At the time the Income Tax was impofed, it was
calculated that 80,000,0001. annually might be the
property-of the country; but it is propelled that a
greater mars of property ill mid be included in the
operation of the prefent execute. The ComesittLe
will, I doebt not, concur with me, in thinking that
every fpeeies of property ought to be made to contri-
bute to the pox:lit:li of the State. FunilecLproperty,
though protefted by public faith from any &panne
.4nd direa charge, oupht to be of effed equally with
every other. It will be nne tithe objeas of the pre-
fent meafnre to effca this. It is pro d, however,
in the 6tf inßance' that all perfoes baying property
in the funds fhould make returns to theCommifftoners
where they refit', (and the CommiSeners will be con-
Sit uted with particular reference to this end), Rating
what property they have in the hinds, in order to its
being edified along with their abet means. If they
do not make loch return to the Comeniffioners, it will
be prefumed that they wave their right to do fo, and
that they coolest to their being rated 51. per cent. on
their dividends, which will then be made aufwerable
accordingly. It is to be ohlerved, however, that this
mode of atfeflement will be entirely optional. It is
underftood, however, that all foreigners not refident
in this country &all be entirely exempted from the
tax, and that their agents will be entitled to tecewe
their dividends without any dednaion.

I am lure, indeed, that the Iloufe mule ever be fort-)
when h. numable and public fpiri,.ed men, who come
forward to atsll the nation, futfer any lois from their
zeal to promote its fervice. There .tre few intianccs
in which loans have been contracted far on terms
snore beneficial to the public. Two there are of more
favourable terms, in 1799 and in 1800. In the one
there was, according to the price of (Locks at the time,
a&ually a premium to Government of 6-7 f. and in
the other of to. But what were the circumftances
in which fuch favourable terms were obtained? It
was at the commencement of the plan for railing a
confiderable part of the fupplies within the year, firft
when the A&lfed Taxes were tripled, and next when
the Income Tax was impofed. It was to the confi-
dence which thole meafures infpired, to the aid they
gave to public credit, that fuch Lavontahle terms
are to be aferibed. Seeing then the benefit of that
fyßem of railing a confiderable part of the fupplies
within the year, it remains for us to adhere to it in the
certainty of deriving from it fimilar advantages.

Towards- making provifion for this Turn, it is my
intention, in the &ft place, to attempt what has long
beets held very defirable, Tome alteration in the mode
of Collection of the Receipt Tax, and by which I
hope a contiderable additional revenue will be gained
without any inconvenience to the public. It is my
intention that the perfun paying money (hall be entit-
led to demand, fiont the perinn t• whom he pays a
receipt, the duty on which in no cafe (ball be lefs than

But of the above War Taxes it is expeaed that only
4,500,000 L can be made available within the year.
With refpeft to Exchequer Bills, it has been propo-
fed that Parliament (hould authorife the Are of five
millions Exchequer Bills, in aid of I go+ to replace
a limilar rum withdrawn. At the end of the prefent
year the amount of Exchequer Bills outhanding will
be ten millions.

