In the House Of Commons, on the
Sd. the Chanc ellor Of Exchequer pro-
posed his resolutions respecting the es-
tabli.hment Of a new sinking fund OF
S 900, OOo!. After long debate the
committee divided Oh motion OF Dir.
Hume's to altar the sum to 1000 600,
which was lost, and the resolutions
were adopted.
The editor Of the Courier Of the 4th
Of March, the latest paper by the CO.

have been airy hopes of dissipating the
dark cloud which has been 80 long sos-
PENDED over the Pjrenees, Threatening
Snein with new Oscillation, and with
fear of change perplexing every other
nation. the recent accounts from faf's
and Madrid have almost extinguished
those hopes. We see the dreadful note
and rreparation of var begun both in
France ard Spain-every sober mind
ed Epelishman, desiring the peace and
prosperity Of England, naturally asks
what have we to do with this fearful
tragedy? tits more in sorrow than in
amer that we view the tide Of popular
feeling running 30 much towards Spain
We are disposed as much as any other
to admire that sympathy which inter-
eat, itself in the cause Of the weaker.

BRITISH FINANCES.
In the House of Commons the Chan
celIor Of the Exchequer made a state.
ment of the finances of the country.
lie calculated that there would be a
surplus Of revenue in the ensuing year
of seven millions two hundred and for
ty four thousand pounds sterling. lie
proposed that five millions be apPro

debt, and that the taxes be reduced two

which was heard with the mlnu est at.
tention throus hout. general burst OF
applause PROCEEDED from every part If

where the clapp ng of hands was oaly
restrained by the interference OF the
offic ers.
NJ. Maberly read the resolutions he
intended to propose to the house, or
the abolition Of the sinking fluid, and
to apply the five millions to further
remission Of taxation. MIR. Ricarda
made few observations on the same
subject Mr.. Barring spoke in favor OF

the opposition eulogized the briliiance,
luminous arrangement and good feeling
which per.aced the speech of the Chan
cellor of the Exchequer. Lord Mil
TOE said, that he could not bat congra.
