LONDON,
TUESDAY EVENING, APRIL SO, 1833.

Lord ALTHoRP last night announced the
course which the Government had resolved to
pursue in the situation to which it was reduced
by the vote of the House on Friday. It is
somewhat of a curious and unusual nature.
His Lordship is to-night to move as an amend-
ment to the motion to be proposed by Sir JOHN
KEY for the repeal of the house and window tax,
" that the deficiency in the revenue which would
be occasioned by a reduction of the tax on malt
to ten shillings the quarter, and by the repeal of
the tax on houses and windows, could only be
supplied by the substitution of a general tax on
property and income, and an extensive change
in our whole financial system, which would at
present be inexpedient." The Members who
voted for the reduction of the malt duty, who
vote for this amendment, will, in fact,
swallow their own words, and stand upon
their own confession, the most silly or the most
selfish of all the silly and selfish whom it has
been the misfortune of the people to have been
deluded into sending as their representatives to
Parliament. To vote for Lord ALTHORP'S
amendment after having voted for the reduction
of the Malt Duty, will prove either short-
sighted folly and ignorance, not having foreseen
that the imposition of a property-tax must be
the consequence of this vote, if' successful ; or
the overreaching cunning which wished to have
the credit of voting for the reduction of the
Malt Duty, throwing the discredit of the reject-
lion upon Ministers, and at the same time to
escape the consequences by being defeated.
What Member will distinguish himself to-night
by saying " write me down an ass," we will not
pretend to say ; but one was found last night
willing to say, " write me down a knave !"
The confession was ingenuous, but hardly
necessary from a man, who having, but a few
years back, stood forward as the organ of the
mercantile world, the advocate of free trade, last
year played Lickspittle to an agricultural con-
stituency, professed that he was no free-trader ;
that he loved monopoly in corn, and would vote
for a reduction of the Malt Duty. Proteus
could change his form at pleasure; but this
worthy gentleman has a faculty more marvellous
than that of Proteus,—he can actually be of two
forms at the same time, and those quite dissimilar !
What makes the matter more singular is that
this duplex character is visible in the language
of the Hon. Member, one half of a sentence
always bearing a different meaning from the
other. It is useless to deny that either physically
or metaphysically the thing is possible—that
the eye never saw, nor the mind ever conceived,
a person so endowed, for there he is, exhibited
every night for the small charge of half-a-crown. As
electors, however, usually prefer to deal with
men having only the common place qualifications
of consistency and trustworthiness ; we suppose
that the present constituents of this gentleman
were unaware, when they sent him to Parlia-
ment, how cheap he held what they considered
of paramount importance. Since, however, he
has told them, in his speech of last night, that
he only promised to vote for the reduction of
the malt tax, because he thought he should be
in a minority, but that if it came to the direct
question of whether their hundreds per annum
or his tens of thousands should bear the greater
part of the burden of taxation, he must really
decide for the former, and leave them still
saddled with the whole of the malt duty—we
trust, we say, that, under these circumstances,
they will at the next election give him to under-
stand that they are not quite such calves as he
thinks them. We know not what number of the
majority of Friday night are, as our friend Hajji
Baba would say, prepared to eat dirt this even-
ing, but, whoever or whatever they may be,
whether calling themselves Reformers or Conser-
vatives, we cannot think so meanly of our
countrymen as to imagine they will again return
them, as the best men they can find to vote
away their money. It is curious by the way to
observe that the pretence on which the House is

to be asked to stultify its proceedings is that
the vote for this reduction, or rather if it should
be carried into effect, this commutation of taxes
was come to with only 314 Members in the
House, when we are sure that the average num-
ber of Members present at the voting of taxes,
to the amount of' 500,000,0001., during the
last ten years, has not been one hundred.
To-night will put the desire of the House of
Commons to relieve the people by a commuta-
tion of taxes to test, for Lord ALTHORP has,
by his motion, thrown -the decision of the mat-
ter upon the House. He tells the House, in so
many words, that he thinks a general pro-
perty and income tax would at present be
inexpedient, because it would produce an
extensive change in our whole financial
system for which he has not had time to prepare,
but that if they will reduce the malt duty and
will take off the house and window tax, they
must have a property tax. That is the proposi-
tion Lord ALTHORP will lay before the House
to. night, and when it is considered that whe-
ther the house and window tax or malt duty
be repealed or not, the time is not far
distant when a property tax will be rendered
necessary by the wretchedness of the people,
Members who really wish that justice should
be done, will not hesitate in at once rejecting
Lord ALTrIORP'S amendment, unless indeed
his Lordship should state that it is merely in-
tended to defer and not to defeat the object Sir
WM. INGILBY, Mr. TENNYSON, Mr. HALL
DARE, and others, have avowed they have in
view.