The Committee mull have fen what is the great
objca which I have in view, in propofing the great
facrifices which the taxes I have Alluded to mutt ne-
caittily involve. My objet is, and I have no diffi-
culty in Paying that I with it clearly to be under-
flood, to taife as large a proportion as poffible of the
Supplies neceffary for the public fervice in the courfe
of the year. The extent to which I am anxious that
this principle should be carried, is, that during the
progrefs of the war no accumulation whatever Ihould
take place in the amount of the public debt. It is
my with that an eiiimate of the espence. of the year
lho rid be I rmed on a fair and extended view of the
exertions which we are called on to make, and that
the loan-to be contracted for should not be greater
than the Commitlioners for liquidating the /gational
Debt pares the means of dithihuting for the extinc-
tion of that debt. With the eitablithment of fuch a
fyilem, I have not only reafon to hope that there
would be no accretion of the Public Debt for one
particolar year, but I have no reafon for fuppofing,
that unlefs extraordinary circumliances occurred, this
fyftem might not, even during a long 'conteil, be
:teed upon with fitccefs. As I have noted before,
Sir, I think that the fum of 26 millions, which I am
convinced would be adequate to every exertion we
can be called on to make, and amply fufficient for
every national °tied, could be railed without at all
interfering with the fyllem on which I have thought
it my duty to propofe the very great increafe of the
public burtheas which I now fubmit to the Commit.
tee. When 1 Isy this, I do not think that I proceed
on grounds which are likely to lead me to erroneous
conclufions. On the contrary, the principles on which
I hold out to the Committee this expettation, are
fimple and intelligible to every man who chutes to ex.
ercife reflation on the fubjeft. If I have a right to pre.
fume that the furplus of the Confolidated Fund will be
fix millions five hundred thoufand pounds, as I have
every reaftm to believe it will be; it the taxes whieleit is
propofed to raife within the year (hall raife the rum
of twelve millions five hundred thoufand pounds, as
I think there is the bet grounds for anticipating that
they will do, then the Committee can have no diffi-
culty in believing that the profiled which I hold out
is not of a delufire nature, but one which will be
jellified by experience. But, Sir, were I even to
grant that the amount of the Taxes would be much
refs than I have calculated,were Ito allow that they
would fall short of my calculation by two millions
five hundred tisoufand pounds, I will contend, that
even with the profpelt of the continuance of the pre.
fent contea for a feries of years, there would be no
necelhity for a loan of more than fix millions. I wills
to prefs on the attention of theCommi t tee the rounds
or. which I think myfelf juaified in holding out this
expeaation, and unleft circumaances, 'pistil which
it is impoffible to make any fpecific provilion, and,
which in holding out filch an expedation, I have, to
a eoofiderable degree anticipated, I am confident,
that thole expatations will be fully realifid. I Rate
therefore, cliftinaly, that with taxes confiantly becom-
ing more produaive, with a furplus on the confo:i-
dated fund gradually increafing, the profpea which
I hold out cannot, unlefs coonteraeed by eireurollan.
en of the nature to which 1 have sow alluded, fail to
be fully confirmed. That ender the eireuntaanea
itt'which the country is plootsluthis [yeas of pro-

