First—Because, having stated in a Protest, entered on thel Journals of this House, of date of June 21,1816 • , " That by rea- 1 son and experience we are taught, that if Coin of different' Me tals is thrown into circulation, varying in the proportion betlivixt their real and denominative value, that which is of greatest in trinsic value has always disappeared; thus, in the course of the last century, twenty-one shillings of lawful Silver Coin, being of intrinsic or market value nearly four pence more than a guinea, we know that all lawful Silver Money vanished from circula tion; and yet it is now expected that our Gold Coin will remain in circulation, though a guinea will, under this new plan, pos sess considerably more teal value than twenty-one shillings of our new Silver Coin!" And having further stated, in a Protest to be found on the Journals of this House, of date 27th of May, 18181, " I cannot concur in passing an Act for the ResuMption of Cash Payments on the sth of July, 1819, or at any other definite period, with oat reference to the sitennion or repeal of the 56th of Geo. 111. ' chap. 60; for I shoultilioknyself by such conduct a party to a grow deceit, which Parliament will prattice on the people of thji country, by passing an Oct which seems to assume the pos sibility that the Bank may, without ruin tolhc Establishment, resume and continue its encamp and salutary practice of paying In cash on demand, whilst the provisions of that Act are in force: I do not now feel that any ciircumstances have occurred which can justify an alteration of these opinions; on the contrary, I, must think the truth of the doctrines then advanced, caxcernlng the consequences of our Mint Regulations, is strongly confirmed by the Reports of the Committees of Pectinate:at, as from them we learn that Gold Coin could not be forced into droll: s tr u t the year 1816, the Public being unwilling to receive it to the new system of coinage being acted upon; that Gold was at that time under the Mint price, and the Exchanges with every country in Europe favourable to es; that immediately after the month of March, 1817, when our Silver Coin was fire thrown into circulation, the price of Gold rose, the Exchangescalculated in Gold Coin became unfavourable, and our Gold. Coin has been ever since so eagerly sought after for exportation, that it has uni formly been purchased at a premium the moment it was issued by the Bank ; and that the degree to which our Exchanges, cal. eulated in Gold Coin, have been unfavourable, as well as the price to which Gold Bullion has risen, has never exceeded those limits which would have been the natural boundary of the one and of the other, if our Silver Coin had circulated in abun dance without any Bank Paper. • In further proof of the justice of the opinions recorded in those Protests, it must also be observed, that though since the month of March, 1817, when our Silver Coin was issued, Ole exporta tion of Gold has always afforded a profit, the importation of Sil ver has, on the other hand, as uniformly secured a profit to the importer-tea situation of things which could only be occasioned by the disparity of intrinsic value between our Silver and our Gold Coin. By the Committees of the two Houses it has indled been as sumed, that there has been of late an over issue of Bank Paper, and under that impression this plan has unfortunately been adop ted; but had that been the case, we know from experience that the Exchanges must lave been nominally unfavourable, whether calculated in our Geld or our Silver Coln, and thit the exporta tion of Silver must have been attended with a profit, as well as the exportation of Gold. Besides, from the following Table of the Amount of Bank notes, of the Price of Gold Bullion, and of the State of the Ex changes, in the middle of each Quarter, since the sth of July, 1817, the hypothesis of the Committee must appear unfounded, as it is apparent, that though the Notes of the Bank of England have been diminished within a year and a half £4,432,547, that is, fourteen sev e n-tenths per cent. no effect has been produced corresponding to that which the doctrines of these Conunittees would teach the Public to expect ; TAU; INSWING ?US ANOI.III or tatiLiettfla., vas rasp or oot.n .urn staves BULLION, AND =X seats 01 TUX NICHAIMIS, IX Tit KUM= 0/ NACU WARM, SINCZ TUX STU 01 suLT, 1817. g ........, 1117 Aug. 18 Nov. 15 Feb. 141 May 16 Aug. 15 Nov. 14 Feb. 13 a Si tZ ;1 30,112,661 3%446,087 98,742,826 27,985,869 26,603,937 26,026,540 25,680,114 . 