day. The Militia 'Jfficers Augmentation Bill, the
Excise Duty Regulation Bill, the Addition Excise
Duty Bill, &c. were read the third time and passed.
Ordered to the Commons. Brought up from the
Commons the Additional Scotch Army Bill, the
Woollen Manufalure Bill, the Southern Whale
Fishery Bill, the new Clergy Residence Bill, which
were read a first time. Several petitions against the
Woollen 111anuladure Bill. were received, and leave
Was given to the pctitiOners to be heard by their
Counsel against it. Ordered, on the motion of the
Lehi Chancellor, that a message the sent to the Coin-
mons, requesting them to communicate a Copy of
the Evidence, upon which they passed the Bill. Ad-
journed until Monday.

• HOUSE OF COAIMONS.
saTuanav, tuts '2..
Mr. WICKii M rose to propose a measure for
-see rdiefof Militia-men's families in Ireland, while
the men were absent on duty. The reason why he
3 not sooner brought it forward on the same foot-
as a similar provision in England, was, that the
same class of civil officers for carrying it into ead
did not exist in Ireland. By this flit, it was in-
tended, in order to prevent fraud upon the public
bounty, that no person claiming as the wife or child
of a Militia-man would be entitled to such, without
producing a certificate from the Colonel of the Re-
giment, that the Militia-man, whether ballotted, a
volunteer, or a substitute, declared upon oath such
persons to be his wife (.r child, at the time of his
attestation. He then moved for and obtained leave
to bring in the Bill.
Sir H. MILDMAY wished to know from the
Chancellor of the Exchequer, if Tuesday next was
not the day for the debate on the Income Tax.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer answere.l, that
it was the objed to consolidate the Income and
Land Tax Bills into one ; he should on Tuesday
move pre forma, that the House resolve itself into
a Committee, with previous instructions to consoli-
date both Bills, and in this form the Bill to be re-
printed, and debated on the Monday following.
Mr. BASTARD wished to know from the Right
Hon. Gentleman, if the tax on land was meant as
a tax upon the net income, or one upon the value
of the land. The Chancellor of the Exchequer
declined an explicit answer, as not at this moment.
orderly.
IRISH MALT AND DISTILLERIES.
ALEXANDEII moved for leave to bring in
a Bill for the better Collection of the Duties on Malt,
and the better Regulation of Distilleries in Ireland,
Mr. CORRY detailed at considerable length, the
objeets. of this Bill, as not going to extract any in-
, crease of duty whatever, but merely to establish a
more efficient mode of colledion, the better to pre-
vent frauds on the revenue ; and as much for the
advantage of the fair trader, as for the crown : the
objet of those regulations were, to enable the
gauger to place malt in the best mode of fairly as-
certaining its quantity, by gauging in couch instead
of :to; and to empower the Commissioners of
Revenue to make such reduction as to them should
seem just, from the annual charge upon the size
of the drying kilns: to prevent malsters from mix-
ing malt of other men's manufacture with their
own ; to prevent malsters from dealing in malt, nut
of their own manufacture, without a malt-factor's
licence; to impose a penalty on distillers when spi-
rits in stock shall be deficient in comparing with
the officer's returns; and to levy fines upon town
lands, where clandestine stills shall be found, or
when spirits shall be retained without a licence, to
be recovered by Civil Bill. Lave given to bring
in the Bill.
IRISH LOAN.
Mr. CORRY gave notice, that he should, in the
Committee of Ways hid Means, on Monday, move
for a provisional permission to the Lord Lieutenant
of Ireland, to raise one million by Exchequer Bills,
by loan from the Bank of Ireland, in case the loan
for that sum already voted to be raised in Irel:ind
should not be filled upon reasonable terms. Ad-
journed until Monday.

FOREIGN lATELLIGENCE.

Crnom TILE MONITEUt.]

PARIS, 29TH JULY.
Nothing appears to us more curious to observe,
at the present moment, than the comparative atti-
tude of France and England. France armed for
the preservation of an old independent state, and of
an order of nobility ; England for its annihilation
and destralion. France claiming in the face of
Europe the faith of treaties and the rights of na-
tions ; England sporting with the one and the
other, and not fearing to borrow from the revolution-
ary spirit its proceedings, its frenzy, even to its lan-
guage, and its forces ! Let us be alloWed to dwell
for a moment -upon this assimilation. We think it
deserves serious attention.—There is no one who has
not heard of the complaints of England,-relative to
the changes which have taken place since the Treaty
of Amiens, in the state of the Order of Malta and
its possessions. It is certain that several Powers,
discontented with the new constitution of the Order,
and particularly with the creation of a new longue,
composed of inhabitants of the Island, and piti upon
an equality with the other impel, in posbers inffu-
ence and prerogative, have announced their inten-
tion to separate themselves entirely, and tO Incorpo-
rate the potsesticasof the Oides. Pim: Li it-France
