itculating medium of the country. Sorely the Mouse e eeld not remain insensible to such a recommendation—. it could not permit the country to continue in a situa tion liable to the same misfortunes. The Hon. Gentle man then proceeded at some length to show Or necessity of the country making such deposits of capital as would enable them, in evert of a panic, to call in their notes, ~D d he els- , conte.ided that the public should at all ones possess the fuLest information respecting the a ffairs of every private banking house. Secrecy with respect to the currency of the country must always sub ject it to the most dangerous fluctuations. Ministers were go ing on blind-folded, and seemed disposed to continue in the same course. But whatever might be their „,i,bev, the Home should not acquiesce in them; the House was entitled to information, and was bound to procure it. It should have all possible knowledge of tie subject before the question of the renewal of the Rank Charter came under consideration. It was quite 2n error to suppose that the publicity which he advo cated would prove at all injurious to the Country Bankers. Their real interests, well understood, would , D Eke end, he felt perfectly convinced, be best promoted, by the system of publicity, and deposits of capital as a security against the effects- of panic. He conceived further, that the privilege of coining—tor it was virtually that—was a most dangerous privilege with which to invest Ciuntry Bankers. The power of e xpanding or contracting the currency at pleasure, was what no individual or body of in.iividuats ought to be invested with. Here he would take occa sion to say, that he thought it would be a great ad• vantage if the Government took into their ,owu hands the whole of the paper circulation of the country. He nen proceeded to say, one of the . objects of his motion would be to require deposits from Bankers, in order to giveadequate security to the public. He trusted that no one would so far mistake him as to suppose that he meanfto have those deposits remaining uuemployed— they could be occupied as all other capital was, so far as that employment could be made consistent with those deposits, being made available to meet any necessities 'which sudden embarrassments might create. /Ate as the period of the Session was, be intended to move for leave to bring in a Bill, requiring periodical returns from Country Bankers, as in the case of the Bank if England with respect to one pound notes. The Hon. Member noticed the cases of the Bank of France, the' chartered Banks in Scotland, and the Banks of the United astes, to show that the system of deposits and . publication of the accounts periodically was practised with the best effects. In confirmation of his statements respecting the banking of the United States, he read the returns recently laid before Congress on the subject. If Ministers were dealing with their own money it would be all very well, but they were risking the money of every man ib the country. He was willing to give the Bankers time before the .publicity their proceedings ought to be attended with was required of them, but six or nine months was the utmost, be thought, aught to bt given them. AU he wished this Session, then, witlia view to give them time, was the decision of Parliament tint publicity should be given to their. issues. A mixed.currency of gold and paper was that bar this country could have. There ought to be just mash gold in the country to answer our sudden foe reign demand---such as might arise from our having bad harvest ; as also.enough to satisfy thassi wbA elide feel alarm at the stability of the paper. As one step to wards what be thought proper principles of totohilhgv be begged to move if for leave to bring in a,. Bill to compel the Bankers of the United Kingdom, including the Bank of England, to snake quarterly returns of the amnunt•of their . Tbe memo. hewn bon aeconded.aed read, Mr. H. GURNEY said , that the pon. Member teemed to have collected 41 that was absurd in every system of banking he had gee; heard of, fer:the' purpose of introducing it into England., His,.-objected to this motion on various grounds, nudshould,recommend the Hon. Member to withdraw - it. 0. , any rate for this Sei- 1 sion.,° • One good reason why he dial Rot think such a question ought to be agitated jut, pow was, that there..., vat a °great operation going on in the. substitution of a metallic eirculationfor the one-ponod notes. The 13ofa ~ Member had alluded to tint : ruin., which bad follows* the sPeculatifita. of J824.....14 should. only obser 4 Or upon that point,deot tbe,fact had,htale to do with the question before the House,* ootmne booker who then ' stopped payment was sniped by spipolatioits,,but all by the too easy credit they vi s% nnd chits, not being able to, call in the assets.they tetolljbad ip time to an. sver the rain upon than.- The Honottrahlt Gentleman . bad Confounded .the systm of °English. slut . Scotch banking, which. were essentially different, ,The Scotch octet circulated on the security of assets not yet in exis tence—on the• security of land, of Ow) properti--- whilst the English paper citculation was op o assets actually in the market. He must conclude, therefore, that the English systeM was safer than that of Scotland. Sir C.. COLE said he should stipporttke ion. Mena.: bet for Aberdeen in his motion, for be bad seen suffi cient of the present system to be convinced it was bad. At the time.of the peace, in 1825, two out of the three banks in the town of Swansea. in the neighbourhood ad Which be resided, failed. A Committee ,of. Gentlemen Was appointed .to investigate their affairs, and one of them was-concluded to be so solvent as to have thirty thousand pounds lef. after paying all the claims on them, 'whilst the other was concluded not to be so solvent. A subscription was raised to the amount of 40,0001. to support the credit of the first bank. That bank, how ever, had not paid since that time above ss. 6d. in the pound, whilst the other, of which so good an opinion Was not entertained, had paid 20s, in-, the pound. This convinced him there was wine mystification in the manner in which , the bankers of England kept their accounts, which it would be good to expose to the public view. 11 The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER did not. think it necessary to make many observatioas on the motion of the Honourable Member for Aberdeen,as his speech seemed, rather calculated .for a motion..itlikh Itaod (or lo+Staorrrour evening than, that whickliftla new before them.

