motion was agreed to, and a Bill was brought in to explain the said MI,. so fat as it- relates to money recelvettby the °Meats of Nr,oluntser Corgis, for the use of such Corps, and that such.Oilieers shall not be deemed Public Accomptants, &c. This Bill was read a first and second time, and committed for to-morrow. STAMP DUTY. On the Motion of Mr. liusictssow, for the third reading of the Startfp Duty Bill, 'Mr. FONBLANQUE said, that hisobjeftions to this measure, particularly to the increased taxation upon, Law Pruceedingss, ImAirsod unaltered., lie had heard nothing whatever from- those who p ro . i fessed to support t, to induce any change in his opinion. Mr WILBERFORCE stated, that he bad re. ceived a Petition from some of his •Constitueets to present to the 1-louse against the. Provisions of thi s Bill, respeding Promissory N rtes and Bids of Ex. change of a small amount ;. but he was aware that he could not present any Petition against a. Tax Bill. He would; boweVer, read this Petition as 'a part of his Speech. The SP E4IICIiR submitted to the judgment of the Hun, Member, whether it would be competent to any Member, according to the established usage, to read a Petition which he, was lust permitted to pt'esenr. Such a proceeding did not appear as at all consonant to the substance ef the Order which pre. eluded the admission of such Petition. Mr. WILBERFORCE resumed, and sta ed,, that the Petition he referred to was from the Trailers of Yorkshire, whose Capitals were small, and whose transatlions would be much impeded and injured by the propsed advance of taxation; . an advance whi c h by no means applied fairly, as the,tax upon hills of from too to 2001, was to be only 0. while that upon bills of from sto 301. was to be.fs;' 61. The Kilt..Pentleman strongly recommended to Minis., tern to reconsider this suhjeet, and not thus to ag. gravate tjte difficulties which the small capitali sts in the Wodlen Trade had to contevd with., The CHANCE4LOR4f the EXCHEQUER was sure that, upon a farther Lonsideration ut this sub. jeCi, the objedions stated by the petitioners alluded to, however respeCiable they were, would be found erroneous. Promiatiory Notes, he said, would no t he affetted, as would appear from a review of. the Schedule, to a just examination of which he relerted thole who were dispo,ed to objet to the tneasitre.• . Mr. WILBERFOLTE sa;d, that the appreben. .sinn of the ylischievoul 'tendency the Tax be re., ferred tr., was very generally felt among the Indus. ttious and respeaable persons to n lean he alluded, 1 A/IMAM emnrilewedwith his osnal.p,,int ;IA hum Our upon the tax on Law Proceedings, and the Licence for Attornies. The apology w hie], h e understood to be generidly made for this otrangement was, that it was a matter of regulation. Thus two things which had nu nathrd which ought net-er to be brought together, namely, taxation aed regulation, were combined, in order to defend a me,. suit width was incapable of justification. Ile - did not mean to condemn the wish expressed to prevent any facilities .to litigation; but the law, itself, w idiotic the addition of 'those penalties, „furnished a sufficient check upon that, for the whole tribe of lawyers always took ample care, th,t ifa man would litigate and go to law, he should suffer by it. It had been said that there was no good reason to com plain of those taxes,' as no Than would be affetted by them whose cause were jo.t, as those alone who failed would have to pay iht-m. This argument might have some rorce, if it were a mitter.of tai . nty, or any thing like it, that justice would always succeed in a law suit : the contrary was too frequently the case, ail therefore he could not attend to that argument. Those taxes he sin. cerely thought would have tte effed of shutting the door Of Justice against th e poor and the. Week, whom the expence of . Law Insist intimidate from any appeal te, a Court of Justice--for although such Courts were generally said '' to be open to all," ,they must be considerrsi open only in the same sense' in.. which the London Tavern was open—to those who had a long purse; The objett ut the modern sys. tem of Legislation. was to produce a summary decision Upon all cases 'where th e c r i m i na l' law wait) heap. plied, when punishment was to be , loilVied; hut when a man sought his right, when he lookcd for his property, every impediment was thrown in his way. On the whole, the Rights Hon. Gentleman pronototeed this a must urjustifiable measure--•one which seemed to be . : framed upon a riociple most ciontletely inadmissible in taxation, namely, that instead of calling upon men Ay cnotihnte accord. ing rte their means, the in •ney Nhuultt he seized wherever it could be found. instead of taxiog men indireetly, according to lair tu'es, thy C)l.