4 1 .c 4 0 4 0 4 2 4 1 4 1 4 2 4 1 1818 • fieZendly.—Because, agreeing with wino have ever treated upon the subject Wile currency of a country is useful both u a measure of value, and uan equivalent to circulate its commodities, I cannot but reprobate a system of currency which tends, in my opinion, to disqualify Our. coin from the due performance of either of those duties. That it will be disqualified from performing its duty u a measure of value, seems to me incontrovertible ; for uniformity throughout all its parts and subdivisions is the primary quality necessary for the formation either of a measure of space, of di median, or of value. Yet the supporters of this plan themselves acknowledge a gross want of uoifoemity in the measure or stan dard of value they have adopted ; as they admit the silver coin to be disproportioned in Intrinsic value to the gold coin, though silver coin, being a legal tender for forty shillings, must be the measure resorted to in the payment of the wages of labour, and in by fir the greatest number of other transactions. To me it appears that there is no better why of illustrating the absurdity 0 this novel system of constructing a measure of value, than by supposing that a measure of dimension was formed on a similar principal: we, should then have a pole sixty yards long, each yard consisting of three feet, and each foot of twelve inches, similar to the solid ingots of gold at 5e3.179.101td. which are not to be issued in smaller quantities than 80 ounces ; we should next have a foot, as the measure of all smaller dimen sions, accurately eleven inches long, similar to our silver cur rency, diminished in intrinsic value by a seignorage; and then, to bar the possibility of all criticism upon the absurd and ruin ous consequences of such a want of uniformity, we should adopt, as a safegliard, a regulation similar to that of making our silver 'coin e a /eget tender to the extent of only 40s. which of course would be effected by enacting, that this diminished foot sheald not be a lawful measure for any extent of dimension exceeding two yards, Again, P must think that, under this system one min mill bo, equally disqualified from performing its duty as an equivalent, in circulating the commodities of this mercantile country ; for, regarding it in this point of view, the strongest recommendation to a system of coinage is, that it ensures the possession of that quantity of currency which the wants of the community render necessary. Yet it is admitted by the authors of this system, that the security from the injury to which the disproportion in the value of our silver coin may give rise, is the power that Go vernment retains of making a scarcity of the coins of that metal; and that our security for the possession of gold arises from the i necessity the Bank will be under of making a scarcity of paper, such as will, if possible, force gold coin to remain in circulation along with silver coin of 9e per cent. less intrinsic value. So that, far from securing to the Public the quantity of currency which the wanes of the country may demand, it is avowed, that under this system we can only acquire gold by an artificial scarcity a paper, whilst we can only hope to retain it by an artificial diminution of the mass of silver currency necessary (or the conduct of our smaller payments. Thirdly.—Because, ram of opinion, that an alteration in our Mint regulations is a necessary preliminary step to the restore dos of our currency to a salutary state :oind 1 cannot doubt that if the Mint proportions betwixt the chink of gold and silver were assimilated to the market proportions of these metals, or it our silver, coined at the old Mint price of Ss. Std. the ancient standard of this country, was made the sole legal tender, and gold allowed to circulate with an agio the Bank might at any time resume payments in cash, with slimy to that establishment, without ex posing the country, in its present distressed Situation, to the den • Protest, on third reading of an A,ef (Seth Geo.

" One pound sterling will give - - -23 fr. 80c. " Each frani contains 4500 grammes of fine silver, and therefore the 23 francs 80 cents. will contain of fine silver " The gramme contains 15,445 grains English, and then the 107,100 grammes will contain of fine silver, English grains " The pound sterling f2O shillings, by the present Mint regulations, contains of fine silver grains 1614,545.

