COUNTS FROM THE SELECT COMMITTEE ON THE

HIGH PRICE GOLD, BULLION.
' .

{Comi.meed from l';:lieretty.l
If the gold coin of the country were at any
time to become 'very much worn and lesened
In 'weight, or if it should suffer. a Ali basement

of its standard,, it is evident that there would

be a proportionable rise of the market price of gold
.bullion above its Mint price : for the. Mint price i 9
the sum in cal), which is .equiValent in intrinsic
value to a given quantity, an ounce for example, of

the metal intullion ; and it the intrinsic value of

sun of coin be lessened, it is eq livaleut to a
less quantity of bullion than before. The Same rise

of the market. price of. gold above its Mint prke

take place,. if.the local currency of this• papicti-
'4i-country, being.no lonvr -cnnvertibi::! Ir:' MM gold,
41ould'a,t any time be is-tt:!cl to eites4:

cess cannot 1).-e•ekported to other cottinrie, Hhil,• not
heing.Convertible into: specie, it is not necessarily
returneci, upon those who issued it
the channel of circulation, and _is V gradually ab•

sorbed by increasing the prices of all commtditiel.
An increase in thequantity of the loCji currency of
a particular country, will raise -prices in that coun-
try exactly in the Same manner as an increase in the
general supply of precious metals 'raises 'prices all
over the world. By means of theincrt;ase ofqtran-
tity, the value of,a given portion of that circulating

medium, in exchatTge for other commodities,--is
lowered; in other words, the money prices of, all

other commodities are raised, and that of bullion
.with the rest. In this manner, an excess of the

local currency of a particular country will oecasioti a
rise in the market price of gold above its Mint
price. It no less evident, that, in the event of
the prices of commocttids being raised in one cowl•
try by an augmentation of its circulating medium,
while no similar augmentation in the- circulating
medium of a neighbouring country, has led to a si-
milar rise of prices; the currencies of thOse- two

countries will no longer continue to bear the same
relltire value to each other as before. The intrin•

sic value of a given portion of the one currency be
g- lessened, while that of the other remains unal-
tered,- the exchange will be computed between
those two countries to the disadvautage of the

former.
In this manner, a general rise of all prices, arise
in the Market price. of gold, and a falt of the foreign
exchanges, -will be the efrift of an excessive qe.an-
tity of circulating medium in a country which has
adopted a currency, not exportable to. other conn-
nies, -or not convertible at will into a coin which is.
exportable.
- H. Yotiftommitte are thus led-to the next head
of their inquiry; the present state'of the exchanges
between this country and the Continent. And
here, as under the former head, your Commitee
will first state the opiniats which they have receivect
from practical men, respecting _the causes ot the
present state of the exchange,
Mr. Greflulhe, a general merchant, trading:chiefly
to the Continent, ascribed the fall of exchange be-
tween London and Harnburgh, near 1 8 per cent.
below par, in •the year 180 g, " altogether to the
commercial situation of this country with the Con-
tinent; to the circumstance o( the imports, and
payments of subsidies, &c. having very much ex-
ceeded the exports." /de stated, howeter,- that he
formed his judgment of the balance of trade in 'a'
great measure from the state of the exchange itself,
though it was corroborated by what fell under his
observation. He insisted particularly on the large
imports from the Baltic, -and the wines and brandies
brought from France, in return :f4 Which no mer...
chandize had been exported from this country. He
observed on the other hand, thzt the export of co.
lonia' produce to the Contihent had increased in the
last:year compared with tornier years; and tliat duri.
ing the last year there was an excess, to a consider-
able amount, of the exports of colonial produce and
13ritish manufactures to Holland above the importa
from thence, but not nearly equal, he thought, to
the excess of imports from other -partsof the world,
judging . trom the state of the eXchangi as well as
from what fell generally under his observation:-=-
He afterwards explained, that it was not strictly the
balance of trade, but the balance of payments, be=
ing unfavourable to this country, which he at
signed
,as the principal -cause of the rate of ex..
change ; observing also, that The balance of 'pay-
ments for the' year may' be against us, while the
general exports exceed the imports. He gave
it as his opinion, that the cause of the present state
of exchange was entirely commercial, with ilre ad-
. .dition of the foreign -expenditure of Government ;
and that an -excess of imports above exeorts would
account for the rates of exchange conl inning sohigli
as t 6 per cent. against this country, •for a perma-
nent period of rtime.
It will be found in the -evidenee,, that several
other witnesses agree in substance with Mr. Greif-
'tribe, in this explanation of the unfavourable state
of the exchange ; particularly Mr. Chamsers and
Mr. Coningharn.
Sir Francis baring stated to-the Committee, That
he considered- tite two great cireumstanct.s 'which
atfeet the exchange in its present unfavourable state,.
to' be the restrietions upon trade with the Conti-
nent, and the increased circultition of this country in
paper as produclive ot the scarcity of bullion. And
he instanced, as examples of a contrary state of
things,• the seven years war, and the American war,
in which there were the Same remittances to -make
to the Continent for naval and military expenditure,
yet no want of bullion was ever felt.
The Committee likewise examined Avery eminent

