of toiovoo:;;Zatito to rotN.lot to be
enabled to raise the surplus income of the country
from 'the *etiolated 2,000,0001.t0 5,000,0001. The
way in which lie proposed to mike this augments-
lion vis, by adding 3,000,000/. to the present re-
venue of the country. This he could only do by an
imposition of 3,000,0001. of fresh taxes. The may
vote for which he meant to take the sense of the House
was.for the priswipte of his plan, namely, the impo-
Pintas of 3,000,000/. by new taxes. Ile was aware
that in the details of the porticithir taxes, when he
came to discuss them in the Committee of Ways
and Means there might be snore difference of °pi-
, and in the vote he meant this night to pro-
pose, he by no means wished to bind Hon. Mem-
bers to any thing beyond the poineiple of the wig-
ment.itomo. He was really that the details should
he considered as open for future discussion—it by
no means followed that those who approved of the
outlioe of his plan should also adopt all the parts of
his taxation. Hr now Caine to the manlier in which
he meant to apportion the amount of the 3,000,000/.
of fresh taxation. Before, 'however, lie.entimerated
the nixes, Le thought it right to state, that by the
consolidation under one head of some of the assessed
tsire,, as considerable savitig might be had in the
sgpeor.e of collectino," mid Managing—for instance,
some of the particular taxes were collected utiler
the two brads cf Customs nod Excise—by consoli-
dating such- taxes, where it could be effected with-
rrit injury to •the ieveline. hr thought a considera-
ble Gavin; might l,e cffected, amounting to perhaps
mot less than 250,000/.
The new tax he meant to propose, in the first
ith,re, was, that the., existing ditty of one 1 wilily
per lb. oil the ilOpOrtsliOil of foreign wool, Should lie
augmented to cirpenee per lb. this, whole it se-
cured au increase of revenue on the importation
of fine wool into this country, ids° protected the
home grower of coarse wool in the markets of this
country from foreign competition.—(Hear.)—The
produce of this tax, together with the saving in the
consolidation of assessed taxes, would, by estimated,
realize a sum exceeding 300,0004 So much for
the head of Customs.

In the Excise he meant to lay on additional
taxes, as follows:-1st, Upon Malt.-but not in the
same proportion Si the War Malt Tog. That had
been repea.leil, the House would recollect, upon a
variety of allegations. which hail at the time great
weight. First, the relief which such a repeal would
afford to the agricultural interests ; next to the
working classes, the price of whose beverage it so
enhanced ; mud, lastly, the injury the
tax inflicted upon the revenue itself, by din l i AAA I.lllllg
the coustatuption. Now every one of these allega-
tions had, in the result, beets proved to be un-
founded—the agricultural interests hail not beice-
fite.l by the repeal, the price to the poor was not
adequately reduced —and the revenue had not pro-
filed by any increase of consumption. The repeal,
therefore, had wholly failed of its. iuterided result.
The number of bushels of malt on which duty wax
charted the year preceding the abandonment
of the last tax was 26,0-20,000 bushels; the year
after which, however, he knew was a very bad sea-
son, the number was little more than 17,000,000
bushels; and w the last year the number again rose
to 26,000,000 and upwards. The sale therefore
was not less on the fair age, when the tax re-
mained imposed. than when it was taken off—the
anionait at each period remained alike, so far as the
cousumption. The argument of the injury to
the testator therefore wholly failed. The beer in-
deed fell n mere trifle just after the tax was with-
drawn, but the !Price was shortly after again rose,
though no fresh duty was imposed upon the article.
He meant now to proposer, that an additional
duty of 1.. 111. a bushel be imposed upon malt.
lo doing so, lie begged also to add, that this addi-
tional duty will not justify lily increase of the we-
aved !nice of the article, nor indeed justify a (-mai-
nuauce of even its present terice, to the consumer.
—(11ror, hear, and laughter.)-11e would spew
Ibis tie he the fact, by a reference to the very deci-
love evidence of so competent a judge upon this sub-

man, when examined last year before the Commit-

1 Admitting for probable defalcations, lie thought
himself entitled to assume. that the net produce of
this augmented scale of toxistion would he proditc-
; five to the extent of 3,000,0001.
