REPOR r.

The SECRET CommirrEE appointed to inquire into the expedi-
ency of renewing the Charter of the Bank of England, and
into the system on which Banks of Issue in England and
Wales are conducted; and to whom the Petition of certain
Directors of Joint-Stock Banking Companies in England was
_ to renew+ the Minutes of
Your Committee have applied themselves to the inquiry
which the House has committed to them, by calling for
all the accounts which appeared to them necessary for the
purpose of elucidating the affairs of the Bank of England,
and have examined evidence, for the purpose of ascertain•

ing the principles on which it regulates the issues of its
notes, and conducts its general transactions. They feel
bound to state that the Directors of the Rank of England
have afforded to them every facility in their power, and
have most readily and candidly answered every question
which has been put to them, and produced every account
which has been called for. The Committee have also ex-
amined such witnefses as appeared to them, from their
practical knowledge and experience, most likely to afford
information on the important subjects under their consi-
deration, who have all ben ready to give tie Committee
the most ample information.
The principal points to which they have directed their
attention are—

First. Whether the paper circulation of the metropolis
should be confined, as at present, to the issues of one bank,
and that a commercial company ; or whether a competition
of different banks of issue, each consisting of an unlimited
number of partners, should be permitted.
Secondly. If it should be deemed expedient tbst the pa-
per circulation of the metropolis should be confined, as at
present, to the issues of one bank, how far the whole of
the exclusive privileges possessed by the Bmk of England
are necessary to effect this object.
Thirdly. What checks can be provided to secure for
the public a proper management of banks of issue, and
especially whether it would be expedient and safe to com-
pel them periodically to publish their accounts.
With respect to the circulation of paper in the country,
the Committee have examined, first, into the effect pro-
duced by the establishment of the branch banks of the
Bank of England ; and, secondly, into the expediency of
encouraging the establishment of joint stock banks of issue
in the country.

On all these, and on some collateral points, more or
less information will be found io the minutes of evidence ;
but on no one of them is it so complete as to justify the
Committee i❑ giving a decided opinion.
The period of the Session at which the Committee com-
menced their labours, the importance and extent of the
subject, and approaching close of the Session, will suffi4
ciently account to the House for the limited progress of
the inquiry, and for the incompleteness of the materials
which have been collected, for the purpose of forming
an opinion. They hive thought it better, therefore, to
submit the whole of the evidence which they have taken,
with a very few exceptions, to the consideration of the
House.

Ira their opinion no public inconvenience will arise
Iron this publication. The only parts of the evidence
which they have thought it necessary to suppress, are
those which relate merely to the private interests of indi-
viduals.

The House will perceive that the Committee have pre-
sented, as part of the evidence which they have taken, the
actual amount of bullion at diff-rent times in the hands
of the Bank of England. This information has never
before been given to the public. It is, however, very es-
sential to a complete knowledge of the subject ; and if it
had been suppressed by the Cumulill4e many part; of the
evidence would have been unintelligible, and a false
pression would have been produced in the minds of the
public, that the Bank were not as well provided with
bullion as is desirable, which might have a very injurioue
effect. The House will, however, observe, that the Bank
is amply provided with bullion at the present time; and
it does not therefore appear to the Committee that this in-
formation being now given to the public can be prodwltive
of any injurious consequences.
The Committee, however, by no means wish it to be
understood, from their having felt themselves called upon
to include this evidence in their report, that they have
formed any opinion as to the propriety of periodically
publishing the affairs of this or of any other bank of issue.
There appears to be a difference between a publication of
the affairs of the Bank when an inquiry is instituted for
the purpose of decidiuig whether the Bank Charter shall be
renewed or not, and a periodical publication during the '
course of its ordinary transactions.

Of the ample means of the Bank of England to meet all
its engagements, and of the high credit which it has always
possessed, and which it continues to deserve, no ma❑ who
reads the evidence taken before this Committee can for a
moment doubt ; for it appears that, in addition to the
surplus rest in the l.ands of the Bank itself, amounting to
2,880,0001., the capital on which interest is paid to the
proprietors, and for which the State is debtor to the Bihk,
amounts to 14,553,0001., making no less a sum tl an
17,433,0001. over and above all its liabilities.

LONDON,
WEDNESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 12, 1832.

The Marquis of PALMELLA having con-
cluded to his satisfaction the negotiations into
which he had entered for reinforcing the Con-
stitutional army, will positively leave London
this day, for Oporto, accompanied by M. de
BA RBOZA, Don PEDRO'S Under Secretary of
State for Foreign Affairs. The Marquis was
at the Foreign Office this morning, where he had
a long interview with Sir GEORGE SHEE.

%juicer ()I nip rani im mime an tnICI ui "..10
services, with a large body of men, to the Mar-
quis of PALNIELLA, for the reinforcement of
the Constitutional Portuguese army. It is with
great pleasure we now announce, that the offer
has been accepted, and that all the necessary ar-
rangements were entered into last night.

