50 
naries of the army in 1802, would 
not exceed one half of its amount in 
the preceding year. It was also sa- 
tisfactory to reflect, that the econo- 
mical management of the naval ser- 
vice had effected a reduction of no 
less than four millions and a half of 
navy debt, He next stated the 
supplies proposed for the year 1803, 
and the ways and means by which 
they were to be defrayed as follow:

He next proceeded to consider 
the supplies of the year as distin- 
guished between permanent services 
and such as were only occasional. 
Under the former head, he observed, 
might be included the navy, the ar- 
my (except that sum which might 
be voted to make good the excess Sof 
the extraordinaries of the present 
year, which he estimated at one 
million,) the ordnance, the miscel- — 
Janeous services of Great Britainand ~ 
Treland, and the imterest on ex-— 
chequer bills, although on all those 
services it was possible that reduc- 
tions might hereafter take place. 
The total amount of those charges" 
was about 16 millions, of which the. 
British proportion would somewhat 
exceed £14,100,000. Inthe latter | 
class might be placed the corn 
bounties, the excess of the army ex- 
traordinaries of 1802, the repay- 
ment of exchequer bills, and of th 
adyance
