[Morning Chronicle]

There has been a report for two days in the City that the
CUANCELLOR of the EI:CHEQUER, instead of meeting the
/apidated state of our finances with an effectual measure of
retrenchment, means to propose a Property Fax of six per
ient. for the srst year, of fire per cent. for the second, of fcur
for the third, and so on till the deficiency shall be made good;
the tar to affect only real property, and to affect no income
from real property under 4.501. a year. A tax of this kind,
even if granted, would be inefficient, fur it would not pro-
duce three millions per annum, even if it did not diminish th•
taxes on consumption, and, therefore, it is to be considered
as the mere nest egg, from which a new brood of taxes on
property is to be hatched. We hare learned from severe ex-
perience how artfully and gradually Ministers proceed from
little to great, when once they delude Pat liament by sacred
professions to trust them. The new House of Commons, we
trust, will not be prevailed on like their predecessors, bat
will insist on retrenchment as a prelude to every new demand
of money,

notice is correctly repwitrd. It is ailliposed Ihat the iilCCOili-
pliccS Will state, that such an address as is referred to in the
notice was prepared and in the possession of some of the de-
fcmh,nts and as the prosecutors would not, according to
du; vales of evidence, he a!lowed to give verbal testimony
of the contents of the address without previously giving no-
tice to the defendants to produce the original, the Crown
Solicitor has served them all with notice.

ROYAL BARRACKS AT CHARING-CROSS.

We have already stated, that part of the King's Mews
were about to he fitted up as a temporary Barracks for the
reception of Troops during the ensuing Trials for High
Treason. We hare since learned that it is to be a permanent
military quarter. Hitherto there has been no depot of
troops iii the initnediate vicinity ut any of the Royal Palaces
of the Metropolis ; and it has been deemed expedient to
supply this deficiency by converting great part of the Royal
Mews at Uharing-cross into a Barrack for the accommoda-
tion of a body of the Life Guards, or such other troops as
may at any time be in immediate attendance upon the Royal
Person ; and henceforward a Military. force will be stationed
there permanently. The buildings which have been, in the
first instance, appropriated to this purpose, under the in-
spection .of his Royal Highness the Commander-in-Chief,
are those which form the eastern side of the area, from the
hack of the bottling-house at Cockspur-street gate, up to the
state stables, built by GEoaGE the Second; and extend-
ing in depth nearly to St. Martin's-lane. In furtherance of
this appropriation, Generals istssistsas and GWVNINIC, Flom-
ries to his late Majesty, who still occupy stables in this range
of building, have received notice to quit; as have also.
the proprietors of the Colossal casts in the old Riding-
house. The strictest economy has been attended to in
this arrangement. Since the dronse of their late Majesties, a
very,. large portion of this extensive Mews has been altoge-
ther useless; express orders hart been given to fit them up
in the cheapest manner possible, without taking down any
part of them ; and the expences of quartering the troops
will he materially diminished.—lt is not true, as stated in
some' of the Papers yesterday morning, that the Military had
already arrived there.
