they would not be so productive; h;it, ell a more

exceeded the former year by 40 or 50.0001.
The

at 0,459.00014 hut if compared with the amount
received in the Exchequer, at would be found that
a higher sum was produced. ThM arose from die
collection of an arrow of ti 00,0001.; but, in the
present year; the amount oirtstanding, was not inure
than 310,0001. Thii he mentioned, to show, at
Iran, that there was no wind of dili4enee on the
pot of those entrusted with the collection of the
taxes, and that is procuring the paysnent of as
g,. at a proportion of the arrears due, PS they pos.

who paid their taxes fairly, bat evru to those who

He might be tasked by Gentlemen on the other
side for having been mistaken so much in his cal-
culations iu 180 S. as to raise a fund of a million
and a quarter to meet a demand of little more than
a hundred thousand pounds. He pleaded guilty
to the charge; but rejoiced that the mistake had
turned out so useful and so productive. He con-
ceived. as matters stood, he was right. (taking the
average of the Consols, Stamp Duties, fur three I,
years, amounting so 3,956,7911.) after applying
the portion seceseary to meet the charges. to apply
the retnaioder to bear the charge of the Loan of
the year.—The tombola was the first year when it
could be koowe what the produce in consequence
of thealteretictos of 1808 would amount to, and it
did appear. that instead of 106,7781. it had risen
to no less than 1,-2.14.9071. leaving a balance the
disposal of tile Government of upwards of
tozio,uool.-1)n this ground it was that he pro-
posed that the interest of the Loan for the year
ainnunting to 970,8391. should be defrayed from
thus balloter.. arising out of the consolidation
of the Stamp-ogres.—/Hear, kw. hear.)—
He wished Gentlemen to task and canvas this mea-
sure, and to scrutinize it with the most jealous eye.
In favour of it, he would say. that the House,
um, *mild have had no hesitation in disposing of
it. as he now propo-ed, could they, at that period,
have been aware Grits productiveness; and he could
see nn y,roun.l for not doing that in 1810. to relieve
the le old;, •.loseh. in 1808, would not have been
objecte.l to. He must also say, that the excess (lid
uoi, arise ill.og•-t!.ur out of new taxes; there were
tact or thr. e I,lnt.!retl thousand pounds of it to be
traces, to the gradually improving and increasing
state of tl.e reveime.—Utider these eintilt-
&minas. lie ettneen ea himself warranted in ap-
plying the whole of it as he proposed; hut hr
w sold not en6rely e%"tate.it the fund; and setting
split 1.50,0001. to inect the charge of 196,0001.
there would remain I ,f)Sti,(1001. to defray the
expenses of this year's Loan, and besides,
leave a balance of 1,5,0781. for.the perpos-% of
the Consols Fund. lle 4111 aware there might be
some objections to this plan, but if they were can-
vassed, he was convinced, they never could come
in competition with the good results to be derived
from it. It might be called I. ne.." and c0.,-
derniatd as looking to iment s...xes, to defray tht
burdens of the year. The examp:e of Mr. Adding-
ton taught also be cited against hint ; for he knew
that, in 1802. u..der that adneinietration, 1,800,0001.
more than was wanted fur the service of the year,
having been raised, Mr. Addington would not ep.
pie that *tells to the service of 1803, bat proceed-
' ed to lay on sew taxes to the full amount of the
demand. But the circumstances of the times
were different--11101 was • year of peace, and. from
the alteration lathe Consols. Fund, there was. con-
sespiently, a great flow of money, which might le
few render it iitsproper to interfere with the pre-
ceding year's surplus. Yet if it Was then the feel-
ing of the country, that texetion should be remitted
us far as possible, he dud think that it senvltt hare
been as well to refer hack to the sum in hand. Be
that ..s it might, the waist of precedent was no ar.
guinent agaiost him in the present slate of the
cmistry. He reminded the House how le rungly,
since 1797, it had been iticulcated, to spare the
tinposition of new taxes—how it bad been
laid down as of the cost extreme advan-
tage, if the coustry could be spared for
only three year,. Accordingly. in 1807 sod !nog
no new taxes were imposed, rut iu the ititermediete
year the burdens ware Treater than necessity re.
t t the amount of one million ; and with
hilts drawheck, it might he said. the people had yet
been spared only our of the three years required.
There was also another consideration to induce
them, if possible. this year. to avoid the imposition
of new taxes, and that was the excess of the collec-
tion last year, of the arrears 01806, of the ProFerty
end assessed 'faxes. amounting to 2.900,0001. A.r,
if the last year produced so much more thins the
annual asaessineni, the year following could not lie
very fit fur new taxes. He again %tinily re. orn-
mended the adoption of his plan. and the more
' so, as it held the Consalidated hind iteriolate,
and only proceeded on the excess of produce,
ni a speeific branch, namely, the Stamp Othte,
from the regulations of 11108. The Right
Honourable Gentleman then referred to a Me-
. solution 'lentil; the aduainismition of Lord Henry
Petty, Ss Chancellor of the Exchequer, by whirls
it was agreed. if the 'instinct of the asserted tale,
for three years, latni-9.10, exceeded the et`entge tsf
the 'lure former yes's, then such caress was to be
at the disposal of Government for the expense* of

