NEW MALT Tax.—Mr. Coat (of Norfolk) held in his hand
a Petition against the New Malt Duty. He was aware that he
could not present such Petition—he only desired to read it, as
it was couched in mealy kviguatee. lie could nut but give
credit to the Chancellor ofthe Exchequer for the manner in
which he had brought forward the new Taxes; he took care that,
the pcoplcuf England should not have the opportunity of com-
plaining of them, otherwise the table would have been laden with
Pennons front every alms of the suffering people of England.
Might he be allowed to read the Petition ?
•The GHANCEIbLOR of the EICCHE6II7ER rose, and moved
that the House, at its rising, do adjourn to Monday. 'Ordered.

but the Speaker said the Hon. Member must be aware that it
would be oat of order to read the Petition.
NEW -lacxxcEs.—On the motion that the House resolve

the .4new taxes. The Ministers were supported by overwhel.

wo .1d redo ali additional taxation, till he saw that House so
constituted, and so acting, as proved that they sympathised with
the people.

dons in the /louse of Commons; and the very reverse of what
had been stated was the truth.
Mr. Cox*: reminded the House how extensive were the die.
memos of the country. lie would not agree to impose any new
taxes till expenditure was seduced to its lowest possible cute.--
lie speed with a Noble Marquis (Tavistock) as to the.'neceseity
of reform; it was a corrupt House, and what good could tie
expected from them. (Cries of Order.) He trusted that triennial
Parliaments were not very far distant: septennial Parliaments
were most injurious • till they had such Parliaments there would
be no security fee the people. This was proved by their conduct
when they were about to meet their constituents; then they knew
how to behave themselves. Last Session they wookl not have
ventured A. propose these new taxes.
Lord J. liosere.i. had not muck confidence in the Ministers
as to the expenditure of the public revenue; hat that was not
the question which was now under consideration. The fresh
suFpliei now proposed were of most injurious tendency. They
Mil on the poor almost exclusively and certainly mo severely;
and as they even attacked beer and tea, lie did not bee what was
to be left to them hut bread and water.

The House divided on die MaNuis of Tavistock's amendment,
that the Committee be poetroned till this day six months. The

On Friday we received the Paris Papers of Tues-
day last, from which we give the following ex-
tracts:—

ing to the arrival of Savary (the Dule of Ruvigii) iu

MADRID, ;iO,ll 3.-I'he greatest activity prevails at
Cadiz in equipping the fleet. Already 124 transport
vessels have collected in that port, and they are laying
its previsions. On St. Ferdinand's day, the edict on the
Prohibition of books was published in all the churches
of Madrid. The works prohibited by this decree are to
the number of 40, and are divided into three classes.
In the first class are included those prohibited even so be
real by persons to whom the Holy Office grants private
license or permission to read prohibited books. They
amount to ten, among which are an " Essay on In-
s:ruction in general, and on the Study of Islithesuatics
in particular ;" " The History of the Inquisitions of
tipaitt and Portugal," by Joieph Leveller, be. The
second class • comprehends those prohibited in tam to
all who lisve not a license, among which are the "An-
nals of the Inquisition," by I.lorente, Scc. In the third
elm. are three works whose revision is ordered.

Tll4 NATIONAL IU4GJOTAR,

We insert from the German Papers an interesting
artlcle'on the progressive decay and actual ruin of
the establishments of the Spanish monarchy :

