eldeft of the Tiah BaJJjees, whereby there is a Place vacant 

 in the T)ou-74/anne, which is immediately filled up by the eldeft

 The Revenues I could ncvcr Icam that the yearly Taxes of this great and 

 cfMs ^"«-£^g^^-j Kingdom bring more into the Treafury than three hun- 

 dred thoufand Dollars : but it is computed, that the eighth 

 Part of Prizes, the EfFefts of Perfons dying without Children, 

 the Contributions from the independent Kaides, and the fre- 

 quent Anar-eas and OpprelTions, may bring in as much more. 

 The vay of To compcttfate this, the Pay is but fmall, the youngeft Sol- 

 their Soldiers. ^^^^ rccciving Only four hundred and fix Afters every two 

 Months, and the eldeft, or thofe in full Pay, no more than five 

 thoufand eight hundred ; whereof fix hundred and ninety fix 

 make a Dollar '. Now as they arrive not at full Pay, but in 

 the Space of a Number of Years, the young Soldiers receiving 

 an Augmentation only of an hundred and fixteen^p^Tj' every 

 Year, the whole Army may be reduced to about three thou- 

 fand five hundred in full Pay, whereby a Sum, lefs than two 

 hundred thoufandDollars,will defray the wholeExpence. Though 

 we are to obferveat the fame Time, that, befides the Pay, fuch 

 7'tah and Bulluck Bafiees as are unmarried, have each of them 

 eight Loaves of Bread a Day, mdit\\QOdaBaJhees and private 

 Soldiers, who are in the fame Condition, have four ; each Loaf 

 being about five Ounces in weight, and three Afters in value.
