Mr. GRFNFELL having moved and obtained, that the 4Gth and 48th Acts of his Majesty should be entered as r e ad, threw himself on the, indulgence of the House, convinced that the importance of the subject which he was about to discuss, would make amends for the imperfect manner in which he should treat it. He w ished to draw the atten tion of Parliament to certain transactions carried on between the Government and the Bank of Eng land, in which the public had a direct interest. — With the private concerns of the Bank, he was ready to acknowlege, The House 'had nothing fo do but in transactions in which the, public might be considered as one party, and the Batik- the other, he thought Parliament was not only Competent to interfere, 'hut that it was its duty to cuter into call proper investigations. —These Were tratisActions of this nature. The first branch arose out of the monies placed in the hands of the Bank of Vhogland, acting as the, Bankers of fliovernment. *: he House were aware of the existing practice by which a. considerable portion of the revenue was placed in the Bank of Engiatid on account of several public services., to be afterwards drawn out of the Bank on the drafts of the persons at the head of the departments to which those services were attached. This did I not go beyond the nature of a simple banking con ecru. The Bank ,vas neither exposed to- any ' greater risk than in its transactions with ittdici clrcals, nor subjected to any ,olditional expellee in providing clerks or buildings for transacting this business„ The Papers he should inOve for on this subject - would be - ,a . coutinnation of those, eight in number, produced by the Bank in 1807 to a .Select Committee of this House. They would exhibit the different balances in the hands of the Bank under different circumstances, and . would enable the House to arrive at a correct statement of the whole of the politic money lying totally unproductive to the public, bat yielding such profits to the Bank, that it gained annually a sum equal to the interest on the whole capital of the sum vested From the Papers produced at the tittle to which he had alluded, it appeared that, in 1807, the amount of,the balance in the hands of the Bank rose to the immense shim of eleven mil lions sterling,. which produced a, yearly interest of upwards of 500,0001. He thought himself en titled to consider this as a bum paid by the public to :the Bank merely for. the trouble Of keeping,the money placed in its bands. Tlle only light thrown ou the state of, this balance at a later period, was contained in a Letter of the Chatnellor of the Exchequer, written to the Bank, in whiCh he mentioned, that in 1808, the balance was unnitoinished. • Since that time it must'have increased in proportion to the aligmen tation of our expenditure. ate of the prilicipal objects of his motion would be to show what al teration had taken place in the amount of the ba lances since 1807,- and what it was at present, in order that truth., and facti'should lead the'Llonse to an accurate judgment on this subject. In ISOG,. the Bank were pleased to advance, as it was styled, a loan of three millions during the war, on condition that the public should pay an interest of three per cent. 'lbis Loan expired ir, the month of DeceMber last, and the interest due, opon it amounted to 720,0001. In 1808, another Loan to the same amount had been procured, and in Dec. last the Chancellor of the Exchetpier had stated, that the. Bank agreed to prolong that Loan without interest until the sth of April next. He did not consider that transaction either as an advance or an accommodation, but merely as Q. liberty given to the Public to use its own money, If six mil lions had thus been drawn out of the Bank, five still remained, and with this stipulation, that the 'Public were to pay 90,000/. per ann. for the li berty of using three millions of its own money,— and' in all, a sum of not less than 720,0001. .-Sup posing the balOce to have heen, as in 1807, \ll . the Bank now • lent the country three, and retained eight, the annual 'interest Of which was 400,0001. This was an object on which he invited and urged -his Right Hon. Friend (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) to consider, wile : titer. in die eircumAtances and difficulties in which the nation was placed, it would'he ju , t that the pahlie should pay so vast a sunk for a sacrifice ou the part of the Bank, so circumscribed in its ope ratioli. The next branch to which he sholild call the attention of the Muse would be the commis- Hsio n granted to the Bank on the account 'tit the ~Natinual Debt. In 1786, Mr. Pitt fixed the rate o f t h e Cooriaissioo at 4301. on every million, and there had liven no alteration tilt 1868,. a period of 22 yo-ars. During that time the debt of the coun- [PRICE SIXPENCE-TIALFPEN7ST; try having become enormous, the produce of the commission had proportionably, increased. lc was consequently agreedi it should be reduced one-third, or from 4501. to 3001. per No man knew better.than he the satisfactory manner in which this service was performed. lie acknowledged that the Bank were exposed by it to some losses, and towelled to iNeur consider able expence in buildings and an establishment of cl'rks to transact the business, but when he looked at the papers, and saw the amount of the remuneration which had been paid Jast year, 267,0001. be thought the. public had a right to look at the Bank for a considerable deduction.