But this increase would ul timately prove fatal. If we did not look our culties in the face in the time of peace, in the name of. Goo, .when should we be able to do it ?—(Hear, hear.) If it was not effected after five years of ponce, let every Gentleman lay his hand on his heart . Mid say what would be ,the situation of the coun try were a war or an armament to intervene, and find us with nothing but paper resting on paper?— (Mgr, hear, hear.) But the Right Honourable Gen tleMan:might say—Do you regret that I should raise the public revenue? . Certainly not, if that rise pro deeded from sound causes. But he regretted it, be cause it had no solid foundations, and held out hopes Which would never be realized. All:knew that great fluctuations in the Funds must prove injurious to the country. But there were 'men who desired such fluc tuations. In 1817, the Three per Cents. were about 6S or 64; but by the mere operation of paper, they had been raised to 84 in about nine months. This extravagant rise could not be attributed to any thing else than the issue of paper. The Right Honourable Gentleman had come inflamed with the idea of pay ing off the Fire per. Cents, but it was bottomed on paper, and he knew he could..not pay. He would, perhaps, ask, whether he (Mr. Tierney) would be sorry that,the Five per Cents. should, be.paid off? Undoubtedly, if that payment were produced- ,by in increased and forced circulation. He `called it a forced circulation, because the public had my choice left whether to take or to refuse the paper.' Thus to raise the price of the Funds, and to reduce the inte rest, was (what he could nut express in other words, for they would not impart his meaning,) what con stituted a fraud—(Hear, hear.) • Individuals had placed their money in the Funds, on the faith of Go venunent that the restrictions on cash Payments would cease six months after the return of peace. But would they have done so if they had dreamt that those restrictions would be continued years afte* peace, for co other purpose than so come at their in terest ? First, the price of all necessaries of lie were tamed for them by the system adriptcd ; and next, their interest was to be reduced! Then th ey were to Le told that no wrong liat been done them, but that they suffered &eta causes which increased the pro sperity of the country.

There was amongst them i. p, histior of the precious metals, and an admitaiien •orpaple k fOr which no reasoning could accottpe e , • With-•a vole to enable the Bank to make good its:engagements; the Right Honourable Gentlernan.had proposed to pay off a certain quantity of Exchequer Bills. But the moment it was seen Lord Liverpool appeared in earnest, and acted as ifle. was really determined that the Bank should resume Cash. paynienty, what folloWed ? Why ; a Deputation was sent from the City to Lord Liverpool, arid another to the Chan cellor of the Exchequer, protesting against the mea sure, and declaring, that if it were carried into effect, the greatest pOslible inconvenience would fall on the commerce a the country, and the City would absolutely be star for want of a circulating me dium. This wa s Witt up till within a few days of the meeting of the present Parliament," when a pro mise was obtained that the Bank Restriction Act genii be continued for another year. In conse quence of the alum which had prey fled, Stocks had fallen to 74, a decline of abotit tea per cent.— Then, on The apprehensions of those connected whir l the money-market being set at rest, there was a rise 'again of six or seven per cent. Now, who, he would ask, were she gainers by these fluctuations in the price of stock? Designing men, whose schemes ought not teibe encouraged. Who were the losers ? Honest men, who sought no unfair advantage, and who had the simplicity.to place such confidence in Ministers as to believe that they meant what they Mi. These persons were frightened by others who better understood the manoeuvres of Government.— When Stocks had fallen, they were told, " 0 ! you had better sell out, for you may depend upon it there will soon be a terrible smash in the Stocks." These soW out, the others bought in, and then the Chan cellor of the Exchequer. was prevailed upon to pro wise that the. Bank Restriction Act should be conti nued, and the Stocks immediately got up again.:— ' Such was the system 'acted' bison . in the money mar ket, and by these means nothing 'like public credit had been left to this devotecicountry. Here in our public funds the wary could always take advantage of the.,unwary. The man who was aware of the de signs of Government could gain at the expense of him who knew .nothing pfthenf; and he who knew what the Legislature would do,, had an advantage over him who had no idea what weie the questions about to be broUght under the consideration of Par liarr.ent—:(hear, hear). ,Was it too much then, he would ask, to press for an inquiry, in•order that the House might have before it the grounds on which it should cornetts the most important decision that ever took place in this country ? Why, then, was it intended to Object to his proposition?—lt was in' .order thit the Right /rep. Gentleman might have a Committee tif Inquiry foinied iit• his own way. The Right Hon.Gentlornan did not say that there should be no inquiry, but that lie (Mr. Tierney) should not !be the McNer of it. He was not himself wedded to ,his plan of inquiry—" I offer the Right Hon. Gen-. Alanan," continued he, e‘ his choice, that he may take this place, and I that plact."—(Lcui/ bosts 9f . laughter.) let hot the House suppose that ha was seeking for the Right Hon. Gentleman's place ; it was no such thing :.for no mop, in his wits, could feel awi to get into the Right Hon. Gentleman's situation, until affairs were put On a better foothrg, than they were at present.