STATE PAPER. EXTRACT FROM THE PROTOCOL OF THE CON FERENCES AT AIX-LA-CHAPELLE. NOVISSBER 19. • "'The Banking-houses with which the French Go vernment had treated for the execution of its pecu niary engagements, and whose universally acknow. ledged credit determined the Allied Powers not only to receive in payment bills of exchange, drawn upon those houses by the French Treasury, for the sum of 165 millions, remaining to be discharged, according' to the 6th Article of the Convention of the 9th oT October, but to cause by their intervention the reali zation of the sum of 100 millions effective value, payable in-inscriptions of rentes, according to the sth Article of the said Convention, had declared that they. could accomplish the different payments to which they were bound by nine instalments ; and the favourable situation of Paris at the period when this arrangement was entered into, the facilities which circulation experienced, the increased value of the rentes, and the prospect of an additional consolida tion of public credit, at the close of political trans actions the roost happy and satisfactory for France, seemed fully to justify the opinion that the terms pro. posed by the said Banking-houses did not exceed the limit of disposable means, and might be received and adopted without any inconvenience either to France or to the Powers her creditors. " Such was the state of things when the Conven tion of the 9th of October was signed. But since the latter days of the same month, various symptoms, the importance of which could not be concealed, ap prized the French Government, that notwithstanding the extensive resources which the Bankers pledged to make g o od, its payments at their disposal, it would be difficult to realize these payments within the sti pulated periods, without directly exposing the cir culation of Paris and of France, and indirectly that of the whole of commercial Europe, to serious in convenience. Althoug,h_ the pecuniary obligations Which the Treaty of 20th of November, 1815, had imposed on France, had been in a great measure dis- Charged by the improved returns of commerce, by the operationX of exchange, and by all those artificial means which in a perfect state of the reciprocal cons. munications of countries restore specie to its props, amount, it still appears, however, or. inquiry, that a very considerable portion of this specie was necessarily employed in adjusting the balauce as against France. To this first cause of diminution in the mass of cir culating value, there were added others, the effects of which could not be misunderstood. Several of the principal States of Europe are en leavouring to substitute a metallic currency instead of paper, which had hitherto fulfilled its purposes. The measures adopted with this view required a large importation of specie; and it is sufficiently proved that this was effected in a great measure by an exportation of it from France. Temporary conjunctures, well known to those who occupy themselves attentively with these subjects rendered this di nil nution of speci e most sensible at the very period when a new creation of rentes was announced by the stipulations of the Treaty of Eva cuation. The Bank of France was the first to cape ricnce its effects. Its effective funds, net long ago' .more than sufficient for its wants, have been gradu ally pressed to a point at which loyalty and prudence, .e essential bases of that establi-hment, commanded it to narrow its discounts, and by the same step to. restrain the issue of its notes. There has necessarily resulted from ens measare an increased embarrass ment in the gen e al circulation ; under circumstances which would have rendered an augmentation of spe cie or its representative signs desirable, in order to absorb the new rentes assout to be brought to market, inch was the insuflicieacy of the disposable effects that the existing rentes could not maintain their price on the Exchange. The fall of the public funds was made manifest, at the moment when causes exclu sively connected with pecuniary relations could alone explain such a p':enornenon ; since t all the political land moral causes which might operate on the credit of a Government were favourable to France; but this depression having on:e taken place, a number of se condary circunistanc?s, and particularly the unre flecting eagerness with which a certain number of holders of inscriptians hastened to dispose of them, produced a momentary diminution in the efficacy of the measures by which the Government and the re spectable commercial housei t!!at seconded its aera tions would soon have succeeded in bringing back the funds to their j.tst level. " The rebound of what has occurred at Paris must necessarily be felt in the commercial relations of other European cities ; and if the evil be not attacked in its root, no country can be safe from its effects. It would be yieldia to a dangerous illusion, to believe that in proportion as specie diminished in France, it would abound in other countries. The totality of the pecuniary operations of the civilized world is ac complished by means of a sum comparatively small. The scarcity or abundance of money is much less de termined by its positive quantity than by the degree of facility and rapidity of the movement which keeps it in circulation. But as soon as any cause arrests that movement in one of its principal centrical point' the commercial transactions, the resources of Indus. try, the operations of exchange, the price of public funds, must every where feel the embarrassment ; and the stagnation takes place on one of the central exchanges of Europe must inevitably lead to a stagnation more or less general. Thus the err bar rassments produced at Paris by the reduction of the discounts of the Bank, and the progressive disappear ance of money, have already become simultaneously evident in the operations of all other commercie' places, and in the funds of every !Government. _ _ . , . a Independently of these grave considerations, the value of the public funds of Frt ce has, at the pre sent moment, a particular int st for the Powers who ate parties to the Treaty of the 20th of Novem ber, 1815, and the Convention of the 25th of April,' 1818: for, having stipulated in the name of thejr sub jects, who are creditors of France, that they shall re ceive the amount of their debts in inscriptions on the grand book of that country's public deist, they ought to neglect no means within their reach for preventing the stock which the persons in question have received,' or are about to receive, from being depreciated ; and the measures which the French Government may adopt for maintaining or ameliorating the price of the inscriptions cannot, for this reason alone, be indif ferent to other States.

EAST-INDIES. fairs, on the numerous inconveniences which may arise from the sudden removal of too great a mass of money, on the injury which might be done to the commercial interests of every country, by the forced operations to which the houses engaged to make the ' payments would be obliged to have recourse, i n or -1 der to effect such a removal within a too limited space of time, the French Government have proposed to the Powers who are creditors, to admit, in the stipu., lated arrangements, the two following modifications,' viz. I. That of prolonging to eighteen months the periods of payment which were fixed at nine months by the Convention of the 9th of October.-2. That of giving the contracting houses the power of dis charging part of their engagements by bills on cer tain places out of France, which shall be specifically determined upon. " The Plenipotentiaries of Austria, Great Britain, Prussia, and Russia, have made these propositions a subject of serious consideration, and the result of their investigation having led them to recognize, " That the proposed modifications in no way dete riorate either the nature and solidity of the original engagements, or of the securities on which all the pecuniary stipulations of the 9th of October, ulti mately rest ; " That these modifications cannot, in any manner, affect the confidence which the Powers have placed in the contracting houses, seeing that these houses have declared themselves ready to - fulfil the original engagements, if the Powers judge it necessary or proper for them so to do ; " That consequently, it will not be difficult to en lighten and re-assure the public opinion as to the alarms which t false interpretation of this measure, or ignorance of its real motives may occasion in any country ; " That the said modifications cannot be considered as a particular advanne for. the French Govern ment, or as a measure of relief granzed to the houses ssith which that Government had negociated ; but as an arrangement of mutual convenience, dictated by motives common to all the contracting parties, and not less conformable to the well understood interest of the creditor as to that of the debtor. " That, France engaging besides to become bound to the crediting Powers, for the payment of interest, at the rate of five per cent. in proportion to the de lay occasioned by this new arrangement, there can arise no real loss to these Powers. " The Plenipotentiaries of the four Powers have adhered to the modifications proposed by the Pleni potentiary of France, in the stipulations of the Con vention of the 9th of October, and have, in concert with him, digested the same, and agreed to them. as they are inserted in the Protocol signed on the I lth of November.