“ , i- CELl.Oit of ExcH SQL, ca settned, to dais instance, to snatch the cash directly it Lerever tt ,was come. at.able. Perhaps the .Bight 1-lottourable ()co. tlernati had a craving Exchequer. P er h a p s he wh s , importuned for min t y; if so , he should sympaihiz e with him, and act Ville woulti 'with .aug fie would sympathize with the distress which prompted in .both cases; but it did not f o ll o w t h at he would approve of the robbery in either. In the latter he would certainly say, that the outrage was Afore excusable than in the limner because in the former the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER 'might contrive, by the exercise of judgment and justice, to procure money, anti he should not stiffer any pressure to urge him to an ad of injustice. After a Clause was adopted, on the Motion of •Mr..l - litszissoN, to exempt from Stamp'Duty any Commissions for the Officers of Volunteer Corps, the Motion was agreed to, and the• Bill was passed. ,1!) WM, lOU OUlCrlerii su n (41 , b. • LOALTY LOAN. The Report of the Loyalty Loan Bill was brought up, and on the Motion that it should be agreed to, . — Mr. Hu , Ktssou rose, "and stated, that since this Bill had been in the Committee, it had been found advisable to alter the arrangemen:s respedirsg the 'time at which the holders of the Loyalty Loan should declare their wish to avail•themselves of the terms of this Bill, and the period when the Lords of the .Treasury should signify the description of. Swck, in which their claims were to be satisfied. In theformeecase the blank ivas-filled up with the lath of. August, and in' the latter with the ma) ,of aflutter. it' was now proposed, that the Lads of. the Treasury should d!clare the Stock into which. the Loyalty Loarishould be convertible, On or before . the loth of September, an d t h at t h e L9yalty Loan Holders should have until the sth of oaoi r , to signify their assent to the terms •propOsed. The Honourable Member concluded with proposing an Amendment agreeable to Isis statement, which was adopted. The Motion was agreed to, and th e Rill was or. tiered to be 'cad a third time to-morrow. On the Motion of Mr. Hu:,Xissor t ,, t he adjourned debate on the Financial Resolutions of Mr. Jon N. STOKE, which stood forthis day, Was pOstpulied till A Return of the Qualifications of the Deputy Lieutenants of Militia ; an Account of the Militia Captains who have not the usual Qualifications; and an Account of. Arrears and Current Balances of Excise, due from 'the several Officers in England, on the sth of January, t 834, was presented . by - Mr. Account; were ordered to lie on the Table, and the latter was ordered to be printed.

LONDON, 3U LY tB , 1804. We have far tome time entertained a c l ,.filcnt opinion that the differences bet ween the Mut:ern Powers and France were drawing to an i3sue, ► we distindly stated, that their refusal to a( Icoo‘v.. ledge BONAPARTE'S usurped title of Emperor of `France, would accelerate the crisis. Our expe6iii• tions have Id a considerable degree been realized. The .K ING of SW so err has positively refused to re cognize Bo NA PA R e as Emperor, and his Ministeri at the different Courts have received ord,. , rs to make a Communication to that efrcet in strong and energetic. terms. The conclud of the KI NG of Sw a N may. be consiiered as dieisive evidence of the sentiment of 'Russia upon this suhjedo becatise it is by, no means probable that his SWEDISH MAJESTY Would BO uneinivocally commit himself, if he were n at assured of the c-a -operation and support of the bin. peror ALEXANDER.' Situated as Denmark ki being, in consequence of the recent 'encroachments of the Fench, so much more exposed to their attacks, it is not improbable that she may for the loesent find i; expedient to adopt that temporizing policy which other States - I.ave had recourse to. It is ob servable, that of • late the Aloniteur has contained several articles direded against Russia, as it to prepare the pol,lic mind fa that rupture which . appears likely so soon to take place. By the last Dablin M.il, it appears that tl ie j i ish Government is wisely and laudably adopting necessary measure to ensure the internal tr,,,,goill it Y of that Country, as well as to guard it ;loins! a"Y attempts of its Foreign Enemies., We again fel''' t the opinion which we have already so, confii , " 4 stated, that. there is no foundation for the rumou rs which have been indostriausly,cireulated the disturbed stare . of Ireland.-=ln point 01 I' d ' the Irish Government did receive information il hlt two or three Emiisaries from France had got i ' R) the Country, and it tiecame necessary of Cou r4 to adopt the proper measures fur their apprebe" . sion, by issuing Proclamaticins and ofriing wards. This eirckuustance, added to the disturbanCo among, some jauroeymen respeding an increase ()I wages, has been magnified into an appeararAe )1 general Insurredion.. That thete are m di"'' 0 1 idled lienl , lc in that Country, we have but too in ll report u) be eonvineed ; but we &UP , that the vigilance of its Government, aid d '`' aai ye loyalty of tile mass of its poi:illation, secure it against the secret machinations of its ternal, and the (Tel') attacks of its external E.-" Inies.
