ALIEN ACT. Lord HOLLAND, understanding that it was the intention of the confidential advisers of the Crown to propose the renewal of the Alien Act, he heg,fzed leave to ask the Noble Lord opposite, whether there existed any treaty whereby this country was pledged to assimilate the laws to those of other countries in respect of Aliens, and whether it was intended to introduce in Great Britain the same vexatious police as existed in many nations of the Continent ? The Earl of LIVERPOOL had no difficulty in an- swering the Noble Lord's question. It certainly was the intention of Government to propose the continuance of the Alien Act, being thoroughly convinced that it was of the highest importanc e to the best interests of the country; but he should distinctly deny that this country was iii any respect pledged to any foreign Government upon this point. Lord Flo LLAND-...." Don the Noble Lord mean to say that there have been Ito communications Upon this subject between this and any foreign Go vernment 1" The Earl of LIVERPOOL--" I mean to say that this country has neither directly nor indirectly enter ed Into any entrarremsot...i....---- ___,„-,,...eusiownatever upon tiny subject; and that in proposing a renewal of this Act, the Executive Government are influenced solely by considerations of what is due to the safety of this country, and which will, I trust, be also felt by Pd rliument."—/ Bear.) CURRENCY OF THE COUNTRY. The Earl of LAUDERDALE rose, in pursuance of his notice, to call their Lordships most earliest attention to the state of the currency of the coos.- try, and to the possibility of the Bank of England returning, under the present system, to cash pay ments. He frit that there were among their Lord ships many who, possibly, had never turned their thoughts seriously to this subject, and who, on that account, believed it to be so involved in mystery, that no conclusion could be drawls on it with certainty. H e hoped, however, he should be enabled to prove to their Lordships, that there was no subject more capable of certainty than the speculations respecting the currency of the Conn. try. He felt, indeed, an extrem e difficulty in ex plaining the matter, without entering into very mi nute details, while he was, on the other hand, no less alive to that of requiring their attention to a subject of so dry a nature. He bad once received a piece of advice front the father of a Noble Friend of his, then present, that on subjects of this kind he should abstain as much as possible from figures; to this advice of his deceased and valued friend, he should as much as possible conform; and he felt the less unwilling to do so on the present no. erasion, from a belief that he would be followed in the debate by a Noble Friend, who would campenaate for any of his omissions. His intention was then to state his opinions respecting the present paper cur ea -Hey—to shew the necessity of an inquiry into the causes why the gold had disappeared train circula tion —to shew that the prophecies respectin g this event had been fulfilled—and, finally, that even if the Burk of England had reduced the currency of the country to the lowest possible point, still it would be impossible for the country to leave a me tallic currency while the present Mint regulations were suffered to exist. Ile was fortified in his opi nions respectin g the impossibility of the resumption of cash payments by the Bank of Eiigland, by the conduct of the Noble Earl opposite and his collesgues, in proposing a further continuanc e or the Bank restriction, and a total alteration in the system of country banks. These were atriums pro positions, which it would be impossible for their Lordships to pass without inquiry. —(Hear./ With revect to the cont i nuance of the Bank re stnetioh, he considered the reasoiss now assigned tor it wholly unfounded. It was asserted that there existed uo revolt in the Microsl sta!': of islfiirs !air continoliaig the sueesur e ; but lie should be able to shew that the Batik itself wits at this mument less capable of returning to cash inquired* than ever, amid this cuuld be traced solely to the original devts. Sots from the old wholesome Aide of the curtency. He should also *hew that were the Bank of Fug. land ever SO .inur e in their profeslions, eVer so) d l ll4Ollll of resuming their cash pea-mews, and had adopted those Step, that *ere conimorily considered necessary to imam that object, still ,t would be impossible for it to succeed while it was opposed by the Mint regulatioits. He did not propose this on any other principle to their Lordships for athiption. All he desired was, that their Lordships should in. quire into the propriety of them ; lie merely stated them us double, to slew the tietessity of invest'. groion, 011 a subject VII which the Sovereigns of this country had uniformly required the opinion and advice of both Douses of Parliament. The Noble Erni then adverted to the reasons advanced for contimiiiig the restriction, and observed, that he was never more surprised 111:111 to hear it attri buted to external causes solely. Let the House thank to what a S t ate