The hayinglfoilse i•-esOlv;;I itself into isCOillinittee of Ways and 31eaus, the CoIANCIII.I.IIII of the Exert nouen brought forward that ..general statement ut . • finances, which is generally termed the Budget. He said, the decision of the House respecting the property-tax 118.1 111.1;1Tiall) altered his views. His opinion on that questioti was unaltered --lint, bowing to the sense of the House, lie trusted it would be sect that lie had resorted to the next bed mem"s for nievtior the supply of the year.

By the arrangement of engaging to recede the s. instead of pressint them for -specie, on the resumption of cash paystienet the honour and , credit of the L:onipany would tie increased. As to the aim .mentation of the C pauy's capital, that he thought was au advantage to the comitty; and as to their profits, no one would question their right to them, or to divide them. The 'only question eolith! 1112 as to the 11181111t.r. 1.0311 from the Hank of 3,000,ii0411. would ise still be further advantageous ' in .being obtained without any pressure 0.1 the money market. He would now go into some detail of the suits voted amid •wanted for the service 01' the year, and the Ways and Means of 'fleeting such supply. For the Army, there would be wanted '9,16;,0001.; bet deducting tier troops in France, this country -would only be called upon to pay 6,331,0001. Extraordinaries and Commissariat 2.ta3,410tii. The whole for the Army 111,5111,0001. The easy 10,161,0c01. and the Ordnance 11,n86,0001. For the Miscellames, hr eland(' require 2,400,04101.

There were sonic additional elsirges. 4)n account of the Loyalty Leau 917,0001.; besides there *would be au expense respecting it new silver coinage. It was •iittficult to fix upon any sum, from the want of information; but , he had estimated the probable expellee at 5011,0001. The ovhole supply amounted to about 50,425,0001. deducting the ;Irish proportion, which was 3,14 the amount fur Eng amid was about 27,V79,0001. The next division of his state- latent was the Ways and Means. The ordinary Annual Taxes were estimated at 3,0aa,0001. and the surplus of the Contoli dated Fund '3,003,0001.

These Ways aml Means met the sums required for the service -of the year within 2,500,0001.; and in preference to resorting to any other 'newts fir the two millioos and a h ill deficiency, he .proposed to raise that .be a small plessnre ripen the monev-inaisket, but it would be 'the only pressui e. It might be asd , cd, how he had made tip :that ailment which lie had lust by the abandonment of the Property Tax and the War Malt Tax, on which, in the early part of the Session, lie had calculated fur eight millions and a half. He thus proposed to meet the deficiency occasioned by the a b iiii d omfige r o f those 18:SCS ; to raise by Exchequer Bills •-2,10u.0.1t:1. The surplus of the unappropriated graces of List sear pi induced liiui about the sum of 20:63,0001 more than he had ca.cirlated upon in the early part of the Session. (Moe.) At that period, he estimated the amount of unapprepraited grants at 4,000,0001. ; lie had since, very fortunately, ,aiseavered -that the amount was 5,663,0001. I Hear, hear, and n laugh.)•— Stich discovery, ACCol(lingly, gave him 2,603,00.11. that he had nut calculated upon, the advance from the Hank at 3 per stout.' was 3.000,90,11.; the unappropriated small sums in the Ex •ehequer auiumileill 440,0001.; the unclaimed dividends 301,0001.

The .tight Hon. liendematt said, that it had never before ne eo, red, that in one year after the proclamation of peace a rt tioa hid taken place in the public debt. it was the •pron,t digniehon the . present period, that it afforded a pre eerlent of lilE/ nature.

He trusted, that the application ot• the produce of the sinkitiz fond, nailer such circa ustanees of difficulty as those by which Ireland was marked, would out be considered nitwit isable; and be assured the House that it was a ease of extremity that caused it.. • Mr. PONSONNT said, he did net rise for the purpose of cx aminiug the particular items in what had been stated to the House, although the comparative state of our revenue and our expenditure was to him a very melancholy subject for einiti•in. photon, He ruse to cone ratidate the House upon the extra ordinary testimony borne by the Right Hon. Gentleman ' opposite ia favour of the propriety of abolishing the Property Tax. He had beciftelling the House all along,that, instead of ruin, prosperity had resulted fruni the destruction of Busk favorite, and that the natiimal vigour and prosperity, instead of de clining, was more tirmly established by the opposition sviiielt hail been so {iroudly persisted ill by the country. The consequence they bad been just observing was, that Gros eminent were able to raise as much money as they w.mted, and iu tlie 'winner they liked best. It was an odd way to prove the excellence of any measure of the state, try showing that the loss of it was an advantage to the community. He could not help deelarhig his admiration of that gland pc rseverance w hich oppo s ed, until it received the very sanction of its enemies. But the contest proved something betides that he had mentioned : the lieut. of England hail stews its abilities to lend to the public nine mil lions of money ; which argued down all the fears and emijeatures that had gone abroad upon the subject of all application to tbat quaricr. It was a proof of the solidity of tins country, and evinced in the strongest manner possible, that the Batik of Eng land, instead of being shaken, Was II:I:IC.1SO ill credit and capital. Lord A. HA MILTON condemned the negociation and the whole transaction with the Book ; contended, that Ministers had made a nue; t improvident bargain for the Politic. Mr. Bxelso defended the Bank, and repeated the arguments used by him on former ()evasions. With respect to the state ment attic Chancellor of the Exchequer, it had not given him the satisfaction which it appeared to have gis co to smite Gen- Omni. The Right Hon. Geuttemau liail acknowledged an ex penilii are ; Whilta all the perinauent revenue winch be had proposed to meet that expenditure was about 9,700,0001. all the remainder was to be raised in various ways, by borrow ing, ...cc. and from waives which next year might and would probably fail. • Mr. TiEns EY opposed the Finance plans of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, 11l an elaborate speech. Mr. lilt FELL maintained his former opinion, that the Bank should advance its Loan to Government without any interest wha tev e r. The residatious were agreed to ; and ordered to be reported to-mor . Ti ESDAY, M,►v 28. On the mann of Mr. CUR WEN, a Select Committee was appeiuted to inquire into the present slate of the Poor Laws. He colleted into a detail of his plan ; the principM feature of which was, to make the labosweis themselves, as well as the rest of the community, subscribe to a National Hank, to be established in each parish, for the benefit of the poor.

