baronet's  recommendation  to  take  time
to  consider  the  address,  to  pause  be-
fore they  congratulated  his  majesty  on
the  condition  of  tife  country.  The  exist-
ing system  of  finance  was  temporising,  and
must  be  ruinous,  and  as  far  as  die  last  four
years  went,  his  statements  proved  it.  No
roan  was  more  desirous  than  himself,  that
we  should  preserve  our  hi^h  station  by
th6  maintenance  of  our  public  credit ;  and
he  trusted,  that  whatever  sacrifices  it
would  be  necessary  to  make  would  be
made  by  all  classes  equally ;  and  that  there
would  be  no  such  unjust  and  unprincipled
proposition,  as  to  injure  the  public  credi-
tor for  the  advantage  of  any  other  class.
