**Ste lathe excliangte, if thec.are ceusitlered 'port,
yoir Coninsittee find it ditli ntt to reaist on safe-
. waste. that a portion at lea.t Of the great felt which
the exchanges lately uttered most have resulted,
not from the state of • trade, but from a change in
the relative value of our doinestic currency. But
when this deduction is joined with that which your
'Committee have atatcd. reapentienc the chasmic in
the market price of gold, that infereucr appears to
'be &mous* ra teil.

fa consequence of the opinion which ;your Corn-
inittee entertain, that. in the present artificial con-
dition of Lie circulatiog medium of I Ins country, it
ninat important to watch the foreign exchanger
and the market price of geld, your Committee were
-desirous tot leant, whether the Directors Of the
Bank of &Islam' held the Heine opinion, and de.
rived front it a practical rule for the control of
their ciscalation ; and particularly whether, in the
coarse of the last year. the greet depression of the
-esellsanges. and the great rise in the price of gold,
had suggested to the Directors any suspicion of the
currency of the country being escesoive.
Mr. %/blustery. the late Governor of the Bank,
eta ed to the Committee, that in regulating the
general amount of the loans and discounts, he did
"sot advert to the eirchrdsteuee of the Exchanges;
it appearing npoa a reference to the amount of our
-.meths circulation, andlhe course of Erehanges
that they frequently have no connexion." He diet-
'wet& said, " Me *Pitmen 1.. I do slot know whether
it is that of the Bank, that stile nriount 'of our
*epee circulation has no referesice at elf to
the state of the Exchange." And nn a iuh-
sequent day, Mr.• Whitmore stated, that ss the
present unfavourable stereo( Exchange has no in-
Somme upon the amount of their issues, the Batik
baring acted precisely in the saraeway ad they did
before." He was likewise asked, Whether, or re-
gulating the amount of their circulation, the Bank
ever adverted to difference between the,market
and Mint price 'of gold 2 and having desired to have
time to consoler 'that querion. Mr. Whitmere,'On a
subsequent day. answered it in the following terms,
wheels suggested these formes. questioas:
"In taking into Consideration the moonset of your

- Mr. Peeve, new Governor of the Baek, agreed

Mr. Pearse.—" In considering this subject, *i

And Mr. Harman, ano'har Bank Director, ex-
pressed his opitsion in these terms—" 1 must very
materitilly alter my opinions, before I can suppose
that the exchanges will be iodise:aced by any midi.
llootinsis of our piper currency."
The.. gentlemen, at well as several of the surr-
ogate who appeared before the Committer, placed
math reliance. upon an argument which they drew
Irmo tio soot of correspondence in point of time,
observable between the swoon* of Vasil of Eug.
land setts and the state of the Haruhurgh exchange
during several years; and Mr. Pearse presented a
paper en this subject, which is insisted iu the Ap-
pendix. Your Committee would feel no distrust
to the general principles which they have stated. if
the discordance lota been greater; considering the
:Variety of circumstances which have a temporary
effect as exchange, and the uncerainty both of the
time and the degree in winch it may he influenced
by-any given quantity of piper. It rosy be added,
that tbe numerical amount of notes (supposing{ 11.
and M. notes to be excluded from the statement)
did not materially vary during the period of the
comparisoo; and that in the last year, when the
general exchanget with Europe have become much
more unfavourable, the notes of the Bank of Emg-
lithd, as well as those of the country hanks, have
been very considerably increased. Your Commit-
tee., however, on the whole, are not of opinion'
that a 'Marcial depression of the Exchanges hos
been manifestly to be traced in its amount and de-
gree to an augmentation of notes corresponding in
point of time. They conceives that the more mi-
nute sod ordinary fluctuations of exchange ore ge-
nerally rerrrrahle to the course of oar rommerce ;
that political 'wrote, operating upon the state of
trade, may omen have contributed as well to the
rise es to the fall of the exchange ; and in p.n.:l-
ento% that the lint remarkable depression of it
in the {,'ginning of Is,i9, is to be asertberl. as

The restoration of the excimage used tq be effected
Iva the clandestiue transmission of guinea', which
improved it for the moment by serving as a remit-
tance ; and. unquestion•Mly also its part, probably
much more extensively, by the reduciien of the
total quantity of the rein lining circulating medium,
'to which rednttion the Bank were led to contribute
by the caution which every drain of gold not isratiy
excited. Under the present system; the foriuer of
these remedies most he expected more and snore to
fail, the guineas in circulation being evn now ap-
parently so few is to form ito important remittance;
and the reduction of • paper seems therefore tiie
chief, if not the sole corrective, to be resorted to.
It is only after the Brink shall have for some time
resumed its came payments. that both out again
operate, sit they did au all farmer occasiuus inior

