IRISH RANK REST)2I6ION..

,
Mr. co RRY moved Ore Order of the Day for the
second reading ot• the Irish Bank Restritlion,tßill.
Lord ARCHI B ALD 11.1111ILTON expressed his
opinitin,,that it was inconsistent %viah the situation
of the Enyire that the Restriction on the Banks of
'gnglanti and Irelanctihnuld continue, for so lung a
period as six months after the conclusion of a De.
Cinirive Treaty of Peace. That Point, however,
had h:en decided upon by the House : the object of
his rising now via. to give notice, that when the
Bill should be in a Committee, he should, move a
Clatrie for 'the 'purpose of preventing the emission
of'll.iper Money to that exitiorditiary amount which
he Conceived had been done by the Bank of Ire.
land„

CORRY said there was a- clause in both
tti enable thti respeFtivellanka to resume pay.
stems in specie upon giving due notice for_ that
purpose; It was'therefore nut of necessity that they
bh iuld refuse to pay in Cash. • Upon this siled,
however, he would not now enter, but he wished.
to .observe, that the
,greater part of the, Members
for Ireland, in Coniet•pwce of their military duties,
itad been unable tip give their attendance, at this
early period orthe 'Session, ,and it Was material
that no subjea of importance Should' be brought
'forward during the absence of so large a proportion
of the Irish Representatives. The present subsist-
irig Aft for restraining 'Cash payments at the Bank
f Ireland, 'you'd nt'eitpite Until- some .tithe after
he supposed'period of Recess, he therefore proposed
o postpone the Committee on the present Hill, ,tin.
tit after that period, I,.lien the Nobletorti wttuld
have an opportunity 'of inking his promised Mo.

INDIAIONDS. •

for, the H9usec.tg.kr? iptoa •a ;,,Comtti4 tee on 'the India
Bond
as the motion for ille-SrtAitatt leaving the
Chair,
Mr. 44fi'Arr obleci to ithe. Bill, on the grouna
of its shewing , a partiality in -favour of the East
India Comp4ny, in prefer:nil! ro other Corporations.
This Bill,wetit to put. IndiA theitme foot.

vernment.
Lord 4STLERE4GII. replied, that the objed
of the Bill, which tended to:promote the interest
of 'the. Etat intik; Company would; at the same
time, ~be highly beneficial to the Public, who de.
rived.. great . advantages from the Trade or that
Company, and whose intereat it was that the Caei-
tal.of the CoMpany should' not be diminished. -1 he
Revenue already derived tri the State Itbin the Cont.
merce of. the ~,East India Company, amounted to
/,226,0001. and there wss a prospeCt, not very
distant, of an immediate annual sulr•of soo,oool.
being thrown into the Public Cors, out of the
Resources of the Compaiiy. It was not merely,
therefore, to the interest t7f rhat.Company that they
had to look, but ,to the vital interests of our
Finances: At the present moment, whilst Excite.
quer. Bills bore a .I)retnium
,of Two Shillings per.
Cent. India-Bonds were ate aijiicount Of One,Shil.
ling, making a difference of.Tlifee Shillings. The
India BOndi at present in the Market amounted:to
1,700,0001. and, the Company were legally autho.
rized to i,.sue 300,0601. from, If the Compsny
%vete to dedutl,the.Propecry :Tax froth the Interest
of these 13.inds at: the time, of payment, circunt.
awed .as they' were •in, the marker, it. would tend
'still' further to depreciate them,, and might eventus,,
thtow them back into'. the hands of the
Company,,and thus by so much diminish its Capital,,
which was.:a circumstance that certainly ought to
. be- provided against for the sike of the interest of
ihe,Company and that of the Public:. it was there
fore the object of the prese,lt Bill to allow the holders
.of those Bunda. to, receive the sirhpleinterest, and
Make their own Rectum,: .1;
Mr. DENT ,and Lord .CASTL'iIitIAOII severally
explained,

The CH4NCELLOR ofrhe EXCHEQUER, ad-
verting to something that. WO boeil oaeci by Mr.
DENT, Wilk!) we tild not distinctly hear, said ~
misconception had, generally prevailed relative to
the Vote of 5,000,0001. in Exchequer Bills messed,
n few days sinm That sum was not proposed to
be issued toply 0ft4.,500,0001. in Exchequer Bills
outstanding,an4 the Payment of which was chargeil
upon the first Aids of Atte Year. - What he stated
was, that it was very pri)bahic when'the latter sum
was paid off, that the !~[alders of 01(46 Bills mign,t
wish to invest their money in new Bills.: The
only excess of nExchequer. Bills would amount to
sootoool. which, with 3ootoool. remaining em,
issued of. the Vote Of Credie.of last year, and which
must be‘issued in ExChequer Bills, 'would make the
total excpss 800,0001.

Or: JOHNSTON said, sitar a Bill to enable rite
East,lndia Cutnpany to borrow at a larger rsia of
intcresi than any other,Publie Body, was a 'bad test
of the prosperity of the Cconviny.
Mr, PANSII:TART ,otuerved, that the Cerra
pany, though able •to burrow tni3ney per tier I
interest during Peace, might not. ‘-be -al,ele to 1).)1'...
raw at,th4 same rate dining War, This Bill wa,,,
hoWever, rendered necessary by the difference- •
tweed the Property Tax and the Inentne
Mr. CHARLES GRANT said, .the obj-ect of the
Bill was not to place tite Company. in a better situ4l.
tiun, but•to prevent it from being placed in a worse
situation. ~India bonds were corning in every cilv
to. be paid,
.and if the.,Property Tot was to lie ile;
