The Statesman.
London, England, 1815-02-24

Sir WILLI ix Courts said, he was in hopes, that
no such resolution would have been moved on the
present occasion. Nothing could give him greater
pleasure, than when he agreed with the Livery ; but,
in supporting their rights and liberties in Parlia.
ment, he hoped they did not wish him to forfeit his
own. With regard to what had been said as to his
conduct on this subject, he reminded the Livery that
he had acted consistently throughout. The measure,
proposed in Parliament was wrong in principle,
and essentially unjust. There was no occasion for
considering arguments. When, some years ago, it
was proposed to raise the price to Io6s. the quarter;
and when, last year, a minimum of 105 s. was pro-
posed, he resolved to have nothing to do with the
business, and then, he belived, he might have used
some expression like that Which had beets alluded to.
He did all iii his power to oppose the measures for-
merly proposed, and, upon they same principle, he
should do all he co: ld against the present,: There
was, therefore, no need of instructing his toilo that
which he was perfectly willing and roan to FerfOrm
—[Loud applause].
Sir JAMES Straw said, that the evident effect of
the intended alteration in the Corn Laws woold be,
to raise the price of bread to, at least, the average
of the last ten years, which was 14d. and a (ruction,
but probably it would raise it higher. It was now
proposed td flu the price of importation (or Same
consumption at 80s. taken on the average of Eng-
land; but that average would be, for London, at
least 100 s. so that the quartern loaf, instead of sel-
ling in this city at lid. must he fully 16d. He was
decidedly against any interference on the part of
ParliamPnt, and, on that ground, he had last night
voted against going into a Committee, but was sorry
to say that he had been left in a minority of six.

M. Alderman ATKIN% was•not a friend to a mea-
sure which proposed a rise in the price of provisions,
because it was necessary to place the price of labour
in this country, in a state capable of enabling us to
compete with the revived industry of Europe. At
the same time, if it should appear, that the agricul.
turists, or any class of persons, were injured by the
present prices, he should be perfectly ready to take
the case of such persons into consideration. But, in
order to form any opinion on such subject, it was
necessary to know, what effect the peace would have.
It was proposed to fix war prices, before any expe-
rience was had of what peace would produce. He
should, therefore, oppose the measure.
A Resolution, id approbation of the Lord Mayor's
conduct having passed, his Lordship returned thanks,
and the Hall was dissolved.

submitted his own Resolutions as an amendment to
them. _

After some discussion, however, Mr. Hunt's Re-
solutions were negatived, and the original Resolutions
proposed by Mr. Waithman were put, and unani-
mously agreed to ; as were Petitions founded upon
them.

Mr. WAITIIMAN then moved that it be an in-
struction to the Representatives of the city to support
the Petition to the House of Commons.

THE STATESMAN:

by this measure, no small part of the community,
will do us the justice to recollect how sedulously
we have laboured to this end—to expose and

avert the complicated mischief with which such
a proceeding Was fraught—we have not labour-
ed in vain—but we look at the result of the
debate in the House of Commons last night on
the subject embracing so many interests with a feel-
ing very opposite to satisfaction,—a feeling in which
the nation will largely participate. We have sym-
pathised in the distresses of the farmer, who has felt
even the war prices of food almost insufficient to satisfy

the continually increasing demands upon him for rent
and taxes,—we have raised our voices in favour of the
industrious cultivator, and acknowledged that the
labourer was worthy of his hire, but our sympathy
scorned the partial bound of one class of people ;

and fur one individual who, amidst the rich harvest

with the learning and spirit of their profession. To
the Noble Lord (Stanhope) who had wandered 60
largely into the subject, he would say, that though
be had heard that Noble Lord tell British Judges be

doubted his knowledge of Scotchjlaw, and must with-

Lord STANHOPE explained.
The Bill was then read, and the House ordered to

the subject would then be necessarily taken up by

the Committee, which he thought might be made ap-
plicable to very valuable purposes. If uo alteration,
however, should be proposed, he had no difficulty i►►

tremely unfit one.
Mr. H. ADDINGTON, as we understood, in-

In a Committee of the whole House some Reso-

We have today French Papers to the 2'24, and
Brussels and Frankfort Gazettes to the same date.
They bring intelligence from Vienna to the 1 1 th,
and concur in confirming the previous statements,
that at length the general arrangement o f political
affairs is settled.

