Ott the third reading of the Bank Restriction NIL Mr. HORNER moved an amendment* to be in troduced into the preamble of the Bill, which had for its object to shew, that it was the opinion of this House, that although the Bill was now to extend the restrictions for 15 months longer. yet that it was the opinion of the House, that the Bank ought imniedi. diately to commence making preparations for re suming Cash Payments. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER had no objection to that part of th e Honourable Gentleman s amendment which went to express the expediency of the Bank resuming cash payments as soon as possible; but he could not avoid objecting to what followed, which was in the shape of directions to the Bank as to the steps they were to pursue. Mr. ROSEalso opposed the amendment, which carried on the face of it an implied opinion, that the Bank. if urged. might take steps for resuming cash piano ts immediately. That Weep* the facia. Beak could sot resume its cash pay ments,or take**. towards it, till bullion was nearly at the Mint pric*. Mr. MANNING agreed in these observations. The Bank itself would be anxious to resume its cash payments as soon as possible • but he wished the House would only advert to tha n Report made by ogle, , illeleiow4moneittree on the 'subject ; that Committee had given an opinion/ that eves in the event of a Peace the Bank could not be espefted to MUM its cash payments in less than two years. lie was him self convinced, that whatever was dime mist be dos* gradually; and that precipitancy would be rulautts-' %fifth respect to the increased issue of Bank Paper it would be recollected, that in the course of last yet i there were two failures of very large private Banks t these failures very much distressed the Country' Banks, and the Bank of England increased its Wife of Paper for the purpose of supporting the credit of the Country Banks. This issue of Paper, however, had no bad effect as related to the price of bullion ; for at this very time, between April and July, bullion fell from ,e 5 Bs. to re* 12s. per ounce. Lord A. HAMILTON was of opinion, that s to leave the Bill as it now stood, would be to leave the Bank to do what it never would do, namely, to re. form itself. It was *somewhat astonishing that this Bill had now arrived at its last stage; yet Rot one single word had been said on the subject of the Bank's j resuming her cash payments by any of the Governors who had seats in the House; or, bad the House even been informed what the opinion of the Bank itself was on the subject. With respect to what had been said by a Right Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Rose) that - the Bank could not resume its cash payments till but- lion tell in price, he (Lord Hamilton) would say that the Bank itself must commence by decreasing its issue of paper. Mr. HORNER did opt expect the Right Hon. Gentleman would give up all the doctioes which he had been so long contending for ; and all be bad proposed by his amendment was to record the dile. rence of opinion which existed between them. He was read to allow that the Bank could not moue, cash pay rneuts till bullion had fallen in price ; but that would never take place till the Bank should re duce its issues; and it was not to be expected that the Bank would do this till the House intimated its opinion of the necessity of snch a measure. With respect to the opinion of the Bullion Committee, that two years of peace would be necessary to enable the Bank to resume it scash payments, why we had already been ten months at peace, yet not a single step had been taken by the Bank preparatory to the resuming of cash payments I and even the Right Honourable the Chancellor of the Exchequer did not now enter- 1 uin any very sanguine opinion that even at the rocs/ -, ration of 15 months the Bank would be any neater] resurnieg its cash payments than it was at present. Mr. ROSE and Lord A. HAMILTON explained. Mr. J. P. GRANT said, no one wished the Bank Directors to be immediately forced into cash pay. meats—all that was desired was , th at the Bank shoeld adopt steps of commencing that desirable eireum dance as soon as possible. Mr. GItENEELL was ofopiniun, the Bank would , never Make preparations for resuming cash payments till they had an intimation from Paillatnent, that k would U. expected they should do so on a certain day I and that bullion would never fill much ih price' till such art opinion was expressed by the Legiilature. The Hon. Gentleman then adverted _to the ptofits made by the Bank, in consequence of their connec tion With the public. For the management of the publit debt only, the Bank received /270,000. The next head of profit was the deposit of public money in the