N 36.
we have lavimed away fuch immenfe Sums in a vo- lunfary Manner ?
Aa ingenious Writer on this Subjeft makes the fol- lowing Oofervation, concerning the Charge of main- taining Gibraltar, and fuch Objections againll it.
" Strange and furprizing Inftance of our new " Frugality and good Husbandly! that we, who foi? " thirty Years together, have rioted in Millions ; ' and, 'till Heaven bleffed us with the prefent Mini- " Jlry, never minded what we gave; nor to whom j " we, who drained the Exch
...equer, and mortgaged " the Nation, mould now, from a Principle of " Saving, facrifi' e the fole Fruit of all our Expences, " to prevent a Charge, which is but equal to That " of a few ufekfs Penjlons ! Thank Heaven, from " lavifning Millions, we are grown thrifty in Pounds* " Shillings and Pence.
However, this Evil might, long ago, have been remedied, and may ftill be remedied, by the Probity and good Management of the prefent Minijfen ', for it is generally believed that if the Place inDifpute had been declared a free Port, like Leghorn, on our firit PofTeffion of it, being full as commodious as that for Trade ; and if a civil Government had been efta- blifhed there, inftead of a military One; it would long fmce have maintained itfelf by a moderate Duty on all Goods imported and exported ; and would thereby have deprived the neighbouring Ports ef Spain of great Part of their Trade ; by which Means there would have been no Complaint of its prefent Charge ; but, on the contrary, the Profits made by its Governors, added to the other Advantages of a free Port, would, in all Probability, have been more than fufficient to have eafed the Government at home f that Burthen.
