PAPER AGAINST GOLD: usixe. AI txmrivATlON OP THE REPORT Cl' T!1I RUT.- Lt ( IN LommirrEC; IV A •Elties OF LETTERS TO THE TRADOMEN AND FARMERS IN AND NEAR SALISUCIIY. LETTER. X I.X• [Concluded feo.s our Paper of V, sterd.r.9l. But, when the Third Act came to be passed, in November,. 1797, a little more preparation was necessary ; and it was also necessary to find out new reasons, a quite new doctrine, in justiti. cation of it ; or, to acknowledge, at once, that the Bank nas unable to pay. The refusal to pay their antes in cash had now listed for nine months; the alarm of invasion was over ; and, it appeared difficult to conceive any reason whatever for the continuation of the Stoppage, or Restric tion Act, other _than that of the inability of the Bank Company to pay their 'notes in money. Other reasons were, however, found out ; but, by way of preparation another S EcttEr COM %UTILE was now appointed' in the House of Commons, which Committee were, as we shall see, the vehicle through which the new doctrines first made their way into that House. This Committee, by the hands of 'Mu. caAtmts BIRAGGE (now Biaggi: Bathurst, and Member for Bristol), made their Report to the Hot* on the 17th of Novembero 1797 ; and, I will venture to say, that a more curious doCnment never was pro. laced in the world. Every syllable of it is worthy of your attention ; and I beg of you to go careful ly through it -before you proceed any further. The Report was, in part, grounded upon a Copy of a Resolutiv of the Bank Directors, and Which had been lased some time before, and which was laid before this Committee of Secrecy. I shall in. sort this Resolution first; and I must again be seech you to read every word of both documents with attention ; for, you may be well assured, that the whole world never saw such docunients'beforell% * Copy of a Resolution of the Court of Directors of the Bank. At a Court of Directors, at the Broils, on Thursday, the liith Oct. 1797. Resolved.—That it is the opinion a this Court, That the Goveruir and Company of the Bank of England are etiaWed b. issue specie, in any manner that may he deemed necessary for the accommodation of the public ; and the Ciotti have no lie-itation to declare, that the affairs of the Bank are in such a state, that it eau With safety resume its accustomed functions, it' the political riirunistances of the country do not render it iiierpe. , lent : hot the Directors dee •ig it foreign to their pro vince to juke of these points, wish to submit to the wisdom of Parliament, whether, as it has heen ONCE JUDGE I) PROPER TO LA A RESTRICTION nu the payments of the Bonk in cash, it may, or may eut r be..prudent to con tinne the Mille. (711,cieellor Pitt said,. Om it was his intention first to more ttt:u the Report of the Secret Committee be printed, in enter that all the Members aright have the itatisfactiog of in forming themselves, hi detail, of statements to very pleasing and. important : but as it would take some time to have it pi inicd, he ousted that those 4 entlemen who laid now heard ti'e Report res a t would think with him than, after the fall ea :nab:anon the subject had undergone in theCointaitteet after the clear and decided opinion that Committee had pro ihmtieed upon it : and after the distinct statement, not only of them bid of the Bunk Directors; it would be unnecessary to detain the business merely on account .of the printing; and that it would be proper to proceed without delay,. to the ob ject of that Report ; and name for leave to bring Ina Bill for teat purpose. He avowed that the measure he meant now to propose was not contined to the strict terms ofthe former Bill: hut would move on tiie principle that, as the count, y was pecu• liarly circumstanced, it woulu he advisable to continue the re striction as long as the present contest continited, or at least as long aa that contest coni Owed itt the shape and with the aspect it now-bore, reserving, however, to Parliament the right to re scind themeasure,andto limit, to qualify, or totally to annul the restrietiom, as Future cireifoataeres might induce them io their - wisdom to think necessary. The House would readily conclude that it must always be his wish, as it mist be their own, to restore the issue of inottej froth the Bank to its forAer situation ; but they would also consider that their continuing the festrietion could not reasonably. produce tke least alarm Or ' apprehension, since they had now iadisputable evidence before them that; so far from the gloimiy preMetions of Ntotlt gentle men who said that neither the Batik nor the national credit could survive the measure, being verified, both had rapidly tri sen to the high •coaditioa of prosperity -which Nut just been stated—and thnt not woe of those ineonvenienees which had been so confidently predicted to result frum the • resfeictiun, had even yet arisen to