He begged, therefore, to be understOod to guard himself from making any pledge for opposing any proposition to that effect hereafter. when there would be a proper oppOrtunity for the discussion of the point. All he meant to say was, that this was not the period when such a question ought to be argued. With respect to the argument of the Hon. Member behind him, relating to the failure of the banks at Swansea, he thought it only proved the futility of any public examination of bankers' Accounts, when such intelligent Gentlemen as no doubt formed the Swansea Committee were deceived. _ _ Mr. D. W. HARVEY bupported the motion of the Hon. Member for Aberdeen. It the issues of a bank were made public, individuals would be able to judge of its s lvency by the known amount of the property and securities of the owners. This motion would, `.e thought, second the avowed object of Government— namely, to introduce a sound system of banking. Sir JOHN WROTTESLEY said, he should oppose thp introduction of the Bill. He thought it was a suf ficiently plain objection that it could not be carried Vito a law in the present Ses,ion, even if no opposition were raised to it, which, however, could not fail to be - - rai.ed, from the manner in which the Bill affected the character of a numerous and respectable body of the community. Mr. Alderman THOMPSON objected to the course proposed to be adopted by the Hon. Member for Abet deen, on the ground of there being a Material difference between tie terms of his prevent motion and the notice which he had previously given ..f it. The notice only comprehended ".a Quarterly Return of Bank ,Note , ivvued by Country Bankers the motimi was, " for leave to bring in a Bill to compel the Bankers r f the I United Kingdom, including the Bank of England, to make Quarterly Returns cf the Amounr4 their Cncu-. lation." It was Ullf4ir to include the Bank of England in the motion. without previous nrtice, which, if it had been given, might have induced Geutlemed connected with the Batik to attend, and state the grounds of their opposition to the measure. Mr. MONCK said. if his Honourable Friend the Member for Aberdeen pressed his motion to a division, be should certainly vote for the Bill. Mr. Alderman WAITE' MAN objected to the intro duction of a Bill such as that now proposed at this pe pod of the Session. He had no violent prejudice in favour of the country bankers; but he thought justice should be done to all parties, and did not like to hear statements brought forward against persons who were not present to defend themselves. Much of the blame ,laid to the charge of the country bankers was attribut able to other causes than the existing banking syst-m, namely, over-speculation, &c. and the bankers them selves had frequently suffered to a great extent by their customers ! indulging in the .mania for over-trading. Mr. HUME replied, and observed, that as the Right Hots. Gentleman opposite, and other Hon. Members who opposed the motion, did so, principally, on the ground of the period when it was brought forward, and not through a difference with respect to the principle of the measure, he should not n, , w press the question to a dieision. Hopiag that, as the concession would be made' at a figure period, be was content to wait till the alarm and difficulty consequent upon carrying the &nil) Motes' Bill Otto effect bad subsided. He should there fore wait tal April' 1829, when he trusted Right Hon. Gentlemen opposite would consider themselves pledged either to bring forward a measure similar to the pre sent. or else to support it when again introduced by him (Mr. Hume) to the notice of the House. Under these circemstances he begged to be permitted to withdraw his motion. . The motion was accordingly (by leave) withdrawn. surnorneesee. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER having moved the Order of the Day for bringing up the Report of the Committee Supply, Mr. GRATTAN tooft that occasion to move for copies of cor respondence between the Magistrates of Wexford Sessions and the Secretor/ for Ireland, in the years 18.43 and 1624.—Ordered. The Order of the Day for bringing op the Supply Report was then read; and 81r A. GRANT brought up the Report, which was received, read, and the Resolutions severally agreed tot Air J.

