LONDON,

WEDNESDAY. FEBRUARY 3, 1819.

List evening, in the House of Lords, the Earl of
Ltvearont.'s motion for the appointment of a Se-
cret Committee to inquire tido the affairs of the
Bank, and other matters connected with the Cur-
rency of the Country, was carried without opposi-
tion, almost without comment. The Committee
will consist of thirteen Lords.

In the House of Commons a highly animated and
important debate arose on Mr. TI ERN ET's promised
motion on the same subject. The motion was for a
Committee to inquire into the effects produced on the
exchanges with foreign countries and the circulating
med. by the restriction 011 Payments in Cash by
the Bank; and to report whether any and what
reasons exipt for continuing the same beyond the
period now fixed by law for its ter tttttt ation.
I o ►his the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
proposed an amendment for a Com-nittee of Secre•y
on the state of the Bank of England, with refer.
roc, to the expediency of the resumption of Cash
Payments at the period fixed by law, and into
such other matters as are connected therewith.
On a division the numbers were, Hitt In support of
the otiginal motion; 377 against it—majority 109
in favour of Ministers. The Amendment was then
carried without a division, and it was agreed that
ti.e Committee should he • Committee of Secresy,
to be appointed by ballot.

The Paris Papers of the 30th last have arrived.
The annual Report of the Bank of France,
made by M. LAVITTE. the Provisional Governor,
in the moue of the Council-General of the Rank,
is published in a Supplement to the hinuiteur.—
Thin document, which is of considerable length,
after detailing the operations of the Batik in the
t,vo half years of 1818, proceeds to justify the Bank
for its refusal to d►scount Bills of longer date than
45 days, upon the pound that it was only a tem-
porary measure adopted from necessity, and shut it
shortly after resumed its discounts at 60. and since
at 90 days, and that although this was done in a
moment of danger, to save the credit of the
Bank. the Council• General has never refused ally

support required from it, either for commerce or the
Royal 't'reasury--as evidence of which, the amount
of bills presented fur discount never at any time
equalled the means prepared to meet them—from.
the 15th Pctober to the 6th November the sums
discounted were forty millions, and more lately, in
a single week, sixty millions. This was the only
charge brought against the Bank, and the Council.
General relied upon this stitemriit as their justifies.
tion. The Report thus concludes 'r-" This crisis now
removed, has left us in circumstances suflicieutl
favourable to divest us of any fears for its returo.
The wrists to foreigners have craved. The ope.
ratioris, which had for their object the extraction of
