permanent war system, than to pima is ioa eta it a
scaleof expense as necessarily erose out of the
. state of atar, without including that greet ince-ease
Avhich has heen OCC;Aolled.by our tette:ea:alio:4l7
exertions abroad in the last four year., and which;
in whatever way it may appear to the wiadotie of
Parliament most proper to provide for it, must be
considered as of only an occasional nature. In
the foregoing statement it is assumed,. that, the
Sinking Fund is no portion of the natitmel expen-
diture.
sin fact, by cancelling a certain portion of
debt in each year, it reduces the debt really in-
curred, to the amount in which the suns burro Wed
exceeds the sum to be redeemed. . It is evident,
indeed, that whether the. Fend( le applied in the
Purchase of stock already texistingeer in redecing
the amount of stock to beacreated, the effect
be nearly the same; and the equalization of the
public• income_ and expenditure may Consequently
be Considered as a primary• advantage of the
Sinking Fund, no less than the actual redemp-
tion of Debt. The former of Abeie: objects, so
far as is requisite to meet that part of the ex-
penses of the, war, which may be considered as
necessarily permanent, appears, by the foregoing
statement, to have been already accclpplisbed. It
has., iedeed, been effected by, means which, while
tbey'shew the extent of the resources of the coun-
try, and evin:ese its firm and unshaken spirit, point
out at the seine timethe eapediency of not calling
for and further snerifices ivhich may be avoidable.:
for this great ohjecr has, in fact, been accomplish-
ed by the e'xtraordfifary payment. of more than
200,000,000/..0f War Taxes. This unexampled
exertion may be, considered as no lees powerfully
co-operating With the Sinking-, Fund,. in its other
grentiobiee of the `redoetion of the Debt, since,
the creation of a new. Debt- to an equal amount
has thereby been :avoided:. `These consideration
nifty be thought seffitleetto point Out the general
expediency of any alteration o the present ea--
ranee-meet of the Siiiking Fend, whkb, ,without,
violating the provisions of the Act of 1792, may
diminish the weight-Of those further burdens,,
' which the progress, of, the War may still impose
upon the Nation ; and with-this view, it may be.,
proper to advert to the remarkable, period at which •
the redemption of. the Debt has Aetually arrived.
When the establishment of the Sink ittg;Fundwas
proposed by Vra Pitt, in 1786, the dehtannotinted
to near 2,4600.000/. ; a s um a of which, few then
living ever hoped to .see the redemption, hut
which, by the steady. perseverance Of PerlieMetit,
iu this important measure, has .already been re-
•deemed. It is :true, that this redemption hes
been etlected, not solely hy the operation of the
Sinking Fund
.establishei in 'lnf.,
,but fn great
part by the f,,royiiioli lliaiie for the redemption
of Loans since contracted, and also by-the 're-
demption of the Land-.tax, and, in some degree,
by the purchase of Life A tin ititieairb ese additional
exertions stew the elairit and perseverance With,
whiCh the original system has been carried into
execution, amidst all the diflibulties of' ass exoen-
sive and protrueted warfare., The-separation, kept
up
.for purposes of account, between the original
• Sinkiang Fend of 1786 and. the..additions subsea
fluently made to it is, however, only nominal ; it
neither has been, hot' can be attended to in prac—
tice, because the whole of the debt contracted
,"nice the estahlkinnent of tin. Sinking Fund, hav-
ing been borrowed from the atold Stocks, amid no
distinction being mode between the Old and new •
proprietoes, the .whole debt is consiklered. one isa
dascrimitinte mass, to which the parchaSes 'made
by the' Sinking Fund -are equally' applicable. No
right'nf 1)64)1.4 of redemption read exist in any
particulaacless of Stockholders, nee can any con-.
. ditions of repayment be -claimed (except in the in-
stance of , the 5 per cent kite of, 1797)- beyond
those laid.diwn in the Act of 1792, under thelaith
of which ell aubsequent Mans ,may be considered'
as contracted.. By that Aet proeiSion is made for
the redemption, •within foray-five years, of all,
debts subsequently created : wild within this litnit
Parliament nes the power to regulate the mode of
the redemption at, its discretion; and has in 'fact
exercised that discretion in several inatonces,", In
the years 1798, 1799, and 1800, for example, no
provision was Made for the immediate reduction of
that part of the loans which was charged upon
the Income Tax.; but it Nl* intendedi that those
sum should be redeemed by n prolongation of-that
tax in time of peace. In 1802, when tlic Inennie
.Tax waieepeeled, and other funds. Were, provided
for defraying the interest of the se loans, it was
again thought unnecessary to make immediate
provision tor the redemption of the .prineipal;
awlitch was left to be' redeenied by the prolonged'
operation of the Sinking ,Funds already existing.
It may, therefore; he considered' as decided;
on not.
only by the recorded opinion, but by the eitab-
lished practice bf Parliament that while ,proyisien
is madeain any manner, for the redeafpriela at
'each respective portion al the, public 41(14, within
,forty-five years from tifee of its being Created, the
enactments of the Act of. 1792 are vinnplied with.
would consequeatly he equelly inconsistent
with- the Act of 1.792, either to redeem any num-
her ofloans by applying to the separate redemp-
tion of each the distinct portion of'Sinking
created' at the acne of its being contracted, o. n• by,
applying the whole Feud, in `the first. instance 6)
the total redemption of the , first rontraettel loan,
and tifterwatds to that Of the several succeeding
loans in their respective order," so that each/ of
them should' he redeemed within fortYafiae years
of its being raised. This second mode, howeataa
would. be attended with important adyantages. In
the first mode, the whole charge of Interest- and.

