AtiSIL:SED. TAXES.
On thte tiiotion of Mr. LUSHINGTON that the
House go into a Committee on the Assessed Taxes
Bilf, for the purpose Of postponing it,
Sir M. W. RIDLEY wished to, know, whether
any alteration was intended to he made its the
Window Duty on Houses occupied as Shops and
Manufactories I In Manchester, where buildings
tvhicit were formerly dwelling-houses, were now
converted into warehouses for the show of goods,
he understood the Tax was demanded the saute us
usual, lie had also just received a letter, 'in-
torming him, that the Surveyor for Newcastle had
demandekl the payment of such taxes without de-
lay. It it was not the intention of the Right Ho-
nourable Gentleman to give satistactory explana-
tions on this subject, he should resume it himself
at greater length in the Commit tee.
Mr. LusuINGToN (in the absence of the Chan-
cellor of toe Exchequer) said a few words, whiub
we understood tq be in substance, that a satistae-
tory answer to the question of the Honourable
Baronet could not be given, till certain returns
were received, which were daily expected. The
Committee was' then postponed till to-morrow.
The Committee on the Husbandry Horse Du-
deli was postponed till atmday.

FOttEIGN LINEN •
Mr. nvt.ay rose; in parsitence of his notice,
to move for it Committee ot the whole House on
the i'oreigu Linen Trade: His object was-to se-
cure for the merchants of this country a market
abroad, parte-ularly .0 the %Vest Indies, of which,
they were deprived by the (4 v, as it now existed.
The duty on the export of foreign linen was Suet,
as totally to destioy that trade. The per ceutage
was sometimes troni 17 to 19, and the conse-
quence was, that the Whole of the ti WWI trade
wa; enjoyed by other countries. had no
doubt that the Irish and Scotch linen mauutac-
turer ivould profit by removing the duty, and he
contended Oa, the linen manotacturer was never
more flourishing than when this duly did not ,
exist. He consul merely for an inquiry, without
prejudging the question. The liepoet of the
Committee would state, whether it was or was
not expedient to return at present to the system
acted upon when the country was before iit at state
of peace. lii should conclude with tuuvin;—
" That a Select Committee by appointed to take into con-
sideration the Foreign Liura I rade, and re,,urt tiaivon."
Mr. V. FITZOIMALII- crusted tile Hon. anulter
would not succeed in persuading the liOuse to
abandon a system, under the influence of width,
the linen manutacture; pit-Ocular!) in Ireland, had
been Ho prosperous ior several years. This, it
should he recollected,* was the staple produce of
Ireland, and the tendency of the Hon, 111embel's
peopositiou would be totally to destroy it ; Ire had
no doubt the removal •ut these duties upon the .
transit trade, would completely extinguish the-
Irish linen trade, and he trusted that his Noble
friend (Lord Yarmouth) wim had already pre,
seined a petition from those engaged in the
trade, and every other Gentleman interested for
the Noah of Ireland, would resist it. It was
stated oy the Hon. Mover, that foreign natiobis
would have the benefit of the transit trade; this,
however; that I-ion. Member must have known
was impossible, as they could never send out-car-
goes. Did tbe Hoti. Member forget how \this
country had got the benefit of the Spanish market
in South America ; he should hive known that
it was-by the successful imitation of foreign
;miss, facilitated by the measure of which he was
himself the author, viz. the Bid passed two years
ago which permitted the export of the home mar
nutacture without the usual mark upon it. The
gradual increase for the last three years, would
prove the beneficial operation of these duties.—
The imports from Ireland were, in 1813, 35,000,000
ofyards ; in 1814,37,000,0000 f yards ; audio 1815,
49,090,000 of yards; whilst theexports front Bop
land in the corresponding years. were, in the first
year, to the value of .5,800,0001. in the second,
7,800,0001. ; and in the third, 9,800,0001. He
looked upon r he question started by the Hon. Mem,
ber, as as question between the carrying trade and
the. staple manufacture of Ireland. He depre-
sated even an inquiry, the tear of which had al-
ready produced the greatest alarm. Ile had re-
ceived a letter-from Mr, Ferguson, the Chairman
of the Committee of the Linen Ttade at Belfast,
starting, that orders sent overfrom*Eugland, to
•furnish large quantities of lino, in imitation of
foreign linen, fur exportation, had been suspend-
ed, in coniegnenee even of the notice „if the
Honourable The apprehension
throughout the province of Ulster was, that the
linen manufacture was in danger of being wholly
ruined.
UARRIOTT trusted, that' not only foreign
Ham, but other articles of foreign produce fur
making up the cargoes of the British trader, would.
come under the consideration of this-Committee.
In fact, foreign linens and French wines were ak
1110 gt the only articles that were open for this
trade. What was judicious in war, might be in-
jurious in peace,; so it was in the present in.
stance. We had a monopoly front our naval power
-during the war ; bat now we, were in a state of
open competition with other nations, and
therefore, to maintain ourselves, Insve. the same
facilities. The value of rite trade in foreign pro•
Alice was no less thau 17„000,000/, per annum,
which, without taking off these duties, would be
last. f.hle, of these tint iem hat', already
Been severely, felt. As an mideeWriter, he had
kept au account of the flos.tuetion,
.and found it

