as it might, the suppress;on of the small notes would cause a great amount of five and ten pound notes to be withdrawn from circulation. He knew Bankers who were new preparing to lessen the amount of their notes of all sorts, in the natural apprehension that the absence of small notes would render them more liable to runs. The panic of 1825 wat most unjustly ascribed to the small , notes; he •firmly 'believed -that- ito-avould equallyhare taken place if no small notes had been in existence. The Noble Duke_said the small notes were fictitious capital. This true, and bills of exchange and prorhissoty notes of all kinds were also. fictitious capital. Upon the principle of the , Noble Duke, there fore, they ought to wage wat upon one as well as upon :the Othir. How was the immense debt contracted during the war created but by means of fictitious ca pita?' and it was a hopeless and desperate undertaking to attempt its reicayment in a capital of solid gold.— They were told that there were twenty-eight millions of gold now In:Circulation in the country. If this were sd, it only prorted that they were employing this great amount of the national capital, in the performance of operaticins which a very few pound's worth of rags would perform quite is well. The - Bank Charter would expire in, four years; ft would have been wise to refrain frtim any interference with the currency until after this period, When it might have been found possible to establish such a system of banking as would have given the citrit6 the advantage of a currency'at once econo mical:and secure. He objected to the Bill als", inas: attach as it was an unnecessary and cruel addition to the penal * legisliture of the country. - After • insisting at'considerable length upon the advantages of a slicer •inpreference to a gold currency, the Noble Lord 'con cluded by protesting against the prinCiple of the Bill. '.Lord GODF ‘ RICH had heard with great 'Satisfaction. the very clever and able manner in which' his Noble Etiend had defended this measure, and with equal satis tlction the assurance he had given of the deteiminition of his Majesty's Government to adhere to the principle of the Act of 1826, from' which he 'was persuadedthey could not deviate without the gieatest injury and the most fatal calamities. 'He no 'longer entertained: the slightest apprehensions upon that head. The Noble Earl had clearly and forcibly argued in favour dt his pieuliar opinions upon this : sulslect. In thoie'opinions he conic, not concur. The ioea which pervaded the whole of. what had fallen from the Noble Earl seas, that paptie Was pieferable to gold as a medium of circula r tiOn..., If this principle should be adopted, they' would have no gold in Vie country, and would be compe ll ed . . .. et again to recur to the desperate measure et a Bank Re sanction. It *had been said that the one - pound nova were not the cause of the panic of 1825.. He never con tended that they were. He knead that similar convul skins had taken place before any small notes were in existence.. But it was found that gold would not cir culate togekher with them. The convenience of the - e .. • .. smaltnotes in the agricultural districts was much' in sciied oi; nor . did he deny that they 'were convenieta ; bet they were also Very dangerous, because, being , • prinaTTO)x in the hands of very poor people, on the aKiiipst rum*, of insecurity, a run upon'the banks Aricl. 4,k . . the . mischieitaus "consequences ensued, of ick the_ distress of the labouring classes themselves aria-perhaps the Most deplorable, ' Oh the teimina tioia ,of . ilac.,arisr, • all patties agreed as to the 'ne; ceisityoccetusaing to a sound currency.

