SPANISH FINANCES. SPEECH OF COUNT TORRENO, AS CHAIRMAN OF THE ►INANCE COMMITTEE. FRONOUNCED IN THE CORTES, AT THE SITTING OF THE IST INSTANT. " The Finance Committee having examined the Memoir and Returns of the Minister of this Depart ment, now presents, for the deliberation of the Cortes, its opinion on a subject of such weight and import ante. From the moment it commenced its labours and proceeded therein, difficulties were experienced which thwarted the attainment of the object in view; and possibly the Members would have despaired, if their wish to correspond with the confidence reposed in them by the Cortes had not animated and sustained them throughout the whole of this arduous enter prise. Previous and most delicate qucs:ions have come under their deliberation ; long and painful de bates have ensued, in which the Committee has en deavoured to steer clear as well of the spirit of in terest and habit, which influence the conduct of some public functionaries in decisions on matters of this kind, as -the vague and impertinent clamours of others, who, under the right of being heard, raise themselves up into severe censurers of measuies which their own capacities cannot reach, or which, to speak of them, requires mature and careful exit• mination, which such persons were unable to perform. The Committee, in order to proceed with regularity in the essential points of the task imposed upon them, proposed to divide its labours into two parts, viz.- Ist, The Returns and Expenses of the respective De. partments of Government; and, 2dly, The means of coveting these Expenses.--In the first, taking eco nomy foi the basis and principle on which they %vete to act, they have endeavoured to reconcile the due execution of the public service with the greatest pos sible alleviation of the people. Superfluous and in consistent expenses have at once been struck off, and those which in their nature were necessary and indis pensable, have been curtailed. Pensions, at all times lavished, and more particularly within the last six years, to persons of little or no merit, have been sup pressed, and considerable reforms have been generally adopted in all the branches of the Administration. Nevertheless, the obstacles encountered at every step in the search of remedies for evils produced by the vicious administration of so many ages, and the un toward and ill-applied system of latter years, have prevented the Committee from carrying into effect, in the manner they could have wished, all the re forms which, in another state of things, they would have deemed advisable. The Cortes will, however, see, that in the branch of expiring sinecures, in pen- sions, as well as in the active part of the public ser vice, the savings proposed by the Committee are con siderable, and they cannot fail to approve the good wishes by which it has been actuated, when they exa mine and find, that from 660,000,000 of rials,.to which the total expenditure formerly amounted, it has now been reduced to 532,000,000,, a sum very considerable, if we consider the disorder that has of late reigned in the public administration, and the difficulty, not to say impossibility, which exists, of suddenly healing the deep wounds which have been inflicted.—This first part of their task being con cluded, the Committee proceeded to the other no less important and difficult one, viz. that of complying with the obligations of the State. The Committee will not here stop to examine what kind of contribu tions ought to be preferred ; no one of them is exempt from the radical vice of withdrawing the national riches from their natural channels, and if indirect taxes appear• less burdensome to the contributors, their administration is more expensive; but in direct ones this is again less, although their collection is in finitely more unpleasant. As long as Europe conti nues to keep up so large an armed force as that which already exists, nations cannot establish the plans of economy so devoutly to be wished; and Spain, in some measure compelled to follow the steps of other nations, will have to endure the same heavy burdens. The Committee, in order to render these more bearable, has examined with attention the must suitable means. Convinced, as the Committee is, that the sudden step of changing from one system of revenue to another different one, and not pre viously prepared, far from alleviating the people, has no other effect than that of burdening them afresh, and producing a considerable diminution in the revenue of the State; and fully persuaded also that precipitate reforms, generally, are not those which secure the felicity of the people, but such only as, established gradually and judiciously, keep up with public opinion, insensibly improve it, and finally convert it into a kind- of custom—such, I say, being the conviction of the Committee, on this principle it has made a difference in the system that is to be put in force this year, and the one that is to be adopted in the next. Before, however, manifesting its ideas on these points, the Committee wishes to premise, that the economical year ought to commence from July ; then the accounts are given in, and at the expiration of a month, after the termination of the sittings of the Cortes, which assemble in March, full time will be had for carrying into effect what the latter may determine upon. Hence the Committee will speak of the Finance System that is to be in force ftom July, 1820, to the Ist July, 1821, and under this supposition will proceed to lay before the Cortes, for their deliberations, certain bases, which being by them approved, will serve as a ground-work for the new system of revenue, which can be carefully orga n nized from this time to the opening of the Cortes, in March.—With regard to the system that is to go into operation from the present time till July next, the Committee is of opinion, that it ought to be no other than the existing one, with certain modifica tions indispensably necessary for the relief of the people. Such, for example, is a considerable decrease in the direct taxes, the use of stamps for bills Of ex change, &c. and an essential alteration in the revenue arising out of Crown-monopolies, adopting, at the same time, in union and concert with the Committee of Commerce, a complete reform in the Custom- ‘'E 1,.•• house Tariffs, regulated according to the principles acknowledged most just in these matters. The direct taxes which, with tolls, was calculated to amount to 301 millions of rials, will now be lowered to 152 millions, and of these 125 are to be assessed on the people, and the 27 remaining, on those cities having the right of tolls, this being only half of the 54 mil lions they formerly paid. The repartition is to be made as formerly, but the Committee will neverthe , less propose some improvements which are to be in , sensibly introduced, and will be rendered more per fect in the plan that is to be prepared for March.