The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER

might be worded in a way to prevent it from being
drawn into a precedtut—(llear, hear.)

Mr. GRENFELL said be had stated on a former
occasion, when it was boasted that the Bank bad re-
sumed cash payments, that he had reason to believe
the notes they had undertaken to pay were very in-
considerable in amount. He was confirmed in this
by the,paper lately laid on the table, by which it ap-
peared that 28 millions of Bank Notes weir in circu-
lation, of which only eight millions were one or twu
pound, notes. The Honourable Gentleman concluded
with moving for a Return of the Aggregate Amount
of ael and ig2 Notes in circulation anterior to the let
of January, 1816.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
observed, that. no Parliamentary ground was laid for
this Motion ; nor was the question referred to of
sufficient magnitude or importance to justify' the pro-
posed interposition of the House with the concerns
of the Bank. It was notorious that for every purpose
of practical utility the Bank had resumed its pay-
ments in cash; and there was every reason to calcu-
late, that by the sth of July next, which was the
period at present fixed by law, that resumption would
be.complete. lie was prepared to re-affirm, that
cash payments had already virtually taken place, as
from any thing that he had heard there was no in-
convenience whatever telt by the public with respect
to cash payments, or the general character of tbe
circulating medium. Therefore he thought it a matter
of no consequence to ascertain what was the.number
of notes in circulation at the time stated in the motion,
The Bark had. in fact. done more than was expected
by even the most sanguine. and there was as much
ground to calculate upon the restoration of the usual
currency by July next as upon any other contingency.
He ceLld net, indeed, conceive any thing that could
impede the resumption of cash paymedts by the Bank
but that which was at present extremely improbable,
'namely, a bad harvest. Thinking, therefore, that

Mr. BANKES said, that as he could not think it
a matter of any consequence to press the motion, he
hoped the Honourable Mover would nut persist in it.
The fact was, that the Bank had gone farther to-
wards the resumption of cash payments, and the re-
storation of the old and salutary currency of the coun-
try, than he believed was generally expected, and
therefore he could not consent to interfere with their
operations.
Mr. GRENFELL expressed his surprise that the
adoption of the motion which he had had the honour
' to submit could be seriously deemed any interference
with the private concerns or usual operations of the
Bank, as a compliance with that motion would ()tea-
oion no material trouble. But with respect to the
