IMPERIAL P,ARLIMENI.

HOUSE OF PEERS.
THURSDAY, TEIIItUAR.Y 17.

IT was ordered that the Report from the Judges
relative to Private Petitions be received after the
24. th of March.
Lord KING WAS sworn, and took his seat.
After some time had elapsed, Lord PELHAM en-
tered the House, and soon after moved for the first
reading of the

BANK. RESTRICTION BILL.
After the title of the Bill was read, and pre-
viously to the reading of the breviate,
Lora KING rose and said a very few words, the
purport of which we were unable to coiled.
The breviate was then read in the usual way.

Lord AUCKLAND observed, that previous to
any discussion upon the subjea, he should have to
trouble their Lordships with a motion. It was
merely to bring forward some information on the
subject, which in the first instance, he thought ne-
cessary, and was merely that which was faunally
laid before the other House of Parliament. He.
then read the Motion, the substance of which,
as we could coiled, was, to have laid before the
House an account of the number of outstanding
Bank of England Notes, on the first days of the
months of June, July, August, and Pdaber last,
and of the present month, distinguishing the num-
ber, &c. of those Notes which were under the sum
of 51. He wished, he said, to have this informae
tion before the House, not that for his own part
he should deem it necessary to refer to it, but if un,
expededly the Bill should become the subject of
hostile discussion, it might then be proper; and it
was obvious the thocument could not be regularly
referred to, were it not on the Table. His Lord.
ship then regularly proposed die Motion.
The Earl of MOIR 4 then rose, and, in a Speech
of some length, delivered his sentiments, not only
upon the subject regularly before the House, but
upon several points, which he conceived ma,
terially conneded with it. The leading points
urged by the Noble Earl, were to the following
efied : he observed, that perhaps there never was a
measure before the House, which more loudly called
for discussion, or for explanation on the part of Mi.
nisters, than that in question ;—it deserved the most
serious and deliberate consideration. The propos'.
tion appealed to him to have proceeded either from
an application from the Bank, in the first in.
stance, as a political measure of the Government,
or, as the result of an accommodation compad be-
tween
„both parties : in some of these views, he
consid4s . the proceeding as a strong, if not a yin,
lent in`es -settee, with respect to private property
,li.
and indiv4ual transactions. He hoped that Mini.
sters woinet not consider the present as a Bill on
which, like some others, they could come down and
move for its second reading as a matter of course.
He hoped, that a reasonably distant period would
be proposed for the full and deliberate discussion of
the measure. Were the continuation proposed in
consequence of an application from the Bank, he
thought that Body should come forward and make
out a case sufficiently strong to entitle them to it ;
I were it- merely a measure of Government, the same
condoel was necessary on the part of Ministers. In
his view of the subject, the measure ut best seemed
to him to be unnecessary, and, in many points of
view, injurious. It must be obvious to every one,
that, from a variety of circumstances, the Bank, as
well as the Country, must be in a more favourable
and prosperous situation now than it has been for
some time past ; therefore, what might once Piave
been expedient or necessary, may not be so now,
lie understood one of the leading arguments in
favour of the toeaspre was, the unfavourable state
of the Exchange. 'On this point he differed most
essentially from Ministers. In his opinion, which
was decided upon the point, it was the continuance
of the Restridion that caused the unfavourable
state of the Exchange. In illustration of this posi.
Lion, the Noble Earl put a hypothetical case, name.
ly, that of a pewit at Hamburgh 'wishing to cash a
Dank Bill, who, on its being urged against him
that tool. or too guineas, in hard cash, could not
be obtained for it when sent tO London, could with
„.
the less propriety rensonstrate against a high rate of
Exchange. Viewing the measure in the possible light
oleo accommodation between the Bank and Govern.
ment, it must, be considered, to arise from a compact,
that in return for Government's having accommodat.
ed the Bank, the former would take care the creditors
of the latter should not come tyon them for specie.
Were this the case, the measure was censurable in
the highest degree. His Lordship then adverted to
the general financial circumstances of the country,
and to certain parts of the condud of Ministers in
edministering them, which he seemed highly to
diseprove of, He particularly dwelt upon the
measures adopted with respeet to loans upon Ex.
chNeer Bills ; these, in a great degree, he con.
hid... Tel as Ministerial manoeuvres, for the sake a
a telpporary triumph, to avoid the negotiation of
a reaelar Loan. This mode, notwithstanding the
temporary ease it afforded, was the more injurious
to the country, as by it Ministers broke in upon-
aed anticipeted one of the best resources of the
Country, in 'lmes of sudden emergency. At pre-
sent, he conceived the market to be overstocked
with this species of debentures : the relief it afforded
was purely a fiditiotis one. The condu4 of Mini.
stets in former years was sufficiently 'reprehensible,
but in the present year very much so. The Loans
on Exchequer Bills of last year, as he recollect_
ed, did not exceed 5,500,0cd01. In the present,
the Bills in circulation in a variety of ways,
amounted to nearly three times that sum. Ile then
adverted and dwelt upon the growing' Surplus of
the Consolidated Fund, and expatiated upon what
had been, and what might have been, the conducq
of Mmisters, with seven: to that engine of iii.
name. La illustrating these parts of his argo.
ment, the Noble Earl entered into a variety
of financial details and calculations, which sooner
than hazard the chance of mistake; or usicost.
scious tnisrtresentation, we decline attempting to
follow. He observed, that Ministers were recently
much in the habits of eXpatiating upon th.e 'un-
precedented voile:sous state 9f our Cortirnetf.