hands of the Bank, amounting to ten millions ; out of which they had advanced three Millions to the Public, without interest ; the remainder, not less than sevett Millions, they had the use of. The last held of profit, and not the least, was the measure nose uss-, der consideration, namely, the Restriction Act, which had enabled the Bank to increase their issue of papst since the year 1797 from 10 millions to SO millions., The profits on this sum was immense ; and be, though himself Bank Proprietor, was of opinion the public ought to participate in these profits to a much greatet extent than they did. Mr. ROSE and Mr. MANNING severally ex plained. • Mr. THOMPSON had so much todfidehce in the Bank, that he was ready to leave it to them at what dale they would resume cash payments. He did not mean to gay no time should be looked forward to at which they Should do so, but th:tt they would be the best judges when that period should have arrived : et tl he saw no reason why Gentlemen should be so easious on the subject. Much evil, in his opinion, would arise from a precipitate resumption. The Bank to do that must buy up bullion in this and other markets, and this would raise the price of it, and turn the exchange against us. The Hon. Gentleman was of opinion that much good bad arisen from the paper circulation, and especially in the north ; and be could not avoid expressing his Surprise that the Noble Lord ( Hamilton), and others from the nords, Who had spoken on this subject, should be so anxious for the resumption of cash payments. It would, in his opinion, be extremely injudicious in the Directors td attempt to make payments in gold till bullion shoUld have come down nearly to the Mint price add he should oppose any measure which had for its object to compel the Bank to act contrary to its own judgment. Mr. BARING Was of opinion that the Bans should, as soon as possible, reduce its issue of paper, and resume its cash paythents. Our payments abroad were now ntarly at an ens; and though heretofore we had derived great advantages from an abundant paper circulation, yet if that Were now to continue, a depreciation of it must follow, to the . great injury of the public. He was perfectly convinced that the Bank, for its own sake, would, as soon as possible; return to cub payments, and that it would nut be politic to crafts!) them. The Hon. Gelation then adierted to the state of our silver coin, and sac; gated the necessity there was for turning some atten. tics to our sitter currency. He said it must he ap parent to every one, that a vast portion of French deteriorated silver had got into circulation in this country ; but Gentlemen would searcely credit that clnrcielbeh Were at this time making a property of nearly 90 per cent. upon the quantity of silver coin with which she had inundated us. Under these cir ctrmstances, he thought it should be one of the first objects with Government to furnish the country with a good solid silvercurrency. The Hon. Gentleman also suggested the advantages which would arise, in the event of a new gold coinage being issued, front making the,piece of gold, instead of a guinea, oily of the value of 20s. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER though not prepared to say positively that the sth of "lily would be the absOlute day on which the Bank would resume its payments, yet he hoped by that time the Governors would be able to do so. With respect to the amendment, he should not oppose it. amendment of Mr. Horner was then agreed to. Mr. GRENFELL proposed, that at the end of the Bill, after the words 51h of July, 1816, should be added these words el and no longer." Mr. ROSE was averse to this amendment; the Sill expressed all its object without it, and therefore she words were unnecessary. ' Lord A. HAMILTON was in favour of the 'anseudment, as eunveying in a stronger manner the opinion of the House. Mr. POLE CAREW was against the amendment. After a few words from Mr. W. Keema and Mr. Gamma. the House divided—For the Amendment 17. Against it 75. • NEW TAXER iiist CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER strid e It was his intention to have called the attention .4)tdie House to the subject of the Assessed Taxes that evealug, but as it bad been wished by some Gentle tuna that put of the debate respecting the Assessed Taxes should be deferred till a more favourable pe riod for that discussion, be had no objection, exhaust ed 'and fatigued as the House was, to postpone it till Monday next, when he had no doubt (as nothing ma. terial stood for that day) the House would get through it; claiming at the same time a precedence for that discussion before every thing else. Mt. TIERNEY had hoped that a general discus sion would have