' " At a Court of Directors, at the Bank i . on Thursday, the 20th of May, 18)9. " The Directors of the Bank. of England, having taken into their most serious cousiderTi:ion the Itepurts of the Secret Comrui[te , !s of the two Houses of Parliament, iv - rowed to inquire into the stare of the Bank of 'England with reference to the expediency of the resumn‘ion of Cash Pay ments at the period now fixed, have thought it their duty to lay before his Aiajesty's Nfioners, as eatly as possible, their sentiments with regard to the measures suggested by these Committees for the approbation of Parliamen;. the first place it appears, that in the view of the Committees, the mehsure of the Bank re commenetng Cash Payments on ;he sth of July ne*t,,ti,te_trricprescritred by the existing law, *h i d/. itnoaCr Leah le, * 50:41,-vve.”l-i be cut ir inefficient, if not ruinous.' • " Secondly, It appeA7s that the two Commit tees have come to their cortrlnsgon at a oeriod when the outstanding notes of the fiank c:" Eng land do not much excued 25,000,0001. when the price of gold is emu: 41. Is per ounce, an f when there is great distress from the stagnation of commerce, and the fall of prices of imported articles. " It must be obvious to his Majesty's thar ar-long as such a state of things shall last, or one in any degree similar, without either considerable improvement on one side, or grow ing worse on the whet', the Wink, Acting as it does at present, and keeping its issues nearly at the present level, could not venture to return to Cash Payments wick any probability of benefit to the, Public, or safety to the Establishment. " The two Committees of Parliament, appa rently actuated by this consideration, have ad vised that the Bank 511811 not open Payments its Coin for a period of f‘ior yeats, but sh ;11 be obliged from the 1-st of May, 1821, to discharge their notes in standard gold bullion at the Mint price, when demanded, in sums nor amounting to less than 30 ounces. And as it appears to the Committee expedient, that this return to pay.- mews, at Mint price, should he maul gradually, they propose, that on the first day of February next the Bank should pay their notes in bullion, if demanded, in sums not less than 60 ounces, at the rate of 41. Is. per nonce; and from the Ist of October, 1820, to the Ist of May following, at 31. 19s. 6d, an ounce. " If the Directors of the Bank have a trite 'comprehension of the views of the Coromittees, in Submitting this scheme to Parliament, '! !fey are obliged to infer, that the object of the Coufmit tees is to secure, at every hazard, and under every possible variation of ctrcumstanceS, the return of payments in gold, at Mint pi ice, for Bank notes, at the .expiiation of two yeacl, and that this measure is so to he manaeO, that the Mint price denominati,ms shall ever afterwards belpre served, leaving the market or exclia:: : :e price of gold to be controuled by the Bank, Solely by, the amount of their issues of notes. • It further appears to the Directors, with re t.:ard to the final execution of this plan, and the paywnt of Bank notes in gold, at ,Mot price, that discretionary power is to be token away tint') the Ballk, and that it is merely to regulate its issues acid make purchases of gold,• so as to be enohied to answer all possible demands whenever its. treasury shall be again opened for the payment of its notes. Under these impressions the Directors of the Bank think it right to observe to his Majesty's that hein engaged to pay on de mand their notes in statutable coin, at the Mint, price of 31. 17s. 10141. per .ounce, they 0110 to be the last persons who should object to any measure ealculated to effect that end ; but as it is incumbent on . them to con sider the effect of any measure to he adopted, as operating on the general issue of their notes, by which all the private Banks arc regulated \ and of which the whole currency, exclusive of. the notes of private bankers, is composed, they feel them selves obliged, by the new situation in which they have been placed by the Restriction Act of 1797, to hear in mind not less their duties to the esta blishment over which they preside, than their du ties to the community at !al ge; whose interests. in a pecuniary and commercial relation, have, in a great degree, been. confided to their discretion. " The Directors being thus obliged to extend their views, and embrace the interests of the whole community in their consideration of this measure, cannot but feel a repugnance, hower:r involtottary, to pledge themselves in ah l n ;hat inn of d system which, in their.cipinion, in ail its great tendencies and operations, concerns the country in general more than - the immediate in terests of the Bank alone. " it is not certainly a part of the regular deity of the Bank, under its original institution, to en ter info the,general views of policy by which this great empire is to be governed in all its commer cial and pecuniary transactions, which exclusively belong to the Administration, to Parliann'ut, and to the Community at large ; nor is it the province of the Bank to expound the principles by which these views ought to be regulated. Its peculiar and appropriate ditty it the management of the concerns of the Banking Establishment, as