and increasing wealth, which he must say, the
measure now proposed in a great degree con-
tradided. In the course of his speech, the Noble
Earl recited a string of Motions, which he
meant to propose, as essentially necessary for the
due illustration and understanding of the subject be.
fore the House. Some of the first of these respeded
the circumstances and pecuniary situation of the
Bank ; they were similar, he observed, to those
ordered by the House on the original discussion of
the subject, and when it was under the review of
Committees of both Houses of Parliament. He
thought that, in every view of the subject, full
information should be laid before the House, in
order to justify themselves to the Country, for
ucceding to a measure which, he repeated, was at
best unnecessary, and in every shape questionable.
He then regularly proposed the Motion for the
first Document among those he hid adverted to.
On the question being put,
Lord PELHAM rose, and observed that the
Noble Earl, in whatever view he might consider
the general tenor of his observations, had spoken
fairly out, and was so far entitled to praise on the
score of candour ; for his own part, he should be
as explicit ; and first he observed, with respeEt to
the suggestions of the Noble Earl, as to the grounds
of the measure now before the House, it was by
no means proposed at the instance, or in conse-
quence of the application of the Bank. It was
purely a measure of Government ; His Majesty's
Minister's, under all the circumstances of the case,
having deemed it advisable to propose a continuance
of the Restridion on the payment in specie at the
Bank. He could with equal truth assure the Noble
Earl that it was neither the result of any compact nor
connivance between Government and the Corpora-
tion in question, but proceeded bona fide on the
grounds he had stated. With resped to following
the Noble Earl, even in his observations upon
the subject regularly before the House, it was not
his intention, as the information called for at either
side of the House, was not yet before them. The
second reading of the Bill would afford a regular
opportunity, and the attendance, in all probability,
would be fuller than at present. Other points ad-
verted to by the Noble Earl, were obviously un-
conneeted with the regular subject of discussion. A
few observations however, in the present instance,
he. felt himself called upon to make. The Noble
Earl had frequently alluded to•the unfavourable state
of the Exchange, and seemed to assert that that cir.
cumstanec was in consequence of the Restriction.
The recolledion of the plain fads would overthrow
this position—their Lordships would doubtless re.
called generally, as he was not then able to speak
particularly as to dates, &c. that at the time that
very necessary and salutary measure first commenced
by the Order of Council, and soon 'afterwards ten-
dered a LegiSlative provision, and indeed for some
years after, the Course of Exchange was favour.
able to this country, and that it was not until these
. latter years of Scarcity, when it was necessary to
send specie and bullion out of the country to pro.
cure supplies of Corn, that the Exchange became
unfavourable to Gxeat Britain. With res Peta to
these Motions, the tenor of which seemed at least
to call the validity of the Bank in question, he felt
it his duty to oppose them; they were at best
unnecessary. The inquiry in the ftrav instance
proved the strength and stability of the Bank,
and its power and inclination to meet and answer
