FINANCE.

A very extenfive Plan of Finance is preparing by
the Minifler to be fubmitted to the judgment of
Parliament. We muleritand, from good authoti.
ty, that, in this important andertalung, Mr. Au.
DINGTOII receives frequent afliflance from Mr.
Parr, who has employed his hours of retirement
in the attentive confideration of the meafure.

-
The objeas in view are, to avoid altogether a
loan for the payment of the prefent arrears of the
public fervice ; to redeem the old and new Fire
per Cents. and, at the fame time, to lay the foun.
dation of the gradual redemption of the Fours r
thus leaving no other Rock than the Three per
Vent. Confols. and Three per Cent. Reduced.

To drat objeas of fuch great national impor.
Lance, and to raife the neceffary (tams, it is laid
that the remaining part of the Land Tar, not al-
ready purchafed, is to be put up torah (agreeable
to the original idea of Mr. Purr), under the diree.„
Lion of the Commiffioners appointed for that pur.
pole, precifely in the fame manner as efiates are
fold, with the referve, that no land tar flail be
fold under a certain number of years purchafe
the county, and fituation of the laud, in come de.
gree, to guide the Conuniffioders in their eflimate.
A certain depofit to be made by the purchafer
immediately, and the remaining films to be paid
at given periods. A liberal difcount to be allow.'
led on prompt payment,' and the receipts to be
transferable an the fame manner that fcript receipts
are transferred? The growing land tax to be re-
ceived by Government until the whole put chafe.
money is paid, when an abatement of what was
due from the date of the flit infialment in the
land tax receipts is to be returned. The land tax
not purchafed is raid to amount to a fum 9ual to
forty millions of three per cent. flock. It is very
natural to conclude, that every man paying laud.
tax will endeavour to become the purchafer of it,
particularly when he finds it expofed to public
title, and fubjed to the controul of anotliet indivi-
dual. Each purchafer of land, it is faid, is to be'
entitled to all the advantages or privileges of a
Freeholder.

The other part of this Plan of Finance we under-
hand to be the Talc by Lottery of all the Crosert
Lands, and others, on which no individual claim
can beeltablithed. The tickets to he tool. each;
and two prizes to one blank; no prize to exceed.
Soo acres, and none to be lower than five : a given
number of tickets only to be iffued at certain fixed
periods, and thefe to ezprefs the diftrift thus on;
Pale; by which means the market for them will'
never be overloaded, and a fure rule is expeCted to:
be found for them. The proUability of poffeiling
a large }rad of land for the (mall (urn of iccl.
will, it is thought, induce alrnoft every man who
can (pare that rum to try his fortune. Indcpend•
ently of thus eafily throwing fo large afum as thie
'part of the plan is expected to produce into the
hands of the Government, the very defirable ob.
je4 of redncing the price of provilions will thus, b
a very great tneafure, be effeaed, as every man
will be amens to waste the molt of his land, aid
to bring It into the higheft ;soak Rate of colti•
station; and ~re (hall nein feel/nail farms Rattered
over the country, where at prefent there are nn.
thing but walla 4oatateas.
The immenfefurneari fing from thefe two fon rev
will, it is expeeled,not only render it unneceirary to
borrow any more money, but they will throw into
the hands of Government many millions fterling,
voluntarily given, as it were, without any addi-
tional taxation.
A fimilar Plan for the relief of Ireland, as far
a; .regards the wage lands; it is raid, is alfo in a
Rate of great forwardnefs.
