STATE OV THE NATION.
Mr. LONG rote to fuggeft to Mr. Grey the pro-
riety of again putting off his Motion on this rub-
jelt under the prefent circumftances, affuring him
at the fame time that if he complied with this re-
quell for the prefent, there would be no danger
whatever of any fubfcqucnt delay.
Mr. Guy laid, that though he
.felt it particu•
'arty unpleafant thus to be fo often obliged to de-
lay his Motion, and though he conceived it to be
extremely amfortunate for the country that this
delay had taken place, yet under the prefent cir-
etunftances be would not obje& to the delay of a
few days, snore efpecially as the Hon. Gentleman
*Allured him that no further delay would be re-
quired. 'He wifbed to know what day next week
would be convenient for the confideration of the
Motion ?

Mr. LONG fuggclting Wednefday fc'nnight, and
Mr. Grey aceeoCngto this, the Motion now [lands
for that day.

The Motion fOr the third reading of the Horfe
Duty-Bill was then made, and gave rife to a deful-
tory difcuffion.
After a fhort converfation betwixt Mr. Sheridan,
Mr. Role, and come other Members, a claufe by
which horfes employed in hackney coaches are to
be exempted from the operation of the Aft, was
agreed to, and introduced into the Bill.
Colonel Pox Tr R role to move fur leave to bring
up a elaufe, exempting from the operation of the
Aft farmers whole rent is under fifty pounds a
year.
Sir RORER r BUXTON thought it was of great
confequence that the Houle lhou!d give every
polfible encouragement to the proprietors of (mall
farms, but conceived that the clause propofed was
calculated to be t,,0 extenfive in its operation. He
was convinced that twenty pounds embraced too
fniall a proportion of the poffeffors of fucL farms,
while fifty pounds was too wide in its application,
and therefore cnr.ccived that a fum betwixt thefe
two c'tremes wouls! be the faireft mode of calcu.
la.i. u.

Mr. P!ri- thought that no flifficient grounds had
been pruduceJ in lupport of thl propoled claufe.
The eYen.ption of [scrim', poffeding farms at a rack
rent tinder twenty pounds had been propored from
iaformati..n that 'his would .fiord 'chef to a very
numerous dais of farmers in the Northern parts
of the kingdom. This then might perhaps be ex-
tremely expedient and falutary, but he could not
help confiderin,g it as a very dangerous principle
to contend that Gentlemen were to he allowed to
bring forward claufes of exemption ftnm any 11,
merely from eircumftances peculiar to a particu-
lar of the country. This would be a mode
of proceeding highly impolitic, as well as de.
ftraiive of the ulinle public revenue.

Mr. M. A. TAvLert adverted to the cafe of cu-
rates, who had in his apprehenfinn particular claims
to exemption from the burdens of this tax. By
the former Bill nn this flibjat they were not ex-
cepted. and he could not help thinkirg that the
Honk was called upon in junice to extend relict
to men who did all the duty belon:4ing to the cic-
rical ear:slier, whilfl their fuperiors were loliing
at e Ile in their carriages.
The Bill wit then read a third time, pared, and
onkred to be carried to the Lords for their con-
currence. _

Mr. M. A. TA rims then gave notice that as loon
as his Majelly's Chancellor of the Exchequer
thoold take his feat, he would feel it his duty tr,
filmic for •tt. reveal of fn much of this Ad as would
be necdrary for granting an exemption to Curates
who peri,,,n.ed (pity in tan churches, and 'bore
isiconac is below a hundred pouuds a year.

