not be necessary to attenlp. tto COntintie the kyeriT
Tax beyond the year for which it is at preseLt gr.n.
ted; but as other Taxes may be necessary, I gtve
notice, that I shall move, early in the nest S,Asi,,n of
Parliament, with a view of impressing the subj..er gut
the minds of his Majesty's Ministers, That it is the
opinion of tins House, that the principle of graning
to his Majesty a distinct duty or tax on the prop.:rty
of his Majesty's subjects, during their residence in fo-
reign countries not under the sovereignty of his Ma•
jesty, is perfectly fair arid equitable, provided a pro-
portional abatement be made for such parts of other
duties or taxes granted to his Majesty as shall be paid
out of such property during- such absence from his
Majesty's dominions."
