CASH-PAYMENTS.
Mr. TMNeT rose, and stated his object to be, to move

produced by the snspensioe of Cash-payments OH the ex-
change with foreign countries, and on the circulating me
dingo. It was uuderstoeithot Ministers intruded to continee

Meet:intim), sad was becoming a topic equally popular with
Ihtiveisal be Braga or Palliest entity Reform ; mod he was
disposed to thiuk. the Petitions ea the subject had been pro-
cured in the same ilaalllll/f. The only reason that he could see
for inquiry being opposed, was, because it cause from his
side est the liosese, and that be was the mover of it. He ad-
salted that the principles laid duels in the Report of the
113:lion Coussuittee femora his creed. Toe toes non had Le-

the motion of the Chancellor of the Lachilitcr, there was a
sweeping riall3e cc to other matters, that aliglht mean any

the Right Hodourable Gentle:lmo would give way, as he had
dons ou a former occasion. After the opposition belied given

agreed to all that had been dem:toted. 'flee case of the In-

however, Me had entirely abandoned on his (Mr. V.) 4ising a

appear, from no other reason than for opposition, the Right
Hotiourable Gentleman had proposed a mutton Its. is extent

of doing nothing towards reducing tail:atom, or the bestilen
of the public debt. In cootradietion of this ussertion.

tAiged the Right Hon. 0 mtlentan to contradict this statement

SUNDAY, FEBRUARY, 7, 1819.

WI: have jest received the Paris PapersofT4sesday and
Wednesday last. The French Funds continue to rise.
In the course cf Tuesday the Five per Cents. were as
li;r;h as 71f; and they left off on t.,at day, at 70f. 90c.
On Sunday a emmittee of the Chamber of Peers
presented to the Kin; the Resolution relative to the en-
tire abolition of the Droit d' dukinc,* adopted by the
Chamber in its Sittings of the 30th ult.
In the Moniker of the 31 there is a Report address-
ed to the King, by M. de Cues, as Minister of the In-
*erior, having for it; object the general impruvcinent
of Agriculture throughout France. To this Report is
subjoined a Royal Ordinance, giving effect to the
measures recommended in it. A Council of Agriculture
is to be established, under the superintendence of the
Minister of the Interior, consisting of ten Members
NVith this Council, a corresponding Member for each
.I.•partmcnt is to communicate, upon all subjects con-
nected with agricultural improvement. The names of
the persons composing the Council are also given in
the Monileur.—Among, them are she Duke de la
Rochefoucault, Count Chaptal, and Baron Ramona.
The maj aity of them are Members of the French
Institute.

The following are eziracts from these papers :
CHAMBER OF PEERS, JAN 30.
•° The Marquis of Demotes, on presenting the pro-
cct of Law, relative to the assignment of a National
itecompence to the Duke de RICHELIEU, addressed the
ihaniber u follows:

" GENTLEBlEN,—Conformably to the orders of the
:No, we now present to you the projet of a Law, which
has been adopted by the Chamber of Deputies, relative
to the National ltecompence to be assigned to the Duke
de Richelieu, to .the amendments of which his Majesty
las consented.

" It appears to ne, Gentlemen, useless to offer further
illustrations in support of this proposition. The facts
upcn which it is founded are public and incontestable ;
the possibility of the evacuation of our territory, at the
eApinttion of three years, was doubtless anticipated by
treaties ; but, however binding might be the friendship
which unites the foreign Sovereigns to our Monarch,
confidence in the state of our country, and in the dispo-
idtion of its government, was necessary to our liberation.