rai..;fit be "I•try inedaverliently affected by the too •
taoid increase,.or the 'too sudden reduction of the
satins ,brought . into circulation by the Sinking
f mid. It should not- be suffered to accumulate for
too long a period) while, on .the 'other; hand, it
should not be too much diminished, by extin-
goishing at on se too large,aportion of the pub,
lic debt. These considerations appear to have
occasioned that provision of the original Sinking
Fund Act of :17-86, Gy wlaick its accumulation at
Compound interest was limited to four millions;
and they will be-still' more effectually provide for
by the Anode ofsuceessive
,redemption, which has
been pointed out ; while another advantage- at-
tending it would be, that throughout nearly. the
whole period of its operations a much smaller por-
tion of the national resources would be providing
for the poblic debt. The point at which we are
now arrived in the redpuptiou of the Debt, affords
a most fa durable opportunity for the adoption of
this mode; which would have been . originally
preferable, and which the actual duration of the
war, and the prospect of its possible further con-
tinuance, render at present peculiarly advantage 7.
ous, - Upon these principles, it is the object of
this paper to propose a plan, by which a gradual
. and eouable reduction of debt may be provided for
'syith,gyeatlnintediate advantage to the public. - It
is only necessary to enact; that the Debt first con,
Iracted shall be immediately p:aid off, whether put-
chasedby the Sinking Fund originally provided for
its redemption, or by any other:: It has already
been shewn that this supposition involves no abitir-
.dity, :he old Stocks-and the additions to ;titan be-, '
ing so mixed, as to render all discriniination7lno:
posSible ; and' it is surely very allowable in prac-
tice to assume that any given portion of the Public
ftdrt is discharged, When an equal sum, !Untied in
the saute seeuritiesy has been paid off. A .sum
equal to the,capital of the whole Public Debt ex-
isting in 1786,- having already been' pUrchased by
the -Cominissioners, or transferred for the ye-
deniption of Lind-tae,. or the purchase of Life
Annuities, the execution of this plan will only re- ',
quire, with regard either to this sum, or to any
debt herc:.ft er to be redeemed, thitt a certificate
of such rethanption shall be pniiii,shed in, the Oa-
' zette, andlaid before• Parliament 'by the Commis-
sioners ; and that, thereupon, the stock so re-
. (teemed,' and standing in the 'Lames of the :Coin-
thissionerS; shall be at the dil)osid of Parliament,
and liable to be cancelled, in 'such proportions
and at such times as ;Parliament-may direct, to
snch an amount as may be neeess:try for,.chargMg
upon the snow securities, the Dividend and the
Sinking Fond of 14.67,L,f0t0 which may have been .
contracted for the public. service"; but that the
whole ;Sinking Funa creatCl by the Act of 17t61 or
by any subset-merit Ai:t, shat be continued and tip-
. plied, until,the total redemptiOn of 'all • debt nosy'