justify the appreheusions of those who at I first so violently oppobed that measure. He therefore would mimic - Stir leave ;w continue the restriction ; hot before he did so he must premise that some of the provisions woad require amendment. The flouse would see how low the advances to Government had been reduced---but they would hardly feel that the custoulary advances by the Bank upon the land and malt duties ought to be prohibited ; yet as the law now stood they would ; it therefuteweuld be necessary to open the Bill in that respect. He then moved; That leave be given to bring is a Bill to continue the pritvisioes in the former Bill, for re-. straining easbpayments at the Batik, and to amend and conti nue the other provisions tattle same—which was granted nem. con. The Committee of Secrecy, appointed to enquire whether it may be expedient further to clintinue Me Restriction, contained in two Actvourale in the lost Se.ssiutt of Parliairtant, respecting payments in Cash by the Bank; have enquired ucoordiagly, and agreed spun the following Report, viz. Your (:ommiltee have, in the first place, examined the to- . lel amount of outstanding stein inds on the Bonk of England, 'and of the funds for discharziag the same ;mud find, front the examination of the Governor and Deputy Governor of the Bank, 'and the dectsments produced by them, / that, the total ainount of outstanding demands on the Bank. was. on the Iltla • day of this inst.

Year Committee next proceciled to examine, the principal articles of which theabove-inentioned sum of "31,419,4604 kb-. in. the credit side of the nceount, is mode up, with :t view of ' ascertaining how far the Bank might be enabled to restime its accustomedpayments iu cash, in case the rimtricticia at present subsisting should be removed and your Committee and, that the tidvatices to Government have, on the one hand, been so much 'reduced, since thrlatli of February last, as to amount, on the sail 11th day of this . instant, November, to nn more than the twin of 4,258,1401. while,wn the other hand, the cash and ; !Anon in the Bank have increased man ailment more than live times the'slue of that at w rich they stood on the same .25th of Fehntary last, and touch above that at which they stood at any time since the'begismitig of Septendier, Fi9.3.

Your Ciiininh tee next proceeded to examine the Governor and Deputy Governor of the Rank, as to their opinion of the inconvenience which may have arisen from the restriction aiflnited un the Bank front making pay ment in cash, and sit 'the expi;•ilicticy of contiiiniag suet' re strittibn your Ca minito:eau& that they are not aware of any suelblueouvroiester, end that they are supported is that.idea, by . lumwing,that • the bankers and traders of Condom who had a 'light by the Act of 'Parliament. to demand *Tee fourths of tiny lowish its cash Which they had made in the Bank, of 5001. ! orapwards, have only donned zeiont one-sixteei.th; nod your Committee find, that the Court of Directiirs of the Bank did, line the:Will erf • Oestitier, 1Z97, aunt tali reiohit too, et ropy of v which is sbbj4 irl d'tte tone Iteport.

Ile said that he Would, however, .move for the printing of the Report, " in melee that all the Members might have the eetisfaction of informing thernselves, in de tail, oistatements so very pleasing:and important . ; those gentlemen, he said, who had now heard the report read would think with him that, after the Hfoll examination the subject had undergone iii the 1 Committee; after the clear and decided opinion that the Committee had pronounced upon it , and arter the distinct stateehent not only of them, but of the Bank Directors ; it Would be unnecessary to detain the business ,nerdy on aceount of the printing; and that it would be proper to proceed without de lay to the object of that Report ; and move for leave to bring in a bill for that purpose," Ile fur. ther said, that it was necessary to continue; the re 7 I striction during the war to defeat the object of the • enemy, which was to destroy our credit ; that the further continuation of the restriction could nut reasonably produce any alarm or apprehension, since they had now indisputable •evidence before them, that, so far front the gloomy predictions of the opponents of the measure having been verified, the national credit had rapidly risen to• the high condition of prosperity which .had just beenexhi bited. At the end of this harangue, he moved lot leave to bring in a bill for continuing the Stoppage of cash.paymeuts at-the Bank, till a month after the conclusion of a definitive treaty of peace; which, by the Representatives of " the most thinking yeti. plc in the world," was agreed to without a single dissenting voice! When, however, the subject came to be disiussed again on the 22d of November, the thing was not suffered to pass off in silence. Mr. lloauoirse ob served