—(Moritasighter.) From the intention the Right Wit. Gentleman had at first shewn not to have an inquiry, and his afterwards expressing a - readiness to have one, hetMr. Tierney) suspected that all this was a trick and contrivance on the part of the itight:liononrahle Gentleman.... The oiggistion of a Conimittee did not cons from him, but front the Book. The thing now aeced cot was, to have an inquiry into .the solvency ef the ; and be dared to'say, that the Bank would be Ole to make.out a very satisfactory stateMent 'of its affairs..AComitiittee, foraged according to:the Mg gestion of the Bank, would veryuvell ; but :111 was Fearfial' respecting the Right ll6d. Gentleman': sno ;,iyes, when he propoSed to insert words in hit's Motion .so as tO.gire a chasacter.to the Contrhittee which the Bank never intended it to have. If' the Right Hon, tlentlemats 4hlted for the same Committee • which he Mr. VieineY) harked for, then there 'was no difflr lance Stetween them. Oolv let this 'Cipfuttittee •he •appointed, then there*oold'he nn end Of his motion, and he should be satisfied. But if nothing else was •• - intended than A rank and' general reference to a .Committee' of..ss,Se 'Right . llisnoproble Gelttlemen's own choosing, it would 'lead to, no defioitiVe Con.; elusion. He now spoke in the presenctof several. new Members who did not know the f4hancellor of the Exchequer so well *as *the old oncs. man was so expert as that Right Flonciurable Gentleman in taking advantage of the suggestions of others,' On a former night, when hisitlon. Friend (nr..Greis. fell) said he should be able to Save the counts y icon siderable sum of money, the `Chancellor of EX chequer immediately availed himself of the hint, and Said he should do the thing himself. Just as hit Hoq. Friend was on tliftiolnt of concluding'bik race, the Chancellor of the EiCheilnei 'came . up to him near the post, 'threw hint 'off his hotse which he mounted himself, and then cried out—:" See whet a jockey I am !"— (Loud fte would he recollected ghat a struggle the Right Hon. Gen tleman had niade to perpetuate the income tax ; and after he was defeated in his attempt, and lost that tax, he took occasion to say, exultingly-:-" See what I have done ; have I not saved 17' millions foethe country,. which used to be paid as income taxr A thing had taken Oleo With regatdto sine cures..

The Best thing 'Would be tojtare a Committee which would require distinct and categorical answers to particular ques tibns. He .believed that this was naerelf an experi ' inert which' the,ltight lion; Gentleman wanted 'to try on the new Parliament, to see who would vote . for, and who against him. For his own: part, hi should persist in his motion, and he called on all the .young Members to support him. 'lf tieqnight be'a lowed to use)" sporting phrase, he Would say, thit those young Menibirs could not have abetter oppcir tunity of blooding ihemselvei than by supporting him that night. lifr. Tierney then toncludetwith'moi ing,—" That a Select Cinuitittee be -appointed to consider of .the effect which the Conrses ofEschange with Foreign totintries had in continuing - the Re striction on Cash Paynaente by the'Bahk of England; and to consider whether that 'Restriction Might not be taken off at the period fixed on by law for its ter mination ?" • The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER re; marked. the language . of the Right Honourable Gen. tleman was sack as to prove "that he had laid aside all idea of conciliation and unanimity., and begged the House to notice 'what had been the course that he . , had thought it his duty to pursue. . -First Or all he (Mr. Tierney) bad begun ley announcing. a motion fur a Committee to inquire into the state of public credit, a Committee to which he himself saw such objections that a few days after he abandoned his design. But what had happened in the mean. time ? Why he (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) had g i ven notice of the motion which he had now to bring forward, and which, he would presently shew, 'called for an inquiry more extensive and full than that of the Right Hon. Gentleman himself. This, however,.insteadof eloping with the propotsition, and adopting it, the Right Ho nourable Gentleman objected to: and, as it appeared from mere spirit of opposition, brought the present motion, which was less consplete inks form, and less distinct in its o 'ration than that of which he had s given notice. .was necessary to compare the two motions—but - on the one great point they were agreed, he did not wish to extend the matter of con test between them, by going into those details to which the Right Hon. Gentleman had endeavoured to lead.the attention of the House. On the charges which be preferred against that Department to which be (the Chancellor of Exchequer)had the honour to belong he would be happy to meet him on any occa sion. He challenged him to make his assertions good. To What had been said of the imbecility of Ministers, he had to reply, he could chew that since the peace, more had been done to relieve the Public than had ever been done within the same period after the con clusion of any fornier peace. Up to January 5. 1819, in three yeas after the termination of the war, taxes had been repealed which lied relieved the public to the extent of E 50,000,000, within the pe riod he had described. This telie.f he however did not say he had thought could be safely afforded-- (Hear, bear).