ontinental merchant, whose evidence will be
tr rand to contain a variety of. valuable information.
That Gentleman states, that the exchange cannot
fall in any country in Europe at the present time,
if computed in coin of a definitive value, or in some-
thing convertible into such coin, lower than the ex-
tent of the charge of transporting it, together with
an adequate profit in proportion to the risk attend-
ing such transmission. He conceives, that such tail
of our;exchange as has exceeded. that, extent in the
last 15 months, must certainly, be referred to the
circumstance of our paper currency not being com-
a ectible into specie ; and that it that paper had been
so convertible, and guineas had been in general cir-
culation, an unfavourable balance of trade could
hardly liae caused so great a.fall in the exchange as
to the extent of sor 6 per cent. He explains , his
opinion upon the subjea more specifically in the
follOwing.,answers, hicb are extracted from dif-
ferent parts of his evidence.
' " To what causes do,you ascribe the preSent un.-.
favourable course of exchange ? The first great•de-
preciation took place when the French got posses-
sion of the North of Germany, and passed severe
penal dectees against a communication with this
country; at the. Same time that a sequestration was
laid upon all English goods and,propetty, whilst the
payments for English account were still • to
.be
made, and the. reimbursements to be taken on
this courdry ; many mote bills mere in conse-
quence to be sold than could be taken • by per-
sons requiting to make payments in England. The
comMuoic rion by letters being also very_ difficult
and uncertain, middle men were not to be found,
as in usual times, to purchase and send such bills to
England for returns; whilst no suit at law could be
insi!uted in the Courts of JustiCe there against any
person who chose to-resist payment of a 'returned
bill, or to dispule the charges of re"-exchange.
"Whilst those causes depressed the exchange, pay-.
ments due to England only came round at distant
periods; the exchange once lowered by those cir-
cumstances, and bulliodbeing withheld in England
to make up those occasional differences, the opera-
tions between this country ar.d the Continent have
continued .at :a low rate, as it is only
.matter of opi-
nion what-rate a pound sterling is there' to be %,a=
lued at, not being able to obtain what it is, meant
to
.represent."
The exchange against England Ilualuating from
to 20 per cent. how much of that loss may be• as-
cribed. to the etfeCt of the Measures taken by the
enemy in the North of Germany, and the interrup-
tion of intercourse which has been the result, and
bow much to the erred of the Bank of England
piper not being convertible into cash, to which you
have ascribed a part of that depreciation ascribe
the whole of the depreciation to have taken place
originally, in consequence of the measures. Of the
enemy, and its not having recovered, to the circum-
stance of the paper of England not being exchange..
able for cash.",

THURSDAY, AUGUST 16, 1810.

The following most extraordinary pnd unexpeeted
Decree, said to have been issued by BUONAPARTE,
was brought over by a vessel which arrived yester-
day from France. We call it ektraordinary, because
it is a complete renunciation of the principles upon
which he.has-for some time aCted,_ and an unequi-
vocal acknowledgment that they were in their effe&
much .more injurious to France than they were to
Great Britain.
