FOR VIE SUN. 'ON SHE PASTAND - PRESENT CIRCUMSTANCES OF THIS COUNTRY, WITH A VIEW TO THE RELIEF OF AGRICULTURE, MANUFACTURES, AND COMMERCE. .(Continued from our Paper of Yesterday.) For more•than two hundred and seventy years after . the'English money pound, represented by silver pennies only, was established by William I. no coin of a more precious metal than silver ap petirs to have' been coined at the Royal 'Mints, - excegthig, perhaps a small gold coin of 'Henry 111. Edward in . 1345, first coined gold flo rins, and ordered them to pass for Six shillings each ; also gOld' nobles to pass for six shillings and eight pence each., Henry VI. in 1423, coined gold royals to pass for ten shillings each ;. after wards, "both angels and nobles, topass for six shillings-and eight pence each. In 1494, Henry VII. coined sovereigns, to pass for one pound two shillings and sixpence each. Silver shillings not having yet been coined, these gold coins could only be valued by' the ancient money of account. So vereigns were afterwards coined by Henry VIII. to 'pass'fOr, one pound each, royals at eleven shii :lings and threepence, angels at seven shillings and sixpence, and nobles at six shillings and 'eight.pence each. In 1551, Edward VI. coined sovereigns to pass for one pound six shillings eacli; afterwards, at one pound ten shillings caah. Queen Elizabeth coined sovereigns to pass for the same sum ;.and afterwards, sovereigns to pass for One pound ten shillings each.\ The. guinea was first coined by - Charles the Ha, in 1671, to pasS for one poUnd each ; but in subsequent reigns they Were ordered to pass for various va lues, up•to one pound ten shillings . each. Like all former gold coins, according to the varying market-price of gold, measured by the standard Money of Computation, the pound, shilli ngs , an d pence, the cturcnt nominal value of the guinea afterwards declined down to one pound one shil;. ling, at which current value they remained. But in all these, and ,many other instances of gold .coins, the ancient pound, shillings, and pence, the money of computation, treasured the value, from time to time„ at which, the coins were ordered by Royal Authority to pass as current money; per forming, therefore; even of the gold coins them selves as mach the functions of measuring value, as of all commodities and services. If the money pound, as the measure of value or price, became, more a nominal measure, after the 480 silver.pence in cash ceased to contain twelve minces of silver, this is.no objection to the principl e . , When we compute the price, or money -value, of any commodity, we invariably roak'e the estimate by pounds, shillings, and pence, the money . of computation.' This is the first operation. Secondly, we pay 'the amount in the money wideli is current at the time accord ing to Its nominal value, as fixed by the Royal Prerogative,,as measured by the money of coni putatioo;—in such money, whether it be paper or gold, silver or copper, which being received as current money by one person, can be paid away, as the legal tender, at ,the same nominal value, to any other person.----We. stay nominal current value,. as although, for examik i the late silver coins• were. reduced by wear, the sixpences about 31 percent., 'the shillings...(4 per cent., and the half-crowns 10 per cent. below their weight, and their intrinsic value, when ast coined, 'they ne vertheless passed current, aanioney, at their full original. value„--These are.-t:wo operations. Whether. a baker receld payment for one half quartern and two quartern loaves, 1-Then bread was at a shilling per quarter° loaf, either in a half crown piece which was 10. per cent. less than its mint intrinsic value ; or hi two shil lings reduced 25 per cent. Be ono sixpeiwo-re.. duced 31 per cent. ;or it, a sixpences which were reduced by he ir great -,. 4nq 31 per ce the Baker was satislied.'w - itt4444r pa7cnent be cause he could ..pay the. sirlk"-Ficces away, at the time, at the ..saale nominal. value. And, although it was in 181.1 Shat the officers of imis Ma Esrv's Mint ascertainedby actual ex peri: ments upon portions o f the current silver in circula tion this diminished intrinsic the sarne.sil ver money 'continued for several. years afterwards to perform the. offices of internal exchanges in the circulation of commodities. Nor has the Baker,. since the substitution, of .the new silver coins, given a better or heavier quartern loaf for the money, although the new shilling has contained about 19 per cent., and the sixpence about 25 per cent. more intrinsic value, more sterling silver than the former .current shillings and sixpences. The pound, shillings, .and .pence, therefore, as the invariable money of computation or account, are as really useful and essential for measuring the price, or exchangeable values of commodities, as the current monies,.Whether composed of coins or Bank-dotes, are useful and necessary for 'pay ing such computed price in ready_ money, or for discharging the balance of accounts. - Neither floes the English measure the pound differ-in its character from the measure of value of almost every other country ; called -also the money of account ; and which. we conceive to be the invariable money of computation. Either from the livre of France for example, which dif fered from the coins, and measured their current value ; • and. which has, been, succeeded by the franc : or the dollar of account of Spain, which is of - a different value from the silver dollar : or the milrea of Portugal, which differs from the coins of the country : or the ruble of account of Itussia, which differs from ,the silver ruble or the florin of Holland, differing from their coins : or'. the pound Ylemish .of .ILamburg, &c. &C. All these. arc the actual rzfilt.tsti're3 of 'by which computations of price are made, and in which all accounts are. respectively kept :.them selves are always invariable, like the British pound, shillings, and pence, however variable