Whether such a r.- diction of taxes at a tisoe that the poli:ic debt was so great, indicated a in ise policy or otherwise, was a enestion out which lie would sot now enter, but the fact was stteh as lie had stated. The question of our finances wait one that ought to be looked to with anxiety, not only with it view to the ittiptort • meat of our revenue, but the reduction of our expenditure. He (Lord Liverpool) hoped that it would appear Irons the papers to be laid on the table, that no unimportant beginning had been made ill this great work. It would then be seen that the cuuntry was by no Ilie4lls its an uneatrafactoty condition regarding its finances. The liable Marquis had alluded to the ryeetWUls of our eollitirytneu, Arbuthnot and Ambrister ; and the nation was :Swine, from the public prints, of Ilse cunistatices in which that execution took place. Wheu the proper period at rived for discussing this subject, lie would cuter into the fullest explanations. At present lie felt the impropriety of producing detail* which could not he delibe. rattly examined. To quiet the minds of their Lordships, however, he did nut hesitate to state that the executiun tre , k plat e without the authority of the American Government ; that the act was done without their consent, lied even without the.r knowledge. The Earl of LAUDERDALE could net feel the extremesati*. faction proposed to be repressed in the Addreet, at the flourishing state of the country. There had not, in his opinion, been such pains taken to reduce our expenditote which :t was the day of .goyernment t• halm taken. We had now 31),000,000l. of taxes, without including those war lasseewhich had been rendered permanent. Huw was it possible to imagilie the continuance of high a load of taxation riming grace ? lo the course of tile American war additiosial taxes had been laid on to the amount 0f.5,00J,0401.; het so far were the otin4tea a or the pal Ilament of that time front con • eidering such an increase of the politic burdens as a matter of course, that the most rigid inquiries were institutcd be nom . illittece of the house into the necessity and-expedieney of such no increase.

He recollected also, that the noble lord opposite had then said, that the Bank Restrietion Arewutild expire on the sth ofJnly,and he held out es pectatietta to the house and to the countly that he was Bethany in making epee a promise.
