PIIII“c-OFFICE, MARLBOROUGH-STREET.— Yesterday Thomas Sutton, Coachman to a Lady at the West.end of the Town, was charged with run. ring over a. woman and a child in the Haymarket the preceding evening, by which they were both severely itirt. Two witnesses proved that there tad been some violent altercation between the Pri soner and another coachman for some time previous to the time of the accident taking place ; that he gave over the wordy contest and drove off; that the populace hooted and hissed after him ; and that while he turned round to see who was hissing, the woman and child crossed over before his horses and met with the accident. A Surgeon attended, and described technically the situation of the patients, but would not take upon himself the responsibility cf pronouncing the woman but of danger. .A good deal of intercession was made for the man, and se curity was offered for the payment of any damages. Ihe Magistrate, however, observed, that when one person had done an action that might possibly affect the life of another, there could be no value set upon a life, and therefore all idea of charafter or cf money was out of the question. The Prisoner was then recommitted, until the woman shall be declared out of danger. Does ilot every a6lual drawer imply a remitter ?

During the first day's journey in company with the Deputies, couriers were continually coming up with dispatches, which they pressed these gentle men t , read, giving Our, at the same time, that.the Austrians had entered France, and were laying the whole country waste with fire and sword. The Deputies, having put on the appearance (for it was evident to the - persons in the carriage, where two of them were, that it was only an appearance), of reading these dispaches, ordered the carriage to halt, and then announced to the populace, that forty thou. sand Anstrians had invaded - the country, which was reduced to the utmost distress ; that all the towns, even Varennes itself, was already reduced to ashes ; that the inhabitants, without distinftion of age or sex, were put to the sword: and that the same ca lamities would unquestionably take pLce wherever the Austrians should penetrate. These discourses of the Deputies heightened ten fold the rage of the multitude, goaded already al most to madness by the conduCt of their leaders. Yet the monstrous absurdity of such reports, which carried with them their own disproval, might have been expeCted lather to open the eyes of these de luded wretches. The,effeets they produced, furnish a striking proof of the melancholy blindness and infatuation of men, when abandoned by Providence to the fury of their own passions. Dumas, one of the Deputies, had been a 114,1j0r- General in the service of the unhappy Prince, of whom he was now a principal tormentor. By his insinuating smiles, and studied familiarity of dis. course and behaviour, to the crowd around the car riage, whom he treated with the most ma7ked at_ tention and respel, leaning on the shoulders of the private National Guards, talking in their ear, not as their chief, but as their companion ; calling them, at every word, friends, comrades, &c. &c. By these and other arts, this Dumas sheaved sufficiently that the ignorant multitude aged only in conformity to the instigations of their direCtors. At the inn where the Royal Family were to sleep, after leaving Chalons, the Deputies' took care to secure for themselves all the best apartments. To the King was allotted a chamber, where the servants of those gentlemen would have considered them selves to be badly accommodated : but the virtues of this excellent Prince made him support every in dignity with a composure and resignation which extorted the admiration of even his bitterest enemies. Far from complaining of his treatment in this inn, where the bed was too short and too narrow for him to stretch his wearied limbs on it, his Majesty, with his own hands, tied his handkerchief about his head,. and sat down on a wooden-bottomed chair, which stood by the head of the bed, and desired one of the ga rdes du-cop-pi to fetch another of the same kind to support his feet. Perceiving their anguish at the sight of their be. loved master reduced to such misery, he, with his ti,ual condescension, said, " Oh! never think of me. I am well enough here: How many persons would think themselves happy to be so well provided for Such, indeed, was the constant behaviour of the Royal Family on these trying occasions, that the Deputies of the Assembly themselves, men sele6led, certainly with no friendly view, but for the purpose cf carrying back their SDvereign to his prison in the capital, were so affeted by the genuine dignity of their rondua, that, with all their art, they could not conceal their admiration and respect. The gravity of discourse, the correaness of be. haviour, which appeared in the family, had such an effe& on these Deputies, that, after the first day's journey, they were utterly unable to maintain the airs of insolence and effrontery With which they first presented themselves at the carriage. When out of the coach, the Duputies could not refrain, in spite of themselves, from giving proofs, by their language and gestures, of the most profound respeel for the whole Family. They seldom ven tured to look their master in the face ; and evident ly wished earnestly to withdraw from his eye and oblervatlon% They seemed to feel most pungently :ht vast distance between themselves and him.