We are happy to state, that the official ac-
counts from Oporto and Lisbon are of the most
cheering description for the Constitutional cause,
The letters received by the Marquis of PAL-
MELLA from Oporto confirm the statement
which has appeared in our Paper of the ex-
istence of considerable Guerilla bands, and add,
that large numbers of the Miguelite soldiers had
deserted, and returned to their homes. From
Lisbon we learn, that Don IVItouEL had re-
solved on the retirement of General PovoAs,
and desired him to demand leave of absence. He
had written to GASPAR TEIXEIRA, command-
ing him to attack Oporto without delay ; but
the answer of TEIXEIRA stated, that he had
found the city strongly fortified, and the Consti-
tutionalists determined to hold out to the last
extremity ; and that if an attack should be made
and fail, the consequences to Don MIGUEL
might be terrible. It is mentioned, as a curious
fact, that just before the return of the Miguelite
squadron from Oporto, Don MIGUEL had or-
dered his Ministers to send despatches to the
authorities throughout the country, announcing
the total defeat of SARTORIUS; and Lisbon was
ordered to be illuminated. On the arrival of his
squadron off Lisbon, MIGUEL sent an order to
the Commander not to enter the Tagus; but he
replied that his vessels were in so bad a state,
that he could not remain at sea. The entry
into the Tagus was a sad blow to the Miguel-
ites, after the story which they had spread of
the defeat of SARTORIUS.

It will be seen by the following extracts from
Don MiGuEL's own Gazette, that he acknow-
ledges the existence of Guerilla parties, whom
he designated as robbers, banditti, &c.:—
Lassox,
AuG. 28.—The official part contains a report
from the province of Beira, stating, that a band of robbers
having appeared in the Serras of Bussaco and Beralvo, a
detachment of Royalist volunteers of Trancozo was sent
to disperse them ; aftt.r which no more was heard of
them, fill news was bro .ght that eight men and a sergeant,
escorting sonic ammunition sent from Abrantes, had bee❑
attacked by 30 or 40 banditti, who bad seized the ammuni-
tion (cartridges), and spoiled it, when they saw what they
had got. The Governor of Coimbra immediAtely sent a
detachment of Royalist volunteers of Penela in pursuit of
the r,:bbers, <<nd the militia of the districts all took arms
to take or kill this banditti, who dispersed and hid them-
selves in the mountains. 'the General of Upper Beira
having ordered that the banditti should be pursued till
they were met with, the people most eagerly executed this
older, and on the 15th of August, a Captain of Penacova
and his militia discovered seven of the banditti near Con-
tiga ; they killed one, and took the other six prisoners,
two of them wounded. They were brought to the head.
goat tern of the province to be tried. The militia were so
incensed against them, that it was with much difficulty
their lives were saved.
.Those who are dispersed are pur-
sued through the mountains and vallies. •

OFFICIAL.

LISBON, SEPT. 1.-By this week's mails, which ar-
rived on the 2/th, 29th, tnd 31st, the local authorities of
all the cities, towns, and places in the kingdom, announce
to bis Majesty's Government, that in all of them the public
tranquillity continued without interruption, hut that the
inhabitants were animated with the greatest enthusiasm in
the cause of the King and the independence of the nation.
Lassos, Auc. 31.—8 y the mails this week we have
letters, from which we make the following extracts :
VALLONGO, Auc. 23.—A1l our troops are within three
quarter@ of a league of Oporto. It is impossible to de-
scribe the enthusiasm, or we might rather call it the rage,
of the soldiers against the rebels, who are in a most un-
happy situation. As soon as our troops approached Oporto,
that city was in the greatest alarm that can be conceived.
To-day a French sergeant and two soldiers have come
hither, and eleven Portuguese, who beg to be allowed to
Join our ranks. _ _ .

Conlin*, Auc. 25.—We hear, that with the division
beyond the Douro there are 6,000 or 7,000 guerillas
well armed, and that all of them, as well as the troops, are
impatient to attack the rebels.
PENAFIEL, Auc. 18.—Our advanced posts are within
a short distance of Oporto. The rebels in that city re-
mained in arms. Since the 15th the scarcity of flour is
much felt, millet flour being sold at 1,440 rs. per alqueire.
All the families who are able to do so c.ntinue to fly from
the city, which is a scene of disorder, confusion, terror,
and imprisonments ; and it often happens that persons ar-
rested die on entering the prisons of the blows they have
rt ceived on the way.
TAROACA, AUG. 19.—His Majesty will certainly be
glad to know that all the people hasten to his service, and
the defence of the nation, with greater generosity and en-
thusiasm than even on the invasion of Banap.trte.

