In another part of our Paper will be found an
arc tof the receipt of the Revenue of Great
Dwells, exclusive or the War Melt Duty and ar-
rears of Property Tax, for the quarter ended on
Saturday last ; together with a comparative estimate
of the receipts of Revenue for the years and quarter.
respectively ending on the 6th of July, 1817, and
the Sth July, 1818. By this account, it appears
that in the estimates therein continued, the pro-
duce in the year jest ended is greater than in the
year preceding by the sum of 3,016,669/. while the
excess of Ilse quartet over the corresponding gaunter
in the last year amounts to 1,1:10.6431- We were
prepared for this very gratifying siatement by the
representations of the state of the Revenge cautioned
in his Royal Rieman the Palm' lisoany's
Speech room the Throne. at the dissolui tan of the late
Parliament, in the SPSAILER'S Speech at time her of
the Mouse of Loris, and by the whispers of the
Cusecat.t.oa of the EXCIIISQUiIII across the table
of the House of Commons. It was indeed to have
been hoped that the great anal unnatural depression
experieuced for some tone by this country, would
not have lasted for ever; and to most people it ass
more a matter of surprise that it should have been
tilt so twig. than tloss it should now partly and
-lowly yield to the operation of time. and the na-
tive energies of a people habitually industrious and
riiterprisisig. But, however flattering the present
increase of Revenue may be, either as a proof of
present prosperity, or as a promise of the future,
our cannot conceive 'stein whet pretence the Mi-
nisterial Papers soma, Ir. as a source of corn•
meeillation fur their patrons. Have the Ministers

measure did they .luring the long 'course of na-
tiolial depression tend to alleviate the public
calamities, or to shorten their duration?--can the}

the nation, and with such proofs of their wisdom.
it is no wonder that Ministers should How take
credit to themselves fur tlw revisal of commerce,
the restoration of public confidence, and the con.
sequel's improvement in the Revenue. They Mr..

all the calumnies" with which Ministers are
assailed. If it be ss calumny" to tell of injudi-