Lord CASTLEREAGH, they state, has given the
consent of Englt.nd to the final arrangements of
Poland and Saxony; but his departure, originally
fixed for the 10th, was postponed to the 15th. Ire
I is supposed to have succeeded in obtaining the con-
sent of the Allied Powers to the Abolition of the
Slave Trade. Spain and Portugal, it is asserted,
have agreed to give it up in six years, and it is said
that France has agreed to do so in two years instead
.of fire, as fixed in the Treaty of Paris.
Congress is believed to be now occupied in endea.
Ivouring to persuade BoNxeAtm to renounce Elba
and fix himself in Scotland, " where a magnificent
palace and superb surrounding domain is offered him
by England." This we by no means believe. NA-
POLEON is however said to have rejected every offer
of this sort, and to make his stand on the Treaty of
Paris, which Russia has declared she never will
violate, and so the affair rests.
The Empress of RUSSIA was to quit Vienna on the
20th, passing by Berlin to Pitersburgh. The course
of Exchange is fluctuating between 290 and 300.

The affairs of Italy are before Congress, but no
doubt exists that Muarr will be confirmed in his
kingdom, and that Austria will assume the Iron
Crown ; thus all Italy will form two kingdoms. How
far this will be palatable to the people, time only will
show.

The Princess of WALES lives magnificently at Na-
ples, where she is a prodigious favourite with all
classes, and holds a brilliant Court.

FEES OF COURTS OF JUsll CE IN !REES ND.

Sir J. NEWPORT rose to move forleave to bring
its a Bill for the purpose of regulating the Fees end
luisseists of certain Offices in Ireland, on their
determination in the present possessors. He ob.
served that the principle, that the duties of Law
Offices ought not to be divcharged by deputy, but by
principals who should be adequately remunerated for
their services, had been frequently recognised.and
declared by the House. At present, however, many
of these Offices in Ireland were held. by persons of
high rank its the community, who performed no
duty ohatever, and who, nevertheless. derived im-
moose envoi moots from those offices. The Prothouo-
tary of the liieg's Bench and Common Pleas enjoyed
an income of 10,0001. per ann. from his. situation ;.
and the office of Clerk of the Pleas, held by a Noble
Lord and a Cabinet Minister, produced upwards of
11,0001. per ann.secuted, too, in ease of deficiencies,
vim the Consolidated Fund. The Officers of the
Exchequer likewise drew 'you the Consolidated
Fund ; and the Serjeant at Arms, whose fees amount-
ed only for one year to 31. 15s. had drawn upon the
saassFund for 15501. All his present statements
were founded upon the report of the Commissioners
appointed in consequence of an Address to that
Rouse. In 1810 a Bill was twice read for regulat-
ing three great offices of this description, and was
then postponed for three months, on what ground it
was difficult to conceive. In the Bill brought in by
the Hon. Member for Corfe Castle, and unfortu-
nately unsuccessful io another place, the same offices
were made the subject of regulation. The principle
that such places should no longer continue to be
sinecures, bat should be held by those who die.
charged their duties and received aproportionate con-
sideration, had beets repeatedly acknowledged by
that House. He had therefore only to add, that it
was his intention to include in the. Bill for which he
should move, the offices of first and second Itemem-
brancer of the Court of Eschequer, and of Clerk of
the Crown in the Haneper Office. The Right lion.
Baronet concluded by moving for leave to bring in a
Bill.

Mr. FITZGERALD and Mr. BANK ES said a
few words, after which leave was given ' • and Sir J.
Newport and Mr. Nukes were ordered to prepare
and bring in the same.

PROPERTY TAX.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
moved that the Report of the Resolution of the Corn.
trittee of Way and Means should be read a first
time.

General GASCOIGNE did not wish to oppose
the motion, because. although he considered the pe.
titioners against the Property Tax to have objected
to it as a peace measure, the present critical situation
of the country required, in his opinion, an eztraor.
Binary effort. lie regretted, however, that the
Right Hon Gentleman had professed his intention
of not submitting any modifications, as he conceived
there ought to be a marked difference made between
permanent property, and property in which there
was only a life-interest. A similar distinction ought
to be made with respect to income attended with a
risk of capital—lie meant with respect to property
employed in commercial pursuits. If no alteration
should be introduced by the Right lion. Gentleman
he should himself submit some modification of the
measure to the House.