upon the new doctrine, which was now brought forward in defence of the measure : " lie reminded the Utilise, that he had said on a former occasion that this would be the case; and now the Minister was making good his predictions, alleging as a reason for so doing, that the nature of the con. test in which we are engaged &minded it, though this was no part of the grounds for the! former re striction, and though, in comparing the war now with its nature at that time, it did not appear there was any material difference. Why the nature of 1 the war, then, made a restriction of six months only necessary, and its nature now made a restric. tion during the contest necessary, he could not dis cover; to him it appeared absurd and irreconcile. I able to common sense and sound policy." What answer was given to this by the Minister ? What answer could he give? He had, in fact, nothing to say. He repeated all the former assertions about the riches of the Bank, though those assertions evidently made against him ;, and, as to the main argument, what did he do, but rely lolely upon the opinion of the Secret Committee, a Committee • who had, in fact, been chosen by his own adhe rents. He said "As to the plan of continuing the restriction for the whole term of the war, the woos for it being stated distinctly in 'the Report of the Committee, it was unnecessary for him to say a word more-on the subject; it would be found there distinctly set out, that the Bank was in a Istate which in ordinary times would. enable it to re some its cash-payments and operations on the ac -1 custotned scale. But that the avowal of the enemy to attack es through our finances, and to ruin our public credit, was the motive (he presumed a suffi ciently cogent motive) to make an additional term of restriction; and when it was remembered that no 'injury, nor even inconvenience, had been sustained by the restriction hitherto, the House could not but think it a sufficient eucouragument to adopt . that now called fur." • /114 t subsequent stage of the Bill, the next day, he said, " We were con. tending with an enemy whose object was to attack the'credit of the country, and - to embarrais its &nen. cial operations. It was necessary to meet these at. tacks in a manner that would defeat the object of the enemy. The House should take every measure to ward off the danger, and the present was, in his opinion, the best that -could possibly he adopt. • .ed." Mr. Hussey having pressed him closely upon' this point, he farther said, that„," It was neces sary to huhi out to the enemy, that .the country wus prepared to meet all its efforts of desperation ; ' hest it did nut follow that the restriction wonhl be cuotiuucd during the whole of the war. While, however, it was pnrswed in its present shape, he certainly considered the.restrictlon ay alssolutely ne cessary." These miserable reasons ; these most pitiful pre. tences, Mr.. THAlicy exposed, in his speech of l i the 2c.S) of November, in a manner so complete . , that erre is - shocked at the thougbt oUthe 'House afterwards suffering the measure to proceed ; one 'cannot help wondering, that the Minister was able to sit-and hoar him ; and, it is impossible to feel ,any compassion for the people, who still supported end extolled him„ and who richly merit all that could, or can, befall them from that cause, they having supported him with their eyes open, and against the clearly and -. loudly expressed dictates of reason and of truth. Mr. TIERNEY said : 44 That the enemy would aim a blow at our credit and finances, all would agree, for altanodere wars have been without exception carried on upon that pit. Modern warsare suede open resources rather ,than blond ; but was this the way to prevent the enemy from succeeding ?—most whimsical expetli- W-e-lit order - to leave to-the enemy no credit to from this country to Ireland ; and that from those .circum .stanetw so explained, and from the nature of the war, and the avowed purpose of the enemy to attaca this citioury by in: nos of , its pualic credit, and tolastress it in its hitancial operations, .they are led to think that it will he expedient, to continue the restriction now subsisting, with the reserve for issues of cash,. nt the discretion of the of the nature of that eon. *gilled in the present acts ; mind that •it may be so contiptied without injosy to the credit of the Runk, with an advantage to the nation.