•U-the liberty,that they could, consistent with tbe
safety of Ireland itself. He then concluded with
.moving for leave to bring in'bills to alter and amend
. the s.itd acts. >«.-«• '
.. Mr. Hutchinson said, he Cnnld not avoid expres
, ting his .thank* to the honorable gentleman, and to
the. noble .duke at Hhe head of the Irish government,
for proposing the repeal of the two arts in question".
It was not merely mi account’of the practira! good
.effects resulting to the peopleof Ireland from such a
measure, as of the conciliating spirit it evinred up
on tbe part of the Irish government. It was not
so much upon account of the good it would do, as
to the principle upon which that good would be
done. Ha rejoiced that his eountry was beginning
to he. better understood. It was not oppressive sta
tutes or humiliating exemptions from the benefits
of the constitution that could strengthen the Irish
government-riel it be taught to repose upon the
, Confidence of the people,-' raid-' it would repose in
security—this was the firmest basis upon which a
ny government could rest, and therefore was it that
be hailed the present proposition as a good omen for
Ireland.It was such a principle that'had made
this country strong, and which if extended must
npake her. stronger, in the cordial co-operations of
• people as sincere as they were brave, and whose
. constancy no system of sufferings had been able to
•hake. He rejoiced, that it was no longer thought
S mistaken policy, to treat soeh a people with the
same candour and liberality, that constituted the
trading feature* of their national character. He
had not hero present when those; hills had been pro
posed ; if he had, he should have-felt ■ it his duty to
have resisted them altogether,as unjust in principle,
and most severe in operation.
Mr. l’onsonhy vindicated the administration of
the duke of Bedford. end denied that that nohle per
souape had ever required the pissing of the arts iii
question. He added, that there had been no mighty
effort at reform in the proposition of the honorable
gentleman,’as the bills in question wcrtlld have ex
pired that session. 1 ‘
Mr. Maurice Fitzgerald stated, that he also had
been absent at the time of their original enactment,
and that had he been in the house he would have op
posed them.
Sir John Newport deferred the observations he
meant to make upon the bills, till they were brought
inla^he house. At thesame time he heartily con
ciii4s3 in the principle of any proposition which
weul to give, the people of Ireland a fair and candid
trpil. 1
~ .The motion was then agreed to.-* ' j
The honorable Mr. Pole brought irTthe two bills,
which were severally read a fitsf and "Second 'time,
and ordered to be coiumitted foi*Friday next.
Mr. Maurice Fitrgerald moved for leave to being
in a iiiII for encouraging the timber plantations in
Ireland. {(Ordered. ■
Mr, F 'iitr obtained Wave to bring in a bill for
routiriiiing certain agreements made between the

