ces. Pitt would still have hoisted his bra
gen front In the house of commons; ane
Mr.. Fox, held in check by the GrenYilles
| would soon have sunk beneath him. Thu
strength of the new ministry ought to hay,
grown out of an exposure OF the ignorance
and wickedness of their predecessors ane
there can be no doub. that if :he Gren
villes had occupied the place in the new ar
rangements which they ought to have oc
cupied, such an exposure would have ,aker
place but the moment it was known tina
lord .Grenvlle was 10 be the minister, ths
momens every one was assured that &C
exposure at all would be made. All al
once we saw the discussion relative 70 the
war abandoned, though the papers had
been moved fer and the day appointed
The million, out of the Spanish prize mo.
nsy, was quietly hushsd up. Not a word
was said upon many other subjects, which
were proposed to be discussed. In short,
who was there, having the common means
OF observation, who was not convinced
that the Fox party had, from the mare fear
OF being kept for month or two out Of
place, yielded to lord Greuville and made
up their minds to settled submission g.
But now this is Of little consequence. We
now that Pitts and Grenvilles aud Foxes
arc all alike. We have now the proof OF
it before eur eyes. We have the proof,
that from the moment they arc ia place
they act, successlvely, as their predecess
ors acted. When in place they ell with
equal zeal defend and abet such practices
as it is useless here TO name. | krow no.
which of them goes farihess. know not
which has least shame and ali the differ
euce that I am new able to discover be
tween the Pitts and the Foxes is, thar while
the latter, out Of place, severely condemn
pecuatiou, the former, whether in or cut
of place, always defend it; and really
think this the least dishonorab!e course OF
the two.
In returning from, this DEPRESSION. now
offer 10 the reader a few remarks upon
some arguments, in addition 20 those quo,
ted in my LAST number (paee 2o!) from the
Morning Post, 'endicg, as the writer pre-
sumcs, to show that We are in position
TO warrant demand of high terms OF peace
The passage which am pow about TO lay
before the reader. follows in the Morning
Post Of the 5th instant, mediateIy after
the passage quoted in my last number (page
2o1). Here, it may be said, thar, in the
progress OF the war, greater loans would
be necessary 10 each successive year.---
Granted. Blu, ths loan Of The present year
cannot be taken above fifteen millions, five
millions OF the twenty borrowed having
been appropriated to make !go0d the grants
Of the last year; and if we suppose the a.
mount of the yearly loan 10 be progressive
between htseen and ;wen.y.fve millions,
the aversge, being twenty millions, would
give the result We calculate upon. Wills:
carrying on the war singIy with France,
we cannot be SO insensible Of he burthen
necessary tor the support of it. The great.
er part Of the Expenditure 7UW take place
in the country, and though The money may
be procured by heavy Impositious, IT will
return to the people, and by its circulation
amongst thsmalle0iate they burshen the sus-
tain. The came will be in a great measure
the case with any expeditions that may be
sen, out, Till ,hey reach the place of their
destination. The whole Of the outfit will
be supplied by the couusry, and even the
freigh'age and expense of transport will be
a benefit to the beople. When our sxpe.
| di'iens accomplish their object, we see no
good reason can be given, why we should
not practice and pursue the same means
our enemies do. The adoption of such
system would relieve our finances, and
greatly promote our military resources.
On the whole, therefore, 1Ve see everu rea.
