He began by calling the attention of th• Commit-

And which had appeared to meet with the general
approbation of the Houfe, namely, that of railing .t
very large proportion of the fupplies for the pubic

This fyllem had not only been attended with the
beneficial confoquences which had been particularly
pointed out the time when it was adopted, but
bad been prodative of other advantages of confider-
able importance. It had tended materially to !ellen
the prefure which bad fallen upon the commerce of
the country. in coniequence of the renewal of war,
by preventing fo large a portion of the commercial
gapital of the country as would otherwife have been
neceffary, from being applied to the public fervice by
way of loan. Some embarraffment had indeed been
experienced, but he hoped it WAS nearly furmounted,
and furmounted without any public interference or

been found neceffary, and had been wifely granted
by the Legitlature, but the repeti•ion of fuch an in-

He next called the attention of the Comixlittee to
the importance of carrying on with the utmoft
goer, the execution of a fyitem of which experience
had demonitrated the prafticability and evinced the
beneficial died:. For this purpcife,,he recommended
an addition of one million per annum to the war-
taxes, which he propofed thould be railed by increaf•
ing the Escife Duty on wine to the extent originally-
intended of twenty pounds per ton, taking however
inineteen guineas only as more convenient for eaten-
, lation ; and this he obferved would give no pretence
to the dealers for an increafe of the retail price, as
he believed that it had been univerfally railed left
year to an extent fully proportioned to the total duty.
This would amount to about 200,0001., the remain-
ing 900,0001. he propofed to raife by another addi-
tion of tat per cent. on the confolidated Cuftoms,
except thole on exports and tonnage. and on the
articles of wine, tea, and cotton-wool. On the arti-
cle of raifins only, he thould propofe a double rate as
a fubltitute for an augmentation of the duty on
fweet!, which had dually accompanied an increafe of
the wine duties. _ _

He next adverted to the Loan contrafted for the
ferried of the prefent year. He Rated that he had
that morning entered into a contras for a Loan of
14,50cip001. for the fervice of the United Kingdom,
of which fum t 0,000,0001. was to be provided for by
Great-Britain. The terms on which.he had engag-
ed were, to give for every tool. in money, lOW. 3
per cent reduced, and 821. 3 per cent confolidated
annuities. Thofe terms might be confidered as fair
and evenadvantagesons to the public, and at the fame
time likely to prove profitable to the contraclors.—
The rate of intereft would be 51. 9s. 3d. p..r cent.
amounting to
.54.6,0001. to which, adding the
ance for management, and a Sinking Fund of i per
cent. the
, total annual charge would be 736,1901.
This'charge he propofed to provide fur by a Clii-
folidation and fimplification of the Ramp duties,
which were now extremely intricate and embarraf-
ling ; with Come additions to the prefent rates of du-
ty. The Stamp Duties might be divided into three
principal branches : thofe on proceedings in Courts
of Law ; thofe which were applicable to inftruments
for the transfer and fecatity of property ; and thufe
applicable to commercial tranfation.
In the firit of chafe branches a confufion and intri-
cacy prevailed which often embarraired the 111. a
fkilful praelitioners ; and in the fecond, a very un-
equal preffure was occafioned, by applying the rate
of the duty, not to the value of the property
(erred, but to the length of the instrument by which.
it was conveyed. He hoped in the new arrangoo;nt
to remove the obfcurity and d;diculties which 'had
been found fo vexatious to the parties interefied, and
to render the burden of taxation more equal, by ap-
plying to several other instruments the fame princi-
ples of progreiTive increase, according to the value of
property, which had been int:cduced with great fuc-
cell. into the Probate Duty.
After a Ihort recarlilation of his flatements, he
again imprelfed upon the Committee the urllent ne•
ceility of carrying the fyllem, which had been adopt-
ed, into the molt effeet. For this purpyle,
lie hoped that the war taxes at their prefent amount,
would be found t'tti:ittit ; for he could nut confider
the immenfe eNpenditure rendered neceirary
in the prefciit year, by t!:c c xtenfive preparations for
defence, a 111:tlY to continue to an equal amount.—
The funis v. tcd for Osdnanec, Volunteers, and Bar-
racks, in the prefent eer, exceeded the grants for
the fame let vices in either of the two hut years cf
the late war, by more than 4,g00,0001. cut account
of the extraordinary amount of arm; ar,d
provided for the Volunteer's, and of Cie numerous
buildings carried on by the Burr Irk Depart.rier:,
the whole of which had been prodded ii.r in the
fimplies lately voted. Dedui!tiag this excels off :n
millions and a half, which he cotifidered as orzai.ona!,
Crum the amount of the Luau, it would apip...tr that
an e.iric lent war edablilliment might be maintamed