In order,:liowever, effectually
.trosecure the means
ofredeeming all future Loans within Forty-,five years,
. and to preserve a proper proportion between the
Sinking rund nod the Unredeemed Debt, it will
be expedient to enact, that wAteneYer the sum hc:
' rowed in any year shall exceed the sum to be
paid oil, a Sinking Fund shall be provided for '
the excess of Loan, equal to .one halt of its. 'lute-
' rest ; and for the remainder of the Loan (or fiat•
the whole, if 'not exceeding the amount to be re-
deemed within the year) a Sinking Fund of 'one
per cent. conformably to the Act of 1792. It
may also be observed, that as this aerangement

will correspond more nearly, as the successive cx.-

would •_be accelerated, and the Sinking feud
would increase more' rapidly; and opposite ef-

borrowed were diminished, or if they were ob-
tained at a "iiitc of interest below 51.-aier cent.
This is' slieWn by tables, pointing out the et.'

of 12,000,0001. respectively, which prove thatia

event•of a continuance of the present rate of c::.-
pence, the cessation of the imposition Of taxes for
some years, ivould have a eonsid6rable effect In

has been in some degree experienced .even iii coat

It stioold also, be'remarked, that- such a saving
of permanent taxes would create a comparative
facility of increasing the'war taxes, if such m
sure should be thought advisable,. as it probably

or even of any cons.ideraWe duration" of its pre-
sent arnonnt. How far this may be 'expected; it

There is, heiwever,no wish tdclisf4iiise the weight,
which tire' 'eirctinisytaccs of the present

the eontrat4y,. a very confident persuaiion, that
the more fully those circumstances are -,inv-es6pt-
vi, the more they will be found to 'enfcpce.the ex-
pediency of such a system."--The Hort.
Gentleman observed, in conclusion, that he was
sensible, in detailing ti plan Of such magnitude, he
took iron himself a great lOad of responsibility,
but.if he should be so foritmate to render a great
service to'his country, as wis his anxious wish, he
sv.as willing to risk his repiitatiow in the,4tteinpt,
with- as entire a ilevotion as numbers of his gal-
Innt countrymen had expOsed their liees, feeling
that the bne was as precious to himaS:the other
Could be to them. He did not wish;hovreYer, to
force any plan of his upon the House or the coun-
try, with unbecoming precipitation. It was hip
desire, that full time should be given, to weigh
every part of theplan he had snbinitted ; that the
Gentlemen opposite should consult the'ablest men
and the -best authorities upon the subject, ; and
that every Member should come.lo the decision
of it, with a disinterested and pure de' ire to serve
the country. If, its be hoped, the plan he had
submitted was solid and well-founded, be should,
in that case, think that he had performed the do-
t s of his
.office, -and deserved the confidence of
the public. The Right 'Honourable Gentle Man,
then read the Resolutions, which be proposed to
submit to the Committee, which were nine in
number, and embraced all the topics urged in his
speech; and he finally said, 'that he hoped 1?y
;,‘londay se!nnight,to he,prepared to enter into the
dismission of the subject...
Mr. HustussotY thought it very proper that the
consideration of the subject was postponed. For
his own part he did not understand the details of
it well. That however did not arise front the
want of perspicuity in the Right Honourable
Gentleman (Mr. Vansittart). .The plan should be
viewed with to to its practical effect, and he
hoped the good results expected would follow.
Mr. TicincEY. was fidly aware, of the arduous
task, the Right Hon. Gentleman (Mr, Vansittart)
bad undertaken. As far as he understood it, the
object of the plan was to undo all that had been
done before in 18,02. He then opposed that plan,
and informed Lord Sidmouth that it mat end :in
something like that -now proposed, When that
plan was . adopted, the faith of Parliament.was
pledged to it. The present was neither fu new or
a permanent system, and must be alarming to the
Stockholder, because from year to year.it would
be necessary for him to pursue a different course.
Uncertainty in money traniactiocii ought, above,.
all things, to be avoided, and the plan now pro-
duced mast, he thought, introduce such uncer.
tainty, and create some alarm to the public cre-
ditor. He thought a Select Committee should be
appointed to report upon the state of the public
faro n

Mr. Dnvia GIDDY, said, that the plan, as he un-
clerstooti it then, gave him some pain, but he
should suspend his, udgment until the details %vete
before him.

The CII4NCE.m.oR of the EXCHECWER 'aid, that
the principal ohjeCtion of the Right Hun, GL:ntle-
man (Mr- Tierney) was founded on misconception.
The stockholder by the plan proposed would not
be placed in a state. of izeater uncertainty,than
he was in at' 'present, because he would .know
frOm year to year the amount of the Sinking,
rund to be applied. In. the tinie of peace thigtul-
vantages arising froui it would'hc very great, its it
Was proposed to place I 00,q00.,000/. in 66114'11de
of the Cotainisiioners, to provitle, when occasion
should require it, for the safety and diknity of the
coutitry. This was to be wholly a treasure,at the
disposal of Varlianient, and' not at
,the disposal of
the'Crown.