In this state of .things every thing was justifiable tisat cont.:lldd to the resources of England. There was ticsidgiojwceksety for the Bank Restriction, in order to liesapiard in this country. All the bullion in Europe , eacepa'Whee We retained. was finding its way into the trapdi otthc Revolutionary Government of France. At the. .iime of the Bank Restriction , the intention was de , c;areat lay the Government and Parliament of this coun ill of returning to a metallic currency as soon as pos. w.ble. Thii intention had 'been proclaimed at qy renewal of the rcttrictions. It was a point of na tinssasi faith, and it was. necessary' also to place the =lions of commerce upon a secure foundation.— conversed much upon the subject of theßanklte strictioas-with the late Mr. Baring, who,although he ap powesi of.the measur eas a temporary expedient,_ had re- to tote far iron account of the difficulties hefaresaw On the reaumption of cash payments. He(the Noble Lord) had always been of opinion, that let Oldie difficulties be Jas great as they migl.r, it was their duty to struggle ' with t hem, and' to overcome them. Those difficulties • were now nearly conquered, and he should strenuously atipp . ort the measure as necessary td 'make the victory . ersionlete.. • ile.coald. got tigiee with the Noble Earl in tfie.espedieno of establishing two concurrent surodat OS pi false, silver and g , illd. This would only create trouble and confusion. The Nbble Lord here entered into a comprehenskik review of the principles "of Bank is•• las, And contenAl that a bank, if cenductedupon sound ,principles, cogrinever become bankrupt. He doubted whether the re was an adequate quantity avid no* in the country. h When the gold coin was called in in the time of Lnr.d .

This Marquis qf 'l4l .-.JE contende4that by the present 4`. meaiure they were going Gm:forte extome to another. It had not been shown br;:an.y. one ihatthere was no medium which slight safely have bei)wresor4d to, and to show this he thought was incumbent upon those who urged the adoption (lan extreme measure like the pre sem-17nm tire. House. The- system- proposed was likely, in his opinion, to interfve materially with the employ. -ment of the labouring classes, and to accelerate the pro gress of those evils whiCh the administration of the Poor Laws had already produced. He did no: see why some measure might not be brought forward for the regula tion of bankers. From 1797 to 1808. a period of ten years, there had been an immense circulation of small notes, and yet no depreciation whatever. Lord CALTHORPE admitted that the measure now before the House was a necessary consequence of the Act of 1826. By that Act a distinction was made be tween the bankers of England and Scotland, and those who approved of that distinction must •of course vole for the present Bill. But he was net prepared to acquiesce in the principle of the Act of 1826. It was applied to England without inquiry. It long suspended over Scot land, but was averted because inquiry was demanded and granted. He felt all the difficulties of the subject ; and the simple fact, that inquiry had been granted for Scotland, and not for England, warranted his opinion that further inquiry was necessary. • • • -Earl FERRERS begged to ask the Noble Duke, whether he thought it possible that the immense debt contracted by this country in papercould be paid in gold ? The Duke of WELLINGTON, in reply to an ob servation servation of the Nohle7Eirl, said that the rneastirg of 1826 had his unqualified approbation. He had stated what he thoug4tt very • good -reasons for t ie present Bill, when . he.,said thax,'Committees cf both Houses of Parliament had conouned -in its perekAtr, and bad both expressed the opinion that they ought to abolish small notes altogether•in Scotland rather than to suffer thera...to circu'ate in•Englaid. With respect to the question put to him-by the Noble Lord who had just•sat down, he could only say; that, he had the fullest confidence of the country beiirg able to fulfifall its en gagements. . • The Bill was then read a second, time, and ordered. to.be earn , gritted on Wednesday nest.

