skrn, the only question upon which the House divided, was the From. July 6, 18256, until July 6, 1826, the cwt.
fat resolution. for a repeal of the Window Tax. With respect 182 - - 2
so the substitution 'of an increasrd House Tax, he would only 1827 - 1828
segnest the Hon. Baronet and his Hon. Colleague to have 1828 -
another meeting called of the Citizens of Westminster, and
see what they should think of the proposal. He (Mr. H.)
bzlieved they would be little gratified at a measure which went
i relieve the. Hon_ Gentlemen from the duties upon their
horses in the country, and saddled an additional burden on
the inhabitants of great towns. It was his (Mr. Huskisson'S)
misfortune to differ respecting the Window TaX, and another
subject lately under discussion, from a considerable portion of
hie constituents ; but he explicitly eleclared that difference;
however painful to him, and acted according to his own convic-
tion, in a similar course he should persist for the future.
col. PA LMER.said, that notwithstanding the rebuke given
wan a formernight to a worthy- Alderman, he agreed with his
Hon. Friend in supporting all motions for relieving the bur-
..:liessiof the people; as the Ministers, on their side, invariably
:opposed them, whilst in every instance of the repeal of a tax
'being carried, they had contrived to go on just as well without
-.lt: This at least was more consistent than the conduct of an.
other worthy Alderman. who, upon the same occasion, had
praised to the-skies the Ministers and their sinking fund, whilst
ite voted against them, anti reprobated in the strongest terms
tie injustice and oppression of the Assessed Taxes. For his
own part, looking to the principles of free trade, at length
adopted by the Ministers, he had considered the measures of
the Chancellor of the xchequer to be best calculated for the
general interests of the country ; nor was it against them, but
. -the system of the Government, that his opposition was direct-
ed. The Right Honourable Gentleman had said in his former
speech, that he could not do all at once ; but looking to the
borthens of the pt ople, he had in fact done little or nothing
to relieve them, nor could, without a change of system.—
Let'the Miniateri only consent to that, and they would find
"n him as warm a friend as he was an enemy ; but being
convinced that the country was never yet in greater danger,
which the Ministers might at once remove, by adopting the
ooly: measure to relieve the pressure of taxation, ensure
tranquillity to Ireland ; and which, by firmly uniting the people
with the Government, could alone enable it to avert the
impending storm;. and, until the Ministers, whoever they
might be, could resolve upon that measure, he meant Reform'in
Parliament, he should continue to oppose them with the same
rooted hate, which the General of Carthage felt to Rome,
is swearing his son upon the altar. The Honourable Member
stated his regret at the continued indisposition of the Right
Honourable the Foreign Secretary, which, with other reasons,
had prevented his taking a part in the debates upon the Catho-
lic Question—but he meant to avail himself of the Bill yet
before the House, to declare his feelings upon the subject ;
aad should the Right Honourable Gentleman be still unable
to attend, he hoped to be aIIONVed to advert to his conduct as
a Minister, in a matter wherein he had taken so prominent a
part.
Mr. HonuovsE replied.
After which the House divided—

CUSTOMS' CONSOLIDATION ACT.
Mr. HUSKISSON moved the Order of the Day for going
into a Committee on this Bill. The House accordingly resolv-
ed-Itself into a Committee, when the Right lion. Gentleman
moved a Resolution for assimilating the duties on the produce
of the Island of Mauritius in all cases to those chargeable on
the produce of rite British West Indies.
Mr. BERNALL objected to any decision being come to on
this question till certain Papers relative to the Slave Trade
were in the hands of Members.

gent to be reported pro forma, and that it should stand over till
the papers referred to (already on the table) were printed.
