of Colincil, in 1797, and etairit that he had sine-
refreshed his memory on that subject, by referring
to the usual sources of information, with reqwct
to the opinions of Members in either Iloose of Par-
liament, and found that his statement was correct.
Hr slid not mean to refer to those stiortws of lis-

point lie thorsOit they iniglit be relied on with
safety. On referring to them it would he seen,
that Mr. Fox thought, that instead of per Privy
Council issuing au order to 0 swirl cash tray mesite
by the Bank, the subject might, in the ti
in-
stance, to have been submitted to the Humie of
Commons.
Earl GREY replied, OM he dial tint mean to dis-
pute the general iteciintey of the Parliamemaiy Re-
ports, us given to the politic ; thee might. indeed,
contain ll error., excnsithle when the (Ireton-
staaces snider which they were collected were coo-
sidered, but as historic records they were of great
and etlionable viloe. Of il.e circuinedinee 'nen-
tinned by the Noble Lord, lie Iced ito recollection ;
hut it was probab:e that Nit.. Fox would have oh.
jected to the measure of restriction, no matter by
what meant it w•ci effected. For the memory of
that revered individual he had the highest respect,
but notwillistandiog that loi opti l i 111 l might hive
been smelt as the N,ilile Lord had stated it, he
should soli thick this the cour.e lie had suggested
of an Order of C would be the most proper
mode of proceeding.
The Marquis of LssispoWN expressed his assent
to the motion for suspending the Stamlitiv, Orders
of the Muse, and stated a- disiiticily as unda the
present circninstonces was possible, the grouilds on
which he meant to give lime vote. Before he could
COnellt in the Bill, lie felt it his duty to satisfy I -
self upon three points—First, 11141 the mean. ting-
ed for the [ink its engugrtnetits with the
public ; secondly, that a ditipoettotti prevailed in
the Committee to rec 1111 l inroad the adoptiou of bows
having sinceiely for its object the fulfilment
of those eitgageni•tits ; nisi. lastly, that if the
means so existed, and that such a disposition pre-
vailed, it was necessary that the present measure
should be adopted all a preliminary step. Ile felt
convinced that if this measure were not adopted, it
would have the effect of preventing the resusup.
that of cash payment* at as early a period as
was otherwise practicable ; and, with this feel-
tug, he could not object to the ;am mo. as• it
was calcul rated to pro,uut e the att.uunieut of that
ohject, which, with his Noble Friend (Earl Gre)),
lie most earnestly arched—the restoration of is
secure and permstient currency. The present
vote, lie was aware, wit ttoe of confidence in
the Corn tee, whirls lie thought it was the duty
of the C ttee to daunt ; hid the time was nut
far distant when it would lie found to be one of opi-
nion as well us of confidence.
Earl GREY said, lie had ledetieri with great
tisfactiots to she statement i.f Im Noble Friend, who
seemed to promise u speedy restoration of u rah
currency, tomb as existed previous to 1797. No-
thing short of this, however ingeniously tlevisrtl,
could satisfy the could, y ; but to hear from his
Noble Friends that mauls existed to effect this ob-
ject, and that the Co iiiii titter were desirous of re-
commending such steps a- 1.11005141 lead to it, af-
forded hint very guest satisfaction.
The Earl of LAI:Di:RDA LE declared that he did
not :mein to the Rein 01. though he should not op-
pose the Bill. lie hoped, however, that he should
not be considered us concluded by this measure.
The time would goon arrive whet, lie should be at
liberty to expresso the go.iiittls of his dissent.
The Marquis of LANSIDOVI4 thought it incum-
bent on him to say a few woitlis, after whit had
fallen from his Ntilde Friend (Esti (.ire)), lest hie
former ex pre:,intis may be toi.tititterstuitd by him
and others. Ile cei tautly nt ver meant to pltifi:,e
himself, and touch lets could he think of pledging
the Committer, to the stigt,e-noti or itdoptitio
of
any specific plan for she resumption of cash ;my-
motto at a peci,w period. lie should inerel)
state his own conviction that there existed in the
Committee, of which he was a messiber, a sincere
disposition to retort) its so4n as possible to a filed
standard of value.—/Hear, hear.)
