3applies !Ere L. be providtd for ; among whit,' I
have, in the firil place, to enumerate the Mal; lito
the gt ()slog produce of the Confolidated Fund, Ex-
chequer Bills on Aids and the Duties on Penlion; and
Offices ; and, in the fecond place, additional Duties
upon articles of Cuiloms and Excite, and a feparate
Tax upon property. The Ways and Means wiling
from the Malt Duty, I take at 75c,c001. and out of
the vote paired for railing four millions of Exche
quer Bills, there is Rill a very confiderabic part of
them not yet iffued ; and in dating the amount at
three millions, it mull be confidered as applicable to
the Ways and Means of the prefent year. The fur-
plus of the Confolidated Fund to the sth of April
1804, is in the eilimate made of it, founded upon the
aatial produce of the Taxes to the sth of Apia 1803,
and when I take it at 6,500,0001. the fum at wl.ich it
is rated in the Ways and Means, I feel my (Cif per-
fealy jutlifled by the accounts which are now laid
upon your table. In estimating the furplos of the
Confolidated Fund at 6,5oo,c)ool. I mull, however,
obferve, that it is not my intention to auk the Com-
mittee to come to a vote upon that filbjea zo night,
but met ely to take credit for the for, leaving thz
eibmate open for future difcnflion. I have fufficient
grounds from the Papers which I hold in my hand,
to fatisfy the Houle as to the col reay.efs of the elli-
mate, but I will not, in the prefent Rage, trouble
Gentlemen with details which it may be neccffary to
bring forward on a future day. On the fubjea of the
Bank advances, I (hall not fay much, htt [ entertain
hopes that the Bank will accept of Exchequer Bills
to the amount which the exigency of the public fee-
vice may require. I hope the outflandh.g Bills will
not be increafed by thole accepted by the Bank. I
certainly cannot fpeak with confidence upon this
point, but I troll it will not be going too far, in Rating
as a part of the Ways and Means, the fum of one
million and a half to be railed by Exchequer Bills in
aid of 1804, in order to pay off thofe in the poffelfion
of the Bank, on aids of 1803. With relpeet to the
money which Rill remains in the Exchequer undif-
pofed of for bounties to be given on the growth of
hemp and flax, the amount is 37,7821. The Lottery
I have not yet alluded to, and although I with to
avoid mentioning a fpecific fum, yet it may be fairly
eflimated at a total, not lets than from three to four
hundred thoufand pounds. I have now, Sr, to pro.
pole to the Committee, taxes.which are to be derived
from augmentations on the Ezell. and Cullom, and
which are to be paid for fix months. When the
advantages derived by the Weft India merchants and
proprietors from the colonies during the war are tall 4
fidered. I believe Gentlemen will agree with me, that
there cannot be a fairer objea of taxation than the
article of Sugar. , It is now become an article of
neceffity, and we may jolly expea to poffefs the mo-
nopoly, and command the fupply of it to the reit of
the world during the continuance of war. I, there-
fore, beg leave to ptopofe, that on the Confolidated
Cuttoms of Sugar, there be laid an addition of four
(billings per cwt. or an increase of so per cent. ad
valorem on the duty. I alto beg leave to recommend
to the Committee an increafe 1 2f per cent. ad valorem,
on all articles of Cuffmns, with the exception of Cot-
ton Wool, Tea, and Wine, which I beg leave to be
underfiond are objeas of feparate taxation. The
ellimated produce of theft taxes is one million three
hundred thoufand pounds. I with the Committee to
underhand, that in making the exception of Tea,
Cotton Wool, and Wine, they Mould be charged under
the duties of Excite. Copfidering, as we are bound
to do, how the trade add manufaaures of this coun-
try will be placed in the poffeffion of a monopoly of
the would during the continuance of the coined, not-
withßanding every exertion, every attempt to ex-
clude them, I think I Mould be extremely wrong, if
I were Wit of opinion that a confiderable (apply
for the exigencies of the public fervice could be
drawn from them. I therefore, Sir, beg leave to
propofe that one per cent. ad valorem be laid on all
ouch articles exported to Europe, and three per cent.
on thole exported to all other parts of the world. In
forming an climate of the produa, I feel myfelf juf-
tified in (toting it four hundred and tiny thoufand
pounds. An application was made by the cotton ma-1
nufafturers to take off the duty on exports of that
nature, and to have it laid on the raw materials ; and
it is propofed to lay a duty of one penny per M. on
cotton wool exported. with the exception of manu-
faaured cotton. The ellimated produce of this re-
gulation is taken at the fum of two hundred and fifty '1
thoufand pounds. There is another article, and it is,
the lait article of Cullom' which I conceive may be
very fairly charged doling the war, I mean the Ton-
nage Duty, and I ettimate it at one hundred and
fifty thoufand pounds. Thus the whole of the fum
to be derived from Culloms amounts to 2, t6oboool.
