be that which most natimilly. suggested Itself under

which !rad been adopted 14 the Neble Lo.d, who
was the cause Of this measure being introduced, and
still less could he have supposed it would be resort-
ed to by a person of Lord,King's rank and charae-

would however, at least, gtve time to persons to con-

to a currency convertible at pleaSureinto cash, and
lie hoped every practicable retrenchment would
be made in the public expenditure of the country.
Lord Cocoa At 4 e said, no docking Of the branches

Vessel that conveyed goods to Tottiugal, Spain, or
Sicily, to hi, knowledge,

supported in this traffic by the depreciated state' of
our cortency. A merchant receiving bullion for
his goods at any one of the-places he had named,

He attributed the evil to the manner in

Lord COCUrtANR resumed. He explained:Why he
'fiatijnought the übjects to which he had adverted
etirinettel with the question. He then proceeded
to' spe4lt of the general conduft.of the war, and as.

then went on to state what Buonaparte wotild-do if

Honourable Friend next him (Mr. Sheridan) did
not take up the s'ubje6t, as he would much rather
have attended to him than undertaken the task him-
self. After taking a review of all the nie&;ttres
adopted by 'Parliament on this held, from tlie.y.:ar
1707, -which protessed to be temporary, but K ere
in point, of Ta6t of 14 years standing, lie want :into
set eral calculations for the purpose of shtwing`that
the. Bank was not in want of cash, being at least in
the possession of 35 miliions, which only rtquirccl
proper measures to bring them iota' ciredlAtion.
He remembered an expres-ion of his flight Ho.
limitable Friends with respect to the 13411 k of Eng;
land; after alt the splendid hoists it had Wilde,
that " Brag was a gond dog, but. Hold-fist was
better." The': best course, in his opinion, under
all the circumstances, would he, to let the matter
rest, and he"hoped the Bill would lie otter to atio.
thet-Session.

Mr. Stilittil,AN said, he should certainly trespass
but for a few minutes on.the attention of the House,
at the same time he should not enter into any con-
traCl for accepting. a signal, vocal or otherwise, as a
warning by which he should be bound. His I-lon.
Friend had recolleded a loolish joke of his, without
recollecting at the same.time .the application. The
occasion upon which be (Mr. Sheridan) had made
use of it was, when .111 r. Pitt, after an investi-
gation by a Committee in:o the stale of the Bank,
for the purpose of ascertaining whether they were
able to pay, applauded and exulted in the woof of
their ability, but alleged at the same that there
were political reasons agaitist the adoption of the
principle. It-was on thiti inconsistency that he had
ventured to mention the homely but significant ad.
age that ." Brag was a good dog, but Hold-tot
was. better." He begged it to be understood
that he had never meant to apidaud the, con-
dud of Hold-fast. His Honourable Friend had
expressed a wish that he (Mr. Sheridan) had saved
him' the trouble of coming forward :- but as his
speech did not appear Illefi-,:ient either in argument
or decoration, be could sot see upon what ground
'such a wish could be' expressed. He had another
reason beside this for being rat ,er surprised at it,
and this reason was, that he entirely daered from
his Hon. Friend in hiti view of therquesiion.
Un-
doubtedly it was a proof of the !iisinterested feel-
ings that guided his Hon. Friend. For his own
part he was anxious, before the Bank was eilled
upon for cash payments, to understand that it
.was
not the same thing as to call .upon the, House to
give up the contest upon which it was
.engaged.-,-
Nothing,Could be more unjust than while; they, re.
strided the Bank of England fiem cash payments,
to leaVe the tenant at the mercy of the landholders .
The country, banks, he concluded, .would certainly
be ruined, and he left it to:themselves to conceive
in what manner that might affed the commercial
interests of the country. He ridiculed the prophe-
eies of bankruptcy, &c. appealing
,to the state of the
country, as a proof that the enormous income with
which She supplied the Government *ere not wrung
froth her distresses. He: held it to be extraord't-
narY, that upon either side of such a question as
this, there should be such a conviction, that (he other
tide was wrolig,ss to encourage any ferocious party
Spirit. The question did not admit of such peremp-
tory decision. He did not think he should even
agree to make Bank 'notes a legal tender, but,lioped
that they would be able to come back to the old
system, without resorting to .such a step. To him
it' was no mortifying refleaion, that the gold' which
was essential to the existence of other countries
should. be so easily dispenied with in this. • rlt
was a preof.of our, credit and resources, and ‘ithat•
ever duradvantlage might be supposed to fellow
from it, he would ask what other nation could
do the save. He did not wish to risk the advan-
tages we possessed, or to do any thing rashly or pre!'
maturely.
. Sir V. BURDETT maintained that the evil arose'
from the excessive issue of paper, andoould wily be
`relieved by its limitatio). He defended the .con.
duct of Lord King, and reprobated the funding sys..
tein as an expedient that must necessarily emit).
gnish itseat.. '

Mr. A. BAnttao deprecated the opinions of the
Hon. Baronet, which he tijought the country would
not follow, until he could produce some proof .that
there was some cause for 'them. He recommended
the reduction of the:expellees of , the Government,
but insisted that the state of the public finances and
debt were recoverable as they stood. at present.
The funding
.system, he argued, was adapted to
wars of short duration,. but any one looking at the
• country, must be inclined to pronounce the last
three yearS years of great prosperity. Notwitlt-
standing the horror expressed by some against the
adoption of such a. course, the plain and simplere-
tnedy appeared to him to be, that' of Making Bank'
notes a legal tender.

