The COramittee would perceive that the great ofi-
jettt he had in view was to, raiSe a large ,part of ihe
Supplies within 'the year. The extent to wiiich he
Wished to carry thiSpeineiple was tin , that theft:
Should he no increase Whatever of the 'Public Debt
during the coarse of the rWar. In the first place:
it would be necessary to ascertain, the probable
'amount of the. annual Charges of .the War, and
there,to make provisions for carrying on a :vigoroui
and even 'protra4ed contest, without making any
greater addition to the Public Debt than what would
lie annually' liquidated by the Sildeing Fund. - 'f he
annual Charge of the War, airless demands were made
opon us-by the intervention of Foreign Powers who
might wish: to make a eomtnnteettose with us, he
thought .would not exteeal 26,000,0001, 11, tlicl
not mean to deity thih was a:great, au enor.

for which we had now to contend. If then the
House should think fit to adopt the mea,ur.e he was
now proposing, if he was right in his. Estitrato tyf

and if his calculation of the Annual .-Taxes was car.
'ten, which he had estimated at t a,soo,ociol. but
which 'for this purpose he would only' take 'at
t 0,000,0001, there would only remain a stim of
6,000,0001. to be . borrowed, whic,h ..would be
more than covered by the Sinking Fivid, which.
now produced considerably more than 'Six

the permanent taxes of that period were 15,994,000`,
increasing in those eleven years, in permanent
upieards of 1,700,3Q31; ; but this was not all, the
perminent taxes' of this Country Which hoh been
imposed during the War, had been produEtive ire a'rt
equal degree. In the year. 1793 they greatly ex.
serried the amount of the charges for which they
were proitivd. The taxes of the last year were
levied' for the purpose of providing,for a charge:of.

on thin principle that he proposed the present mea.
sures. He remembered what
,had been said by a
GREAT Pe ksoN upon a former. occasion, when, he
was'asked, what interest a person who was reading
a liana, by a taxed rialr-light, had in Maintaining a
share in the Balance of the Pbwer of Europe ? To
which he answered, that the Troportion he paid of
tush-light, and his paper was what he Celt ro

Ministers had not been negligent. He would not
expjtiatel& what Ministers intended to do, but he
would say generally, it was their wish in avoid ex.

to go to War, but because we arc at War ;
and that we are at War because we cannot be
at Pence : That our °Neel is Peace on fair and ho,
towable. terms, , but that we have, no means
of obtaining Peace but by great exertions in
Ouppott of War; That was the principle on
which Government appealed to the patriotism
or 71
A ;.roanie:tt, Government was aainz on a prin-
ciple of firmness, for die support of the dignity of
the King and the true interests of his People : that
they would endeavour to maintain: dignity without
arrogance, and that they would also endeavour to

that many imputation 3 hadteen cast upon. Ministers '
which they did not deserve, and he knew it re.

. nt,.. would ask, whether persons ;rifting on such a
system' were persons to be distrusted, ? He. had
Urought forwent! the present measure, from a convic-
tion of its necessity in itself, not for the purpose
of chewing, that the charge of the want of firmness
lied energy made against Ministers were unfound.
cd ;—.So far from it, that 1-1-1, begged to remind the
Committee, when the Income Bill was repealed,
he expressed an entire, approbation of the principle
of it. as a Mr Tax, and had observed how much
the Public were indebted to his Right Hon. Friend
for bringing it forward ; he had expressed his ad.
rnir.it6n of the
,system proposed by his Right Hon.
friend, a system to which, with some modified-
6.2rif, he we must recur in the event of a

01 's °Nee, with which he set off for novtr, in
eompony with Mr. STOWP, brother to the Col-
le:lor of the Customs at that Port, who had accom-
panied him to Town.
At three o'clock His, MAI EstY set off again in
his post-Chaise fur Kew, front whence he proceeded
on to Windsor.

This morning Mr. Ross, one of His Majesty's
Messengers, arrived at Lord HAWKESBURY'S Of-
fice, charged with Dispatches from St. Peorshurgh;
and, last from Hanover. He fell in with His Royal
Highness the DUKE of CAMBRI AGE at Altona, from
whence the Duke, attended by Mr. Ross, proceeded
down the left Bank of the Elbe, on the Danish side, and
embarked at a,place called Stuir-head, at the mouth
of that River, on board the Amethyst Frigate, of
36 guns, Captain CAMPBELL. His Royal Highness
kid the Satisfadion of finding PRINCE WILLIAM of
GLOUCESTER on board before him. After deliver.
ing his Dispatches, Mr. Ross proceeded to Windsor
to intorm Their MAJ rsTus of the safe arrival of
the MIKE of CAMB RIDG E yesterday at Yarmouth,
and he acquainted the Dur.z of GLOUCESTER of
the arrival of PRINCE WILL YAM.

Rear.Admirol `THORN SOK OU CH, in the Ge&kbeid,
arrived yesterday in the Downs.