riding for the eOgeneiei of,the pubic fervice, with. '
out adding to the public elan, ought to be purfued,
I believe will be eniverfally admitted, and the more
its erleCts are coofidered, the more will it be allowed,
that in every point of view it is fuperior to, he fund-
ing fyftem. Confidering the matter merely in a pe-
cuniary way, I am falisfied that even ten minutes
refleiftion will be fufficient to convince any Gentle-
man, in applying merely the principles of arithme-
tical calculation, that the plan of railing the fopplics
within the year, is under every consideration pre-
ferable to the funding fyftem. If lateen millions is
the firm neceffary to be railed for the public fervice,
it will, in a vet y [bort period, be found that the dif-
ference of providing for this fum by taxes to exift in
perpetuity. or by lupplies to be railed within the year,
in point of pretfure, very loon be found to be incou-
fiderable, while the importance of not allowing the
national debt to accumulate, was matter of the
cleareli experience. This is a pofition In clear, that
I do not think it neceffary for me to take up much
of the time of the Committee in attempting to
eflablifh it. We found, Sir, its beneficial conk-
quences during the loft years of the late arduous
cnntett in which the country was engaged. No
fooner was it adopted, than its effeEts on the funds
were experienced to a degree which it is not now
neceffery for me to remind the Committee. There
effofls were inflantaneous,ani they were alfo perm*.
neat. Indeed, it is in the nature of the plan to pro.
duce refpeCt abroad, and confidence at home. The
adoption of it cannot fail at all times, but particu-
larly at a moment like the preterit, to fhew to tht
Government of France that any attempt to conquer
this. Country, by a war nn our finanCes, is a liopelefs
conteft ; that it is out of the power of any enemy to
break the national fpirit by fuch attempts, and mull
end in difappointment ; that whatever be the emer-
gency in which we are placed, we pads ample re-
fources to meet it with firmnefs, with energy and (tw-
eets. The etre& of this on the powers of Europe mull
be powerful. It mull thew them that, in affociating
with this Country, in making a common cattle with
us in any great emergency, they incur no danger, but
unite their exertions with a people who pads at once
the fpirit and the mcans adequate to the fupport of a
great Itruggle. But the plan on which I propofe to
rade fo very confiderable a part of the fupplies within
the year is not new i.i the hiftory of this Country in
former times. Even loon after the time when the
funded fyftem was introduced, in the reigns of even
William and Anne, the importance of railing as great
a portion of the public revenue within the year was
well enough underilood. Even at that period taxes
were with this view impofed,and the wages of fervants
were not exempted from their operation. In contem-
plating the continuance of this fy item, it cannot fail to
afford fatisfaCtion to every Gentleman, that the pro-
fpeEt of its fuccefsful application is not of an illufory
kind. Let Gentlemen look at the amount of the per-
manent taxes impnfed before the war in 1792, and,
as they ezift at the prefent moment. In 1792 the •
permanent taxes amounted to fourteen millions two
hundred and eighty-two thoufand pounds. and, on
the sth of April 1803, they were fifteen million nine
hundred and ninety-four thoufand pounds. Thus, in
eleven years there had been an increafe of one million
feven hundred thoufand pounds. But, Sir, this is
not all. The taxes impofed during the war have not •
been lefsproduitive. They have, fake the period of
their being Unwired, greatly exceeded the amount at,
which they were originally calculated. This I Rate
generally, and I beg leave particularly to advert tot
the taxes impofed lag year. When I explained what,
were my views of the probable amount of the taxes,
which I then brought forward as part of the ways,
and means of the year, I took them at a million three
hundred thoufand pounds. There is now, Sir, the'
ftrongelt reatbn for believing that in this calculation
I was very confiderably below what experience bas
proved to be their a!tual amount. I believe, Sir, I
am not going too far, when I fay that their amount'
will turn nut to be little Ihort of five millions. At a
period like the prefent, it is a circumftance which
cannot fail to afford the higbell fatisfaftion that every
thing conneUed with the belt interells, every thing
effential to the fupport of the Rate ezifted and ope-
rated in full vigour. It is not loft year alone that this,
general improvement is apparent. It is an improve-
ment which has been going on gradually from year
to year. The commerce, the navigation, the menu-
faatires of the country have been all equally advanc-
ing and acquiring new energy and ftrength. The ac-
counts which, beyond the poffibility of doubt. eltab-
lifh this improvement, are now on your table, and
whoever is difpoled to doubt what I have been af-
fecting has only to refer to them for a folution of
thefe doubts. In addition to all thefe animating'
confiderations we have, Sir, what I mull ever con-
fider as the Sheet Anchor of the State, the folid, and
continually augmenting fund for the eztinCtion of the
motional debt. Its operation is not only to direffed, as
by the adoption of the fyftem which I have this even-
ing had the honour to fubntit to the Committee, to
prevent the accumulation of debt, but even during a
war in which we are called on to make great facrifices,
to hold out a reafonable profpeti of its &radnal dimi-
nution. I conies, Sir, that in propofing trusplan I pro-
poled one which could not fail to operate with fevere
mime on all ranks of the community. I am con-
vinced. however, Sir, that at a moment like the re-
lent, there are none who are not willing to bear their
part of the burthens which a conceit like that in
which we are now involved fo ftrongly requires. No
man can be lets difpofed than I am to propole any Inca-
fare, the etre& of which mull be to diminifh the com-
forts of the labouring clef es of the community. I
will, however, Sir, do the peafantry of this Country
the jußiee to fay, that I believe they are fully convin-
ced of the ju thee of the contell in which they are en-
gaged, that in defence of the honour and the hide,
pendence of their Country, they are ready to fulstnit
to fevere privations. They ore not unaware that the
queftion now is, whether this Country (ball continue
independent and free, or whether it than fink into a
Rate of difgracefel vaffalage to France, and (well
the catalogue of thole States whole liberty and tide
pendeace have total y perifhed under Gallic domina-
tion? I will not fo far intuit the people of this Coun-
try as to fuppofe that they are inkable of the nature
and confequenees of the &niggle in which we are en-
gaged. I truß that they will not thew themfelves de-
ficient in the fpirit fuited to the cireumflances in which
they are placed. I trult they will thew thernfeives
worthy of being recognized as the countrymen of thofe
bares who cowperod with Abercrambi: 4t Akin-

hotrever, one corf )lation, that I have endeavoured
as far as porno:: to diffure this pa tiro ,c equally among
all ranks in the community. It has been my u iflx
that no one fliould have it in ki, power to fay that
any particular brand!: of the community had bcn

