IRISH CURRENCY.

,Mr. PARNELL., pursuant to a former notice, rose
to submit a motion to the HOuse, for assimilating
the medium of Exchange between this Country and
Ireland. He considered the abbjeCl to, be Of the ut.
Most importauce, us it related to the commercial and
pecuniary transaaions of the two Countries, and as
it was calculated, in • his opinion, to unite the two
Countries more clesely together,. and to go a great
way to destroy those prejudices and marks of dis-
tinelion that it was desirable should bens few as pos.
sible. It would remove effetaually all the inconVe•
niencies arising from the iluetuation of the rate of
Exchange between the two Countries, and prove for
the advantage of this' Country, and for the interest
orthei Batik of England, who, he hoped, .would en-
catirage the measure', as well asfor the greatet.pros-
perky of, Ireland. ',After a speech of considerable
length, fiejtated, that .it was his intention to Move,
in the Resolutions he Meant to submit to the House,
that,. in order to assimilate the currency of the two
Countries, and facilitate their pecuniary intercourse,
the Bank of England Notes- should be made legal
tenders in Ireland,
,as tivef l as those of the Bank. of
Ireland ; that the English shilling shouldpass for
twelve-pence, and not for thirteen, as now ; and
that the copper coin of 'lreland should be called in,
anti that 91 England subatituted in its loom. For
what he had,lated,.,and fbr the opinions hey had ex-
Tressed, hu4'4a the authority of the Committee that.
had been at yointed to take the subje& into conside'
ration, andes.v hose printed Report he had in his hadd;
he had also a'faither illustration of the statements he
.had made in the salutary consequences that had fol-
lowed a similar measure with respeet to Scotland tuid
England. He concluded with moving, that the
Report be referred to a Committee of the whole
House.

Mr. FOSTER said, be should be as happy as the
Right Hon. Gentleman to do away the exchange
between Great Britain and Ireland, but the plan
proposed by theßon. Gentleman appeared to him to
be impra6ticable., One part of his plan was, to make
the Bank of England pay in Irish notes, and the
Batik of Ireland in English notes, whenever they
should be respired. Stich a regulation was absurd ;
it would be impossible to compel two private corn.
panics to adopt such a system. Another objet of
the Hon. Gentleman was.: to.. make English Bank
notes legal tender in Ireland. Did the Honourable
Gentleman know that they were not a legal tender
in England And sorely it 'would be going rather
too far to make them so in Ireland. Every part
of the ,Honourable Gentleman's plan appeared
to him impreeticable. The utmost,. he, thought,
that could- be done, would be to prevent these
sudden and violent fluctuations of exchange but
even if it were praitticable at present to equalize the
currency of the two countries, it would be attended
with great injpry to Ireland. The silver coinage of
Ireland consisted of five-penny piecia, ten-penny
pieces, thirty penny pieces, and six-shilling pieces.
"rhese, the House would observe, did not fora) any
aliquot part of any English currency, and the incon-
venieney of forcing • English currency in Ireland,
while they had that coinage, must be obvious, BLit
it was said that these tokens should. be all called in,
and a new coinage issued both for England and ire.
land. Did the Hon. Gentleman know what quan-
tity of silver coin would be necessary for the two
countries ? England would require 4,000,0061. and
Ireland 1,200,0001. for their silver circulation ; that
is to say, 5,000,0001. worth of silver would be ne-
cessary to make a coinage for the two conntries.4.-.
Upon the Whole, every part of the Honourable
Gentleman's plan appeared t(o him impracticable,
and therefore he should oppose the motion, because
if these kind of enquiries did not promote any good,
they were sure to do miscbiefd
Mr. also opposed the motion, on the
ground that it wasnot possible to rendCr EngliSh and
Irish money of equal value, _ _

Mr. fI..ZIORNTON said, that it would not be pal-
eible to render the current coin of Ireland equal to
that of England, without rendering the notes of the
English and Irish 13ailcs equal.
Mr. PONSIWBY allowed every credit to his Hon.
Friend for bringing the subject before Parliament,
but he was confident that his objett, under the pre-
sent circumstances of the two countries., could not
be accomplished. No alteration could be made in
the value of the notes of either country, withont.
intringing'on' the charters of the two Eanks. He ad.
mated that it would be a measure of satisfaction to
both countries, hut that it was lit present impraelicar
ble to carry it into &fed. ,
Mr. Dsvpiti OIDDy was of the same opinion;.
Mr. PARbigLi. exphOed. He wished' it to he
distinaly'understood that be had no intention. of pat-
ting die people of Ireland to any inconvenience from
the want of coin, as it was his intention'that the.
Old should nof he called in till the new should be
ready for circulation, and as the measure was deem-
ed desirable, and the exchange between the two
countries was nearly equal, he thought the present
the most desirable time to bring it forward.
•
The motion was then lint reje6ted without a
division.

