EXCISE DUTIES.
_ _

The Order of the hey bevels( two read for the
Hone lo resolve Itself Iwo a Committee o• t►e
Eaeise Doiies Bill. _

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
mo►ed that the Speaker should hive the Chair.
The Margolis of TA VISTOCK opposed the Bill.
Why did not Ministers propose a renewal of the In-
come Tat, which they believed to be a burden epee
the Members of that House, and not open the coun-
try, instead of the lam which they had admitted to
be felt by the country, and especially by the poorer
classes? They acted so, obviously because they
were afraid of a defeat in that noose spots the In.
come Tar. But would they have last year proposed
Bafflet now rrquired? If they had made the pro-
posed, would it have been endured in the last year
of the last Parliament ?—(Cheers )—Was it set-
prising that the People of this country should be dis-
contented, when !bey saw their Representatives shel-
tering themselves from an Income Tat ?—[lleort]
—when they saw those Representatives at the same
time laying (either taxes on malt, (In tea, and on
wools—(Great cheering.)— It had long been his
dun persussinn, that until the floes. of Commons
should be really returned by the People, it was idle
and eteless to resist en unjust and oppressive system
of taxation.—[l/ear?]—The only remedy was to be
Coned la shortening the duration of Parliaments, end
giving the People en equal Representation.—(lleor,
Meer!)—lf any proof was required, let them look at
the support given to Ministers In the lazes uow pro-
posed. In the last General Election, wherever the
geese of the People could be taken, the public voice
demanded, not • mere transfer of power from one
party to another; it spoke, not the language of
party, bet the language of truth, which is ►is mind
was paramount and superior to all other considers.
Liens; it expressed the most decided hostility to our
great peace establishmeols—(llearl)--and to the
inherence exercised Ist that House by the Masters
of the Crown.—(veers.)—flow was it that the
People and the Hesse of Commons were the. at vit.
dance? How happened it, that when the People'
called loudly and earnestly for retrenchment and
economy, the Ministers, backed by overwhelming'
majorities, answered them by imposing fresh taps,
and increasing their overpowering burdens? The
tlesr and indisputable cause was, that the majority
of that Hesse wet. returned by Borough-mongering
and cempllee, sod that Parliaments continued for
seven years.,—(/Tear!)—Until he saw ►eduction in!
our estabtishestsets, Reform of that House, and
economy in Ile *bole management of public money,
he, for one, wield not consent to see as more.—
The Noble alertiois concluded by tooting an amend-
ment that the Boit be committed this des• sit months.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
said, that the tsars proposed were necessary fur rho
support of pehlic credit, for the satisfaction of
the public creditor, and for maintaining the honour of
the country. The arm of 3,000,0001. would be
raised with very little inrresee of the bertha, of the
poor. The great dory e Malt would scarcely be
frit et all by the poor ; .t would not imposts the
pfic: of beer it vieuld to found t 3 devo!le Mescal

wholly on the opeleet brewers. Of the tat on
Sipirits h. might snake the same remark. Hers, then,
w►re 4.000,0001. raised, while no charg► at all was
reed. in the price of th• aiticles loco,
—This wai •pled in the semis of taaation.

