STATESMAN.

It is worthy of enervation. that Mr. Goocu took
oceisiosis ilk Hasse of Commons last night, to
say—" iMa grill for the repeat of taxes, wherever
.tboy could be 'tabu away with safety to the public
credits and that as fast as our expenditure could be
reduced, be would support the reduction of taxation.
He thoutht it of tht utmost importance that faith
should be kepatkildi the national creditor; and
that though we might be a poor, we ought to
be an boneseteatitte' The repeal of taxes which
is aska by the people's friends, is consistent
with the safety of the public credit. There
are no other means of preserving the public credit.
The lavish expenditure of Government will extinguish'
public credit, by rendering it impossible to pay the
interest of the national Debt, with all the present taxes.
Ministers** net asked to reduce any taxes without being
previously 'hewn where they may reduce the public
expenditure. Mr. FiVaii has shewn where millions
may be saved in the public expenditure ;,which would
give the power of reducing taxation by that amount;
sweeping away the duties on salt, soap, candles, lea-
ther and ptber articles of necessity to the poor. The
cry about the keeping of faith with the public credi-
tor, is either a pretence to support corruption a little
longer, or the Country Gentlemen who use it an
deceived. Mr. Gooce said, he wee ready to oppose any
tangibentredemeas." There are many tangible
enorgA. Let Mr. Gooca examine the papers
called for by Mr. Hour, and be will find work enough
to do in the precis; line be has undertaken to per-
form it.

Extract of a letter from Hull, sth March, 1822:
" On Saturday several of Davis's Straights ships mus-
tered their men, in order to sail this week, but when
on board the ship, they with general consent, refused
to take the wages offered them, which was rather lower
dna last year. I think the wages offered them were
from •40s to 455. per month, with the usual perqui-
sites of half a guinea each man, for each payable fish
caught, and oil money. The owners refusing to give
more wages, the men yesterday assembled in our streets
in bodies, and having found one man who had signed
the agreement with the owners for the reduced- wages,
they violently Kind him, tarred bins, then put a
large matt, with a bole in the middle, his head
through it, on his ,boulders, placed him in a hand
cart, and with two or three more in the cart with him,
made him hold up his hands, bearing a board with the
amount dosses he had signed, for which 1 thought
was It. 51., but it must bate been for 21. ss. The
soldiers were ordered oat, but the amine, dispersed.
The cow:tales who resented the disgraced man, were
very much beaten by the sailors. I believe some of
the men were taken who were most active, and this
morning all is still."
lIONAPARTIeS WILL.
Upon the subject of the Trial now going for-
ward at Paris relative to the property of Bonaparte,
the Meaitesr of the sth contains the following inter-
esting statement :—" M. Jacquinot de Pampelune
pleaded yesterday before the First Chamber of the Tri•
banal of the first Instance,with closed doors, on the af-
fair of the testament of Bonaparte. He laid it dace*
as a fact that Bonaparte was civilly dead since 1815,
that in consequeace the will which he might have
made was lavaad, and therefore M . Bertraad,
Montboleo, and Marchand, acting as testimentary ex.
seniors against U. Wits, ought to be declared BOX
remotes in their application." The JONTRIII de
Penis saga. the King's Attorney insisted that the
sedan mild net be sustaiaed, because the Ordinance
of the 6th of March, 1815, bad giveis commands so
pursaa(eonrir sees) Bonaparte, whence it resulted
that he was meek with civil death, and consequently
incapable of making a will.
