§12 Particular interests adverse
cause, need of retrenchment
55.
So much for sufferings
and interests of men at
a distance: think now
of those at home. In
some quarter retrenchment
must be made:
in none could it with
so little suffering.
July 13. Per Finance
Minister contributions
470,000,000: expenditure
580,000,000 – Royal family's
expence, exclusive
of King's do. 40,000,000:
Charles 2d. –
20,000,000 – Ways and
means, sale of the
whole Domains, and
17th of the Clergy.
56.
Surely as it will in
time add to resources,
for a time the change
will add to the exigencies.
§12 Particular interests adverse
cause, need of retrenchment
The greater the retrenchment
from the expence of the dominion,
the less will it
need be from the property
of King, clergy,
and Public Creditor.

Emancipation Spanish
§12 Particular interests adverse
cause, need of retrenchment
58.
In these three quarters
no retrenchment without
much suffering. Expence
of the dominion, the whole
may be retrenched with
out scarce any suffering.
For example.
1. Ammunition, none,
forbear to supply the portion
required by the dominion.
So stores of all sorts.
2. Also men for Army
and Navy as yet unraised.
Sole sufferer the demon
of ambition.
58 (a.)
Cortes suffering sitting 13. July
1820 – per Canga Arguelles
War-Minister.
59.
Sole quarter in which
by retrenchment from
dominion-expenditure
suffering would be produced.
Council of the Indies.
For these, as for all
quondam permanent
funds, present subsistence
will be requisite. To decide
between the present
and the future in this
particular, belongs not
to this purpose.
In thus warning on the
demon of ambition, I
have King, Clergy, and
Public Creditor on my side.
