One of our cotemporattes this merniog, states that,
rumours were in circulation yesterday that a coolpessl
bad arisen between the" Nino and his First Migister.,
in consequence of the correspondence made public by'
the Marquis of ANOLZ4T; MR are happy to be able
to assure our Readers that soch rumours have not the
sl•ghtest foundation. •
Me. SLANIT moved last night, in the House of Com-
mons, for the appointment of a Select Committee, to
inquire into the burthens and restrictions *tithe mar.u-
, Iselin) of Malt and Beer, and the supply of Beer to the
-lower classes; having prefaced his motion' by, a very
able speech, in. which he showed the enormous amount,
principally drawn from .the labouring classcs, by the
• duties and taxes affecting Malt and Beer, and the hard.
ship and evils of the existing regulAtions. According
t-to the Hon. Gent.'s statement, %teetotal amount of these
burthens is not less than SAMOA or,about 8s a bathe'
v:on all the Barley made into Malt far Beei in 'England.
;. which. as Barley on the average is worth 4s. a bushel,
'amounts to a tax of 0200 per cent. on iti'veltse. The
. CHANCILIAOR of the EXCtIZQUIIi oppo,sed the motion,
not arguing in favour of the principle of, the present
, taxation, but simply on the ground of the necessity to
maintaiss,the Revenue at its present 'mouth for the
maintenance of public credit and public faith. Of the
• -necessity of.doing so no man can entertain a doubt;
but it Appears to as. that the .que;tion.is, whether, that
object 'might not be maintained by ether measures
than a perseverance in taxes which are onerous
upon certain parts of the crissonitt
,striits are less
able tobear them than other:T*lle labouring classes
are undoubtedly el:mill..shish are suffering in the
• greatest proportioo ea well as degree, and cheap bread
and cheap beer aright, if possible. to be Wearable by
them. We would rather, therefore; see a Property, or
even an Income. to imposed on the More wealthy part
of the community, tend -the taxes affecting the hams-
' diate wants of the pow repealed. or at least diminished,
. theft persevere in the maintenance of taxes which the
poor feel as cruel, and which are more Itspeashre and
. oppressive in their CoUestioa than those which might
. be abated from 04 landholder, or assessed upon the
landowner without difficulty and at little expense.
• We received last night the Paris Papers of Sunday:l
The Ministers have not accepted the refusal of the
.Duke de LAVAL MONTKORINCY to accept the post of
Foreign Minister, but have dispatched another courier
to Vieona to urge him to join them.
Disturbances have again taken place in different pelts
•of France; and at Chalet, in La Vendee. a tricoloured
flag was plantrd in the market-place. The state of dis-
tress which prevails in Paris itself may be estimated by
. the him that the number of tickets of relief daily distri-
buted-is 162,000, entitling the bearers lo receive bread
at the price of four sous the pound;
Them is no foreign intelligence of importance hi
these Papers.
