In addition to thefe fums, about 40 millions are neceffary

and taxes, are continually adding to the permanent burdens

fame career of expence muft at lait terminate in that ruin 
which the more timid may perhaps have anticipated too foon, 
but which by being protracted, will only be rendered more 
general and deftrudtive. See on this fubje& ag
