THE STATESMAN.

LONDON:
WILDRMIAT. APRIL 28, 1819.

We have obeervad in our Papers of a few days
hack, that the Ministers were in the greatest dilemma
what to do respecting financial metiers, slue. their
confessing that a loom would be required, after all
the boasting, and "sowings of thegrowieg protperit)
of the trade of the uation, and the accovoulating en.
crease on the import', import., &c. would seem not
only • mockery on the feelings and credulity of the
People of England. hut also giving the lie direct to
more thin one of their loud-toupee(' oracles, which
daily posted out their sneers upon the croakers (not
Comities) whose predictions they attempted to
or contemn. Our Readers gill be pinkie() to remem-
ber how mach ue have for some time laboured to en.
deceive the Public with ►etpect to the artifice endea-
voured to be played off. by way of giving a temporary
hut false credit to the measures of a set of the most
extravagant and inconsistent men that ever look
the affairs of even a pelt, independency in hand.
They u•e the Jnurn•ls w• allude to as mechanist,
wash! use dean-engines (only not on such ra-
tional grounds) to force sip • nionteotary reps.
'They seem now to *list upon • daily
wino of food (flattery), • kind of chandler's-shop
supply of praise : out so, however, in their charge
to the nation for their good government. Here, in-
deed the ripenee is prodigious, monstrous! sot less
thin 67,707,0881.! ! ! more than will be consumed
in Americo, though its Government extends ever
fifteen titers more soil, probably for the nest 20
yea,,—e Government too, which is growing sue-
pritingly, and might reasonably therefore be imp-
prised to stand in reed of more nutriment. Why
the very •dmisistration of seventy millions ever a
small realm like ours, the very counting •et
sad entering such a mass of money, world first
blacken the ►ands, and afterwards taint the "dads
of soy number of Aerlitori, Tellers, Control-
lers, Registrars, be. with whatever virtue they
weight enter into office : is short, without some-
thing be immediately done to lessen the .spendi.
tare, and economise the application of an over.
strained revenue, the very pilen generated by se
powerful an inleence which Tre•terera sod Chan.
cellors derive from their situation', would of itself
subvert the State,whatever be the justness and solidity
of its first institution". After all, then, that has been
set forth in the vain-glorioes effrontery of the Carrier,
the following notice was made publicyesterdey at t►e
Stock Esebunge, at two o'Clock

la lion.

.• Lord Lllff lIPOOL a.d the CNAIril.l.Olll of the Excreter's
request the Governor and Deputy Governer of the Beek •f
England will bre the padres to came it to he wiled at the
Stock Eschewer. in the real manner. that It is their latesnien

plies. and whit* have net been advertised to be paid el; shell

tent 3 ear. lea proportion Pot esceedieg X 3 per cent. as err

will be paid ie erb at the time it is presered."

The very wording of ibis Hyssop has a most to-
traorilinary and forbiddiug aspect ; for, after all, it is
not a positive declaration that a loan will be resorted
to, and yet what other means can be adopted ? Ac-
commodation or 'spore with the Bask is most cer-
tainly in the tonlespialinn of the head which dictated
this Message to the Stock I:stbenge. Why most
there be all this in)slet) ? Hammy Out is frank.
mu) is the best pf,licy io public, as tulles in private

p deolinia, most certainly if among honest men. The
• autbigsoin paper speaks of the manner of making up
the loan without Making the amount or declaring the
I obsolete waist of ir. If this alarming reserve In
I Ministers dors not occasion others to speak est who
have hitherto been silent on tech occasions, such in.
r &teams will be dawn from the dark proceedings so
will five the ones ahn govern us double the enessi-
E nest they are so sidolowsly -endeavouring to avoid.
Government, by the paper in question, proposes
(a loan being enderalood to he set on foot) that •
certain number of Ezekiel's,' Bills in the hands of
capitalists, or now in circulation, should be received
as part of the money subscribed, provided they do
not eons/its', men than ono fourth of the sum sel•
wafted be the c00t...n0r.: and by way of u bones,
for sock it is to • certain degree, gives the subscriber
a preifiisni on them 'of one per cent. Another con.
clitio•, which k scarcely to be ezplained span the
ordinary way of Government transacting this kind of ,
business with the Public, it, that it will pay both the I
interest due on the Exchequer Bills in question, toge.
'her with the premium, up to Ole moment of contract,
in cork. This has indeed • singular •ppearance, and
lets out • sciutillstion of belief that tech a portion a.
will brined lies idle, and will now be turned to • little
,finilering accosni: Ala.! are the affairs of this great
nation to b. thus complezedly exhibited to ths snakes

machinery of Chtn• .llors of the Eschew' and First
Lords of theTressuoy? for both these high office.— is!

Mr. VANIIITT %AT is attending the funeral of a rola. I
tire.

As Om Cu* ucti.t.on of the Excnret!Elt had rig-
oifird some time ago, that there would be no oc-
casion to borrow or fond, which naturally raised
the Stocks, it is not to be wondered •t, that the 1101.
picion raised since the declaration that recourse ma .t
be had to one of these mean., it is not to be wondered
at shot the Stocks should fill : indeed, evecy man in
the least acquainted with the concerns of the country
meet have felt convinced that what the Courier, and
other Ministerial Papers said from day to thy could
not be true. It was therefore nett to a certainty, thee
what has now wafnltled itself moat have comesoo rrrrr
later ; it being acknowledged on a:I bands that an
issue of Pacheco', Mills, to the amount of the sum
required, would be attended with greater evils than
the present espedient.

It behove' es in candour le notice, that in the
C 7 trillions and upwards, of money expended within
the jest, the IS miilinne appropriated to the reduc-
tion of the National Debt are Included ; bet, after ell,
the balancin the account most be a fatal disappoint.
mint to ell these whn pinned their faith no the state.

All this is independent of say Report which the

Dom, A►RIL 26.—" The Ambassador from Per-
sil, whose arrival here was yesterday announced,
still remains at the Ship lon. lie has been welkin
to view the town, eastk, and fortifications, whilst his
(air Circassian Imps close in her apartment secluded
from public view ; yet amongst the melsitode of fair
spec-tanks, some have been gratified pith a sight,
which they do not think surpasses in busty many
fair females of Dom."

By the receipt of accounts frees Halite c and New
Brensuirk, of the end of last month, we learn that
I vessels belonging to different ports of Nova
Scotia had been seised in the hedonists of the I: sited
States; sod the Hesse stated for Iltio rrne.eti;lig is,
that there is no clams in the Commercial 'neat,
which provides for colonial vessels teaching at Au...
rims ports even is distress. A letter from St. John's,
New Brunswick, mender's the arrival of Captain

short of provisions slid water, he was net old) refused

without ceremony seised sod condemned : among
others, thy schooner James, of Negras, shared this
fate.
