AMERICAN BUDGET.

Mr. GALLATIN transmitted his Budget on the
Loth January.—He recommends a roan of ten mil-
lions for the exigencies of the present year, and cal-
culates, that a like loan will be necessary for several
years to come. As, however, be means to meet
the extraordinary expenditures of the Government
altogether by loans, it is obvious that the yearly loan
must be much larger than the sum he mentions, 35

futureln years the taxes are to be increased to
t-nt the interest of the new loans, and in the mess.ta
time the principal, or what •has been called the
public debt, is to be suffeted to accumulttle.

But as no provision is made in the Budget for
the 25,000 regulars or 80,000 volunteers, 30 rail •
lions more will be required, it is supposed, to pro'
vide fur the new army.

The Volunteer Bill for rais'ng 50,000 militia has

It is impOssible to peruse, without emotions ap-
proaching to indignation, the indecent and unwar-
rantable attacks made upon the PRINCE REGENT,
iin an Opposition Paper which has hitherto been so
feud in its praise of that Illustrious Personage•
The only object 'dirt • the PRINCE could possibly
have in view, was to promote the interests of
the Empire which he is called upon to govern,
and he certainly did elcleasons to form an unit-
ed Adminisil-ation, combining the Talents of
•the great Parties in this country. His Royal
Highness's efforts have been frustrated by the re-
fusal of Lords G:tty and GRENVILLE and their
friends to take any ,share in the Councils of the
country, unless they were invested with exclusive
power. What their claims are to the exclusive pos-
session of Royal confidence it is difficult to con-
jeaure ; theiailure of every one cif their plans, when
they. were in place, and of every one of their
predictions, since they were dismissed, is surely not
calculated to excite a very high opinion of their s--
Welty as statesmen. The confidence of the public
Aar the Parliament they do not, even in their most
Vapouring moments, pretend to possess; -surely then
'it is rather too much for 'them not only„to claim
the. exclusive Government of the country, but to
make a previous stipulation 'with the
_PRINCE RE-
CENT, that he shall give his sanaion to a measure
uhieh has experienced the decided disapprobation of
Parliament. That the Party are 'very angry at.
,be-.
jug suddenly and disagreeably awakened from their
golden dreams we can 'easily conceive; but it is
neither decent nor grateful for them to "vent :their
4, upon the Illustrious Personage at the head.ot
the Government. 1 hey may, without impropriety,
.4aSe their opponents tort being so insolent as to
succeed, w.here the Party had predicted they would
.141; they may even (to adopt Mr. Fox's expression)
- vilipera the country for being insensible to their
merits; but they cannot, • without the greatest
iiiotation of decorum 'and of crynsistency, censure
the oonduci,of that Prince whom they profess.ed-
11°t Only the duty due to him as the representative of
the Sovereign, but the attachment of friendship.
Will it, can it be believed, ttrat the very persons who,
till within these, few hours, have been praising, and
.Justly praising, the sound unde'rstanding and exalted
sentiments of the 'PRINCE REGENT, should this day
spzak of his letter idsuch terms as these?—" The
letter, therefore, of the PRINCE, cannot have pro-
ceeded from his own honourable mind it 'Must
have been hastily and incautiously adopted; at rlfe
Suggestion of some complaisant simpering parasite,'
or soine wavering, mean-spirited, time• Serving poli-
tician." The only comment we shall make upon
this passage is, to quote one from the same Paper
'of lait year, when the PRINCE was on the point of
assuming the reins of G..vernwent.

" His Royal Highness ought not to have to en-
counter, in his very outset, the effects of wilful and
Malignant misrepresentations.—We may see, from
Me wanton iove6littes in the Newspapers, the'specieS'
cif opposition that is to be set up to the Pt4seE'4
Government ; but IA hich, we trust, the gcnercins
feelings of
.the i3ritish People will treat with the
contempt witich,icurrility merits."
