[MORNING HERALD.]

~ast night, the Earl of Liverpool, in the
,ouse of Lords, and the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer in the House of Commons, in the course
of the discussions that took place in each House,
on the Banking System, the Scotch Paper Cur.
rency, &c., said that they would severally move
for Committees to enquire into the Banking Sys-
tern of Ireland and Scotland, and thus afford
the petitioners, of Scotland in particular, the
opportunity of proving the truth of their alle-
gations. Mr. A bercromby denied that the
petitions spoke the sense of Scotland—they only
' urged the sentiments of Select Committees ;
and he observed, that well as he knew his court-
tryznen, he eras surprised at the umblushing
confidence with which the petitions and the sen-
timents of them were urged ! Tie added that
the best portion of the press, of Scotland in par-
ticular, on this question, supported the cause of
truth and the suppression of one pound notes.
Mr. W. Dundas, Mr. H. Drummond, &c. con-
tended-that the petitions did speak the language
of Scotland ; that the people there were unani-
mously against alteration ; and they were sur-
prised how any lion. and Learned Member could
with unblushing confidence assert the contrary.

[TUC PUBLIC Ltnocit.l
The French Papers, as well as the German
Journals which reached us yesterday, gave a more
favourable account of the state of trade on the
Continent generally, than they had given for a
long lime before. Confidence has begun to re-
vive every where ; and we may therefore congra-
tulate our commercial readers upon the speedy
revival of foreign trade in all its branches. Our
own resources are undiminished, as the Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer has proved to the
satisfaction of every one whose mind is not
warped by the grossest prejudices, in the lumi-
nous, candid, and üble statement he gave on
Monday night. That speech must make as salu-
tary an impression upon the country at large, as
it proved satisfactory to the House of Commons :
and when the Public learn how trilling the
amount of injury is, as compared to the violence
of the late shock, they will be better able to ap-
preciate the national stamina, and will look to
the future with much greater confidence. That
Expo.e, when sufficient time is allowed for di»
Besting it, will be the subject of universal con-
gratulation, as it triumphantly proves that
there is no concussion, however violent, that
can materially affect the credit of this great
1 country. Instead of retrograding, therefore,
in the career of national prosperity, we may ex-
pect to continue our course forward with unabated
vigour ; and there is no part of the Right lion.
Gentleman's speech in which we so heartily con-
cur, as where he expresses his confidence in the
stability of our national resources. Indeed,
we cannot understand upon what grounds
any one can come at a different conclusion.
The genius of improvement is more active
every clay, and useful knowledge is ad-
wincing rapidly ; whilst, to crown the whole,
the care of the public interests is confided to as
tutelary a Government as ever existed in this or
any other country. To say, that under these
favourable circumstance*, our, prosperity, as a
nation, should not increase, would be a perfect
solecism in reasoning ; and to attempt to raise an
alarm in the public mind, to our future situation,
can only proceed from a total want, either of
right feeling, or of clear perception. Or it would
betray an inordinate love of paradox, which never
yet was associated in the same mind with a clear
and comprehensive judgment.

[Tilt REPRPENTATIVE.3
The French Chambers on the 11th were not
occupied with any thing of importance. In tire'
Deputies', they were employed about petitions
from various individuals, among which two only
excited any interest. One of them required a
regulation of the Game Laws, so as to prohibit
the universal currying of arms, which, the peti-
tion declared, ruined the game. In the debate on
this petition, M. Purnarin said, that the privl.
lege of carrying arms universally was owing to a
regulation under Buonaparte, and the Haase
seemed to be so impressed with the propriety
of calling him Napoleon, that they burst out
laughing. The business, after very little debating,
wee referred to the Minister of 111,e interior.—
The only other question of interest arose from
a petition against the Lottery. The French lot-
teries are quite different from ours, and from
their offspring the possibility of risking stakes of
all kinds, high and low, are much more decidedly
