but the poor, or rather that description of per-
lions just above the-class of paupers.
Tne CHANCF:LLoR of the r ExClientlan had ne—
. •ver raid no partial inconvenience %meld be found
to arise from this Tax, hut lie thought less hard-
ship would be felt under it than from any •other
impost that might be laid on to the same amount.
The case which had been described by the Noble
Lord was one in which he should have thought
relief would have been afforded,,and liesuspected
the Noble Lord to have misanderstood in some re-
spect. The Tax, ha still contended, would-press
heavy on the rich, on absentees, and on those who
Avoid() otherwise not contribute their full pro-
; portions to the service of the State. Such modi-
fications as would obviate all objections to the
measure, it not be 1u to introduce,
it was' the daty of Varliament to do all they
could., To the observations w MO) had been nide
ou his former connexions by an Unnourable and
Learned Gentleman opposite, he thought it un-
necessary to Make any reply. A Right Hon.
Gentleilan opposite, who, was a distinguished
member of, the Government, he (the Chancellor
of the,Exchequer) bad roundly had the-honour
TO Serve, would not accuse him of doing injustice
to •
thot Administration. Whether be,•bad ever'
been the tiro!, or the channel of jobs which he
ought to hesitate to avow, was a.question which
'be should be coutent to refer to that Right Hon.
Gentleman (Mr. l'onsonhy).
PossoNßY was surprised at the reference
which had been made to hint by the Chancellor
of the'ExChetitier. The situation he held.under
. the Government of 1806, that of Chancellor of
Ireland, necessarily kept-him out of this country,
and he had he'ver had any thing to do with those
offices which regulated the expenditure of thepub-
licJnoney. It was singular that such a reference
should have been made to him, by the Right Hon.
Gentleman who had then been Secretary to the
. "Treasury., Onthis, as on a former evening, that
Right Han, Gentleman was very unfortunate, in
bw recollections.
• Air. Gastima.'s motion respecting certain
transactions between the Bank and the Public,
and the liauk Restriction Loan, Bill, were post-
poned till to-morrow.
Air. TIERNE/ Moved for Copies of the Estimates
and Supplementary Estimates for the Depart-
ments of the Lords Chamberlain and Steward of
the Royal Household ; and CopieS of the actual
.Expenditere,, from the first of January, 1814, to
the first of January, 1816.
Alr. VAIOITTAAT hoped the Right Hon. Gen-
tleman would make his motion to-morrow, in order
that he might see if the whole of the estimates.
could be produced with Out inconvenience.
Mr, TIULLNEY thought At strange the Right
lon. Gentleman should ask for delay.' The..ac-
rienonts unlit be sent in by the Lord Chamberlain,
and he must tell him that if he found a sixpence
beyond the minimised sum under the sign manual
had been advauced, the' Lords of the Treasury de
served impeachment.
Lord CAsTLEREAOH observed, that the common
courtesy of Parliament 'required a notice irf any
minim,. The Right Hon. Gentleman seemed
eurprized that his Hon. Friend could not answer
his call immediately, but it must be recollected
-that he was not the whole Treasury.
Air. Tien:4l4v then withdrew his motion and
gave notice of it for to-morrow.
Sir J. Newroier presented a Petition from
,the
Chamber of Commerce of Waterford, against the
importation into that city of foreign 'butter ; and
praying some measure_ to prevent it.--4t was laid
en the table.

CHAMBER OF DEPU I'IES, MARCIE 9.

de Corbieres made a Report from
,the Com-
inittee on theßudget. It proposes to, consolidate
the tiiti and' new arrears, and liquidlite them by
awns of perpetual rents; The Committee found
nothing to retrench in the expences of the Royal
Household, but recommended a diminution of ex-.
pence in the departments of the Ministers of 'ins-
*ice, the Intetior, War, and Finance. The Report*
rejects . the proposition for -new indirect 'faxes,
suggesting instead atv increase of the existing ones;
1:10 Report was ordered to be printed.

Count Corvetto prviented a Projet in•the name
of the King, .the object of which is in conser
suenge of the delay that liaS taken place in the
discussion of the Undo, and to prevent any in-
terruption in the public service, to authorize the
collecting provisionally until the 30th of June the
direct taxes, on the same rooting as in 1815..

Several Members wanted to come to vote on
this immediately, but others considered such ,a
step as an infraction albeir rule*, and the Pro-
jet was ordered to be printed and sent to the Hu-

react.
4Feuillant, Second Reporter of the Commit-
tee, entered into a detail relative to the rejection
of the new indirect taxes.
Al. Morgan, Third Reporter of the Committee,
presented the development of a theory ou Imports
and Elnews.
