SOLER Quin DICERE raLsual diuDnAr,

LONDON,
TUESDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 21, 1826.

The Committal of the Promissory Notes Bill
in the House of Commons last night, gave an op-
portunity to time CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
to propose his amendment, and state his rea-
sons for abandoning the original Resolution. It
"ill be remembered that the original Resolu-

tjn ,was,

" That it is the opinion of this Committee, that the notes [ofl
" the Dank of England end] of Provincial Banks under 5!.,
" which shall have been stamped and were in circulation on
the sth of Eebruary, 1826, shall he allowed to circulate
" until fult April, 1826, and no longer."
At the time this Resolution was under discus-
sion, a proposition was made to leave out the
words printed above within brackets and in
italics. This proposal was resisted by Ministers.
The alteration proposed by the CHAN() ELLott
last night was to :permit the Bank of England to
continue issuing 11. and 21. notes, until the 10th
of October, 18261
When this measure was first introduced, 11Ii.
nisters boldly announced, that a metallic currency
was alone calculated to prevent a recurrence
of the evils under which the country labours; and
on this ground the whole Parliamentary strength
of the Administration was employed to resist an
amendment, the very principle of which they af.
terwaras come down and propose to adopt.
What is the reason for this speedy change of
opinion ? In answer, hear what Mr. CANNINQ
said :--

" As bad been predicted by the lion. Members for Taunton
aad Wareham (Messrs. Baring and Calcraft), the bankers in
many parts of the country bad taken that course which he had
believed in good faith, as well as in good policy, they would
not adopt ; and reports were coming in from all quarters stating
that they were acting upon the principal of suddenly.and most
materially contracting their issues. Now it was the imperative
duty of Government to consider what would be the effect of this
sudden and complete withdrawal of all the one and two-pound
notes in circulation throughout the country. On Wednesday.
Thursday, and Friday last, accounts had been constantly,
and they still continued coming ; and what was felt
already, in consequence of these measures, shored sufficiently
what the case would be, if the same course was persisted in,
144 permitted to go on. Then it stood quite clear, that there
has no remedy for this, unless gold could at once be found
%which nobody pretendedcould be done) in sufficient quantity
to fill up the vacumn—no remedy but that which was proposed
by the present measure, viz., to allow the Bank of England to
go on issuing lt. and 21;notes."
Ili. short, because the Country Bankers had, In
opposition At it were to Government) suddenly
.contracted their issues; and the demand for gold
