whether or not it should be abolished. This, how-
ever,• was a question which he could not but think it
premature to discuss, and on which his own mind
was by no means made up, .As to the Sinking
Fund, he wished in the present year to give it an
operation to its fullest extent, and even to continue
this operatihn.as long as the public credit might
.appear to require it, according to the principle of
the Act of 1798, on the faith of which the Public
Creditor advanced his money to Government.—
From this be hid • not the least wish to depart. ee-

Icept on such grounds as should make it equally bene-
ficial to the creditor. The Act of 1815, which he
had the honour to propose to the House, was found-
ed on this principle ; but it contained no provision
relative to a state of peace. How far it could be
adapted to such a state, would be for the wisdom of
Parliament to consider ; but he disclaimed any in-
tention of proposing any thing respecting, the Sink-
ing F d. b
und, which could at all prejudicial to the
Public Creditor.
Mr. BARING replied, that he did not doubt the
faith cf the Right Honourable Gentleman, in not in-
tending to touch the Sinking Fund, to the injury of
the Public Creditor, but he was desirous to know
whether his notion of the Peace Establishment that
' would be necessary, was such as would enable him
to apply the whole of this Fund to the purpose for
which it was originally intended—that of the extinc-
tion of the Public Debt ?
t 'Mr. BROUGHAM wished to know whether it
was intended to modify the Income Tax in a parti-
cular degree, as far as it affected the cultivator of
land, and his horses employed in agriculture ?
The CHANCELLOR. of the EXCHEQUER
repeated, that the state of the agricultural com-
' munity, must speedily call for the serious astentiou
of the House.
Lord CASTLEREAGH moved that the Orders
of the Day on Mondays and Wridays should take
precedence.and be disposed of before other- business

sion-).—Agreed to.
Respecting Private Bills, it was ordered that no
Petitions he received alter the 16th of the present
month ; that no Private Bills be read a first time
after the .5 ft cf March ; and no Report received after
the 16th of May. '
• Mr. W. SMI'I'II expressed his intention of bring-
ing before the House, at an 'early day, a question,
respecting the Exchequer granting Extents in aid,
.for the recovery of private c!ebt.s. It was known
that Extents were granted in ell cases where the per-
`son wait the debtr,r of the Crown. He had been in.
:fored, that and rvitl were frequently made that the
.parties were debtors.of the Crown, the object of which
was to secure a privr.te debt ; a practice which had
very much iocreared, to the detriment of the subjeei.
Mr. HORNER wished to know, whit was the
Noble Lord's invention concerning the discussion of
the contents of the Treaties, which he had just laid
before the 11onse? From the way in which the mo-
tion had been framed, it would appear, that it was
his irtettdon to mix up the discussion an these Trea.
tic„ with that of 'the NegOciations which had taken
rlace at Vienna.
Lord CASTLEREAGH assured the Honourable
Gentleman. that his object was, on that day, to en-
tertain a discussion on the arrangements that took
place on the termir,ation of the law war.

PROPERTY TAY.
Mr. BARING said he wished to put a few quell-
lkies to the Right Honourable Gentleman opposite,
founded on the ooservations he had mane on the pre.
xedinn evening, relative to his intention of continu-
irig the Prop6ty Tax, as it was a subject that had
excited the greatest sunsatian. The first question he

alms, 'whether the powers of the Commissioners were
to be Continued or not, in the same degree as they
exist at present ? Also, whether the continuance of
the tax was intended merely as a temporary mea-
sure, or to-be a permane.nt s,,urce of supply ? Tire,
second question was, whethis by saying that the
Sinking Fond was not to be eLcroach.ld upon, it was
intend.-:d to leave it operatic,: as usual, wholly for
the reduction of the National Debt, and the benefit
of the Public?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
said, that the ilonourahlo Gentleman 'ha put his
(locations in so clear and candid a manner, that he

tion. With respect to the intention of Government
concerning the Property Tax, he thought he allpald

proposition founded dh the basis of the present Act,
but not distinctly the same in all its provisions. His
great object had been to produce such a modification
as, while it fell with less {orce upon all classes, should
not exempt any one width l.zd the ability, from
paying their pioportion. respect to the con-