this country seas redeye'', if it were rendered depeodant upon the operations of Foreign Powers. Could it be admitted that this great commercial country, exulting in its freedom, and boasting to govern is allisirs solely by its So. vereign and its parliament, should be compelled to regulate its most important concerns with reference to the proeeeding s of Foreign Powers ? Should it he permitted that if the Emperor of Austria, the King of Prussia, or the French Legislative Assem blies, with the Kitig at th e i r h ea d , thought proper to negociate a lean, the entire system of our in. lethal affairs should be deranged inconformity with their pleasure? such a doctrine were odmitted, there was am end at once to the power of the British Parliatnent and the independence of the country.__ (Hear, hear, hear.)—Fle believed, however, that there was no foundation for the opinion, that the negociation of a loan by a Foreign Power mold exercise any influence upon the subject. But whatever may he the real state of that question, lie in the first instance denied the fact, that such a circurnstaiir e had ever exercised such an influence. ~eh, hail hews said of the Austrian loan; but min effect could arise from a cause that had never extend ; and it appeared in evidence before their ( 7 oininittee, from the ageut who had comforted the negotiations for the Austrian loan, that not more than 1,200,0004 in specie had cm that occasiou been tranetnitied front this country to the Continent. But let the House look to the rate ofthe foreign exclinsiges at that time, end for the preceding year, and it. would be found that do iti dividual could remit gold from this country to the Continent, withoot sostaining a very coitaiderable loss. The Report of the Committee was at that tint-, lie believed, Meseta up by the father of the Noble Earl opposite; and it was therein stated as a remarkable feet, that the reports to Germa n y in th e ti me of war amounted to eight millions while in peace they did not exceed 1,900,0001. The Batik at that time stated time imperial loan as the cause of the restriction; but let the House look to the evidence of Gilew amid Boyd, and it would be found that if the Government had paid to the Bank by the Ist of January the advance of four millions due to it, the Bank could hot fail in making its payments. Upon this point he had also the opinions of the Bank Directors themselves, who, on the expectation that they should in the fol lowing year resume their cash payments, coined the Government to reduce the debt from 11,700,0004 to 4,278,0004 ; and if the remainder of the debt had been discharged, they would never have heard of a projected Austrian loin, which was after. wards abandoned, advanced as a reason for iin positig the restriction.—(Hear, hear.) lie might, in his view of the subject, here stop, and rest satisfied with having , hewn the absurdity of suppesitig that a foreign loan could exercise any influence upon the currency of this country. ; but h e could nut avoid adding, that it evinced au ignorance of the subject quite disgraceful, if any one could believe that if all the Guvernments of the Continent were tiegociating loans, and were all supplied by British capitalists, they could drain this country of specie.--/Hear, hear.)--On this subject lie had published a book in the year 1812, with a direct reference to the circum stances now actually exiatitsg, and though malty works had since appeared on the same subject, he had clever heard his doctrine controverted. 'flue Noble Earl here read several passages from his own publication, shewiiig the impossibility of having a commercial and manufacturing country drained of cash ; for it argued that, in ease of remittaucev, they would he sent in commodities ; but should the markets become glutted, and render a partial remit. lance of cash necessary, this remittance, by ruising the value of money, would proportionably diminish the nominal value of commodities and encourage their farther exhortation. This resuming he held to he iticontrovertible, and that, consequently, no foreign louse could ieterrupt the measures of the Batik for resuming c.sli payineute.— What, however, were these measures of the Bank ? There was before their Lordships au ac count, shearing th e average h alf -yearly issues of the Batik , and he there found that the average for the half yew routing itt December last, amounted' to e9,e09,000/. Th a spewed that there was no diminution iii their issues. To understand this matter, however, in all its bearings, lie hail moved their Lordships for an account, sliewing what awns of 11101117 the Bank had advanced to Government uposi Exchequer Bills, and other securities; but this account, the Noble Earl opposite, had induced their Lordships to refuse. lie had been desirous of th.v account also, for the purpose of seein g the rfarilt to which the Bank car. tied the illegal practices of holding Government practices he should call them, witlistaiiiiiiig that the Noble Earl opposite (Liverpool) stared at him for the expression, fur he held that they were derided!: contrary to the 6th of Wi:liatti, a.

