Lords were waiting without; and •therefore moved, That the Chairman should report progress, ane Ask leave to sit again. The House' reserned, and the Message was received, which announced their Lordship' coacurreoce veleta inve• wt -Yrnveee Bids ; after which it resoived itself into ties Cominittee. Mr. Meseees deeied that the evils said to have been caused by the publication of the Report, could Lilly be traced to that source. Mr. Pee - row et stated the fluctuations of the Exchanges, and compared them with the issues of the Bank from the year 1756 to the present thee. From the amount of tee latter and the state of the. former, cooteuded it was evident that the Back i!outo bad not the effect upon the excheege which hid birti sup posed ; as %rich reduced issues, the e echange had at verieu, times been reduced, aed when those issue were again lien eased the exchange had recovered. • Mr. 1 - 1.

He thought that a moderate limitation otpaper would enable them to pay in cash after the expiration of two years, and. for these reasons collectively, he should vote against the propositions of his Right Hon. Friend (Mr. Vansittart.) • -. Mr. CAN Nita said, the question was, whether in the present situaticn of the - country, and of the currency, it became the House of Commons to declare, for the tirsatime, principles which found no support in history or in the Constitution There were three of the Resoletions proposed by the Right Honour. able keentleman (Mr. Vansittart), to which he was desirtnis of calling the attention of the House inure particularly ; these were, the first, the third, and the fifteenth ; as to the others, he did not much care whether the,' were adopted. or modified, or rejected, for his objection eo them was not that they were Untrue, but that they were inapplicehle. The Right Honourable Gent. might with as much propriety` have introduced the state of the,weat her intolis logical positions, and perhaps with more logical precision, from its known Influence upon c A laugh.) Parrament could not take a more dangerous step than the making a gratuitous recognixion. of prerogatives not celled into question.. On the third Reesilution, which asserted that the Promissory Note was held to beequal to the current coin of the Ritalm, the Right Hon. Gino (MreCanning) observed, that this Was taking for granted a position contrary to fact, this being the very point upon which the public mind was at varl. ante. 'A man, he observed, after reading a .controversy upon any subject might say that one party was wrorg, ael anotilet right,bet it remained for the. Pirht Honourable Geieleinan alone to . s.ayaltere was no tlifsrence between them. - It reminded him of the lines of M.lton " Chaos tune ire sits,. . . -•- . And by decisiou more embroils ttie fray."
