discrepance of political . situation has introduced, modified, and made necessary, laws of this nature ; they are submitted to by the public. in the same spirit that moved their crentiou; for, as precau tionary legislation is the humanest slid wisest effort of the intellect, so the respectable classes of society. eleirly apprehending how that the temporary dimi nishment of their privileges eventually produces a henefit, yielded unshaken allegiance, gratitude. :old respect, to the devisers and supporters of such measures. •• By comparing the present facilities for removing on , persona and properties into foreign countries, aioi those of any former age. it will appear, that fire legislating for a country so singularly si tuated, as to admit of no parallel. Lights shine on you in records of the most extraordinary talent, and yet the manifest advantages of experience, do not teach you Tsai to meet the exigencies of a state, which, Menlo, with peace and plenty too, presents the extraordinary anomaly of want and its dire at. tendants. " Such inducements for Englishmen to avail themselves of the facilities offered for the removal of their persons and properties into foreign coun tries, never were before held out. Let us contem plate the known consequences of this migration. by reviewing the condition and classes of persons who are found availing themselves of it ; we shall then be prepared for inquiring how fa► it would be inconsistent with our notions of liberty, to place this removal of person and property under the di. rectioo of new statutory provisions. " It is en axiom of some persons, that when a man withdraw, himself from the state protec tion, it is not fair or reasonable to expect him to contribute towards those taxes raised for state exi gencies. To give efficacy and truth to this axiom, however, 1 take it to be necessary, that an entire disenion, us well of interest se of person, should hare taken place r or else a ruinous inequality is in troduced, in the easy evasion of assessed taxes by those persons most able to bear state impositions. " We are beginning to understand the sup,. riority of a tax on property, over almost every other system. It is decidedly the only method of coma pelting the absentee to contribute towards his coun try's burdens. 11'hen it is remembered that thou sands of opulent subjects of these realms are bask. ing in exotic luxuries, without paying a single shilling into the treasury of their mother country ; may trot a want of reaction, by the mutual ex change of money and commodity, produce a fatal stagnation ? " If the absentee were called on to contribute towards the liquidation of • debt, by the contract ing of which he had not derived en equal benefit with the actual inhabitants of our island; if he were not represented in the Commune House of Parlia ment, upon the same footing as we the residents are ; if the public credit and pruner'' , had not been involved, to protect his home and our home, against his foe nod our foe ; if one could not look retro.. spectively at the existing national load, then indeed would it be unjust to require the assistance of sub jects, who, sharing no present protection, ought not to be expected to participate in paying the ne cessary expenditure for securing it to others. On this point, it tan hardly be necessary to enlarge ; fersurely no one can so coufound the difference be tween right and wrong, as to maintain the injustice of bringing into charge the property of übsentees, merely because they are so ; when at the same time it must he apparent, that whether absent or pre sent, all chooses had an equal interest in the war, which trawl our national character and debt alto gether. Where then is the reasonableness of ex. emptieg altogether from taxation throe who, being poseeosed of property, screen it by expatriation or otherwi.e, leeettig those who have not the 'dean huge of independence or fortune, to suotiliu the whole »tight ? " By lasing the property of the absentee he will at least feel an interest in the welfare of his cowry ; and although. with my Lord Byron, he may tersore n revolution front the acts of the governnient, by his pecuniary contribution. lie will do more to overt it than the being born an aristo crat, or poaseesierg property in its funds. Ever since the peace a residence on the Con tistat has been considered a desideratum of the highest importance: few persons having the pemer huee wanted the inclinatiort to visit France. Ilre siroes were thronged with Englishmen, impelled thither by a curiosity who h has ono hewn reiroproesl: itrusger inriti yes followed; educators' and the ne vesontes of life were found cheaper. Soon her towns were crowded by our coniserymeti, influenced from a variety of reasons; nor has she six years whirl] have elapsed produced the slightest change to the desire to visit or entirely reside there."
