the gradual redemption of the sunded debt

acted upon on the first of Janﬂary, 1776,

One million of potmds sterling from the

On the first of August, 1810ss, the amount

was 211 millicms of pounds. At the clos'e

by the continuance of wars the debt should
so encrense as to admit of it, there will be
