lcfYlCe OF TIE current year Tor England and
Ireland, and to raiie, beides that, four
Millions to pay the interef of 81 millions
borrowed already, on the pledge Of the
Income Tax; he has not only done both,
andin borrowing the fun he wanted, made
a good bargain for the public, but be has
laid on fuch taxes as will more than amount
to an equivalent for the income tax,
without exciting any alarm or appearing
20 be at all burthenfone. But what is
more extraordinary than all this, the
per cents, which before the Budget was
opened ION Monday were IS ! have RATED
{ to " & IS 4! & the other ffocks in pro-
pcstion Thus has the confidence Of the
nation been promoted and advanced by
what almoG every man thought but
few days ago, would have depreGsd it.
The Income Tax gave universal diGatisfac-
ton, and fnce the Peace has been conclu-
fded, the clamors for its repeal have In
created, and feveral public meetings have
been held to draw petitions which have
been fent dow 10 the E1ouie Of Com
mons, praying for its repeal-Ihele
feeeral petitions, and the arrival Of
the De6nitive Treaty, have prevailed
on the minliter to move for its repeal, and
and the efees has given the funds tie ex-
rraordinary elevation I have been mention
ing.-Supefadded to thefe circumaances, I
mutt not forget one which has tended alto
TO afengthen and conlolidate the hopes Of
the Nation, that the Peace will be perma-
nent. In the fpeech Mr.. Arlington made
on the opening Of the budget on Monday
laR, he expretled himlelf in thefe rea.arlla
bic words, which | fhall difinguilh by
writing them in large characters -
g That to Jseuye a lal2lng Peace,
g ue Jaoul no longer interfere IN
!" the affairs Of other Nations, but
z: feeure and maintain our own
{; independence =
This adcrtion of the MiniRer's in the
Houie Of Commons, has given the mot
exquiGte latisfadion out of doors: It's the
thing the people of England have in vain
been wilhing for, ever ince the war broke
out, and though this fentiment comes from
Government at the cloie Of long, bloody
and expen6ve war, yet it is not too late
to be mterefing to the prefent and future
generations. We have only to hope,
whoever may be the minifer, he will in
future act Up TO this fentiment, and abide
by 70 wife and jue meafure- and indeed,
the legilature backed by the voice of the
nation, ought to hold him 80 it,