We are sorry to observe that one of our con-
temporaries who is usually a great stickler for
principle, has of late been showing symptoms of
an inclination to veer round. Any one who
attacks an acknowledged principle, is bound to
advance something beyond vague generalities
upon the difficulty of carrying it into practice.
The Arabs, who have lived by plunder for
three thousand years, see similar difficulties in
the way of becoming honest ; yet it does never-
theless happen, that there are communities
where, to a certain extent, justice is acknow-
ledged as the true foundation on which society
must rest. Our ancestors spoiled the peasant
and the trader with the sword in their
hand ; more recently they accomplished the
same object by means of rotten boroughs,
but now the only mode of spoliation left
is an unequal distribution of the necessary
public burdens. The " difficulties" of put-
ting down brigandage were got over, the
" difficulties" of abolishing rotten boroughs
have been surmounted, and we doubt not, that,
despite of open foes and lukewarm or fickle
friends, the people will overcome the " diffi-
culties" in the way of distributing the taxes paid
for the protection of property, among each class,
according to the amount of property it may have
to be protected.

We direct attention to a letter, entitled
Emancipation of the Jews," which will be
found in another part of The Sun. The ques..
tion is there argued temperately and argumenta-
tively, though it scarcely stands in need of such
assistance, as its justice has already been suffi-
ciently made manifest.

Ministers expect a large majority to-night on
Lord ALTHORP'S motion, and, upon enquiry,
we find that many of the liberal party in the
House of Commons anticipate the same result.
The support upon which Ministers chiefly rely,
is that of Sir R. PEEL and his immediate
friends, whose number is about thirty, to which
may be added about twenty other Tories who,
although not of Sir ROBERT'S avowed party,
are anxious, like him, to keep Ministers in office
a little longer,—until the nation, in its desire
for change, shall have become indifferent to
faction. Sir R. PEEL has, we have reason to
believe, in conjunction with Mr. HOLMES, the
whipper-in of the Tories, been an active can-
vasser since Saturday for Lord ALTHouP, on
the pretence that the defeat of Ministers this
evening would bring about " anarchy and con-
fusion ;" and as the number of his supporters,
added to that of the Ministry, and of the timid
liberals who would consent to any thing
rather than leave the Government open
to the Tories or the Radicals, and hasten,
as they express it, a financial crisis, is very large,
we must, of course, prepare ourselves for a
Ministerial majority. It must not be concealed,
however, that although Ministers calculate upon
a triumph as regards the alternative—the only
honest and efficient alternative—of a property
tax, they are uneasy at the probability of some
amendment being proposed, which may induce
the House of Commons to persist in the reduc-
tio❑ of taxation, although it is not sufficiently
magnanimous to vote for a property tax, which
would relieve the trading community at the ex-
pense of the aristocracy. That some amendment
of this kind will be moved, we have no doubt ;
and, if done skilfully, Ministers may still find
themselves in a state of embarrassment, notwith-
standing the aid of Sir ROBERT PEEL and his
satellites, who would assist any Ministry against
the expression of public opinion throughout
the country.

Si. JoHN KEY, on the other hand, has not
been idle as to his motion. He has received
promises of support from many of the Country
Gentlemen, who, having voted for the reduction
of the Malt Tax, cannot vote with Ministers in
an attempt to rescind that vote, and prevent the
reduction of the Assessed Taxes; and he will
be warmly supported by most of the Represen-
tatives of the new constituencies, who came into
Parliament pledging themselves to vote for the
repeal of the House and Window Taxes. The
general assertion this morning in the Ministerial
circles is, that Lord ALTHORP will have a ma-
jority of nearer 100 than 50. His opponents,
although they seem prepared for defeat, say that
it will be by a very small majority.

The Prussian State Gazette speaks of intelli-
gence having reached Vienna to the effect that
the van of the Russian army, consisting of 5,000
men had arrived at the gates of the Turkish

capital, which, -nevertheless was perfectly:tran-
quil. If this be true, the great object of Rus,•il
is for the present answered. She can scarcely hope
just yet to retain possession of Constantinople,
but she has gone far to pave the way for a fu-
ture permanent occupation of it. When th
SULTAN'S dispute with IBRAHIM is settled
(which it must be shortly, if the peace of
Europe is to be preserved), then will come
Russia's turn. Of course she will demand
reimbursement for the heavy expenses she has
been put to by her interference on be-
half of the SULTAN, and this being de-
clined—as we supposed it must be, on the
tyrant's plea of necessity : that is to say,
because the PORTE has actually not the means
of
ltu sssai at s iiifyingte demands of
ldheinniryilerself, NHzaricteropLuatts—
ing
forth another specious manifesto, in order to
blind the eyes of Europe), by apportioning to
herself another flat slice of Turkey.