I (hall ever (land up for ceconomy, but it (bail be an
ecconomy in which tendernets for the fuhjed (Call be
blended with regard for the cffential intereffit and
real fecurity of.the empire.
The Right Hon. Gentleman made a few more oh-
(creations, in which he vindicated himtill from the
charge of fhrinking from the financial difficulties of
the country, and contended that he had never enter-
tained but one opinion in the event of war, of the pro-
priety of providing as great a proportion of the fit p plies
as poffible within the year. He complimented his
Right Honourable Friend (Mr. Pitt) who had intro,
duced it, and thought it was :he only means of
na-
tional fafety. He finifhed by calling on the Commit-
tee et a crifis like the precut to ad in a manner
worthy of the Sovereign who ruled over them, wor-
thy of the People whole Kcprefentatives they were,
worthy of the country whicli gave them birth. He
fat down by moving the firft Refolution.
The queffion was then put on the different Refolu-
tions, and aveed to without oppolltion.
The Houle being retuned, the Report was ordered
to be brought up to-morrow.--Adjourned. .

LONDON.

TUESDAY, JUNE 14.

In eonfequence of the difpatches brought over by
the French Mellinger, COI MOND, difpatches were
forwarded early yclterclay morning by Minifters
to the KING at Windfor, reque fling his Mai Ewes
pretence in town to a Council. The KING arrived.
at the Qeen's Houfe between one and two o'clock,
and a Council was immediately held, which was
attended by the Cabinet Minillers. At this Coun-
cil difpatches were read (from whom received we
cannot fay), announcing that Hanover, difappointed
of the hoped for fuccour, has furrendered, on caplet'.
lation, to the French army —Hanover has yielded
with very little refillance—lteilflance perhaps would
have been ufelefs—Perhaps they expeaed more lenient
treatment from a ready furrender. The Italians, the
Swifs, the Dutch, can tell how grievoufly the Ha•
noverians will be plundered !

We (hould not be furprized if it Mould turn out
that Fia.nce has offered to evacuate Hanover, pro-
vided this country will evacuate Malta. A propol.
lion founded upon fuch a 'compromife, and which
would recognize the right of France at all times to
make Hanover a fet•off againil any Beitifh claim or
poffelllon„ was not very likely to be accepted. It has
been (aid that the propofals of France were connected
with the mediation of Raffia and Pruffia, but a
French courier could not regularly bring any propo-
fitions of that nature. Had any mediation now beta
offered, and in reference to the prefent circumflances
of the belligerents, fuch an offer could only corns
through the Ruffian or Pruflian Minillers.
The private letters from Hamburg!' are, we finds
very contradictory, and we have reafon now to fear,
upon the whole, that the place may eventually be
occupied by the French. At any rate our Conful
there keens to have been of opinion that Bikini pro-
perty would not long continue to be fafe in that quar.
ter, and in eonfequence had ordered all our veffels to
depart. Some (hips which had reached Cuxhaven,
under convoy of a Frigate, on learning this intel.
ligence, refolved to return, inflead of proceeding to
Hamburgh.
Yefterday morning arrived at Yarmouth the A mi.
THY'? frigate, Captain C•MPaaLL, with their Royal
Highneffes the Duke of CAMBRIDOII and Prince
WILLIAM of GLoucirrilt: they left the frigate under
a Royal falute. They were refuted alto by the (hips
in the Roads as they palled, and were received ors
()lore by the Cbefhire Militia, with peefented arms,
the band playing God rave the King. Their Royal
Highn c Ire s immediately went to Nel fon's Hotel. Their
R oyal Highneffes left the Elbe on Thorfday morning.
The Mu Leonine frigate, with so fail of merchant-
men from Hamburgh, laden with the' property o
the Hamburghers, had falled front thence on Wed.('
nefday left.
The Dl•a♦ packet, Capt. Siena*, has alto am?'
ed at Yarmouth, from Helvoetiluys, with Mr. Ltsvoe
and family, our Atobafador, from the Hague : the
DI•a• is one of the Packets which failed with Aags
of truce. By the frigate came over Majors DaLron
and Da sa n, Aid-de•Camps to their Royal High neffes,
and Mr. Ross, an Englith Mefenger, from St, Pr

