JOSEPII CLU ParztrAME, 'TARY PRDC MUSA OF LORDS, FEBRUARY s. to IPIWANCE.-.--RANK RESTRICTION. th The Earl of LAUDERDALE moved for accounts It ( of the product of the Consolidated and of the Annual cc Dud% for the years ending the sth January, 1811, 12, Silk 15, 16, 17, and 18, respectively ; also of In the d'ettes imposed it these diffeleht yeses tively ; likewise accounts of the amount of the public . 3 °, debt, sinking fund, charges of management, &c. from 1786 to the present period, distinguishing the r." amount in each year, &c. all of which were ordered. 10 His Lordship then observed, that he had other t ° motions to make relative to the Bank of England, El which had barn annually ordered. Respecting this la subject he was aware that no information he could cl move for would be sufficient for the consideration of 111 the great and important question that must be deter- tc,. mined upon in the course of the' present Session. He It trusted, however, 'that no determination would be a come to upon that vital question, without the fullest ,_ 43 information being laid before the House that it was Ia possible to obtain. He concluded by moving for ac- 11 „T counts of the weekly amount of Bank notes in circu lation in the years 1815, 16, and 17 ; the average amount, the highest and lowest amount in each year, 34 , distinguishing the notes of different sums, the prices 9 of the public funds, the rates of exchange, the num- ti ber of licences granted, and the issue of notes, &c. all t' of which were ordered. Lord KING adverted to the declaration said to 5 have been made in the other House of l'arliament by a high authority, which appeared to hint to be of the highest possible importance ; respecting which, therefore, he felt it his duty to require a clear expla nation from a Noble Earl opposite, to which he was f the more induced from the consideration, that the I most extraordinary reason assigned might be only the ostensible, and not the real reason. What he re-' t ferred to was, what had been said by a Right Hon, Gentleman on the subject of a resumption of cash payments by the Bank of England, and the reason 1 said to be assigned by him why that most desirable event was not soon likely to take place. The reason t assigned was, forsooth, because great loess were. . 1 going forward on the part of another country. If in I former periods of our history, such a thing were to I be said of the Bank of France, as that it had deferred ' making payments in cash, because certain loans were I going forward in Germany or any other European country. would not, he asked, such a reason or pre text be perfectly scoffed at ? As long as this country remained without a regular currency in specie, there I wouli, he must contend, be no certainty, no stability in dealings or transactions of any description. If the paper currency were still to be periisted in, all these incalculable evils and inconveniencies which the country had suffered for more than ten years, parti cularly in respect to the depreciation of credit, would certainly again arise, and in an increased degree. And as long as such a system should prevail,. so i gng . would it remain doubtful whether Government could pay their debts, if they had not the means afforded by such issues of Paper Currency. The Earl of LIVERPOOL observed, he should not think of detaining their Lordships upon topics which were so far from being regularly before the House, were it not from what he conceived a part of what had fallen from the Noble Lord. He would, there fore, again repeat, that there existed not the least dif ference of opinion with respect to the policy adopted in the course of the last war, in reference to a suspen sion of cash payments by the Bank. With respect to the important consideration of the Bank resuming payments in specie, he was always of opinion, and had always stated, that it would, on the return of Peace, be the interest, not only of the country, but of the Bank itself, to return to cash payments with as little delay as unavoidable circumstances would per mit. He would, however, say, that not only in his declared opinion, but in the opinion of some of those who differed from him as to the particular mode, such a return was, from the necessity of the case, a consideration of great and peculiar importance.-- Whatever reason may have fallen from any person, the measure was to be considered with reference to the particular time. Asto circumstances which may fall out, they were what could not; generally speak ing, be taken into Calculation at the time, and which could not be considered but with a regard to their particular merits. With respect to the subject gene rally, he could only state that he had every reason to say that he believed the Bank was fully resolved, and had made every preparation that circumstances would allow, for the purpose, when there was nothing in the situation of the country, or in a view of foreign po licy, that should delay their resumption of cash pay ments, and of this he could assure the Noble Lord. There may undoubtedly exist causes, or there may be circumstances connected with the transactions of other countries, which may make it a fair question for political consideration, whether there may or may not be an adequate reason for delay. What the Noble Lord had alluded to had no influence in taroducing any effect of the kind ; but it was still his opinion that both the disposition and the interest of that Corpora tion,, as well as of the country, was, that cash pay ments should be resumed. Any thing that might hap pen to alter these determinations, viould evidently be a matter of distinct consideration. 10 10 5 5 S 0 1 0 5 0 10 0 1 1 10 10 2 2 2 0 '7I•4O,IIIMITYIiv ING* rer .

This mode of procedure was sanctioned by uniform precedent. The Earl of CARNARVON was of opinion the House might be more deliberate in its course of ro ceeding—there existed op necessity for expedition. The country was stated from authority to be in in ternal peace and tranquillity ; their Lordships, there fore, had not to act in this affitir upon the spur of the occasion. The province of the Committee was avow edly to inquire how Alhiisteis had acted ; but it was evidently little short of deluding the. country to hold it out Its possible that a or proper inquiry could ' be instituted upon infeimation furnished by Ministers alone, who naturally would lay before it only such ThLtLort of the in con. evidence ee as S t .ll ll :ll Y ld ti : U l ti n g i li tlS t P ti rljPer Ce, be . can • nection with the judicialpro.'eedings which had taken place, and with which Ministers seemed so ena mourCd. No danger could now be asserted as likely to result from such a mode of proceeding. But he feared the course adopted in 1801 was strictly meant to be followed here—that of laying a foundation for a Bill of Indemnity; which would shield them from all prosecutions to which their conduct may oche. wise give rise ; even from injuries s:nich might have A
