THE LONDON JOURNALS. EXTRACTS FROM THE D ILY MORNING PAPERS, February 25, 1822. [THE TIMES.] As the House of Commons - appears likely to engage actively in economical reform, we trust that abuses connected with the Colonies will not be overlooked. If some active and indefatigable Member would take up the public frauds com mitted in our colonial possessions, much good would be done, and important checks imposed for the future on those who have it in their power to commit fraud, as well as on those whose duty it is to expose the crime when committed. We have heard, and can scarcely believe it true, that there is a case, and that within a very few years, of an Ordnance Storekeeper, on 10s. a .day, having realized a large fortune, without any other visible means than his pay—that although his property was sequestrated for an amount little short of 100,0001., and his inability to ad duce any accounts or vouchers established, yet his quietus has been obtained, and he now lives in a style of splendid magnificence in the house of a deceased Nobleman. How this has *been effected is best known to the parties ; but W 2 trust there is high colouring in the statement : if there bv not, no feelings of peronal considera tion-should prevent independent Members from exposing the delinquents. The Roman Catholics of Roscommon and of Clare have presented addresses of congratulation to Lord Wellesley, on his assuming the Govern ment of Ireland. The Clare address, of which we must guess at the purport from the answer to it, appears to have been one of "expectation," as well as " congratulation." His Excellency reminds the parties who presented it, that his duty as Lord -Lieutenant is to administer, not to alter, the law. Some gentle hint about Catholic emancipation had formed, therefore, we presume an item in the list of compliments. As for the Roscommon composition, it was remarkable for another incident attending its delivery, being read to his Excellency by the renowned O'Connor Don. We are almost in despair on the subject of this potentate. We have no glossary of the Erse, nor Court Calendar, nor Peerage of the native courts of Ireland, of a date more ancient than that of Earl Strongbow's expedition. Let the Don and the O'Connor change -places, and it will make all matters easy.—(Aid.) [MORNING POST.] The :Ministers' plan for reducing the Five per Cents. continues to be approved by those most interested in the business ; and, indeed, no seri ous obstacle to the project seems to be antici pated in any quarter. It is obviously founded on the plan of 111 r. Pelham, in the year 1749, of which the following is a brief sketch : The amount of the 4 per Cont. Stock then to be reduced was 57,000,000. It was proposed that all holders consenting to the reduction of interest should continue to receive 4 per cent. until the 25th of December, 1750, and 31 per cent. until the 25th December, 1757, when the full reduction of 3 per cent. would be completed. Those who assented to the plan were re quired to subscribe their names previous to the 28th February, 1749, with an extension of the period for cases of foreign resi. dente, and other circumstances.. This plan was so successful that it only became necessary to make a loan of about 2,000,000 to pay off all those who did not signify their consent to the reduction of interest. [MORNING CIIRONICLE.] The silly attempts at smartness of Mr.troker, on Friday night, the unsuitable mixture of figures of arithmetic with figures of rhetoric, which ren dered his intellectual confusion only the more conspietious, are eagerly caught at by the ad herents of \linisters, as a signal triumph on their part. By the confession of all competent per sons, the public accounts are made out in such a confused manner, that it is utterly impossible for any one to know exactly the real state of the nation's affairs. But there is not merely confu sion in the case,—an account is given in one day differing materially from one relating to the same subject given in on a former day. It will appear, no doubt, that Mr. Croker has contributed his share to the production of this confusion ; for the Navy Estimates are. particularly liable to the charge to which we have alluded. The Hon. Secretary, however, is the first to take advantage of the blunders of his own department. Mr. Hume had stated, that the sums expended in building and repairs of ships since the war were most enormous—not less than 17,000,0001. — On this Mr. Croker remarks—" The Ho nourable Member must have mistaken stone for wood, land for water, store houses for ships, and the building of the works at Sheer ness for the fitting out a fleet of first rates. He would give to Mr. Hume all that he asked for, if he should prove that 7,000,0001. instead of 17,000,0001. had been expended since 1817 in the building and repairing of ships." Mr. Ilunie is not a man to make a statement of this sort with the levity with which the Hon. Secretary can controvert it, and he was therefore not at all affected, by this gasconade, but,entered into such an enumeration of the particulars as the accounts laid before the House enabled him to make, and repeated that the whole charge including repairs was 17,000,7021. and that if the Hon. Secretary was not. satisfied of the fact, he would this day move for all the Estimates, and he (Mr. C.) should have an opportunity of laying them on the .Table. We shall soon see, therefore, to whom the charge of inaccuracy attaches ; and in the mean time we may. remind the Treasury Gentlemen of - Lord Londonderry's favourite adage, not to halloo before they are out of the wood. They do not surely expect that Mr. Hume should be responsible for the blunders of Mr: Croker and those under him. [BRITISH PRESS.] The plan proposed by the Ministers for pay ing off the five per cent. annuities has produced a very favourable influence upon the state of other stocks. The four per cents. rose on Satur day.to 981, and the three per cent. consols to 79k. All the foreign stocks likewise experienced the beneficial effects of the new arrangement. — The decrease of interest derivable from the English funds i i s already beginning to impel Bri tish capital into the foreign markets ; we may thende perceive that the new arrangement is not likely to be attended with at least one of the ad vantages anticipated, by the Ministers —namely, that of facilitating to ' , the distressed agriculturists the procurement of literacy at a reduced rate of interest. The French five per cents. had in Paris, on Thursday, risen to 90 francs, 70 cents. and in this market were negociated on Saturday , at so high a rate as 91 fr. 50 c. Every other spe cies of foreign stock has advanced,and even Span ish bonds have experienced an improvement.