STAMP *UV( RIM-
On the Motion for the third leading of th...
Stamp Duty Bill,
Mr. Sit ra in rote to call the attention of the
to the fubjea of the difcount to be given to
the Proprietors of Nov papers, tot*Phich he had
'Livened on a former °major. He trulted from
titte. --nanner in which the Right Hon. Golder/lan
(Mr. Pitt) had fp,iken on that occaiion, he would
be difimfed to admit the jullnels of their claim to
:inve additional dit'count.
Mr. PITT laid that, in confequence of the Rate-
:hem male I,' the Honourable Gentleman, he had '
made lonic (liquifies into the fubjea, hod had rea-
'On to believe that the Proprietors of Newfpapers
did think thentietres entitled to a greater relict
than the Bill propofed to afford. It was to be re
colletied, however, that the propofed difcount was
detigned to afflrd a compenfation only for any
rile which might be occationed by the operation
ofthis 1;i11, ft. had been Rated, indeed, that thc '
' price of paper had ;muted in a molt extraordi-
nary degree, and that confequently the Proprie-
tors of Newfpapers thus labonred under great tilt-
', advantages. This, to be lure, was a fair fubjea of
conlideration ; but it had nothing to do with the
epteition now bcforethe Houfe : the whole quellion
now was, Whether the Houle were to afford them
inch a fair difcount as would leave them e xataly in
the fame fituation as they were previous to this
new tax ; or they were to be allowed filch a dif-
count as would put them on a better footing than
they were before the tax was impofed ? It might
be a fair thing to apply to the Houk for relief, if
they felt themfelves unable, without a very ferious
lots, to carry on their hufinefs, in confequence of
the rife of paper, and from the operation of other
circumitances ; and the Houfe might, perhaps,
feel it to be their duty to afford them relief to a
certain extent. The high price of paper, which
they now felt fo (evenly, might be the effeEt of
temporary caufes : but, whatever was its caufe,
there was nothing in it peeuliar to the prefent tax.
As it did not appear that the propofed difcount
was infufficient to place them on precifely the fame
footing they were previous to its being Unpaid,
he thought the Houk would feel no difficulty in
agreeing to the tax as it now flood, leaving the
con fideration of what further relief might be ne-
ceffary till the fubje& cadre regularly by petition
' under their confederation.
Mr. SHIRRIDAN, in reply, contended that the ex-
planation now given by the Right Honourable
Gentleman was far from being fatisfadory. The
Right Honourable Gentleman had Rated, that it
was his intention to give a full compcnfation to
the proprietors of Newfpapers, but he had not de-
nied that the difcount propofed was far from be-
ing a real indemnification. If it was meant to af-
ford them a fair compenfation they were entitled to
a much larger difcount, or to have the prefent li-
mitations to the price of their papers removed.—
He could not allow it to be either fail' or juft to
fay, that, however the price of paper had increaf-
ed, however the wages of journeymen had ad-
vanced, however every thing connefted with the
expence of printing had been augmented, there cit..
eumftances ought not to be considered when the
difcount to be given was to be fixed. Paper had
advanced within a fhort period 3o per cent. and by
the new tar it would be raifed 20 per cent. more;
the price of the wages of journeymen had been
confiderably augmented, and under there circum-
fiances they had a fair claim to an additional dif-
cqunt. He had been informed by the proprietors
of newfpapers in the country, who paid a revenue
to Government of upwards of fifteen hundred
pounds a year, that milers a larger difcount were
allowed, they could not poflibly go on with their
Winds. Even on the principle of encouragin
the revenue, it was therefore the duty of the Houfe
to grant fuch a fair difcount as might operate as a
full compenation. He fhould, under there cir-
cumftances, propofe, that inflead of four and a half
per cent. as now fpecified in the Bill, eight per
cent. fhould be granted as a difcount. If the
Honourable Gentleman, however, rejeeted this
propofition, he fhould feel it his duty to propofe a
clan& to be added to the Bill, freeing the proprie-
tors.of newfpapers from the limitations to which
they were now rubjetted, and allowing them to
raife their prefent price.
Mr. PITT perfilted in contending that the pro-
pored difcount left the printers of newfpapers in a
titivation in no refret worfe than they were at the
time the tax was impeded.
Mr. Sit MOAN and Mr. Pmr afterwards feve-
rally explained.
Mr. Hos:imps' maintained that the Right Hon.
Gentleman (Mr. Pitt) had by no means proved
to his fatisfaCtion that the propofed difcount would
afford a fair compenfation. By the operation of
the tax, the Proprietors of Newfpapers would be
compelled to encreafe their capital. and in this
view it was eafy to fee that the difconnt would fall
Ilion of the compenfation propofed.
Mr. Rust, on the contrary, argued, that four
and 4 quarter per cent. was a fulficient compenfa-
dun, and that the additional quarter was deligned
merely to apply to the fire of Newfpapers in par-
; ticithir inflances.

Mr. SH V RtDANIS clank was then put and nega-
tived, and the Bill read a third time and paid.
Mr. SHI RIDAN fail, that he lhould take advan-
tage of the couceflions of the Right Hon. Gentle-
man, and bring forward this fubjeet again under
the emsfideration of the Houfe on a future day.

IRkLANO.

Lord CA 5 R EACH brought in a Bill for the
further flifixnlion of the Habeas Corpus Alt in
Ireland, which was read a fira time, and Ordered
to be read a (mond time to-morrow.

Sir JOHN PARNELL alluded to the necelEty of re-
pealing certai.. flanges, prohibiting the landing o:
the cargoes of ips belonging to the Eall India
Company direttly in the ports of Ireland. He
walled that the Honourable Gentleman (Wi.
ydcr) who had brought in the meafure equalis-
ing thz bounties fur importation, would intro-
duce fame repealing claufes calculated to give full
operation to the meafure. If however he &gild
not be difpofe4 to do this, he Ihould feel it to be
his duty to move for the repeal of the OSUMI to
who It he Lad Adverted.

'fr. Itru-At P;.‘l:c in and (tale?
that th: martire milich be had bmi,ght torw••.d
o.ould of nec;liTite involve the repeal to whi. h the
:light Honourable Baronet had alluded. If how-
ever the repeal was not brought forward in Curb a
way as to latisly the willies of the Honourable Ba-
ronet, he would hTve it in his power to fnbmit
my further propolltion to the Houfe, and for his
own parr he thould be happy to difcufs the merits
of any fuck pro;:olition as might be brought for-
ward for their confederation:

Lord CASTLEREAGH brought in A Bill for the
Continuation of certain Irifh Duties, which was
read a firft timc and ordered to be read a fecond
time to-morrow.

hibit the making of Malt, or the Diftilling of Spi-
rits from Grin ain Ireland for a time to be limit-
