‘In this part of his subject the 
noble Jord pointed out to the house, 
that on the Ist of Feb. -1803, the 
proportion of the sinking fund to 
the unredeemed debt, was as 1 to 
$2, but that on the ist Feb. 1806, 
ihe proportion’ was as 1 to 68. 
After this it was unnecessary for him 
to enter into any eulogium on the 
sinking fund, nor to detain the 
‘house with any panegyric on its for- 
mer effects, or the hopes that might 
be entertained of its future opera- 
tions., The advantages of that fund 
were very sensibly felt in the prices 
13,171,499 
of stock, and in contracting for 
loans, which it enabled the publi¢ 
to obtain on better terms. There~ 
fore, independent of considerations 
of good faith, which pledged the 
house to adhere to this system, it 
was bound to maintain it from poe 
sitive and tried experience of its 
utility. 
The chancellor of the exchequer 
then proceeded to state the supplies 
wanted for 1806, and the ways and 
means by which he proposed to pro- 
vide for them, as follows—