YESTERDAY the Minister brought forward his
Budget, which necessarily presented Taxes heavier
in their amount, than any which -have ever been
imposed in any one year upon the People of this
Country; The Taxes are' distributed amongst three
great Branches of Revenue, namely, the Customs,
Excise, and Income arising from Land, Personal
Property, Trade, Professirms, &c.
In the first branch it will be seen by our Report
of the Minister's Speech, that specific duties are
posed upon the importation of Sugar and the expor.
tation of Cotton, a general duty of 12 I per Cent.
upon the present. duties, upon. all articles of Im.
port except Cotton Wool, Tea, and Wine; a duty
of one per Cent.- upon all articles exported from this
-Country to different partS. of Europe, and three per
Cent. on articles exported to other quarters of the
World. The whole produce of these duties, toge-
ther with an additional Tonnage duty, was esti-
mated by the Minister at 2.000,0001. after &Aka-
ing drawbacks.
With respea to the Excise, it' will be also seen
that heavy. Duties are imposed upon Tea, Wine,
foreign and home..made Spirits, and Malt ; the.
whole produce of which the Minister estimated at
6,000,c001.

On Land, as we have already anticipated, a Tax
of one shilling in the pound on the net rent is
posed upon the Proprietor, and nine pence in the
pound on the Tenant, in England, and six-pence in
Scotland. The produce of this,, together with a
similar Tax (of five per Cent.) on the Dividends
received from the Funds, and the Income arising
from other personal property, and a like Tax on
Salaries, &C. and on Trade, With some modiftea-
tions as to the latter, it will be seen, by our Report
of the Badger, to which we refer our Readers, was
estimated by the Miniver at 4,509,0001.

'This sum added to 2,000,b001. the estimated
produce, of the additional buties of Customs, and
6)000,0001. from the Excise, makes a total of
I Z400)0001, to be raised within the year..
On referring to the Speech of the CHANCELLOR
of the EXCHEQUER, our Readers will perceive that
the principle which he advanced, with reaped to the
future financial conduit of the War, was what we
have already stated to be his objea, namely, that
of borrowing no more in any future year than the
produce of the Sinking Fund (now 6,000,0001.)
will discharge, and raining the remainder by Taxes,
together with the ordinary Supplies, within the
year, in order that no addition might thus be made
to the National Debt.

The whole amount of the, Supplies it will he seen
was stated at 30,398,2201. to cover which Ways
'and Means were brought fbrwards to the amount of
30,687,7811. leaving. a surplus 01;89,5621.

Yesterday Omnium at first bore a Premium of

EDWARD. MORTIER, LIEUTENANT•CENEILAL CoM-
MANDINO IN CHIEF, TO THE MINISTER AT
WAR.

" Ifead-evartert at Nictvkaurg, lime 4.

CITIZIN MINISTER,

"A had the honour to inform you, by my Letter of the iStb•
ult. of the march of the French Army towards Hanover. -
After a march excessively fatiguing across arid sands and
marshy heaths, I took a position on the 3 tat before Wechle..
• I was assured that the Enemy guarded the linc of the Hunte.
Gen. H SINIV KST It IN, commanding the advanced guard of the
KING of ENGLA No, occupied Diepholtz with the SeCOild and
Sixth RegiMents of Infantry, two Regiments of Cavalry and
a Division of Artillery. I made my dispositions to dislodge
Win on the following morning: The Second Divisiion com-
manded by General SCIITNER, that of Cavalry under the
orders of General NANSOUTY, received orders to post them.
selves on Goldenstedt, to force the passage of the Howe,
and to dire& themselves upon Suhlingen, that they might
cut offsevery thing they might. find between that place and
Diepholtz, which the Division of General MolvrarcitAan
had orders briskly to attack. The Enemy seeing that by this
movernani he was turned. on his right, retired during the
night to Gersten.

" On the Ist inst. the Advanced Guard, commanded by
General Da nu rr, had a warm Skirmish before Bauvcn,
with the Rear-Guard of thy Enemy.
"..On the ad the Army united before Suhlingen ; the Ad-
vanced Guard moved towards Bersten ; it here fell in with
the Enemy, and notwithstanding the superiority of Mini-
hers, and the extreme fatigue of the Troops, who had that
day marched twelve leagues, General Wooer gave the
order to attack. The Enemy kept up a warm cannonade.
Some Squadrons ofthe Second Regiment of Hussars charged
with valour the Light Dragoons of the 9th Regiment. They
broke the line of that Corps, who fled, and we took several
Prisoners.

I was informed by my Spies, that the head of the Bridge
of Nicwbourg was repaired, and that the Enemy had col-
leaed all his Artillery on the right bank of the Weser. I
saw how important it was for me to precipitate my move-
ment. I marched my reserve Artillery, and I made all my
dispositions to push and beat every thing before me in the
Weser, to force the Bridge of Nievvbs-air" or to pass behind
Stolznau, and intercept by that means the communication
with the Capital.

" The Troops were in march when the Civil and Military
Deputies of the Regency of Hanover presented themselves
before my Advanced Posts : they invited me to suspend my
mar, ;11, and announced to me that they were ready to make
advantageous Propositions.

" My answer was in the negative ;4 they returned to make
me new Propositions ; I informed them I would listen to
none,. unless I had the certainty of immediately occupying
the Country of Hanover, and partknlarly all the strong
placei belonging to it. After a .104 discussion, they
signed ,a Convention, which
sl accepted under the con-
dition that it should be ratified by. the respeaive GOvern.
meats. You will see that the Army of the KING of Esc.
LAN)) are Prisonersof War, that I am master of the whole
Country, and particularly of the Mouths of the. Elba and
the Weser, •

44 I have given orders to seize all the Vessels_ which art on
those Rivers. The p Kt of Ciiitaa mos, the Son.of the
