LONDON, APRIL 6, 1802.

WE yesterday stated to our Readers the Biddings
for the Loan of 25,000,0001. and had the satisfac-
tion of observing, that it was the most beneficial
for the Country we ever remembered, the Interest
to be paid being under Four per Cent. Highly be_
n,eficial as it is, however, for the Public, we have
np doubt of its being so likewise for the Contrac-
tors, as at one time yesterday it bore a premium of
more than Four per Cent.

Last night the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
brought forward his Budget, and a more satisfadlory
one we never heard. The substitutes for the In.
come Tax are such as, after the operation of that
Tax has ceased, will be felt only in a slight com-
parative degree.

The New Taxes come under three General Heads,

VIZ.

A Duty upon Malt, Hops, and Beer, z,000,c001.
Upon Exports and Imports, 1,000,0001.; and
Upon certain classes of the Assessed Taxes, an
augmentation of One-third.

These Taxes, taken at a moderate calculation,
will produce about 800,0001. per annum more than
will pay the Interest of the Stock now created, and
of the 56,000,0001. for which the Income Tax stood
pledged, and which will, should such an excess ac-
crue, be applicable by Parliament to the relief of
other Taxes, or in whatever way to its wisdom
may seem best for the public good.

We cannot refrain from again congratulating the
Country at large, upon the high stare of the Public
Credit, and of the general Wealth and Resources
of the Empire, so clearly evinced in the Loan whicla
was yesterday contrafted for.

We last night received Paris journals to the 2d
instant inclusive. They contain little that is im-
portant. JosFFil Bo NAP AIi:TE had arrived at Paris
from Amiens, which place he left on thc' morning of
the 28th

The Tiers Consol. were on the Ist inst. at 55.
The Governor of Cadiz died on the third of
March, poisoned. by eating meat which had been
allowed to stand in a. copper vessel : ail the cormma
pany were.affeeted in a violent degree.
There was a report at Poersburgh. that Their.
Majesties proposed making a tour to Switzerland.
Prince FREDERICK Of HESSE DARMSTADT, died
on the I zth ult. at Darmstadt.

The Hereditary Prince of SAKE WE IMAR was
expeded at Paris.
More troops are embarking at Brest for St. Do-
Iningo. A battalion of the 77th and nine compa-
nies of ar•illery have been put on board, and we
should, from their names, suppose the transports to
be chiefly Englishl there being amongst them the
Sally, the Constant Trader, &c.

THEIR MAJESTIES and the PRINCESSES came
:o Town this day from Windsor to Buckingham_
jouse.

Lord WHITWORTH, Ive believe, will not go to
Paris until the Ratification of the Treaty has taken
place.

We hear that Lord SIDNEY is shortly to lead to
the hymeneal altar Lady CAROLINE CLEMENT,
third daughter of Lord LEITRIM.
A report was yesterday prevalent, of the death
of a much-respeded CHIEF JUSTICE; but we have
great consolation in thinking that such report was
unfounded.

A Letter from Madras informs us, that on Wed-
nesday the 16th of September, the Right Hon. the
Governor, attended by His Excellency the Com-
mander in Chief, the Members of Council, and the
Gentiemenof the Civil, Naval and Military Services,
delivered to His Highness the Nabob AZEEM
Dow LAH, at Chepauk Palace, the ratified Treaty
received from His Excellency the Most Noble the
Governor-General in Council, for settling the Suc-
cession to the Soubandarry of Arcot, and for vest-
ing the entire Civil and Military Government of
the Carnatic in the Honourable. Company. On the
delivery of the Treaty to His Highness, Royal Sa-
lutes were fired from the Garrison of Fort Saint
Gcorge, from the shipping in the Roads, and vollies
of inusquetry by the Troops under arms.