:MADRID, JUNE Since the time when Ferdi-
nand anti Isabella began n• create in Spain a military
marine, it never has been in so deplorable a slate as it is,
at this moment. lit order to form an exact idea of the
state of things, we must go back to the year 1796, when
King Charts' IV. had the inconceivable weakness to
conclude an offensive and defensive alliance with the
French Republic ; it is from that instant that all the
misfortunes of our navy are to he dated. It was then
composed of 85 ships of the line, 01 which 20 carried
float 80 to 130 guns. Sixty were actually in commis-
sion, and most of the rest capable of being repaired.
The infantry of the marine consisted of Is battalions,
each of 1,000 men ; and the artillery of 20 brigades,
making 3,000 men effective. The 3 military posts of
Cadiz, Carthagena, and Ferrol, had immense docks, ar-
senals, and maga:it:es, amply furnished with every thing
necessary for the service of the navy. Those of La Car.
rata, in particular, were admired by all strangers who
visited them. Our alliance with France, and the unjust
invasion, which was one of the fatal cousequenees of it,
have destroyed every thing. Our luny has been annihi-
lated, our aricuals are empty, and' there is not timber
sufficient iii the arsenal to build four ships of war.
The infantry and artillery of the marine have been
employed in the defence of the country, and no-
thing remains of those tine corps but the miserable
wrecks. The department of Ferrol received front Na-
varre excellent oak timber for die oat y ;• those of Cadiz
and Carthage•na found the same resource in the four
kingdoms of Andalusia : now those fine forests may he
said to be annihilated. The island of Cuba furnished
a great quantity of cedar, which was employed at La
Carraca. This resource has now failed, because we
have not the means of conveyance: and the privateers
who infest the seas render it still more difficult. On the
other hand, the Dutch brought us from the North,
masts, hemp, and other articles. These arriials have
become very rare. Thus, by a series of unhappy cir-
cumstances, the Spanish navy is in a state of ruin, which
.it will be very difficult to repair. Hence the Govern-
ment has been obliged to apply to Russia for some ves-
sels for the great expedition. Unhappily this assistance
has nut answered the expectations that were formed of
it : these vessels, in spite of all the rep.lirs they have
undergone, are very ill built. Such are the causes
which have delayed fur above a year the departure of
thf grand expedition for South America. Posterity will
hardly believe, that the armament of a squadron has cod
more trouble, labour, and embarrassment, than would
base sufficed, 20 years ago, to send fifty ships of the line
and thirty frigates from our ports."

Thursday being appointed for the celebration of
the Birth day of His Royal Highness the Prince
Regent, a Drawing Room was held at Buckingham-
house by Her Royal Highness the Princess Augusta,
assisted by her Royal Brothers and Sisters.—This
being the first Drawing Room since the death of
her late Majesty, it was more numerously attended
than usual.

Among the company at the Drawing room were,
the Duke of Bcdfinll, the Duke of Grafton, the Mar-
quis of Lansdowne, Earl Grosvenor, and Sir Francis
ISurdett.

The utility of Drawing-roems, in giving encou-
ragement to our manufactures, will induce the
Prince Regent, we hope, to hold them as often as
convenient, particularly at a period when our trade
is so much depressed, and many industrious indivi-
duals are in want of employment.
On Friday Baron Fogel, the Ambassador from the
Court of the Netherlands, had an audience of the
Princeßegent at Carlton-house.
Count Woronzoff was introduced to the Regent,
by the Russian Ambassador, upon his arrival in
England.
The Hon. Charles Begot was also introduced to
His Royal Highness, upon his arrival in Englund.

It appears that the Ex-Empress Maria Louisa
approached the gates of Rome with the Emperor of
Austria, but did not enter the city. She was pre-
vented, it is stated, by some " scandalous occur.

ske was there with the Emperor. WYtat the scan-
&lolls occurrences were is not explained.
The Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty have
given directions fur an 84 gun ship, to be called the
Goliath, and also a 28 gun ship, to be named the
Success, to be built at the new Dock-yard, Pem-
broke.

A gentleman has, we understand, arrived in Lon-
don, with a commission from Lord Cochrane, to

raise an aid of four hundred seamen. In this we arc
persuaded he will find no difficulty. The Foreign
Enlistment Bill, even if passed, is not to take effect
till the Ist of August; so that there will be time
enough to complete the levy without coming under
its operation.

We understand that Mr. Charles Warren is to be
appointed to the Chief•Justiceship of Cheater, which
will be resigned by Mr. Sergeant Copley, upon suc-
ceeding to th.: Office of Solicitor-General. The
Lord Advocate of Scotland is to be made a Lord of
Session and Justiciary, in the room of the late
Lord Reston, and to be succeeded by Sir William
Rae, Baronet. Our readers may depend on the
accuracy of these appointments.
There are four Candidates for Barnstaple,
the present Lord Mayor of London, Mr. Nolan, the
barrister, Bourchier Palk Wrey, and J. 1). Bassett,
Esqrs.
Accommodations are preparing on board a vessel
at Gravesend for conveying to St. I Iclena a surgeon
anti a priest, to attend on Bonaparte. Two or three
domestics, among whom is a cook, proceed thither
also, to be added to the establishment at Longwood.
We understand that a matrimonial union is on
the tapis between Mr. Henry Ball and Lady Jane
Paget. It is known that the gentleman is possessed
of a large fortune. His annual income is splendid;
in addition to which, he became entitled to the pos-
session of between two and three hundred thousand
pounds in the funds, on Wednesday se'nnight, the
day he was of age.