Fair the last three years, from the official situation
which he filled, it had heels his lot to submit neve-
! ral financial propositions founded upon expedients
for the current expenses of the year ; but now that
1 the country was about to revert to a metallic cur-
reitcy, it Was tune to make the
.state of the finances
correspond with the politic.l satiation of the COll4l-
- ICI' ; It wax time to place them mom a fixed peace '
etaalslishissetit.—(Hear, hear.)—ln the present
state of the world, it was to be hoped that the day
of war was distant, but lie could hold oust no IMlllr-
tilatr prospect that a reduction of the existing peace
establisliasent could he implicitly relied upon—that
of course must depend oil political events which
were not to be anticipated. Events may bring
about reductions, but it was impossible that the
military energies of this country should be suffered
to decline, -or that maims, and of course at..
tended with •expense, should not be resorted to
for revisteg sin a steetly system the old con-
stitutional force of the militia of the country.
That the prospects of the country would be
advanced by the proposed 'llan he felt con-
vinced. Its effects would be to augment the sinking
fund, to improve the general revetme, and the re-
duction of some of the funds. The addition of
3,000,000/. of taxes would enable the country to pro-
ceed with this prospect—to set out eves. in the pre-
sent year. The proposed loan tins year would repay It
part of the Batik advance, amounting to 5,000,000/.
and an equal amount of the unfunded debt. They
had, he repeated, the additioual prospect of a dimi-
nution of debt its each successive year. That in
the present year there might be reason to suppose
some defalcation in the revenue, he knew was is
general opinion, but this he felt convinced would
be (if at all) to an immaterial amount. Up to the
quarter ending the sth April 1819, the produce of
the revenue amounted to an increase of 1.30.000/.
' as compared with the preceding quarter—there bad
been, lie knew, a diminution in comparison with
the preceding quarter of about two per cent.—
In some departments there was an augmentation,
as in the Post-office, in comparison with the pre-
ceding quarters—there it amounted to an increase
of 43,000/. There was a diminution in the stamps,
and again an increase in other branches ; and there
was every reu•on to hope that the main result of the
current quarter would prove equally favourable as
that of the preceding one, to chew the increased
revenue of the country. The temporary pressure
which the preparatory measures for the feauweption
of cash payments may create, was not likely to be
considerable—the unreal and unreasonable spine-
'mono!' which had for a moment prevailed upon
that point, was fast wearing away. His Majesty's
Government were most fully sensible of the
pain they had to endure in cot tt ttt g forward at
this period to recommend a plan of additional
taxation to the adoption of the country ; they felt
how great their responsibility thereby became for
the strict, judicious, and economical management
thereol—( 9 laugh from the Opposition Benches.)
Ile hoped that the majority of the House would see
that his Majesty's Ministers had, in time course of the
present Session sheven the strongest desire to econo-
, raise its every department. They were now ready
to still further record that desire, by adding to the
other Resolutions one expressive, in the fullest sense,
of the necessity of inquiring into the management
end application of all the departments of the rrve-
oue, and the placing them all upon a basis of the
most rigid economy. He was ready to conclude
with a Resolution to this effect—That the House
confidently expect that the Government of the coun-
try will institute a minute and vigilant inquiry into
the management of the Revenue, for the purpose of
adopting the most effectual means of rendering it
applicable to the public service to the ampleat
manlier. Ile thou concluded by movitig that his
Resolutions be adopted.
They were then read by Mr. Baoctien-..and
about to he put seri/dins. whets—
Mr. TIERNEY rose (several other Members rose
at the same time, but Mr. Tierney was loudly
called for). He said, that the last Resolution which
had been proposed by the Right Iloti. Gentleman
could not have been seriously niestit for the House;
it was iso doubt intended as a ruse de gnerre ;
though the proposition was no doubt singular,
it was iii fact one of the most extraordinary
propositions ever made by a Chancellor of the
Exchequer; it was in fart desiring the House to
instruct him to be etotioniical, and then, forsooth,
he would take it into his head'to be economical.
The Right Hon. Gentleman then proceeded to read
seriatim the Resolutions submitted for the consi-
deration of the Committee. 'Die first and second
were, he said, merely declaratory of a fact intro-
duced for 110 purpose that lie could nen conceive.