The Committee cannot refrain front expressing
it to be their opinlmi. after a very deliberate coast•
deration of this part of the subject, that it is a grent
practical error to 'oppose that the each iuges with
foreign countries. and the price of bullion, are out
it sble to be affected by the *mount of a paper cur-
rency, which is issued without the condition of
payment in specie at the will of the bolder. That
the ft:mintages will be In* ered, sod the prier of
bullion raised, by an .IPl*.llt of sncli paper to excess,
is not only established as * principle by the most
eminent authorities upon cotnrnerer and finance,
but its practical truth his been illustrated by the
history of :4:mist every state in modern times which
has used a paper firt-y:1c; ; and 411 all those cou-
nt's this principle hus finally been resorted to by
their statesmen as the best criterion to judge by,
whether such ctirrei.cv was or was not excessive.
In the instances which are moot fausiliar iu the
history of foreign rountrirs, the excess of paper has
been unallyaceompanied by another eirceins•auce.
which has so place in oar situation at present,
want of confidence in the sufficiency of those fuMls
liez which the parer hail-been lamed. Where
two eirceinstaacese excess and went of eosin-
deuce, are conjoined, they will co-operate and pro-
duce their effect much more re .idly thins when it
is the result of the excess only of a p of per..•
fectly good credit ; and in high cases, an of of
the same sort will be produced upon the foreigu
exchaoges, end upon the price of bullion. Tne
meet remarkable rumples of the former kiiid are
to be found in the history of the paper eon..in:ire of
the British Colonies in North Americas to tile earl,'
part of the last ceotnry. and in that qf the assignats
of the French Republic; to which the Coinusittee

markaide. from the mosey speculatiOnswf the Ans.

be found in the Appendix. The present state of
the currency of Portugal affords ales an nista:lce of
the same kind.

Examples of the *thee sort, in which the depre-
ciation was prodietwri by excess alone, may be ga-
thered from the experience of the United Kingdom
at different tim es.

lu Scotland. about the end of the Seven Years'
war, bauktiv was carried to a very great excess ;
and by a practice of inserting in their provnimory
mites en optional clause of listing at sight, or in
six mouths after sight, with interest, the convert
lay of such notes intoaisecie at the will o( the hold-
er was in effect suspended.- These notes accord-
ingly become dept., ceited in comparison with ape-
cie ; and while this abuse hated. the exchange be-
tween Loudon and Dumfries, for eximple, was
sometimes four per cent. tignisilt Dumfries, while
the exchange between London and C.eledc, which
is not thirty miles distant from Dumfries, iv is at
par. The Fedinhoorgli Bones, when env of their
paper we. brought in to lie exchanged for WU. on
Loudon, were accustomed to extend or contract
the date of the tells they gave, iiccorilieg to the
state of the exchange ; diminishing in this manner
the value of those bills, nearly in the some degree
in which the excessive hone had eoteent t:,. it paper
to be depreciated. This mesa. of limper was at last
removed by granting bills on London et a fixed
date; for the. wiyaiseiit ot which hills, or in other
words, lea the pisymetit or which excess or riper, it
was necessary Mirth, first instance to provide, by
placing large pecisoisry funds in the hands of their
Loudon ciirremprhadclits. In aid of such precaution-
ary measures toil the part of the Edinburgh Banks
ao Aet of l'arlisineitt prohilrit-r1 the optional
clauses, and suppressed ten and five shilling notes.
The exchange between England rod Scotland was
speedily restated to its enteral rate ; moil hills. en
Lonsloa at a fixed date having ever since been given
in exchange for the circulating notes of Scotl iud,
all tnatetiJl exerss of Scottish paper above kink of
England has been prrreated, and the Exchelige

