HOUSE OF COMMONS. Sir F. Bust')Err presented a Petition from Samuel Fletcher, a Brewer, in Westminster, complaining of oppression which he bad suffe red through the Excise. After the Petition, which was of considerable length, bad been nearly read thrsugh, the Clerk discovered that it was not signed. The SPEAKER said, if the Hon. Baronet had adverted to that fact it would have saved the House considerable trouble. Sir F. BURDETT assured the House that he bad no idea that this was the case. _ _ The SPEAKER said, the Hon. Baronet would do well, ano ther time, to see that a Petition was signed hefure he presented it. Mr. SAMUEL SMITH presented a Petition from the Frame Work Netters of the Town and Comity of Leicester, praying fur the Repeal of the Orders in Council, In as far as regarded Ame rica, and she against the Renewal of the East India Company's Charter. The Honourable Member assured the House that the present Petitioners had uniformly conducted themselves in the most orderly and becoming manner, and nuw came to the House praying that the final stab might not, by a war with America, be a ruin to their manufactures. The patient Petition was signed by 11,000 persons. Mr. BABBINGTON concurred in bearing te.timony to the temperate and orderly condect of the Manufacturers in Leiser tenhire, who cast their eyes only to that House for relief. '1 hey now trusted to the wisdom of that House to avert front therm, iii the words of their Petition, the greatest of all calamities, starva tion in a land of plea The Petition was brought up , and ordered to BO on the table. The Infaut Suitor's Bii was re - ad a third time, and passed. The Second reading of the St. Luke's and Foulness Railway Bill was postponed till this day six mouths. Mr. BLA ND gave notice, that he should on the stet April next, submit to the House a motion an the subject of Parlia mentary Reform. He also, in the absence of a Noble Friend of his, gave notice of a Motion, fur the same day, on the State of the Representation its Scotland ; and also on the part of awither Noble Friend of a Motion as to the Mode of taking the rolls at Elections. STATE OF THR COIN AND BANK-NOTES. Lord CASTLEREAGH said he held in his hand two Petitions, connected w•th the subject of a mo tion which his Right Honourable Friend (the Chan cellor of the Exchequer) meant to bring forward that day. A Bill had been passed last year for making the payment of Bank-notes a legal tender for rent in Great Britain. But that Bill did not extend to Ireland, and consequently great inconvenience had been felt there ; for many landlords would not take rent unless it was in cash : and many tenants sus tained a loss of '25 per cent. by paying in notes. The Petitions were from several persons residing in the North of Ireland ; and after stating these grievances, it prayed, that the Act passed in England last Ses sion, might be extended to Ireland. Mr. W. POLE conceived it would be a great grievance to the people of Ireland, it they were not allowed the same advantages as the pcope of Eng land.—The Petitions were then read, and ordtred to lie on the table. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved, that the Act of last Sessions be continued, with certain amendments and alterations. He could not conceive any opposition likely to be urged against continuing the Bill in this country ; and it it was ne cessary here, it must be so in Ireland. He should propose, that the Bill be read a second time before the holidays, and then deferred for some time, in order that the Members of bath Houses might have an opportunity of taking it into consideration. He meant to go further than the Bill of last Session ; for he should propose to protect all payments tf Bank Notes made into Courts of Justice—so that, in Such cases, they should be deemed a legal tender, which was not the case at present. He then noticed the de cision which Lord Lllenborough was obliged to give lately in an action of replevin, wherein a payment into Court in Bank-notes was declared not to be a legal payment. The Bill of last Session produced no inconvenience whatever. Only three actions had been brought, and was it not likely there would have been many more, had the Bill of last year been the op pressive measure it was described to be? There was, however, a disposition sufficieet to shew that some remedy was necessary for protecting individuals from oppression. He therefore, with this view of the sub ject. moved for leave to bring in a Bill for renewing the Act of last year relative to the payment of Bank notes for rent, and to extend that Act to Ireland. Lord FOLKESTONE expressed hie_ astonishment ,tat the flippant manner in which the Right Honour able Gentleman brought forward a measure which was nothing less than making Bank-notes a legal ten. der. Thete was no pretence for renewing the Bill of last year, because the price of gold was every day diminishing. But this diminution had not arisen from -the 13,11 of last year; for after that Bill had passed, he himself witnessed the greatest scarcity of coin. It was remarkable that only one conviction occurred under the Bill of last year, and that was in consequence of a man having been seduced into the commission of the offence. Lord CASTLEREAGH said, that so long as the Bank was restricted from issuing cash, it would be gross injustice riot to protect the subject in a manner to do away the effect of that restriction. The only object then of his Right Honourable Friend was to provide, that in Courts of Justice men should not be compelled to do any thing that were impossible. It vivas impossible for the subjects of the country to pay in guineas when guineas were withdrawn from circu lation ; and the only object now was to protect the subjects azainst wanton oppression. bfr.