expense, white a great portion or the people were in a
state of 'nervation. It complained also of an enormous

The Petition was ordered to lie upon the table.
The Cut xcest.ort of the Eacsittatyn moved, that the
Excise 'lidera Bill be trail a third time.
Mr. WasTEasr oppreu 4 the Bill. in tea. convinced that
the people email not bear the view duties. They fell
chiefly en rie poor, but they wowid Milinetely other the
rich. Two-thirds of the amount,namely 2,000,0001. were
on articles that tended to depress agriculture as well as to
oppress the poor;—l,Vm,Oant. nn Malt, and 5410,1009/. on
British Spirits. For the coosiimption of the la,t few
}ears 'hewed that the quaittit lea idled were materiality lea-
fletted by the operation of the ditties; and such fact proved
that the duties, and new ditties especially, affected the
farmer as well as the poor man. By the impositioo of these
taxes they were making a dangerous experiment on the
temper and patience ct the people. (Hear, Sear, Saar !)
Eveu if these new taxes enabled the Government to es•
tallish an actual Sinking Fluid—lse epeateil, an "actual"
Sinking Fund--s4lOl advantage wombd be gained at inuch
too dear a price. In the present state of the Country, it
behoved them to du all they could to enable the people to
hitched their resources. (11.ae, Sear!) He deemed it
his duty to lake the Petrie of the House nn the Bill, and
snowed, that it lie read a third time this day six months.
Mr. Out) coincided in these sentiments, and declared
that the imposition of new duties could only tend to ali-
enate the affections of the people. The truth was, the
rulintry could nut bear Hew taxes. The Noble Lord op-
posite might have beaten Bonaparte, and received with
het byCongress s and lord Sidmontir might be acting
with vigour ; but these were not ways to conciliate the
Mr. F sans ND complained of the new malt duty is par.
twicar, and especially coutlettated intention to lay the
linty on the stocks ill hand. 11 wev.l.l be hard and cm int
not the militate's; sail lie lemented that the blocks in band
were not to he exempted from the new ditty.
Lord EnittNIITOSI emsressrd the 01 • that many
great savings timid he-effected in the collection of the Re•
venue; and he tousled that the House would not separate
withont earn etaingsorne strong Resolution on the subject.
—( Hear, Arm.)
Sir R. Wensuestengly condemned the imposition of new
rlntiee, as the people could not bear them. Iloport steed,
that Ministers were in possession of certain wild plans,
traced out by the people theniaelves, but by insidiotte
leaders; litithow would such leaders have any effect, it
the. people were not exposed to the severest distresses ?
It *as.a dreadful responsibility which the Ministers took
Lifson theinselires, le promote new taxes for the purpose of
advancing a speculative finaucial advantage, (for the
talked or Sinking Fund was nothing mote than a specula-
tive finitudel advantage)—a proceeding that must occasion
ealaiiiity, std perhaps the effusion of blood, and all to
keep off that ;Reform athiehdhe people demanded, mil he
which they had a right.—(Heer. bear )
Mr. C LoNG and Lord EIHIINGTos made some animal

(Mr. Calvert) did out think that that board should powers so
