FINANCES'.

THE statements which have appeared in the Pub.
lie Prints, of Mr. AUDINGTOWS Speech on Friday
last, having been erroneous in several respefts, from
mistakes in the Figures, we are induced to lay
before the Public the following Abstrad of the Ac.
counts, ti 4 accuracy of which may be depended •
'Upon.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER first ob-
served, that he was induced to bring forward the
IViotion, of which he had give notice, for granting
to firs MAJESTY a Sum on the growing Produce of
the Consolidated Fund, at a Season of the year earlier
than usualaaby the very satisfadory circumstance of
the extraotalinary produce of the Revenue during the
Last half year. It would be recolleded, that four Mil-
lions and a Half had been voted on the Credit of the
• 'Consolidated Fund, for one year to the sth of April'
next. Of that sum, no less than Three Millions Eight
}lundred Thousand Pounds had been 'realised on the
loth of Odober, last, and- there was little doubt
that on the conclusion of the ensuing Quarter, on
„,the sth of January, she Surplus of the Consolidated
• Fund would exceed the Seven Hundred Thousand
Founds necessary to complete the Sum which ,had
• been voted. The Committee therefore would be
aware, that unless a power were given to His Ma-
"estY's Government to apply such further surplus
as might accrue, to the Public Service, a consider-
:4,l'le Sum might remain dead and useless in the Ex-
i"ecluer, while Money must be raised by other means
k° defray the necessary expences. He then shortly
ii,eallitulated the principal measures of Finance in
• leYear iSoz, and_ observed, that the Unfunded
Dept in Exchequer Bills and Navy Debt, which,
in November, zBor,, had amounted to upwards of
thirty-seven millions three hundred thousand pounds,
had been reduced to about nineteen millions and a
half ; making a redudion of near eighteen millions,
'which in the' course of the year had been either
• funded or paid off. Of the remaining sum of nine.
teen millions and' a half, three millions, which
had been advanced by the Bank as a conside-
ration for the *renewal of their Chatter, bore
no interest, and was not payable till 0306,
• and 900,0001. were charged on the Annual
TaxeS of the present year, the arrears of which
Would be sufficient to discharge them. Deduding
these sums, and 4,500,0001. of Navy Debt, the
remaining,Exchequer Bills'scarcely exceeded eleven
„That in order to effed this redudion, to
• provide forbthe current services of the year on that
extensive scale which the circumstances of the State
-aliad required, and to relieve the Country from the
pressure of the Income Taxi it bad been necessary
to make provision for ninety-seven ' millions of
'unded Debt, of Which eleven millions arose from
the funding of Exchequer Bills, fifty-six ,millions
and a half from the Stock charged upon the Income
'Tax, and about thirty millions from the Loan of
the present year. That the charge accruing from
so large an addition to the Funded Debt amounted to
above three millions one hundred thousand pounds,
for which Taxes were provided, which were esti-
mated at four millions, but which in the first quar-
ter
in which they had become produdive had brought
into the Exchequer about nine hundred and twenty
tiousand pounds, aithough scarcely any thing had
been received on the additional Assessed Taxes, which
were estimated at one million. Adding, therefore,
one-fourth of this sum to that which had been realiz-
ed, it would appear that the produce of the Taxes of
Soz, in 'the quarter, ended the toth of Odober
in that year, might be estimated at no less than
had
hundred and seventy thousand pounds. He
'ad the satisfadion to state, that so far as a judgment
could yet be formed, the services of the year would
• be defrayed by the. Grants of 'Parliament, with the
singleA exception of the Extraordinaries 'of the
Army. Gentlemen would recoiled that he had ex-
pressed his apprehensions in the spring that a con-
siderable excess. would arise on chat service, and a
large addition of expence had undoubtedly been oc-
• casioned by the detention of our Troops upon Fo-
,.
-reign Stations longer than had been 'expected. He
i'• liad reason to believe that the excess, beyond the
SLIM °forte-Million six hundred thousand pounds pro-
vided byP:-.'irliament, would exceed one million ;
'' but he had the consolation of being able to state to
The Committee, that the total expence of the Extra.
Ordinaries of the Army in .18oz would not exceed
One half of its amount in the preceding year. It
was also satisfaffory ro reflect, that the economical
management of the Naval Service had effeCted a re-
, ",,,,ou6tion of no less than four millions and a half of
for'
Debt. He next stated the Supplies prOposed
xot the year iSo '3, and the Ways and Means by
Which they were, to be defrayed as follows :