Mr. Ilssisignst.rs , brinielit forward his motion , respecting the large sums due from Austria to this countr.-, on account of the loan made in 117 , J.i. The loon took place, on power being given to sue the Emperor in his own Courts on default of pay ment. The lir,t amount was X 1,609,0 .10, the second X:1,670,000, the whole stivek, &e. amounted to al tA' 14,itan,000. Since that period no communication had Lech made to Parliament. Was the country to continue to pay The interest of midi loan It was the debt of the Emperor; and who ought to pay the interest? At all events ought the House to remain without information? If the Court of Vienna had been induced to act under the impression that the debt would be abandoned, he w•euld not contend tOr the violation of engagements—but sure ly some Account of the state of the debt ought to Le mode. lint if it were to be a question of generosity, tile sum could not be abandoned on light grounds. The interest was £610,000 an nually ; and to be relieved from that sum would be most advan tageous. Sore arrangement ought to be proposed, to liquidate the amount by degrees, or other%i e. Whether the minim' slay received or not, lie trusted at the end of 21 years the Omit of Vienna would not remain willing debtors to nnwilling creditors. Re concluded with moving an Address to the Prince Regent, to take into consideration the Austrian I.4an, and praying that a ncgociation might be opened on the subject. Lord CasTL ER VAG H said, this was not an opportune moment tbr opening any such negueiations. After some further totoiservations, time motion was with drawn. TIIIII(911A V, M V 30.. Sir If.

He stated, that from the year 1717. there had been a coinage of silver only of 40,0001; and during the reign of his present Majesty, but n 1,11031. Gold was declared the standard of value by an Act of Parliament, 1774 ; but when that law expired, it was recommended by Lord Liverpool, that the coinage of silver should he prohibited : and in 1709 a sta tute was passed. which. in the first place made gold legal tender, and in the second prohibited the coinage of silver. It was estimated in 180.1, that at least 2.1 millions in gold were in the country . ; and it was a known fact that 00 millions bad been issued from the Mint in the present reign. What part of this large sum yet remained within saw shores, God only Urns. ! In 1095, with a velocity at that time wonderful, :10 *millions of pieces were issued in eleven months; (Mr. I'.) hoped, that with the present improved machinery, no 'Milieus of pieces could be delivered out of the Mint in seven months. 35 milliuus consisting of shillings, and 25 millions of sixpences. —During the seven months that wenild be required far stamping, regulations would be made, by which Govern ment would lodge iu all the principal towns of the kingdom a sum Ol UM money equal to the supposed circulation of the district and on the very day after the seven months bad ex pired (allowing that that would be the period neee.sary), pro clamations would be issued, appointing a limited time for the bringing in of She old money and the issue of the new. By this method the whole circulation might be changed in a few days. After a few observations from Mr. BARING and Mr. GR EN. Feet. in which the great hardships which the poorer classes would hutier by not allowing full value fur the base enrrency in circulation, was alluded to by the latter Gentleman, a reply to the Prince Regent's Message WAS 1111allI111011SIT voted. Mr. W. SMITE brought forward his promised motion ;. with the view of restraining the gross abuses which have of late prevailed in the issue of extents in aid front the Court of Ex chequer. The Hon. Gentleman, in the course of stiong and able speech, related a number of cases ( which we rage our limits preclude us from giving at full), where tarmacs of the Post Horse Duty, distributors of stamps, paper makers, re ceive rs of taxes, and others, had obtained extents aguint ; v. hich were granted, without Shore briny the slightest ground to assert that the revenue of the Crown was in danger. They were in fact applied for, to enable those individuals to collect their own private debts, by coming in betiwe all other creditors. The too following were. among the cases related by Mr. Western ntleman whom he knew applied fur -a extent, and was tollithat the form of it was, that by the danger of his proporty in the hands of his creditor he was less able to pay the King's taxes. The gentleman, conscious that he w:;s quite able to pay, rather demurred, and said he should prefer the words. " might be less nhle to pay." The turns was in stoutly altered according to his wish, and the extent was grant ed! A person who was called a country gentleman, not long ago applied to a respectable solicitor of his acquaintance, 6/1- in. , that he wanted to be made a collector of the King's taxes. The solicitor inquired what possible object he could have iu obtaining sorb au appointment.--" Oh!" replied the other," I shall then be able to get extents in aid, and collect all my own debts."—Mr. Smith concluded by moving that Committee be appointed to examine into the mode of issuing extents in Mil at the Exchequer, together with the abuses attend:ng it, and to• report thereon to the House. The Solicitor General, Lord Castlereagh, and others, opposed the motion for the Committee as unneecsary ; the law °dims having taken proper steps to prevent sash abuses in future. The CUANCILIAIR of the Exen Fast rat stated to the !louse, that the Treasury had given directions that no persons Eon. corned, either directly or indirectly, in csuntry banks, should be allowe I to act in the collection of the revenue. A division took place on Mr. Sitirth's motion--For it :id; against it, 05—majority against it, 9.,-Atuarned at half past one. FRIDAY, MAY 31.
