The conversation in the House of Commons on the subject
of the forged Exchequer Bills has been very freely commented
on today. The delay which has already taken place has been
much censured, and it is thought that if it be the inten-
tion of the Government to refuse relief to the holders of these
documents, it would have been more straightforward to have done
so at once instead of keeping the report back until it was too late
to discuss it, or to bring the subject forward this session. It
is promised next week, if it be possible so to do, and a rumour
is current that the prorogation will take place on the 10th
instant ; if so, it appears likely that the matter must of neces-
sity be dropped.
It is understood that the commercial treaty between this
country and Portugal is now finally arranged, and upon terms
highly advantageous to each. The reductions about to be
made in duties are not exactly known, but they have been as-
' certained to be such as will insure a much greater demand fur
our manufactures. There is another class of persons, whose
claims to relief, it is to be hoped, have not been overlooked,
namely, the English creditors. It has been objected to
the interference of Government in such matters, that
the bargain having been made between individuals, it cannot
be recognised as a national affair ; and it has been urged
in answer that a nation, being the debtor, no sound reason can
exist why such claims should not be made the subject of am-
bassadorial negotiations. This latter view certainly appears to
be more correct. If it be not exactly within the sphere of our
representative there to insist upon payment being made, yet
the opportunity of making such large concessions to the pro-
duce of Portugal might have been used to require that some
particular branch of revenue, or a portion of Custom-house
duties should be set aside, to be divided among the unfortunate
bondholders who have now been so long without a dividend.
This has been done in other States, to the great benefit of the
tarties interested.
