ON THE SYSTEM OF GREAT-SUIT AIN. “ The r.n-dtj% SyjLm r,j Finr.nct long remain a monumert of u ondcr, act so rr.nch on occo’ikl of the extent to vjhirb it kat Iren car ruth, as cj the folly of bi Her ini in it.” l'aine on .he Dec’ir.e oru\ Fa’l r{ the Eng hC; S) ftcx cf Finance. THE national debt of Great Britain, has reached iuc!i a (late of accutnuiatior and ccrrplrsrty, E 5 s’aoil like ir.fini j itfelf, to defy the ordinary powers of calculation. When ar. eitiorate it n.ad. of the continually encreaGng debt o. Grea'-Bntain, the interest of this debt and the charges of the Sinking Fun;’, the annual exerfs of expenditure, the annual loans obtained to make up the chrfcit of revenue, the trillions which are facrifi=ed to support the fplcndor of royal magnia ctnee and the extraordinary experetr caused by th.* continual w?rs in which Great-Britain is engaged 7.1 h the ca tioas of Europe ; it cannot be cot.cealed that she is fdtf Epprosching that awful Rate <f bankruptcy, to v’h'cli all her tr.eafuees tnevhably tend. The Englilh Syllem of Finance betrays so nuny! fyrrptomn of dtcay, that it is impofiibie j not to believe t u e nation is othtbe eve ol I bankruptcy ; it has already rea< lied a ; Rate of decrepitude, which ts the harb;n gerof approaching diffoluticn. But it if difficult to augur the death of an indivi i dual, and rr.tich more so, the dsfloUrion of a gove. nir.ent, with any degree of j certainty. As even under the troth dreaj ful fymploms ot disease, a man may support life beyond the expt&aiiorm of the m. ft fkilful phyCcian ; so may * goversrntnt, which daily tends to ruin, endure far beyond the calculation of ate enemies, far beyocj the hopes of ice friends. On th- present complicated and iia portanl fuljedl, l feel asyfelf compelled in fotre meafurc, to exceed the limitt v.hich 1 at firll proposed, for this efTay. The situation cf Great-Britain a to agriculture and commerce, ii* so important and ia so blended with its Sytiem of Finance, that I am constrained to make fotre fe w obfervatior.a on it. Tbs fubjeft is so interesting to every mind, that 1 need make no apology for the t'igreiScn, For the fake of pr.-lerrir.g fame degree of method, I will firft et quire, what is the firft situation of Great. Britain as to agriculture? Nxt to a;id laftljr as to her Finance ? I Agriculture ia Great ‘Britain is l .t little attended to. The poor, honest, in duftrious peafar.t is esteemed atnon.'lt the noli, infignincant of his ntajefty’s fu! jefis. The number of acres contained tn Great Britain, is eftiraated at tbcut 49 916 000, of which about oac fourth i6 in cultivation, ad the rest in woods, park**, pleasure grounds, See. The total net produce of lands in Great Britain is about £"0. 000,000 of which the land-1 lord takes /42 ; ooo,oco ; the govern, ment in taxes and tythes 3,000,000, and the iadigent, hard-lofouting pesunt* ry, only. Thus the farmer gets about one fourth of the produce of land he cultivates, and thus Great- Britain yearly importsprov.’fions, though three fourths of the kingdom feaain uncultivated. Next as to commerce. The ftatemtnt which was laid before the Eritith House of Commons by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, July xvb, 1804, contaiue the following information—The official value of Briti/h mnu.’afluret exported from Great-Britain, was ou an average of fix years, ending 5.11 January 1804, 834,420. The official value of foreign merchandiae exported from Greai- Britaia, was ou an average of fix jeara, ending sth January The sum to be r ifed in Great Britain, to answer the current txpeuces of the year 1804, amounted to 498,451, ! mo ft double the value of Britijh manufa&ures and foreign merth ndife, x ported f ‘om that kingdom in the fame year. 1 make this impcieci ftatemtnt of the agrieu’.tu al end ccmmercial fiiua tuation of Great-Britain, because it ia in many refpebts the moft interesting cation in the world, and because fui h a ilatemeut will throw Be: light oa the iubjtd of this cllay.
