being a difference of betwen 8 and
. ^OppJbQO, ft favour of fait year. The exports

somewhat less than the amount of foreign exports in
180$. w£»cb’wia ^19,1^7,000. Bat it was too*)
satjatactory to observe that though the exports offer
reign goods bad, decreased, the export of British
manufactures had risen in a greater proportion, and
tbfrt there was & greater increase upo.o the whole of
j£4,l 80,000, the amount of all the'fexporis having
Leepjast year ,£50,300,000, whereas in 1602, they
amounted fo hut £±6,1120,000. Upon an average
o'jtha two last years compared with the average of
J?02, and the preceding year, the advantage was
£3,168,300, in favour uf these two years of war
over two years of peace. But if the advantage had
even not been so much in favour i>f lust year, the
average would show, that the country was not sta
tionary, lut progressive in prosperity. In York
shire alone the .manufacture of cloth had increased
in the last year to the extent of one million five
hundred thousand yurds. But was not the growing
prosperity of the country obvious in the gieut pub
hrk works which were nnrlert ken throughout the
Country—the great canals and extensive dorks
which were on all sides establishing ? The progress
oT such undertakings, with us much spirit, activity,
nod enterprise, as in a time of the most’profound
amt prosperous peace, wrs a certain indication of
tb» flourishing condition of ouf trade, manufactures,
and commerce. j
Mr. Hyskisson did not know whether his right
hon. friend, in his very able statement, alluded to
fcim as one of those wiio thought iht country in a
fa'iimp i ondition. If he did, it was a mistake/ be
came he had neither thought nor said any su< h
thing. He thought the erinntiy was in a state of
pnigiessive iiupiovemetyl, which, in a country
wb«re propcitv •.van so well protected could only he
slopped by teme ■uivelsinn. \\ hat he had skid
eras, that it would te dAficoft to find new taxes,
Which would not tie extremely objectioiiable-— that j
Hiere was -i limit to taxation—and that ne hud |
nparly reached thet limit. He had 1.-ard nothing
from bis right ben. friend in contradiction to what
he (Mr. Hnskisson) had st itcd cn a former occasion ;
■and he really wished that something positive could
he got from lus right hon. (iiend upon this subject.
11* wished to know whether he though; it possible,
foj any great number of years, to continue adding
from a million to j£.l .200.000, every year to the
public k burthens ? Whether he thought this would
ibf&eient on the present plan, even if it could he
procured ? -and, whether he hoped that the war
•.mid he continued in jbis way? When the .minis
ters had made op tbeir munis to advise his majesty
to promise that the accounts would be made up will,
a rigid attention u» economy, he had expected liui
ft considerable reduc tion was to have taken place.—
lla_thoiij;ht that i eduction had hern intended to be
made in some of the. larger establishments. He did
not say that any very great dimunitior, could be
made ; but he thought a reduction of some millions
miiibl te cliccted without injury to the rountrv.—
Ho then adverted to the arguments which had been
used by one of the lords ol the admiralty (Mr.
Way.')} for keeping up the number of se.nnen to that
of 145,000 nun. It had been said lint it-wee de
sirable to have a na\y, not only suilirient to rppe
with the whole world at sea, hut also « lousidtrirblc
reserve. To t^ie general proposition, that it was de
sirable, he would assent : but then he must hahinre
the adv.inti ges and disadvantages. Before lliefmt
llu of Trafalgar the enemy had large fleets, and the
number of out seamen did uot exceed 1*0,000 at
that time. He deprecated any thing like despond
epry as to our resources, but at the same time urg- ;
ed the propriety anu necessity of husbanding them
as much as possible.
Mr. Rose concurred ill'the wish of his lion, friend
who spoke last, that every practicable retrench- \
tnesit should be adopted, and that opinion he had
olteadyt communicated out of doors. lie felt strong
ly, that bis right hon. friend (the .chancellor of the
exchequer) would present himself before the house
^ext sessions with a very bad grace, if he did not
pro vs that the Utmost attention hud been paid to
eropopiy in the puidick expenditure. But to what
•ntniiiit the wished fob reduction of that expenditure
would extend he thought il impossible at present to
calculate. There Was happily, howt ver, no reason
„ t<* entertain any glodnM apprehension, Mow the
resources of the youfttry had been so prosperous as
the state-ment of his fight hon. friend displayed, he
declarer)! himself unable IitJkcount. But somehow
.it. appeared, that from the industry and ingenuity
pf
iur“ merchants, every prohibitory measure of
Buonaparte’s hnd utterly fdiln} of their object. In
faet, instead of limiting our trade, it had ralher ex
tended in spite of the hostile proceedings of the ene
my.
Mr. Tierney thought it necessary that some in
quiry should be instituted as to the cause of the pre
sent state pf our resources, in order to ascertain
whether that cause tor.s hfsefy to be permanent, or
merely of a tempera I nature.
Aftrr spun* (aril er observations from Mr. Hns
klsann, Sir Thomas Turton and Mr. Ruse, the reso
lutions were read and agreed to, and the report, the
house huvipg resumed, Was ordered to be received

