NUMBER 106.1 PRICE SIXPENCE• .4DVERTISER. WEDNESDAY: MAY 4, 11403. TUESDAY, MAY 3. IMPERIAL PARLIAMEA7'. HOUSE OF LORDS. The Lord Advocate and Mr. Adam, were heatd for the Appellants, and' Mr. Erskine for the Respon dent, in the Appeal Col. Macpherson and Archibald Swinton e. Ramsay Hannay, Esq. after which the further hearing was adjourned to Thursday. The business on the Table was gone through. Six private Bills were brought up from the Com mons, and presented by Mr. Baldwin and others, 'and read a first time. tent as they confessedly were ; nay, even that most valuable and truly advantageous treaty, ne- Ttiated with the French Ministry—the famous reaty of Commerce, was not more eminently de serving of praise. IA ith regard to the dieereet rates of exchange, his Lordship assigned many and strong reasons to account for the variations and in crease. He said, when he came to look to the rice count of the comparative amount of the debt of Ire land, he himself could scarcely credit what he saw. In 1;97 the debt amounted to seven millions only; and in Jan. 1 803,the amount was forty millions. This increase, was, however, easily to be accounted for, when the causes of it were examined, and those causes had contributed also to the in crease of the rate of exchange. First, the rebellion, during its continuance, had put a check upon their export trade ; and it had a considerable died upon their import trade ; because, while the rebellion continued, they knew notwhat to risk, whom ' to look up to with confidence, nor how they were to be assured of a 1 ettirn for what they continued to import. Their flesh exportation was stopped, and the export of corn, which they had been accustomed to carry on to the amoun tof 500,0001. a-year, incon sequence of the general dearth, the sad effeds of which, were felt in Ireland, as well as in England, was put an end to altogether; and the island was obliged to supply itself from other countries, and thus to send their gold out of the country to pur chase it ; which, of course, contributed to raise the price of the exchange. Another material cause of the rise of the rate of exchange was, that a great part of the debt of Ireland, which had increased to 40,000,0001. was borrowed in England, and the in terest of the sum borrowed in England, amounted to above 900,0001. which was obliged to be sent over be gold. An additional cause of the increase of the rate of exchange, was what the Noble Lord had been pleased to call the depreciation of the notes of the Bank of Ireland ; certainly to a certain extent he must admit it, but the reasons for it were easy to be explained. The notes of the Bank of Ireland would not pass out of the country ; and therefore when :s man in Dublin, who was going to sail for England. and had to receive a payment, he must have it in. guineas, because guineas would go and he received. in England or Scotland; but notes of the Bank of Ireland would not. Besides, in the North of Ire land an inveterate humour prevailed against the. taking any sort of payment but in specie. All these matters conduced to raise the rate of exchange; and. two other circumstances greatly contributed towards it : the Government of this country, no doubt, fot reasons which they thought would promote the pub. lic interest, thought proper to interdict the importa• tion of provisions from Ireland, and the proprietors of coal, of which Ireland, though she certainly had coal in the isle, was in the constant habit of a great annual importation from the North of England, had raised the price of that article. He wished he could have seen the Noble Lord, the great coal exporter, (Lord Lowther) in his place, as he might perhaps have been able to give the House some reason for the great increase of price; that article being paid for in gold, consequently tended to in cr e ase the rate of exchange; and a still further additional cause of the increased rate of exchange was a wound that the manufacturers of Ireland had themselves given that Island : the linen manufadure, which had enriched the North, and was the favourite and greatest export of Ireland, had, whether from motives of avarice or cupidity, he could not undertake to pronounce, was considerably raised in its price, which had produced. an injurious etica, as the Americans, who had for merly been great importers of Irish linens, had left off purchasing them on account of their dear ness, and had shut their market upon the Irish manufaCturers, thinking it better worth their while from its comparative cheapness, to sup- ply themselves with linen of every sort from Ger many and Russia, where they bought the article cheaper. Something he had heard his Lordship bad said of the adultery of the Bank of Ireland, as evinced by the conduct l of its Directors ; and it had also been, said, that by the At of Union Great Britain had wedded Ireland ; Great Britain had, therefore, if as common saying in Ireland was to be taken in the same acceptation in which it passed there, married a wealthy wife ; for, from what he had.stated, it was evident that Ireland was rich in debt, and if the mar riage had not taken place, Ireland would in due course of time have been still richer, for he had no doubt, but that if the important event of the Union had not taken place, the debt of Ireland would have been brought to equal the debt of Great Britain, and the countries might thou have gone pari paw in taxation, revenue, &c. & c . But thank God, Ireland had now better prospects, and he trusted that by the assistance of British in dustry, British manufaeture, and British capital, Ireland would grow really rich, and make Great- Britain so, by contributing to diminish its national debt. With regard to the imputed adultery of the Irish Bank by their multiplied issue of notes, he understood it was necessary in all marriages that the consent of one of the parties must at least be ob tained ; and he remembered to have heard, that an. Irishman told a friend, that he had determined ve marry a particular lady, and that he had obtained his own consent, but it turned out afterwards that he never obtained the lady's, and consequently never married her. His Lordship applied this anecdote to his subject, and said, that such was the effeLl of the Union, that he could declare, on the authority of a person of high