the current yore.; but if it fell short of the first
aiensge. the difference should be made ;:oid by
Parliament. Tile principle oil which his ill in pro-
ceeded was dissimilar to this, wiiich gave the coun-
try to look lit the superalitin.hint produce of any
new tax, and apply it. If he went Oil the stole
ground, lie might have taken the 600,00(11. averagc
arrears of assessed taxes, and bavr all that s:mi
more than he wonted. But he only wtated this to
sliest that the principle of even applyinz generally
to the surplus of the Consolidaied Fund was out
new ; whereas he only taxed a specific titer:nay in
one office. Having stated thus much, he trusted
he had said enougii to sati.fy the Coinniittee that it
was bath wise and expedient to adopt the mcaoir,.
lie would now take • short view of the trade of
the counts, to whew that it was in so prosperous; a
state as to hold out no unfounded source of ex-
pectation for future resources. Tlx exports sad
iinports of last year were greater than ever they lid

It might be said, that the contrasts between these
two years did not give a fair view ; lost if Gentle-
men *gold take the average of the too lust year.,
1808-9. they would find, that the s tocriority was
still more strikiug, and that th, it imports exceeded
much the imports of any other two years, the most
favourable that could be produced.

Thus, it would be seen, that, so far from being
stationary, which. in the opimoo of many, was
more than could have been expected. our commerce
was progressively incr.-testing 111111 flourishing. With
respect to our internal trade and manufacture., it
was not so easy to come to a joist criterion ; but he
had been assured, and knew, from undoubted
authority, that (and it might he taken as a sample
of other mantifisetures) there had been an increase
of the cloth mole to Yorkshire. to the moonlit of
1,500,0061. a-year. But it was not from this that
he called on the House to judge. They saw in
every thiug around these—iii great triadic works,
going on as in the most prosperous times of peace
—in individual splendour—and in general apoear•
ances, that an immense accumulation of wealth was
arising from the flourishing state of the agriculture.
tram, and commerce of the country. lie hoped the
House would forgive him for drawing their atten-
tion to this subject, as it was not uncomiectsd with
the present question. and opened to them a source
of hopes for every future contingency. it 'hewed
them that there we'll() reason to etc we were edhiT
a failing or a fallen country—(.shoats of hear,

Might be, we hail every cause to consult ourselves
that we were in no danger of ashy of the great c*-
unities so often predicted by those who took
gloomy views of the state of the country—(lierv.
hear.) He hail stated so much. not only as it
might have an effect upon our internal, lint
upon our external relations. Our enemy hail
told the world, some years ago, that he wanted
uoth•rig but colonies, commerce. and a navy—
attainments that he could auly snake by his
exert against the British oration. What hi,
progress hail been in these objects, and what our*
had been, Use House would say.—(blear,
Ilia progress, indeed. it could not be called, for his
every motion had been retrograde. lie had lust the
few colonies that then remained to aim—his com-
merce was almost utterly annihilated—and if he did
possess a numerous navy. lie wirely retained that
favouriteobject in his own harbours.—( flear,irear.)
This was the comparison between us end our ene-
my. in the three matters which lie fixed on as the
criterion for contrast. Look. too, at his revenues
in 1808, amounting to only lit millions of francs.
—His Miai,ters, on their being thus reduced
under two-thirds of what they were the
year before. comforted his people with this gratify-
ing cousolation. that if their revenues were de-
creased, it must be at the expense of the reduc-
tion of British exports to the remount of 4,009,0001.
1.1 the three years of the ulceration of the Orders in
Council, the French Custom. were reduced (tom
i,500,0901. to 500,0001. or about one-lifth of what
they were. 'fbia lie stated fur the consideration of

Such was the comparison to which that wisdom and
folly opposed had brought the darling projects of
our enemy. In stating the ground. on which he