Columiasioners of Inquiry. The Treasury only possessed the power of regulating and re-modelling the office effectually, after the Inminadon of the interest. of the parties by whom it was conducted. flowerer, In the present Bill considerable reductions were made is , else charges, and the fees were apportioned to the dudes to be pas. kneed in Compliance with the advice of the Commissitniers.— After the,termination of the present vested interests, the Treasury could defray the expense of the office out of the fees that were pay able wit, and - dispose of whatever residue there might be for the public service. Mr. HARVEY denied that the present Bill was in coasenanee with the recommendations of the Commissioners. The schedule. contained in the Bill harmonised with their Report ; but there were many clauses in the Bill entirely at variance with it. • The Bill was then read a third time and passed.

The . grounds ap oar to be these: Don Micuat. is Regent of Portugal, teengnised by the nation, and possessing the supreme IN"' de facto ; his blockade ought therefore to be oeknowle4ed by foreign countries, on the same prin. ciple as the blockade of Chili before her independence was recognized—as that of Bahia by the Emperor of Bra in 1823—and that of the Greek ports by the Greek vessels. Now it must be assumed, to make good this.conclusion,that DonMtoom. does de facto possess the Sovereign authority, and on this point it is to be observed, that there are in Portugal .two Governments equally entitled to that name. The Constitutional Regency is recognised by most or the towns, and a considerable pan of t h e, population, as the legitimate representative of Don perm; thePor tug uese army act under its orders, sad it styles itself the ruling Power. Don MreueL,. the other soi disant Sovereign (for whether as King or Regent it is perfectly immaterial, the condition urnier whicb,he held the Regency having been broken, and title to one rank being just as good as to the othe,), , wields, indeed, the ensigns of Royalty, but possesses neither the allegiance of the country, nor the power of enforcing it.

The Russians have passed the Danube amidst a thick fire from the Turks ; the latter have lost 12 pieces of cannon, and a considerable number or m eb. Whatever may be the desire of the PORTE with regard to England and France, it is evident she has no inlets. tion of offering terms to Russia at present. Letters from L'Orient, ot the 16th of June, confirta the arming of the Algesiras, 80 gun ship, and four large frigates, which are to join the division at Brest. The Austrian Observer, received this morning, et:s tains no news from the contending armies in the East of Europe. Its columns devoted to political intelligence s are chiefly occuped with articles on the affairs of Greece, from which we have selected and subjoin a few of the . most interesting : VIENNA, Jose IS. The Corfu Gazette of May 21, contains the following article : " The latest accounts from Greece announce that the Greek Government has taken the most rigorous measures against the plague; that the President him self has been t > the infested islands, Hydra and Spezzia, and has placed the whole State (lotto to state), with the exception of Egina and Poros, under a twenty-four days quarantine. Thelforea is divided into seven D!part meats, with a Prelect over each, viz—l st. for Napoli, Argos, and Corinth, M. Kalergi. 24, for Calavrita, Panes, and Vostitza, M. Mauromati.

It is affirmed they have sent two of their prin cipal Chiefi, accompanied by two Greeka, overland to the President of Greece ;'the object and iesuit 4" their mission were not known. The blockade of the fortresses . • in Messenia becomes daily more rigorous.' ; squadrons have landed the crew of the Egyptian. tor-. vette which was detained with Greek prisoneek on board. It is supposed from this circumstance that-the corvette.is condemned as a good prize. Letters from Zante of 22d May say, that the Greek Bishops who here sent to the Morea and the Archi pelago, with the proclamation of the Greek Patriarch at*Constantipople, had, after stopping a short time at Modon with Ibrahim Pacha, proceeded on their journey' to Napoli di Romania, but are reported to have been arrested on the way by Genovelli, Prefect of Kalamata, scc. because their communications seemed to make an impression on the inhabitants of those districts, and to have been sent to the President of Greece. • According to accounts from Prevesa of the 28th or May, which were received at Corfu on the SOth of that month, the Seraskier, Redschid Pacha, was still at Arta. Some Greek travellers, who arrived at Prevesa on the 26th, affirmed, that on the 23'd the Greeks had made a fresh attack on Anatolico, and in consequence of the consternation and despondency of the Turks, bad nearly made themselves masters of the place, when a rocket discharged by General Church fell into a Greek boat, laden with powder and balls, by which the boat and.all on board blew up. This accident caused such code. lion among the Greeks, that they retreated precipitately. Admiral de Rigny arrived on the 11th of May at Smyrna, on board of the Actmon brig, and put up at the hotel of the Consul General of the Netherlands.