.Mr. BARIN6 said, that the plan save hitu con-
siderable alarin, frOm the progress it was likely
to +make, but he conid not perceive that 'it
birought with it any immediate dariger to Public
Credit. ,:"

Lord CASTLEREAGH said, that be was glad the
opinion delivered I,)y the lion. Gentleman (Mr,
Baring) went to correct an impression which
,might otherwise go abroad, from the speech at
the Right Lton. Gentleman opposite (Mr. Tierney)
that the plan was attended with danger to Public
Credit. He thought it was the interest of. the
House to suspend their judgmeta until the plin was
before thent in detail,

Mr. 11. THORNTON, understanding that.taxes to
the amount of 7,000,000/. were to -be avoided,
e6nceirecl the Sinking Fund must in future years
suffer a diminution to that amount and this he
apprehended would have an injurious effect on the
Punlic Funds, fie moreover doubted whether the
proposed nltvration in the Sinking Fund would
be consistcut with the public faith pledged to the
Stockholder.

'The CHANCeI,Lott of the EXCITE6I,IJP.II said,
though 7,000,000/. of taxes were avoided, Ile did
lot cuiteeive cl4e in the Sinking Fund
v. ould amount to any thing like 'that sum. It
toght. 'vary in its amount in different years ; but
lie ct,~tl~l hurdly expect the diminution would es-
t!: cd 5`,t)Ol1„0001. With reTect to the preserve
turn of the public faith, he had lioPed what he bad
said would have given sufficient explanation on
that subject. The public debt would be, sooner
paid, off by the proposed phut than by that already
estaidish4.by law ; and the measure, "it appeared
to him., would be so beneficial to the stockhcdders,
that he elpeetcd them 'not to bless :him,-but to
bless ParParnent for enacting it.
Some further explanations were given of various.
rills of the plan by the Right lion. nunu,
In 'answer to questions and observtitims front Mr.

The vexations, exercised by privateers under the
trench flag, against the conimeree Of Sweden--;
multiplying in an unheard of proportion, and ex-
tending theniselves-eyen to provisions, must ne-
Ces-sarily impose the sa :red obligation upon the
King, of endeavoi, ring to inform himself its
as his subjects, ill on the state of :things, which
gives to 'peace all th:' character of war. The
privateer the Men ury, having phu.ed herself, upon
the coasts of Swtden, in order to freely connuit•
piracies there,,---this, in fact, constituting her-
self an ""enemy,---eras arrested in her courses, and
•brought into a Swedish 'port, through A motive of
,(101elice,%vhich-could not be misunderstood.

'rite l lou.e went into a Committee on the Irish
Bintcr Trade, The Chairman was instructed to
for !carp to bring in a Bill ; and leave being
given, the Bill ras brought in, read n first,
and ordered to read a second time to-morrow,

The Kiog, who never, fur a moment doulited
the'sentinients of
,jus=tice which animated his Ma-
jesty 'the Emperor of. the Freneh, has ditferent
times,addresked himself to that Sovereign, stating
complaints respeeting the conduct of French) pri=
• vateers, so diametrically contrary to the nature of
the relations which subsisted between the two
Courts, and the tenour of treaties, and CYCII to
that Of the letters of marque with which the pri-
vateers were furnished. Ms Majesty, however,
not having obtained any answer to the
,just de-'
mands which the interests of his 'people prescrib-
ed, sent, immediately upon .hearing of the deten-
tion of the privateer, the Mercury,. an extraordi-
nary courier to the t,:ndersigned, for the purpme
of having placed, in all parts, under-the eye of

tee for the future. The under.dgued fulfilled thel:,w
orders on the 11th of last 3aditary,,and that corn-
. munication, has likewise remained without reply.
In the midst of this expectation, and whilst his
Majesty, hearkening to his-sentiments of. esteem
and friendship for his Imperial Majesty,' gaye
self up to the most just hopes, he learned 'that a
very considerable corps of 'French troops had, out
the 27th of aniiary; entered- Swedish i omerania.

These orders, confined to demanding an expla-

of his Majesty the Emperor and King, in ropeet,
