P.bCE!PTS.

Cue vox s.—So vaßapro;futt from the Cullom,
can arife only in confequence of the greatelt per-
feaion in the regulations of trade, and the utmoa
extenlion and sA%vity of commercial navigation.
Exam—This contribution is exorbitant and
oppreiGve. If England could afford to diminifb
it, certainly it would be reduced without delay.
Its collation teems to be hardly compatible with
the ex &ewe of civil liberty.
Srassts.--A tax wifely impofed, and Ikilfully
colleEted.

LAND AND ASSESSID Taxis—A moderate tax,
judicioufly levied.
POST OFTIC E.—This branch of revenue is very
eafily collefted, and has been fusee augmented.—
It is aftonifhitig, that a country fo comparatively
moderate in extent, Ihould afford fo large a reve.
nue from the conveyance of its letters.
WAR Tax ON 'ICON a.--(Supprefed in 1802).
Happy would it have been for England, and for
all Europe, if that illullon had been ten years fince
dilEpateil, or if the had never enjoyed that credit
which has brought her at left to the brink of ruin.
The flatterers of the Englith Government fay, that
the has proved the Saviour of Europe. Nothing
can be more Palk. Had France been urged to the
laft extremity, Europe mutt have been undone.—
It bas been Caved by the moderation of Bow Ara a is,
and the wifdom of Ruffla.

Ex etantruae.—The fum of the obfervations
under this head, fignifies that the Englith finances
mutt become worfe and worfe--that the Sinking
Fund is a mere delufion ; and that it is ationiflring
that there fhould remain a tingle advocate for war
in England, fence its espences have been fa raft.
N. B. As this ( Igor ) was a year of war, the pub-
lic expenditure of Great Britain for a Bes is con&
derably frnAller ; though fill much above what the
real wealth, induftry, and general energies of that
country can for
afford.
The rates the support of the poor, are not
paid into the Royal Treafury. Each parith taxes
kith- for the fubfiflence of its own poor, in pro-
portion to their numbers, and in proportion to the
wealth and numbers of the other inhabitants of
the parilh. The clad amount of thefe poor's
rates, we cannot well afcertain. It is different in
different years. In 1768, it was not leis tban 44
millions of livres Totunuis. It is fuppoted now to
be nue•third more.

Ireland is not comprehended in the fiatement of
the Revenue and the Expenditure of Great Bri-
tain for Ulm
The EMI India Company enjoys all the revenues,
and pays all the expellees of the Government of
India. In certain cafes, indeed, the Britith Go-
vernment has a (hare of thole revenues.
The falaries of the Governors of the Colonies
are paid nut of the Civil Lill. The internal et.
pens of the different Colonies are paid by thole
Colonies themfelves, out of taxes levied by the Co.
lonia% Alremblies.

The penfitsns are a part of the espence of the
Civil bk. Some of thole are, however, affigned
upon the Excite and the Poll Office. But they are
all perfellly known to the public. Printed lilts of
thole who' enjoy petitions, and of the pentions paid
to them, arc laid at times before the Howe d
Commons I a lid of theti was not long fince cum-
uaunicatosi to cla.st
