We have obeervad in our Papers of a few days hack, that the Ministers were in the greatest dilemma what to do respecting financial metiers, slue. their confessing that a loom would be required, after all the boasting, and "sowings of thegrowieg protperit) of the trade of the uation, and the accovoulating en. crease on the import', import., &c. would seem not only • mockery on the feelings and credulity of the People of England. hut also giving the lie direct to more thin one of their loud-toupee(' oracles, which daily posted out their sneers upon the croakers (not Comities) whose predictions they attempted to or contemn. Our Readers gill be pinkie() to remem ber how mach ue have for some time laboured to en. deceive the Public with ►etpect to the artifice endea voured to be played off. by way of giving a temporary hut false credit to the measures of a set of the most extravagant and inconsistent men that ever look the affairs of even a pelt, independency in hand. They u•e the Jnurn•ls w• allude to as mechanist, wash! use dean-engines (only not on such ra tional grounds) to force sip • nionteotary reps. 'They seem now to *list upon • daily wino of food (flattery), • kind of chandler's-shop supply of praise : out so, however, in their charge to the nation for their good government. Here, in deed the ripenee is prodigious, monstrous! sot less thin 67,707,0881.! ! ! more than will be consumed in Americo, though its Government extends ever fifteen titers more soil, probably for the nest 20 yea,,—e Government too, which is growing sue pritingly, and might reasonably therefore be imp prised to stand in reed of more nutriment. Why the very •dmisistration of seventy millions ever a small realm like ours, the very counting •et sad entering such a mass of money, world first blacken the ►ands, and afterwards taint the "dads of soy number of Aerlitori, Tellers, Control lers, Registrars, be. with whatever virtue they weight enter into office : is short, without some thing be immediately done to lessen the .spendi. tare, and economise the application of an over. strained revenue, the very pilen generated by se powerful an inleence which Tre•terera sod Chan. cellors derive from their situation', would of itself subvert the State,whatever be the justness and solidity of its first institution". After all, then, that has been set forth in the vain-glorioes effrontery of the Carrier, the following notice was made publicyesterdey at t►e Stock Esebunge, at two o'Clock la lion. .• Lord Lllff lIPOOL a.d the CNAIril.l.Olll of the Excreter's request the Governor and Deputy Governer of the Beek •f England will bre the padres to came it to he wiled at the Stock Eschewer. in the real manner. that It is their latesnien to propre, that the Esettequer Bill. upon the Aid. red Sup plies. and whit* have net been advertised to be paid el; shell he received at a premium of Mi. per rest.. on payment of the isfflabeeats of as; loon which may be ceetraerd for in the pre tent 3 ear. lea proportion Pot esceedieg X 3 per cent. as err eviolaret. Tile premium and lettere ea web Exchequer Bill will be paid ie erb at the time it is presered." The very wording of ibis Hyssop has a most to traorilinary and forbiddiug aspect ; for, after all, it is not a positive declaration that a loan will be resorted to, and yet what other means can be adopted ? Ac commodation or 'spore with the Bask is most cer tainly in the tonlespialinn of the head which dictated this Message to the Stock I:stbenge. Why most there be all this in)slet) ? Hammy Out is frank. mu) is the best pf,licy io public, as tulles in private p deolinia, most certainly if among honest men. The • autbigsoin paper speaks of the manner of making up the loan without Making the amount or declaring the I obsolete waist of ir. If this a la rm i n g reserve I n I Ministers dors not occasion others to speak est who have hitherto been silent on tech occasions, such in. r &teams will be dawn from the dark proceedings so will five the ones ahn govern us double the enessi- E nest they are so sidolowsly - endeavouring to avoid. Government, by the paper in question, proposes (a loan being enderalood to he set on foot) that • certain number of Ezekiel's,' Bills in the hands of capitalists, or now in circulation, should be received as part of the money subscribed, provided they do not eons/its', men than ono fourth of the sum sel• wafted be the c00t...n0r.: and by way of u bones, for sock it is to • certain degree, gives the subscriber a preifiisni on them 'of one per cent. Another con. clitio•, which k scarcely to be ezplained span the ordinary way of Government transacting this kind of , business with the Public, it, that it will pay both the I interest due on the Exchequer Bills in question, toge. 'her with the premium, up to Ole moment of contract, in cork. This has indeed • singular •ppearance, and lets out • sciutillstion of belief that tech a portion a. will brined lies idle, and will now be turned to • little ,finilering accosni: Ala.! are the affairs of this great nation to b. thus complezedly exhibited to ths snakes view of • People ground down to atoms by the financial machinery of Chtn• .llors of the Eschew' and First Lords of theTressuoy? for both these high office.— is! named in this - recent transaction, perhaps, because !

As Om Cu* ucti.t.on of the Excnret!Elt had rig oifird some time ago, that there would be no oc casion to borrow or fond, which naturally raised the Stocks, it is not to be wondered •t, that the 1101. picion raised since the declaration that recourse ma .t be had to one of these mean., it is not to be wondered at shot the Stocks should fill : indeed, evecy man in the least acquainted with the concerns of the country meet have felt convinced that what the Courier, and other Ministerial Papers said from day to thy could not be true. It was therefore nett to a certainty, thee what has now wafnltled itself moat have comesoo rrrrr later ; it being acknowledged on a:I bands that an issue of Pacheco', Mills, to the amount of the sum required, would be attended with greater evils than the present espedient. It behove' es in candour le notice, that in the C 7 trillions and upwards, of money expended within the jest, the IS miilinne appropriated to the reduc tion of the National Debt are Included ; bet, after ell, the balancin the account most be a fatal disappoint. mint to ell these whn pinned their faith no the state. events is the Corrier and Co.
