The English Gentleman, who has lately
been appointed Secretary OF The Treasury,
has made X port to Congress on the de
plora5le state Of emptiness, poverty and
deot, to which the mad measures Of our
democratic rulers have reduced the public
chest and TO replenish it, proposes 20 raise
twenty ONE MILLIONS annually
by taxes, duties, imposts and excuses for
which purpose he proposes continuance
OF the present double duties on imports, that
all the present internal dutieS should be con
tinued, the direct tar to be not only con,n.
ued but doubted, the auction duties 10 be
doubled, the tar on carriages to be doubled,
The tao on retailing licenses to be increase
so per cent. and the rates Of Hostage to be
doubled. After all this there is defcien-
cy OF 100000 dollars, to be raised which
ne proposes tax OF Is Per cens, fer gallon

porter, ale and strong bee, cents per

manufactured, IS cents per pack on playing
cards, 100000 d. OH counsellors and altor
niss al law and law proceedings, & 100000
dolls on contracts relating to real estate.

taxation 1t Is, TO maintain an unjust war
