[MORNING POST.]

We have received Letters and Papers from
Demerara to the 12th of April, the former of
which contain the Proclamation of Sir B. D'Ur-
ban, fixing the rate of the taxation of that Colony
for 1825. The Poll Tax on each slave, whether
infants or adults, is fixed at four guilders, except
on persons either proprietors, renters, or occu-
piers of any plantation cultivating Sugar, Rum,
Molasses, Coffee; or Cotton, and all others who
pay the Income Tax derived from the labour of
those Slaves. The Income Tax of 1824 is con-
tinned, and the duty on Wine is fixed at 66 guil-
ders per pipe of one hundred and ten gallons if
in wood, or two guilders per dozen if in bottle,
with the exception of,Port Wine, which remains
at one guilder per dozen. The duty on Spirits
is fixed at one guilder per gallon, and a draw-
back of fifty guilders is allowed per pipe on all
wine exported-from the Colony, which has first
paid the import duty. All transient traders not
residing in the Colony, arriving after the 17th
March last, with goods or merchandize of any
description, were subject to a Colonial tax of
five per cent. ad valorem on the same, but this
duty was not to extend to the cargoes from the
United States, which were already liable to very
heavy duties, nor to vessels arriving from the Co-
lonies of British North America which are
exempt from the tax. Various other taxes on local
productions, carriages and horses,&c., are declared
in the same proclamation. A second proclamation,
of March 15, states, that the Lieutenant-Gover-
nor had determined to levy the capitation tax for
1823, at the rate of three guilders ten stivers, re-
spectively, for each working male or female slave
above twelve years of age, and one guilder for all
children, from three to twelve years. House
slaves are taxed at a higher rate; all persons
possessing three or mare, being assessed at six
guilders each ; those possessing four, ten guil-
ders ; five, fifteen guilders; six, twenty guilders;
seven, twenty-five guilders: eight, thirty guil-
ders ; and nine and upwards, forty guilders.—
From this increased rate of head money, all
Planters residing on their estates are exempted.
The Lieutenant-Governor, to the number of 20
slaves, and all persons in the public employ, to
the number of four slaves, are likewise ex-
empted.

[MORNING CHRONICLE.]
The motion of Sir Francis Burdett for the pro-,
duction of the evidence taken under the Chan-
cery Commission was flatly refused. It is to be
given when Parliament meets again; though there
seems no good reason why it should not be put
into circulation without delay. The general feel.
ing among the Lawyers of the House is, that the
Lord Chancellor himself has added much to the
evils of the system, by his tardines in judging.
We cannot, however, enter into this debate at
present.
Mr. Littleton has entitled himself to the thanks
of the country, for having fairly set about
remedying the crying evil of Committees on
Private Bills. Ile moved last night for a Select
Committee, to consider the constitution of these
Committees ; and it was his intention, he said, to
submit to the attention of the House a measure,
which he thought would place the private busi-
ness on a footing favourable to the character of
the House itself, and advantageous to the inte-
rests of the country. We can conceive no objec-
tion to any measure calculated to meet this evil,
for we are sure the Power which Members now
possess, must often subject them to very unplea-
sant alternatives. The country, from one end to
the other, is loud against the abuses in the Com-
mittees, and the system could not possibly be
con tinued.—(Thid.)

tMORNIND .HERAI.D.3
Some of the Newspapers give reasons for the
non-fulfilment of Mons. de Villele's expectations
respecting the conversation of the French 5 per
cents into 44 and 3 per cents. We have observed
several letters from Paris attributing the failure
to a variety of causes. That, however, which
appears to us to be the cause, is the great fall in
bur own funds, and the yet further fall expected
in them, or, at all events, there being no opinion
entertained that they will rise. Our funds have
been down lately to 89. Now is- there an English
holder of. French Rentes that would agree to con-
vert his Rentes into 3 per cent, stock at the rate
0f75, when he could go into his• own funds at
89; or when he could go into:the English 31 per
.cents..at the price of 97 or 98 ? -This .is one rea-
son, and probably a principal one, why the French
Ministry have not been able to carry through
their scheme—for 'we should -think 'that- a very
large part of the French Rentes are held by En-
glish people. As to the French holdersiit is said that
`in general it is not their interest to-agree to the Mi-
nister's acheine,beoltu.se,interest is higheilhan 5 per
-cent. in France. • It is but a-short time since that
rthe French live:per cents. were under 50, and
then every body was frightened lest the should
-fall still lower.• But money, or medium, :what-
•ever'it may be called, .has -altered lately- in a
most- extraordinary degree; and-it would appear
•that our funds fall in- proportion to the scarcity
.of that which goes under the name of. :ma_
nil,. All things appetrr to have their limits:—
Gold may become too dear in comnarisen with
other things, and then-it-falls. We remember
when guineas were thirty shillings, and-then-most
people kept them, and would :not sill• them ;
but the tide turned, and !Tian?' who would ,not
sell their guineas-for 30s. tank them tO-theqold-
smith's, and sold them as light weight, and did
not get 2,15. But money does not appear to be

scarce in England and France alone ; the scar-
city has even reached the United States, as our
readers would perceive by an article from Bos-
ton, which we inserted yesterday. The Ex-
changes also between the United States and
England are falling.

rTHE PUBLIC LEDGER.]
We learn from the New York Papers, which
have readied us to the Bth ult. that, according to
the last advices from Peru, the whole of that
country, including the Upper Province, had de-
clared for the independent side. These advices
are dated Lima, Jan. 29, and refer to a dispatch
from Gen. Sucre, the hero of Ayacucho, in which
the latter,
,announces the unqualified submis-
sion of. General Olaneta. The single fort of
Callao still displayed the royalist flag; but,
that it has been torn down long before this, is
extremely probable. It is downright obstinacy
in General Lodil to attempt to defend the place;
and he should therefore be only considered and
treated as a military desperado. His single arm
and head, or the efforts of any other individual,
cannot restore the fortunes of Spain in that part
of the world ; and as he is guilty of a useless
effusion of blood,-no doubt he will be rendered
responsible for it. Were the cause he supports
as good as it is notoriously .bad, his conduct
would be equally indefensible. Thank Heaven !
that cause is now as desperate as it. is bad ; and
the reptiles of a foreign Court will never again
fatten at the expence of millions of Americans.
Whatever the latter sow, they will hence-
forth reap ; and they may enjoy in perfect se-
curity the fruits of their industry.
