%e* Ona fair examination of the above Statement, it will be seen, that notwithstanding the reiterated 
assertions during the two last Years, of the Country being in a career of unexampled Prosperity; the 
Revenue of the Post Office, affords no evidence of any such Prosperity, on the contrary, if the increas- 
ed rate of Postage since 1805 be taken into account, the number of Letters passing through the Post- 
Office hiuth not increased since that time, a period of Twenty Years. — Vide Statement of the Income 
and Expenditure of the Government in each Year since 1792, — prefixed. POF The £13,700 P2Nsions 
charged below £ 5,000 are paid to the Duke of Marlborough, £ 4,700 to the Duke of Grafton, (Vide Lxcise) 
and the remaining £ 4,000 to the Heirs of the Duke of Schomberg. >