—The diminution of the Public Debt which had been effected in the same three years, he would undertake to prove, taking the funded and' unfunded debt together, amounted to from twenty-fire to L 80,000,000 of capital stock. He would under take to shew, that since-the Revolujon so great a re duction of the Public Debi had not been effected as has actually taken place within the last three years. These assertions might appear extraordinary, but he called on those who heard him, if they had it in their 'power, to refute them. This was his answer to the ' charge of imbecility. The only question then before the House was, whether an inquiry was necessary ? and he wished to explain the course of proceed;ng which the Government intended to adopt on this QC• casion, At first he had intendtid to' propose the con tinuance of the Restriction till •Marcb, 1820, on ac 'count of its being well uhderstoed that rich a mea sure was necessary. The French loan was one muse that rendered it netessary,*beeause that lean mast have been drawn from foreign sources, and must af fect one Money-market. Besidee, it seas net only in -Prance that loins were - raised. but in Austria, Prussia, and evesnan America. These were the reasons that induced him to announce bis intention of moving to continue the Restriction until March, 187.0. A resolution, however, was afterwards come to, that an' inquiry would be preferable to any proposition for restricting Cash Payments for a limited period ; k and he Could not he blamed for having frit pro posed the contintlinee of that restriction. As to the Minion, ihiclitie himself intended to make, it ap pearen6 him that the' first- and principal object should he, to inquire into the state of the Bank of England, as to whether they were in a condition to resume Cash Payments. The Committee he pro posed. was Much inere j eligible than a public and open Committee. Ile proposed That the Committee should ,report to the House 'such information respecting the state of the Bank and the resumption of Cash Pay-H nients, es 'could be dischised Whhour injury to .the public service, with their observations thereon ; sand this could not be done in an cpen Committee, nor could any other hot it Secret Committee obtain• in formation from the persons who should be called on to make confidential disclosures. The first object of the Committee he was about to propose,. must be, to see what danger might arise from a resumption of Cash Payments, on the sth of July next. The in quiry should also be directed to the foreign causes; which affected the course of the exchange ; such as Foreign Loans, Investment Of Capital in Foreign Funds, &c. It was Snore with a view to facilitate the object . Of such aninqiiiry,. that he proposed this Com mittee, than any other motiire. He concluded with moving, as. an amendment, " That a Committee be - :ippointed to consider She'State of the Bank of Eng land,with reference to the resumption - of Cash Pay ments ;to report their - opinion on-the same, and also' on, iwch other matter its may be disclosed, without 'juju: y to the public itiwiee." Sir W.DECRESPIGNY'observed, that it would be a material point to ascertain what were the resources of the Battle. ' The Legislature -should know what the natal* and extent of the nteani which the Bank might be enabled to command during the course of those exigencies which they were now perhaps about to experience. The Bank should not be suffered to ' evade the investigation- - -they should not be allowed to throw Any dust in the eyes of the Legislature, but July year next. ti aascrt gold 'dusk ---(Lieghter.) He felt it his duty to support ihe . .lViotion of the Honourable Gentleman. Mr. F: LEWIS said, it appeared this inquiry was ,to he conceded , because the Bank wished to prove that they were not prepared to resume Cash Pay ments, eves with the prolongation of timz allowed to them by the existing law. All he had heard of the improved state of the country, had been at once put to flight by this statement. In war it might have been necessary ' to postpone the resumption of Cash Payments, though he did not say that it was so ; but in peace - thii ought not to have taken place. Aftei peace was concluded , two years had been allowed the Bank to propose to pay in cash, in order to guard against all future disappointments. When these ex pired, they, as had been predicted of them, were found unprepared . . Another year was granted them, but still.they were not ready, though a great quan tity of bullion had been prepared for the purpose ; woulda nd then p i another re in ex tension io his n part , of tli ea after r n x k h e ß d e s e called a U d 'a e s laslas t year ofor.n this subject, he should have no confidence in any assurances that might be given, that cash payments should be resumed at any future period. He was of opinion that the Bank, who hod always till now i thrown 'the ou rs on Mini s ters, . and profe s sed t o b e anxious to fay iniolif, Whenever they might be suf fate to do so, ought not to be allowed the Indulgence they asked of being pernitted to pre7e could not resume cash payments at the tare ed by law. He then entered into the histo, Bask Restriction Act, and of the evils wl• produced, and implored the House to int 4 by .returning to cash payments. put an e, injurious speculations which had grown oi 'measure. He thought the Bank had foolishly, by venturing on a partial payrn notes. Now he considered they ou g ht t. manage their own affairs, such time them to retarn to cash payments as th: might think necessary for that purpose. diminish the amount of their notes now in, Till this experiment had been tried, he, precated the idea of allowiaz the Bank t: they could not return to r;;FII paylne:w Public Debt, he could not sc..: th.' it 1 1 : 1 -1 nished, as they were now told it had he, Chancellor of the Exchequer. The Fit mittee had been unable to find this oet. tive payment had been made that he knee Lord CAS'fLER CAGH ob,erved, tl fectly concurred in the observations of hi. nourable Friend.
