By this it appeared that the period for which
these sums were voted for the Navy, Army,
Ordnance, and Miscellaneous Services, were for
five months only; there would remain seven months
more to be voted in the Committee of Supply, but
under the present circumstances of this Country,
and considering how impossible it was to make
arrangements ; or if arrangements were made, how
impossible it would be to make them effedual, or
such as should be applicable to our situation; it was
not his intention to propose now any Resolutions
for the remaining seven months for the Navy or
the Army ; but in the mean time he could assure
the Committee, that every retrenchment that was
prafticable should take place, and also that in the
mean time very considerable retrenchments should
take place, both in the Navy and the Military Ser-
rice. They should be reduced with as much rapidity
as possible, consistently with ate prudence which the
Committee were aware, ought to guide the condul
of the Executive Government. The Committee
would understand distinttly what the prudence
was to which he referred. Until the ratifications
of the Definitive Treaty were exchanged, which
be trusted would take place, and thanked God he
had no doubt of it, but we should nut let go the
security which we held in our possession, until that
event happened. There would therefore remain to
be voted for the Navy, Army, Ordnance, &c. for
seven months, and some for Miscellaneous Services.

Consols, 6o Reduced. Deferred Stock, 61. zgs. 3d.
making together z 3 zl. zgs. 3d. for every 1001. of
money.. _ _

The 3 per Cent Consols. were taken at 751,
being r+ per Cent more than the Market Price at
the close of Saturday. The Reduced, generally
estimated z per Cent under the Consols, were taken
at ri above the Market Price on Saturday also. He
did not know that any purpose could be answered
by. his taking up the time of the Committee in
making any commentaries on this Bargain, certainly
it was to be considered as perfeCtly satisfaCtory and
auspicious to the greatest degree ; and he begged
leave to congratulate the Committee, and indeed
the Country at large, on this proof of the confideoce
of monied persons in the Extent and Stability of
the Resources of this Country ; but he should not do
justice to those whom he addressed, if he' did not
add, it was to the wisdom, fortitude, and perse-
verance of Parliament, supported by the vigour and
energy of a powerful People, true to themselves in
the hour of trial, that this and all other advantages
we had gained are to be ascribed.
On the subjeCt of the Tax on Income, he said he
should be extremely sorry to suppose that any Gen..
tlemml should impute to him any unworthy motive,
by which his condud was actuated ; he could assure
the House that the step which he was about to take
in this particular, -was the result of his own thought,
and that not only from what he had felt in his own
breast for a considerable time, but that which he
hid communicated to others, who, if necessary,
would declare and vouch it for him ; and he was
sure the Hon. Gentleman opposite to him, would
do him the justice to ray, that in January last he
spoke with reserve upon that subjeet, and begged
that nQ inference should be draw:: as to the course
whicif might be thought advisable by the Executive