The conclusion of the sixth was the one which
really went to the point, for that boldly announced
I the intention of impo•ing 3,000.000 L of new
taxes. The Right Honotiroble Gentleman had
talked of the pain he and his colleagues felt
j at the imposition of new taxes ; but the only pain
: which the country would feel would be—first, at
i the unblushing nature of the proposition; and,
secondly, at the unnecessary introdue tion of it. If
lie (Mr. T.) could bring his mind to believe that
I new taxes ought to be imposed to place the finances
of the country upon any thing like a permanent
basis, and that no other means remained for the
accomplishment of this purpose, he should not
flinch from Isis duty in proposing them; but at pre-
bent he saw HO such necessity. He objected, therefore,
to the abstract proposition of pressing on the canonry
its its present situation an additioual enamel burden of
3,000,000 L of taxes. His objection also went to the
time and manner of doing this. At the outset he

iug from a lung and wasteful run of extravagance,
so great, that filiniaters found themselves driven to
prolapse a direct breach of faith with the public
creditor; fur that such a violation wee contented
soolistantially in the Resolittimis of the Right Hon.
Gektlritian, online,/ could shake his conviction of.
The Right Hon. Gentleman professed to groutid
his Resolutions on the expediency of resit gto
the system of ?.Jr. Pitt—and said, that nothing but
that would plaice Ike finoinces of the country on a
sure foundation. tie, however, contended, that the
intention of that Statesman, in proposing the Sonft•
lug Fund Act, had not been strictly observed;
that it load been earl d from in 1802, in 1806, and,
above all, by the Right Hon. Gentleman himself, is
the principle of the Resolutiotos he had carried in
I 813, mod in reverting to his iulricsiestul compiieated
statements at that time, the House would see how
lie hail dwelt on the iecodrulable advantages whi h,
as he then thought, would result from varying its
original design and application. Ilis reasoning
than was, that by allowing this fund to accumulate
for a few years, according to the express directions
of the Act, the effert would be so much to lower
the rate of interest, as vitally to injure the country.
Since that period a sum of 5,70E000/. had been
taken trout it, for if that had not been the case, it
would now amount to 21,000,000/. The propovi-
lion to that effect was made On the plea of saving
the country from taxation to the same extent, and
the House was assured by the Chancellor of the
chequer, that if they assented to it, they would be
actually filled with astonishment in a short time. at
the vast advantages which would result. They did
assent—the money was taken—all the promised ads
vantages were lost—and the result, as they How
heard, was, that it was necessary to go back to the
ancient system of Mr. Pitt. A further inroad was
this year to be made on this fund—its real air-music
was now hut two millions, and to int-lease it to lilt,
three millions of new taxes were proposed. But
lie did not see why tin odium was thus to he thrown
on all the stock-holders of the country, by lay iitg on
new taxes on an exhausted and impoverished na-
tiou—lor such, is hia view, was the natural coirie-
quence of the measure. A sinking fund of five
millions was judged necessary to he kept up;
to constitute lino!, three millions of additional
taxis were necessary ; and what was that but
saying, that to give An :winsome and security
to the stock-holder, the nation at large was to be
burdened with new taxes 2 He asserted. that such
au advance was not worth such a price ; he said that
even taking tie fund at five millions, it was only a
farce—it was us nothing, after taking tiwny front it
thirteen millions five hundred thousasod pounds—
it was a mere debts tttttt and there was really un cud
of all practical security to the public creditor. The
machinery of Mr. I'itt's plan was this. that the
sinking fund was to he kept on such a fooling, that
at all limes it would be capable of redeeming any
debt then existing to the space of forty-five years.
How faithfully this was acted on lam, would appear
that the fund, with the addition of the revenue to
be newly created, would nut extend beyond five
millions, while the debt was about eight hundred.
Besides, let the Mouse reflect that this was the
fifth year of peace, and the duration for which peace
could teasunably be calculated, and infer what was
to be expected from starting at such u time with a
melting fund of five millions.—(Dear./—lf any
man had ever ridiculed and laughed at the Howe
and the country, in seriously asserting that such a
sinking fund afforded a rational prospect of liqui-
dating the national debt, and At the same time re-
lieving the burdens of the comitry, because lie
knew himself bolding out such hopes, was a palpa-
ble delusion.—(Hear./—The Chancellor of the
Exchequer certainly might sac, •• I cannot make it
more—l can get no more ;" but that did ant make
it less true that the pledge to tire creditor had been
violated. When he said that, however, lie did
not mean to argue that the Acts relative to
the fund should now be strictly and literally
observed. They bad indeed been slrerrly