Sir SAiilit RUMILL.Y declared, that having voted
against the Bill in all its stages, he had waited till
this late hour, in the hopes that some of the'Hon.
and Learned Gentlemen Would have declared their
sentiments upon a measure so pregnant with in-
fringements on the laws of the land.. The Bill, in
.141, was.one which had for its objeat on alteration
of the contrails of men ; it' was an ex post facto
law ; and though the necessities of the State might
require it, nevertheless it was what he -bad stated,
The Hon. Gentletnan'early in the debate had ex
pres‘ed4 hope that 'some of the Law Officers would
have stated the law, for at present men were left in
doubt. There was nothing more misehieveus than
to make premit,ent the detects of the law by new
reMedies. .45 the law at present stood, it was pro-
vided, that no person should be liable to arrest or
mesne proms, if he tendered to his creditor the amotmt
of his debt in Batik notes; The remedy which was
aepayitly •opereto the debtor, if he did not pay -in
gold, was,_ by carrying a much greater number of
Bank notes, of the same nominal value to market,
to p'ay his debt, or he must be immured in prison:
for life: His 'tight Hon. Friend, therefore; it he
meant to give effeitual remedy, must make Bank •
notes a legal' tender infinitely. With re.ipeal to the.
innovarioes upon th©. Established laws, he wished
to kilo w if the Law Qtficets had consulted - the.
Judges, beotuse when he brpught in his Bill to mt.
plain and amend the Criminal that was main-
ly objected to. him, viz. that he wished to make all
itincivaticin on the law, without consulting .the
Judges. The'grear Objeetions which were to rite
were those fie had principally stated, anti tbero-
.

,speech of his Right Hon; Friend t Mr.. Sheri-

hand,' not having ai corately looked at the'subiett.
He certainly ,supported llie 11111, conceiving that it
*01)1(1:1hLince the Batik to resume their payments in
cash. , indeed, in the Bullion CoMmittee, a more
'sterling itiend they had not. , (Mr. S. observed he,
.never said a word). True, said Mr. T. thedelibe-,
rations of the Committee were at an hour too early
for my 'Right Hon. Friend, but notwitlistandieg,
he coneuried in all . tle.t was done. In the pro-,
phecies which, lie had made froth year to year for
four years, down to 09:2; of the downfal of the re-
s.urces of the country, tie had failed, for up to this
period they were, according to his speech of this
tsening, in a fluerishing state. The fa&, how-
ever, was ,otherwise, for the commerce was at a
stand, the revenue giving way, and, the Consolidated'
Fund last year had a deficiency of nearly 800)0001.
and the three last 'quarters. the deficiency was
1,800,0001. The Right Hon. Gent. then concluded,
that the power which the Bill would give to the,
flank was dangerous, and he lamented that any of
the Bank Directors should be found to give their
_countenance to it, The idea of compelling tiaO
people to take Bank paper was horrible, 'when the
difficulties of the country were so greSt, that it could
'not afford relief to tenants, nor secure landlords :
that while the law stands as it dOeS in Ireland, no-
thing can ,prevent a person from sending his 'gni-
fieas over there, and. obtaining

,return_as,.
each in Bank notes.. It had been said that .it was
necessary to carry on the war in the Peninsula—why
so it might ; but ,are the people of Spain disposed to
'Sacrifice as much as those of England ? if nut,. he,
could not consent in any Such war, to overiliroW
the public credit in England. If it was intended td
brighten up the finances, and to make the enemy
believe that they were .unexhaustecl, that was done
already, by the resolution passed three Months ago,
that Banknotes were eqUivalent:tosguipertv.
Mr. 'SHERIDAN denied that he had ever despaired
of the fesources or the country. With resped to
his vote in the Bullion Committee, that be had given
conscientiously; but if •he had had the misfortune
even to hive heard his Right Honourable Friend's
speeches, be did not think they would have awed
• that vote. His Right Hon. Friend seemed to think
that the finances of the country were 'gone, and
Buonapartet therefore, was more generormi fer he
`allowed that they, would stand ter, years, ./-,11,3 la-
mented that the House was not in a Committee*, tor
then he could have, confuted all his Right lieu.
