THE VIENNA CONPBESS

• - Mr. said;Ahat as the Chancellor
•
of the Exchequer had ..tinticirniced his 'intention of
bringing. under conSideratiOn-the Finances of the
Country next week, it was to be presumed' that
Minister's were. nOW:=..at 'least ,apprised Of a Settle-
ment of the ailairs'rof-Europe, and that there was
a-termination of those disputes i.vbialr had dis-
graced the assembled Negociators. He should be
glad, therefore,' of -any inforniation which might
do away the .impression of our Ministers being
accessary to Prince Repuin's Proclamation : Also
as to the affair of Genoa ; hut 'above all, why-
, ther the .-cOuntry could OW.- look • fOrward to a
settlement of iranquillity on the Continent.-- He,
wOuld.,_not:notice the -disgraceful acts of the Con-
Oess,' a‘fiti above'all the disgraceful iriOde-Of-ne,
gOciation which ;they pursued. They 'sceirled ro.
think that the.affairs of Europe were to be settled
by asign;lig so many inillionc to this Sovereign,
and so many to that, without 'regard to the feel-
ing:: or. the rights of independent 'Nations : as if
the hatred of recent tyranny were• still so deeply
impressed upon the minds of the peopley that
Princes could -play any fantastic' tricks without
endangering their thrones. He should now be
glad if the Chancellor'of the ExcheqUer could
anumunicate to the House some notion Of the
res,its of the Congress. • •
• The CnANCKLEon of the•EXCIMEIIIER said, that.
he thought hithself justified in -riot _returning
answer.; but lie bad no objection to 'inform the
lion. Gentleman once for all; that he should wait
for the arrival of the,Noble.Lord. ;The informa-•
tion which he could give td the. House must be
less perfect. and satisfactory than that which the
Noble Lord could' give',' and on that account
would be better to wait till'he arrived.

Mr. Wnfreacan-replied, that when 'the Noble
Lord was present, he would„.-6f-course, give such
information as was.necessary; yet in hip ahsence,,
there was no reason that the Right Hon. 'Eleatic:-
man should not furnish. the Hinise with_ such in-
formation as he possessed.
Mr. PoxsoNßY said, that there was• a cineStion
before the hOuse,.and,--therefore, it was perfectly
regular to introduce this conversation ; becauSe
subject of finance Was connected with thegeneral
regulation ofthecountry„ and of• the situation of
Europe. If the Right ,Hon. Gentlernan.,- there.--
fore, was• not prepared to make such' ceninnuni-
cations as were demanded, it would be more wise
in him to .postpone his plans of finance till hi felt
himsell ready to enter into proper details. , On
the,contrary, however, the Right Hon. fieutle-
man •had propo'§ed, 'that the House should_ enter
into a consideratioti of liisnieaStires without knoW-
lug any thing: )t,Aitts of.the utmost importance
that the expences of the country. should be re-
duced as speedily as-possible all people had .by
theit eicertions pit an end to tlnit ,odious and in--,
quitorial Tax, the Property rax ;and I,,hey had_
only to continue their exertions, and oblige Mini-"
sters to.reduce the -present heafy expences of 'the
nation. .

•,it was, then agreed, that'the House should.take
into consideration the 'Bank liestriction Act on
Monday '

from a variety places, -praying.that. the, Pro.