abundantly, all demands whatever agsinst it.—
Surely, then, on the ground taken by the Noble
Earl himself, who had 'repeatedly insisted that the
Bank was now in more favourable and prosperous
circumstances than at the tirpe when the measote
was originally proposed, the production of such
Papers must be totally unnecessary. In short, such
a proceeding could not possibly be prodoCtive of
any good effects, whatever it may of a contrary
nature, To some of the others, when modified,
so as to be rendered predicable, or less trouble to
those who were to be concerned in furnishing, or
making up the Accounts, the Noble Secretary of
State seemed to entertain no objection.
Lord AUCKL /IND followed on the same side,
and displayed his usual talents and financial amine-
tion in support of what had been urged by his Noble
Friend. He objeded to the motions in question,
precisely on the same grounds. They were at best
unnecessary, as the farmer inquiry afforded full
proof of the validity of the Bank, ittlid its 'ample
powers to discharge all claims upon it. He did
not affe4 to speak particularly, but the'result of the
Inquiry was, taking them in round sums, 'that the
outstanding notes and claims upon the BAnk, amount.
ed to about 13,000,0001. that its assets were
17,000,0001. independent of the debt of eleven
millions for which GoVernment was responsible to
them. In consequence of this appearing, every
man in the country was easy .on that score ; the
general anxiety was at once telieved, The Noble
Earl even insisted that the situation of the Bank was
since- greatly • ameliorated. -Then why institute
on inquiry 'ln addition'to what had fallen from his
'Noble Friend, es to the, causes Of an unfavourable
Course of El:chime, he had to suggest, that the Forge
remittances of cash in yariousavays, as payment of
Subsidies in particular, amounting to an aggregate of
between ao and 4.6 millions, in a great tieteree con-
tributed to it—these remittances (so we understood
his Lordship) were not yet wholly made•—athose
pecuniary accounts were not yet .quite wound up:
when they were joined to the cOnSideration of the
growing commercial property and increasing wealth
of the coentry, there was every reason to suppose
the Course of Exchange would ream to its 'accus.
touted favourable course.
A sort of explanatory conversation then ensued
between the Earl of Willa, Lords Pef.naost and
Aucita.mso and the LORD CHANCELLOR, in the
course of which the Noble Earl declared,, he was
oat tenacious nf his two first Motions, and had no
thoughts of pressing tom division upon them. On
thesetha question was afterwatds put, when they
were negatived by the House. The others, which
respected the Course of ExChatige, at given pe.
Hods between this Country 'and Hamburgh, the
innot;nt of the issue, or outstanding Notes, 'on the
7sth day of every month in the last year, and on
the other topics relative 'to tie subjed before the
House, were eithe; agreed to, or, in consequ• ence
ofsome eatiefadory explanations given by the I•lublc
secretary of 6tatek vrttlalrawn ba, thf Noble Earl. -

The Documents moved for by Lord AucKLA"
were ordered accordingly.
Lord PELII.IIII gave notice, that he should to-
morrow propose, that the second reading of the
Bill should be fixed for 111onddy ; and at the S3IIIC
time observed, that he should be prepared (so we
understood his Lordship; with the information he
alluded to in the above conversation, which, k
trusted, would obviate many of the doubts of the
Noble Earl.
Some Accounts were presented from the Corn.

an Adjournment took place.