" Being about 2* per sent. • " Proof, that if we adjust our proportions by Mint regulation to those established by the French Mint, that gold Will arrive from France, according to the present course of exchange of 23 francs 80 cents. " If we adjust our proportions to those of the French, the Mint price of gold,as compared with our present silver coinage, will be £4. ss. 3d. per ounce; and the pound sterling (or sove reign) in gold will then contain 103,226 grains of fine gold ; and then we shall have the following calculation : " One pound sterling, at the present eourse of ex , . change " The French gold coin of 20 francs contains 5806 grammes of fine gold ; 23 francs 80 cents. will therefore give 6622 grammes of fine gold, and the gramme being equal to 15,445 grains English, the 23 francs .0 cents. will give - - grains 106,710. it And to .ff 4. sa. 3d. per ounce, the English pound sterling will contain 112,610 grains of 22 carats fine, and of fine gold of 24 carats - grains 103,226. " Profit in favour of England on each pound ster ling ----- - - grains 5,484. " Being full 3 per Cent. in &Tone of England 4. Fourthly, Because I am decidedly of opinion, that the people of this country will deeply feel the effects of the absurd system of circulation sanctioned by this Bill, which regards uniformity as unnecessary in a measure of value, and which rests its hope of success on the Bank's making an artificial scarcity of paper, aid on Government's creating an artificial scarcity of silver coin; and I do most sincerely regret the disgrace which I fear awaits Parliament, when, by fatal experience, it shall discover the necessity of remedying the evils, which it is now rashly and unnecessarily about to inflict on this mercantile country. Yet that the moment will soon arrive, when the folly and mischief of this unprincipled plan will be practically disclosed, I cannot entertains doubt ; for even if it can be supposed that the scheme could succeed to the extent of gold bars at £3.176.100. becoming the real and practical standard of value, it follows that, as silver bullion must retain the market proportion of 151 to 1, its value measured in gold must be ss. Oid. as ounce, and at that price our silver being coined into ss. 6d. an ounce, there would be a premium of nearly 10 per cent. as an encouragement to artists, either at home or abroad, to fabricate our silver cur rency, which must inevitably create an unlimited Juneau of the money of that metal, and thus compatibly annihilate that power in Government to regulate the quantity of our silver coin, which is admitted by its adherents to be a necessary security for the success of the system. LAUDERDALE f These calculations are made on the supposition, that the propoition betwixt gold and silver, as fixed by the French stan dard, Is adopted as to weight, but not as to fineness; and this gives rise to a trifling difference In the profit to be derived from the importation of gold and silver, because the French coin both gold and silver nine parts fine and one alloy, whilst we coin our silver 11 ox. 2 dwts. fine, and our gold 22 carats fine.

We have received this morning accounts of two more Pub lk Meetings which have been held at Ash ton-under-Line and Glasgow, to take into considera tion the state of distress to which the country and the labouring _classes in particular are reduced.— We subjoin an abstract of the proceedings at both i ASHTON-UNDiR-LINE. In pursuance to public advertisement, a Meeting of the Inhabitants of Ashton•under-Line and its neigh bourhoood took place last Monday at Hurst. By one o'clock, the hour at which the business commenced, the assemblage consisted of from 12000 to 15,000 people, and was still increasing. The Rev. Josern HARRISON was called to the Chair, who, after reading the Requisition for the Meeting, opened the business by apologizing for the unprepared state in which he was to perform the im portant task which had devolved upon him. He dwelt with energy on the present distresses of the country, and tha.necessity of obtaining redress for all I grievances. The time bad now arrived when mis guided opinions were about to be revised, `and acted upon in a shape that must ultimately render them triumphant over despotism. The hard earnings of the industrious, wrung from the sweat of their brows, had hitherto pampered the idle and the indolent and the very panders of office, with Morality on their lips and blasphemy inobeir hearts, with whips in their right hands and scorpions in their left, were the first to treat with contempt the supplications of a brave and long-tufrering people. He concluded with 3 most pathetic appeal upon the deplorable conditioil of the labouring poor, and their half-starved andia mishing progeny, and exhorted the people to tit 4 preservation of peace and good order. " A letter from Joseph Johnson, Esq. Manchestei, enclosing an Address to the Meeting, and the.AC• dress itself, were then read. He remarks, in his Adz dress how singular it is that the labouring classes should be in such