j IRISH BUDGET.
• Mr. Foster, the house having gone into therom
on'mee of ways and means, rose to move'the ways
and means towards raising the supply for Ireland
for the cunent year. He began by Stating the stale
;;ol"the Finances as the* stood at the beginning of
. the year. -.The consolidated fund of Ireland in Janu
ary last amounted to 1,365,000/. The balance for
the last year amounted to 464,000/.; the two se
, ventrenvtos upon the joint charge for Great Britain
and Ireland, he rated as amounting to 6,106,000/.
^he surplus of the consolidated fund fm the present
year amounted to t,478,000/. of which the sum ap
plicable to the service of the present year amount
ed to 311,0001. The interest upon the debt and
finking fund, he-SUt<d at 3,'274,0001. The quota
to be.puirf by Ireland amounted Io6,6l4,000l. Irish
vTtiWrenry, or 6,l60.000h F.nylish money. The trea
sury hills he stated as amounting to 541,0001. Irish
etinvnry, or 500,0001. English. These, together ta
ken, made a supply amounting to 11,129,0001. To
answer this, he now came to state to the committee
the ways and m<*ins whereby lie proposed to raise
this sup, ly, which were as follows-The revenue
. of Ireland'for the present' year amounted to the
,'fnro of 5,000,0001.; tt ii he stated to be more than
the revenue of tha last year by half a million, the
».distilleries have fallrn'to' that amount; which
deficiency* hud, however, in some measure, been sup
plied by the duties upon the importation of foreign
, apirits during that period. 1 There were then two
Joans, the one amounting to 4,333,0001. the other
Jv5OO,O00L; adding to these loans the revenue of
; Ireland for the present year, as stated at 5,000,0001
. they, together with the other items, made a fatal of
*XJ,l60,000l.; from which sum, if the supply re
quired be deducted, there remained an exVess of
ways and means amonming to 31,0001. He next
pfoceeded to state the NfwTaxes, whirh would be
appropriated eolely to paying of the interest of the
debt,. He was happy to be enabled, fo state, that
, the .egress of the debt was less by 400,0001. Ihatj
tUe inrreusq.,nf the income. The sinking fund, which
was atlitfkdint one hundredth part of the debt, was
now as dire seventy-first part of1t; and there would
be no unfunded debt, save that of the 114,0001. on
$Uie treasury bills, With respect to the exports and
.imports, bp stated that they hdd hot deerihised, tho’
,be admitted they hud out Increased:*!The dutiesoh
linens had decreased 400*0001.; .this however h*«d.
been made ap by an fa're-rse on other articles. The
exports of bides and.skrhi had decreased,' and also
worsted and yarn, but the derreaserfftb* export du
ties on these articles shewed the increase of the ma
nufacture of the raw material at home. With res peel
to the imports, there would be fnOod to .he an in
crease on the imports of raw material, or British
manufacture, so that where the home manufurtafe
was 4wt bene fitted by the import of the raw aateri
| it?, !Ee empire was beaefitted fcy Ui< eftreoAgemext
{given to the English manufacture. Hither to he bad
spoken 'merely of tt|« official vgluf. ,|n theyem
1800, the real vatu* elf the exports, of’.?nih menu
factor* anrdunted to 3t6O0.0Qdl.( in.i$02, to «|
million* ; ind in the years 1(508 atul l 809 on tl(ea
j^wrsge of both, the export dufies amounted to.J2
Millions. Here was an increase of from 9 millions
to 12 in less than nine years,, ■ The palifipf the Bri
tish exports in the same period, was in the ttmr
progression. In 1800, 40 millions ; (n.1802, 48
millions; in 1808—9, upon the average of both, 45
and 50 millions, sb that the increase upon the ex
ports of British was eqttal to one gth, while
that of the Irish amounted to not less than seven*
fifths. He then staled the sum to be provided for
the rhargr of the interest upon ..the debt, and the
sinking fund, as amounting 10331,269!. the interest
and charge of management for this, he staled at
31. 13s. 3d. per cent. The taxes to raise this sum
of three hondreti and thirty odd thousand pounds,
lie thus enumerated as follows:
First Tax— Upon the post office revenue, on in
crease of one penny upon the postage of each let
ter—which would produce £35 COO
The next tax was an increase upon the duties \
and customs of tea, raisins, and currants
which would produce 70 000
(This one item produced to the, English re
venue 270.0001.)
The next tax wus an increase of the stamp ;
duties, making newspaper advertise
ments, which now paid but Is. doty, pay
2s. which would produce 30 000
The next lax was an inrreaseof the duties on
Portugal and Spanish wines, of 12 gui
neas per ton, and of 18 guineas per ton
on all French wines—producing 100v000
The next was a small tax, to be levied by
regulation on the customs storage—pro
ducing
18,000
H"* nrxi was an tnerease of tbs'present
window tax, by 501. per rent—producing 85,000
With respect to the window lax, he stated that
no house having less than seven windows was sub
ject to the tax, and that even after the proposed
increase, the tax would he one halt less than what
it was in England, and even less than what it was
in Scotland. The whole of these taxes, togeih<r
with some items of small impart,the detail uf which
w!rt unnecessary, would produce a gross amount of
3^8,0001. which was 736'0l. above the sum requir
ed for the charge of debt and sinking fund for the
year. The right honourable gentleman tb.n con
cluded, by moving his first resolution, for the in
crease of the postage on letters. c v
The first resolution being put, • ••*
Sir John Newport rose. He contended that it
was full time now in (be 10th year of the Union of
Great Britain with Ireland, to look the actual state
of the latter country fairly in the fare, lie pro
tested against taking the comparison from the ex
a.rt period of tjie Union, when the country had just
emerged from a violent state of commotion, and
maintained that an era of peace, previous to the
1)tanking out of the French revolution, when none
of these drawbacks operated, was the fair period
from wllich to diaw the comparison. In the year
179-t the amount of the debt of Ireland was only
1,642,0001. and in January 1S10, it amounted to
81,000,0001. At the former period Ireland had no
interest to pay in Great Britam ; at the latter she
had to pay there interest to the amojintof two mil
lions and a half. Ever since me year 1800 her
debt had increased in a ratio of 7 to 2, while her te- !
venue within, the same period, bad only increased i
in the proportion to 3 to 2, yet the expense of ma
nagement bad increased nearly 5 to 2. He was
apprehensive the statement of the right bon. gen
tleman, as to the revenue of Ireland. nn.re../t.-H „n.
lirely on a falary. The export# „f Ireland; in the
year 1794, and in the year 1800, were 1,‘200,000).
less than in the vear.1794, and in the year 1810,
wcie only 400,0001. more than they iptd been at
that period. To expect an increase of half a milli
on, therefore, within the year, wa* rather too much.
He was far, however, Irom wishing to represent
Ireland as not highly produrtive, and as mrmstjr
ing, in a great degree to the necessities of Oreat
Britain. In grain, partirularly, the' increase had
exceeded all expectation, and had been five times
niore than it had ever equalled in any lormer year.
Last year there had been imported into this coun
try from Ireland 782,000 quarters of oats, being
seveo tenths of the whole demand from this country,
lie procerdfd to go through the (Jiiitreul items from
which it was proposed to raise the interest of the
loan, expressing his apprehensions that they would
not be equal to the desired object. He alluded to
the balances appearing to be outstanding in the
bands ol dismissed and deceased collectors of the
revenue, and contending that the sums owing by
these defaulters ought to be collected before govern
ment put its hand; any further into the pockets of
the people. . •'
Mr. Shaw, (Dublin) alluding to one of the names
mentioned by the honourable,baronet (sir John New
port), as in arrears in bis capacity of collector, stat
ed that the balances arose solely from old surchar
ge* ; that offers had been, made, to pay. what could
be shewn to be .actually due ; hut that the widow
and relations bf the deceased collector alluded to,
had byrn advised that they might with equal justice
be called on to pay the national debt, as the balance
charged againtt them. ; '’"4
Mr. W. Pole.corroborated this statement, and
expressed bis opinion that the balance alluded to
was pot doe. ri ■■■■■■> •-> :■ t
“ Mr. Foster in proof that: ths revenue was now at
least strictly collected, thought it nor amiss that
the. house should know that on the J2th of this
.month the whole revenue doe in the customs a
mounted only to 17,00*1. of which there was remit-1
,ted in two days afterward? 11,000). awl in the exristf
the. whole sum doe wat £6,0001. of which, In tw<><
days, there was remitted.22,0001. So that there:
was not in the bands of the collectors,, uuder the
present system, more, than the amount of half p;
week’s collection. £■
Sir J,.Newport explained. I'i£.?■•$.ysy>
Mr. A. Bating considered the pr sc tire of uniform
ly Mismg the loan for j»land m this country* -ve
ry grieqou* burden op the latter. It erase tofm
the want of those atrong exertions amongst the
’ great landed and commercial interest of that rows

