Ministers that such a promised should not conic from theist without first establishing the most minute, the fullest, and the most satisfactory investigation. On the first night that Parliament met, the Right Hun.

The Right Ilonourahle Gentle man !night taunt them tor the imputed unstea diness of their measures; hut how would he taunt them if they had come down to the House, keeping hack the information they received, to ask for a further restriction without inquiry, as was their original intention—to ask for it as a tempo rary expedient, whilst they were convinced that they should look for a further renewal of the law ?

For his own part l ie wou ld say, that in hits judge - amid a Committee formed that did not comprels-tuf Gentlemen impartially selected from each aide of the House, would be of little value indeed.

FEBRUARY 3, 1819. List evening, in the House of Lords, the Earl of Ltvearont.'s motion for the appointment of a Se cret Committee to inquire tido the affairs of the Bank, and other matters connected with the Cur rency of the Country, was carried without opposi tion, almost without comment. The Committee will consist of thirteen Lords. In the House of Commons a highly animated and important debate arose on Mr. TI ERN ET's promised motion on the same subject. The motion was for a Committee to inquire into the effects produced on the exchanges with foreign countries and the circulating med . by the restriction 011 Payments in Cash by the Bank; and to report whether any and what reasons exipt for continuing the same beyond the period now fixed by law for its ter tttttt ation. I o ►his the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER proposed an amendment for a Com-nittee of Secre•y on the state of the Bank of England, with refer. roc, to the expediency of the resumption of Cash Payments at the period fixed by law, and into such other matters as are connected therewith. On a division the numbers were, Hitt In support of the otiginal motion; 377 against it—majority 109 in favour of Ministers. The Amendment was then carried without a division, and it was agreed that ti.e Committee should he • Committee of Secresy, to be appointed by ballot. The Paris Papers of the 30th last have arrived. The annual Report of the Bank of France, made by M. LAVITTE. the Provisional Governor, in the moue of the Council-General of the Rank, is published in a Supplement to the hinuiteur.— Thin document, which is of considerable length, after detailing the operations of the Batik in the t,vo half years of 1818, proceeds to justify the Bank for its refusal to d►scount Bills of longer date than 45 days, upon the pound that it was only a tem porary measure adopted from necessity, and shut it shortly after resumed its discounts at 60. and since at 90 days, and that although this was done in a moment of danger, to save the credit of the Bank. the Council• General has never refused ally support required from it, either for commerce or the Royal 't'reasury--as evidence of which, the amount of bills presented fur discount never at any time equalled the means prepared to meet them—from . the 15th Pctober to the 6th November the sums discounted were forty millions, and more lately, in a single week, sixty millions. This was the only charge brought against the Bank, and the Council. General relied upon this stitemriit as their justifies. tion.