Baulk, iiiileeil Tho , expressed their desire constantly retorts to ca•li payments; and the Governmeitt also assure Parliament, and the country that thee are no b-se ; but to him the whole. pro.. ceedimg appeared little abort of a row r,lete ju g ple between the Batik and the Graihr 1111 l rid. or wo cot the oiiiitiy tea. to be the dupe.—(Hear, hear, heas.)—lle did not desire to force this 111011 UllOll the !louse, but lie thou g ht it hUificiri:t to induc e their Lordships, if they desired to fullii their ditty as a !hoisted Parliament, to institute ast inquiry into it. The second device of the Government was a pro.. position of a most extraordinary nature, namely, that country bookers should not isbite notes of one and two pounds, without having deposited stuck to the amount orl6o/. for every 100/, circulated, or an equal soon in Exchequer Bills. Could it he be lieved that such a proposition would have bee,. made if it were intended to discontinue the restriction cm cash payments l—(Hear, !tear.)—The people of this country required no other security than tile re turn to the former state of the currency. The int. position of the Beak restriction had, indeed, en shied Many speculators to engage in banking, und. had brought ruin upon many but if the country were restored to its ilaturel state, this evil would be obviated, and in' the re-e-tablishineot of individual credit, would he found the best secu rity for the country,—/ country was our of the richest in the world, and had loo t( en joyed a prosperity uarivalled by &Most any other people. Let them consult writers who had mutini ed the circumstances of the country, and they would find Ilea this prosperity had been principally atth s. lotted to the extent of private credit, which Lid, i t s a great degree, rendered capital comparatively no urcessary. This would, he feared, be interrupted by the proposed alteration, which to !Mitt se eme d nothing more titan au a, bitrary isiterferenc e ou the part of Government, which went tuatigtuatise pri vate bunkers, by declaring security -necessary for their issue of small 'toter, and by amiilitlating those of larger value, give a mouopuly in them to the favoured Bank of England.—jilear, hear.)._. Men of character, he feared, would tint sulhuhit to this indignity, while, by the systein, any stock holder, by only paying 304 lot a license toGoeerii mew, might issue stock notes to any amount he thought proper ; an d b y red eiving at the same time theinterest of his stock, thus obtain o double pro fit. Much as he disapproved the present state of the currency of the country, lie yet feared that remedies of so suspicious a nature mere not calcu lated to effect any good object; but they were such at least as imperiously demanded the strictest in quiry by Parliament. Did not the stale of the currency, he shoulcl ask, require their particular attention, wheii it was kolown. as he should prove to their Lordships, if they gt all t ed him a Committee, that the notes of th., Bank, dieted before the Ist of January, 1+417, whicii were convertible into cash, had been cumitionly sold at 2 per cent.? Could the currency be established on correct principles, when it was kiiowil that the money issued, not above six mouths 'Mee, try die Bank, amounting its *sovereigns to 2,6-uo,ooo/. had completely vanished from the country. The Noble Earl (Liverpool) had agreed witii !jai. on other uccasio..., in saying, that die best cm rency was that consisting principally of paper. convertible at the will of the holder into gull ; but what could be said of a paper currency' con sisting of Bunk notes, not cons ertilde into r,..id, of Batik notes payable to a certain date, of cianitry notes circulating on the credit oft deposit, and country Hates without a deposit? Or what could be said of a metallic currenty, consistin g of gold coined without a seignorage, of silver with a sci;.;n orage, of silver issued at Gs. 8.1, au ounce, and of silver in Ireland at 7.. al. ? It was impossible that all these various species of currency could circu late together, and in this opinion he was et unrifled by that of the author of Leiter in the king on the State of the Currency." which, although con taining many opinions in which he could in.t con. cot, yet coincided with him in that. There war no point, however, that more aerionsly demanded investigation than the Mint revolts linos. On those regulations, and the alteratio n they introduced into the atouetary system of the country, he had already expressed his opinion. He had combated and ridiculed the reasons that hail been assigned for chauging the standaid born silver to gold, conceiving it vs necessary that a iica country should have a high standard, as that a se b. r of much cloth 'Nomad use s longer yard dam one woo had tetra to dispose of, or that tit a plentiful harvest e large bushel should be used. Coin mss aiteritteet with two advantag es ; one was that of being a ineaa sure of vain-, the other a means of circulatiu4 property.