PENAFIEL, Auc. 22.—This town is as tranquil as
possible. The divisions have been supplied with all neces-
saries in abundance. .

VALLONGO, AUG. 23.—1 t is reported to-day, that
gi eat disorder prevails among the rebels in Oporto.
The Gazettes contain a very great number of announce-
ments of contributions of corn, oxen, &c. for the army.

Among the ship news, the latest arrival is a Russian
brig at Sc. Julien, on the 3d of Septembcr. —Lisbon Ga-
zettes to Sept. 4, inclu,ive.

OPORTO.
(From the Chronica Constitutional.)
OPORTO. Auo. 25.—Eight o'Clock, a. m.—The rebels
since the 22d, had approached Oporto in three direc-
tions, viz by the road of Fortniga, that of Vallongo, and
that of St. Cosine. To-day the head of the column which
had approach, d by La Formiga, attempted a reconnoi-
sance towards Agoa Ardente and Los Congregados, and
the sharpshooters on both sides commenced a firing, which
was of short duration. Two shots from a howitzer, of
the battery of Agoa Ardente, and three well directed from
the battery of Los Coneregados, lolling among the columns
of their reserve, determined them quickly t abandon their
purpose, and to retreat,leaving three horses dead and a few
men, and taking with them some carts with wounded,
besides others who accompanied them there on foot. We
had one t•oldier wounded. Sufficient praise cannot be
given to the coolness and bravery with which our soldiers
behaved, and by which they showed the enemy what kind
of reception awaited them, if they dared to advance.
The Journal contains a proclamation to the soldiers of
Don M goal, inviting them to desert from the banners of
the Usurper, anti to join the army of the Queen.
The Chronica contains decrees recompensing the sth

Auo. 31.—A decree, dated Aug. 20, decides that every
citizen who, without having a legitimate excuse, shall re-
fuse to serve any public office to which he is legally ap-
pointed, sh .11 be forced.

SEPT. I.—Sailors of the men •of •war of her most faith-
ful Majesty having b,•en met in all parts of the city, without
any pet son authorising them to be on shore, which can only
I.appen from a neglect of discipline by the commanders of
the said ships, his Imperial Majesty hopes that he shall not

ships of war to be reminh;ell that it is their principal duty
to preserve discipline on board, anti that they alone are
answerable for all neglect of orders by those under them.
No communication by means of boats between the ships
anchored in the Douro and the shore is to be allowed after
sunset.

SEPT. S.—The Chronica contains a report to the Duke
of Braganza, prUposing to alter the laws respecting di ser-
tion ; signed by the Minister of War, Ago‘tinho Jose
Freire ; and a decree by which every soldier who shall be
found beyond the advanced posts shall be decreed to be a
deserter. The article of the decree of October 13,1830, by
which a soldier is not deemed a deserter unless he has been
absent from his corps at least 24 hours, is revoked.

papers of Monday, but they are barren of po-
litical news of importance.
The Moniteur contains a Royal ordinance,
announcing that General SEBASTIAN! has re-
sumed his functions as Minister for Foreign

The Duke of ORLEANS is going on a visit
to Brussels to the KING and QUEEN of the
Belgians. This visit is, no doubt, as much an
affair of policy as of courtesy ; for the present
state of the Belgian question renders it expe-
dient that the Governments of France and Bel-
gium should now perfectly understand each other.
It is stated that General ROM ARINO, who so
highly distinguished himself during the revolu-
tion in Poland, has organized a Polish legion,
principally composed of cavalry officers, and is
on the point of sailing for Oporto, to join Don
PEDRO'S army, in which he is to have a high
command. A number of horses and a quantity
of military stores have been sent to Brest, and
will leave at the same time as these brave patriots.
STOCK -EXCHANGE, PARIS, SEPT. 10.—
The market has been more animated than for

BaussEt.s, SEPT. B.—The works at the camp of
Diet are proceeding rapid,y, under the direction of M.
C,mb•er. They are executed by the soldiers cantoned in
the environs. The camp is intended to receive 6,000
men, and will be on an ent,re:y new plan.

re•urns to the city.
It is said that the first distribution of the Cross of the
Order of Leopold will be on the Anniversary of the
" September days."
The first nominations are expected to be of persons
wounded in the revolution.—Brussels Papers, Sept. 9.

