The !Too& then refolved itfe into the Committee.
On the claufe for allowing a ty o4as. on the re.
gißry of all freeholds in Ireland,
Colonel HUTCHINSON agai role, and Rated,
as the grounds of his oppofition to it, that it was an
attack upon the freeholders themfelves, inafmuch as it
tended to raife the fum of from tsool. to zoool. on
the (mailer freeholders, the mat's of whom was corn-
poled of 'perfons baring fuch tenures to the amount
of no more than vs. It was, in his opinion, an at-
tack upon thefe privileges, by which moR of the trills
County Members were enabled to (it in that Houle.
Mr. JAMES STUART (poke in fupport of Co.
lonel Hutchinfon's oblation,.
Mr. FOSTER contended, that the meafure was
neither unctioaitutional nor fingular in the fmalleft
degree. • It was aot unconßitutional, as the tar was
laid on the regiftry of the freehold once, and was not
an annual duty. It therefore took nothing from the
right of franchife, and, if there was any bardfliip, it
was not on the tax, but in the oeceffity impofed, ex.
clufively, upon bilk freeholders, of regiftering their
freeholds by affidavit. fix mouths before they could
'setae the rights of voting. The fame was not re-
quired in England ; but then this was of the fame na.
cure, precifely. as the Ramp duty upon all public
documents, and all affidavits (worn before perfons
authorized to take them. He referred to the know.
ledge of tbofe who were beg acquainted with his re-
gard to the dative franchife in Ireland, whether be
was oot always peculiarly friendly.to it. It had been
reprefented that the claufe would operate with pecu-
liar hardthip upon the poorer dcfcription of freehold-
ers; and as he walled that the produce of the taz
fhould be obtained from the coffers, of the rich, he
(bould have no objection to poßpone the tax for the
preterit, until the nature of it fhould be properly un.
derftood in Ireland. The Caine objeaions had been
urged by Gentlemen in a former Rage, when his
propolition was approved of by a large majority.—
He doubted not but a fimilar majority would vote
whit him this night, were he difpofed to pulh it to a
divifion ; but, having yielded to their requeft, he had
reafon to espea, in his min, that the opponents of
the Bill would confer a favour upon him, namely.
that on their return to their conftituents, they would
difpofe them, as much as poflible, to give facility to
the colleaion of the other taxes, and particularly
that they would difeountenance, as far as lay in their
power, the private Rills, which were Co injurious to
the iotereax of the revenue.
Mr. MARTIN (of Galway) (aid, that he knew
the tax to be oppopular in Ireland, not on account
of an nivrallinisiefir in the people to contribute to
the apnea of setecelliry and unavoidable war, but
bee n& the power beeholden confide:6d it as an at.
tack awn ;heir framagfes.
The claufe was that withdrawn, the ether clau
to
fe
agreed- 10, and dattlWl ordered to be reported
. •

Mr. FOSTER dies moved for leave to bring in a
Bill for an Enquiry into the Fees. Emoluments, and
any Abates that might have Oiled in the.
Offices of Ireland.
'Mr. CORRY gave notice, that in the bringing in
of. this Bill, he fhoold make fome obf on
Lord Hardwick's Adminiftration, which had done
fo much towards correaing thefe abufes.
Mr. FOSTER replied, that no Bill of this kind
thould be eonfidered as bearing bard upon an Ad-
mintfiration which he conceived to have done its duty.
Mr. FOSTER afterwards gave notice, that to-
morrow he fhould make a motion relative to the la-
ver notes in Ireland.—Adjourned.

Two Hamburgh Mails, being all that were due,
arrived this morning. Their contents chiefly relate
to the preparatory arrangements at the German
Courts for anfwering the notification that has been
fent them of the elevation of Bori•til it to the title
of Emperor. It does not hem probable, that any of
them will hefitate much about acknowledging the
new government, and they will jua be as ready to
acknowledge the one that may follow it—that is, fuch
of them as may not by that time have their ter-
ritories (wallowed up, and their name annihilated in
