FINANCE.

Ir the amount of the Revenue is one year arlm•
rently larger than the preceding, the Public is art
hastily to conclude that it is in a flourishing state,
and the Friends of the Ministers are sufficiently
ready to encourage this fallacious opinion.
It appears by a Paper laid before the House of
Commons, that the produce'of the Taxes to the Sth
of Jan. 1804, is 30,710,0001.—whereas to the sth
of Jan. 1803, they amounted only to 27,531,0001.
This account has been triumphantly stated in all
the Ministerial Papers, and the inference drawn has
been, 'that there is an increase of above Three Nil'
lions—Whereas the fad is that there is a considera-
ble deficiency—because, from 30,710,0001. twist
be deduCied the New Taxes imposed last year (04
which have not produced what they were estimated
at), and to the snm of 27,531,0001. must be added
the sum of 1,633,0001. for Corn Bounties paid out
of the Revenue. The Account will then stand
thus
