The SOAVE COISAIITTEE ON FINANCE have made a
Strru Ittroart, embracing the Estimates for the
Naval Service fur the current year.

Esteeming, the Committee state, the naval suped
riority of this country, as the principle on which its
external power, internal safety, and general prospe-
rity, in the highest degree depend, they are of opi-
nion that the sense which they entertain of the neces-
sity for economy, cannot with a duetegard to the in
terect of the State, be allowed to interfere with the
support of such a maritime force as may be deemed
necessary in time of peace, nor with the preparations
for its adequate augmentation in the event of war.
Aid they accordingly state a varietysof considera-
-6,13, tending to shew, " that the amount of that
force proposed for this year, is, with reference to for-
rrer periods and present-circumstances, as much re-
duced as could be reasonably expected"
The salary of the Treasurer of the Navy, the
Committee consider as much too large, and recom-
mend a reduction on any future appointment to that
crier, so as to place it on a level, ip respect to
emolument, with the Paymaster of the Forces.
The Committee alsc; express a hope, that the Esti-
mmesof :he heat year will exhibit a considerable di-
rinution in the charges of the establishment of the
Navy Pay Offices.
The duty of this department, they state, diffets but

little from that of an ordinary Banker, and they are
therefore perfectly satisfied that the same number et
persons by which a sum of 5e22,000,000 was received
and paid in 1813, cAnnot be necessary for the receipt
and payment of 5€6,000,000 in 1817•
Oa the subject of the Civil Establishments of the
Navy, the Committee state that they ate lar from

being satisfied that so many Corm►issiorert, of the'
Navy are requisite in time of peace, even with the
•addition of labour, which the Transport Service has
imposed on this department. It appears to the Com-
mittee that the three divisions of ,the General Board,
consisting one of four Commissioners, and the others
of three, might each be reduced to two Members
without any inconvenience to the public service, and
that the difficulties stated against this proposition
were merely technical.
In considering the branch of ma -pay, Pensions,
and Allowances, the Committee mention a number
of abuses which have attracted their attention, tc re-
medy which they recommend. as two general rules
to be adopted in future, that certain lengths of ser-
vice be required, as indispensable qualifications for a
Pension or Superanntia:;on ; and that a condition be
always annexed for abatinq the pension, either in
whole or in part, in case the grantee accepts, and as
long as he shall hold any situation or place under
Government. •

In the Sick and Hurt Department. the Establish-
menu of the Royal Hospitals appear to the Com-
mittee to be very expensive. However necessary a
military superintendance, and a full establishment of
Medical Officers might he in time of war, the Com-
mittee think that a reduction to a more considerable
extent than has taken place might be made during
place.

The Committee conclude with repeating an opi-
nion, which they hare more.than once stated in their
tor met- Reports, that no expenditure in this Depart-
ment, and no grants whatspever, of the nature of
penaions and superannuation:. should be made with-
out the concurreuce of the Lords Commissioners of
the Treasury.

The Paris Papers of Thursday have arrived since
our last. The financial measures of the new Spanish
Minister DON MARTIN or Gantv, are at length
fully developed in a long article from Madrid, dated
the 12th instant. From this it appears that the total
Revenues of the Spanish Crown amount at present
only to .597,926,987 real., while the actual expendi-
ture is 1,051,077,00 r. ais ; whence it results that
there is an annual deficit of 453,950,653 reals. In
order to make head against this deficiency, various
retrenchments have been proposed by the Minister'
and ordered to be put in execution by the King,
which will reduce the expenditure to about
710,373,600 reals, leaving a deficit cf no more than
116,846,613 reals to be provided for. And to cover
this a general contribution is to be imposed on all
species of property, ecclesiastical as well as civil.
The assessment on the Clergy has been made with
the full consent and authority of the POPE; it is rated
at SO millions, and is to endure for six years.
The plan of M. GARAY is certainly vigorous—too
vigorous we fear for a country in a state so reduced
as Spain is allowed to b.. What dee* the Kmoltista,

mitigated ? My troops experience the most afflict.
ing wants; they ate destitute of every thing essential
to their comfort ; barracks have fallen to ruin ;
the citizens are oppressed with the burden of finding
quarters and transporting baggage for the military;
in many places (roman: exactions are arburarily en-
forced the Marine •is stripped of every thing; the
Coasts of the Peninsula and the Colonies are laid
waste by Pirates; the troubles of America deprive
the Mother Country of her MOSS Sfectual ritorrees ; the
Magistrates and Public Officers see months and years
pass by without receiving their scanty salaries ; all
their virtue and fortitude- are requisite to prevent
them from sinking under the wretchedness in which
they are Illunged." Whit a picture of national ins.
poverishment