— We have since our last again examined the plan of the Ministers, and perceive that the equiva lent offered in exchange for the five per cents. will 'be invested in the new stock, not at the market price of the four per cents., but at the nominal amount of the stock offered. Thus for one hundred millions of the five per cents. will be given one hundred and five millions of the new four per cents. ; the bonus therefore will be five per cent., and the increase,in the capital of the, debt will amount to about seven millions, paying an annual interest of 280,0001. This is a very considerable enlargement of the national debt, but it is of little importance compared with the progressive increase in the amount of debt payable by the public, which since the return of peace has been effected, apparently without much general attention, by the great rise in the funds. For this rise the Ministers are continually labouring, and when it occurs it is made a matter of load exultation, as if it were an eve?t from which they or the country were to derive , very considerable advantage. We are fully aware of the trite arguments usually urged by the advocates fur this rise ;—that it reduces the.value of money, and that in proportion as this is accom plished, capital is withdrawn from the funds to be employed in commerce, manufactures, agriculture, and the general promotion of productive industry; but this supposition, however plausible in theory, is not supported by the true principles of political science, or the results of our ordinary experience. It is not the difference of one or two per cent. in the returns of capital that will induce the capitalists to employ their money in trade or agriculture. Our commercial and landed interests present at this , moment very little to tempt specu lation ; they shew no prospect of large gains to tempt avarice, nor of sudden profits to counter balance certain risks. The employment of capi tal in agriculture just now would probably be attended with loss, and if three per cent. were re turned by commerce, our merchants and manu facturers would have but little cause to complain. [NEW TIMES.] In declining to offer any opinion of our own on the plan for reducing the Five per Cents., we were actuated by a confident expectation, that a few hours would furnish us with the best cri terion of its excellence, in the general approba tion of the Monied Interest.—This expectation has not been disappointed. Had the factious anticipations of The Times and Chronicle pos sessed the least weight, the impression on the Funds would have been instantaneous and deci sive ; and the fall, not merely of the Fives, but of all the other Stocks, would have been such as to place beyond a doubt the failure of the plan. But the fact was the very re verse. The Fives, which previously to the no tification were at 101 : f, have since fallen to 103-,T-, between which price and 101, (which at the present price of the Four per Cents. is their value by the proposed plan) they have since been fluctuating. Consols meanwhile, far from declining, have improved about 1. per Cent., the market closing on Saturday at 791 for the pre sent Account, and at 791 for the April Account. We shall not pretend to anticipate the statements which the Chancellor of the Exchequer will have to make this evening in the Committee; but perhaps it may not be amiss to notice shortly the principles on which such reductions ought to stand, and the precedents by which they are sanctioned. The great leading principle we take to be that stated by the celebrated and patriotic Sir John Barnard in 1749. He says, " when ever money can be borrowed, cheaper than the interest paid by the public, it is incumbent on the Parliament, (with great deference be it spoken) and what the nation have a right to expect from them, to make use of the op portunity, in order to give the people in general all the ease in their power."—The only question of fact, then, to be ascertained in the present instance is, whether money can be borrowed cheaper than the'interest paid by the public to the holders of 5 per Cent. Stock; or, in other words, whether 5 per Cent. be the fair market-rate of interest in this country, at thepresent time, independently of legal enactment. If it be, we admit that an attempt on the part of Government to convert a 5 per Cent. Stock into a 4 per Cent. one, on the terms proposed, must at best be nugatory. But we conceive few things are clearer than that the fair market rate of in terest in England, at present, is little, if at all, above 4 per Cent.' Interest is the price paid for the use of monied capital, as rent is the price paid for the use of landed capital; and, in both cases, that price must be regulated by the pro portion of the supply to the demand. It would be idle to argue on the self-evident proofs of an abundant supply. The price of Stocks for some time past, though under various circumstances of an adverse nature, has alone sufficed to show that abundance of money may be commanded for investment at even a lower rate than Four per Cent. ; it follows, therefore, that the Govern ment is doing no more than bare justice between the fundholder and the people, in proposing the present reduction.—The measure has been at tacked, as most Government measures are, upon two opposite grounds, and, what is by no means uncommon, the opposite objections have pro ceeded from the same source. The Fundholder has been called upon to resist its as an attempt to defraud him of a part of his income, to the benefit of the people; and the people have been called upon to reprobate it as loading them, for the benefit of the Fundholder, with an addition to the capital of the debt. • FROM THE LONDON GAZETTE, FEB. 23.