Mr. METHUEN brought up the Report of the
AJdresq, and moved that it should be reid.
I`..!r. BARING thought .t was a subkct of very
great re ref, that Ministers should have thought
proper to advise so long a prorogation of Parlia-
ment, at a time when the distress of the country was
unexampled-'-when it was labouring in every branch
of its inhlustry. Whether a remedy could Of could
not be afforded, it was at least not very becoming in
his Majesty's Ministers to prorogue Parliament as
they had dune. In the Speech from the Throne
there was contained a statement respecting the pros.
perous condition of our commerce and manui actures.
He was sorry to see that this statement should also
have been introduced into the Address, and re-echoed
to the Throne. The distress, as far as related to
agriculture, was indeed admitted in the Speech ; but
that distress was also extreme with regard to com-
merce and manufactures. Every person at all ac-
quaintJd with the state of the country, knew that
not only the home trade, but every branch of the
external trade, was at present suffering under a de-
pression to an extent which in his lite he had never
before witnessed. He did not mean to impute blame
to Ministers on this account,—to say that this did
not arise necessarily out et the peculiar circumstan-
ces of the country,—or that there was a remcny foe
the evil ; Inn in such a state of the country it was
unexainplcd to leave Parliament so long prorogued ;
and it was an insult to the feelings of the; country to
state from the Throne this account of our prosperity,
which would certainly indeed fill most people with
suiprize. He Wished to say a word with respect to
the nature of Treasury evidence of prosperity. This
W 43 the returns of exports; and he would state the
occasion of our increased exports. The exports to
America having been stopped during the war with'
that country, seven years' goods which had been col-
lected for exportation were at once sent out ; and li
this was the cause of the last yen's increased ex-
porvation. He was sorry to add of this trade, that
it was one of very considerable. loss. They ought
rather to calculate on the loss of the country from
the amount of exports than the profit. But in every
case the accumlation of goods gave, occasion to the
increased exports. With respect to oar finances, he
should be glad it the predictions of the Right Ho-
nOurable Gentleman were to be found right, and if
the country were to chew the extraordinary pheno-
menon, that with the property of the country so re-
duced as it had been during the last twelve months,
and"with the incomes of those persons so teduced who
werpthe consumers of the excisable and taxed arti.
cles, the revenue should still increase. But there
could be no doubt, if the revenue was the same as
formerly, it was because people did not all at once
limit their expenditure to whit was the amount of
their: incomes. With resliect bitirg Assessed Taxes,'
for instance, it was neceirarry tb give a considerabke
notice before any redaction in the taxation Could take
plate. Many persons were not aware of this, inid
tound at the time when they expected a "reduction,
that thei bad yet to give notice of the reduction.

