the consideration of this stibit•it to be postponed' he
would accede to their feel:ng—tsince he Was sure the
intermediate time would be usefully entpl.ited in the
collection of infatuation from without doors.
Sir M. W. RIDLEY was of opinicat that the ad:
ditional duty on advertisements would have an eff ct
exactly contrary to what the Right Hon Geatlematt
(the Chancellor of the Eschequer) seemed to Opect.
Mr. J. P. GRANT observed, that the duty on
I:tw proceedings in Scotland, *3,111 dr, aw.. y ail
actions for stnall debts. 'l4l:e eipeoce would be so
great, that no person would otigitiate in action in
the Court of Sellutni unless for sultis of rteat man-
' nitude.

Mr. HORNER was stireriree teat the
Hon. Gentleman (the Cleve:eller of the Lxceeteter)
should think of increasing the etetep Duees rei tee
law proceedings of Scotlend, particularly .45 they
were already so extremely heavy in that cuuctre.
Sir S. ROMILLY declared th.st tee proposed in-
crease would operate as a total deeial of ju,ict.
the inhabitants of Scotland, where Lee eioceed.ngs
were already so extremely cepenove, end .vliere. in
particular, it shoutd kart be imposed. Tee effect
would be to render litigation an instrument of Inn-
geence in the !rends of the rich to eoppress tee poor.
as none but the optilent could tuppott the sedgin et
law suits.
Sir J. NEWPORT dt precated such a determina-
tion, which was not justified by the peculiar circum-
stances of the two countries.
Mr. J. P. GRAN I' said, that from the nature of
the law proceedings in Scotland, differing essentially
from those in England, an assimilation of the stamp
duties would be an extreme hardship to the formers
and press with a ten-fold severity. He therefore ete,
treated the Chancellor of Exchequer to postpone the
consideration of the question, and inform himseit, by
means of the law officers of the Crown, on the true
state of the case.
Mr. HORNER desired to know how the money to
be derived from such a measure would be employed,
and if it were intended for the increase of the sal-triee
of the law officers ? He understood that the salary
of the Lord Advocate of Scotland was lately raised
to £3,000 per annum, and that of the Solicitor Ge-
neral for Scotland to £l6OO ; he desired to knoW whe-
ther the report of such a misapplication of the public
money was correct ?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
replied, that, the report was correct, as the former
sa-
laries of those officers did not seem adequate.
Sir S. ROMILLY asked, were the chairs of those
officers increased ?—(ficar.)
The Report Was then ordered to be re-committed
en Friday next.
Mr. 11U ETERWORTH remarked on tee extreme
severity suffered by certain legatees of peisons eying
possessed of personal property,. inasmuch as the serve
duties were paid for re 90,000 as for Rloo,oeo. Ties
he thought rhotild be considered, as the priuciple was
very widely extended, and operated with great
injustice.
Mr. V. FITZGERALD moved the further con-
sideration of the Report on the Irish Stamp Duet e
It was, however, postponed till to-morrow, en the
suggestion of Sir S. NEWPORT.
The second reading of the Insolvent Debtorte Del
was postponed to Wednesday seetnight.
The House having resolved iato a Committee on

It is confirmed, trout all quitters, that the Aus-
trian Army occupies Rome; that the Neapolitans
are shut up in Ancona, and that their army is iiiter-
ccred on its road to Foligno. It is als ) said, that
the Lazaroni have disarmed the garrison of Naples.

VIENNA, MAY 1.
Nothing can equal the fury of the people of Italy,
and especially of the Tthcans, against the Maratirts
of Naples, against the French, and against all whom
they suspect to be their partisans. This hatred game
rise, among other circumstances, at Livourne, on
the 17th ult. to acts of tumult, which nothing shun
of tl►e whole military force was able to suppress►

BERLIN, MAY 6.
There is apparently in the topics at Vi.nna some

last week, two Com iersfrom Stockholm; immediately
after which he di,patched to Vienna his Secretary of

TRMSELS, MAY 18.
His Excellency Baron Vincent, the Austriae Am.
bassador to the French Court, has arrived here on
his way to Ghent.
VIENNA, MAY 8.
We expect every moment a courier with the capi•
tulation of Ancona, with which all the military stores
fall into the hands of Austria. Some think Joachim
will sail to France, others that he will land at Man-
fredonia ; and, with the wrecks of his army, go to
Naples and perish sword in hand. Others think it is
too late, otherwise the Queen would not have come to
Ancona, It is supposed she has taken the princip tl
treasures from Naples, and embarked them at Au.
cona, on board the three frigates.
