LAST night Mr. PITT stated, in thee. House of
Commons, the Supplies which h-itt been voted. it
the Service of the year, and the Ways and Means
by which lie proposed to raise them, Although
the necessity of imposing new burthens upon the
People must always be a subjea of regret, yet, in
the Statement made by the CitArrczutott of the
Exert ROYER, there is ample ground for satisittiiors
and exultation. After •o many years of a War on.
precedented in point of expellee, we find a Loan of
11,,verity-twO Milllons ar►d an Fla male upon term•
much more brneficiil to the Public 'than the Loan,
of tart year. We yesterday laid before our Readers
that: terms of the I, tan, by which it appears, that
Government give rial• Stock for every tool, Sker.„
ling, and that the Interest amounts to 51. 30.

- -
per Cent. lost year, though the Loir w much

smaller, the Publicigave 1,821, Stock for every tool.
advanced, and the Interest was 51. gs. 2J.
however, we congratulate the Country on the e)(..
tent of its Resources, it would be the utmost in.
justice not to, pay hut tribute of applause to that,
Minister under whose. Management th'e Finaneti
and Commerce of the Country have risen to such an
height; who, by the establishment of the Sinking
Fund, by his rigid adherence, even in times of
the greatest difficulty, to his plan of providing
a Fund of One per Cent for the liquidation of every
'new Debt, and lastly, by that great atni ss,l3,
measure, of endeavouring to raise as much of the
'Supplies within the year as possible, has enable.l this
Country,to make exertions, which, t weety years ago
would have been deemed absolutely improdicable.
The new 'Faxes with which tie proposes to pay the

Interco of the Loan, and the Otie per Cent, for the
Stnking Fund, are an increase on the Rates of Post.
