The English Budget The real situation
of the English finances, completely realizes
the statement made a few years since by
lord Henry Petty, that the kingdom, by the
forcible operation Of the great sinking Jund,
would be able to sustain the war pressure
without any additional burdens of taxation.
The budget lately broughs forward by the
chancellor of the exchequer, gives abund-
ant proof Of this position, and forms the
most effectual REPUTATION to the charge OF a
tendency in Great Britain towards nation
al bankruptcy. This statement proves thai
the war can be maintained forevef, without
additional burthens, SO long as Great Bril-
tain can maintain her maritime superiority.
Letus examine the statements.

all those universal patriots, who behold the

ties of mankind. The United States arc

as the Sound and Elsineur were in strict
blockade. They were treated very politely
by the Standard and offered any assistance
they could. Came though the Belt in CO.
withaabout SO sail. July 10, left Gotten
burg in CO. with abou, 200 sail, bound into
the n. SEA, Same morning fleet of about
200 sail, sailed from Gottenburg roads for
the Baltic. Previous to the sailing Of these
two fleets, theie was supposed to have been
IN Gottenburg roads as many as or 800
sail Of shipping, among Which there were
about 70 sail Of Americans.
1be Chesapeake was boarded by several
of the Baltic feet belonginging to sir James

convoy from the Baltic was attacked OH the
Maze OF Norway by six Danish gun briggs
and some Gun boats, ous of which feet the
Danes captured 80 sail, among which were
10 or IL Americans. TWAS supposed the
Danes got their briggs into Fahrsund and
the neis hboring ports. All the British ships
of war, with the exception ofone gun brig,
had parted with this part of the convoy
This information was received from several
British ships Of war in the Skagerac.. who