Beaus, APRIL 2I.—M. Von Rehfues, Commissioner
of Government in the University of Bann, has been sum-
moned hither to take part in the discussions on the mea-
sures that are to be adopted respecting the Universities or
the students. This is the same M. Rehfues (by birth a native
of Wurtemburg) who is known as the author of several
novels and books of travels, aed by his residence in
Spain and Naples. It appears but too certain that the
disturbances at Frankfort will have import,mt cons.quencrs
in this respect, and that are regulations, relative to
the visiting of foreign universities, will be revived and
strictly enforced. The decisions on thin point are ex-
pected with great anxiety.
Unhappily, the results 1-)f this last tumult appear more and
more deplorable, and scarcely leave any douht of extensive
ramifications. We learn from very good authority that
letters, from very well known persons in Paris, by which
different individuals are implicated, have been intercepted,
so that those scenes at Francfort, however stupidly exe-
cuted, attain a degree of importance which will rend, r
the use of eery rigorous measures necessary.
ODESSA, APRIL 3.—The squadron of Admiral Kumani
as well as the hired transports, has began taking troops on
board, and, as is now positively affirmed, will sail direct to
Constantinople. Another large division of the Russian
army which is hastening to the aid of the Porte is said to he
already embarked at Gallacz, in Moldavia, to be conveyed
with all possible speed by the Black Sea to the Turkish
capital.
(From the Prussian State Gazette, April 25.)

VIENNA, Aran, 19.—" A highly respectable commer-
cial house in this city has received to-day, by express
from Constantinople, the intelligence that the van of the
Russian army, consisting of 5,000 men, had arrived at the
gates of the Turkish capital, which is stated to be perfectly
tranquil. It was expected that the contest with Whemet
Ali would be shortly terminated, as all the European
powers appear to act together in concert for the appoint.
ment of this object; wherefore it was hoped that the ne-
gociations of M. Varennes with Ibrahim Pacha would
end favourably. The news of the arrival of the Russians
before Constantinople was not known here to-day till afrer
church time."—.Allgemeine Zeitung, April 24.
VIENNA, APRIL 18.—The grippe, or influenza, coming
from the E ist, is approaching us ; it has prevailed for
some weeks past at Teschen, Troppau, Olbmutz, &c., and
it is even said that there have been some cases here since
yesterday morning. We do not fear it, however, as it is
attended with little inconvenience and no danger.

M. BOISMILON, the Secretaire de Com-
mandement of the Duke of ORLEANS,
and M. GERARD, one of his Aides-de.
Camp, arrived in town yesterday, for the
purpose of preparing for the reception of
the Duke, who is to arrive on Saturday or Sun-
day next. His Royal Highness will be accom-
panied by two of his aides-de-camp, General
BAUDRAND and General MARBoT. It is
expected that he will remain in England about
three weeks.

Mr. SLANEY on Thursday night obtained leave to
bring in a Bill to enable manufacturers and mechanics
to insure themselves against temporary want of em-
ployment, by giving them facilities for creating a
safe joint fund, vested in the public funds, on other
approved and available security. Mr. SLANEY'S
exertions in behalf of the labouring classes, have
been long and arduous, and this is but one of many
measures he has brought forward for their relief. It
is strange that an Act of Parliament should be
wanted to enable them to do what can be hurtful to
no one, and which, by the common law, therefore,
they would have a right to do; but the higher
classes have been so careful of the lower, that, for
fear they should burn their fingers, they have passed
Acts to prevent them warming themselves.
ADAM SMITH has justly observed, that when
governors take to themselves and their acts the credit
of all the good that befalls a country, it is not un
natural that the people should also attribute to them
all their misfortunes. Thus it is at present; the
hand-loom weavers are, we see, petitioning their
protectors to take measures to prevent the masters
lowering their wages. The thing is impossible ;
but these poor people have been induced to believe,
by the constant interference of the Legislature in
matters where its interference was equally against
principle, that it is in the power of Parliament to
raise their wages. To remedy this evil, to prevent
the wretched creatures who have trusted to this
broken reed from wreaking their disappointment
upon its authors, all restrictive laws upon trade and
labour, whether called " protective," or by any
other name, must be abolished, and the whole po
pulation be taught the great lesson of depending
upon their own prudence, their own foresight, and
'heir own exertions. Mr. SLANEY'S Bill is in-
tended to remove obstructions from the way of
those who already see that they best consult their
own welfare, by being independent of every thing
but their own industry. We trust that it will
pass without any of the silly restrictions which
some meddlers of the House of Commons seem
desirous of introducing into it. These good
gentlemen need be under no anxiety of the artizans
injuring themselves, for we are almost inclined to
go the length of Mr. HUMS, in saying that 500
mechanics assembled together would have a better
knowledge of their own interests than 500 gentle-
men.

We see that Mr. THOMAS ATTWOOD, whose
sincerity in the cause of the working classes no
man can doubt, is labouring under a mistake with
respect to this Bill, as well as some other matters
in which their interests are deeply concerned. He
spoke of the Bill compelling the working classes to
invest their money in the funds; but the Bill is not
compulsory in any respect. It will merely enable a
man to do, if he likes, what he now cannot de.
All who prefer depositing their money with Mr.
ATTWOOD or any other country banker will be still
at liberty to do so.