An elopement, we understand, took place from
the west end of the town on Tuesday. The lady is
a married woman, young, beautiful, and accomplish-
ed : the gallant au officer in the artily. It is sup-
posed they have directed their steps to Paris.
On Wednesday night, soon after ten o'clock, a
chariot and four arrived at Mr. Belcher's, the Angel
Inn, in Doncaster, with a lady and gentleman, on
an expedition to Gretna-green. Relays of horses
had been previously engaged, and drove at the rate
of 12 miles an hour.

LI the Consistory Court on Saturday last, sen-
tence of divorce was pronounced in the cause of
Temple v. Temple, by the learned Judge, Sir W.
Scott. Our readers will remember that there was
an action at common law, some time since, for cri-
minal conversation, Temple v. Ponlett, in which the
plaintiff, Edward Dalby Temple, Esq. obtained a
verdict by default against the defendant, John
lett, Esq. of Addington-house, Bucks, to the amount
of 50001.

Norbury Park, Surrey.—This beautiful estate,
which comprises .5i7 acres, was knocked down by
Mr. Robins, on Wednewlay, at 19,600 guineas.
F. Robinson, esq. is the purchaser. Belmont, late

It is proposed to erect a monument in Dublin to

The monument of Shakspeare in Westminster Abbey
was raised by the produce of a representation of
Julius Cesar, at Old Drury.
Dreadful ljfeas Gaming.—A Captain in the Army,
whose gallantry at Waterloo gained the admiration of
his brother Officers, having lost his all at a gambliug-
house on Thursday night, was found on Friday morning
hanging on one of the trees in St. hilleS.S Park. lie
was quite dead, and has left a most amiable wife and
a large yotmg family to lament the fatal etlects of hits
fully and imprudence. The deceased was at the Draw-
ing-room on Thursday.—An inquest was held on the
body on Friday, when the evidence adduced, clearly
established the melancholy fact, that the deceased was
ift the habit of visiting gambling houses, and had stink
hum a state of great dejection on acct tof his losses;
and it seemed probable that it was itunnutiately after his
departure from one of those ruinous receptacles of rascals
ead their dupes. that he committed suicide. We select
the following passage front the evidence, its the hope of
its checking the propensity to gambling in minds where
it has ..tot yet risen m a habit:—The son of the gate-
keeper at St. James's saw several persons round the body
at four o'clock in the morning; one of them, a noted
said. " Look at his face : why, you have forgot
1. a night? don't you recollect him now ?" IVitness had
t.o doubt they were all gamblers. Verdict—lnsanity.
Chiltern ilundreds.—The acceptance of the office
of Stewardship of this place vacates a seat in Par-
nament; but the notion that it is attended with
profit is quite erroneous. Chiltern is a ridge of
Aalky hills, which crosses the county of Bucks, a
little south of the centre, reaching from Tring, iu
llertfordshire, to Henley, in the county of Oxford.
This district belongs to the C‘own, awl for time
immemorial has given rise to the nominal office of
Steward of the Chiltern Hundreds. Of this office,
as well us of the manor of East Hundred, in Barks,
it is remarkable, that although frequently conferred
upon Members of Parliament, it is not productive
either of honour or em:dument ; being granted at
the request of any Member of that House, merely
to enable him to vacate his seat by the acceptance of
a nominal office under the Crown ; and on this ac-
count it has frequently been granted to three or !bur
different Members in a week.

which he had paid for in notes on the British Tres-
cury. This sum he immediately sent on hoard the
Svbille frigate, which was dispatched for this coun-
try. The accounts add, that the whole kingdom of
Mexico continued to enjoy tranquillity, and that the
communication between the capital and the coast
was uninterrupted.

According to a New York paper of the 16th of May,

rived at Charleston on the Ist, in pursuit of three Eng-
lish seamen, who had recently been apprehended
amongst the crew of the pirate Quosia, and since con-
fined in the prison of Charleston. Application would

thia sum, for his subsistence, and Ito ought certainly to

The Lord Chancellor ohs d, that there could be no