It :nay seem plausible in his Majeety to talk as he
afterwards does of the wisdom of resting on present
resource,—of the injustice and the folly of transfer.
ring, by means or loans, the burdens of the present
generation to posterity. But when a people are so
reduced as this picture represents them to be, it is
nearly sur idle to expect to squeeze more out of them,
as it is to reprobate from an affectation of justice, the
expedient of resorting to a loan,• which (so lost is
their credit) they could not obtain even if they
would. In as far as the treasures of the Clergy are
attached, there is indeed much to applaud in the
measure iu question, and much to be hoped ftonar i
but as to tile lay part of ac populatioa, we fear it
will only aggravate the oppression they already
suffer, without yielding ally thing near the produce
which is expected from it. . .
From Rrivate intelligence, however, it appears,
that it is not yet altogezh,ir certain that this plan will,
be actually put in execution. The Nobility and }:igh
Churchmen have stirred up a strong opposition to it,
and have succeeded so far as to obtain a postpone-
ment of the scheme till January, 1819, and before
I then such changes, it is thought, will take place in
the Ministry, as will prevent its ever being revived.
The Diet of Frankfort have unanimously corns to
a resolution, declaring the Confederation of Ger-
many a free and independent Power, of which the
Minister of Austria is to be President. A notifica-
tion to this effect has been ordered to be made to all
the Powers of Europe, and also to the United States
cf America. •

French Funds, June 25, 65 fr.

The last Mail from the Mediterranean has brought
intelligence which will cause much inconvenience to
many people interested in the Trade to the Austrian
States. We insert a short letter as a specimen for
the information of our Readers—they all relate to
the same fact :

1, VENICE, JUNE ii.

" Contrary to all expectation his Imperial MA.
JESTS* of AUSTRIA has i,sued a Decree. under date
19ih May laA, which was published here on the Zd
instant, prohibiting the introduction of Raw Foreign
Iron and Steel, as wellps all articles of whatever
description manufactured of those materials. In
consequence therefore of this detrimental prohibition.
I am compelled to request you would omit sending
the goods which I ordered you through your Agent
on the lid May last," &c. &e.

Independent States have undoubtedly a right to
exact what regulations may be deemed necessary for
protecting and encouraging the commerce and ma-
nufactures of their respective subjects ; but something
like justice is due Also to others. In the present case
the notice is so shott, that it wiil occasion a serious
sacrifice of property to many individuals. The very
order alluded to in the above letter, for instance, was
shipped before the news of the decree Arrived, and
many others are in similar circumstances. When
will the rulers of the earth be convinced that in no
way can they so effectually contribute to the welfare
of their States as by leaving the commerce of the
world perfectly free from all restraints
‘Vhat is now taking pl.tce in the Venetian Pro-
vinces, msy sonar be expected to follow io Lom-
bardy. Tuscany is ruled by an Austrian Piince,
who, not unlikely, may adopt the same measures;
(some partial obstructions have already occurred)
and should Naples and Turin be influmeed to do
the same, then will the trade of Italy be last to Eng-
land, for her having so powerfully contributed its re-
storing it to its former Sovereigns.

A Letter from New York, dated May 26, says:
We understand the following are the terms un
which the Bank of the United States obtained its
specie ist England :—The specie to be delivered in
the United States at 4s. Sd. sterling the dollar, within
six months from January last, the time the contract
was made ; the payment secured by a deposit of the
United States Stock at par, redeemable January,
1619, or at any earlier time, giving two months no-
tice, interest at 6 per cent. commencing at the date
of the contract. We are also informed that the
paper of the Bank in this City was ready, and would
probably be sent to Charleston, from whence it may
be espocted in the course of nest week ; the Bank
only waits for the Bills to come, on which it will
commence business immediately.
