_" MADRID, APRIL 27.—One (if our Journals
relates the followi,ig anecdote, of which it says,
it can attest the authenticity :
" Within these few days, the Duke de Laval,
being at the Secretary of State's Office, the King
sent for him, The Duke, "though in an undress,
proceeded to attend his Majesty, who said to
him, If any one in France doubts the sincerity
of my accession to the Constitutional Regime,
and pretends that the oath which I hare taken
has been extorted from me by violence, I reri,,st
you to contradict such an acsertiun, and to write
to your Court and your friends that my oath was
spontaneous.'"

(Extract of a Letter from Washington, dated Aprii ID)
" Relative to the passing of • the New Tariff
Bill, 1 ant now enabled to say that I have found
a change of opinions. In the early part of the
session I thought them generally unfavourable.
I have lately peteeived a'turn in many minds, and
it is slow bdireed twit the Bill will pass without
much opposition, as it appears to have been at-
nintzeil by Committee in strict accordance
with the views of tae Treasury."

We have often recommended the resumption of
a PROPERTY TAX, as one of the very best expedi-
ents, under due liMitations, for lightening the
burthens of the Public. Such an impost would
fall chiefly on the opulent classes, by whom it
would hardly be felt, if felt at all. The state of
the country requires that the more wealthy part of
the community should contribute cheerfully to the
utmost of their power to mitigate the distresses of
the lower classes. We are therefore glad to find
that Mr. MABERLEY, who has no occasion to court
popularity on the one hand, or Ministerial fa-
Your on the other, came forwarelast night and
recommended the_ Pdoption of a Property Tax, that
should not affect, what must naturally be casual,
trade, and the income arising from professions.—
We are still more glad to find that ti?ECHANCELLOR
of the EXCHEQUER, in answering the Hon. Gentl-
eman, intimated no opposition to such a measure,
and though properly delivering himself with re- I
serve, yet, in reference to the Tax it) rpttstittn, ae-
cottntitig.'.or that reserve, as grounded upon duty
to the House ',nil the Uontory, to avoid a prema-
ture development of ti)r fin,ttehl arrangements in
preparation.

We were very s.rly to see the following para-
graph in a Morning l'Aper of yesterday, which
htrilerro been considered as what is styled a
Ministerial I'Aper
" The seneral participation of all classes of his Majesty's
Catholic Sunjects throiiiiouto Great Britain in the senti-
ments coritaiaed ,in this highly proper, dignified, and loyal
Address, cannot fail, we are sure, of making the deepest im-
pression on every Englishman who peruses it, and will in-
sure, we have no doubt, on the part of the Sovereign, that
immediate attention which a Body, so eminently respectable
as that of the Britisi Cathoiics, has so long merited."

The preceding observations, we hardly need say,
apply to the Petition from THE BRITISH ROMAN
CATHOLICS, Which was prevented to HIS MA-
JESTY at the Levee ou IVednesday, and appeared
in our Paper of yesterday. We regret that such
observations should appear in such a place, as
they tend to spew that the report of diskions
among those who may be called upon to decide
upOn the Claims of POPERY is not without foun-
dation. On the other hand, it may indeed he in-
ferred, that by manifesting such sentiments, the
Paper in question does not possess the counte-
nance imputed to it.

It is evident, by the following paragraph which
appeared in The Dublin Evening Post of Tuesday,
a Paper zealous in favour of Roman Catholic
Claims, that POPERY is quite on the alert, and by
the mariner in which the last word is printed, that
it is confident of success :

" CATHOLIC EMANCIPATION.--A report was in general
circulation yesterday, and got into some of the Evening
Papers, that a Letter had been received in town from Lord
CASTLEREAGH to Mr. GRATTAN, and another from Lord FIN-
GAL', to Dr. TROY, bearing that Ministers intend to- make
Emancipation a Cabinet Measure. On inquiry, we were not
able to trace the report to any respectable source. We look
upon it, therefore, at least as premature."

It is strongly reported in the Political Circles,
that a certain Leidet of the Oppo.itiou ranks has
signified his intention to join the Ministerial
Bands, and that for tear rat suffering in reptitatioo
ny too suditet, a tetreat trouts his Parry, be is gra-
dually ',veva:ink; to work his way round, Tire

intended desertion is of course imputed to in.
terested motives, but as the person in questi°ll
once suffered so much at a public Alreting by the
insolence of a radical mob in London, a 'lO.l
not, it seems, approve of those whom he deem'
Rudice Representatives, and why might beco.lle
powerful competitors on the same side. Tl'e
Gentleman, indeed, bas-hitherto found Opposition
but a barren field, and thinks he sees a prospect
of elevation to professional offices which do nor
appear to be filled in a manner adequate to tbe
expectation which, on powerful recommet.dationv,
had produced the appointinews.

COUNT BERGAM I.—This person, who is gene'
rally reported to have aced a great parr in dig
Dranta which has long been tierfoiming abroad/
but the (Mnottement of which seenas to be rapidli
approachine, is positively said to have once bea
in the siination t,f Valet to Captain BRACE, of the
lloyalNavy. In confirotation of this fact, it is said,
that when sortie Officers of the British Navy were
invited by a great Lady nfpw abroad to a Dinner,
they declined attending, beca,,se they had Bewail,'
seen the person in goestio, acting in that humble
capacity, and understood that, he was to be one of
the company.

A Flanders Al ,i 1 arrived last nirrht with Papers
from Brussels to the 8 h inst. The sentence 01
death pronounced on Sandt, tl,e murderer of
Kul zsscro, has been confirmed by the Governmeng
of Baden. It appears that preparations have beers
making for the reception of some member of the
Royal Family at Brussels, and hence arose the
erroneous report of the art ival of lrer Royal fligh'i
ness the Duchess of KENT.—The following are