extreme distriss in a country aboun ding with every improvement, both in agriculture and manufactures, which the present state of sci ence could furnish ; and speaks with detestation rf the measures adopted to prevent the importation of corn —a tneasare calculated merely to serve the landed proprietors, while rents and taxes are encreascd, and the labourers wages reduced. He presses upon them the necessity of being firm, persevering, and united in their endeavours to obtain for the people a pre ponderati 1g influence in the House of Commons, without which there can be no security for property, liberty, or life, " The struggle lies between intmen 4 property and labour. Property has usurped the power of Legislation ; and until the class of labourers has gained a decided preponderance, Universal Suffre , v, Annual Parliaments, Election by Ballot, and Repre sentatives not qualified by property, they have no security whatever for any thing."—(Great applause.) " A Deputation from the Stockport Union Rooms nest read an Address to the Meeting, and proposed some Resolutions, which were afterwards embodied among those adopted by the Meeting. Mr. WRIGHT SMITH then addressed the Meeting, and expressed .a strong hope that the Borough T. 'rants would soon hear their infamy prockimed eNea in their own tabernacle, and concluded by intimating that a meeting of the inhabitants of Stockport and its neighbourhood, having in view the attainment of the same laudable objects as the present meeting, would be held that day fortnight. " Mr. Ssitrit was followed by Mr. JOHN THACKER SAXTON, who begged to propose that means should be taken for establishing a regular communication from one extremity of the Kingdom to the other.-- A Resolution to this effect was proposed and carried. " Dr. HEALY called the attention of the Meeting to the numerous struggles which the friends of freedom had made, and hitherto m ith no other effect than that of adding new store to their already abundant stock of information. The people, hb said, had become almost desperate at the scoffs and scorns which had been heaped upon them. This despetation it was ne cessary to check, and this could be done only by re storing the Constitution to purity. He invoked the people to rouse from their degraded lethargy, but not to act with violence. The Prince Regent himself would soon be convinced, could they approach him with their complaints, that he has been surrounded by the basest of mankind. " Other Gentlemen spoke, and various Resolutions, with Votes of Thanks to the friends of Liberty, were carried. " The people dispersed without any tumult, after which a party, consisting of about fifty persons, dined together, and spent the evening with great conviviality. " The Resolutions dwelt on the following topics: The distresses of the people—the causes of the evils that assail them, and the means of remedy, viz. Uni versal Suffrage, Annual Parliaments, &c.—the Conr stitution of the Honse of Commons as now existing, which is styled a mockery—the distribution of the hard earnings of the industrious, not for beneficial purposes, but in profligate expenditure, as for exam ple, £22,000 for snuff-boxes, £lO,OOO a year to this Duke of York, though possessed of £40,000 a year, for performing the least of all filial duties—the Corn Laws—contempt of Petitions—suspension of Lass to keep men in dungeons, and Acts of Indemnity to screen from deserved punishment—the necessity of resistance to increased taxation until every Sinecure and Pension be abolished, and the country freed from a state of starvation—the propriety of Meetings throughout the Kingdom—and the services of the Friends of Liberty, &c." GLASGOW, JUNE It Yesterday, at 4 o'clock, a Meeting of the Weavril took place in the Green, according to previous aJ vertisernent. The 40th Regiment, some Troops of Cavalry, and the Police, were in readiness to act, Fortunately their services were not required, from the peaceable manner in which the Members of the Meeting conducted themselves. The crowd was very large, and some persons suppose that the r.umbn Might amount to 35,000. The Committee append on the platform at four o'clock, in the middle divi sion of the High Green. About a quarter past four the business was begun by one of the Committee, who begged that the greatest order should be re served; he read the Requisition, and stated that seve ral special constables were in the crowd, ready 1 0 seize any one who acted improperly, and he, for 1 .115 own part, would be the first to point out and assit: in securing any delinquent. " A Chairman was then appointed, and a string el Resolutions read to the Meeting, pointing out their distressed situation, and praying that hn Reri Highness the Prince Regent would be gracious!! pleased to grant such of them as wished it, dit means of reaching the Colonies belonging to pis Majesty in North America, together with the ma's of support for one year atter their arrival; wl! 6 sums tlicy promised to pay by yearly remittances produce. The speaker stated that they had upp