The consequence to he deprecated was, that in life

gales of wind on hie passage, he pot into .’Malaga in
distress, 22d February, where the vessel ami cargo
were seized and sold without the ioioior ceremony
of trial. It was all done by order of the French offi

ing was that the property was American.
Is not the French government committing cveiy

power ?' What more can they do? They seise and
confiscate (the ceremony and trial of condemnation
is dispensed with), all American property they can
get at. Does that party among us which pre

to be truty American, remonstrate against these

New Vork, August 10.
On Wednesday last, at the court of general sessi
ons of the peace now holding in this city, came oft
the trial of Anthony Morales, calling himself
‘' General Antfrmy Morales, eharpe det affaire* and
Consul General of hi* Ahyesty Ike King of Holland,
residing near the Government of the United States*
on an indictment far obtaining by lalse pretences
Irom William W. Rodman of this city the sum of
40 dollars. The circumstances disclosed on lha tri
al were,—That some time in June last, the prisoner
came to lodge at the house of Mr. Dyde, where Mr.
Rodman whs then a lodger : That on the morning
after his arrival he applied to Mr. R. tor the loan of
40 dollars, representing himself to be charge des af
lairp's ana cuiimii ui iue King oI lloMaucJ;
and that, having on his return from Wakbingion
been robbed by his servant of his trunk and money,
he was in some difficulty, and requested the loan of
the above sunt, until be could negociate t ills on his
government. To support Ibis representation he
produced to Mr. R. certain papers and documents
in the Dutch language, but which Mr. R. did not
understand. In consequence of this representation,
he obtained the loan. , A lew days afterwards, the
falsity of his story was detected, and be wee arres
ted for swindling.
. In hisdelence he produced a certain parebment
which was said to contain his appointment, .but
whirb on examination was found to be only a let
ter of credit in the name of the Batavian Republic,
in favour of Mr. Anthony Morales, authorizing'
“ bis Honour”.to draw on the Dutch government
for such sums of money as he might think proper.
He likewise produced an Exequatur issued by the
president of the United States to him, recognizing
him as rbhsul general of the Batavian Ilt-public,
under which be had acted for about one month,<
when he was discovered to bean impostm, and the
exequatur recalled. It was urged by the prisoner’s
counsel that this paper Was genuine ; that the pa
per itself was evidence of his being what he repre
sented ; and that, of consequence, as « foreign mi
/n's/er, he was privileged from prosecution for any
offence short of treason ; and to support this posi
tion the counsel eited the law of nations.
The court over ruled this, and declared tbit the
paper must be prqvetl to be genuine before it rould
be received as evidence. The prisoner nut having
done so, it must be rejected. , . ~ * -
After an able defence by bis counsel, Mr. Blake,
and a very singular one by Dr. Graham, which
were replied to by Mr. Colden^thedistrirt attorney,
and a charge front the court, the jury returned 4
verdict of guilty. An arrest of judgment baa been