EXTRACT FROM MINUTES OF EVIDENCE Taken before the Committce appointed to inquire into the State of 1 reland, as to its Circulating Paper ; its Specieand Current Coin; and the Exchange between that part of the United Kingdom awl Great Britain The Right Hon. 101-IN FOSTER, in the Chair. (Continufd from cur Paper of Yesterday.) Do you think there can be any increase made in the exchange by the conduit of persons who deal in remittances ?—I believe not to any amount ; I con sider the exchange between England and Ireland in a threefold view. First, as it has reference to the balance of trade between Ireland and all the world; she having no other exchange but. through England, I am persuaded that the balance of trade is consi derably in favour of Ireland ; and that if there were no other demands on Ireland, than what arose for commercial purposes, the exchange must be in fa_ your of Ireland : the next point of view in which I consider the exchange, is with reference to the sum of money that is necessary to be remitted to England for the payment of the interest of that part of the National Debt of Ireland which is payable in London ; what the exalt amount of this is, and whether it would be sufficient to countera& the ba lance of the Trade of Ireland, is a question I have not the means of answering : the third point of view, is, as it refers to the large sums of money re mitted to the Nobility and Gentry of Ireland resid ing in Eng)ard ; this I have understood , to amount to 2,000,0001. ; what the general balance is, I do not know, but if it amount; to any thing like this sum, or half this sum, it would fully account, in my opinion, for the high rate of exchange ; and with respect to the remittance of this money, I conceive the high exchange not to be the disease, but rather a symptom, and not an unfavourable one to Ireland, inasmuch as this high exchange, as far as it operates as a tendency to keep the money in Ireland ; sup. pose the money to be remitted to absentees to amount to z,000,0001. and that the exchange is to per cent. above par, I conceive it certainly keeps zoo,oool. in Ireland, which I think is so far a be nefit to the Country. With respeet to the high ex change as it operates on the Commerce of Ireland, I am persuaded that may be safely left to the Mer chants and Traders of both Kingdoms, and that, if they were consulted, they would give the same an swer that the Merchants in France gave to Mons. Colbert, when he asked them, " If Government could do any thing to serve them ?" their answer was, " The greatest favour they could do us, is to let us alone." With resped to the second cause of the high exchange, as it relates to the interest to be paid in England, that I think is a pure and un mixed evil towards Ireland. How do you account for the payment of the In. terest due for the Irish National Debt producing the same effea as 'remittances to absentees, seeing that one is sending money from Ireland to England, and the other merely detaining a part of the cur rent 'loan ?—I conceive it to stand on the same ground, and that both are to be remitted from Ire land to England ; if there is any new loan from which the interest of the old loan is to be deduaed, that would be a detaining the interest, but I con ceive, that while that pratlice goes on, it tends very much to the detriment of Ireland, insomuch as it creates a constant• annual drain, after the money which has been borrowed has been spent. Was there any restriaion on issuing specie in France during Mons. Colbert's Administration, when he received the answer mentioned by you ? I :understood there never was any Bank in Paris, or currency of paper, attempted before Mr. Law's time. After Banks have been instituted in a Country, and have been restrided by law in their issue of specie, do you consider all legislative interference with their proceedings to be dangerous or improper ? —I never knew or have heard of any such restric tion prior to 1797 ; I am very far from thinking that the interference of the Legislature must be im. proper, when occasions call for such interference. 13 it not the praetice of the Bank of England to limit its advances on Bills discounted to individuals below the amount applied for ?—Very frequently. Do you conceive that if the Bank of England, or any Public Bank in any other Country, granted discounts without limitation, even for all sate Bills, they might not incur a risk of increasing the cur rency of that Country beyond the proper quanti— ty ?—That has been always my opinion during the time of restriction. What do you conceive would be the efFea of an excess of paper currency, so produced, upon the ex. change between that Country and Foreign Coun. tries ?—I am not aware of any; but upon further consideration of the question, I might alter my opinion. Would not such an excess in currency produce a rise in goods in their nominal price ?—I think it most probably would. Would not that rise prevent the exportation, with out some compensation to the Country where they were pur - chased ?—The rise in the market price of any goods, I should conceive, has that natural ten dency as far as it operates ; and it is upon that ground, that I conceive, the high rate of Exchange with Ireland operates in the nature of a bounty on exports from Ireland. Is it not probable that that compensation would be found in an increased rate of exchange against the Country from whence the goods were export ed ?—I believe, that Ireland, exporting their goods under the high exchange, would very soon raise the price of their goods; otherwise, the Foreigners would have the goods cheaper; and in that case it would most probably increase the exports. Is not the exchange of every Country regulated by the price which the remitters of bills on that Country, payable in the current circulating medium of it, are willing to give to the drawers of them ? —I. conceive the exchange between Countries to be regulated by the greater or less amount to be drawn f or or remitted, • —There can be no drawer unless a remitter is found to take his bill ; but we may suppose the case of drawers offering their bills to a very considerable 'amount when there are few remitters, in which case the business must either remain undone, or the offer of higher terms may produce remitters. Will not the price which the actual remitters of bills consent to give to the drawers, depend on the quantity of goods which it is known by each party that the bill will purchase in the Counttay on which the bill is drawn ?