Befide the new taxes to meet the inte- 
reft of the loan, the property tax is pro- 
pofed to be raifed one-fourth, or three- 
pence in a fhilling, in order to keep down, 
as much as poffible, the national debt. 
The Cine of the Exchequer, in 
making the above propofitions to the 
Houle, fiated that it was probable that 
Government would haveto apply to parlia- 
ment for leave to ule five millions of the 
fupplies, as fubfidies to thofe powers on 
the Continent alluded to in his Majefly’s 
fpeech. 
The number of men voted by the 
Houfe of Commons, for guards and gar-, 
rifons, for Great Britain and Ireland, and

4,645,000]. 
A Bill for continuing the fefpenfion of 
the Habeas Corpus Aé in Ireland, which 
was brought into Parliament by Minif- 
ters, created aconfiderable debate before

of Lords, by the Earlof Durnley, for re- 
pealing the Aét for raifing a permanent ad- 
ditional force, was loft, after a very ani- 
mated debate. By returns laid before the 
Houfe of Commons, it appears, that the 
total number of men raifed in the United 
Kingdom, under the provifions of a 
A&, is only 2743. Of thefe 2213 we 
procured by path oles and 530 by a 
recruiting officers of the army; 62 of ae 
whole number have been di'charged, two 
have died, and 361 have deferted ; fe

tempts to abolith the flave trade. On his 
motion, in the Houfe cf Commons, Jeaye - 
was given to bring ia a Billto that effect.