the intrinsic value of the metal prices of the coins representing. ,them. ,The current coins are not themselves the measures of . val ue , b u t represent the measure of value, or the component parts.of that measure. The late Earl of LIVERPOOL in his celebrat ed work on. the Coins of : the realm, informs us, 44 From the accession of JAMES I. all the new 44 Gold Coins introduced .into circulation -were 46 also intended to represent this integer Or cc - - pound sterling, such as the. Unit, the Laurel, 44 and the Guinea; f or th e Guinea was origi " ginally rated in the, flint indenture at One " Pound sterling." Sir JAMES STUART said, 44 Money of account, 44 which I.shall here -call money, performs the " same office. with regard,to the value of things, "- that.degrees, minutes,, - seconds, &c. do with 64 regard to angles, or _scales do to geographi " cal maps or plans .of any .kind. In all . these 44 inventions there is certainly some denornina- Ge tiOn taken for .the unit. In angles, it is the 44 degree ; in geography, it is the mile or league.; 64 in plans, the foot, yard, or toise ; in. money ) " it is the pound, livre, florin, &c. &c." According to Dr. icELLY, IVlonies of •ac " count may be considered With respect to Coins, 44 'as NV - eight and Measures, with respect to 44 goods, or 'as ama.thematical scale with respect 64 to maps, lines, or other geometrical figures 6 4 Hence, tunnies of account are the measuresLol 46 value, both of merchandise, and of.the metah " themselves, Whether in coin or bullion, am 4 C these serve as an invariablg 'scale amidst al 46 fluctuations of price." A list of the Monies of account as fixed mea sures of value or price at more than.sixty diffe rent countries and places, will be found in .Dr•. Kk:LLY's: Cambia; also in Dr. REE3'S Cyc!ojnr din under the head " Money." We are thus particular, we fear fatiguing, n o t only to prove .the depreciation _of money - to have arisen chiefly from taocation, but for two other important reasons. In the .first place, it being really true in ,prac tice that the British measure of value, and of exchangeable value, Or price, the 'mone:y of com putation, is, the ancient pound, shillings, and pence ; that Coins or Bank Notes represent t-hat measure for facilitating payments in the inter— change of what men pos, , ess for what theydesire; , as it is intended by the expected_ new law fOr returning to cash payments, that the - exportation; and melting the Gold •Coin shall be freely per mitted, an improvement might be :made in our. Gold Coin,-by either a seignorage.or ahrassagei, in order to render their exportat;on less profita-• ble to only comparatively a few individuals, the event •cf a fall in exchanges with Foreign• Countries : and to -encourage, in such case, the ' greater.exportation.of British Manufactures. [To be cc/Waned.] SEvtilptNeE. having for thirteen years followed, his trade Ns a printer and .publisher,, and never ba.vitq l in ell that period been subjected to any prosecution for libel whatever, he had in a short space of time been twice subje,eted, to prosecution, at the snit of C.,.a.t Soci'ety. After having escaped the vigi . lance of the AttorneyGetzeral, and the Secretary of state, the only persons by law -intrusted with..:the exercise'. of the. power of officially prosecuting such efrences, he had at length fallen into. the i clutches o f th a t Association. le Was ietficted for publishing a political libel in an obscurte,pe riodiczleitebiicatiou, which he had discontinued before the. commencement of the pi - ri ee:l6on. ft, was important to know .the circumstances 'eld er *Which this prosecution was instituted, ne he thought they afforded a clear exposition of the ptinciples by„whicit.the proceedings of that So- C ety were reguloftcl ; and yes convinced tthg[ if the A ttotney-Goa.eral had been a ware of the na ture OT'teh:ilertlenl'ir:case, he, would 'have pot a stop to the prc, , seeution. After a true bill had /leer found, the Petitioner eras arrested and 1j4,4i to - ba:l. This part of the conduct of the Society is , as grounded ono Acts of Parliament recently. passed, Acts, thepassing of which he declared to be art invasion of the Constitution; Acts, all framed for diminishing . the liberties of the pecple, ; all enlarging th e ,p ower o f t h e Crown. Those Acts the. Society had placed in. front of theite.battle ; and by those Acts only could their conduct, be justified. On one of those Acts the Petitioner . was held to bail for his appearance, and also !for his subsequent good behaviour. lie stated that he had.sev e y•al interviews with one Mr. Murray, by whom terms were proposed, on his acceptance Of -which the prosecution would be dropped. Here he called upon the ;louse to attend, -and See whit were the terms on which his :Majesty's subjects were called on to contend against this • Society e what were,the threats it held ,out, and what the power it arrogated of accumulating upon them penalties, forfeitures, end expences, exceeding these attendant on a conviction. The terms propoied, to the Petitioner were, that he , should plead guilty, pay . all the expences of the prosecution--(ilear, hoar !)-- 7 r. - ,,ire certain -re quired information concerniog,the .author of the libel, and engage not to sell, any hooks c..r_puiiii 'cations which the should deed . o ffensive for .the. term of two , years.- e (ilear e hear !)--- Whet would be Said of the legalityof-such terrnsi Whether the epropesal 'brought the prosecutors ~ vithin the, pale of the .hew he .would not thea ... stop to mquire-; but when he saw them Arresting from his Majesty's .subjeets their trade, and -at tempting to enforce their propositions by threats and extortion in this manner, he could not hesi tate . to-charge them with conspiraey e and to pro 4:him them as 'conspirators against the liberties of the subject. Any . person, or any body of ersons acting as he had described, were act ing 'in violation of the Constitution, and- in &Luce of the law.