There is a si.ory current in the political cir-
cles this morning, that in an interview between
the Speaker of the House of Commons and
Earl GREY, the avowed object of which was to
thank the Premier for the kind expressions used
by Lord ALTHORP in the House when pro-
posing the pension, the Speaker hinted at the
expectation entertained by his friends, that the
usual compliment of the Peerage would be paid,
and that Earl GREY immediately observed, he
would never recommend the KING to confer
the Peerage on a gentleman who had endea-
voured to defeat the chief object of a Cabinet
acting in the KING'S name. We do not vouch
for the correctness of this statement ; but the
truth of it seems to be assumed by some of the
Speaker's friends, for they rail at Earl GREY,
and observe that the services of the Speaker, as
such, entitle him to the Peerage, without re-
gard to his political sentiments. The public at
large, however, will think differently, and
only regret that similar firmness and de-
cision have not always been shown by Earl
GREY. Whatever may have been the conduct
of the Speaker of the House of Commons in
the Chair, which he has so long and so ably
filled, it must not be overlooked that as an Anti-
Reformer, the influence of the Chair was indi-
rectly exercised by him, and that if the cause of
Reform had not been strong indeed, his influence
might have inflicted a severe blow. Besides,
would it not be an insult to the nation on the
part of the Crown, to grant the Peerage to Mr.
MANNERS SUTTON, whilst it is withheld from
honest Reformers, who had been taught to ex-
pect it as their due ?

In the Cork Southern Reporter of Saturday
we find the following paragraph, which refers to
the late distressing tithe conflict between the
Police and peasantry at Castletownroche :
" The flock of the Rev. Mr. GAVAN, in the
parish of Wallstown, which has just got such
a bloody notoriety, consists of one Protestan',
exclusive of the Rev. Pastor's family ; and there
is no church in the parish." This is nothing
new. In the Protestant Establishment, whether
of England or Ireland, it is notorious that those
are always the most lavishly rewarded who do
the least work. The curates, on whose shoul-
ders lies all the drudgery of clerical business, are
paid worse than clerks in a counting-house. The
pluralists, who have nothing to do but eat,
drink, sleep, and cultivate a circumference, re-
ceive a more magnificent allowance than nine
out of ten of the minor German Princes.—
In Ireland this systematic outrage on every
principle of common sense and justice, has been
carried to a degree absolutely beyond belief.—
There, it is no uncommon thing to find a wealthy
RH: XV Ntl' fg,l a€is Viatir,efsihilON ihenitlig;
to preach in, or a congregation to preach to,
yet nevertheless deriving from the hard-earned pit-
tance of his poor Catholic parishioners, an income
exactly proportioned to his utter inutility. In any
other situation of life, such a glaring injustice as
this would not be tolerated an instant; but in the
Irish Protestant Church, even absurdity is con-
secrated, and woe to the unhappy wight who
attempts to divest it of its false halo !
That Ireland has at length become fully
awake to the monstrous iniquity of the
poorest Catholic country in the world being
compelled to support the richest Protestant es-
tablishment in the world, does not in the slightest
degree surprise us ; our only surprise is, that the
discovery has not been made long before. Still
less are we astonished at the fixed resolution of
our neighbours to cast off the burden of this
monstrous establishment ; for it is really not to
be borne. Yet there are individuals—and states-
men too, some of them—who still assert, that
it is consistent with every principle of justice
that Irishmen should be taxed to support the
professors of a religion which they detest ; and
who persist in this assertion, even in the teeth
of experience, which is daily convincing them of
its irrationality. With such men, facts of course
go for nothing, except they favour their own
view of a question ; and it is to this bigotted ob-
stinacy that one half the troubles of Ireland are
now owing.

By the demise of Mr. CHARLES GREVILLE
vacancies have occurred in the offices of Comptroller of
Cash in the Excise (6001. per annum), and Receiver-
General of Cash Taxes (Nottingham), also worth 600/.
per annum. Mr. GREVILLE married Lady CHARLOTTE
BENTINCK, sister to the Duke of PORTLAND, by whom he
has left three sons and one daughter, married to Lord
FRANCIS LEVESON GOWER.

We understand, says the American, that the
Bonds of the State of Louisiana, for 7,000,000 dollars,

WARD, KING, and Co.—American Paper.

DEATH OF A BARRISTER FROM HARD
DRINKING.—Last night an inquest was held at 277, Re-
gent-street, Portland-place, on the body of PATRICK CON-
ROY, Esq., aged 26, a barrister-at-law. Mrs. ELLEN
MlTeitzr.r., of 277, Regent-street, said she had known
the deceased, who resided at 2, Gray's Inn-place, for 14
years. He was a man of strong passions, and when be
gave way to fits of excitement, had been known to drink
off a pint of brandy at a draught. He came to her house
on Monday night, and after he had been there a short
time he event out and bought a bottle of brandy. She
and her friends endeavourtd to prevent him from drinking
it, but he persisted, and he drunk it all in fifteen minutes.
He fell hack in his chair insensible, and on a surgeon be-
ing called in was found to be dead. Mr. Ccarr, of 35,
Castle-street Eiet, surgeon, said that death was caused by
suffocation from the effect of drinking brandy, which pro-
duced apoplexy. Verdict—Death from apoplexy.
This part of the country has wonderfully es-
caped the heavy rains that have been going about, type_