con nected with the payment of the inteiest of the National Debt, the lodgments consigned to its care, and the ordinary advances it has been accus tomed to make to Government. " But when the Directors are now to be called upon in the new situation in which :ley are placed by the Restriction Art, to procure a fund for supporting t he whole national currency, either [PRICE SEVENPF,NCE. in bullion or in coin, ann when it i 3 pioposed that they should effect this measure wi:Lin a given pvrlod, by regulating the market price of gold, fey a iLaitation of the amount of the iisne of Bank No:eS, with whatever diktress such limitrition may be atten,ed to l!dividuals or the community at large, tbeyfeel it their bounden anti impetiotis duty so state their'Sentiments tbuscxpliciJy, 'in the first instance to his Majesty's Ministers,._ on this subject, that a tacit cunsent and concurrence at this Juncture may not, at some future period, be con tried into a previous itnplicd tanction, on their part, of a systeqt which they cannot but consider fraught with very great uncertainty and risk. " It is impossible for them to decide before what. shall be the course of events for the next .two, much less for the next four years ; they have no right to hazard a flattering conjecture, for which they have not real grounds, in which they may be diaappointed,_an! I.telt they may ha con.sidered etosclit.,:ibie, They cannot venture to adri!ie an :Onreloting cnutinoance of pecuniary prt•ssures upon the commercial world, of which it iMpossihk for them either to foresee or estimate the consequent es; " The Directors have already submitted to - the • House of Lords the expediency of the Ban!: pay ing its notes in bullion at the market p, is a of the day, with a view of seeing bow far favourable commercial balances may operate in restoring the former order of things, of which they might take advantage. And with a -similar view they have proposed, that GovernMent'sbould repay the Bank a considerable part of the sums that have been advanced upon Exchequer. Bills. " These two measures. would - allow- time for a' correct judgment to be formed upon the state of the bullion market, and uponrlite result of those changes, which the late war may-have produced in all its consequence of increased;. public debt, increased taxes, increased prices, rani altered re lations, as to interest, capital, and 'commercial dealings with the Continent ; and how far the al terations thus produced aretempurary or pet mtv. new, and to what extent, and in what degrile they operate. " It was, the. design of the Directors, in pursuance of the before•mentioned two measures, to take advantage of every circumstance which could enable the Bank to extend its pur chases of bullion, as far as a legitimate consideration of thu ordinary wants of the nation for a sufficient currency could possibly warrant. Beyond this point they do not consider themselves justified in going, upon any opinion ,conjecture or sj , eculation, uiereiy their own : and when a system is recom mended, it seems to takearwa'y from the Bank any thing like a .discretituracycon-ratiosa of tire necessities and the dints eski of the commercial world. If the Directors withhold their previous consent it is not from a want of deference to Ws. Ma. jesty's Government, or to the opinions of the Committees of the two Houses of Parliament; hut solely from a serious feeling that they have no right whatever to invest themselves of their own accord, with the responsibility of countenancing a mea sure in which the whole communi ry is so deeply involved ; and possibly to compromise the universal interests of the Empire,. in all the relations of agriculture, manufacture, corn -Merce, and revenue, by a seeming acquiescence, or declared approbation, on the part of the Directors of the Bank of Eng land. "The consideration of these great questions, and of the degree in which all these leading and coruniandiag intereJs may be affected by the measure proposed, rests with the Le gislature; and it is for them, after solemn deliberation, and not for the Bank, to determine and decide upon the course to be adopted. " Whatever reflections may have from time to time been cast upon the Bank—whatever invidious representations of its conduet may have been made, the cautious conduct itadopted in so measuring the amount of currency, as to make it ade quate to the wants both of the nation and of the Government, at the same time keeping it within reasonable hounds, when compared with what existed before the war, as is shewn 'in the Lords' Reports, pages 10, 11, 12, and 13; the recent effort to return to a system of Cash-payments, which commenced with the fairest. prospects (bat which was afterwards frustrated by events that could not be foreseen nor controuled by the Bank), are of themselves a sudicient refutation of all the obloquy which has been so undeservedly heaped upon the Establish ment. " The Directors of the Bank of England, in submitting these considerations to his Majesty's Ministers, request that they may be allowed to assure them, that it is always their anxious desire, as far as depends upon them, to aid, by every consistent means, the measures of the Legislature for further ing the prosperity of the Empire.