. _
Mr. CALVERT mid, be had
surprise then when be heard the Right Non. ro4leer-
man amert, that obese met would affect only the
rich.—[lleer, hear!]—Ile ststed that the for. was
the veirjr•iers.—ilest the tears would mot 'OM the
rich. bet would affect the poor. For this episinit he
would give his reasons. 1'0,4 Elcisentan was puled-
«l by Isar from private premise/. Every, prudent
parsers weeld theists/. perchese malt arser-keiere the
tea lkeethl be imposed, and brew his ow• bee*. The
rich eel, could do this; the poor bed no woes ef
escaping the peymeat nt the fps, bet by the creel re.
source of privation. The Bight lies. Geethresse
had said, that the price of beer ersuld set be la-
trooped ; hal would not the tits retard the fell of
prices ? If the Manatee meat pay 9.. 4d. per yeerter
on the stock in hied, how could it fail to retard the
lowering of the price of beer?—[Cheers.]
Mr. BENNET!' said, in answer to the Right
ilea. Gentlemen, that es he had ietredeced a Rees-
toilets declaring 11. sod Is. to be equivalent to a
guinea, and had afterwerds resounted this opinion,
as appesend by his *grommet with the Bank Bill, en
be week' find hereafter that the poor weld be •f..
&Med by the lases which he imposed. Ihe doctrine
Dow essiatained was. in point of reasenableoese snit
trash, on a level with the decide., that it. and is.
were equivalent to a seises; sod the Right Hon..
Geosiensen would hereafter have to tell the Ileeee,
that he bed been in error. No person in that Howse
could deny, that a tea open themselves bO4l been re-
pelled by the House, and that tales epee the poor sere
now proposed. No person could deity It. The peer
were lobe lazed. Politic credit was to be restored
by grinding the peer, sad the public creditor was t
be paid from the pockets of the poor. Whet had the
Right Ilea. Castleman to say for the las on tea ?
(Mgr !)—Ter was a necessary of life. None could
eater into the dweiliegs of the poor, sad see them at
their meals, without heist' convinced that it was a
necessary Of life, and already toe heavily testa.—
Neither be nor Buy of those with whom he acted
would eiery coronet to impose fazes in the prossat
circumstances of the ceeetry.

Mr. GRENFELL said, that b. should rots fit
iloi motion of the Noble Lord.

Th. Menials of TAVISTOCIC esplaised, that be
should tosist tazatimi until he saw aa aUeopt ea die
pert of Midilds le retreads.

Mr. GOOCII could fiod no excess in a period of
profound peace to revive the impost on malt, whirls
was originally resorted to es a war tax only.
Mr. PRICE agreed with his Noble Prised la vet.
log against the principle of the Bill.
Lord EBRINGTON was glad of this opportesity
of opposing the principle of the SIMIIIfII.
Lord COMPTON supported the tax.
Lord A. II A All LTON saintaioed, that it was no.
cessary for the Chancellor of the Exchequer to es.
quire, not merely what lases were necessary, bet what
tales the country could afford to pay. His Lordship
Insisted that Government were laying on stew taxes
in direct contradiction to the promises they bad
held out of sugmentiog Reveries and growing pros-
perity.
Mr. COKE argued, that the oppression upon the
landed interest by the new Malt Tax would be se.
',rely felt. He woald go tissafoll length of asserting
that this was a correlt !loose, from which no good
cos
_Aid be expected.—[Order, order !]—Misisters hid
swages to do bat to season their troops, sod they
had a majority instantly at their command ; it wash'
fact a joke upon the country, sad the People felt it to
be so from one end of the kingdom to the other.
He halted that the day was not far cheroot when
trienaial Parlisements would be established, for Mi.
Dime's wonid net have dared to have proposed these
taxes last year. As the time approached when Mem.
bets were to meet their Coastiteeets, they behind a
great deal better. In the first year they cared very
little about their Constituents. Reform 1. Parlia.
meet wag the eel, tree remedy for most of the pre.
sent grievances.
Mr. GOOCH explained.
Lord MILTON begged to know, as the 11...
Member would vote against the Malt Tax for the be.
leek of lb. agricoltural Interest, whether he would
not also rote against the Spirit Tax ?--(No, oscs!)—
Well, If be only resisted the Malt Tea, he opposed
what would raise 1,300,0001. oat of the 3,0110,0001:
for which he bad voted en the former night ; le fact,
it oppeered that the Hon. Gout. bad one sots for the
Chancellor of the Exchequer, and somber for bin
constituents.

M►. GOOCII interposed, and observed, as well
lia we could collect, that the Nobie herd had no
right to impute motives to his by which ha was not
actuated.