iitt . the., following. propoitiou during ~•the •last
year. For the first three mouths, the proportion
itt layour of the British trader was, four to.one.;
thexecond threemonths, wo to,one ; the third, at
par; and the lust, two to one against.bim.. Out of
1140 ships entered at. Lloyd's, in January and Fes
euary, there was not one British vessel. ,He
thoughtAhekopening of .tree ports,' as contemplats
ed by Mr. Pitt,_ the. most salt:tory course for all
parts of the empire; our rivals, the French, had
done ,so already. The.. duty upon the export of
French wine of an infeCior quality to South Ames
rice, was so high, as to consume nearly the whole
Yetueot it. Both these articles, therefore, whits
out which it iii.limpossible to make up a cargo,
could not be heti by the British trader, and the
transit trade would thus be wholly iost.. This
trade, which had produced several freights aod
voyages, kept a large capital always in active cir-
culation, atid thus, though not directly promotr
log the revenue, increased it most effectually, by.
increasing the %/ voila) and resources of the coun-
try. Even for the sake of the revenue, therefore,
this trade should not he treated by Ministers with
lesf attention than the direct trade. ,
,
Lord CASTLERNAGO SSW, the general principle
of going into air inquiry upon this subject, was at
first •iissht specious and tempting; but there were
two points to be considered ; first, would the re-
sult of an inquiry be to.4eject the application ?
and ,seeondly, would riot the-greatest alarm be
esaiiled even by entertaining the proposition i-t‘4
Wired no doubt the decision of the Committee
wattle be to reject the proposition which the Hon.
%limber had in view ; lie thought it, therefore;
moth Wiser not to agitate the question. He was
hostile to commercial monopoly on the generil
principle, and therefore did not regret that the
*lisps of other nations, as well es British, were
to he Oren in tneign ports. Hot ei en admitting
the general principle, he SAW reasons, in this par-
ticular case, for not wholly throwing open the
trade, the result of which would- he, -to com-
promise the tranquillity, the iodusiry, and even
the subsistence of a great part of Ireland. A
Committee upon this subject could obtain no in-
formation which mit•ht not be had train documents
already before the House.
Mr. J. I'. GRANT said, that if doubts were stated
to exist by the Noble Lord and the Right Hon.
Geutleman (Mr. V. Fitzgerald) he shoold not have
thought a. Committee necessary. But if doubts
existed, Why not agree to an inquiry ? He re-
spected the, talents of the Noble Lord, but wished
to hear I:te opinion of the hoard, which, it silent,
he should 'oppose did not agree with the Noble
Lord in opinion. lie should also like to hear the
Clowellor of the IL.scht-citter. lie required some-
thittg more than the Neble Lord's statemeut.
which bad made sty little imprvaiillo (he begged
the Noble Lord's pardon) upon those who tits
tended to it, to Wiwi: him to refuse going into a
Committee. He felt the warmest interest in the
prosperity of Ireland ; but because a few .11•11S-
guided persons were alarmed in a part of that
country, was the House to be deterred front le-
gislating upon an important subject is
„Mr. PEEL felt some difficulty in reconciling the
obserVatious of the Hon.. Member who had just
sat down. to his professious of attachment to the,
interests mid Condition of Ireland on former occa-
sions He was, however, ready to suppose the
800. Gentleman perfectly sincere, but spistaken
on Oils sithject. When the Hon, Member talked
of a few miseitidedindividnals, lie must have tar-
got!en.thai ibis was the-only mattuMeture Ireland
Was ..that the whole prOvince-ot 1111ster sebststed.
by ir; and that it constituted a third of the whole
of her exports. When King William declared to
the Parliament of England that the woollen ma-
nufacture should be destroyed, a pledge was given
that the linen matmlucture shoold he protected.--
Would rite Hon. Member violate that pledge. Even
the fear of an inquiry bad prodeeed stagnation in
the trade. The inquiry of the following day into
the state of Ireland • in general, would be intro:
timed under the very worst auspices, if 'the pre-
ceding, day had witnessed a proposition sanctioned
by the House, which tendeddirstetly to destroy the
linen manufactore. The lion.'Metuber (Mr. Yin-
lay) was of opinion that, his proposition would
benefit the Irish manufacturers; but they were of
a different opinion, and they must be tolereble
judges of the interests of their own manufacture.
Theforeigu grower also was of another opinion;
and. both together should certainly outweigh the•
opinion, of the lion. Member. He pledged his
veracity, as •a• man of honour, to the Molise, that
nothing but refusing this motion could allay the
anxiety which even the notice of the subjectlutd
created. The interests, the tranquilli:y, the trade
and industry of a large and estimable portion of
the population of Ireland was at stake.

