t. 'llsat by a Resoltittdo • Owed oh the 6th April, 1790, it
was declared by this Hoose,llrsitsbe intinence of the Crown (sad
increaard, was increasing. trod ought to be diminished.
42 That since that time die Inflnence of the Crown has beta
greatly increased, on the onehatid; by theincrease of the pub-
lic debt to respect of the man raised fur paying the Interest
thereof, and the prdlitable patronage and power exercised in
Manes to the several isMces mud- cammissines necessary for the

crease of the Standing Army, in respect of the patronage and
