Lord SH.E2FIELD, in supporting the demur

under consideration, recapitulated many of his
former arguments upon the sailed, and entered into
a variety of farther calculations and details in sup-
port at them. He contended, that the consideration

FAST 1141 MA AFFAIRS.
Sir ARTHUR WELLESLEY said, he w;she..l to
1 enqaire of Mr. Paul, whether he meant to bring
forward the charge against the Marquis Wellesley.
respecting Pars transactwns in Oode, this week f The
reason wiry he asked the question was, that it would
be mach more convenient for him to attend the dis-
cussion in the course of the ensuing week, as parti-
cular business require/ his going for a few days
into the coantry. His object, however, al present.
was, pursuant to his notice, to move for a Copy .4

with the Northern Powers, the embargo was laid
oss, which occasioned their cargo of Swedisti her-
rings to be spoiled.
Mr. ROSIE said, he did not give it as his opi-
nion, that no compensation should be given them,
but that the Treasury Board could not allow such
a claim by its own authority.
Mr. SMITH eaplaised, that by the Ministers
consenting to have the claim submitted to a Com-
mittee of Supply, be did not wish to be understood
as saying. that they had agreed to hi. 0bj,•41 in do-
ing so. There was a great disadvantage to putting
off things of this kind from time to time, as it
caused great inconvenience to the parties, and it at
list was liable to be considered as a thing which was
not to be brought forward at all. He should not,
however, for the present, °Neel to a delay till
day next, when there could be no pretence for a
further postponement. He then withdrew his mo.
tion, and the Committee of supply was deferred to
Wednesday. •
PEACE IN INDIA.
Mr. JOHNSTONE said, he rose for the pur-
pose of asking a question upon a sidle& which he
considered to be of extreme public importance.
He had heard that a dispatch had beta received at
the India Haase. stating that Lord Lake had writ-
ten letters to General Nicholson and Geuetal Jones,
in one of which be orders General Jones to with-
draw his troops from the position they held, as a
peace had been concluded with Scindia. Ile there-
fore wished to enquire whether that report were true ?
It appeared that the present administration bad, on
coming into office, approved of Sir George Barlow
as a fit person to administer the affaits of the Com.
pany abroad ; and certainly. if within three months
his government had succeeded in giving peace to
that country, it was highiy creditable, and a good
presoge of what was in future to be expelied tram
it.
Mr.CREEVSY replied, that an overland dispatch
had been received, communicating intelligence, not
indeed of the actual conclusion of peace, but that
such an event was very probable.

Mr. WINDHAM expressed hls thauks to the

Mr. JEFFERY replied, that he meant to fol.

Mr. JEFFERY replied. that be should charge

Lord H PETTY tensed-bat Ordyr of the Deig
for going into a tOttlinittee CA the Property FAO
Bill.
Mr. FRANCIS said. that.. 14 did pot mean- to

of the public service. He never wished to have it
said of bias, that he talked oat language us one day
ou one side of the house, and a &tercet langoupt
the next day, on the other side. He adhered to the
same epiuion. he held on the first proposal of that
measure. In the first plate, it was misnames), es it

income, and beating is a manner unjust. unequal,
and, in some instances, insupporuble. But thous•
he objected to the measure re tote, he nevertheless
should taii.k it his duty to attend to it in the
Committee, for the putpcie of giving his assist-
ance in rendering it as little obje3ionable as to
could. It was evident, that we were now
come to a time of great ditties; and necessity. l'ne
difficulty the, Noble Lord lately capes Winced in car.
vying the first tit be ever proposed, must s..eiff
him that we are now come to the heart's-Olood of
the country in point of taxation. and that it canizat
last much longer. In the present state of our re-
sources, it behoved us to attend to the main one
which was left—that of attending to econodyle
the expenditure, and a rigorous collection of the
present taxes. Wit:lout a sti ict attention to these.
we could not fairly or honestly go on with stay awe
new taxes. He believed that in the existing lwaredsee
of the Revenue, there were great hands aad abuse*,
particularly in the drawbacks, and in the stamp
duties ; we must soon be driven to that last and
only tea 'lute, and before we impaiewl new hurtheas.
we cm& to sake ease that we - aid oft safes 4111
existing taxes to too to waste. He wished the pre-
sent Ministers to bear in thew minds a very wise
saying, that of all branches of revenue, parsimony
is the best.
Lord H. PETTY admittedthe justice of votny of
these remark;, ;oat the greater the difficulties of tse
country were, the more necessity did lei find the this
tax. As to economy, he assured the Hcase, that it
was always 10 his view, and he had frequently limped
the necessity of adheriag to it.
Mr. W. SMITH sai3, be was convinced that His
Majesty's Iliuhters were fully impressed with the
necessity of a stria economy' la the obseveretioes

posed by some, that if the Tax was on Income, '
the landed gentlemen would spend a cornidiathle
part of their fortunes in farming, sooner than pat
it, but that was a folly that would soon cure is self.
He was here called to order, as deviating from
the question before the House.
Mr. F. JONES said, it was a' serious thing ro
rise this tax at once. from six and a quarter to ten
per cent ; but he hoped the Minister would o :
maintain a system of inflexibility, and he should
therefore reserve himself till he saw in *hat state.
the Bill would come out of the Committee.
In Clause I, page 80. relative to temporary ab-
sentees—
Mr. CARR asked, whether Irish Gentlemen, who
resided six months in England, were to pay for the
whole year ?
Mr. VANSITTART said, they certainly weer,
because no property in Ireland was made charge-
able.
In the Clause requiring housekeepers to return
all persons under their residence who are liable .0
be stsesced—
Mr. ROBSON wished to know how the owners
of houses were to know who .re liable? He had
been applied to that morning by three persons from
the con who had acted as Commission n, and
they beg hint to obtain therm all the information

know, whether clerks in counting-hi uses and shoo.,
who had only '5l. a year, and a family of Gen. or fir,
children each, were to pay the tax? It they way,
the Bill would, in his opinion, be or-restive ; for
men in such circumstances could not pay the tax.