---- The Bank of the United States paid the dividend Without making any 'charge to the state. He was far from comparing it in importance with. ours, but it must be recollected, that on one side there was 267,000 pounds, and on the other nothing. He should also move for pers to shew what increase had occurred in the issues on the Bank in consequence of the Re striction Act of 1797. The issues of Bank Paper had not amounted to less_annnally than 16 or 18 Millions, and the profits on them to between 7 and 800,0001. When it. was recollected that the Bank owed these profits to an Act of the Legis lature, he thought the public entitled to be treat ed with the utmost liberality. Although he anti cipated" the objections •which his Right Holt. Friend (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) would probably make to his motion, he was sure that it it were possible to. look into his heart, he would be found conscious of its propi:iety. After expressing the high respect which be entertained for the Banl of England, and the persons at its head, he alluded to the immense profits which they had made during the last - 18 years. They had been able to divide a sum of' seven or eight millions, besides their or dinary dividend of seven per cent. These gains were chiefly occasioned .by the system of restric tions, art d the profits gained by the B Ink on transacting the business of the Government, and the public had a right to be admitted a larger. participation in them, or at least to expect that the business transacted by the Bank, would be done at less "expence. He concluded by moving for an account-of the balances in cash in the hands of the Bank on the Ist and 15th of every month, from the Ist of -14'ebruary, 1807, to April 1, 1815, resulting front. the payments of• the Customs mid till other branches of public revenue, and stating the average balance of cash in each ycktr,; . . The motion having been ,seconded by Mr. PoNSONBY, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER conceived . that the lion. Gentleman had-made his motion On thii subject touch earlier than lie needed to have done. There ;vould'be titne enough, previous to the expiration of the Act, for the House to enter into the consideration which the lion. Gentleman had pi oposed. Not three mouths ago, the Bank bad advanced 3,000,0001 to Government, upon the faith that no alteration should he made in the balances left in their hands; and the House could not, with any propriety or justice, open a bar gain which they had' so lately approved. , The Hon. Gentleman had thrown a false colouring on the balances—they arose from: a great ,variety of transactions ; and as to that part which related to the consolidated fund, the House could not in terfere with it, without violating the faith of 'pub lic credit. Very considerable sums were lodged in..the Bank to answer the purposes of Govern ment, and the profit made by the Bank was not the point for consideration. Those balances arose under several Acts of Parliament, over which the House had no controul.• The Hon. Gentleman had referred to another advance made by the Bank, to the amount of three millions, in the year 1808, but as the period was-afterwards ex tended without any interest, the public bad been gainers in that transaction. It might be material to consider whether it would not be possible in future to reduce the balance in the hands of the Bank, but the House would have sfifficient opportunity to investigate ghat point be fore the next Session of Parliament. Consider ing, Vierefore, that the motion of the Hon. Gen tleman %VHS premature, he should beg leave to move-the previous question. • Mr. BANKES thought it was a matter of indiffer ence whether the information mover! for should be laid immediately' before the House or no, pro vided it should be produced in time to give an opportunity for its fullest consideration. The public had received an injury, and, had not enjoy ed that particification in the profits derived by the Corporation of the Bank, which it had a right to expect. The only specific obligation to which the Chancellor of the Exchequer had bOund the public was, that the business should he carried on in the . sante manner, and that none of those balances •should be withdrawn. But did he think the House was also bound •not to Suggest any economical mode of lessening those balances i If they could be reduced from eleven to seven or eight millions, would he consider • such a reduction as a breach of faith ? And did' he conceive himself engaged to keep the same, or nearly the same amount of balance.? Due eco - nom y on the part of the country, he was con vinced, had not been observed, and he did not think that the • bargains of 1807 and 1808 'had been as favourable as they ought to have been. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER wished distinctly to explain, that we were not at liberty, under the present system, to withdraw public ba lances from the Bank. He was willing to lidop any regulation', in order by every means to lessen, the amount of issues of every department of the public service ; but the motion wholly reterret to the Consaildpted Fund, over winch the house had no controul.
