LONDO N.
Speech of Mr. Burke in the House of
Commons, February Bth, 1780.
AS Lord North knows that in all our
t r ansactions as well civil as military
the conduct of our enemies ought to be an
example for us, he must have turned his
eyes to the continent, and observed that
the French have made such arrangements
in their finances as will enable them to
continue the war with much more proba
bility of success than we dare to promise
ourfeivcs. We are already exhausted by
extravagant expences, and distressed with
enormous taxes; and although the friends
of government agree, yet notwithstanding
we have made so many efforts, if we will
ed at this moment to make peace, we
could not procure it but on terms th' 'moft
difgraceful. In the coufe of two years
more, our situation must become much
more deplorable. While we lavish our
treasures, our enemies exercise the ftri&eft
Economy in their expenditures. Since
the beginning of the war, their extraordi
naries have not exceeded eight millions
sterling per year. They have lately bor
rowed about 2,566,000 livres; they have
nevertheless not established one Ihilling of
a permanent debt^ they have not added a
single duty to those of the peace establish
ment; they have established no new funds
for the payment of those extraordinaries.
The interest is paid with the money saved
by teconomy. There has been a general
reform through Fr%nce---in the royal pa
lace---in the queen's household---and in
the amusements of the royal family. By
means of this reduction of expences, the
Director General of the finances has saved
a revenue adequate to the payment of the
inteteft of the loan, and the total of the
extraordinaries: The savings have produ
ced 950,600 livres per year. A-11 this has
been effected without the least appearance
of arbitrary power. The value of their
coin has not been raifed^ their property
has not been reduced; There has not been
the bast reducing of the capital of the na
tional debt, nor any delays in the payment
of the interest of the national debt. On
the contrary, every thing done, tends to
establish mbit solidly the public Credit,
and to endear to the nation forever the
Minister who projefU the measures, and
the Sovereign who adopts them. In short
ho one's property has been invaded, al
though the government has exerted the
seated efforts to faife finds for continu
ing the war; The King of France, hkea
real father of his people, thought it his du
ty rather to retrench the eXpemces of his
house-hold; than to take any thing from
his fubjeds; And although lie is now my
enemy, 1 cannot refrain my acknowledg
ment, that this young Prince merits the