Qn the motion of Mr. Mqons, on Account of
the Monies issued by the, Secretary at "War in the
year taciti, wap ordered to be printed. ,
Lord CA$ll.ll/4IIBAG:H moved the Oilier of the Day
for the Houle resolving loci! into pouutlittee on
he carnpletion Bill.
Lord. A, made a few pbservatious,

which were replied to by Lord Castlereagh, and the
Committee was formed, -

On the Clause ena&ing that, after a certain
period, if the complement was not obtained, the
baltot should take place, a good deal of discussion
took place.
Mr. GILES contended, that the threat of the bal-
lot would etfeaually prevent recruiting, inasmuch as
the recruits would keep back in expectation orthei
high bounties produced by the ballot.
Lord CisrLana,tcat observed in reply, that those
who entered as recruits were not generally specula-
tive reasoners, who looked' forward a great way,,,,
He could not consent to abandon the ballot, beiiev=
ing that it would be a very dangerous experiment,-
while he proposed to give a period of 12 naonthi for
completing the service by volunteering.. ' •
Mr.:WiNDITAM observed, that if the Bill should
pass, the language of the, recruiters must in effea
be, make haste, my lads, take the bounty. of I 2
guineas, for if you wait till 1810, you will'hare
40 !" In consequence of the Noble Lord's military
measures, recruiting speculations were very generally
diffused.
Mr, Gir.as expressed his conviction, that the.bal7
lot, was" from 'various considerations, the most ex-
pensive-and partial mode of raising Men. But at
any rate, he must contend, that the introduaion of
the ballot would, in faet, destroy the very experiMent
of the Noble Lord. He should therefOre take 'the
sense of the Committee upon the Clause.
A division then took place, when there apPeared—
For the Clause 52—Against it 12—Majority 40. •
On entering we found Sir JAMas Mouroossaitt
proposing that Recruits for the Militia should be
raised, as well in adjoining counties as in their own,
which was agreed to.
Some discussion then tool: ',Lice on the Clause
imposing 'a fine of 201. on the County tor every
man not raised.

A division then took place; and 'the numbers
were—For the Clause 34—Against it y--Majo•
rity 25.
The other Clauses of the Bill were then gone
through. Atter which,
Mr. BinnuLits proposed a Clause, by Which all
Peers of Parliament should be included in the Aet,
and made liable to its provisions.
This was opposed by. Lord CASTLEREAGH and
Mr. ELLIOT, on the ground of Peers being the he...
reditary Counsellors of the King, and as having been
alWays entitled to this exemption.
A division then took place—Ayes I—Noes 37.
The House then adjourned at one &clock.

LONDON,
Witlns/F.DAY, APRIL 19, 1809.

,Last night we received Dutch and Gerrnan,Papers
to the gth inst. they contain news f'r`om Paris -tp
the 3d. They are chiefly important as they contra'
did the rumour that an arrangement had taken place
between -France, and Austria. It appears that both
parties are . continuing their preparations with the
greatestv,igour. The Archduke CliAittE3 has left
Vienna to take the command •of the Army. Etio-
NAPARTE was. expeded to leave Paris on. the 4th -for
Strasburg!). A congress is to be held, it is said, at
which the Kings of BAVAttIA, SAXON Y, and WIRT.
11MBU ROM are to attend, and an attempt is to be made
to induce the Emperor of Aus'rar4 to be present, an
attempt, we should think, which is riot very likely
Ito succeed.

From Spain the news is not very Dew nor very
important.

The last accounts from Buenos Ayres end Monte
Video are given in a letter from Rio de 'Janeiro,
dated February 6. It appears that the-latter place,
under the cowman(' of ELto, still he)tout against
LINIERS, and that all intercourse between the two
Cities was cut off. Lintans hadexcited a Revolu-
'tion at.Buenorikres in January, and had proclaimed
„himself Viceroy, 'The heads of the people, however,
had desired to forai a Junta, in imitation of the Mo-
ther Country, and. four of the leading men went to
treat with
.the self.eleded Viceroy, at F4este, but
when they bad passed the draw...bridge, it was drawn

up, and they. were immediately seized and put on
board a Schooner, with but 'very httlr provisions;
and nobodyhas heard. W bat became of them.

the command of the Marquis de ROSIANA, and that
Under the command of Gen, SOULT, in all of which

'the latter was defeated. It was in consequence of
theseliefeats that SOULT entered the Northern part
