during* (paw of ao years previoos to t 800, the bit-4

upon an average. in favour of the former, by above

only seenust to balance this was the remittance of
apoo,pooL annually to defray the expenses of the po-

country of t.p0.0001. In an arrangement upon this
bead, it would be of importance to know well the
walue,of bullion in exchange between any two na-
don% breath this mull always materially affee the
rate of exchange between them. Now in Ireland, at
ibis moment, and for a confiderable time pall, the
price of guineas. in exchange for their current value

allually paid by fame Gentlemen of his acquaintance,
, for reminisce to this country. Such a Rate of the
' difference between Bank paper and bullion, in the
capital of Imbued, was a lamentable inflance of the
difference of exchange. and urgently pointed to
the neceffity of inveßigatioa, in order, if peffible,
to devife fame remedy. Various mires bad been al-
figned for the evil, but they were all reduceable. to

Rated by an Hon. Gentleman the other night (Sir
John Newport), was the prevalent difpofition to

inconfiderable degree to the dilappearance of gold.

which the evil wu by fonte imputed, namely, the
exceffive iffue of paper from the Bank. It was well
i known. that, at the time, it was thought naceffary
to villain the
cafh Kum from the Bank of Ireland,
the amount of their paper extant was only 600,0001.
the fum of their paper extant, by their lag returns, was
a. 600,0001. of which one million was in notes ander
51. There was every probability that this quantity
mull continue to increafe, as it was now well known,
that the paper of the Bank of Ireland was the Rock
upon which all the private Banks in the kingdom
traded, and in proportion to the quantity of the Na.
clonal Bank paper. the private banker was able to
get into his poileffion, he was enabled to iffue his
own paper (which he war bound to pay in National
Bank paper) to a much more confiderable amount;
according to the principle of banking Rated by lime
writers, in the ratio of three pounds for one, fo that

mote they increafe their trade, the greater become. the

any evil of which it may be the caufe. Having thus
Rated the fitoation of credit in the country at large,
no man, he Paid, ever prefumed to call in queßion
the undoubted validity of the National Bank of Ire-
land, therefore no inconvenience was ultimately to
be apprehended from any portion of the paper which

had not yet been touched on by any perfon in

begged leave to call the attention of the Houfe. In
the commercial intercourfc between this country
and Scotland, and almoil every other branch of the
empire, Cave Ireland, there were two fpecies of cir-
culating medium, equally current, namely, gold, and
the Bank of England notes. When the dues of gold
