pence; but he must say, that, he hardly ever met with
a Co•nmissiciner under the Act who did not consider
his duty as eitiemely disagreeable. The Worst p.m
of du, inquisitorial tax resulted from the Agents and
Inspectors.
General GASCOIGNE was in favour of modifi-
cations*
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
objected to any proposition for a Committee to en_
ere into the subject (alluding to something that
passed while strangers were excluded), as it could
lead to delay, and would tend to derange the
whole machinery.
,Ir. Alderman ATKINS explained.
Mr. BARING.—This tax came rather ungra-
tioq,iy, after a refusal of inquiry into the expenses of
the Ova List ; particularly when it was considered
time the majority on that question was composed.
The Message of the Prince Regent was not of itself
sufficient foundation for such a tax. He did not
desire a Committee, but was willing to take it as a
temporary tax for one year, and not, by means of
modifications, as a comfortable tiling for life !
t.ix was, however, oppressive on the middling clashes,
and its consequences were dangerous to government,
and to the character at Parliament. He should op.
pose its renewal as a permanent measure,.but would
not have objected to its continuance for vise year,

Our Readers have already been informed, th.it
on the 9.5:h ultimo a Treaty was concluded At Vi-
enna, by which the principal Powers of Europe con-
iim the Treaties formerly executed. and engage to
act in concert with their whole means for their main-
tenance, and for the purpose of crushing and pu-
nishing every dirtuter of the public peace of Europe.
We now lay before our Readers a copy of that im-
yrirtant document—the most important certainly
which has appeared for some ages;

TREATY OF ALLIANCE, OFFENSIVE
AND DEFENSIVE,
SETWEIN

RUSSIA, AUSTRIA, 'PitiSIA. AND GREAT BRITAIN.
In the name of the Holy and Undivided Trinity :

'Their Majesties the Emperor of all the Russia., the
Emperor of Austria, the King of Prussia,. and the
King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and
Ireland, considering the consequences which the en-
trance of Buonaparte into France, and the present
situation of that kingdom, may have wish respect to
the security of Europe, have determined, In these
weighty circumstances, to carry into effect the prin.
ciples consecrated in the Treaty of Chaumont. They
have therefore agreed, by a solemn Treaty, mutually
signed by cult of the four Powers, to renew the en-
gagement that they will defend the so happily restored
order of things in Europe against all violation, and
to idopt the most effectual measures for carrying this
engagement into effect, and also to give it that neces-
sary extension which existing circumstances itripeti-
cooly demand.

(Here fullow the appointments, in the usual form,
of the different Plenipotentiaries whose names are
undersigned.)
Art. I. The Hi:,-11 Contracting Pawers solemnly
engage to unite the resources of their rest ectire States,
tor the maintenance of the Treaty of Peace con-
cluded at Paris on ti.c 30th of May, 1814, as well as
that of the Congress of Vienna,--to carry into full
effect the dispositions contained in these Treaties,—
inviolably to observe their ratified and subscribed
agttements, According to their full import,—to de-1
hod them •Ig.: last every attack, and especially against
prrkct, of Napoleon Buonaparte. Towards this
end they bind themselves, should the King of France
desire it, and in the spirit of the Declaration issned
on the kith uf I\l4rels, with common consent and mu-
tual agreement, to bring to justice all such as may
have Already joined, or shall hereafter join the party
61 Nap ,le'n, in oider to compel him to relinquish his
projecv, and to render him incapable in future of dis-
ULLA!, Cie tranquillity of Europe and the general
;Lice. under the protection of which the rights, the
*medorn, and the independence of nations have been
esublished and secured. •

IL Although so Feat and salutary an object does
ant permit that the means destined to its attainment
!!.lulti be limited, an/ although the High Contract-
I:lg Powers have resolved to devote to this object all
cods resources as they can, in their respective situa-
"az, dispose of; yet they have nevertheless agreed,
'hat every one of them shall constantly have in the
ficl4 150,000 man complete, of whom at least one-
tnth shall be cavalry, with a proportionate artillery
(itot reckoning garrislns), and to employ them in
active and united service against the common enemy.
ILL The High Contracting i'crtion solemnly ea'

gage not to !ay down their arms but in igieetnes• i
with each other, nor •I • it the objet of the war as-
signed in the Isi Article of the present Treaty shall
have been attained ; nor until Buonaparte shall be
wholly and completely deprived of the power of ex.
citing disturbances, acid of being able to renew his
attempts to obtain di/ 'lief power in France.
IV. As he present *Treaty principally relates to
the present circtuastAnces, the engagements id the
Treaty of Chaumont, and particularly that contained
in the 16th Article, shall again recover their full
furee, as soon as the present object shall be attained.
V. 'Every thing relating tq the command of the
Allied Armies, the maintenance of the same, icc.
shall be regulated by a special convention.
VI. The High Contracting Parties shall have the
right reciprocally to accredit with the Generals,
Commanders of their armies, Officers, who shall be
allowed the liberty of corresponding with their Go-
vernments, in order to inform them of the military
ereit.i, and of all that relates to the operations of the
armies.

VII. As the engagements entered into by the pre.
sent Treaty have for object to maintain the general
peace, the High Contracting Powers agree to invite
all thP Powtrs of Europe to accede to them.
VIII. As the present Treaty is simply and solely
entered into with a view to support France and every
other threatened country against the attempts of 80.
naparte and his adherents, his Most Christian Majesty
shall be s.)ecially invited to accede thereto; and in
the event of his Majesty's claiming the force specified
in article 2, he shall make known what assistance his
circumstances enable him to contribute towards the
eject of the present Treaty.
IX. The present Treaty shall be ratified, and the
ratifications exchanged within the period of one
month, or sooner if possible.
In testimony whereof the respective Plenipoten-
tiaries have signed and sealed the same.

