SPECIE.

- •

Mr. HUSKISSON, before making the motion of
which he had given notice, relative to the issue of
Specie from the Bank of England, wished to enter
into some explanation of the evidence which he had
recently given in the Committee of that• House, upon
the subject, and which evidence had been much mis-
represented. it was of importance that it should be,
.:understoodo that at the period to which that evidence
referred, the Bank of England had ample means of
turn4hing his Majesty's Government with specie, had
;his Majesty's Government exercised the right with.
which they were vested for that purpose ; in the exer-
cise of which tight, however, they had proceeded
upon a prineiple,,,Of extreme moderation. Had the
question of cash payments at the Bank of England
been considered merdi as a banking question uncon.'
meted with the political state of Europe, he had no'
difficulty in
.saying, the Bank of England was in a.l
condition to meet with perfect safety any termination
of the restriction upon payments in specie that might
have been directed. `J hat was the state of the Bank
at the period to which he had alluded ; and since that
period his Majesty's Goverment had not by any act
of theirs withdrawn from the Bank the means they
had then in their possession. He had the greater sa-
tisfaction in calling the attention of the House to this
statement, because whether the statement was conj.
dered with reference either to the ability of the Bank
to make their payments in specie on the one hand, or
to the moderation of his Majesty's Government, in
their demands upon the Bank on the other, it was
very desirable that no mistake should take place, but
that the providence of the Bank of England to pro-
vide the necessary means in the one case, and the for-
bearance of his Majesty's Government to trench upon
those means in the other, should be clearly under-
stood and duly estimated. A great deal had been
said about the .silver currency. Now it was well
known that silver did not form any part of the stan-
ding currency of the realm. Indeed, it was declared
by law, that no payment for a sum exceeding £25
could be made in silver, unless it was tendered by
weight at the standard price. His Majesty's Co.
vernment had purchased silver, therefore, only as
they would other merchandize, and he had no doubt
but more might have been procured. To prove his
assertions with respect to the satisfactory state of toe
Bank of England in these respects, he should move,
66 That there be laid before the House an account of
all issues of the coin of the realm from the Bank of
England since the Ist of May, 1793, under any Cr-
ders in Council made for that purpose, specifying the
date of each order, and the amount thereon." It
could scarcely be necessary for him to add, that with-
out an Order in Council no such issue could be made.
—The motion was agreed to.
NEW TIrEATRE.
Sir •JA MES SHA %V- presented a petition relative
to the intended new Theatre ; but owing to the Man-
dible manner in which the petition was read by the
