life, or lives, with the names of the perf(als
in the fame.—Drdered to lie tquai the table.
The fame Member, in the abfcnce of the Chan.
'celtor of the Exchequer, gave nonce that he
fhould, to morrow, in the Committee of Supply,
niove•a grant of s futn of Money to his Majck•
tiir. Naval Services.

PANE OF ENGLAND.
Mr. ROasou raid die rod to move that the nrcper
officers might be direCted to lay before the 'Houle •
an. account. of all fumy of money received by dig
Bank of England for intereft of Notes difcountea
or given for money advanced to different perroas
by the Direftors finer the period when the Bank
cearedpaYing its notes in Ipecie. if there wa.
any -.)bjeatott to tbis motion, or if it was not
confidered wholly a matter of courre to aceetle
to it, he .ftiauld molt readily pollpone it till .s..
morrow.
Mr. VANSITTAIT faid, he was not aware of
any ohjeOion to the'notice. He withed, however,
the Honourable Member would Rate the. object
of it, and for what purpcie .he required the in-
formation.
Mr. Reunite replied, be meant upon the officit
return to the order of the H.ourefor the account
to ground a motion rerpeaing the Bank-of Eng-
land. If. he was rightly informed, the Bank had
obtained an annual profit of from 3 to 400,00c1.
fine the period when the fituation of. affairs ren-
dered it neceffary Ace adopt no other Jitedium of
exchange with the public than its own notes. The
grofs fum the Directors had received for intereft
for bills dircounted with their own note.,_ fence the
Bank had ftopped paynient, amounted to no lefs ,
than one million and a half.. This he confidered
a Cum which the Directors had no right to appro-
priate to themfelves. In confeqttence of the Bank •
Indemnity Bill the Dircaors tvere enabled to iffue :
their notes to any amount, and therefore if there
was the advantage he had Rated arifing from
paper currency, it was but kilt the public IhouL
participate in it. The objeft of his motion would
be, that the public might receive a portion of the
• benefit the Bank derived from the intcreft of their
notes advanced as oath, which they were enabled
• M iffue to an unlimited extent. He was pertnad.,
ed it never could have been the intention of Go- •
vernment that the Bank of England ihould con-
vert a public misfortune into a fonrce of pecuniary
advantage.
Mr. METCALF thought the Honourable bent.
ber to blame inflating, that the Bank of England
had flopped payment—he aftertcd it never had
flopped payment. He conceived it a Vey ft-
lions matter indeed for the Houfe_ of Commons
to entertain any-motion, the balls of which was
an affumptiorr that the Bank of England had
• flopped payment,
Mr. Roasox obferved, he fliould bring forward
the motion to-morrow.
Tbc Order of the Day for the Houfe to refolve
itrelr into a Committee on the Southern Whale
Filhery was deferred till to-morrow.—Adjourned, .
