And your Committee cannot omit re marking, that thong!, tne circumstance,' which might occasion such art increased demand may recently have existed in greater Nice then at for nivr periods, yet in the twiner wars and conetilsions of the Continent, they must have existed in such • degne as to produce souse effect. Sir Francis Bating has very justly referred to the seven years' *a-, and the American war; mod reinorks, that no want of bullion w as then felt in this country. And, upon referring for • coarse of years to the tables which are published,for the use of the merchatita, each as Lloyd's Lists and Wettenhall's Course of ,Exchaug-, your Committee have found that from the middle of the year 1773, when the reformatiou r.f the g.. 1.1 coin took place. tall Strout the middle of the year 1799, two years after the suspension of the cash payments of the Ruth, the market-price of standard gold in bars remained steadily uniform at tne ore , : of 3!. 17..6.f. (being, with the small allosaio- for loss by detentiou at the Must, equal to the Mini price of 3:. 17a. Ins.) with the excep time of one year, from 17a3 to May 1753, when it was orcumnally 3% 18s. During the mine period, it is to be ursticed, the price of Portugal Gold coin was occasioirailly as high as 41. 1,. ; and your Cron ' sitter also observe, that it was stated to the Lords' gothoutteit 1707,15y-Me.Alorshain Newland, that the flank had been frequently obliged to buy g tld higher than the Mint price, sui upna one particular occasion gave as much, for a small quantity which their art* procured front Pnetugal, as 41.8.. But yule Committee and, that the price of standard g old in bars was never, for any length of time. ma terially above the Mint price, during the whole !w -eirs! of twenty-four year, which elapsed from the re formation of the gold coin to the inventors of the cash payments of the flank. The too most re markable periods prior to the present, when the market price of gold in this criuutry has exceeded our:Mint price, were in the reign of King William, when the silver coin was very notch worn below its standard; and in the early part of Ilia present Ma jesty's reign, when the gold coin was very much worn below its standard. In both these pericois,the excess of the 'woke' price price of gold shove is Mild price, was found to be owing to the had state of the currency; and in both instances, the reforma tion of the currency effectually lowered the market price of gold to the level of the Mint price. During the *bettor the years 1796 and 1797, in which there eras such a scarcity of gold. occasioned by the great denteds of the country banker*, in order to in crease their deposits, the market price of gold never rose above the Mint price. Your Committee have still further to remark noon this point, that the evideuce laid before them has leaf them to eatertain much doubt of the al leged fact. that a scarcity of gold builim has been recently experienced in this country. That guineas have disappeared from the circulation, there can he no question; but that does not prove • scarcity of buliion. any more than the high price proves that scarcity.* If gold is rendered dear by any other cause than scarcity. those who cannot purchase it without paying the high price will be very apt to conclude that it is scarce. A very extensive home dealer, who lass exam to , dmud who spoke very muds of the scarcity of gold, acknowledged that he found no difficulty in getting any quantity he wanted, if he was wilting to pay the price for it. And it ap pears to yoirr Cotnin:lt•le, that, though is the course of the last year there have beets large expor tations of stold an the Continent, there have been also very cosciderable importations of it into this country from SouthAmeric:•,chieflytlirouglethe%l'est lush es, The changes which have 'effected Spain and Portu gal, consinned with mar maritime and commercial ad vintage., would seem to have rendered this country • channel through which the produce of the mines of iiew Spain and the Brittle pees to the rest of the world. In such • eitostion„ the imports of bedtime and cons give us the opportunity of first au!). plyiog ourselves; arid must render this the last of the great markets, in which • scarcity of that at tide will Ire felt.

They cannot introduce this subject swore properly, Boma by adverting to thc.e tainrie paiumples and notations, on which a coinage issuing from the King's Mint is founded. The object is, to secure to the people a standard of a determinate value, by athisiug • stamp, seder the Rot at authority. to pieces of gold. which are ' thus certified to be sf • green weight mud tweasers. Gold in Bullion is the standard to which the Legis lature has intended that the coin should be con formed, and with which it should he idestilled as much as possible. And if that intention of the Legislature were completely fulfilled.. the reined gold would bear precisely the same price is ea change for all other coaimodties, as it *mild haws borne had it costumed in the shape of Minim but it is subject to some small fluctuations. First, there is some expense incurred in convert ing Bullion into coin.

This loss limy hitherto have smoeuted to about IL per cent. het it is to be presumed that the improvements of the system of the new Mist will cause the debrittioo at; I consequent loss to be much smaller. 'fins IL per cent. bus formed the limit, or nearly the limit, to the passible nee of the value of coin above that of Rollin° for to suppose that coin could, through any ranee. advance tom+ above tins bunk. would be to assume that there was a la gh profit on a transaction. in which there is no risk. and every one has au opportunity of engaging. The too following circmustances conjoined. vomit for the depression of the Coln below the pima of bullion, and wall sheer what must hsve been the limit to its extent before 1797. the period of the suspension of the cash payments of the Honk of England. First. the cons. after it had become current, was gradually diminished in weight by use, and therefore if melted would produce a less quantity of bullion.
