TUE BUDGET.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
rose and said, that on the present occasion he should
content himself with stating the several sums neces-
sary to be raised for the service of the year, and then
with giving the amount of the Ways and Means by
which they were to meet the exigencies of the coun-
try. And first, he should begin Stith the Supplies.
He estimated the expenses of the Navy for the pre,
sent year, (exclusive of the ordnance sea service,) at
£l/3,7864509, The Army, including Ireland, with
Barracks and Commissariat, would be £18,121.,17`.i.
The Extraordinaries for England, for the current
year, he calculated at £9,000,000, and those of Ire-
land at £200,000, amounting both together to
£9,200,000. It would be necessary, however, to
raise a farther sum of £6,350,132, to make good the
deficiency under the same head left unprovisied for
in the last year. The Ordnance, including Ireland,
was estimated at £5,955,658. The Miscellaneous
Service of the year, he should state at 4'2,500,000.
'file Vote of Credit amounted to £3,200,000, Irelane
taking £200,000 of it.. To this were to be added
£3,000,000, already voted, and another vote of
£1 200,000, which he should have to bring forward
before the close of the Session to defray the subsidies
to our Allies, become due or payable in the courSe of
the year. There was also ancther million in bills of
credit. The whole amount of the joint charge for
England and Ireland was 467,313,479. This esti,
mate was certainly very high for the expenses of
what might be regarded as a peace establishment ;
but it was to be recollected, that the first part of the
year had been passed in a state of war, and of e,,er.
tion beyond any former period. We had still also a
powerful enemy to Contend with, (America) ; consi-
derable expenses must be incurred in order to catry
on the contest with vigour and effect. Tlie it
charges for England were Ai1,320 for die
Loan ; interest on Exchequer Bills, WI,900,(100 ; in-
terest on Debentures, £49,750 ; the Grant to the
Sinking Fund for unprovided Exchequer Bills,
0290000; and £6,000,000 for the repayment of
Exchequer Bills. The whole of these separate charges
amounted to £8,311,100, which, added to the for-
mer joint estimate, made the sum of .£75,6`2i,572.
The proportion of the joint charge to be furnished by.
Ireland was £7,919,23'2 ; and for the. Civil List and
consolidated Fund, e'.187,136.2; so that there re.,
.mained a total expense for England of fe67,517,,178.1
—To meet tla> ;barge, Parliament had granted
AC341014000 An. Annual .D.utica ; 410,500,000 for
War Taxes; the Lottery, ,C 200,000; Vote of Credit,
£3,OXOWOO; the English proportion of Naval Store'.
43061515 ; the 6rst Loan, £22,000,000; and the se-
cond, which had been this day aunt-acted for,
rt 15,500,000 ; in all amounting to £47,708,545.

•
The Ri,s•At Honoarahie Gentleman here stated, that
he shoulduot take credit for any sum to be miseclost
the Cone:Mated Fund, which had fallen so far short
of the expmtatioos entertained from it. The greatest'
deficiency ef the last year had fallen on the Cus.
thms ; but,from the destruction of the perers by the
fire, when the Custom-house urethan% it had dot
been poisibb to 'ascertain under what heads the defi-
ciency hai arisen.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
then proceeded to take a detailed view of the vela.
rive increase or diminution of different sources of re-
venue in the two preceding years. We understood
him to state, that in the customs there had been a de-
ficiency in the last ,year of between 1$ and 14 hun-
dred thoumnd pounds. In the Excise Duties, on the
contrary, here was an increase of dearly a million.
The Ducks on Beer were nearly equal in the twc
years, 1613 and 1614. -On the article of Malt there
was an increase from £4,444,000 t0,C4,875.000. Bri-
tish Spirits rad produced in the year 1819 £2,600,000
and in 1814 P 2,900,000. On Foreign Spirits there
was an inconsiderable rise. The Wine Duties had
increased frcm £900,000 to £1,500,000: and the
duties on Tea from £1,100,000 to £1,200,000. The
Stamp Office produced in 1813 five millions and a
half, and considerable more in the last year. The
Post-Office had also been more productive. The As-
sensed Taxes had increased from 85,518,000 to
£E6,339i000. The Land Tax had diminished from
£l,tlfilltoo to 51,069,00 e. The Property Tax risen
from tweltye to fourteen millions. He had thus given
a general' statement, which he thought the more
desirable mode, without entering into any distinc-
tion as to the War Taxes and Consolidated Fund.
