It is with the greatest present
the result of the cosarterty Aocounts which. have lately
been made up at the £xch*q*et, and which afford the most
4uhstantiat proof of the very flourishing -condition of our finan-
cial resources. From these, it appears, that in the quarter
o Mich faded the 10th instant, the surplus of the Consolidated
Fond has amounted to 2,714,0001.—Thi0 is the largest quarterly
surplus of that fend that has yet been known. In the corres-
m)
d.s, quarter of 1807, it amounted to 2,310.000/. But as
there is a sant to be deducted from each, of these atnounts, on
account of the deficiency of the preceding Quarter, (the Con-
solidated in the Quarters ending sth July and sth :lanuar, on
at.count of the Consists iu those periods ),—the folio« i fig state-

It only remains to he ob;erved, that w hole surplus granted for

ally produced within the year. For the present•year, 3,500,0001.

from that stint the 2,308,0001. above stated, their remains only
1,192,000!. to be produced in the two ensuing quarters of Janu-
ary and April, to compleat the grant. There appears therefore
the strongest probability, that there will he a considerable
excess at the disposal of Parliament at April 1808.
