The Houle, on the motion of the Chancellor of the

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
then role and fpoke in Cubßance :—I rife. Sir, for
the purpofe of listing to the Committee the Ways and
Items for railing the Supplies which have already
been voted, or are very fpeedily to be fubmitted to
Parliament. The duty I feel to be arduous and im-
portant, and I tea, I (ball receive from the Com-
mittee that indulgence I (hall require. In fubmitting
the Ratements of the Ways and Means, however,
compared with the Supply. I do not mean to detain
the Committee with any length of obfervation, or of
(peculation on the financial fituation of the country,
both becaufe lam unwilling to tut-pals on the pa-
tience of the Committee, and 'becaufe any fpecula•
Lion of mine would be of little importance, compared
with the feat which may be laid before them. At
the fame time I am delimits to be ample in the nate.
merit of fats, on which Gentlemen will be enabled
to form their own judgment. It is for this reafon
that I (ball depart a little from the pradlice which has
prevailed of late, and preface what I have to (übmit
with a view of the alual fituation of the country as
to its financial concerns. I (hall therefore proceed
to lay before the Houle a Ratement of thefe objeCts,
and I requelt the Committee will bear it in mind and
apply to it the more immediate fubjca of the Refo-
lutions with which I (hall conclude.

comparifon It appeared that on the Heads of Et-

Barraclis.te. the Untunded Debt o 9 the tftof Ja-
nuary, 1806, was greater than in January, 'got,
by 3.130.ew0l of the Unfunded Debt. In review-
ing the income of the year t Boy, it appeared that
the Intereft and Charges upon the Lonlolidated

That the Income was

His Lordthip, after going through this narement
proceeded to point nut the beneficial operations of,
the Sinking Fund. Were I, continued he, to venture
giving any opinion of mine to confirm the impreffiin
which a review of what the Sinking Fund has already
effeeted muff produce, I ihntild fay. that had it not
been for the Sinki,,g Fttnd we Mould now have been
loaded with the whole charges now borne by the
enuntry, without deriving any of its advantages,
bccaufe filch, if we could have borrowed at all, it,
would have been on bail terms, and we Ihnuld have
created more debt to obtain that, which, through the
Sinking Fund, we have obtained on more favourable
terms. The Sinking Fund over and above that it
leadv to the extintgion of the debt, has been a laying
of the burden, while it has feemed to increafe. Inde-
pendently then of the obligations ofgnod faith which
Mould lead us to Afore even difadvantageous con-
tratts, we ate lcd by die enjoyment of the tWoft folid

benefits, and by real meonomy, to a perfeveranee in
that fyflem from which they have flowed.
His Lordbip then proceeded to lay before the
Houfe a Statement of the Expenditure of
amounting, under the ufoal items, to 43,639,8001.
He then proceeded—Having laid before the Houle
thofe Statements of our financial lituaticn, by a re-
view of our debt, our income and expenditure, I (hall
now recapitulate the Supplies of the prefeut year,
