J. ENoLANp.--The accounts fiom -Erg
0 land. snys the New York Gazette, are Q
d such character as.to excite much atten
8 lion in this country. The Ministry hn
y becn defeated in the house Of Commons
b by small majority, on motiopto reduc
J, the malt duty. The motion was brough
) forward on the Goth April, by Sir w
lngnoble, to reduce the duty from los Q,
o to 0s per quarter, and, after long debate
it was carried by majority often votes
This vote has placed ministers ia m awk
ward predicament, at least for the tim,
being but il was the general opinion, tina
il would not result int general dissolution
ofthe cabinet, although some few changer
might take place in consequence Of this
vote. Lord Althrop acknowledged that
the decision Of the house had placed the
government under circumstances Of great
embarrassment. He reiterated this senli-
nent ON the 29th, when he again called
the attention Of the house to thor vote on
the Goth. and remarked-"After looking
at the question with that attention which
it merted, his Msjesty's ministers felt that
it would be desirable to bring the question
of the reduction ofthe malt tax again un-
der the consideration ofthe house, in such
manner that the whole state of the case
should be brought fully and fairly before It
that every Hon. member might see
clearly all the consequences Of taking
such a step as that involved in tho resolu-
ton adopted on Friday last, and that they
should all come to decision upon the
subject with their eyes open to tlIe whole
object and effect Of such proceeding
Hear, hear,) 1t was obvious that the
sense of the house should be taken upon
the point Mt the earliest moment, and with
the least possible delay, and, for that pur-
pose, he now rose 10 give notice, that it
was his intention, upon tomorrow night,
to move, an amendmet upon the motion ofl
tho Hon. baronet, the member for the
city of London, for tho reduction ofthe
house and window tax, the following reso-l
luton, which he would now read, in order
to have it placed upon the votes, so that
gentlemen would have time to consider il
namely, "That great deficiency OF
revenue would be occasioned by the reduc-
ton Of the matto los per quarter, and by
the repeal Of the taxes on houses and win !
dows, which could only be supplied by the
81 ubstit~,ion of a gene iai A.s .Pon proper
ty (hear, hear) and that, as the effect of
il would be to change the whole financial
BY stem OF the country, it would, at present,
be expcdient to adopt it," Loud cries
OF hear.)
After warm debate, tho house pro-
ceded to the ordinary business. Our
cext advices from England will be Of
highly interesting character. A confr-
nation Of the vote on the Malt question
will upset the whole policy Of Ministers
and cause a complete alteration ia their
revenue plause. In consequence Of the
defeat Of the ministry, on the malt question,
Earl Grey had sent in his resignation-I
but the King graciously refused TO accept |
il. The resignation was doubtless all
shag.
We have seen letters from Liverpool,
which state it is highly probable that there |.
will be reduction on the assessed taxes.
A motion was also before the house to re-
duce the duty on cotton one hall, but the
general impression was, that it would not
prevail, in consequence Of the bringing
forward Ct the other questions Of reduc-
ion Of duties.
