As the principle. indeed, the great, leading, and charactelittic, feature .of the fh a. business w..ich I am called upon to submit to you this day, I shall state the amount of the nsitional debt, fuodeds and unfonJed, and the means which the country possesses to meet it ; hut, as I have al ready premised, 1 shall first state the amount of the public debt on the fiista - if Fe' vary. I Su4, compared with the amount on the Ist of February. 1905. The publit :wide.) debt was, 1::1 the Ist of February, 1804, 493,127,0601. ; amount of yearly interest for the same, 18,000,0701 The unfolded debt. at the same date, was 110,797,0001. end the amonnt . of yearly interest for the same, 6.39 - 44001, m .It•ng together an annual chat ge c f 24,039 4701. ' IT7 the course of the year 1806, a sum of 34 riplO,.n. was added to the N ttional Debt, carrying an ara.ual • charge of 1.467,0091 There was, besides, on ac count of Loyalty Loan, and other heads cf xreaces, 2,827.0001. usakmg in the whole, a sum of 36,827,0001. for the year 1803, from which, if you dedutl 12,679.0001. the Mount of the Nnionl Debt on the lit of January 1801 i, will be, 517,280,0f:01." He then proceeded to a minute detail of the Un funded Debt of 1805, amounting to 20,000,0001 and of that for 1806, making a total of 23 millions. being an addition of three millions. Havmg stated the tress of the Unfunded Debt fir 1805, he rest took a review of the revenue and expenditure of that year. The produce ofthepermanent taxes amonnted to 32,539,9711. and the interest to 495,6301. making a !Mil t.f 33,035,11011..; ti.e *hole charge ageism which was only 29,738,0001., leaving an excess of 3,177,5001. which we have a right to take, to the extent of that sum, in favour of the present year. He next proceeded to state the opera. ticu of the sicking fund, upon which he con sidered it unnecessary to pronounce an eulogium. 41 he were to venture any opinion upon it, he should say, that if it were not for this fund, the country would he at this moment charged with the foil amount, which it has paid of, exclusive of the sum necessary to create it ; and, therefore, inde pendent of all the considerations of honour and good faith, and other motives of that kind, which ought to induce us to cling to it, we have the farthu-r re commendation of its praßical and tried nudity.
