happily prevaiied. With respect to the iinoot.7
not question put by the Noble Martinis, reilteet,,
inn the4nore completely:, effecting, the abolition ttf
the Slave Trade, he vvOuld say,. that his Ma-
jesty's Government were disposed, to take every
proper opportunity to 'give every- practical ex-
tension 'to 'wliat had already taken place in
that view, and particularly they were desirous
well—regulated- right of search.
The next point touched upon was what regarded
the Finances of the COuntry :—With respect to
this, he must advance, that 'every effort was made
to create a surplus revenue, so as to operate a ma-
terial reduction of the national expenditure upon
secure and solid foundations, and at the same time
to give the country relief from the pressut e of
taxation as far as was practicable. Since the re-
turn of peace, no less than the very unprecedented
z•tn of- 17 millions of taxes were either remitted
or suffered to expire. At the same time every
possible implovernent was effected in the revenue,

and safe ur practicable reduction in•tile expetuli-

tore. At the moment, he did not feel justified in
saying more. With respect to the Currency, he
was fully aware of the great importance of the sub-
ject ; it was the general custom, Noble Lords
woold recollect, to leave that topic to the tk isdom
and discretion of Parliament, and to make no di-
rect reference to it in the Royal Speech. For
litustit, his anxiety was well known to return to
that state of things in which paper waa easily
convertible into coin ; bo: in a state of war it
was impracticable ; and since' that, a variety of
difficulties, frequently arising out of temporary cit.:
cutustances, pit:vented any regular or effectual ar-
rangement for the purvose. liis cond.:et on
former Sessions, even on the third day of the
last, proved that he wai desirous of calling
the attention of Parliament in sufficient time
to the subject—but he repeated circum-
stances bad frequently nccurred to render
it impossible for the Bark to resume cash
payments, without involving consequences almost
,ruitions in their operations and effects, and he had
no difficulty, then, in saying, that it might be
necessary, if not expedient, to continue the re-
striction beyond the sth of July, but for as short
a period as possible. But upon a comprehensive
view, notwithstandlng the difficulties of the soli-
ject, he did not in the least despair, upon due in-
quiry and consideration, of a satisfactory and be-
neficial result being Obtained. The only remain-
ing point upon which he had now to observe,
was the transaction alluded to which took place
in America relating to two individuals. Depre-
cating any detailed discussion in the present state
of their information upon the topic, he could,
however, say, that the transaction did not appear
to be authorised by the Government of the Unit-
ed States, and even took place without its know-
ledge. At present he should not occupy their
Lordships' time with any further discussion.

Tl►e Earl of LAUDERDALE made a variety of
observations on the Financial State of the coun-
try, but more especially with reference to its cir-
culation and, paper currency. In these, the Noble
Earl principal'y advanced what he had repeatedly
stated on the subject on former occasions, de-
precating the repeated procrastinations which he
averred had taken place, and contending for the
necessity of taking the subject into serious and
speedy consideration, for the purpose of esta-
blishing an extensive and effectual system of Par-
liamentary Inquiry, in order ,to avert consequences
the most disastrous, which, otherwise, he seemed
to regard as inevitable.
The question being put, the Address was voted
Item. dis. and ordered to be presented by: the
Lords, with white staves, to his Royal Highness
the Prince Regent.
