COTS, this • SON of peysarnts the followir g sums were raised
by Nieto vine: by loausouC oso!r, 19 501,0001.; be Beet ever
Binds, 977,7601. and by Eser.eque, 800, 6,1,00,0001., mak-
er, • out of 26 478,7501. The toothsome will observe t• at
the no n 7 bellowed was greater tun the excess of pep
mute by 2.642,0001 ; it is therefore my cute t mount for
this sum of 2,642,0001., In order toil ow that the Eactiequer
hos beeell'ed by the difference. Now, sir, the expleneins
Ii simple; if sny bon. gentleman will umpire the Recounts
presented, he will Moe the result shown in th difference ,0
the balances in the Becrequer. Tr e balenee in toe Bache-
quer on the 31st of March, 1856, was 5 600 0004; on lb-
31st of Meech, 1866, the Intones ea. 3,949,0004 ; but it
mast be observed, howewer, that this balance was subjoin in
effect to a deduction of 1.000,0001 on occount of oubtaot
log way. and means bills, advanced in anticipation of
t,.• noon.. of tne succeeding year, which Ware raid
off in 18 56-66; it is therefore nee. awry, in or . r to make
this comparison fair, to deduct that ewe of 1,000,0001. hum
the Nilotic. on the 31st of Mare., 1866, which !nett a sum
0(2,949,0001. as the real balance on test day ; soil it we
c 'moon that balence with the bounce o i the 31st of
March, 1856, we shall find the Increase In the balance on
the latter day is 2,661.0001. The sum I tad to account
for was 2,642,0001, a that the cosmitt. • will ohwtve there
is • balance in fa•our of the Bschaque r of 100,0094. tiejood
the sum which I tad to account f r out or the money
received OP account of the fund d and untsoded debt
Now, air, the expenditure of the year which has just elapsed
may be mainly cbaracterised—as I need scercely remind the
house—as a war expenditure. The espandituth oa accent
of the "harp fee the debt has bun eltritly isoreesed,
end the civil elogrinflr bee uod• rgone some
slight augmentation, tt to main luaus." in the ex-
penditure has been for purposes connected wi b the war.
I have, therefore, prepared a stetsmsnt which evil exhibit
es fairly sod distinctly es possible the exact exoenditore for
was purposes in the past end previous years. On • former
occasion is this melon I stated the expenditure fit purposes
of war, taking the mune* of it by the amount of the army
sad navy estimates; bat it was ejected that three esti-
mates did not show the elect state of the subject. They
did show the increased charge of the estabiisamente fur
militery purposes, and not the bureau of the chugs for
the debt, and were, therefore, not a perfectly fair itetemest
of the additional expenditure. I have, therefore, on this
°cession, adopted a different mode of co colatioo, which mast
include every additional septets.. The total sapeoditure
in the two years, 186445 and 1856-66, derisitting the SUM
of 1,000,0001 advaneed oo loan to Sardis* was 166,121,0004,
the total 'spindlier, for all public purposes bourse.
In two years of peace immediately proof,. g, 1862-63, end
185364, the total expenditure was 102,033 0004; it, there-
fore, we deduct the espeaditure for too year r f peen from
that for the two peon if war, we will And the excess to be
63.088.0001. ; by adoptiag this mode of computation, every
additional expense that eaa be attributed to the war will be
included. In the two years of war the revenue derived
from taxation amounted to 125,200,0001 ; in the two years
ef pesos it was 108,018,0001 ; the int roue, therefore, in the
revenue derived from taxation in the two years of war hes
been 17,182,0001.; the money raised by addition to the
funded and nulanded debt daring the same two years was
33,694,0001.; toad therefore the total GUM nixed in these
two years fr.'m increased revenue and money borrowed
teas 60,786,0001 ; but to ibis sum we meet add
the surplus of lissome over expenditure te the two
years i f peace, amounting to 6,916,0004, which will make
the fatal expense• of the war expenditure up to the pre-
sent time, 66.702,0001. If we nuke • similar calculatioa with
respect to the estimated espuditure le r the present year,
end eolith ire it with the expenditure is the years of pipe,-
preceding the war, we shall fled an excess of 24,600,0001.,
which, added to the expose incurred is the last two years,
will 'how the whole expenditure t' at can farts be attri-
buted to the war to. the two rare to be 77,608,0001.
N,w, air, Wore I proceed to the duelled estimate of the
expenditure for the year, I would her leave to call the at•
nation of the 001111111iitell to the peculiar character of the
ronton' in which we have bees upped. Modern isno-
t one, and the improved means of locomotion which modern
skill indultam, tarnish, have enable I as to crowd into a
small spice of time operations which in former years would
b .ve bees spread over a period of mach longer duration.