Kent from it Kingdom.
His excellency Don Ntt'elns .\l«hy, on the 13th
of April, ordered the \appard, or.dtr the direction
of Brigadier Don Jose diflcnrses, to advance for
the purpose ot reconnoitring more closely the po
sition of the enemy, whoias besieging Astorga.—
C)u the same day the troos quitted their positions,
and lay that night at Ren and its vicinity. On
the 14th, they advancedls far »« Foncrbadon, and
the light troops to Rahiirl, La MaUrenga and An
dinuela. The Marine S|irp Shooters drove back
a party of French who rre in amhuscede. On
the 15tli, they were attaked hy 200 horsemen and
some infantry of the enay, whose fire they sus
tained with gallantry, Casing them some loss ; bat
apprehensive 6f the spjeach of stiperioar lorces
they .retired.
The roads were rendete impassihU by the show,
especially for the Htlilli-f: wherefore ou the same
day general MenrseS seied to Riego, and Irom
thence to bis torm»r posion, in order to procure
clothing. The fifth com|hy of Rit-.i-rn, with ano
ther of the marine, had akirinish with the enemy
at Fonfria and Uisorrrrta The ^counting parties
from Rii.ero on that daytegaled tl tmselvcs with
the Frenchmen’s provision,- ahd afterwards set fire
to their huts.
In the kingdom of Jitefia great many Companies
have tieeh formed, andhnriss theenemy very much.
Some of them hade irtvrpted many waggon loads
of plate and hrandy, and verai droves of cattle.
The French in Catalontdeserl in such numbers,
that scarcely a day pusseiint from 60 to 100 ol
them join our lorces, andieb of them is immedi
ately rewarded with 200 rfls <i( Vclloh.
The defenders o! CradaRodrigo, resolving not
(o he inferior in glory to (e heroes of Saragossa
and Gerona, are anxious «ly for opportunities of
testifying their patr intism^cd accomplishing their
wishes of exterminating tj French legions. In the
sallies they made on the SIh April and the 1st in
stant, against the forces t|t appeared before that
place, they succeeded in dring them from before
their walls, Mid the Vos* o| 80 killed and wounded,
taking at the same time sae prisoners and many
articles. It is very probalf that io consequence of
the movement of (he Ann-Ln-itano army, the
modern Vandals have feliraishsd the idea of laying
siege in form to' Ciudad Ip/ign j and that those
have retired, us it is report), with precipitation 2
days after their entry intojstorga on the ?2d oil.
It is added that the garrredof that place, succeed
ed in effecting its escape'.

have it clearly uiidtrsti.od, that nothing con in-lorC

ministers, who have so Mindly and iprrWr. etfy

1 hey are the persons who have not only at one
lime unnecessarily stretched the power of parlia

at another lime, by their imberility and indecision,•
produced the opposite extreme of reprehensible te
laxallon. They hrfve, by their measures, produced
that ferment which now agitates the ptiblick mind,
and h tve given to many mistaken individuals an
opportunity of disputing even the existence of the

According to every in format i on I have derived—
according to ill which 1 ever read, or was taught,
respecting the constitution—according to the most
competent and eminent authorities i have ever cob*
suited or have known—the power and privilege of
pailiamenl have been invariably admitted. For a
moderate and judicious exercise of that power, I
shall always be ad advocate. Considering, as i dd,
the critical situation of the country, it was not an
easy matter for me and others to discharge what
we may term our defy on this occasion. But 1
wish the publirk to have this opportunity of learn

made the objects uf misrepresentation. 1 have tho't
it incumbent thus to address ybur lordship, and
to signify that the limes Cal! upon (is to trace the
calamities which threaten the nation, to their

For this purpose, my Inids,-1 now give notice, that