Sir J. NEWPORT objected to the whole prin-
ciple of the measure, as inquisitorial, subversive of
the privileges of Englishmen, indiscriminate in its
operation, and as arming Government with
.powers
which, hi a free country, it ought not to be entrusted
with. In every stage of its progress l►e was deter.
mined to take the sense of the House, as he could
scarcely imagine any emergency that could justify
the renewal of such a tax. He was sorry that any
lion. Members should delude themselves by sup-
posing that any modifications they might propose
would prove successful, after the declaration of the
lt;ght Hon. Gentleman that he saw no reason for at.,
tempting any improvement either in the principle, or
in its application. With respect to what had fallen
the night before from an Hon. Gentleman (Mr.
I3ankes) on the subject of extending this measure to
Ireland, he must observe that that Hon. Member
knew but little of the country for which he proposed
to legislate, if he imagined that such a tax could he
imposed on Leland without endangering the connec-
lion between the two countries. Even in this part
Of the empire, where public opinion in some degree
controulled the Officers of Government, the collec-
tion of the tax was the source of endless vexation ;
hut in the actual ;tate of Ireland, the assessor would
he every thing, end the assessed as nothing. In that
country, too, the eeeiiiigs which would be thus excited,
already embittered by religious differences and other
causes, might be productive of the most mischievous
consequences to the general security of the empire.
He moved as an amendment that the Resolution be
lend this day fortniitht.
Mr. lINNKE.4, in consequence of what had fallen
ft um the Right Hon. Bart., wished to observe, that
o hat lie had already stated, .he had stated advisedly,
and it was his intention to act in conformity to the
opinions he had expressed. Me should threfore take

BROOKSBY V. MATTE.

This was also a motion for a new trial in a case
tried at the last Ebsez Assizes, before Mr. Justice
Le Blanc, on the ground of a misdirection by the
Learned Judge to the Jury. The question simply
was, whether the Plaintiff, after entering int** cow-

. ,
position for tithes with the Rector of the parish, was

PROPERTY TAX--CLEMENT V. LAWSON.

This was an application for a rule to show cause :
why a nonsuit or verdict for the Defendant should
not be entered, or why a new trial should not be
granted.
The Counsel for the Defendant (who made the ap-
plication) stated that the action had been tried at the
last York Assizes, before Mr. Justice Bailey, and
was to receive certain penalties under the Property
Tax Act. The declaration had four counts in it ;
upon three of which the Jury found for the De-
fendant, but on one count found for the Plaintiff,
which subjected the Defendant to the enormous pe-
nalty of 1,8001. The case WAS this :--The De-
fendant bad lent to the Plaintiff the sum of 6001.
at common interest, which was secured.not by a mort-
gage of lands, but by ademise of the lands, atapepper-
corn rent, which demise was, however, to be, void en
the payment of the principal, or regular patmant of
the interest of 151-half yearly. Although its a Court of ,
Equity this transaction might be considered as a I
mortgage, and, the interest money considered at; a

was nothing so %ague as the idea that a military

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, 4vo. 24.

DR. LLOYD'S CASE.

Mr. PoLroca applied to have a rule yeti, which
he had obtained in this case made absolute. Dr.
Lloyd had beets opposed on two grounds; first, that
within two years he had taken the benefit of Lord
Ellenborough's temporary Insolvent Act; and se-
condly, that during his last confinement, he was
once out of the rules • and on the latter point the
Commissioner remanded him. Dr. Lloyd, by affi-
davit and Counsel, now complained that .he was
taken by surprise, not expecting the second point to
be urged against him, and added, that though he had
gone oat of the rules, he had not done so wilfully;
that he transgressed in ignorance of the strict boon-
dariet; he only went as far as the new Bethlem
Hospital, and he was out of the rules bat 15 mi.
notes. It was contended that such case came with.
in the 55th clause of Lord Redesdale's Act, which
gave the Commissioner the discretionary power to
determine whether the misconduct of an insolvent
debtor was such as ought to prevent him from ob-
taining his discharge. A rehearing was therefor*
claimed. _ _