Xpte ef.austrias Mawr, , .$ The following intelligence has been received by the Metfiteronean Mad: MALTA, Joist 3. in avail of the departure of the Philomel brig of SOW' sails w.daf for Matseilles, to inforip Oti that drunkenness, there hark bien twesidartee that the cider counties were in tilis Woke TON, than oihers. to Lls (Sir R. Wilson's) opinleili,;thsi tilt Was a mist detestable one, and would press.on those Who hid already misery enough to contend with. Tie *44. tberelbre, oppose the Bill, and move that thetbairdiantolease the Chair. The motion hieing been pat, Mr. Alder Man WOOD dehied that the Bill cnuld in . anyway check as it was not intended to give the Magistrates'any contronl inthe licensing houses in the sale of cider. Mr. DAWSON observed, that the only object of the Bill was to apply to cider and perry the principle that had been invariably applied to beer and ale; and thus to contuse the number of low sale houses which infested the cider counties. He regretted that the Members for Somersetshire and Herefordshire *tie not in the Hou,e, for no persons had been more pressing on Government as to the necessity forthis Bill. Mr.GORDON could not conceive that the Bill would tend to the increase of morality. Mr. BENETT observed, that many of the person who Ad cider, did not grow more than 51. worth of the article. In case, therefore, of this Bill becoming a law, they could not sell it, but mint send it to be sold by others, which would inevitably lead to nunopoly. He wanted to give luxuries to the poor as cheaply as possible, and he .thought every inducement should be held out to them to enjoy those luxurie's at their own rather than at public houses. He would oppose the BBL Mr. W. SMITH said he was sure that more vice existed in London in consequence of the consumption of spirits then hi all the cider counties, in consequence of the consumption of that article. Mr. WOOD opposed the Motion. on the ground that the tax would press heavily on the small farmer. Mr. LITTLETON thought it very inconsistent to impose a duty on best., and not upon eider consumed under similar dr comstances. Mr. WARBURTON was of opinion that the consistent course would be to place the duty on the liquor drank on the premises, ‘ rather than on that carried away. Mr. GEORGE LAMB thought this new duty might be a very gond one for the Chancellor offite Exchequer, but he could not see that morality had any thing at all to do with k. Mr. SLA N EY opposed the Resolution. Mr. WYNN could see no reason why the sale of elder should not be placed under the same regulations as the sale of beer. .Nlr. ASTELL supported the Resolution, tie sale .f eider being in hie opinion injurious to the. publicans. He also supported the duty on the score of morality, for he bad himself witnessed the most disgraceful scenes of intoxication in the cider districts. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER explained. Sir R WILSON thought the House ought not to proceed with this business in the absence of. the Members for Herefordshire and Sornersetshire. A Bill of Indictment had been preferred against their constituents, as a drunken and disorderly set s and he thought they ought to be here to support the charge by evidence. Sir T. D. ACLAND said, that Ms constituents did not bear a worse character in these respects than the constituent. Hon. Member for Southwark. But undoubtedly the M es and Clergy,and respectable itihabit sots of Devonshireorere most anzions on the score of morality, and of fair dealing to the Licensed Via ,tastier., that a measure of this kind should be introduced. Mr. BERN A L opposed the Resolution. Lord EASTNOR had not heard any complaints respecting the eider shops from those counties where they existed. He should, therefore, oppose the measure. Mr. ESTCOURT thought the measure necessary, owing to the many abuses practised by the cider shops. Sir F. BLAKE had an objection to all new taxes, and would, Oterefore, divide against this. Mr. BIRCH defended the population of the cider counties against the charge of drunkenness and demoralization. Mr. LIU UE hoped the Chancellor of the Exchequer would done this question till, they had further information. If it lassod for six hours longer, he would oppose the imposition of this alreir•tax. ' t ar T. ACLAND expressed a wish that the question should be postponed for the present. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER expressed great surprise at the sentiments of the Hon. Baronet; for of all men he had then the most mamas to have some measure for the remedy of the growing abuses of the cider shops. It was not as a fiseil • Measure he had brought this forward. It was the only one within his jurisdiction, as he could do nothing with the police regulations a these counties. He therefore was quite ready to abandon the measure, if the Hon. Baronet was, or move that the Chairman report progress, in order to give time. Sit 1. ACLA ND thought the lauer course would be the best. The CHAIRMAN then left the Chair, the House resumed, and the Chairman repotted progress. On the motion of Mr. STUART WORTLEY, the Route re solved itself into a Committee on the Sale of Game Bill. Sir JOHN BR Y DOES, having previously expressed himself se hostile to the measure, moved as an Amendment, "that the order of the day should be postponed to that day three months ;" but this was negatived without a division. Lord Viscount CLIFTON proposed as an amendment in Com mittee •' that no person having the qualification of 1001. in land should be authorized to grant more than one deputation." After a few words from Sir J. 611ELLIT Mr. Taatencix, Mr. ESICOURT Mr. SWETT, Lord STAIIILCT, *C. &gallery was cleared for a divis ion, but none took place.