At Vienna, the 2Stb of March, 1812.

It remains to be seen what effect the above Treaty
will produce upon the sober part of the French na-
tion. We only remark at present that on the 25th of
March the flight of the BOURBONS and the arrival of
BONAPARTE in Paris must have been known at Vienna.
This Treaty must therefore be viewed under a very
different aspect from the Declaration first published
at Vienna after his landing on the sail of France was
known in that city. On the face of it is a delibe-
rate pledge on the part of all the Powers not to con-
sider the peace of Europe as secured till the Usurper
shall have been driven from the throne, and his ad-
herents shall have been prisialted for their perjury and
treason.

In its present form the Treaty is signed only by
the Ministers of Russia, Austria, Prussia, and Great
; but all the other Powers are to be invited to
accede to it. It is known that several of them have
already nntifled their accession, and it is expected that
most of them will concur. Fears, however, are still en-
tertained respecting the King of NAPLES ; and if we
may credit accounts, brought in pirate letters, by
the last Hsmburgh Mail, the conduct of the CROWN
Pan= of Swiusw has become so mysterious, as
not only to excite suspicions among the Allies, but
to render it necessary to appoint • a strong divi-
sion of the Russian Army to watch his movetnents-
-The defection of these Powers, should it actually
come to that, will prove very injurious to the general
cause ; but we cannot doubt that every reasonable
assurance will be given tl those which may be waver-
ing, on account of supposed dangers with which they
may conceive themselves to be threttened. It is cer-
tainly much to be desired that unanimity should be
established and maintained among the different
Powers, when engaged in conflict with a Power
which has already nearly ruined Europe.

This morning we received Paris Papers to Wanes.
day. Their contents are important. There has been
a change in the Ministry. Lucian BONAPARTE has
been appointed Minister of the Interior, in the room
of Caanot, who has been placed at the head of the
War Department, for DAVOUET, who will probably
take the field with one of the armies.

It appears from the Moninur, that the French have
abundance of spies in the different States of Europe.
A few days ago they pretended to have no intelli•
gence respecting the movements of the Allies but
what they were able to collect from Foreign Journals:
now they publish the Reports of the Officers who
had been sent a to spy out the land."
The statements, however, augur well as to the zeal
of the Allies ; for already they have, according to
these accounts, nearly 600,900 men in motion, and
expected to be in line, that is, ready for action on the
French frontier by the 15th of June. The object of
the publication evidently is, to rouse the French peo-
ple to action ; for they inform them that the Emperor
ALLIANDER has kindly engaged to send all the priso.
ners he may take to the further confines of Russia,
there to be incorporated with his armies, or colonized
at the foot of Mount Caucasus 1 iftc.

The Papers mention a second action between the
troops of the KING of NAPLIIS and the Austrians, at
Modena, in which the former are again Kited to

;have been victorious—but we must not etihaeige. The
following are extrgets :

PARIS, APRIL IP.

It is said that Prince Canino (Lucien Bonaparte)
is appointed Minister of the Interior; that Count
Carnot goes to the War Department ; and M. Mer-
lin (de Douai) is appointed Minister of Justice.
Last Sunday the pupils of the Lycee Intiteriak pre-
sented a petition to the Emperor, in which they re-
quest that they may be called to their classes by the
sound of the drum, and not by the bell, as under the
former Government.

The agreeable intelligence from Marseilles yes.
terday was announced by the discharge of 100 pieces
of cannon from the Artillery of the Invalids.
The Emperor has quitted the Palace of the Thuil.
leries, to occupy the Palace Elysee
We are assured that M. Benjamin Constant had,
within these few days, a lung confercnce with the
Emperor on the subject of the new Constitution, hav-
ing been sent for.

The 3d corps of observation, which is collecting on
'the side of Mezieres, is placed under the orders of
the Doc de Plaisance (Marshal Le Brun).
We are again assured that the King of Naples has
beaten the Austrians at Modena ; that he h is taken
possession of Leghorn; and that General Stephani is
killed. But no Official news is received of all these
events.

Lieutenant.deneral Count Grouchy has been ap.
pointed a Marshal of France.

Besides the Lieutenants of Police already appoin-
ted, his Majesty has created twelve extraordinary
Lieutenants in various ports and °tiltr important
cities.—French Funds, 61 francs and a fraction.

Letter from General Grouchy to the Emperor :

" Head-Quarters, Avignon, April 111, 2 P.M.

et Starr—l have the honour to announce to your
Majesty that the city of Marseilles displAyed the Na-
tional cockade yesterday, and thus the tri-coloured
flag waves throughout the whole territory of the
Empire.
64 Our advanced guard is in full marsh from Or.
gon upon Aix. I think I shall halt it, and concert
measures with the Marshal Prince of Essiing for se-
curing the public tranquillity. In consequence lam
going to Marseilles, whither I beg your Majesty to
send me orders.

6$ If I have been sufficiently fortunate, Sire, to
justify the confidence with which you have honoured
me, in sending me to quell the civil disturbances in
the South, deign to believe, Sire, that the recom-
pence which I most pant after is to be called near the
person of your Majesty to offer you new proofs of
my fidelity and devotion. I am, &c.

arrival at Lyons, and the various pieces relative