T.' •Am ries. w.r lasted six years, and added 124 millions
to the national debt; the actual hostoitiee of the late war
looted for two years, and added 42,000 0001. to the nevionsl
debt, fended and unfunded. By the measures adopted
during this war, we have avoided those strains on the in-
dustry and trade atlas country caused by the c .uree per-
sued in former years; we avoided all disputes wito austral'
about the search of ships; we have iavolved ourselves In no
diip ate arising from the% obnoxious right; Red we have
weedy waived Use esteem" rights of a belhgereat ia mari-
time, warfare. I trust the oniuntion late.y concluded at
Paris will set the seal on the ociocessioe so wisely made
during the late war. Tee slight cloud weioh hes snub be.
omen this country and America caused by the gift's& made
to obtain an addition to oar army in the territories of the
United States will. I trust, be speedily diep•lled by the
genial influence of pease. There is another p oat whieb we
ought not to leave out of OUT consideration, with regard to
the great expenditure ia the late war for military and naval
purposes. The late war found us, to a great extent, mute •
pared for the s toggle, and we have de voted a very large
sum during these years to the impr ooziest of our military
and saved ereparaticess. Our military annals are now mush
feller, our guns are ewe perfect, our trot p. are armed with
a weapon fier snore perfect this was the case at the com-
mencement of the war; oar navy is more numerone, better
op....tinted, more efficient for all the purposes of &Puy than
at the beginning of belligerent operations. It must be re.
membered that we are now in possession of a greater
amount of materials of all kinds tor naval and military
purposes than we pommeled at the beginning of the war ;
and thereto:4 the amount which has been expended
has not been eatirey fir temporary pnrpous. I will sow
i toned to stets to the house the estimate of tne expendi-
ture and revenue for the ensuing year 1856.67. Although
puce has been happily coocloded, and although we are sot
now in • state of war, yet the present year must for all
prectied purposes be considered to • great extent to he a
year of war. Amanda' peen:adorn wore made during the
winter for the campaign by sea and land, and at the eGai
insocement of the present year we were in a potitioa to have
meted on • w oet effective cantha'gri with our land fines
end our sea force. The espenditure, I rejoice to ay, is now
ant...usury, as we have aot been ca'led on to commeene •
third sampan/a ; bet as 'spindlier, has beta lammed a
large portico of which will become pueblo daring the pie-
ant year. We shall have to pov.de for the treas.
port of our trocps from the Crimea; and the enure@
ii emearily incurred in paying off fro ps and ell the outs
lacuired in the disunion of the army and navy will have
to be defrayed ia the rement year. There is also another
uprise whin we shall had to provide for, as we bane seder-
t kaa to eoevey the Sudiaian troops from the Crimes, for
which we Will have ti provide ship". No•withstauding
the,. soothes of expeaditore which it will be ausesery to
provide f. r during the present year. I rejoice to my that it
has been in the power of her Majesty's government to pre-
set a very reduced estimate/or the military mid naval Slir•
vices. The original estimate for the army was 34998,0001
red revised estimate presented • snort ha claw is
20,747,0001., showing a reduction of 14.261,0001. The eel-
itiust estimate for the aavy was 19,876.0031.; the revised is
16 668,0001. ; showing a diffusers of 3.306.0001. The total
of the i rieinal estimate tot the two services wee 64,874,0001;
vie revised estimate only amounts to 37 316.0001. ; showing
• reduction on the two services of 17.669,0001. Betides the
additiosal saponifier* for tile coming year, to which I have
already adverted, there is au there spun to whin I will

Now, sir, the set by which teat ouavoontion was carried into
offset received the royal Sweat on tee 26th of April,
1866. Some delay la thi exchange of vivification bad
rousted her Majesty's government from introducing the
hill at ea earlier period. That delay, however, was not fa any
way to be attributed to the Sordiniaigoverameet. bat arose
from eiseemeteues over which they had no antra. The
Ant psymeat was made on the 6th of May, 1866, a few days
after the ant resolved the royal assist sad the mewed pay-
ment on the 3rl of November last; and bills for the third
instalment of half a million wen drawn oe the Treasury,
dated et Tarn oe the 6th of October kat, whisk were an-
iseed by her Majesty's government on the 20,h, whoa they
were seder the impression that the war would suttees, as
they had so asticipatin that peace would be signed so
soon. I .ow wish to all the attention of the committee to
a regular cotheidense of dates. The treaty of Paris was
"igen on the 30th of March, bet the ratifications were
