Honourable Baronet, to have the Refolutions printed,
with a view to their being taken into confider/16°n

Baronet would not have any objeCtion to letting them
lie on the Table till the Bills founded on his Refolu- '
tions fhould be before the Houfe. That it appeared
to him to be the mon convenient time for difcuffing
them, and he hoped to be able, in a very few days, to

Means of the Year, when he fhould, in the perfor-
mance of his duty, be called upon to Rate the terms

A Dutch journal of Wednefday cr Thurfc !aft
is reported to have been received by a mercantile
houfe in the City, which contains the 56th Bulletin
o f the French army. This Bulletin relates to the ac-
tion of the 4th ult. and claims the vi&ory for the
Fiend), but does not reprefent the number of pri-
toners and cannon taken to be fo great as Hated in the
P?fin Gazette. We have not teen the Dutch paper
alluded to, nor do we know by what houfe it has been
received.

Difpatches were yenerday received by Government
from Mr. PIERRIFOIN T, and from the Marquis of
DOUGLAS, at Sr. Peter!burgh. The latter are dated
the loth of February.—The fubnance of them we
nndernand to be an earneft recommendation on the
part of Lord Hurcminson, feconded by a dire&
Imperial Communication, that a fpeedy and liberal
affittance fhould be given to the King of Pett;sta.—
The fame report adds, that from the lois of its ma
viines, and its rapid and fudden retreats, the army
of his Pruffan Majelty is Coffering under the greaten
dinrefs ; and thus rendered unable to a& with Os
accullomed vigour and efficacy againn the common
enemy.
We are lorry to fay, that the fame intelligence
proceeds to nate, that, fiom the caufes previoufly
affigned, a principal divilion of the ;'ruffian army,
f the Silefian levy), amounting to no lets than 60,000
men, hAJ been unable to join.
We undertiand it to be the refolutien of Govern
ment to grant an immediate Subfidy, proportioned
to the petting emergency ; and we have teafon to
believe that this Sublidy will be followed by one, to
she frill as liberal, to the Emperor of Ruffia. The
agricultural nate of thee two Powers is Inch as is '
::l calculated to fupport a protraded war. Their
r-pulation fupplies the armies with men; but their
(rurrecee is unequal to she fupport of taxes, which
ate 10 necelfary for fupplies of another kind.
In many parts of Pruilia, and more parti-
cularly of Rufria, all rents are taken in kind; the
mon inconfidetable tax, therefore, is railed with
difficulty; and they can be made to contribute no-
thing to immediate fervice. It is neeeffary that this
N diiiinaion fhotrld be remembered, in order to recon-
cile the apparent incontinency of countries fo opulent
in natural refources as Ruffia and Pruffia, (landing
.
in nzed of Englifh Subfidies. The apparent incon-
-1
!;:lencv diftypears in a moment, front an attention
lo their prominent line of difEarence—England is a
commercial country, Ruflia and Pruffia agricultural.
In England there is a great circulation of money,
11 ‘.! An son Nels commercial interchange. This is the

. • .
proper 48 of taxation, and roavee of, natinntt
Iwealth, as far as it confab' in money. In Raffia
`there is little interchange ; the peafantryw and even
hufbandry, live almoll wholly on the foil ; they pay
I their rents in kind ; they have corn, but they have
nb money. Hence, in this point of view, the corn.
Iparative poverty of Ruflia and Pruflia.