FARIS, JUNC 8-IM CONTINUATION FROM THE ?RICE-

4, Citizen Nlinifler—l had the honour to inform you
in my letttr of the 28th, that the French army was
on its march to Hanover. After marches exceedingly
fatiguing through dry fands and marfhy heaths, I
took a potation on the 31ft before Wechte. I had
afcertained that the enemy were guarding the line
of the Hunte. General 11•10411STSIN, who com-
manded the advanced guard of the army of the
Ktmc of ENGLAND, occupied Diepholz, with the 2d
and 6th regiments of infantry, two regiments of ca-
valry, and a divifion of artillery. I made difpofitions
for di iving them thence next morning. The 2d di-
Ailion, commanded by General Sc ntNIR, and that of
the cavalry under the command of General Nan-
soury, received orders to proceed to Goldenftedt, to
force the paffage of the Hunte, and to advance to
Suhlingen, to cut off all the troops which might be
between that place and Diepholz, which the divifion
of General MONTILICHARD had orders to attack by
main force. The enemy finding that by this move.
ment his right was turned, retreated in the night-time
to Bartlett.

d, On the ill, the advanced guard commanded by
General Daouar, bad a fmart fitirmint before Bauer
with the rear guard of the enemy.
" On the sd the main body of the army united

before Suhlingen. The advanced guard proceeded I
to Borden, where it fell in with the enemy ;—and,
notwithftanding their fuperiority of number, and the
great fatigue of the troops, who had that day march-
ed twelve leagues, General DROU yr gave orders for
the attack. The enemy kept up a brill( cannonade ;
!Ogre fquadrons of the zd regiment of huffars charged
with valour the light dragoons of the gth regiment.
They 'urcke the line of the corps, which they routed,
and toot feveral prifoners.
" I was informed by my (pies, that the head of the
bridge of Niewburg was repaired, and that the ene-
my had united all their artillery on the right bank of
the Wefer. I was well aware that it was of great
importance to 'marten my movements. I caufed the
referve of my artillery to march forward, and made
difpofitions to pufh and drive into the Wefer every
thing before me, to force the head of the bridge of
Niewburg, or to pals the ferry of Holznau, and by
thefe means to intercept the communication with the
capital.
ii dr
i The troops were on their march when the civil
and military deputies of the regency of Hanover pre-
Anted themfelves at my advanced polls. They re-
quelled me to fufpend my march, and announced to
sne, that they were ready to make advantageous
propofitions.
" My anfwer was negative—they returned to make
new propofals. I fignified to them that I would
liften to none, unlefs I were allured of being imme-
diately allowed to occupy the country of Hanover,
: and in particular the places of ftrength belonging to
' it. After a long difeuifion, they figned a Convention,
which I accepted, on condition that it fhould be ra-
tified by the refpeaive Governments. You will there
I fee that the army of the King of England are coif°.
i t Hers of war ; that lam mailer of the whole country,
!. and particularly of the mouths of the Elbe and the
Wefer.
" I have given orders to feize all the 'deli which
are in thefe rivers. The Duke of Camsainos, Sonof
the Kum of ENGLAND, and Governor of Hanover,
thought proper to give in his reftgnation before the
battle, and to retreat poll bane, (viper). He had,
however, promifed to die with the levy en naafi. It
is probable that he will have embarked before we ar-,
rive at the Mouth of the Elbe.
" We found at Niewburg 14,000 new =fleets and
a large quantity of artillery. According to the ac-

Commander of the Eledton

bithops, and Bilhops of France:
Sit —The motives of the prefent War are
known to all Europe. The bad faith of the !LUNG of
ENGLAND, who has violated the facrednefs of treaties
by refuting to reflore Malta to the Order of St. John
of Jerufalem ; who has caufed our trading veffels to
be attacked, without any previous declaration of war,
and the neceffity of a juft defence, all oblige us to
have recourfe to arms. I the: efore write this letter
to inform you, that I with you to give orders that
prayers may be offered pp to draw down the bleffing
of BLUISH on our enterprizes. The marks which I
have received of your zeal for the fervice of the State,
allure me that you will conform with pleafure to my
intentions. (Signed) BON•tAITE."
