REDUCTION OF THE TAXES.

EniToe—Will you permit a plain man,
‘‘l,li understands little of Finance, and only
taows that•he participates in a heavy burthen ut
'Taxation, to suggest a Plan that has occurred to
for its gradual relief ?
• I assume that the National Property is pledge,'
fur the National Debt., This is effected by Taxa
166; but so far as concerns the Interest only.—
'The Principal is considered as an imaginary thing
hs a debt never to be paid unless by the slow ope
ration of the Sinking Fund. The Interest, how-
tver, must be regularly discharged, and the Taxes
'are required_for its payment.
lam no alarmist, Sir. I am neither disaffect
ed nor discontented. Yet I should wish to t:ee
the load of Taxation lessened ; and I think that
it might be, by a very simple process. Statesmen
and Philosophers may argue upon its possible
inconvenience to our posterity ; but I really
think we are in a state which justifies a prefer-
ling care of ourselves. In our so doing, poste-
thy will experience the best proof of our regard,
and of our Avistions.

The present system is, to pay the Interest of
the National Deht, aiul leave the Principal until-
Minished. My proposition is, to pay the Princi-
pal of the Debt, and thereby the Interest will di-
I inish itself.. Thus

Let the Government create a Paper Security
far' the amount of one (pArter of the National
heht, guaranteed, as the Debt itself is, in sums
Trout one pound to one hundred, and to he a le-
Ralized tender in all payments. Let this he paid
la every Stockholder, in cancellation of one
-quarter of his Stock, will; three month's intcrest
in advance ; so that he will have no cause of com-
Plaint at this sudden payment of his money—if,
indeed, a Creditor can ever complain at being
aid_aud svift have fair time to look about tor
its proper laying out. By this measure, the
Stockholder will not receive one penny short of
Otis die, hut rill retain for the negociable paper
which is paid to him, the same security which he
liosil,oltls, and the means of turning it to account
business or otherwise. The oation too, while
use still continues bound for no larger sum than
at present is charged upon her, will be relieved of
'one quaver of its interest.

Suppose the Interest of the National Debt,
speaking in round numbers, to be forty millions ;
the payment (or change in the nature of its se-
curity) of one-quarter of its principal will strike
off one quarter of its interest ; awl tea millions
will thereby be reduced from the present yearly
'taxation. This vast reduction will leave the Nr-
tiament at liberty to repeal or to lessen those
taxes which, press. most heavily on the lower
orders.

That no inconvenience will arise to the Fund-
holders, or to the Public, from this
isudden pay-
Meru, or from the large accession of negociable
Paper, 1 do not assert ; but the Public in general,
lind even the Fundholtlers themselves, will find
the inconvenience more than balanced by the
annihilation of so many taxes, and the conse=
Tient tranquillity and prosperity.

My System, in a word, is this.—Turn a dead'
capital, bearing interest, into .4 living capital open
to its possessor's we'rither wholly or in part, and
consequently not healing interest. The good of
such a plan is evident and immediate. The evil
et it is remote, anti possible only. Were it ever
so certain, it is not in times like these to be put
In competition with its good.

PRUDE `S.

In our Paper of yesterday, our Express from
Manchester enabled us to state, that the extent
and vto,tr of the precautions taken by the
tlagistrates, had deterred the disaffected from
h; tempting to carry their outrageous designs
into e> e.mtion. Our accounts last tight are of
rtie same description, and all remains perfectly
tranquil in that quarter. From Yorkshire our
ordvices are egrodly satisfactory. The civil and
precautions in that county, as well as
in Lancashire, were of such a narure that the
Radical Rebels did not dare to assemble ; and as
the new Legislative measures will Shortly become
operative, we nosy reasonably hope and expect
that Treasim and Sedition are on the eve being
