It very generally understood, that t 1 .e
Service will require 'another Loan, and the earty
Meeting of Parliament,is most probably occasioo-

be, we have not beard stated; but we believe
that_ amither application for additional supplies
would (until March or April next) have been un-
necessary, had the last Loan been paid up in full
in the same proportions in which the Loans for-
many years past have been paid. So far froth
this 'being the case, we arc well assured that
very little more than the stipulated instalments
have been made good. This departure ft:brn tlie
usual practice, is nta occasioned by any inability
on the part- of the holders 'of the Omnium, but
because the- discount for prompt payment holds
out no inducement to do so. It is, therefore,
evident, that the defir:ienyin the ,Exchequer must
have arisen fro this, circumstance, and not have
been occasioned-by any excess in the Public
penditure beyond the estim4tes:
