which fonds he afterwards found it convenient to
take back, but in either Case it was a trafficking with
the money raised by the loans which was unjustifiable ;
but Mr. iIOWRING says " No disposal of the Money
or the Bonds of the Loan could take place without the
Concurrence of Mr. HUME, Mr. ELLICE, and. Mr.
LOUG/iNAN.I' Let these Gentlemen, therefore, answer
this part of the charge.
One important fact also comes out by Mr. Bow-
nii4o's letter, which is this ; that the " Greek Depu-
ties were ititist desirous of having a direct power over
the Funds of the Loan, and constantly struggliug
against that salutary controul which the contract pro
vided for," The reason why they were opposed in
this most natural wish receives its solution by the
facts already admitted by Mr. HumE and Mr-
BOWRING.

printed, in pursuance of an order of the House of
Commons, dated May 26, 1826.

British silver money, and the preliminary step to this
operation, by fixing the rate at which the existing
cur
rencies, both metallic and paper, should be exchanged
for the coin to be introduced, gave rise to some strong
Petitions from the freeholders and inhabitants of Cape
Town, and from other parties interested in the rate at
which the paper rix-dollar has been made eitchange'
able at the Cape, viz. ls. 6d. These 'petitions
having been referred by Earl BATHURST to the
Lords of the Treasury, Mr. HERnixs, in a very