1%1r:11mb:soli said, he certainly differed inhis
view of ibis question from his :"`able and Right
lion. Friends who had spoken against the motion.
lie thought that, when commerce was returning to
its ancient channels, the country might recur to
the same circumstances as before, when at peace.
But he would not submit' any measure upon his
judgment, without obtaining the approbation of
the,pelson3. so deeply interested in the linen ma.
nutacture in Ireland and Scotland. This he eat-
deavonred to obtain., in consequence of applica-
;lions .to the Board of Thule; but not being able to
pertiade the Irish manikrieturers that the repeal of.
the duty would benefit them, the stated to those
who applied to the Board of Trade, that though
his opinion was strong in 'favour of the Measure,
yet he should not Introduce it without the cOneur-
rence of persons so deeply interested. This was
his reply to two applications ittw year, kind tiie
year before. His opinion remained unchanged,
but there Were peculiar reasons in his view of-the
Matter for not pressing an inquiry.

was absolutely necessary itt the present state of

moving an Address to the Prince Regent, settin
forth, that the House, in pursuance of the Esti.

TRIAL OF SIR R. WILSON,

bether in your heart's you submit to the French
:egislation : you are submitted to it by necessity.
Crime is a thing peculiarly belonging to local juris-
diction. The offence was committed in France:
the prosecution of it belongs exclusively to the
French law : English prisoners, therefore, stand
on your defence! (Accuse At:glair, chfende mann)
The Court, after a short deliberation, prc"
ndunced the following decision :-
- -4' Because every offence. committed in a terns
tory is an ohject of jurisdiction, and because,the
exception demanded by the English prisoners is
not allowed by any construction of the criminal
code, of France, the Court
.declares that there is
no_ gtmind for, the recording, at the reqnest of the.
English prisoners, the declaration now made by,:
m the ; the Court, therefore, orders the 16200
proceed." -
Heide the Clerk read the arret of the Act of
Accusation drawn up by the Procureor-General
Bellart. The reading lasted mitre than two hours.
[Btith these pieces have already appeared in Tag
tita, with the exception of one passage,
which is
.follows, and purports to be an account of au
extract in Sir Robert Wilson's letter to Lord
Grey:.---" He does 'tuft disiemble the unpleasant .
consequences of his enterprise 7.- .he was not ambi-
tions to he imprisoned, or to lose his commission,
but he was resigned on both points. He bad con-
ceived the idea of corumunicating what he had
done to a Great Personage, in order to geoid this
reproach of a clandestine conspiracy ere°

respondent. He had learned,. by the Confiik.irst
ots
of the Duke of Feltre, that Soult was
, on. the t
list of the proscribed, and had written to aprr'le
him of it."J
The Advocate-General retraced rapidly the 1.4'3
of the indictment, nod fixed the attcntiim of thl3
jury on the principal point, 'he applied himself
particularly to the distinction in the cases at the
difTer'ent prisoners. Some have to answer for a
crime: others for an offence only. Ile rCillatted
that the Chamber of Accusation had remitted to ,
the three Englishmen the charge of having col" •'

