TI-I.E BIIITI Sit 131'tESS. LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 5. 1820. The statements ensile in Parliament by the CHANCELLOR Of the EXCHEQUER previous to the recess, hsve had some influence upon the prices of stuck : consols for account were yestrrilsy at 69. and a further improvement to enticipated. As the quarter closes this day, we shall shortly be enabled to ascertain how far the result justifies Mr. VAN.. SITTART'S sanKuine expectations. . . The very low state of the funds during the last two mouths must have been a source of some grati fication to the Lords of the Treasury, as it gave a greater relative magnitude to the money applicable in the hands of the Commissioners for liquidating the national debt than had been calculated by the Cnancit.Lott of the EXCHEQUER when he made known his plan of finance in the List Session of Parliament. The prices, however, were as high as was Consistent with the interests of the country, and we freely confess that we should not be sorry that some means were devised for enabling the Com missioners to redeem the debt at nit amount not ex ceeding the prices now qiuneil. l'he immense magnitude of the debt, by absorbing the far greater portion of the actual capital of the country, and preventing it from being employed in promoting profitable labour, is, independent of the weight of its charger, a great and incalculable evil, while the fund appropriated for its redemption is now so con temptibly trifling that no rational hope can be en tertained of its effecting any serious relief to the country before the return of war shall render it ne cessary to recur to the system of borrowing. The hope of seeing any considerable reduction effected in the debt is rendered still more desperate by the knowledge, that even an actual increase in the amount of the sinking fuud will make little or no difference in the relative proportion it hears to the amount of the debt, because the market price of stock will rise in proportion as the fund increases in the hands of the Commissioners. If therefore we look forward to sonic relief from this dreadful and oppressive weight that paralyses all the energies of the people, sinks them into au ahject state of poverty, breaks down their high spirit, and ex hausts the resources which should be husbanded against the hour of danger, some moderate limit should be placed to the growing amount of the public debt. This dreadful burden has already been increased considerably by tlit operation of the plan for effecting a return to a metallic currency, and every fraction of increase in the market prices of stocks, is an addition of the same amount to the load with which the nation is afflicted. The capi tal of the debt at this moment amounts nearly to SIGHT HUNDRED MILLIONS, but of the public creditors, whose united debts are comprised within this enormous mass, how very few are there, if any, who advanced their capital for the use of the coon try at the nomival amount of their credits. By limiting the amount, therefore, below par, at which the Commissioner* might redeem. no injury could be inflicted upon any man, while by fixing a fair average, a very considerable portion of the public creditors would gain extensively. Indeed it would be a gross injustice to the country to pay at par a debt of, which • very large part was bor rowed at between 40 and 0 in the 3 per cents. and very little, if any, at a higher rate than 70. We should, horiever, consent to have 70 fixed as the. highest price for the 3 per cents. (the other Govern• meat securities bring fixed in the same proportion), by which means, without doing a positive injury to any of the public creditors, n limit would be lilac• ed to the stiii•unt of the delg—the relative propos.. lion which tLe stoking fund bears to the unredeein .rd capital would gradually iiicres.—the nejoimi burden irusilil progressively diminish—the people would be itspited with courage to meet their diffi culties as the limy. ct was unfolded, that the time wu rapidly approaching when some effectual relief from their sacrifice, might be expected—and filially, the pernicious inducement which leads capitalists, to employ their wealth in speculat►nt in the funds would be 'removed, and they would be compelled ha seek other mean• for turiiing it to advantage, *Lich would redound more to their own credit, and to the general tisterevta of mankind. The greet evil of Mr. Ilicanno's suggestion for paying the national debt, was the Sllddruilitis with which 90 vast an 010.1-91i0t1 WIN to he effected. We are surprised that a man of Mr. IZICAiDo'a excel lent understanding could have overlooked the dan ger. that must arise—the violent convulsion that must be felt from permitting such an immense amount of capital to float at once upon society. Tins value of all property Most be at once violently and extensively altered, and many years must elapse before the country could he revtoied to its natural condition. In the mean time, how great and alarming must be the cosifu.ion ! Our limited experience has shewu us what extensive evils may arise in a cinotry from on alteration in the currency even of 6 or 8 per cent. ; but such an alteration would be in.igtolic int and of little importance, in comparison with the mighty change contemplated by Mr. RICARDO. We agree, however, with him, that some means must be speedily devised of counteracting the evils resulting from the existence of our enormous debt, but the unlocking of so much capital must be cautiously effected. If permitted gradually to escape, it will purify the political ntmospliere, and descend upon the land in fruitfulness and prospe rity ; but if, on the contrary, it be srut forth with out restraint or liinit, it will poison the springs of our strength, and will pervert the greatest blessing into the greatest mischief. We are happy to learn from the Glasgow Chronic*, that trade begins to assume, in that lowa, some ap pearance of its wonted activity. Several houses have engaged a considerable number of weavers, and it is added, that " more business has been done in printed goods within these right days, than was done Stir six months before." The accounts from Manchester are to the same effect, and we may pre sume that a corresponding improvement has taken place in the cotton trade in general. The approach of prosperity is any one part °four system cannot fail of producing a favourablk impression upon the rest, and us a proof of it. we find not only from the Pro viocial Papers, but from private communication, that the country, even throughout those parts that were usually distinguished as " the disturbed dis tricts," wears theapprarauccof the utmost tranquil. lity. Indeed from every account which we have been enabled to collect, we entertain not the least doubt that the statements made in and out of Parliament by the partisans of Iklinisters, ►espect iug the state of the country, were grossly and ►hamefully exaggerated, for the purpose of attain. lug a particular object, and now that this object is attained, they acknowledge the tranquillity, but attribute it wills unblushing confidence to the vio lent mini! unconstitutional measures lately adopted. To exasperate a people, however, is not the most probable means of correcting any angry or dis affected feelings which they might chance to en- Certain ; but as those feelings, if really existing among any considerable portion of the people, must have originated altogether from idleness and want, so they will be most effectually counteracted by such an improvement in the trade and coin meter of the country, as will give employment to the labouring classes, and enable them to support their families in an independent and comfortulale manner.
