by which the ministers of {he day liave 

 been eir.iblert to involve the country in its 

 pi«sent difficulties. — 14. Tiiat the tundirtg 

 eysteni is, m itself", a fraud on posterity, 

 and ought never to iiave been resorted to ; 

 and, such ptrsons as lend moiiey, when 

 tlie-> know llie capital can never be re- 

 paiJ, rimsi be vveii aware that, sooner or 

 later, their capital must necessarily be 

 lost; and the safety of the people beini^ 

 the supreme law, and the holders of fund- 

 ed property, having been altogether lii- 

 Iherto exempted from all parochial bnr- 

 thens, and the value of their property 

 Laving been now for a number of yi^ars, in- 

 creased by the operations of the, sinkin;^ 

 fund, raised by tuxes from the people, no- 

 tliin>» seems so just, and likely to relieve 

 the pressure of the taxation, as the reduc- 

 tion of the interest paid on the amount of 

 the public debt, or the application of the 

 produce of the sinking fund to the ex-i- 

 gencies of the state, by which measure a 

 great many of the existing taxes may be 

 taken off. This, with the enforcement of 

 the most rigid economy in eveij' branch of 

 the sovernment, the reduction of the sala- 

 ries of public otHcers, the abolition of nse- 

 less sinerures and pensions, and the re- 

 duction of the army, to the usual peace 

 establishment, is the most likely mode by 

 which the present pressure of suffering 

 niay be, at least in some degree, alle- 

 viated.

At a meeting of the gentry, clergy, 

 merchants, and other inhabitants of Liver- 

 pool, held in the town-hall, the lithult; 

 for the purpose of taking into ciinsidera- 

 tion the distresses of the country, and the 

 best means to be adopted for remedyii^ 

 the same, Sir William Barton, knt. mayorj^ 

 being in the chair, it was resolved : — 



1. That the distress winch has for sone 

 time excited the cry of coirplaint in many 

 other districts of the comitry, has at lengtli 

 extended to the town of Liverpool; in con- 

 sequence of which, a great number of our 

 mechanics and artisans are destitirte of em- 

 ployment; and, cannot but contemplate ttr« 

 ne-ar approach of winter, with feelings of th» 

 most poignant uneasiness. — 2. That for tlie 

 purpose of administering all practicable re» 

 lief to the industrious poor, a committee be 

 formed, to which it shall be recoiufneuded 

 to make a minute survey of the state of 

 this town ; to consider of all means which 

 may be suggested of procuring work fop 

 the labourers and otliers now out of em* 

 ploy : and, if it be found necessary, to ia- 

 slitute a subscri|>tion for the relief of those ■ 

 ■who are unable to work, or who may have 

 no other resource. — 3. That the said com- 

 mittee consist of the vvorshipftil the pre- 

 sent mayor and his successor, the present 

 baihU's and their successors, the levciend 

 the rectors of the parish, the preHideuis«C 

 the scveial public charities, the wiagis- 

 trat«w ot the borough, and the churchwar- 

 dens of the pari.sh, who shall be empow- 

 ered to add lo their nuniber as they shall 

 tliiiik proper.— 4. Thut it be revommcaUed
