He was perl'uaded it would be long iudced, before the Mcdi terranean commerce wouid a^ain be in- fefled by the inroads of this piratical Power. He t-fo alluded to the ter¬ mination of our late mort and glorious coriteft in India, into which, he obfer- ved, we had been forced by repeated injuries and infuitS. He confidered that much praife was due to the Noble Lord at the head oi our extenlive govetnment in that quarter ot the globe, for his con¬ duct during the continuance of tl,\r con¬ flict. He thodght the gratitude of the Houfe was due to his Royal HiVhnefi J for having thus early called the attention [of the Houfe to the tubjed of our ex- I penditure, and for the anxious wiih he expreffed to adopt every poiiiolc iydem of ecqjiomy a'»d retrenchment. He trullcd. however, the Houfe, whilft it confidcred economy, would nut forget what was due t'> the rank we had to fupport a mon^'t nations. He was of opinion that w€ mould find nothing fo pro Jiiral as inil^cility, or fo expenlive a^ weaknefs. 'i'H<e Noble Loid then adverted to th* falling off in the liev- enue of the country.

It was the duty of ihc Parliament at this tiwet«f|#« V xtmh u> thepeoj'Ie. It was alfothe duty oi he Houfe, and of Government, to a- ifnpt every poflible economy and re rrenchment.

Was it in the manniadnres, or was it in commerce ?—No.—V\ here then were ihey to look ? Why, to the Houfe ; and he trtlftcd they would not be rirfeppoin- icd. He underliood a.iniilcrs had come 10 the dctennioa&tou now to make fome redocKon in the public expenditure. He hoped he heaid what was true; but he ierrtetted much that tl.^y had not fooner come to this deferminaiion. He head nothing of reticnehment,, however, till near the meeting of Parliament ; and he wis inclined to think, that o::iy the fear of meetiW fome fuch defeats as rhofe to which 1 hey w.re fubject laft v^effi^n, }tad now forced them to adopt fuch meas¬ ures. The right honorable gentleman then read an amendment, exprtflingr the re- jfret the home felt at the difficulties tin. dcr which the c^untiy at prefent iabour- j ed.—A continuation of peace ;>■>•■'.; al- [leviate, to a certain extent, thole evils; (but the houfe also felt, that thev would jbe gui'ty of a dhelfctron of their dutv if [they did not fubmitto His Royal High- nefs, that exceflive taxation was the p1 in- cipal caufe of the evils under which the people laboured ; and at the fame time J that the houfe acknowledged the trraCMU^ communicatton rjf hi^ Royal Highneis of his determination to introduce every poffibleeconomy into the e>;ptnditure, they could not but regret that hit.
