Torres of the Esideuce b,tore the Comnintee The l.i head, v•r. the remed,e. recommended in the Report for the incen venieo.ce, is as follo•v.: - - The gre..it And effectual remedy to the high and finetuiting rite+ of the e‘olianae, undoubtedly, would be the repeal of the Restnettun Ant, from whence all the evils have flowed; the common circulating medium being thereby restored. the vise . of exchinge pr would be limited to the eivience of toms ining spueie, and impr heing convertible into c its depre tl3llnll would be prev,nted. The expense Mitt rtiffirultv to the Sink of 'rebus.; and other banxt might be exposed, in the event of the risnictmn being taken olf, tinder the pie s•mt eireurn.t.inoi: of the exchange, form, however, a strong ar giunent against the :Olin ad.rotion of such a measure. No other lesion arising from commercial rriovves bat suggest .. ._ el its •Ifto your committee for its continuance in Ir land, more . elp.ctally if the real exchange be favourable, .s they have al ready stated that it Inure be in tl.eir bpinion ; but u its coati , wren.s may be conciectel with political considerations, the dii COI./ 1/1 of which would :evolve your committee in a very ex tended and tedium enquiry, thiy abstain from entering into the renewal expesitency of removing or continitin.; the restriction at thc present tante, or into any conjecture of the period when it ma. , bt expedient. Such remedies, Cierefrre, aa may answer to give redress dur• in` w cntitinaance, are next to be considered ; arid the great cohject of mane of those which ham been suggested, is the pm. enring a comm..). circulating medium in the Ounce of guineas. With this view, eroocilidation of the two Ba .la of England Mul Ireland has triton proposed, and supported with very plau sible a/gement. be Mr. Borrowee; but its ILTpIIdTIICI WWI mower i and when the rapid wiriness which the manufactures. trade, and at:culture of Ireland have made stem the restaborMineot of the bank, and the great as istance vihieh the- have received front it, under the woe and 'diesel er.ndect of its director., are conoCe-cil, tour committee cannot reconoil the puma( those truths. to • hazard, own if the redrew Ma Melt exchange cuu'd w ensued therebs : but, put ting the hazard out of the question. the measure mums ignore& ticaole ttanut the Consent of mint banks, which the evidence shrews very wiliicely to la , procure. Outer modes of obtaining a com mon medium such as that of incLicing or sum compelling the Bank of Ireland to give Bank of Eaglaud Mach-130 for their awn on demand, or to wake their owes recnang able fen th•mi ou Lond.m, or to Rye boils (1/ e: change nit 1...nd0n for them, have been smug. gait. and there is ins .butt any of Meal would hays the eifict of re:Cl:Stag •he exchange. The objection Mat h.:s been made to this nro,.sata.:, is the ditfieu'ty and =pence to the Bank of Ireland, would attend the procuring a fund in London on which to d,. ton Chi the rriur committee ob. 'rye, generally, that 'a-Attics the drfficue, nor the expe.ice attendant on tnis ' measure would be so great as that to which the bank, by its constitution, is necersarily sunjese at all times, when riot pro tected by a reeriction from rriormang its engagements; and that whatever funds liar hank formerly applied, or intend again to api.fy, WI the Femoral of the restriction to pr • de for the difficulty and expenee of obtaining a supdlinf gold, might in the interim be applied es the procuring of English bank notes; the evidence of Mr. Wiathrop points out the practicability of Witainffig a sufficient supply of Bank of England tintea with such a fund j his expression s, turd " the lurk of Pe'and, or any prelim, may poseur, ba"k notes now to any extens, if they will pay for Owls ^ But Mr. Macisfiedirs evidence so ch,irly strews the practical mode of causing this measure into effect, that yew commatee cannot imps.