lie-quitted it. He professed himself at a loss to con ceive where the unceV lay.- Lord HE PE replied, that the Treaties contained no provisions on which an acCurate calcu lation could be formed: Mr. WARD declared, that if the Treaties were inspeaed they would not bear out the Noble Lord's statement. Mr. ATKINS made some observation's on the Tax on So r, and Mr. HOLT LEE on that on Property. Mr. BABINGTON contested the justice of the Tab on Property. It would be impossible for men of small incomes to set themselves right without -in fringing on their capital. NOthing he believed would be more difficult than to persuade , people •in the country of the propriety of,. compelling' a man who had fifty pounds a-year to pay a tax of 51. while a man of lot ty-five pounds a-year. wholly escaped: Mr. VANSITTART defended the principle of the Tax. The Hon. Gentleman had Misapprehend ed it. It was not intended 'that the person whose income was but 501. a year should pay at the rate of ten per cent. The scale would begin at a low per centage at 501. and proceed by arithmetical pro. gression till it arrived at 1001. when the highest rate Of ten per cent. would begin. The Resolutions (39 in number) were then sepa rately read and agreed to, and Bills ordered accord ingly The Committee on the Treasurer of the Ordnance Bill was- postponed till to-morrow. On the Motion of Mr. VANSITTART, there were ordered to be laid before the House, an Account of the general quarterly average prices of Raw and Musco vado sugar, for the last six years, exclusive of all duties; and an Account of the value of all Iron and Iron Ware exported from Great Britain during the last ten years. - The Committee on the Tortola Free port Bill was deferred till the 17th of April. , VANSITTART gave notice,. that in.the Corn mistee of Ways and Means, on Wedneday - next, he would move for the issue of three nil:lions in Ex - chequer Bills:-.--Adjourned.

LONDON, TUESDAY, APRIL 1, 1806. AT a late hour last, night the Hamburgh. Mail, due on Sunday, arrived. We have not room to comment at any length upon its contents ; we can not, however, Avoid noticing an article from Ham burgh, which contains a new and more extensive plan 6f Continential Partition, which it is said has been agreed upon between •France and Prussia, and to i.:Bich, it is stated, the KING "of Pxus- SIA is endeavouring to • obtain the consent ,Of Russia ; the plan, however, is so grossly absurd and unjust, - C:at we cannot suppose that Prussia, with all the disposition she has evinced to comply with the proposals of BONAPARTE, would for a moment con sent to its still less can we imagine that the Cabinet of Berlin would seriously propose it to the EMPEROR . 'of RUSSIA for his acquiescence. • Private Letters from Holland state, that BONA PARTE has offered the Dutch the choice either to have a King of his nomination or to be become a Department. And this important measure will, it is supposed, be the first subjea that will engage the attention of the Dutch Legislature, which is to as ' s.rnble at the Haugue this day. Sir RICHARD•STRACKAN, WllO sailed on the 27th January•last with six Sail of the Line in pursuit of one ofthe French Squadrons, has never been spoken with or heard from since. The period of his cruize is now out, and had he not been in pursuit of the :Enemy, he must by this time have rejoined the . Channel Fleet. It is therefore almost a certainty that he has either pursued SEitOME BoNAPARTE's Squadron to the West Indies•or to the Cape. A fortunate issue may therefore be cot,fidently ex ,peeled. • Since writing the above, we learn, that private Letters to.the following elfed have been received at LLOYDS : " The West India Fleet which sailed from Ports mouth_ on the 2sth January passed Madeira on the 23d February. Sir RICHARD STRACHAN'S Squadron, Consisting of seven Sail of the Line and.two Frigates, arrived off Madeira on the 1 oth of:March (having seen the above - Fleet to the Southward), and re mained off that - Island on the 14th : the day before twenty, Sail:of Vessels were seen from the east end of Madeira, particulars .unknown." A very interesting conversation took place last night in the House of COminOns, on The subje& of the new Taxes. Mr. FitANcls,expressed his disapprobation in general of the Taxes proposed by the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER; andalso declared his dissent from the opinion entertained by His Majesty's Ministers with respeat to the advantages which theqountry derived , from - the Sinking Fund. Mr. Fox; in :a very able reply, defended that measure ; and complimented the late Minister for the firmness with Which . he bad adhered to, it. A considerable part of the dis 7 We under- cession related to the PrOperty Tax. stood from the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER 'and Mr, VANSITTART that the Tot l 3 to_onerate to its full extent upon Incomes, above 1001. a year ; but it is' probable'that some modifications will take place when the Bill comes into a'Committee." • -Mr. JEFFREY, of Poole, last night gave in the House .of Commons, thaf - he'shoula . on Thurs day the 17th instant, 'bring forward 'a Motion, the obje& of which_was, to lay the foundation of a charge against Earl ST.