In the Court of Common Council, yesterday, Mr.
WarrituAN moved the Resolutions printed in our first
'page against the Properly Tax being continued. He
prefaced.them with a speech, in which he stated, in
forcible language, the unequal pressure of the Tax,
and the evils resulting from the inqoisitorial mode of
collecting it. After a discussion of some length, in
which the Rest lutions met ith a very slight opposi-
tion, they were carried u moody, with the excep-
tion of cute hand held up lust the first Resolution.
A Petition, embracing t übstance of the Resolu-
tions, was adopted, and ordered to be presented to
Pallan.eut.

6itni:.tr Resolutions will, it is probable, be adopted
by the Common :lall on Tuesday next ; and we may
condo:L, that this example will be followed by the
several Wards within the City, and by the Counties
and Cities throughout the Kingdom : for, though the
Country submitted with great patriotism to the heavy
expenses necessarily incurred by the unexampled
struggle in which we were engaged, the Property
Tax has always been obnoxious to a great majority
of the nati..n.

To-day we received Paris Papers of Tuesday. We
have made such selections as seem to us to be most
impt,ri ant : from Vienna we learn nothing through
their medium that can be relied on as authentic. The
inlellie,ence from Madrid continues to be of a most
disgusting complexion.
Tue Chamber of Deputies has been occupied for

several days in discussing the claims of Marseilles to
the privileges of a free port. The Regal Projet
granting the Mt privileges has been approved of by a
large majority.
The Gazette de France replies, in the following

terms, to the charges brought against it by the Mini-
. bur, and which we gave yesterday :—" The article
in the Gazette de France complained of, proves that at
the period alluded to it was very well informed, and
that its fears were founded upon what was then pass-

. - -
ing, saving such variations as ?flight intervene. It
• was never dou:tful that the occupation of Saxony was
provisionally resolved on. It was not doubtful that all
the Northern Gazettes announced that Frederick Wil-
liam would be King of Fruss;a and Saxony, &c. &c.
The Gazette de France was, therefore, no farther

in fault than to have been correctly and promptly in.
formed, if a fault it can be caned to have awakened
the attention of Europe to an act of so much impor-
tance. To conclude, the Editor of the article of the
11th November cannot reproach himself with having
hurt the feelings of a truly respectable'Sovereign, or
of having deciJed haughtily on questions of high im-
portance, which were beyond his attainments. The
eonchltnces, therefore, with wUch'we are reproached,
deserve rather praise than blame, as being, in fact,
but the expression of a heart wounded by the ap-
pearance of a manifest act of injustice."
The gobs mouches (gossips) of Paris, are on the tip-
toe of expectation with respect to a trial which is
about to take place in the French Courts, between
Lours BONAPARTE, the Ez-King of Holland, and
Madame, his wife. They have not lived together for
several years in consequence of her reported doubly
incestuous intimacy with BONAPARTE, her husband's
elder brother. Several curious disclosures respvcung
the vile Corsican's private amours are expected to be
made. Madame Lours BONAPARTE, or the Countess
ST. Let:, as sire calls herself, was daughter to Jose-
Pirrxe, ti,e idt.t Empress, and the cause now at issue
between her and her unfortunate husband, respects
her share in her mother's succession. Against the
moral character of Louts BoriAPARTz there never was

the slightest impeachment.
An article from Vienna states, that the fate of
Saxony is in the hands of England. There are two
parties on this question, and both, it seems, have been
anxious to obtain the concurrence of this country.
Should this prove correct it is probable that the in.
depeadcnc.: of S.ixony will be preserved. It is true
that the KING deserve.; no favour from the Allies;
but it is equally true that the Government of this
country does not it a maxim that a whole corn.
:nunity is to be injuicd for the punishment of its
chief magistrate.