--.. By this variation and decrease in the direct taxes the people no doubt will be considerably relieved; but in this, and the deficiency which will still be expei rienced in ;he other branches of the revenue, a de ficit kill result, to cover which, a loan for this year is required of 200 millions rials.—This measure, which frightens many, either because they have not well considered it, or because they are not aware of the state of things, requires, on the part of the Com mittee, a short explanation, reserving to themselves the opportunity of giving a 'more minute and com plete one when the subject comes under the discus sion of the House.—To two means only do nations recur in order to cover their expenses, viz. taxes or loans. The first, more natural and simple in happy and prosperous times, may become extremely ruinous when a nation suddenly sees itself compelled to in crease its expenses, as in the case of a necessary war. The increase of 100 or 200 millions of taxes would at such a time cause the most grievous evils to the people; but not so the ten or fifteen millions of in terest, and the insensible reimbm scment of the capi tal, distributed on several years. In the first case, the excess of taxes affecting the capitals, will not only destroy the contributor for that year, but also, by retrenching his means, will decreaie their pro ceeds and the riches of the nation depending upon them, which does not take place in the case of a boar. —Spain, although not threatened with a war, is forced to recur to this extraordinary means. Her riches, instead of increasing, have diminished through past disasters and disorders, and it is impossible to lay more burthens on the people, if certain obstacles are not previously removed, and the plan of collect ing the tithes is modified ; but as this modification canrrot take place at present, and only in the cout,e of the next year, as the Committee will hereafter propose, the measure of the loan is now rendered in dispensable. Most assuredly, if this were to be re ' peated annually, it would become ruinous, as no doubt would be the case with all nations which are not in the same situation as England was during the period of the French Revolution, which, if it in creased her debt to a height never before contemplai ted, that is, to 1000 millions sterling (nearly 100,00© millions of rials), at the same time augmented her riches in a most astonishing manner. Fortunately Spain will not have to recur every year to the expe dient of loans, since, after the ensuing year, she will be able to cover her own obligations, as the Commit tee will undertake to shew. Another of the branches of public .revenue the Committee would have wished to vary or totally destroy, is that of monopolies; but the dread of a deficiency has withheld the resolution. In theory, no doubt, reasons can be alleged to prove the free dom of monopolised branches favourable to the pub lic revenue, but, unfortunately practice is at variance. In the year 1813 all monopolies were set aside, and the produce of these branches was almost nothing. France, after some years of freedom, has again esta blished the monopoly of tobacco, considering this as a most productive branch of revenue. Not for this reason is the Committee a partisan of mono, o ies but being of opinion that a mature examination ought to precede the change, their discussion ought to be left to the approaching meeting of the Legis lature, when the system of revenue is to be arranged in a fixed and permanent manner. In the meantime the Committee will content itself with proposing considerable reforms, and which may serve to intro duce the subsequent improvements to be proposed. In tobacco, the price is to be diminished according to classes, and Commissioners are to be named for the sale, who are to be paid so much per cent. The officers and guards stationed in -the interior for the purpose of preventing smuggling, shall be set aside, and .in the ultra-marine provinces absolute freedom shall be established. With regard to salt, all the provincial depots being supplied, the hoardings shall be taken away, and the consumer shall purchase what lie wants in the warehouses; the prices shall be low, and private manufacturers shall be allowed to export the produce of their salt-works. From all these reforms advantages to the revenue will result, and at the same time less injury to the consumers.— Neither has the Committee lost sight of the altera tions which are to take place in the administrative part, by presenting to the Cortes the plan for its es. tablishments, pointing out those which ara to remain, determining their duties, the number of persons em ployed they are to contain, and the salaries the latter are to enjoy. The Committee, in short, will speak in a more full and deliberate manner of all the parts of its plan, when the time of discussing each of them arrives. The finance system being thus established . I for this year, the Committee next proceed to present certain bases, which will serve as a kind of prelimi nary ground-work for the adoption of the fixed sys tem of revenue intended to operate next year. 44 After the indirect taxes which will then remain, either in the shape of general revenue, stamps, &c. or any other that may be established, the deficit will be covered by a direct contribution; distributed among'the three sources of public riches, agriculture, industry, and commerce. This distribution is to be made by collecting the best statistical data we pos sess, and those• which subsequently may be obtained by means of a new cadasi re that is to be made out.—.. But inorder to augment this contribution, more ran.. ticularly as regards agriculture, a modification in place. This hail c h arge tithes must lieeviouS// take BERWICK-UPON-TW RED.

MADAM Having experienced the blessed effects of your Syrup on two of my children, I beg you to insert the case of one, on whom it had the most ex traordinary effects. My child, who is two years and a half old, has been suffering under every species of debility ever since it was slit months old, owing to the extreme difficulty of cutting her teeth, so much so, that a total waste of flesh and distortion of the joints, rendered the child incapable of being moved without a pillow, at the same time having irons on her legs to prevent their getting more distorted ; when, directed by Paovinenz, I was recommendei to apply to you for the Syrup, which, after using two or three days, my child appeared to re ceive fresh life and strength, and however singular it may appear, after using only one B dale of Me Syrup, I was enabled to take the irons from her leg., and shortly after she became perfectly restored. Every enquiry as to the truth of the, above will be cheerfully answered, by your most obedient servant, No. 6, Crown-court, Pickett-street, F. SEAGER. Temple-lbr.—May 4, 1820.