- it toe stror.!'y upon the attention of the ; it alums, in the example of Scotland, hoe eTectuallu a vi..y small rigoroinly and wisely appli• ed,did rip . wax, and that banks ;here did establsh an adequate tumid, with ultimata edrantate Gs therriselses. HI/ account states, that r• there was, atter the peace of Ye,- 'aides in 1;64 ..a exehange M 5 or 6 poi cent. against Scritlard With London, created by per. •ns collecting gold from the dif ferent build butte , briuging it to Londou, and pawing their built at Edieburgh for it, in order to put a p.utit into their own pockets by raising the exchange. The teo ettaite,e4 Bank. of S etland,meing that tin, exchange arose from artificial means collected as much foods a. they could to tiring to London, and by dewiest gradually at or 1 ,sir cent. less than the other., reduced the each wee to what they esteemed par bills of 40 days date •*--et winch it has aboulils continued aver since, un.iirectc •ed Unt failure of the Bank of Ayr; the ru,•vubion- to cr. dit ha general ice 179 , 1 and 179f1; the failures it 1191 and the ficulti:s which caused ties reatriction us 1797 in England. but winch was not extended to the clustered banks of Scotland ; and all this notwithyrasiding he great prenimpti:in, that if a o account of all pecuniary transactions bearers Scotland and Znglauid could be riireeitained, it must hate often happened that the balance was ag invo the one tountry or the other. Thu tact gives g eat face to the arguments oi those wit. twines who propose that the Bank of Ireland th.rald estat,!Sli a credit fa the like pays.: in Laudon; neither presc.it peculiar siteattou of the f..-h Munn's um only palms out a ready, hut an adequate and effective fund, which, at the Are tarnethat it glues to the Bank ot Inland every prnspect of success which teas attended the IMAM/WTI of the charter!! balks of Seotl eid. exempts it horn al *merle ", risk, or difficultc, whirls iteght attend it ; for you committee must observe, that the Batik of Scotland undertaalt to iimrady this find at their own expcnce ; but the Banker Ireland has an opportunity of tstablishing it Mithrott rxpeou- to theimeleeS; and further, it appears to have been sogeMted in the hanks of lsontlmell by their lewd seam end patriotism, tn try the "rot t of a lIWISUIV without precAent, while Cie Rank of /ream) has emits to follow an example where success has been areal} deuse..strand by tape. rmore Your Committee has stated, that the areal loan, and other teialler Melt to be sensilbei the year Vint I nte Ind to the [rub Government, amounts to 5,000,1'n01. Irish • thee have also rhewn that there i. nano° to believe the ro4e wird by the Irish T. , ..ourv, of bringuie mer the loans from England, 4.0 i been pre • oid,el4l to the ea.:bangs; and the whole weight of evidence toes to it could be much more advantarouily ntanag d by the Plank of Ire:and; thee therefore recommnid that inamediale ineaauns should be taken with the lank of Jrcland for that purpose, and for their establidung an offAtual fund in London for their drawng on, whereby they nue gta. dually reduce the e•citiatire in the manner somewhat rest n • tiling that which .as adopted ay the Edinburgh banks. If may arguments should be thought neemsary in aid of the str ing prartiral example which Scotland affords, they would refer to lie evidence of Mr. D'Olier, and of others, but particularly • WI. Ir‘ing, who states, " that if the tank were toinvest part • at he capital in Eng , and, thereby furnishing a feud which would at ail times give it the means of drawing, it would in . sods case have a minion.; over eachange operatioes,, of such ?neer as to enable it at all fishes to regulate the exchange ,' a•-•I says aeain, " that he is• ol•I consider a loan of 2, J, or England fur .1,- the invent of land, paid it:tattle Bank of to he placed theta to the credit of the Rank of Ireland, to topeTVC 10 311 intents and pis.-. poses es suck fund." Mr. Irvuti adds," that the •eatleri o f suc h a t o ad in I.u.nlau ingot, and most probably would, ba attended with considerable expenoe to the banks but the esii of the expuice wawa he temporary, the real would be per. marten' to the hank and to the piddle." Thi, plan, he .sys, " would neemeattly oblige the Bank of Ireland to be & e h,n i n exchange, which would be a new ammo nt okaatage that aratild i• ore than competnafe the additional 114 and troublo." A committee are inclined to think that the Lining eie•- Pure make- it expedient that .booted deal en saw, attateuft vo,eht have been their Interest or plarece befero, and th a t it u tat dote et both lgaiiks ...Weaves/. tb d, utmost of their power, to regular d.e mosey stealth, between the two coun tries an free front itetuat aitilSt as Steal( par at ail times, es it is b.de ern o r L i eq.twil and ; and they .rro nodose with that rentie. , ilii n.

