Wtatiw. ortli. ill lie taxed, we cannot say, but ?ul" lhtr wi" be ! ?,,*"7i""<l.!;r"r?l millions can be! annually raised in a manner the roost ">rrict and unobjectionable. The im ?Z n fvcrwhdminj* taxes impost d ?y the Bntish government have had a *etn7,h? aPP"' ?Ur Pc' P,c?a^ alar,,, em at the v r y mea of taxation; but I.fTi ? V3M d,ffcrcnce taxing rvrru e of iibt' at iii consumption, and in ax,nK only , few. There is\ ^aTdi, tin non be, ween a simple republi, an, economical government, requiring an addition of four or five million of dollars annually to keep the nation in a proper tate of delence, and a monarchical, ex tiavagant nation, who*e taxes for 18 19 amounted to 241,047,164 dollars, for the ma,nt,?ance of kings, qucriis, lurtK commons, spies, armies, navies, &c I he people ot every government con tribute .nore o, less to the support of that government. Americans wili always make great sacrifices for the support of their government, for they have a great er and dearer interest in it? in tact, be >ng a government of the peo. le, thev merely suppom their oun power, ?ri T,','{>e, and authority. I was greatly amused by a conversa tion which I had a tew days ago, on the subjret ol taxation, which a naturalized citizen of the Uritcd States; who, by lint of pains-taking, and in better times than these, had contrived to amass a snai; little fortuue, of about thirty tnous- I and dollars, upon which he now lives, 1 with only a wife, the partner of his early toils to share with him in the ^ good ' things within his reach. This man ?e noujy assured -me that he had nothing on earth to mar his comforts, or to give him the smallest uneasiness, but 'the dteauful taxes" which he was called on to pay to the Corporation; and which fee said he was certain, amoiy.t to more than what w.-s paid by the pecplc of England. W itb the view of undeceiving this afflicted being, I sta.ed to him thf amount of the taxes for the last year, raised in *m1ic mother Country;" ?ot from the real property of the people, but from their actual labour; and which, according to a calculation which has been frequently tested, gives to the eo vernment sixteen thiUhig* of every twen ty earned by every individual in the United kingdom. This had no effect on the "over-burthened" citizen; he was determined not to be consoled by the miseries of others. He left me, grumb ling that he sliould have to pay half a per cent, upon real properly, while la bour was untaxed; and insisted in pro testing that the burdens of the inhabi tants of New ^ ork were at l,a?t as hea vy as those of the people of England. I hat there are many such ? grum bler# as this, totally insensible of the advantages which they enjoy in a Iree country, is too apparent. Fascinated with the tinsel of royalty, which they see only through a dense atmospher. , they are incapable of judging aright as to its disgusting form. They entertain the same antiquated notions, which they held a quarter of a century ago, without for once supposing that things may have altered, or even giving themselves the trouble of investigating the fact. Their prejudices have, in consequence, be come almost confirmed, and it is only by dint of argument, by continually placing before them unequivocal facis, and by repeatedly recurring to them, that any chance remains of ov rcoming their un fortunate predilections. Although the general statement of taxes raised in Great Britain miK ht he sufficient for the generality ol readers it may not be uninteresting to present them with a few of the /rem, whl n con. str.ute that monstrous system. By thi* they will be the more able to judge ol the superior advantages they eniov, when compared with the situation ol a people, of whose comforts, of whose li bert), an 1 of whose greatness, we hear so much in the anti-repub.it an press ol this country; How would a true Ame rican leel if he was to be told, thai, in future, every bushel of salt which he consumed was to be subjected to a government duty of three 0, /our dot lorn? Would he call this comfort and liberty? Would he value the ? glory, of which Englishmen so much boast, if it was obtained at such a Sacrifice' Th ? , s-ime kind of sal, which i, n,o?Kh.? the United States from Liverpool, md sold here at half a dollar a bushel, can not at this moment be purchased in England, t>y retail, below four dollar ? and a halj. On every gallon ol Uomastu liquor, there is a