In a late paper, w-* laid before our rea.
dtr a state Trent of the fiscal affair of
G-rat Britain for 'he present year, iftade
hy 'he Chancellor of the Ffcchequer. Ib
this statement here is much boasting ofthe
prosperous situtation of he.n&tion. it may
we!! be doubted, whether that people can
be called prosperous, whose annual bur
thens, beside those of a permanent nature,
amount to fifty-two millions of pounds ster.
hngj or about two hundred and forty two
miU'ons of dollars, averaging a tax of more
than s-x'een doPsrs on every man, woman
and child in the kingdom. If these be the
b'e -sings of war, we envy not G. B fr.rber
s'tempt, however unp'incipledt to mono.

But, independently ofthis cnnttdeha ’on,
there are tome interesting views, which
ought m be pres n ed, to form a correal
estimate of her real condit on.
The most obvious is. that; no-withstand,
ing her vaunted re-ou ces, she is compell
ed to borrow twflvs millions sterling, or
about fifty s x millions of dollars to be
en'ailed upon her probably us a permanent
burthen; incurred too, at a period when
she monoplises nearly the whole trade o*
the worlds and when the m nes of Ameri
ca are worked almost entirely for her be.