In t.

Of the amount of such surplus your cementite do nut pretend to forin any judgment ; be it what it may, lt Isar; codas both to the bank and to the public where it I way a, d t were tanned by thrift in the earth ; but by being app , sed to Crew esteliange from the mischiefs which oppre,s 0, it taiga' be of warmed service.

Another means of aiding the endeavours of tee Nankin ere Mine such a fund of credit in London occur —the vesting the Gomenment with power to issue Treasury 'ldle to the Bank, not to Se made use of, nnless they should be tnund necessary to su:ipon that avdit ; and another and effectual resource still re main...their enlarging they capital for the purpose; so that, upon tee whole of the Government Letns in England, the nt dundav ► teens now Ineked up, ilia contingent aid of Treasury Rd s, and a power to the Bank of enlarging its capital ; your comm . :nee cannot entertain a doubt of the practicability of what they recommend, nor that it ought to have the sure effect of redurirg exchange to par. In CAW of such event, they would also strongly urge the doing away the name of exchange, and punitig an end to its calculation, by equalising the tenni.% of account and monies of circulation in both countries, and the fixing the future interchange by Rills, at a stated number of • Ur, adequate to defray the expense of remitting at alt times, sn as fully to adopt the same practice which preset). between Fdinburgli and London, and between Liverpool and London. le mentioning Liverpool (which is divided from Dublin only by the intervention of the Irish channel), it is worthy of re mark, that Mr. living states " the separation of Ireland (num Great Anal', by the Sea not to be an obstacle to the fixing an invariable exchange between Dublin and London, because it seldom Witten. the variation of pusts exceeds many days ;" and Mr. Mansfield's evidence deserves again to be recurr.el to, when he says " that 110 inconvenieece of apy kind had r...olteil to Scotland front the sienna, except the temporary one of the banks having to pretrial.• funds in London at the commence ment of it ;" on the contrary, he aiserts, it was prodative of the gteutest good. But all the benefit.. proposed this reeds of remedies would be of little avail, and of very limited duration, ii it did not proms eat the same nine to cure the depreciatiim of paper in Ireland by dirnioisning its over•insue ; a consequence whir+, your committee are firmly pers..aded a must follow the Bank of inland's not.. being made convertible into Lusk of England notes, almost ia the same manner as if the restrictioi ceased, and they were cocvenikle it se inf4l; for if the fund in London intim Isiah Bank 'hound be too rapidly drawn CM at any time, they most limit their i-sue of notes to lessen the demons' on that fund, their notes would of emirs. lose their depresiatiun ' and became of equal v a lu e ash et a Ligiish notes, into winch they would be convertible, or, in other weeds, win guineas, slid., Lt glish notes shall be endepreciated ; and your committee du t:i capers. terms declare their clear oainien, that it to incum bent nit the directors of the Bank of Ireland, and their indis pensable duty, to limit their paper at alt times of an Unfavour able exchange daring the continuance of the restriction ' ex actly on the tame principle as they would and must have done iu case the restriction did not exist; and that all the evils of a high and fluctuating exchange must be imputable to them if they fad todo so. Y• air committee have a proof of the effect which rendeting B ink of England notes procurable in Leland would have upon the exchange, by the great full of it from Dublin no LOOlatioll, in the nionthsef March, April, and May, 1797, when Government passed Beck of England notes int DOA n ; and this further benefit will attend the red oct of the qsatitity of their paper, that it will cremate as a preparative fora we speedily t-movi.ue the restriction on the Bank when ever other eireumstances than allow the measure to take place. Your committee, however, do not whit to be untieroned as re commending the telaction of the paper of the Bank of Ireland, ot her w ise than cautiously and gradually. • - - It may be material Aso to assist their endeavours by a dhoti nation of the is.ue of paper from Finest. Hankers and other dealers ; to effcct which much attention should be given to re strain the naper of the country banks, by a strict enforcement of the law, reopening the registry of bankers, and the full pay meat of stamp tholes. It will else deserve oonsideration, miss th;:r, at a future time, all !sinkers whatever, except the Rank of Ireland. should nut be prevented from issuing asiv note* or past-bills under 101. nr 10 Guineas, as yr. Roush mentions ; and, sa soon as a preler and sudiesent tits es esti rem: sr is so.esired, it would seem expedient that the issue anises note, should be entirely suppressed.

Your Committee feel with satisfaction, that this view of the injunous eff,:cts of the loans (rein England tends to dispel the gloomy prospect of the distressing and still more in creased height of exchange : when public eircuinstantvii shall allow the system of Ireland's raising the larger portion of her annual -upply by suck loans, to be altered, the suppression of this system will then naturally tend to make her increase her exports and diminish her imports, and bring exchange to par. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, JUNE 20. Sailed the Certlrrus frigate, Capt. Selby, to cruise off Guernsey, and the Ant cutter on a cruise.

Lette• s from Gibraltar of the sth of May state, that on the preceding day the Agincourt and Argo had arrived there from Malta with the Captain and ctcw of the Hinoluton store-ship, burned some time ago in the Mediterranean. It now appear. that the loss of that vessel was occasioned by a spontaneous combustion, excited by some oil having been acciden tally spilled among some hemp and bedding. When the ship was discovered to be on fire, she was twelve leagues from the land, but the people were so fortu nate as to smother the flames till they run her un shore, when she was completely destroyed. This accident, we hope, will serve as a Wattling never to suffer linseed, or indeed any oil to b, put on board any valuable naval store ship. The fad has been long known that hemp, impregnated with oil, will inflame, without any other cause, by the fermentation which it excites in the mass. The Hindoston had I:,0 , 1 tons of naval stores on hoard, and was worth near 200,000 L ; but the intrinsic cost, great as it is, i, nothing compared to the pos sible mischiefs that our navy may suffer from the want of necessary stores. Lord Nelson's fleet de pended almost solely upon this vessel for a supply of many indispensable articles, of which they are now, and must continue to be deprived for some tiniii, a circumstance which may even occasion the blockade of 'Toulon to be raised, should the vessels experience any severe weather, as they have been so long out that some of them absolutely have not a spare sail to replace any that may be blown away. Our letters from Gibraltar also state, that the Rus sians are fitting out nearly twenty sail of the line in the Black Sea, and colleding magazines for victual ing them in the Archipelago. Should hostilities take place between France and Russia, this force will be of great use in the Mediterranean. The Sal/erten, Davis, from Plymouth, bound to Bristol, is on shots war Mount Bakal, and full of water. KM, Tuabssors'Justs Itts Venire See Nat,lea le Lisboa r f .