—I think they do not carry their views so far; if there are more drawers than re. mitters, the remitters will take the advantage, and vice versa. Although the drawers and remitters should not themselves advert 'to the price of goods in the Coun. - try on which the bills are drawn, will not, never. theless, the merchant in one county, in England for example, in calculating whether or not he should become a purchaser and an exporter, of goods in Ireland; found his calculation in part on the current rate of exchange ; arid having so purchased them and exported them, will he not be under the neces. sit) of remitting bills in payment ?—i should con ceive, every prudent merchant, either in purchasing goods to export, or in ordering goods to be import. ed, will advert to the prices of goods, to the ex change, to the charges attending the export and im port, and to all other circumstances which can affect his interest. Does not the rate of exchange, at the present time, determine the English merchant to import Irish goods, inasmuch as there would he no profit on the importation if there were not an advantage in the exchange ?—lt may or may not ; but he would take the rate of exchange into consideration, together with the other circumstances above.rneo tinned. Is not then the existing rate of exchange - a cause of the present exports from Ireland ?—ltomay or may not, according to circumstances : the high rate of exchange, as far as it operates, has a tendency to prevent importation ; both which consequences_ of the present high exchange operates in both instances in favour of Ireland. Do you conceive that the balance of trade and balance of remittances invariably govern the rate of exchange ?—I conceive they naturally do. • The whole balance of account between the two I'kingdoms, previous to the restriction, never having induced a variation in exchange to the present ex tent, during a course of 70 -years, has the balance of account increased so greatly within the last five years as to justify a variation in exchange to the amount of to per cent. above par ?—I conceive that it necessarily has done so, because the fad of the exchange is so ; I am confirmed in my opinion that the balance of the Commerce of Ireland was consi. derably in favour of Ireland before the restriction, • , for, if it were not so, I should be wholly unable to account for the exchange remaining nearly at par, when I take into consideration, that the remittances to absentees have always been very considerable, and if there had been nothing to counteract the ex- change, with respect to such remittances, it could not possibly have remained so; I believe, there are now circumstances, and have been for some time since the restriction, that materially tend to increase the general balance due from Ireland ; the remit. tances to absentees of all denominations, I believe, are necessarily much more considerable than they were, which may partly be accounted for from the fears of Invasion in Ireland, from the late Rebel lions, and other circumstances, which tend to shew rather an unsettled state ; and it has fallen within my own knowledge, that families, particularly the females and children, have removed to England, and must be supported there; besides what I men tioned before of the necessity for remittances to pay the interest of the debt, I am convinced the balance of trade has continued in favour of Ireland since the restridion. If in point of fad it should appear, that since the restriction the remittances to Ireland for loans have considerably exceeded the remittances to Ireland for payment of interest of debt, is not tge increase of remittances for absentees the sole cause to which the increased balance of account between the two countries is attrihutable ?—I conceive the exchange to be influenced only by the general balance of all accounts ; and that the increased amount of remit.; tances to the absentees might very probably account for the present high rate of exchange, as making a part of the general account. You have said, that the high exchange, supposing at so per cent. occasions a saving of zoo,oool. a year to Ireland, on the remittances from Ireland on account of absentees ; supposing the amount of those remittances to be z,000,0001. how do you conceive that high exchange to operate either for the benefit or to the loss of Ireland, in respect to the remit tances to be made to England for the interest of the Irish debt in England, supposing it to be 1,300,0001. annually conceive it to operate to the loss of Ireland to the amount of t,300,0001. because Ire land must remit so much English money, and must pay the high rate of exchange on such remittances, whereas the remittance to absentees is for account of Ireland, and instead of remitting 2,000,0001. so as that 2,000,0001. should be received in London, there is a deduction, in the first instance, of the exchange in Ireland, amounting to to per cent. above par, so that only t,Boo i oool. is received in England, instead of 2,000,0001. ; and the difference remains in Ireland. The loans from Great Britain to Ireland, annually made, answering for so far to diminish the neces. sary annual remittance from Ireland to England on account of the above interest an absentees, what do you conceive will be the fund for Ireland to sup ply their amount when those loans shall cease ? Supposing there to be no' loan of any one year, I should think the general balance would be in that year still further enhanced against Ireland, and that the exchange (all circumstances remaining the same) r=ight probably rise considerably higher. In short, the general balance to be paid or received, always regulates the exchange between England and land. -- __--- ....'.'.r. 'DEI2BY, MAY 30. C . 4" l "' TYlE .
