multiplication of posts: it seems difficult A
bad post may be abandoned for a good one: but the it seems
difficult to conceive any advantages to be obtained
from the multiplication of posts adding of post to post, that can compensate
for the expence: in an economical
no less than in a military point of view the result of division seems to be weakness
rather than strength,
seems to be the natural
consequence of stamina
.
The supply for the embarkation of 1797
may perhaps after all prove more abundant than
it appears: a great part of the expence may be
found to fall upon the succeeding year; upon that is the present
year 1798. The ground for this conjecture
is—that in a former instance year in the year 1790
in which the embarcation was beyond example
copious, (1790) (2,029), the home expenditure was beyond example
low: no more than £28,444 and a fraction: the burthen fell upon the next
year (1791) during in which the embarcations numbers shipped off (408) scarce
amounted to more than 1/5th: in this year same year, 1791 the
home expenditure was no less than £78,640 and a
fraction: thus, when the embarcation was as 5 to 1, the
expenditure was little more than as 1 to 3.
