House of Reprefenlatives. Friday, May 9. \_Mr. IV. Smith's Speech Concluded. It had been proposed that in lieu of these stamp duties, the duties of impost should be increased on all articles which now pay a iju ty of seven and a halt per cent ad valorunr, to ten per cent, befiedes the increased rates of duties pn the enumerated articles. It was not a little surprizing, he obfei ved, that gen tlemen who a few days a go preditkd an ap proaching war, whereby our existing reve nue ariiing from import would be almolt an nihilated, should now not only count Upon the continuance of that revenue, but should expect further aid from that source, or that those who are urging a suspension of com mercial intercourse should rely upon com merce altogether for revenue. He was de cidedly of opinion, that commerce wis al ready luflicienily burthened, and that it j would be as unjust as impolitic to add to • the burden. We ought not to rely upon the proposed duties on the enumerated ar ticles, which with the proposed incr afeof tonnage conffituted an item of neaf 400,000 dollars.—Tliis lie considered, under present circumstances, a very pre* carious resource. With refpedi to the other new sources of revenue, being un tried, they were uncertain ; the house poffefled 110 data by which any accurate ellimate could be made of their product; under all these circumllances, while on the one hand, the exiding revenues wouid fall short of those of former years, and the new revenues were either pretarious or uncertain as to their amount, and on the other hand ouf expences were necefia rily much increased, and were likely to be' Itill further increased, he was confident the house would be fenllble of the propri etv ncjat'vins'the motion. _ ' : would be some difficulty in can ymg the tax into execution ; but these difficulties were inseparable from the very nature of taxation, It required littie ingenuity to discover them, and to apply to them all the common place topics which were re sorted to on these occasions. But he thought that if the gentlemen would em ploy their ingenuity and inventive facul ties in discovering such revenues as would enable the government to face the pre sent exigencies, they would render mort' service to the country, than by embarras sing with objections, which were equally applicable to almost every species of irn polition. THEATRE. OBSERVER No. XVlt. Mr. Fen no, On Friday evening, Mr. Bates's night, the New-Theatre was filled with an unu sual number—a more brilliant and genteef audience has never attended. The Du enna was well performed—the parts have never been better call, and the several performers, never did themselves more juflice,in pretenlipns to nncommort merit. Mr. Bates has, perhaps, succeeded betted than any other Acior in the United States, in pleasing all descriptions of peo ple—may he continue to experience their favors, in such phudits, as his benefit af forded. Mr. Morris's benefit was on Monday evening ; and that truly d,eferving veteran, was notified in a very h6nofable, as well as beneficial manner—a good hotife, in point of numbers and refpe&ability, was never more gratified, by his performance, than by that in the character of Don Ma nual. This A£tor, has uniformly filled his parts with great iuftnefs, but he truly filled the character Don Manuel with pro digious strength and elegance. Cibber, who wrote the play, could not have pof feficd a thought, which Mr. Morris did not give its full exercise. His perform ance of the scene after his daughter's mar riage, when a mixture of extatic joy and paternal tenderness overcomes him, w«f
