• THE BUDGET.
The House having resolved itself into the sa
Committee,
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUE
began his statement by observing, that he thought
necessary that these accounts which had been mov
for, should be referred to the Committee ; and
thought that they would be found highly interestii
in their general results, and particularly applicable
the subject to which it was his duty now to draw t
attention of the Committee. He thought that thi
would not only afford the best means of forming
correct judgment how far the country was able
support its present burthens, but that they would I
the best answer to those who were accustomed to tal
gloomy views of the financial situation of the con
try. They would shew, that so far from there belt
any reason to apprehend any thing like decay or fi
sure in our finances, the more we looked at them, tl
more reason would we have to be satisfied with the
growing anprovement and prosperity. It would I
highly satisfactory to know that such had been tl
produce of our revenues in that very year? when me
• of great weight and authority in that House antic
pated a failure, that instead of the deficit they appr
headed, there had actually been a very considerab
increase. Those points he should dwell on at mot
• length in another part of his speech, as ntgre immi
diately connected with the Ways and Aleans.
Should, however, first state the supply for the preset
year. For the supply of the year, there had been a
rrady voted for the Navy R 19,258,000, and for th
Army in Great Britain, including,the expenses pf th
Commissariat Department, £13,903,060. For th
army in Ireland, 82,992,057. When to those sun.
were added £2,750,000 for army extraordinaries fc
Great Britain, and R 200,000 for Ireland, and the fuJ
Cher sum of £441,000 unprovided for in the last yea;
would make the whole vote for the Army in the pre
sent year 820,307,000. The Ordnance Estimate
were £4,411,000, and the 'miscellaneous services a
ready provided for, as well as those which remaine
to be provided for, would altogether amount to abot
two mi.lions. The Vote of Credit .Bill for the preset
year would be, as it was last year, three millions, an
the subsidies to foreign Powers £1,580,000. Thes
sums, added together, made a total joint expence lc
Great Britain and Ireland, of £50,660,000 for th
year. To this was to be added, £1,650,000 for it
terest of Exchequer Bills, and 418,500 :o Loyalt
Loan Holders, making the gross total £52,185,00(
From this was to be deducted the proportion of Ire
land, which amounted to 0,106.000, leaying th
whole sum which was to be provided for the separat
lecouat of Greekt Britain 436,879,004.. '
