THE BUDGET.

The Houk having refolved itfelf into a Com-
mittee of the whole Houfe, to confider of Ways
and Nlcans for railing the Supply granted to his
Majell y,
The CH ASCU TOR of the EXCHIVER addreffed
the Committee to the following etre& :—" Sir,
‘Vhatever may be the refiedions that prefent them-
fclves to my mind at the prefent moment, I fhall
aloiain from all allulions to any fubjca but that•
which mote immediately calls for the attention of
the Committee. As lam well awi.re that 1 !hall
nand in need of the indulgence of the Houk, I
feel myfelf the more jultitied in purliting that lire
of condo& ; and in confining myLlf to the tepic•
to which I am to call your attention, I fhall not
dwell upon many important and fatisfaclory con-
fiderations arifing out of the actual (late of public
affairs. It is, Sir, .having marked out this mode
of proceeding, my tint duty to remind the Houfe
of the Votes of Supply which bay,: been already
agre:d to. The amount of that fur the Navy, the
incip.t! article of the Supplies voted previous
thl. day, for the fervice of the prefent year, I,
taken, ckelulive of Ordnance for the fervice.
•7,770,3961. The Supply for the Army, for Great
Britain, 6043,zc4.1.; and for Ireland, 1,520,13€1
los. sd. making together fur the At my Ettablilli-
inent of both countries., the
.funt of 7,708,3341.

toe. II This rum I mill, Sir, tilscore if, how-
ever, to be conficle.red as a lupply for five n:onth
only. In the Oritlancedepartment :lie liini voted
for Gteat Britain is 829,1014 and for befall...
125.0001. which give a total of-95400:1. Linde,
the head of Mikellama's Services, I find that the
Vote for Great Britain amounts to 26;„4821.; thai
for Inland to 168,2071. iss. 01. which, taken to.
'ether, make a fum of 423,091. I SS. old. Fl,t
the redu.flion of the N itional Debt there is the
onto:nary vote of 200.CC0.; for the Corn Bonn
ties 1,623,2t51. ; and for the deficiency of the
Malt Duties, for the year t ecu, the lung of 4.00,0001.
With refpeft to tie Interell on Exchequrr
Difeount on the Loan, and die ievu.ll luan•l
which art enumerated in the Difpnfition Paper, I
eltimatq the u hole amount at 1,137,0731. .1.01
pals off tire Exchequer Pills in the potTellion of the
Bank, a further fum to the amount of 3,c00,0c01.
is requilite; and in ender to fupply the deficiency
of 1,200,0001. voted for the fervice of the tear
1801, out of the Duties granted on goods import-
ed and exported, there is to be further added
410,0cc1. The read amount of the Civil Lilt
Debt is 990,0531. ; and that, if Gentlemen will
take the trouble to call up the different fonts
of the Supply, they will find them giving a to-
tal of x6,614.,4301. 6s. ; and of this total,
the amount of the fums voted for Great Bri-1
tain is 22,806,0921. and that for Ireland 008,3381.1
There tcmains to be voted for the Deficiency
of the Confolidated Fund, to the sth of April,'
the fum of 3,100,0001. Thus, Sir, it will ap-
pear that thole branches of the Public Servic-,
confuting of the Navy, Army, Ordnance, and Mil-
cellaneous Services, have been regularly brought
forward under the head of Supply ; but Nye have
Rill to provide for them with refpeei to (even
months more. Yet, under the prefent circum-i
fiances of the country, it is not my intention to
propofe any arrangement to the Houfe. I can,
however, undertake to allure Gentlemen, and to
pledge myfelf 'iron the fubjeft, that in the Army
and Navy Eitablithment .every poffible retrench-'
ment than be cat ried into the fpeedielt effeft ; and
I can further add, that much has been already
done in thefe points to lighten the burdens of the i
public. Government has already dune, and will
continue to do,every thing that is continent with the
rules of prudence, and the folid fyitem of fecurity.
The Houle will more particularly undo-Ruud me,
that thefe burdens cannot altogether be alleviated,
continently with prudence, when I mention the
propriety of continuing them until the Ratification
of the Definitive Treaty, of which, thank Gan
I do not fee the lean legion to entertain a doubt.
Having thus Rated the Supplies for five 'months,
a provifion for the remaining feven month, will
become the lubjed of future confoleration.