The experience of this Bonk of Englied
within a very short period after its first etablishinent,
furnishes a very instructive illustrotion of all the
foregoing principles and reasoninge. in this in.
swim the efiects of a depreciation of the com, by
wear and clipping. were ecuided with the effect of

tee to afford much instruction opus. tee subject of
their present inquiry.
Your Committee must next refer -to the essiifi--
matiou and sanction which all their reasonings re-
ceive from the labours of the Committee of this
Douse, which was appointed in a former Parlia-
ment to examine into the causes of the eat depre-
ciatiou of the Irish Exchange with England in
1804. Most of the in-rcuistile persons who gave
evidence before that Cutrunittee.-includin;g two Di-
rectois of the Batik of Ireland. were unwilling to
admit that the fall of the Exchange was in any de-
grey to he ascribed to an excess of the paper gur-
rency arising out of the restriction of 1797 ; the 1
whole fall in that case. as in the present, was re-
ferred to an utifarouroble balance of trade or of pay-
ments; and it was also then affirmed, that " Notes
issued only in proportiou to the demand, Se ex-
change fur good and convertible securities payable
at specific period., could not tend to any excess in
the circulation, or to any depreciation." This docds
ttine, though more or te•scivalifled by some of the
Witnesses. pervades most of the evidence given !sa-
bre that Committee. with ohs remarkable excep-
tion of Mr. Mansfield, whose knowledge of the el•
fects of that over issue of Scotch paper, which has
just been mentioned, led him to deliver a more just
opinion on the subj•ct. Many of the Witnesses be-
fore the Committee, however unwilling to ac-
knowledge the real nature' of the evil. made im-
portant concessions. which necessarily involved
them in inconsi • tows+. They could nut, as psac-
tical men. controvert the truth of the gesieral Ps-
Olio*. that " the Simulate*, of Exchange be-
tweeo two conntries are generally limited be the
price at which any levtm quantity of Sulliea eau
be purchased in the etrculatiug essedinto of the
' deist°, country, and constrict' into the circulating
medium of the creditor country, together with the
insurances and charges if traesporting it from the
one to the other."' It woe et the ovine time admit-
ted. that the expense of It-inverting geld from
England to !relent!. Mel udiug insurance. was then
under one per cent.; that before the restrictioo,
the fluituations had dtver long and much exceeded
this limit; and moreover. that the exchange with
Belfast, where guinea, freely circulated at the
time of the investigation by that Committee, was
then 1) in faidoer of Ireland. while the Etchange
with Dublin, where only paper was adts use. was
Int. per ceut. agniust that country. It also ap.
rarer" from such imperfect documents as it was
practicable to furnish. that the btatanee of tra.le
was then favourable to Ireland. Still. however, it
WWI contended, that there was no depreciation_of
Irish paper, that there was a scarcity and censegnent
high price of gold, and that the dittinutionof Irish
paper would not rectify the exchange. "Tbedepre-
eiation of Bank paper in Irelaidd (it was said byente
of the Witnesses. a Director of the Bulk of Ireland)
is entirely a relative term with respect to the man
who buys and sells is Dublin by that common in,.
dium ; to him it is not depreciated at all; but to
the purchaser of a Bill no London. to him in that
relation, and under that circumstance. there it a
depreciation of ten per cent." By thus avoiding
all comparison with a view to the paint in iteine. be-
tween the value of their own paper and that of
either the then circulating medium of this CottotrYs
or of gold bullion, or even of gold vein then pass-
in g at a premium in other port. of Ireland, they ap-
pear to hare retained a confident opinion, that
sin deprecietion of Irish parr hail taken place.
It is further oleieresible, tnat the value of a eon-
miler ible genntity of 'toilers pet into circulation by
the Bonk et ',eland et this period, eras rimed to ss.
a ...ore-, for the professed purpose of is...Merin, the
new silver calm elootrormlble to the existing state of
the exchange, a ei,cnin.t.o.c.• oti which the Com-
JJJ i J tee auimadverted in their Itepore, and which
serves to spew that the Irish paper currency could
not stand a cosispiriom with the stamlard price of
silver, any more than with that of gold bullion,
witli gold in coin, ur with the then paper currency
of this kingdom.
A fact was mentioned to that Committee. on the
evidence of Mr. Colville, a Director of the Hank of
Ireland, thuugh it carried no coavictma to
his mini' ut the tendency of a linattation of paper
to lower exchanges. seems very decisive on Chia
point. Ile stated, that in 1753 and 1734 the Dub-
lin exchange being remarkably unfavourable. and
the notes of the Dublin Brisk bring suslJeuly with-
drawn, the ex, hinge 'weenie 'Mauler's, favourable.
The mercantile distress productaion that °minors
was ere it, through the suddenness of the operation.
i for it was effected, not liv the gradual and pruden-
tial measures of the several Banks, bet through
the violent pressure which their onguarded issues
had broiight upon them. The generA result, how-
ever. is not the less übserealrle.

With a view to the further elucidation of the
subject of the Irish exchanges, which sa lately at-
tracted the attention of Parliament, it 'nay be pro-
per to remark, that Irrland has air J.-shags in ex-
change with foreign c. 44444 triro. except . through
