The meant of obtaining ten nilH-.ns of livres, for the ccnJlruß'ion of a thousand er mire Shan a thousand gun-beats. Pitt proposes t<» raise the sum of seven million.-sterling (161 millions Toumois) for the year 1798, by tripling the assessed taxes According to his calculation, there are in Eagland 11400,000 houses. The number of pef&wß upon -whom taxes fall, it>< hiding men, women, and children, he eftimatuß at ab«rut seven millions and a half. He fays, that, of 1,400,060 houses, about seven or right hundred thousand pay assessed taxes; the others being miserable cottages, pay no thinp at all : the seven millions, therefore, he proposes to raise by tripling the jfieffetT taxes, will fall at the rate of ten pounds sterling (240 livres Teurnois) upon each house He fooliftily Relieves that this resource is fufficiant ta prevent France from making a defeent. Having thus stated the question on one fide, it remains to treat it in the other point : of view, in which it ought to be coniidered i by this country-. Our objeft at present is a d<fc«*t: there is no other made by which to subdue the English government, and to put an end to its tyranny. We are in poffcjionof all the requisite means, except that of passing the i little arm of the sea that separate. France; from England. But, as our objetft is not to ; umbat the English fleet, but to tjcape it, onr mode of tfavigating-ought to be such as that ! rhe English leet cannot obftrn& our voy age Every one knowsthat there aretwo mode, of navigation—failing and rowing. We 1 also know thatveffelswi'th fails mufl regulate tjieir course fey the wind ; but, that hosts : with oars may be moved iu every (Hre&ion, j and with the greatest- facility, when there is ! no wind at all. j Thus the mpft certain, and the lead ex- ' pen five means of pading irrro StighTnj,~in"l spite at the Engliih fleet, are to employ revv-boats, having a small fail, like the Dutch fifhiyg-boats, to serve upon oecafi on. If the French coasts were five or fix hun dred leagues difcant from those ef England, it would be very ridiculous to talk of row boats ; but in many places, there are no ' more than eight, ten or twelve leagues be tween them ; and so the mod diflant parts where we could think of making adefcent, f there are no more than forty or fiftv leagues, |i 1 which may be passed in forty-eight hours, i 1 even without the aid of fad., on the fuppo- ' 1 fition that the boats can row at the rate of I I a league an hour. , The Ruffians transport their troops in < nw-boats across the Black Sea. The Swedes transport their's. in the fame man ner, to the most distant part 6 of the Swed ish empire. The Ruffian can tranf- ! port two or three hundred soldiers each, and ' fix men ire pnt upon one oar. But for 3 making a descent upon England, boats of a c smaller size ought to be preferred—The sea I on many parts of the English coast does not often i«n r i-- I therefore, go close in (hore, and the troops land as easily as persons step out of a vrber- r nr. The espence of the English navy for the year 1798. according to Pitt's budget, is 1 12,500,000!. sterling, or 300,000,000 of a livres Tournois. To aover this enormous 8 expence,- he proposes to triple the assessed taxes, whieh will trffce, at an average, 240 livres from each family. France wants on- ,j ly 1000 gun-boats, which will cost no more 1 than ten millions Tournois. To raise. this d sum, no new impost is neceflary : it will be :1 better to obtain it by patriotic gifts. Citizen Villeri,has already listed, in the Council of Five Hnndred, that many per- t j sons had expressed their desire of contribul- ti ing voluntarily to the expence of a defceat t) ipan England. I love the patriotic spirit f of these worthy citizen. ; and as I desire to v contribute my mite towards this important measure, I have contrived a plan which will enable every citizen to participate in the r,, honar of destroying a government, which, for more than a century,has been the fcoargc of the human race. ' The sum I would propose to raise by pa- a ' triotic gifts is, ten millions of livres, ta be " employed, undet the dire&ion of the ga verument, in building a thousand, or more, r gun boats. » al As it i 9 better rather to under rate than m to exaggerate our means iu a calculation of ■thjs kind, I shall estimate the population of w France at only 25,000,000 though her in crease of territory must make the number an considerably greater. I believe it will be he found, that the men of twenty and upwards re form about one fifth of this population ; lei that is to fay, 5,000,000. One half of P a these five millions, 2,500,000, I shall Cup- ll " pose, are the industrious poor, from whom J f the will rtiuft betaken for the deed: I di- an vide, then,_the remaining two millions and I>a a half into two classes of 250,000 each,and pa and four classes of 500,000 each. The de greatest patriotic gift, according to my cal- rs ' cuktioii, fliould be 12 livres, and the small est 20 sols. Each person should have the liberty of causing his name to be inferibed j n in any class he may think proper. If a ci- m< tiztn of small fortune wishes ta inferibe his name in the firft. class, and a rich man in that of of>>2o sols, they ought both to be permitt- ; co ' ed to-do so :it is equality of rights, not of i " fortune,which is the real principle off quality.

While I feel a fatisfaftion in inform in ing you, that their exertions, for the ad !c. juftmcnt of the differences, between the t _ two nations, have been fincer; and un ,d remitted, it is incumbent on me, to de id clare, that I perceive no ground of ex petition, that' the objects of their mis sion, can be accomplilhed, on terms! , s compatible,with the fafety, honor, or the y efiential interests of the nation. This refulc, cannot with justice be at [ tributed, to any want of rfioderation on ( j the part of this Government, or to any r indisposition to forego, secondary inter -0 efts for the prefervntion- of Peace.— Knowing it to he my duty, and believing ~ it to be your wiih, as well as that of the great body of the people, to avoid by all s conc«ffions ariy participation « in the contentions of Europe, the pow- ! ? ers vefte.d in our Envoys,were comtnen e mrate with a liberal and pacific policy, j v and that high confidence, which might ' 1 j'jftly be rcpolpd in the abilities patriot- j ( lfm and integrity ef the characters to whom, the negociations was committed. ' After a careful review of the whole fub jeft, with the aid of all the information I have received, I can discern nothing, | which could have irifured, or contributed to, success, that has been omitted on rfiy part, and nothing further which can be attempted, consistently with maxims, for ' which our country has contended, at e- ■ very hazard, and which constitute the ' basis, of our national fovtreignty. v | Under these circumstances I cannot for- 1 - bear to reiterate the recommendations,' < I which have been formerly made, and to 1 exhort you, to adopt with promptitude, c decision and unanimity, such measures 1 as the ample resources of the country as- c ford, for the protection of our feafafing c and commercial citizens; for the defence a of anv exposed portions of our territory j c for repleminingoiu* Arlcnals, eltabl lining [ foundries and military manufaftures ; s and to provide such efficient revenue, as ? will be necessary to defray extraordinary " expences and supply the deficiencies, which may beoccafionedby depredations «i On our commerce.