—Your Committee,_ therefore, having taken into consideration the p,l'eneral situation oftlie country, are of opi nion, that notwithstanding the atfairs of the 1141116, both it tt h reverie° the gcnerid balance of its accounts, rind its capacity of Making paymeuts it: specie, are in such at state that it might wititsofety resume itsticenstomedfulictions, UNUER A DIF FERENT STATE OF PUBLIC ,APFA4/IS; yet, that at will he expedient to continue the restriction' now suasisting ins wuch payments, for such time, and wider such limitations, as to the ti igluto of Yau liatneat may scent ' -- .1 attack, they destroy credit themselves. K it last . they speak plainly, at l as t i t comes o t h at u t kt , t will distress the financial oper a ti ons o f the count,: and then they deliberately weigh and fi n d t h 4 ii i ; expedient t w h i e li re b 's e ervetsf partial to i continue Use restriction, ui~h casli at the discrrtioo of the Batik, and that it may be su condo.' cd with advantage to the nation, and without injury t o the credit of the Bank. This was the result of the examination of the Governor and Deputy G 3teen : .of the -Bank of England. This was their . This precious plan, which -first originated in diabolical, but fertile mind of th at monster Robe's: spierrc." Mr. TIERNEY, in this speech, which was oil e d the best made upon the occasion, : and to which j,l s • tiot pretend to do full justice, then shewed hone:el, it was, that the Bank Company and the Minister wen hand in lt:ynd through the whole of the transaction. .that their- operations were i n t en d e d to scret•n un; another; that the Bank Company called upon the Minister for protection ; and the Minister made that pretext for his propositi o n s t o P ar li ament. Hi 0 11 1 1 ) 1 :m:cc% that the 'principal reason for continuing t o protect the Bank from paying their notes, rain s from the Bank: Directors- thems e lv es , who, e ven b e. fore the meeting of Porliament e had come to a reso. lotion, that they were able to pay if the political L i r . cumstances of the country did not render it inespe. client, but that the stoppage of payments itt cad t having been once judged proper, they submitted to the wisdom of Parliament, whether it would tint l 4 proper to continue the same. " Tits," said N R . TIERNEY; g 6 the Measure of non.pnynacut origincti with the persons bound to pay ;" and who, bon the language of the Act, the world would believe were restrained against their will from paying. From the Report of tire Secret Committee, you wilt have perceived, that the ilan'k Company, this Company of Traders, were die chief source of the Committee's information ; for the Committee say, that, leaving asked them what they meant by those 46 po:itical circumstances of the country," men. tioned in their Resolution, the Bank people told then that they allittled to the war in which the country was engaged f Upon this' ;. aye upon this ground, suggested by the Bank Company them. selves, did the Committee rep.rrt, that it ►conid nma be safe for that Company t 6 pay its' notes dining r the 'war ; and upon the same ground did the lives of Commons come to a like determination. Gentlemen, were not these facts fresh V in ourat. mories ; were they not capable of proof by liri►/ witnesses; nay, were they not proved by the a. istence •of the Act of Parliament, of which wean speaking, would they, could they be believed?— Could they be believed to have taken place in ant nation unit earth ; and especially amongst a pea. pie, .calling themselves ►c the most thinking mph: in the world 1" Thus have we traced down this Act of Stoppage, or Restriction, as it is ea/led, to the end of the last war. We have seen that its continuation was at last justified upon the ground of its.heing dangerous for the Bank to return to money-payments DURING► TILE WAR. And now we have to see what reasons were given fur continuing the re. striction, or refusal to pay, AFTER THE WAR WAS OVER. But, this, by no means the least interesting part of the subject, must be reserved for another Letter. In the mean while, I remain, Gentlemen, Your faithful friend, WM. COBliiiTT.

This was an action on a policy of insurance °NI ship from London to the South Seas, on a contra. band trading voyage with the Spaniards. After the vessel,got-round Cape Horn, the Captain lest several of his men, whei deserted, lard apprised the Spaniards of the. Captain's intention to trade. In consequence of this infortnation the Spanish (dicers waited fur the ship's boat, whieli - bad been sent eu shore to correspond with some Spanish and seized thiewhole of the crew. The ship thus deprived of hands, was obliged to sail to Port Jack. son, w licre the captain procured assistance, and dis posed of part of his ,cargo. lie then returned to the Spanish Ma but kvai unfirtunately raptur ed on the coast of Chili, by a giiarda costa, and carried into Lima. The Underwriters- defended the action, on ike ground that the ship had gone out of the South . Seas, and it became a quiestion of law how fa; the policy allowed her to of .; also, whether the rivet was to sail within the limits in which the trade d • .the Swath Sea Company was carried on, or whether she was allowed the geographical extent of alit South Etas. • A verdict was given for the Plaintiff, subject to the opinion of the Judges. , antra.