previously taken place, as to the way. in whit* the present plea of finance was to be filled Aafar as concerned himself, he was ready to go into it at that time. His whole object would be, to renew his observations that it would be impossible for the Hew to come to a decisiNt on the new taxes until the whole of the details respecting 'them were before she House. His object was not to oppose the Right Hon. Gentleman's plan; but what were the best taxes to be imposed under it was another thing. Mr. PONSONBY hoped that every thing relating to this discussion would be before the House when it should be brought on. He had, therefore, no objec tion to defete it tilliMonday, on which day there was no particular beams* before the House. Mr. PHILLIPS wished the Chancellor of the Ex. "post , ebeituerl-.._ :pone t i bis debate a few days longer, as some of hit taxes were &jeerer! itti and deputations against them Slrertiestpeeted train the kotintryrind on Monday it *mild be impdslible to hiiii_them in a state of preparation to he preiented to the Rinse. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER trusted that on SlondaY the Hon* would be in pos session of alt the objections that could be btought against this scheme of finance. Mr. PROTHEO.OE said, that as some of his con. stituents meant to petition against the Tax on Menu. facturers' Windows, he wished to know if the Right Hon. Gentlest:lan Meant to propose any modification of that Tax ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, that there were ii great number of windows in manufacturing warehatises, which were more neces. sary for air than light; and on these the tax was not meant to interfere with the interests of trade or ma nufactures. But at the same time it was difficult to suit the tax to every class of manufacturing houses. There were two distinct sorts of buildings, one with small windows, and anothef with few windows, but of a.largd size. instead, therefore, of taking Ss. 6d. it was intended to levy Is. 6d. on manufactory windows, and even then, if they exceeded 100 in the -Wilding, they wete to be taken at measurement, as in the case of hot.honse whitlows. Where the windows were long and Small, and only divided by slight partitions, they were to be counted only as due. With regard to warehouses, it was not tieoposed to adopt a progres sive scale on the rent dt them, but to take gs in the pound at the lowest rate of rent. The schedule would only cohtain the duties, and not the rates of rents; and therefore the duties would not apply to any but those (in small houses) who were not already liable to be thus taxed. Mr. PHILLIPS again pressed for some farther delay; hi order to give time for Petitions agaiast these Uses. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, there would be many more opportunities for receiving Petitions against this measure than on Mon • y next.. HUTlERVioierii Wished to know if any distinction was to be made between boys and men employed as servants by men in trade ? Mr. VANSITTART said, he apprehended it would be difficult to drag any line of distinction as to such :invents. Mr. W. SMITH Considered thil measure as im posing in undue taxation on siiadders used for light in Manufacturing houses. Mt. VAPISI'MART said, this was not con& tiered as a tax on any particular trade, but as a duty' On the country at large. The Report of the CoMmittee of Ways and Meant on the New Tates was then ordered to be received on Monday next. The Committee on the Malt Trade Bill was post. pond till to-morrow (this day ).—Adjourned. SUPPLEMENT TO TM LONDON O,IZITT2 OP TOOIiOAT 1111 Mt OP MARCIL THUttSDAY, MARCH 9.

In order to give your Lordship as clear a view as I can, I shall state the position cf the enemy. On the left bank of the river it was simply a straight line of about a front of one thousand yards with a parapet, the right resting on the river, and the left on a wood which had been made impract:. cable for any body of troops to pass. This line was strengthened by flank works, and had a canal of about tour feet deep generally, but riot altogether of an equal width ; it was supposed to narrow to. wards their lefts about eight heavy aims were iii position on this hoe. The Mississippi as here about eight hundred yards across, and they had on the right bank a heavy battery of twelve guns, which enfiladed the whole front of the positi on on t h e l eft bank. -p r eparations were made on our side. by very eon. siderable labour, to clear ottt and widen a canal that communicated with a stream by which the boats had passed up to the place of disembarkation; to open it into the Mississippi, by which means troops could be got over to the right bank, and the cooperation of armed boats could be setuted.