authority, a Right Hon. Friend of his, (Isaac Corry, Esq.) at the head of the finance of Ireland, that her debt was already reduced, and would in a few years, in all probability, be con siderably reduced. His Lordship added and in terspersed many other cogent arguments to prove that the Bill ought to pass, as it was of great impor tance to the interests of the Bank of Ireland, and consequently to the general interests of the British empire. Lord AUCKLAND rose to say a very fed' words. He rejoiced that the discussion had taken place, as he was persuaded it would have a good ef feet upon the public mind ; he therefore desired to IRIS!: RANK RESTRICTION BILL. The Order of the Day for the second reading of his Bill bcirg moved and read, Lord KING rose, and discussed the subjea of the Bill at considerable length. It turned, however, .so much upon figures and calculation, that it would he no easy matter to follow his .Lordship; suffice it that we state, that among ...he main objeas on which he dwelt, the increased issue of the Bank of Ireland notes, since the year 1797, the rise in the prices of exchange between Lngland and Ireland, and the depreciation of the Irish Bank Paper were the prin cipal. His Lordship imputed abuse of the discre tionary powers with which they were vested w the Dire tors ; and when speaking of their dividends said, he had almost said their divisions of the plun der of the public, which by their misconduct they had got into their hands. He detailed the different rates of exchange distinguishing the price of ex change each year, from the year 1797, to the pre sent day, and assigned a great variety of probable causes to account for the increase that had lately arisen. In order to check the multiplication of notes, issued by the Bank of Ireland, he said, he meant in the Committee to move the insertion of a clause, obliging the Bank of Ireland, after six months from the passing of the Bill, to pay all their notes when presented for payment, in English Bank notes, and thus the payments in England and Ire land would he put on one and the same footing. His Lordship dwelt on these topics at great length and with considerable ability. The Earl of LIMERICK, in a copious and mas terly speech, answer:al the argument of the Noble Lord who had just sat down. He began with re turning )cis thanks to the Noble Lord for the having called the attention of the House to the Bill under consideration, and complimented him on the great obligence he had manifested in investigating the sub it a, and on endeavouring to make himself master of it ; but he could by no means agree with the Noble Lord in the general scope of his arguments, although on some points he was ready to admit that the Noble Lord was correctly right, but from these pre mises he must be allowed very different inferences from those deduced by his Lordship. On, a former dal, he had heard from the Noble Lord an imputa tion thrown out against the Dire6tors of the Bank of Ireland of having been at fault, and even that they had abused the trust vested in their discretion. That imputation had been repeated in the speech the Noble Lord had just delivered, but he could not only assert, but prove beyond all question that the con du& of the Directors of the Bank of Ireland had been uniformly wise, prudent, and exemplary, and I most of the charges brought against them by the Noble Lord, when properly explained and rightly understood, would be found to be so many proofs of their active, cautious, and judicious conduct. The Noble Lord had commenced his account of the issue of notes of the Bank of Ireland from the Bank of Ireland, and put into circulation, as well as the rate of exchange from the year 1797, of which the Noble Earl had stated to be the first year of which he could procure a correct account. He happened, Lord Limerick said, to have in his hand an account a year earliev. viz. the year 1796 ; in that year a most unnatural rebellion was forming, and at the head of it were some men of considerable rank and talents. Their plan was to distress the Govern ment, and embarrass it by forcing a run upon the Bank of Ireland, through the medium e:' a run upon the private .Banks of Ireland, who must ne cessarily produce the first object as an inevitable consequence. The Directors of the Bank of Ireland became apprized of this, and they felt it to he their duty to be provided against the meditated mis chief; they, therefore, issued an adequate number of notes to meet the exigency, wilich no man who knew the cause, would consider in any other light than as a measure founded in pro vident caution, sound judgment, and true po licy. Let the situation of political affairs, at the time, in respea to Ireland, also be taken into the account. A French fleet of force was riding at anchor for a considerable time, in one of the bays in the Western extremity of Ireland at tha time.; and as the people of that Isle always looked upon England, and its fleets and armies, for protection, they were on that occasion disappointed ; the British fleet being by adverse winds and storms locked up in their own harbours. This incident unavoidably produced consequences which pressed on the Bank of Ireland ; but they bore up against it, and firmly sus tained the shock it occasioned. The Bank of Ireland had also to encounter the pressure of other public events, that agitated the country and depressed the credit of Ireland ; a raging rebellion had commen ced, and the Isle was invaded by the enemy, who pe netrated far into the interior of the country, and spread waste and desolation wherever they came. Yet, notwithstanding theseadverse circumstances, the • Bank of Ireland, by the wise and exemplary condua of the Directors, was enabled to maintain its cre dit, and administer, in an eminent degree, to the accommodation and convenience of the merchants, and by that means to preserve the country. His Lordship took occasion, while bestowing due praise on the Directors of the Bank of Ireland, to pass a very high eulogium on Lord Auckland, de claring that his having instituted the Bank of Ire land, in 1782, was a most essential service both to Ireland and England, and better entitled to the gratitude of the whole nation, than all that Noble Lord's various services, great and impor- VICTUALLING OFFICE, 11tH Aram, 1801.
