To JOHN BULL, Esq. Lord of the Ocean, Lord of the Isles,

•&e. &-..".

Before I proceed to a more circumstantial exa-
mination of -yunr affairs, if may be necessary to
give you, my good old friend,, a few hints on the
subject of EcoNomY. Now I will not deny that
every individual may appear to be richer in pro-
portion to his savinge, nay, he will he really
if be possesses.a fixed income, amil does nut at-
tempt to increase it by personal industry. But the
case is very different with so large a family as yours.
Let us suppose that a gi:neral spirit of economy
should pervade the nation—that in articles of dress
one half should annually be saved—that coaches,
gigs, and bankrupt carts were to be given up—
that fashions in furniture, &c. shoUld cease to
change—and that table beer should usurp the
place of Port and Madeira ! Why, truly, no man
in.his senses will deny, that the individuals adopting
this rigid economy will have more money in their
pockets-at the end of the ensuing year thati of
the last. But what would be the consequence,
if, as must necessarily be the case, one half, or
at least one-third, of the ornamental class of la-
bourers should be thrown out of employment,

Would not they and their families come to the
parish 1. Would not the Treasury lose all the
taxes hitherto paid on the withdrawn expendi-
ture ; nay, would not all the taxes be lost which
arise from the labourer's expenditure alto ? and
what should we have to counterbalance all this
evil ? Let them disclose who protess to advo-
cate economy. I confess, JOHNNY, that I am
unable.

In fact, my honest friend, I am afraid that
great part of your present distress absolutely
arises from that practical economy, or diminution
of expenditure, which is the 'natural result of a state
of peace. It is true, that now we save an amount
equal to the loans of past years, in the last three
of which we actually borrowed and expended
ONE HONORED AND FIFTY MILLIONS, independent
of the expenditure of sums raised by tax.es. But
then the difficulties of raising this money were
more than counterbalanced by the immense por-
tion of labour elicited by smell an expenditure ;
for tl:e matey, when raised, was not thrown into
the Thames, nor lust to the nation, as the ex-
pences prkate life are to an iudividual. These
SUMS werc 1101 taken Iron' the people, though the
taxes were by which the interest was paid, but
were voluntarily brought forward, because their
advance yielded a greater profit to the owners than
any other mode of employment could possibly
do ; and their immediate expenditure was a source
of employment to thousands who are now lan-
gnishing in He:less and poverty !
This is clear, and plain as the san at noon-day;
and a room to a state of watfare would actually,
to a great extent, remove the pressing difficulties :
hat I hope, JOHNNY, nay, I am well convinced,
that a more ra Tonal cure may be found, if you
and your suffering faintly can be persuaded to bear
up with patience against inevitable evic, and to
cheer the gloom of the present day with hopes of
certain sunshine at a period not very far distant.
Now, some may object, that if what I have
stated is one Trincipal cause of prose; t distress,
then all attempts at economy on the part of Go-
vernment 'Mist increase instead of alleviating our
difficulties, and should therefore be abandoned !
But that is going to an extteme which my rea-
soning does not warrant. During the last years
of war, we expended annually about one hundred
and fifty millions. I speak in round numbers.
Of this sum fifty millions were rased by taxes for
payment of interest on the national debt ; fifty
millions raised also by taxes fur expenditure ; to-
gether with fifty millions inure, borrowed for ex-
penditure • also. But now we shall not pay more
titan EIGHTY MILLIONS, or Jilt)/ for interest, and
thirty for expenditure ; - so that SEVENTY MIL-
LIONS, or nearly one half of the annual sum paid
by Government, is actually taken out of cue mar_
act—producing, npori society at large, the skittle
effect as if a shopkeeper were all at once to lose
half of his custutinirs ! Need we look further for
the cause of present stagnation, and of a decline
.of agricultural priceS
Here then is the necessary practical result of a
state of Peace, instead of extended warfare—a re-
sult for which some people preach up economy as
a radical cure. But if a.large dose of economy
,Las produced the evil, it is too much to hope
that u small dose_ will cure it. Economy, upon
our decreased expenditure will certainly tend to
-remove some evils partially, particularly by ena-
bling government to take off some of the most op-
pressive and- most direct taxes ; but it must nut
be eXpeeted that any diminution of expence can
take place to meet the general evil fully and fair-
ly. FIFTY 1 LLI.ONS must be raised to pay the

no more right to redirce the rate of funded lore-
test, now that things are becoming cheap, than
the fundholders. had to Insist upon a higher in-
terest, -because the necessaries of life were deiir.
The only savings then that can arise, must be
in the annual expenditure, which is estimated, at
present' at least, as fluctuating bet wren TwENTY-
FIVE aritrrkill:TY MILLIONS pee -a m• Bin the

being taken annually out, of. the Anarket. It is