might be right to see liow-fa- r the other transactions
of his Majesty's Government bad It tendency to de-
prive him of thathrilliant title, which he supposed
was to be in future added to that of Defender of the
Faith—(Laugh)—A war had • been declared and a
King deposed—a King whose titles were at least as
long as those of any European Monarch. The Pro.
claim:ion of General Brownrig bore, that in conse-
quence of his violation of the chief duties of sove-
reignty, he had forfeited all right and tide to the
same, and he was declared fallen and deposed.
He supposed General Brownrig had received a lec-
ture from home for the presumption of calling Sove-
reign authority by the title of King. He was glad,
however, to find something like Whig sentiments in
persons appointed to situations of this description. He
had no doubt that this King well deserved to be
hurled from.his throne • but he should suppose that
this act would prove rather injurious to our character
of Champions. of Legitimacy. The above clause of
deposition was fol)owed by rather an awkward clause,
the declaring the kingdom in question to belong to the
'Sovereign of the United Empire. They had all, no
doubt, heard of titles trumped up by Sovereigns to
their nekhbours territories ; but he thought it would
puzzle the most ingenious at malting up such titles to
'frame one for our Sovereign to this kingdom. Mr.
Brownrig, the Governor, after t;epering ti.e King of
Ceylon, ceclzred not. only the King deposed, 6, but
all his family arid relations, whether in the ascending,
descend:Hg, or collateral line, for ever excluded from
the succession." This seemed rather a great stretch
of authority on the mart of the Governor, including
them all in the crimes of this person. lie had not
the smallest doubt of the enormii ies committed by the
Sovereign in question ; Lut they were not, perhaps,
of a more heinous nature than those committed by
the nrni who had hven pl;.ced by this country on the
throne of Spain—(Hear, hear.) But there was some-
thing more in the studious manner with which our
chinos to the title of the rallyini point of legitimacy
were trumpeted forth, than met the car. When it
wa; considered that this had also heftn put in the
pnblic prayer which had been sent all river the coun-
try, there maa -evidently be something more in it
than sacs imagined. HoWever favour4bly etch a sen-
timent might be received in a certain quarter, he was
convinced that throughout the country it met with
the contempt which it deserved. He re:Jly could not
sir why such a sentiment should ',se blaz,,ned in this
nianoer. To the people it could be of no use; it WAS
only calculated to put into the minds of Princes that
they should have a title to their Thrones, notwith-
standing the utmost extent of misconduct—it could
only have a tendchcy to increase that unworthiness
which Princes bat too often manifested.—(Hear.)
Mr. hIA RRYAT was ready to a_tinit that distress
had certainly prevailed, but it arose out of the pecu-
• liar circumstances of the times. ELIE he had also to
state, that the distress which had been peculiarly lilt
was confined to the exporting body, and not to the
community at large. He admitted also that tempo-
rary distresses were necessarily great, and he hoped
his Majesty's Ministers would take into consideration
how speedy and effectual relief could be applied. He,
on the whole, approved. of the Address.
Mr. LOCKHART observed, if it were true that
the distresses in other departments were only tem-
porary, it was not so with the age icultural interest.
The agriculturists feint ever depend upon some sure
price in proportion to the value of the commodity,
and without any positive law they could have no ex-
pectatioa of the price to be obtained. His only hope
was, that Ministers would take this subject into con-
6:aeration. With respect to that part of the Address
which recommended union, he knew of no dieunion
except that which would keep one man from parti-
cipating in the ht.rthens of others. There were se-
veral taxes on agriculture, which must be repealed,
for instance, the tax on malt, a tax which amounted
to a prohibition, and prevented the poor hind from
taking a drop of that beverage, which is necessary
to invigorate his mind, and to refresh his body. In
reviewing the taxes which press upon aAriculture,
tithes called for attention, as the farmer buffered se-
verely, while the tithe-holder suffered nothing. In
agriculture taxation had not the effect of raising
prices as it had in other things, for a tax upon wine
would not fall upon the merchant, but tipos The con-
sumer. If something was not speedily done, agri-
culture not only could not flourish, but its existence
would be at stake. In saying these few words, be
Was positive there never was' a time when tenants and
landlords found themselves in greater distress.. The
evil was not at its height, but at its commencement.
The artificial currency of the country was one of the
causes which produced the evil he described. Money
lent to Government at a former time was not of the
value of the present currency, which is now increased
one half of its former value. Thus what is now laid
in taxation; is paid in double the value of money
when the Loan Was contracted. It was necessary
that the farmer should be put on a level with the
tithe-bolder, and that the interests of agriculture
should be proportioned to the interest of ftinded pro.
petty. It was upon a principle like this the difficulty
could be relieved, for our unity and security depend.
ed upon a judicious and equalized state of taxation.
The Report was then read and agreed to. • • '

ei Let the Edict of the 11th January, 17244 cease to
be a law of the Empire. There is only one GOD,
and this GOD cannot be offended with the diversity
of names which are given to him.". Any thing writ-
ten with :he red pencil can never be recalled: De-
crees in other colours may be altered.

Actording to this Imperial decision, the Edict of
Toleration of the Great Emperor Kang-Hi.of 1672,
sand that of 1711, have been again transcribed from
the Tribunal of Rites, and transmitted, sealed with
the great seal, covered with yellow satin, to Don
Gaspaed della Cruce, a Portuguese. It is remarkable
that it was a Dominican of this name and of the same
nation, who, in 1536, was the first to introduce the
Christian Religion into China.
Nothing can be more agreeable to the Court of
Rome than to see the Christian religion introduced
into so extensive an Empire as that of China, at a pe-
riod in particular when mostof the Princes of Europe,
by proclaiming the toleration of religion in countries
'essentially Catholic, seem to slacken the ties which
united them to the Holy See.
His Holiness received with the most lively joy, this
pleasing intelligence. Father della Croce had the
honour to be presented to him by his Eminence the
Cardinal Secretary -of State, along with the four
novice Chinese Jesuits, who were conducted to the
Audience Chamber by M. Concelliett, Director of the
Propaganda.

We are assured that the Edicts of the Chinese Em-
peror reached our Court through the Portuguese
Ambassador.

Twelve Jesuits will be sent to China in Spring. His
Holiness has addressed a brief felicitation to the
Emperor of China to thank him. We ate even as-
sured that a Bull will be issued to regulate the disci-
pline of the Chinese Churches.
