In the houfe of commons laft night, the chancellor of the exchequer fubmitted, m detail, the financial refolutions, which he had moved, pro forma, on a preceding day. The fpeech of the right hon. gentleman may be coafidered as fubftantially com¬ municating to the houfe and the country, the budget for theprefent year,, though that particular queftion is to be brought forward in a more technical fhape tomorrow evening, and whatever differences of opinion may exift, as to the caufes which have produced the neceffity for the prefent meaUres, we fhould think there can be none as to the wifdom and policy of meeting that neces- fity by adequate and decifive remedies.

Nearly nineteen millions of taxes have been removed fince the peace, and furely it will not be con¬ tended, that the nation is unable to bear the rc-impolition of three, out of thole nineteen millions Indeed, the queftion of its ability is net doubted. Our readers are already aware of the great object propofed, to be attained by miuifters, namely, to create a clear, and