Mr. ANDREWS strongly opposed the motion, main-
taining that the provisions of the Act placed this pe-
culiar case beyond the reach of the Commissioner's
discretion. The Act said that the Prisoner apply.
ing for its benefit, should have previously been
confined three mouths, but it bad been proved, and
the Prisoner very properly remanded on that proof,
that he had not been confined during such period,
having escaped from the rules.
Mr. Serjeant llumivtmaTox deemed himself em-
powered with ample discretion to take cognizance of
Dr. Lloyd's ease, 'and as the Doctor's facts had not
been disturbed by any counter affidavit, he should
order the rule to be made absolute, he paying costs,
awl a rehearing to be had on the Bth of September.
—Rule absolute.

The Defendant pleaded guilty to an indictment for'
'assaulting Mr. Slann, in the shop of Messrs. Smith
and White, at Hounslow.
i The Prosecutor and Mr. White were talking ablut
I"aorne persons who had bees summoned before the
.Magistrates the Prosecutor being the Constable,
'when the Defendant began abusing the Magistrate,
and the Constable nut liking to hear his master
abused, said he must be an impertinent fellow to
speak ill of the Magistrate, when he was not there
and could not possibly know the business. The De.h
fendant immediately knocked Slann itiown. ale Zeit
him most severely. For this offence be was u* to'
receive punishment.
Mr. P. SMITH was heard for the prosecution, and

Monday, with two sureties in 201. each, for his
keeping the peace, or otherwise he must suffer impri-

likely to attract the attention of history, than any
part of bis suspicions career. To these passages the
Noble Marquis said that it was his inteation to call
the attention of their Lordships. He should mention
Wednesday, if that were not deemed an inconvenient
day : and on that occasion also he would move for
such additional information as he thought necessary ;
adding, that he should feel it his duty to animadvert
upon the general aspect of the transaction referred
to—upon its immediate results and probable conse-
quences.
Earl GREY said, that another transaction referred
to in the Papers on the table, appeared to him to re-
quire further explanation from his Majesty's Govern-
ment : he meant with respect to Genoa, and he
would take an opportunity of moving for such in-
formation on Wednesday, if there should be time
enough to enter upon the subject after the motion
of his Noble Friend (Lord Wellesley) should he
disposed of.
The Earl of LIVERPOOL expressed his readi-
ness, as he had communicated to the Noble Earl, to
produce any information which he was capable of
.affording, consistently with his view of public duty ;
and he was equally ready to comply with the wishes
of the Noble Marquis if, u a matter of convenience,
he would iofortn him (Lord L.) what information or
Papers he required.
Marquis WELLESLEY said, that he had already
-communicated to the Noble Earl the Papers which he
at present had in view ; and if any further should oc-

Earl know it.

"We this morning received Paris rapers to the 27th.
The Emperor hu! not left the capital at that date,
but it was perfectly and generally understood that
lie ►could short': set out for the Northern frontier.
MAssmt had arrived at Paris.

Preparations for war are making with the utmost
energy in all parts of France. The whole nation
appears to be united in favour of the present Govern.
trent, and if war is determined on it will probably
be the most sanguinary one ever recorded in history.
Letters from Belgium are inserted, by which it
would appear, that NAPOLEON was extremely popu.
lar in that country. A misunderstanding between
the t'rince of ORANGE and the Duke de Brnat is
spoken of. The Pont and King CHARLES IV. of,
Spain were still at Genoa.
Letters from Spain announce the state of affairs in
that country to be in the most critieal state. Placards
were stuck up all over Madrid, with the following
inscription, " Napoleon for ever—Down with the
Bourbons—Now is sour time Liberates." Every
thing announces a dreadful convulsion.
The Gazette de France contains a long article, in
hich the necessity of peace to all Europe is strongly
insisted on. It argues very ably against war, and
goes over the ground of the legitimacy of Napoleon,
as the Emperor of France ; that if the rights of the
Bourbons are insisted upon, the Family of Bruns.

loxcridarits of the ancient Czars ; and that even in
France the claims of the Bourbons must submit to'

Nl.m +rills. It speaks in high terms of King
Joachim, the renovator of Italian Independence,

Trajan :—" If we hare a Prince, it -is because he
?reserves us from having a Matter."

has signified to Switzerland, that its neutrality is not
