At all events, the tacility was great, add he wished•the temptAtion removed, Upon the whole, it it was just to' tax the natives, he contend-0 that there was' neither justice nor poliby in exempting, the foreigner. Hb therefore moved, than an account of the exemp tions claimed by Foreigners holding stock in' the different Public British Funds, be . referred to the Qommittee. , . • • • Mr. ALEXANDER, BARING spoke against the mo tion, on the ground that it would be highly unjust to extend the P,roperty Tax to Stock held by Fo reigners io this country,.alter the honour Of' Parlia-; merit was pledged that it should not he done. The .CHANceLLotrof the EXCHEQUER agreed that it .would be unjust in Parliament to tax the property alluded to, afterforeigners had been induced to Vast it herein conse.quence of the pledge, which [sad been completzly mat e. lie did not know, however, whether it would npt be politic to .withdraw the exempticin at sonic dimatft period, nfter.

BVlrea he last had the honour of making a similar parrtion, he was told that some changes were in conuemplaiion; but still, after 18 months had elsi.sed, noise had taken place. He was told indeed that a report had been' made upon the subject in.ntintlier - place, hitt lie was alio toA con fideutly that it sct ! !gsted , no elierlual• temedy.