- VINCENT. Sunday evening their MAJESTIES had a party to a Concert of sacred music. _ Yesterday morning the Dukes . of Yonk and CAM BRIDGE arrived at Windg:sr. The PRINCESSES took their usual ride on horseback. ' - Yesterday the - King's Bounty was delivered, usual, on the Monday before Easter, td a number of poor persons at the Almoner's Office, White hall. • THE EARL of .MA CA ETNEY.,—Yesterday evening, at his house, in Curzon-street; between the hours of eight and nine o'clock, died this highly distin guished and most respe6table Nobleman, in the. 69th, year of his age, after a- life chiefly devoted to the service of his country. To trace his condua through the many arduous and trying situations in which the public service called for his exertions, would furnish an example of integrity, ability, and. wisdom, which all may desire, but . few can hope to attain. His loss Must therefore be not less regretted as a States man than it will be by a wide 'circle of friends, as a character in private life eminently endowed with social virtues and rare and splendid acqpirernents.--- GEORGE MACARTNEY Earl;. Viscount, and Baron Macartney, was created a Baron, July 10, 1776, a Viscount, August 8, 1793, and Earl, March 5, 1794, of the Kingdom of Ireland ; and a Barbn of Great Britain,-May.2B, 1796, by the title of Baron Macartney, of-Parkhurst,.in Surrey, and: of Auchin lech, in the Stewartry. of Kirkcudbright, ,and was a Knight of the Bath. His 'Lordship married in 1768, JANE, Daughter of the late Earl ofßutE, but has no issue. The. title is therefore extbiEt. . .The Diligliice Sloop of War on Friday sent into Boulogne Roads a Boat, with the Gunner, Purser, aild twelve men, to endeavour to cut something ult J. but they were discovered by the Frenchmen on ghore, and taken and carried into Boulogne, It is probable that the Boat has lost several of her Crew, as she sustained a heavy fire. The Astrea Frigate arrived at Cork on the 22d ult. from Cuxhaven, with 35 Sail of Transports having on board the German Legion. - It is remarkable, that upwards of 100 of the Crew of His MajestFs Ship Northumberland were raised at Greenock. Some American Papers of • the' 12th 'of February state,, that the Committee 'on that part of the Pre sident's Message relating this Country, have pro posed ' several- - Resolutions ; • in which-Ist, The' President is required to insist upon the restoration of the American property captured and condertmed ; and, 2dly, The expediency of the non-importation , of BritiSh goods is urged. A motion for putting an end to the intercourse with thWConntry has been made by one of the Members.—An article from NeW York, of the loth of February, says, " subje& of the non-importation of British goods has been deferred in, the Lower - HouSe of CoDgress for a fe',w days; irl the mean time the SeCretary of the Treasury is to lay before the House an ac count of Exports and Itni)Orts to and from Great Britain." • • Private letters from Dusseldorf say, that. two French Commissaries have arrived in that City, and announced to the Authorities, that a body of French Troops will, cross the Rhine near that City, and pass through it. 'lt is believed thAt these Troops are destined fur Holland. • . The Corps of MARIA TitEßEsa, newly raised at Vienna, is to be augmented by six Companies of Grenadiers. The Archduke CHAELEb is extremely aaive in every thing that can ameliorate the condi tioit of the Austrian Army. The late attempts to assassinate BONAPARTE, though they miscarried; cannot but fill him with alarm, lest the next ball aimed at him may be more successful. Such is the condition of an Usurper-- amidst all his triumphs he cannot but apprehend that every moment his career may be at an 'end. Bi 4 the terror of such an event is not confined to the Usurper himself ; it must operate with equal force in the minds.of those whom he may employ as the instruments of-his ambition, venality, and op pression over other States, whose rightful Govern ments he may abolish. The Opera of Richard Cana dr: Lion, after having been -banished from the French Stage for sixteen years, was lately revived at the Theatre de L' Opp - a Comique at .Paris.--The interest whiCh this Piece excited after so long an' interval, and such a succes sion of dreadful events,, was very great. It is, how ever, rather surprizing that the French Ma ages should have ventured to bring forward this Piece, as the imprisonment of the Hero was, during the con finement of Louis SEIZE, COMlcaed in popular sympathy with the fate of that unfortunate Mo narch, and was'consequently calculated to. awaken a melancholy sense of the, oppression and disgrace which have been hi-Ought on France be a detestable and tyrannous usurpation.
