The Society took under ennsideration,the various

Among other matters which came before the So.

ifarry Paul t, commonly called Dai of Pohon,
King. of 17;3w:street, and Governor of Lambeth
Nem!), a well.known public charatter, died -lately
in the above neighbourhood, and his remains were
atteeded to the grave by a great number of person's
whom his boainiy had made comfortable.
Parsona, the Comedian, speating of the subjCEl of
the following particulars, frequently &dared, with
the greatest gravity, that he would rather expend a
crown to hear,Harry Paulet relate one of Hawke's
battles, than sit, gratis, by the mist celebrated ora-
tor of the day. There was (said Parsons) a man-
ner in his heart-felt narrations, that was certain to
bring his atrditots into the vets, scene of adian ; and
when' he de:scribed the moments of, vinory, I have
seen a dozen labouring men, at the Crnwn Public.
house, rise together, and, Moved by an instantaneous
impulse, give three cheers, while Harty took breath
to recite more of his exploits. This man, whose love
for his country Could not be excelled, was, in the year
1758, master of an English vessel ip North America,
and traded. up the river St. Lawrence ; but being
taken by the enemy, he remained a prisoner under
Montcalm, at Qeebec, , who ref Used to exchange
him, on account of his extensive knowledge of the
oast, the strength of Quebec and Louisbourg, with
the different soundings. They therefore came to a
resolution to and him to Fraince to be kept a pri.
brine during the war ; and with such intent 'he was
embarked on board a' vessel ready to sail with dis.
patches to the French Government. firing the only
Englishman on board, Harry was' admitted to the'
cabin, where he took notice one day, that the packet
hung in an exposed situation in :a canvas bag, for the
purpose of being.thrown overboard on any danger
of being taken : this he marked as the objeft'of a
daring enterprize ;.and shortly after, inconsequence
of the vessel being obliged to put into 'Vigo for pro-
visions and intelligence, he pot his design into exe.
onion, There were two English men of war lying
at anchor, and Mr. Paulet thotight this a proper op.
portupity to make his meditated attempt; he there.
fore one night, when all but the watch were asleep,
took the pauket out of the bag, and having fixed it
in his mouth, silently, let himself down to the water,
and, to prevent being discovered, floated on his back
to the bows of one of the English ships, where he
secured himself by the cables, and calling fur as,
sistance, was immediately taken on board with the
paelc'et. The .Captain, charmed with his bold at.
tempt, treated him with great humanity, and gave
him a suit of scarlet clothes trimmed with blue
velvet and gold, Which he retained to the day of his
death. The dispatches being transcribed, proved to
be of the utmost consequence to our affairs in North
America ; and Harry was sent with a copy of them
post overland to Lisbon, from whence he was brought
to Falmouth in a sloop of war, and immediately set
out fur London. Upon his arrival in' town, he was
examined' by proper persons in the AdminiStration,
and rewarded agreeably to the nature of his service ;
but, what is most remarkable, an expedition was in.
stantly formed upon a review of these dispatches,
and 'out Weems in North America, under Wolfe
and , Saunders, are in some degree to.be attributed
to the attachment of Harry Paulit to the
_interests
of his country,.
For his services the Gavernment'rewarded him
With the 'pay of a Lieutenant for life, which, with
other advantages, for Harry had ever been 'prudent;
he was enabled to purchase a vessel : here Fame
takes some liberty with his charkler, and &anus,
that he: used to run to'the French cow, and now
and then take-in a cargo of brandy ; but, be that as
it may, Harry was tine morning returning, when
the French fleet had.stoloout of Brest under Con.
flans, while Admiral, Hawke was hid behind the
rock of Ushant to watch the motions of the'euerdy.
Mr.' Pallet, loving his country better than his
'cargo, soon ran up to. the British Admiral, and de.
mantling, to speak, with him, was ordered to
his vessel fast and come on board ; upon his telling
Hawke What he knew 'of the entony,' the Admiral
fold him, if he Was right, he 'would make his- for.
tune ; Fitt if he had deceived him, by he would
king him upon the yard.. arm. The fleet wax
stoutly under weigh, and;upon Paulet's direttion eta'
the master: (for he
,was an excellent pilot), the Bri.
tish fleet was presently brought between the enemy
and 'their own coast; and now the Admiral ordered
Paulet into the vessel, and bade him make the best
of his way ; but Harry begged of the Admiral, as he
had'Aiseovered the enemies of his country, that he
;night be allowed to assist in bearing them. This
request was assented to by the Commander ; and
Paulet had 'his station assigned, at'which no man
could behave better ; and when the battle was over,
this' true born Englishman was sent home covered
with Commendations, and. relented with, that which
arlobled'hintto live happy the reminder of his life.
Mr. Paulet'possessed a freehold estate. in Gambill,
London ; add, .respecting the•good, he did with his
income, there is not a poor being in 'the neighbour,

FROM MINUTIA. OF tVIDENCE

Taken' before the Committee' appointed to inquire into the
State el Ireland, as to its. Circulating Paper,; its Spccie and
Curwt Coin; and the Exchange between-that part of the
United Kingdom and Great Britain
The Right Hon. 101-IN FOSTER, in the Chair.
- ' (Continued from our Paper of Saturday.)

