The Bank of England has come to a resolution
of considerably narrowing its Discounts ;on Private
Paper. This measure, it is,:upposed,, is owing to
a wish on the part of the Dire&tors, to diminish the -
number of their own Notes, so as to be enabled, to
withstand the Shock of the ekpeCted Invasion:—
The latter idea, however, is a mere corjeaute, it
being well known' that the Bank has trequently
within these few years' narrowed its Discounts, to
try the strength and capacity of certain great Mer-
cantile Hduses, whose affairs excite . a temporary
doubt.