I now leave (said he) the facts to develop thew
selves : it is right that you should receive your
first impressions from the evidence. You will oh.,
serve with coolness, and determine with cookie"'
1. need not tell you, Gentlemen of the jury, that
justice, whose impassive organ lon are, has tio
regard to the distinctions established in society:
weak or powerful, rich orpOor, natives or foreign-. '
era, in all the accused, justice sees only nun: it
knows nothing of their quality, it wishes to know
'their actions : but what more can I add to thedig-
nified sentiment which you entertain' for your
funetions? When the question concerns equity,
jus-ice, honour, I need use no further TeC0111111e11(1.,
ation to a French jury.
Maclaine de Lavalette, the young
lady her
daughter, and their old female domestic, have
not been summoned here as witnesses:at the
quest of the public prOseentor, but of the pri-
soner Eberle : therefore they will not be heard
till after the charges are gone thrOugh.
The President here ':successively interrogated
the accused ; their answers referred to the detail%
alr,eady given in the indictment.
We pasS over in silence the long interrogalo -
ries of. Eberle, and the debate which they wife
rise to between him and Kergnidec, as nu
fact resented front them. Eberle still appe'ued to
labour under We most unfa.vourable presioriptiops,
while the keeper of the prison was ortly so far
culpable, thathe had omitted souse precautions
which lie did not think necessary, and had showo
sensibility when he should have shown only Vigi-
lance. Tears dimmed his sight : a gaolor should
never weep. 7 •
M. the President made the f6llOwing observe•
tion to tire gaoler "Ott the 201),0t' Deetethber,
being informed by one of the advocates-General
that the execution of the convict Lavalette was to
take place next day, you went to consult M. the
Count Angles, prefect of police. You said to hints !.
Madame Lavalette is in the prison: must I tear
ther from the,m 'nivel her husband ?' M. the Count
Angles said to you, I give you no advice see
your superiors it is for you to know what are
the ditties of your titnation. You, are a roan':hut' you area gaoler.' Ido not say, added the
President, what you ought to have stone : but at
least yon should have redoubled your vigilance."
The President then addressed himself to M. '
Bruce:—
Q. How long have you been in France ?—A.,
About' 13 .tnonths.

tory, among whom, we remarked a great number
of Englishmen and English Ladies, commenced
at eleven o'clock. 11,1". Romain de Seze, . son of
the Peer of the same name, so honourably dis-
tinguished by his defence of Louis XVI. sat as
President of the Court. The other Judges' were
Messrs. ,Plaisatul du Chateau, Delaville, Deeerny,
Diniaty, Demetz-fury.
Eloa, the Advocate-General, was charged.
with the functions of Public l'rosecntor. The
July consisted of Trouillebert, '!'iron, Thiplesses,.
Lemit, Therenin, Guillon de Chapelle, Eden,
Blainvilliers, Nlarze, Deliege, Alerceray, COtte.,

on different benches according to the nature of
the different charges 'itgain3t• theni. General
Wilson was in grand uniform, and ornamented
with brilliant decorations•of seven or-eight orders
of different States of Europe, one of which was
the Grand Cordon of the Russian Order of St.
Anne. Captain Mitchinson wore the uniform
and decorations of his rank.•
At 11 o'clock, M. Deseze, jun. the President
of the Court, opened the, sitting in these terms :
—" The Court is going to submit to the in.ves-
tigatinn of the Jury several accused persons,
French and 'foreigners,' in a.cause which has for
a lone time fixed the public attention. The Court
is convinced that the persons admitted to this 'as-
sembly will not in any way disturb the public
tranquillity :, that they will observe that, religious •
silence which. is due to • the presence of Jaw and •
of astim"