Sit ; iftIViLSON agreed with the principle advocated by the ltight . Hon. Member far Liverpool. It was ab solutely necessary that the Crown should have the power of preventing person% from drilling and preparing regiments in this country for foreign Powers. But.the. present law gave that pother to an informer. It made An informer a colleague of—nay more, a power inde pendent of the Crown. When the Bill was introduced, the late Mr. Canning stated that it was undertaken by the desire of the King of Spain, and he (Sir R. Wilson) maintained, that the conduct of 'Spain, with reference to Portugal, was in itself sufficient to•cail for the repeal of Vie law, and to show that it ought to be considered as nothing but a temporary measure. The law was not an international one; it was maintained only by our selves. The Right Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Pe-1) had done himself great credit by repealing the Alien Bill, and he trusted that he would so 'modify the Foreign Enlistment Act as to render it harmle,s to British interests. Mr.C.'PALLMER explained the motives which had' induced him not to bring lorwaid the subject. Ile had never intended to presume to bring forward the whole of the subject. Ir was one of too much import ance for him to pretend to handle; and he had never contemplated bringing m• re than one branch of it un der consideration. Cu conistances in the first instance occasioned lym to delay his motion ; he then found that many expected the whole subject Was to be brought under review, and to that ta%lc he did not feel himself equal, especially as, in his opinion, the peculiar State of our foreign relations added greatly to the difficulties inherent in the qu'-stion itself. He had therefore 'con sulted with sonic - Honourable Gentlemen, on whose opi• irions-he placed great reliance ; and - the result was, that he deemed it advisable tei postpone his Minion till next Session. Be should, lviveever, be rriost•happy to see the whole subject' brought-'for ward -at a proper time, and .he t , usted hiS Majesty's Government would--tike it into tlitir hand , . • Mr. Secretary PEEL thought it would be Veit ints- . - pedient , for him to give any paiitive'pledgetas to what were the viears:or intentions of - his .Majekty'vOiltern .ment-opon the siibject.. He had, IsOweref,'"OhY r it' : . sufficient attent;on to be able to say, that he thvici• much from the view -*taken by the Hon. Aletisliei for CallingtOn. With reference to what had fallealrotti the Hon. MeMbei for Soutliwailr, he felt convinced that' on further investigation the Han. Gentleman would be inclined to modify - greatly his present proposition. It was necessary there Should he in the Crown a pciwei of restricting its subject, horn entering into the service of foreign powers. Suppose; for instance, British subject's had been in the command of Ttirkish or'Egyptiari stlirs at the action of Navarin, how dangerous Might . have been the consequences•? . Toe same 'sort of consideration would apply tathe.building of ships for the service 'of foreign. countries. It Was not 'necessary for:hith to say . what restriction's should-he imposed, bat he was satis fied that many powerful restrictions ought to be pos sessed on the part of the Croivh.• Ships for parely commercial' utpoies might now be' built for foreign countries withont any license. Mr. C. P. THOMSON stared, that eighteen months' ago a largeiorder tame froni . Egypt for arms, a hich the agents, from thestate of the law, had manufactured in. France, although they could be had cheaper here, and' thus one manafactuleis were deprived of a considerable advantage.

The contrary was tfw fact, If he looked _back t i history he found no greater curse than those bands who went about offering theniselves in . war to the service of that country which gave them the highest pay. • . a Si r R. WILgON said, that he was not surgrised at . • .the zeal of the Right Hon. Gentleman upon this subject, because he. believed hint to have been an agent to the King of Spain . in having the Bill passel Mr.y..wyNN.me to order ) and said, that if this were intended as a joke, it. was but a bad and miserable attempt at one. At the same time he must say i that the Charge thus brought against a Member of Parliament was a foul and libellous one, and he called on the [louse for its protection... • • Sir R. WILSON said, that if the Right Honourable Gentleman had been in the House when he spoke, lie would have heard him say, that it was stated as a fact by a Minister of the Crown (Mr. Canning), that the Bill was passed by the desire of the King of Spain; and he (Sir R. Wilson) considered all who acted in conformity with that desire as agents of the King of Spain. He had also said, that it was discreditable and disgraceful to permit such a law to remaut, and even more just on the part,of the King of Spain-than of us; but he would now say that the Right Honourable Ger.tleman had supported that Bill,, and be believed did so from • the spirit that ever animated histvrty—that of hostili:y to liberty. . , The Sr.RAKER said, the House would see, as well as the Honourable-Gentleman himself, that he had at the,outset:reiracted rbe disorderly expression .he had made use of. He (the Speaker) understood the Hon. Gentleman to say, on his recollection, that a r elio.Azer of the Crown stated this. measure to have been passed at the request of, and from-that he inferred an agency to,. the Prig of Spain. What the Honourable Gentleman called agency-was the act of the British nation ; and he should, therefore, recollect that the whole State was the agent. Therefore he. would see that he was not borne out by his own argument ; neither •was his statement such as could be borne out. • • - . Sir It.