THOMAS THORPE FRANK, ESQ. EXCHANGE MER.-
• CHANT'OF DUBLIN, EXAMINED.
Can you suggest any. remedy that would he bene-
ficial to prevent. the counterfeiting of 'silver cuin ?
—4 am not prepaied to answer that question.
Would not the substitution of a goad silver -car-
rency answer es the .remedy ?--I have no doubt it
Would, send I believe 'the most, effeatial one..; by
the word Currency, I include more than the coin of
the Realm.

Does any tnode occur to you of procuring that
sufficiency of currency by the circulation of dollars ?
—Presuming the procuring of dollars is practicable,

of which I really cannot. say any thing, I would
prefer,that to a .re.coinage at the Tower ; for this
reason ; no silver can 1:e issued from the Tower ar-,
a higher price than /1. 24. for the pound Tr.ly ; and
I conceive that the prese,nt distreis to be remedied,
is not to be' by any thing that will- permanently

change the relative value between gold and silver as
e.tablished in this Country.
At what price should dollars be made current in
Ireland, underthepresentcircutustances ?—lt is -a

question of difficulty ; I -have formed opinions of
my own, which I am ready to give.
State them.---Taking for granted that they are
to circulate in England at p. British rAch, which
is very coniiderably beyond the Mint price of silver,
and which I conceive to be onW jus.tifird by nem.
sity, it will be necessary to add a further additional.
value in Ireland, to meet the present course of cx.

change; the price, I think, may for that pur.
pose, about ss. 6.1. Eriglish, or perhaps to advance
as far as 6s, Irish, which will he one hait'penny
more, according as it Lilly be found most converiient
on the final determination.

How much per cent, would that make the Irish
value more than the British ?—lt is exadly to per
cent. being 6d. upon ss.
Would that advance, in your opinion, be sufficient
to keep the dollars from being Melted down in Ire-
land ?—lt would, I believe, provided that there
'Was something deeisive done in pqtting the base
coin out of circulation.
Would the profit ghat would arise from the issue
of 'diillats at that rate; be sufficient tt, compensate
the loss that Must accrue when they shall come to
be called in ?--Yon are to consider, that you are
now • inquiring for a remedy for the deficiency of

coin, when the silver is at an excessive price, and,
of course, whenever a silver. Coinage: shall take
place, it is to he presumed that the price will tie
much lower, and in course the loss will probably be
Considerable.
Do yOu mean that there would be any other losai
save Only the difference of price between silver now,
and then am inclined to believe• there would.
not, if the re:tainping them is made upon
the On-
ciple that Mr. Boulioti is now praaisinq; but there
is this to be Particularly considered, that- the circu.
hating of any" coin Considerably above the Mint
price of the country where it is "circulated, will be
attended with an abuse from foreign mints, and per-
haps an excessive circulation might, under the cir.
cumstances of,illaVourable exchange, or a profit ex-
ceeing the ''usual 'course, take' place; and become
afterwards burthensome tothe Public or .the Govern-
ment, if they were obliged to inake. the deficiency
good, unless the quantity be 'lb-hired, which I am
dear it ought to be, by a stamp or other remedy.
. Can's; you form any opinion what that limited
amount 'should be, for the present circumstances of
Ireland ?—I imagine, abnirt 4.0%0601. or sota,oool.
sterling;'would'be a supply that would answer- my
ideas upon that subje6t.
What do you consider thepresent value of a dol-
lar as bullion ?—I believe abobt 41. 4.1.: British upo'n
the Mint price,„ and 41. )off: on theaniiikei price ;
supposing dollars to he worth 55. 7d. an ounce.
In proportion as the Irish B. Note of one gui.
nea has gradually come to represent'a smaller num.
1),!1- of ounces and pennyweights of silVer bullion,
does it not of. necessity follow,: that the shillings
which are. exchanged as fradional parts of that
Batik Note.. of one guinea, will also toMain a less
portion of fine silver ?--,1 cannot presume there has
been any depreciation of the Bank:oflreland Paper.
'ln what manner,, if dollars were so issued, do
you think the silver, necessary fur the. TraOional
parts .of that dollar could be supplied ?—I appre.
bend that a considerable quantity, though not suf-
ficient to supply the general circulation, of.worn
Mint-silver, would appear, provided that all the
'base coin was at once put our of circulation.
Do you concei'Ve that 'such' an isstie of Mint
silver as you speak of fir the fraetionalliarts, would
preclude.iheingenuity of.,coiners from, being, exer-
cised in melting down the dollats, and Converting.
them, with adulteration, into Ira ftiOnal parts, or
into yepresentations of shillings and sixpences
I think, if the I.,;tv.s were made. sufficient,, anti
fully executed, that it would, Ido not believe that
the recolletlipn of good silver is so' totally lost in
the minds of the people' in that country, 'as to 5.4.
pose theni incapable: of distinguishing bet Ween, the
good. and theibsd ;-I.eonSider'it as a measure of, ne.,,
cessity their lattetly aCcepting the. base silver,; I
think that there is at. present worn silver. in the'
country which does hot' 'appear, every body being
anxious to put off the had. •