With respect to the revenue of the Consolidated
Fund, there remained, of the present pear, a surplus
of one million and a half, though, from setae deduc-
tions that remained to be made, it could hardly be
estimated, at so much. The same unfortunate event,
to which he had already alluded, as preventing him
from making up any exact returnsof the dAsstoass tor
the last year, had also rendered it impossible for him
to give a precise account of the navigation assd trade
for the same period; but from such mutilated docu V
ments as he had been enabled to collect, he felt him..
self warranted in stating, as a general proposition.
that the exports of the last year bad very considera-
bly exceeded those of the most flourishing year at any
former period. It now only remained for him to state
to the Committee the terms upon which the loan for
the km-vice of the present year had been concluded.
From the general European peace. (he wished he
could say the general peace) that had been so hap-
pily brought *bow, Ministers had reason to expect
favourable terms, and he uas happy to add, rea-
*nable terms had been obtained. The total amount
of the loan for the service of the 'year 1814, was
ie24,000,000, being £18,500,000 for England, and
5e5,500,000 for Ireland. flie terms were, for every
£lOO sterling subscribed, 880 in the reduced 3 per
cents. 430 in the navy 5 per cents. and an. 10s.
'in the I per cent. consols. In order to diminish the
capital stock, part of the loan had beer. taken in th,
5-per cents. by.aviiich proceeding an amount of act-
atonal capital, not lesi than lour millions, woulerbe
saved to the public. For the first time also, it had .
been stipulated that instead of granting arrears of in-
terest, the interest WAS to run from nest July gaily,
.thus making /1 deduction of nearly n in the 5 per
cents. and lk in the consolidated fund.' It might be
calculated, therefore, that the public would remain
charged with the yeaily interest of /14. 12s. Id. per
'cent. upon the present loan. The bonus to the con-
tractors was £3. Ts. The loan that had been taken
before Christrnas was taken at £5. Os. per cent. the
,m
tprovement in the value of the funds, therefore, since
that period, was obvious. So remarkably, indeed,
had the funds risen, in consequence of the signature
of peace, that had the loan been closed on the day
'of bidding, it would have made the difference nt
£1,500,000 in stock against the public, but which
was now in their favour, by the conclusionn, of the
lean on that day instead of last Wednesday. The
total amount of diminution between the present loan
and that raised before Christmas was Al. las. per
cent. On the whole, he flattered himself, that the
loan had been concluded on terms not entavcsurabie
to the public interest—(Near. ) : A
The usual resolutions were then read,
' Mr. GRENFELL rose to inquire whether he had
understood his Right Hon. Friend correctly, that any
discussion upon the question then before them was to
come on at a future period?
The cHANcELLOR, of the EXCHEQUER
replied that he certainly meaat to renew the discus.
' sion on a future occasion ; but that he was willing to
attend to any observations that might be offered by
any member.
Mr. GRENFE,LL said, that he should wish to
make a very few observations at present, reserving to
himself the privilege of adding other observations on
the regular day of the discussion of those resolutions.
He was much surprised that his Right Hon. Friend
should net have at least secured sume part of the
new loan to be secured on the sinking fund; he was
still more surprised by the manner in which he ac-
counted (or not doing so, by reference to the opinioi:s
of the bidders for the loan. Did he expect that they
would adviM him to apply to the sinking fund ? it r.
he did, he was cenvinced that no other Member et

taming the most favourable terms for the public, was
by consulting in some degree the feelings of those who
were co hid for the loan.
Mr. HUSKISSON expressed his hope, that at
least before the end of the Session, a general view of
the financial situation of the country, and Of its means
to support-its peace establishment, would be laid be-
fore the House. He should abstain from any obser-
venom lt present,• and content himself with putting
in his claim to state his opinions when the regular pe-
riod of discussion should arrive.. ,
Mr. PONSONBY observed, that the Right Hon.
Gentleman had said nothing at all about the pro-
perty tax, which by law existed till the sth of April
next. The Right Hon. Gentleman appeared to have
no intention isf interfering with the law. The time,
indeed, of the signature of the Treaty had been most
lucky for the Right Hon. Gentleman ; for if the de-
finitive Treaty had been signed. iu the month of
March, the law would have eipired on the sth. of
last April, and he would have lost hii tax. It the
Right Hon. Gentleman thought it wise now to take
advantage of the law that continues the.proPterty tax
W the sth of next April, he might undoubtedly do
so; but be could not avoid expressing his hope; that
in the mimonths that would pass over before that
term, he would resolve not to continue the tax any
Whet. He cotshiered that there was an understood
compact between Parliantent and the nation that this
tai 'should only continue during the war. lie
thought that to Induce the people to pay their taxes
cheerfully and 'frith good humour, it would be for
the Public interest that the compact sliosild be kept,
and the tax not to be continued Ad. the war. He
trusted, however, that .after the sth of April next no
more property tat would be levied on the people of
this country.
