been so industriously pressed upon the minds of
the People lately, from circumstances too well
calculated to have that effete, this Country should
be the only one in Europe that has, in this great
struggle, the memory of which will be dear to the
World, preserved the full benefit of a Constitu-
tion, which is adapted to support the public Li-
berty and private happiness of a Pcnple, whose
good Sense, Loyalty and Fidelity have been
proof against every Sttack ; a People who have
shewn their affedion for- a Sovereign, who has

wisdom of such a Parliament."
He then moved his first Resolution.
Mr. JOLLIFFE said, there were several

LONDON, FEBRUARY 19, 18ot.

TH F. interesting subje& of the Budget, which
our Readers will find detailed at length in our
Parliamentary Proceedings, prevents us from offer-
ing any observations this day, upon the Treaty of
Peace between France and the EMI EROR of G E R.
MANY, which we gave in our Paper of yesterday.
We shall take an early opportunity of consider-
ing this subjea.
We cannot omit at present, particularly di-
/thing the attention of our Readers to Mr.
PITT'S Speech in the House of Commons last
night, in which the situation of the Country is
described in the most eloquent, but at the sarn4
time, the most pleasing and satisfaftory manner.
It is consoling, nay, it is cheering, to know from*
the highest and most indisputable authority, that
the Commerce of the Country is more flourish-
ing' than it ever was, and that notwithstanding
the heavy drawbacks of unfavourable seasons,
which materially increase the pressure upon all
ranks of People, the Country is in a capacity to
support the necessary ,burdens for the continuance
of the struggle in which we are engaged for our
National Existence, with the pleasing and certain
prospeft of conquering our difficulties, and, of se-
curing, at no very distant period, we trust, the
blessings of plenty and ease.
Amidst the present difficulties, an increase of
Taxes becomes indispensable ; but we are happy to
perceive there are none. which were last night
proposed, that will at all bear on the lower or.
ders of t!►e Community. These are composed of
addition Duties on the following Articles

An increase of zo per cent. on all Teas above

2s. 6d. per pound.
An increase on Paper, the duty upon which is
to be doubled, except on paper hangings, glazed
papers, and hangings for exportation.
An additional duty on Printed Cottons.
An additional duty of is. Iod..per cwt. upon
Sugar.

An additional Duty of one-third on the present
Duties on Deals, Staves, &c.
A Duty of 6d. a pound on Pepper exported,
and of 3a. on the home consumption.
A small increase on the Export of Lead.
An increase of the Duties upon llorses-43.
upon liorses wed for Agriculture ; ios. upon
Horses kept for Pleasure, where only one is kept;
and ao:, where more than one is kept.
Au increase of the Scatty Duties on Bills,
Notes, Sea Policies, and Deeds of Conveyance.
Some regulations with resped to distance in
the Conveyance of Letters, and some arrange-
ments relative to the Carriage ?f Letters by Cross
Roads, &c.
