_Example._

Let it be required to express, in pence Irish, the value of a marc banco of Hamburgh.

The marc being worth 18,45 pence sterling, and the pound Irish 221,54, according to the table prefixed, I state the following equation:

1 marc banco = _x_ 1 marc ban. = 18,45 pence sterling 221,54 pence ster. = 1 pound Irish 1 pound Irish = 240 pence Irish Result 19,99 pence Irish.

The following example will be of guidance to ascertain the value of foreign coin in other money also foreign.

_Example._

It is required to express the value of a louis d’or of France coined since 1785 in the money of Portugal.

As it is seen by the prefixed table that the louis of 24 livres tournois contains 106,37 grains of fine gold, and that the joanese of 6400 reis contains 203,39 grains of fine gold, I state the following equation:

1 louis = _x_ 1 louis = 106,37 grains 203,39 grains = 1 joanese 1 joanese = 6400 reis Result 3347 reis.

The following example will shew in what manner the value of a foreign coin in other money also foreign may be ascertained.

_Example._

It is required to express the value of a Spanish hard dollar in the money of France.

As it is seen by the prefixed table that the hard dollar contains 373,03 grains of fine silver, and that the piece of 5 francs contains 347,52 grains of fine silver, I state the following equation:

1 hard dollar = _x_ 1 hard dol. = 373,03 grains 347,52 grains = 5 franc piece Result 5 francs 37 cents

MONIES, in a military sense, are such sums as are issued for public service, and are more specifically distinguished by the appellation of army estimates. It is usual for the secretary at war to move for the estimates of the army. The following sums shew the amount of the British military establishment on the 17th of February, 1801:--

1,615,878_l._ for guards and garrisons.

1,743,773_l._ for maintenance of troops abroad.

17,232_l._ for land forces for Ireland.

355,000_l._ for recruiting in Great Britain.
