SPECIE. - • Mr. HUSKISSON, before making the motion of which he had given notice, relative to the issue of Specie from the Bank of England, wished to enter into some explanation of the evidence which he had recently given in the Committee of that• House, upon the subject, and which evidence had been much mis represented. it was of importance that it should be , .:understoodo that at the period to which that evidence referred, the Bank of England had ample means of turn4hing his Majesty's Government with specie, had ;his Majesty's Government exercised the right with. which they were vested for that purpose ; in the exer cise of which tight, however, they had proceeded upon a prineiple,,,Of extreme moderation. Had the question of cash payments at the Bank of England been considered merdi as a banking question uncon.' meted with the political state of Europe, he had no' difficulty in .saying, the Bank of England was in a.l condition to meet with perfect safety any termination of the restriction upon payments in specie that might have been directed. `J hat was the state of the Bank at the period to which he had alluded ; and since that period his Majesty's Goverment had not by any act of theirs withdrawn from the Bank the means they had then in their possession. He had the greater sa tisfaction in calling the attention of the House to this statement, because whether the statement was conj. dered with reference either to the ability of the Bank to make their payments in specie on the one hand, or to the moderation of his Majesty's Government, in their demands upon the Bank on the other, it was very desirable that no mistake should take place, but that the providence of the Bank of England to pro vide the necessary means in the one case, and the for bearance of his Majesty's Government to trench upon those means in the other, should be clearly under stood and duly estimated. A great deal had been said about the .silver currency. Now it was well known that silver did not form any part of the stan ding currency of the realm. Indeed, it was declared by law, that no payment for a sum exceeding £25 could be made in silver, unless it was tendered by weight at the standard price. His Majesty's Co. vernment had purchased silver, therefore, only as they would other merchandize, and he had no doubt but more might have been procured. To prove his assertions with respect to the satisfactory state of toe Bank of England in these respects, he should move, 66 That there be laid before the House an account of all issues of the coin of the realm from the Bank of England since the Ist of May, 1793, under any Cr ders in Council made for that purpose, specifying the date of each order, and the amount thereon." It could scarcely be necessary for him to add, that with out an Order in Council no such issue could be made. —The motion was agreed to. NEW TIrEATRE. Sir •JA MES SHA %V - presented a petition relative to the intended new Theatre ; but owing to the Man dible manner in which the petition was read by the Clerk, we ''were wholly unable to collect the names and desciiption of the parties petitioning, or the ten . - dei)cy bf the petition itself.—lt was ordered to lie on the tabl;. - SCHELDT EXPEDITION.
