At the conclusion of the evidence in the Report of the Commons' Bank Committee, is the follow ing, important Document : At a court of Directors of the Baiil of England, held on 'Thursday, the 25th March, 1819: The Court, having taken into se , ious consideration the following questions, proposed by the Secret Committee of the House of Co►muons, viz.— 1. To what further period, in the opinion of the Bank, ought the restriction on cash-payments to be continued ? 2. Have the Bank any suggestions to offer, with respect to any assistance that can be afforded, to the Bank, by le gislative enactment or otherwise, for facilitating their resumption of cash-payments I Resolved, Thatlhe restriction on Cash Payments was alto gether a measure of state-necessity ; and that the object for ingniry now is presumed to be, not when the Bank will be prepared to resume pavnien's in si.ccie, but whether the public will be able to bear that redaction. of rite circulating medium which a speedy adoption of the measure would render indispensable. Tliat previous to the war, the amount of specie in circula tion was variously estimated, even by persons best qualified from their situations to obtain information ; it seerus, how ever, to be agreed that it was about 30,000,0001. ; but what ever the amount, the whole bas been exported. That this Court has never ceased to he dui), irapressed with the great additional responsibility which devolved upon the Bank on the passing, the Restricti..n iket, and the Directors have uniformly endeavoured conscientiously to discharge a most delicate ana important duty. That considerations of profit to the Bank have never in finenced the Directors in the t issues of their paper; but they hare invariably endeavobred, as much as Ossible, to limit the amount; arid when all circumstances are considered, it may justly admit of a question, whether, instead of com plaining of excess, there is not rather ground for surprise that the amount has been so circumscribed. That in the course of the years 1816 and 1817, a favourable turn in the exchanges enabled the Bank to collect a sum of treasure, whicts., in addition to what was already in its cof fers, would have been sufficient to meet the opening, if the hopes which were then entertained had been realized : more; especially, as the loans to Government of 6,000,0001. and 3.000,0001. were in course of payment, and the greater part of the other advances on Exchequer Bills became due before the sth of July, 1818, the day on whiCh• the liestriction Bill was to have expired; that the system of finance which it has been thought proper to adopt has not favoured the Wine quent liquidation of these advances, is in no degree attribut able to the Bank.. That this Court believing there was a positive evil in keep ing out of the general circulation the whole of the large amount of the gold which had been collected, determined, in some degree, to anticipate the opening; anti accordingly, in April, 1817, advertised the payment of ail notes tinder 51. dated prior to January, 1816 : and subseqoently, in the month of September, further advertised the payment of notes of every description dated prior to Jahuary, 1817, being to the amount of many millions. That the public, instii , ad of availing themselves of the op portunity thus affor.led of obtaining gold for notes, brought their guineas into the Bank; and this contilawd to be the case till tlo; issue of the sovereigns and half-sovereig ns, for which there was an immediate demand, though at f ist only as objects of curiosity. That thus for a short season there appeared every reason to hope that the resumption of Cash Payments, an event to which all bad looked with more or less anxiety, ►night have, taken place imperceptibly; but this flattering prospect seas of short duration; the extensive financial operations on the Continent, in which British subjects had taken se large a share; caused the exchanges, which perhaps had been forced above their natural level, to fall so greatly below par, as to make gold, more especially the new coin, a very advantageous remittance ; and thus the Bank has been d►ained of a large portion of what had been accumulated. That, with the experience already possessed, and after• the most mature deliberation, this Court is of opinion, that. in order to the re-establishment of a metallic currency, it will be necessary that the Bank should not only he provided with a sufficient fund to meet time demands which may be made upon it, with, reference to the amount of its notes in circulation, but a supply mint also be obtained, nearly if not tally equal to the amount of specie in the country previous to the year 1797. That it then becomes a question, front what sources, and in how short a space of time, such a sum in gold is likely to be obtained. That it appears certain, that little is to be expected at present from South America ; and therefore it is to the Con iinent et Europe the country must chiefly look for supplies. That in deliberating on this most important subject, this Court assumes it to be an incontrovertible proposition, that every attempt to bring in and retain the precious metals, while the exchanges, are below par, must be unavailing. That then only can a country be said to be growing rich in gold and silver, when it receives them as /be balances of ex ported goods actually paid for. That although it must be obvious, that the returns from the Custom-House books are no sure criterion of the pro ductiveness of an export-trade, because adventurous persons often export produce and maunfactures for which they re ceive little or no return ; still 'this Court is not disposed to take an unfavourable view of the staid of our foreign com mence : it mot nevertheless be acknowledged, judging from • X `s "' ^ ~s ~ i : , f ' "119t1.i [PRICE ~BE.yi:iNPEN'cr; tin; exchanges, that whattyce the balance of trade may be, the balance of gaytnents is greatly against the country; and in the opinion of this `Court, there is not much eoconrage went to expect ;my material amelioration in the exchanes for the present; our would a sudden ithprovernent, to What ever extent, decide the question, as it is on a 'gradual and permanent rise only fliat fint reliance ought to be placed. That, with respect to the Continental finance operations already ;lidded to, this Court does not etinsiier their it'73n rions effects to be bour4ed by the investments which may have already been made for account of British subjects; but it is apprehended that-thwe operations, during their nuance, will contribute to keep the foreign exchanges in an unsettled state. That this Court cannot refrain frOm adverting to an opi nion, strongly insisted on by some, that the Bank has only to reduce its issues, to obtain a hscourable turn in the Ex changes, and a consequent influx of the precious metals : the Court conceives it to be its duty to declare, that it is unable todiscriver any so!id foundation for such n sentiment. That gold is not superabundant on the Continent is fittly ascertained ; and it follows that a new competitor going into the market for au enormous sum, most, by increasing the demand upon a limited supply, materially enhance the price, while the quantity would remain the - same. that even if the gold could be procured, the Mal could Duly pay for it with - its in,tes. That it is contended by those Who recommend a rednciion of the paper-currency, that it will . have the effect of towel— ing prices, and that foreigners will thereby he induced to take more of the produce and manufactures of the Country. That. the Coutt conceives this expectation to be founded in error, inasmuch as a low rate of exchange has always been considered most favourable to exports ; but that-even should a temporary effect be produced, it would probably be only a disadvantageous auticipation of the regular consumption, and result it) a serious re-action upon the trade of the coontri. That this Court.can confidently assert, that the Bank has never pursued its own advantage at the expellee of the public interest; and whenever Parliament in its wisdom'shall deco* it to be most conducive to the good of the country to take off the restriction, this Court will be prepared to meet the exi gency with every reasonable sacrifice; but to expect the Bank to issue gold at al. I7s. told. ps.r oz., however high the price in the market may be, would he to impose a heavy' loss up o n the corporation, without rendering any adequate benefit to the public. That this Court having thus deliberately expressed its sen timents, feels compelled to decline giving any precise answrt to the first question proposed by the Committee, deeply im pressed- as the , directors are, that the resumption of cash+ payments, with safety to the country, must depend upon air-. cumstances, which it is impossible for them to foresee, and over which they could exercise no essential controul. That in reply to the second question, this court is not aware of any legislative enactments which could at the pre sent moment accelerate that favourable alterrtion and per manent improvement in the foreign exchanges, essential, in the opinion of this Court, to the restoration of a metallic currency; but for reasons already assigned, it is deemed highly desirable,:that, prior to the removal of the restriction, the Government debt to the Bank should be gradually re duced to the extent of 10,000,0001. LONDON JOURNALS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. (British Press.l A Dutch Mail las arrived, with Papers from Brussels to the 15th instant. The wife of a Pity. skill►) at Frankfort. stabbed her husband in bed, and in►licted upon him seventeen wounds. The crime has made a great impression, and people assimilate it to that of Sand. The reasons for this opinion, however, are not noticed. The woman was probably mad. [Morning Herald.) it is among the advantages of the' peace that many English per s ons have obtained right no. tions of France and of Frenchmen. Before, every thing appeared not as it really existed, but in beau ideal. People saw France as in a picture, in which every thing disgnsthig and mean was sunk, and every thing grand and beautiful was embellished and enlarged. But when the reality was approached, the illusion vanished. This sues cebsive enchantment and disynchantment may be illustrated by the view of the city of Paris itself. Viewed in imagination, we behold in it the Louvre and the Tuilleries, but approached and examined, we observe, in addition, between those magnificent and contiguous edifices all that is most disgusting to every sense. It was thus that English visitors soon saw there was nothing in the great nation which should excite their envy, or rather, they were convinced, 'by their inexpe rience, that like the Athenian, they should thank Heaven for the country it had assigned them. (Morning Post.] CHARGE OF MURDER.—An architect of great talent and excellent character is on his way from Athens to this country, to take .his trial upon a charge of murder. The 'account of the transac• tion on which the charge is founded, and which ~ve have every reason .to suppose authentic, is as follows :—The accused obtained permission front his father, about three years ago, to travel. He went to Athens, with the view of adding to his professional excellencies,•and became acquainted with an English Gentleman who had a servant, a Maltese, of a sharp, penetrating discernment, but excessively morose and vindictive. This set... rant had exercised a controul over his master, which the accused could hot bear to witness, and endeavoured to repress. The most implacable enmity arose upon the part of 'the servant, front whom the accused had reason to apprehend the utmost violence. The young Geode:nun' prepared himself against any dangerous emergency, by carrying a brace of loaded pistols in his breast. .At Constantinople, the Maltese gave many proofs of his hostility, and on one occasion, which was fatal to hint, sent for the Architect, who was at a feast, and who, without knowing by whom he was called, left his wine with precipitation to at tend his visitor-. The moment he came into the outward apartment the Maltese seized him by the collar and made a minim"), front which the other expected something. dangerous. The Maltese dragged about the accused, who drew one of his pistols and shot hint through the heart. •No at* tempt at escape was made. The accused inune. diately went before the British Consul, and oe. mand.ed to be sent to this country to take his tri a l on any charge that might be instituted against him. He is a Gentleman of Area; Ipiat and humanity. t