-T.M.R.NEY said, that the whole of this busi. nes: wed to be an attempt to undermine public credit. The fact was, that the Right honourable Gentleman knew he dared not meddle with the Bank. The Bank were the masters of the money concerns of the country ; and nothing could be done until the „Bank was c 211•41 before, and obliged to give an ac count pf its proceedings le i that House. It was ag. • • giag lees thaw direct fraud to compel men to take for money bits of paper. from a Company of whose solvency the Public had no know ledge_( Hap, &awl. This was a worse system than that of French assii. Rau. The Bank had the power of is-cuing p aper t , any amount; their profits might be extended to any amount ; and the Chancellor cl tlas Excheq uer was wholly in their power. Therefore, when the Bank • Directors told' the Chancellor of the Excheque r that their notes must be made a legal tender. he had a 'right to demand what their profits were, and he sno o p • lltOVe for a retaril of the same. This day the ch ar . cellor of the Exchequer was relying on his stcutue be , land taking upon himself a thing *hick ro Zsliinster would venture upon ; and if something walnut duau h . to interrupt the progress now pursuing, it must c . .. 01 in the total ruin of public credit. Lord CAST LE R EA GH explained. The CHANCELLOR. of the EXCHEQULIt denied that he had eves- manifested a dispositier : L , injure the credit of the country. As to his relyi :l on his stoutness, he was by no means indiffei cat his being left in a minority in that House; and would not urge a measure which was not likely to have th e majerity of the whole Public in its favour. And that man would be a hardy politician who would do any thing to shake the credit of the Bank, which must be the case if the doctrine of the Right lion. Gentl est:4u WAS. adopted. The amount of Ikank•notes in circula. tion was less at this moment than it had hitherto been ; there was actually a limit to the issue of themt but to fix a limit by law would be producAye ofgreat public i3convenience. The House then divided.—For the Motion, 73 I against it, BANK OF }NOLAND. Mr. TIERNEY moved for the appointment of a Secret Committer to inquire into the outstandin g mantis of the Bank of England, and the mows ni meeting them ; also to inquire into the elects of the Order in C 0111161.01 the 27th of February, 1797. . Mr. MANNING said, the whole amount of auk Notes, Bank-p st Bills, and Bank paper of aligns-rip. ,lions, was nu greater on this day than 022,50u,0utt r With this limited issue, compared to the issues of other years, he saw no necessity whatever for the motion of the Right Honourable Gentleman. also expressed his surprise that the Right Honourable Gentleman, who had filled an office of high trust in the Government, should think of undervaluing security of this paper. Mr. H. THORNTON conceived that a compli. ante with this motion would be nothing lac trim implying a suspicion that the Bank WAS not solvent. He denied the insinuation that the Bank was actuat ed by motives of.profit. They had a much mote importankcbject in view, namely, that of suppoitiag the mercantile credit of the country. Mr. JOHNSTONE believed that the Bank Di. rectors had conducted themselves with an citrate& nary degree of moderation in the issue of Papa.— What he complained of was, that the Minimr had too great an influence over the Bank, and that the Bank was identified with the Goverument. No masa could doubt the solvency oldie Baak, it Government discharged its .obligations to the Bank. He therefore • wished the proposed inquiry should take place. • Mr. MARRYATT said, in his opinion, the credit of the Bank, like the credit of Governmerd, smell be best supported by inquiry into its transactions.— • Every year that we went on incrcadng out paper circulation, we went on increasing our ditficuloes. Formerly, so unusual was the failure of a banking. , house in London, that on the failure of Fordyce sad • Co. that circumstance was placed amongst the me morable events of the yeah the great fire of Londe% the plague, &c. ; but since the Dank restrictious had existed, no less than eleven banking.houses in Loden had failed. These failures arose from the increase of paper currency, which had encouraged speculation. and led to many of our present difficulties; for tbei. reasons he should support the motion. • • I Mr. A. BARING saw no reason ihe Bank haat* shun inquiry ; but he would put it to the hons. 4 whether such inquiry would nut have the ettect fit spreading distru4 abroad. Mr. HER BERT opposed the motion.