The accused being called upon to give their
names, surname, and qtralities, gave their de.
scriptions as before mentioned. M. Bruce said
with enerey-I am an English citizen.
The 'President then observed, that although
the three Englishmen relied upon the correct
knowledge which they appeared to have of the
French language, and did not ask for an interpre-
ter, yet the law 'of France, always a law of pro-
tection, willed that the.accused should not be de-
prived of tiny means of tacilitatin!; their justifica-
tion, even when unclaimed ; the Court, therefore,
named to that office M. John Robert, who ae&
cordingly took the usual oath.
"M. BrUce (speaking the. French language).—
Otittlenien of the Bench and Gentlemen .of the
Joey,, I have a declaration -to make to you in the
name of Myself and my two
_countrymen.. Al-.
though we have submitted ourselves to the French,
law in consequence of the accusation against us,
We have never lost the privilege of invoking the
law of nations. Reciprocity aiming nations is
the first article of all treatiet ; and as in Eng-
' lati,l French culprits have the right of demanding
a jury composed half of Englishmen and half of
foreigners, it appeared to us that the same right,-;
-Or, if you will, the same favour could not be re-
fused to ns in France.* With this view, we sub.
Witted to erninent lawyers of our own nation se-
veral questions, the solution of which might ills-
tify the right of which we speak. Strengthened
by their decision, we should have been justified
in demanding the favour of a jury half French
and _half English but, gentlemen; the justice
which' has been rendered its by the Chamber of
Accusation, (in acquitting us of any plot against
the tranquillity of -Europe, and• particularly
against the French 'Government), We have deter.
mined to renounce our right. We, therefore,
abcvloo ourselves and without reserve, to
the bottom., and conscienee of a jury entirely cam-.
msed of Frenchmen chi not, even make the
I •
least challenge. •

It:, notwithstanding, we think it necessary to
make a special declaration, it is to express that
we only reno Since the right as far ai we are per-
sonally concerned, anti to prevent any precedent
being drawn from our ease against those of our
compatriots who may hereafter be in the same si-
tuation. We ,cannot and will not prejudice their
rights. In faith whereof we have signed our pre-
sent declaration.

'Q. You remained here during the stay of 8u0:..'
naparte ?---A. Yes ; Y left Paris two hours after
Buonaparte; when be went to take the command
of the army. 1 did not think it right that ars
'English gentleman should remain in a' country
which had commenced hostilities against his owl).
Q. It appears that you returned to Paris, and
were here on'the 28th of June.---A. It was be*
cause Marshal Sachet, who commanded that part
of the frontier which I wished to pass, refused to,
let me pass in spite of a letter which I wrote to
Mm, and I was obliged to return to Paris.
Q. You wrote also to Madame the Duchess of
St; Lett, whom you culled Imperial Highness,
although your Governmer had never recognised
Buonaparte as Empetor.—A. it is true that I wrote
such a letter; 1 gave her that title because it was
the one she bore.

Q. You were connected with several persons tty
the intimate confidence of Buonaparte, pnrticu
larly the Duke of Vicenza I—A: It is 'true ; hurt
do. not see what relation these questions have to
the affair of Lavalette:

M. Dupiu (Advocate for the Englishmen).
Will the Court be pleased to enter this declaration
on the teem(' ?

M. Ma, Advocate .General.---. This declaration
is calculated to astonish ! To claim in France, for
un offence committed in*France, the privileges of
st foreign Legislature, is to set at nought the first
principles of social order : the form in which the
pretension is urged does not at alt change its na-
ture. We oppose the entering this protest or de-
claration on the record. I

M; Dupin maintained that no French law pro.
Whited the composition of a jury half of French-
men and half of foreigners. - It was a question
entirely new, which might fairly be discussed,
,and might or might not be decided against the
accused ; they, however, renounce the discussion,
but in renouncing it they wish Micir declaration
to be recorded. They will one day return to their
coiinrry and they do not wishto expose themselves
to the reproach of having sacrificed the right

M. the Advneate-General.---To say that they
