FINANCE.

' When Straners were admitted, we found Sir
JAMES PULTENE y 'on his •legs ; be was concluding
his observations on the 'Resolutions he had to pro-
pose, and stated that be wished it to be distinctly
understood, that be did not take upon him to pro-
pose to the House a plan of Finance, but to suggest
a method of following up the ideas of the •Noble
LOrd'(Petty)' in a more economical way than that
proposed. He 'concluded by stating • a comparison
olthe two different states of Finance at the-end of
twenty years as produced by the Noble Lord's Plan
and the one submitted-by himself. That at the end
of 20 .years. the permanent debt, according to the Ne-
,ble-Lord's- Plan, would amount to 318,2 11,4951.
whereas the permanoit debt, at the.end of the same
period-, according to that he proposed, would
amount only to 2.85,595,7051. leaving a difference
of 32,1:23;701.. Again, according- to the Noble
Lord's Plan, the perinanent• Sinking Fund, at the
' end of that period,: would :amount to 12,779,0001.
whereas, -according to his Plan, it would at the end
of thesame period amount to 1.4,359,9001. ; the. to-
tal,Permanent Taxes would, hi the one case amount
to 2,051,0001, in the other to 1,985,2281. and tho
balance might he estimated at about 65,7091.
tpon the first Resolution being read,
- Lord H. PETTY rose and said, that he had no
'intention of then entering, into. the merits of the
Hon. Baronet's Plan ;. and h® pr.pociad it t. tho
Hon. Baronet, whether it would not be bet!er to
postpone any further dismission upon it Until
the Bill-founded upon his (Lord Henry Petty's)- Plan
should be subaiitted to the House. Tii. Resolutions
of the Hon. Baronet might in the interval be printed,
and the Members have time to
,revise and consider
them.' It was then agreed, that the further dis-
cussion should be postponed _until this day (Tues-
day) se'nnight. - • ,
Mr. JODDRELL'and Sir Jouti Mellor: were dis-

WEDNESDAY, MARCII 4, 1807.

IV:: have this day made some fUrther Extra6"ts
from the Journals brought by the Goitenburgh. Mails,
bln they do not throw any furtherlight upon the
Battle which_ is. supposed to have taken place -at
Altensteiri on the 4th of February. The accounts
given of that Battle in the Berlin Telegraplz.,-and that
given by the French Commandpnt at Posen, differ
most materially with reit:left to the number of priion-
ers taken. The former states that there were 10,00
taken, and the latter mentions only 6000 It is 'to
be observed, 'however,' that the OffiCTal ac ouniis='
sued at Posen, neither' mentions the time nor 'the
place where the Battle was fought,, and possibly
'may not refer -to the same action. It is well..
known that one of BONAPARTE'S:great objeEts is to
get possession of Kcinigsburgh, and the Russians are
equally anxious to' defend 'it; which accounts for
the position that the latter are
.said to have
occupied in the Battle :of the 4th of February. •
The attack was evidently made by BONAPARTE, and
it is possible that be might have gained some Adva-
ntage, but certainly if the a&ion were general the
success of the French could pot have been very deci-
sive, when their own accounts Only reprevsent them.
to have taken 6000 Prisoners, and 20 pieces of Can, •
non. The whole -of the information, however,
which has reached us is so -general and so vague,
that it would be idle to attempt to reason upon the
subjeCt.
The Negotiations between Austria and France
still continue,' but the former does not in any degree
relak in her military preparations.