tax of about one dodar and a quarter; on foreign liquors, that i%, brandy, rum, and gin, it is three dol lar* and three quarter* the gallon. Oil domestic wines, the tax is> a ti-flr short o( a dollar the gallon ; on hoitic foreign wines it is a dollar and a </uurtrr. In fact, through the whole circle of enjoy ment there is scarcely an aiiicle but what is enormously taxed ? leather, soap, coal, candies, wood, beer, tea, 'v*?bacco? nothing has escaped the rapacity of these oppressors. I i?e taxes just noticed are collected in England by the officers of the cus toms and excise, the number of whom is almost incalculable. Betides these, there are commissioners, and a host of cleiks and officers, fot collecting the "assessed taxes," and the 44 stamp du ties," which form an important part of ">e public revenue. The assessed taxe* consist ot duties on w ndows, an dwel ling house*, on male servants, on tra vellers or agents, on clerks and shop men, on waiters at taverns, on poiter?; on gardeners, on coachmen, grooms or postillions, on horses, on carriages, on stage coaches, on carts, on coachma kers, on armorial bearings, on hair pow der, on horse dealers, on licenses to game keepers, on husbandry horses, and, though last, not least, on bachelors who have male set vants in their emplo) - ment. There is not a householder in f?. Britain, be his income what it may, that ooes not pay a dollar a year to tnc go v. ri ?nent in name of " window duty." If the hovel which he occupics las o.ore than six windows, the duty increases so rapidly, fai beyond all fair or reasona ble proportion, that the addition of only three w indows subjects his to $8 88, an nually, or nearly one dollar for each win dow. It the bouse has 15 windows, the tax is 830 64, annually, or two doit \r? for each; and it 60, the charge is ft 1 76 16 per auuuin. The scale is graduated till the number of windows reacr. 180, the annual tax on which is four hundred and twelve dollars, ninety-two cents. Every window above thin pays three quartern of a dollar each The tax on dwelling houses is rated according to the rent. A house rented at 25 dollars per annum, pays 7 cents of duly on eve y dollar. It the rer.t is 100 dollars a year, the tax is rising 1 1 cents a dollar; and if 177 dollars an ' upwards, it in 13 cents on ilic dotl&r* l**or cvf.rv male servant retained tor the purposes of husbandry, or any manufacture or trades by which the master or nistrcss shall gain a livelihood or profit, and oc casionally employed in any do .eatlc em ployment, the aunual lax is two dollars and twenty two cents; the satne duty is levied on every male person employed in a garden. Horses used for riding, or drawing carnages, pay sorn- thing more than twelve dollars and a half; and if employed in husbandry only, the tax is within a trifle of four dollars annually. A single carriage with four wheels is rated at 53 dollars; and one with two wheels, drawn by a single horse, pays about 29 dohars yearly. Cans or wa gons, the original cost of which may be from 50 to 60 dollars, " and never used with a stuffed or covered seat, a foot hoard or apron," are charged 6 dollars 44 cents; if they are of the value of 8 5 dollars, the annual tax is double. Even roach and cart makers pay a tax for the privilege of making them. No man can kill game, even on his own property, unless he pays a tax of 16 dollars a year; and if any of his servants accompany him in the fieid, or kill game by his su thority, an additional tax of five dollars and a half is exacted for every such servant. Such are a few of the "advantages" which the British nation enjoy; such are a portion of the 44 blessings" flowing from their possessing a royal f, irmly , a nubility , an established firietthoodj a constitution, styled, by its admirers at horn**, 44 the most stupendous fabric of human wisdom," and, by those who en vy it here, ?* the bulwark of our holy religion." It is evident, that if it has any advantages at all, they are enjoyed only by the rich who can live independent; for the great burd^i of the taxis falls heaviest upon thoie of moderate in comes, derived principally from com merce, manufactures, and agriculture. There is every possible distinction be tween this enormous and profligate sys tem, and the production of a revenue of six oi eight millions of dollars among trn or twelve millions of people, sll free and happy, and raised by common con sent.
