also a OW; dent hope in the ProsperoUS issue Of those greAt.
events, which must regulate the settlement of uur foreign

devised and •cxeented, which by a judicionit and sltilful ar-
rangement of our finances, will for a considerable period'

of the National Pebt. • •

example of the last Parliament, we have continued the same
