STATE PAPER.

EXTRACT FROM THE PROTOCOL OF THE CON-
FERENCES AT AIX-LA-CHAPELLE.
NOVISSBER 19.

• "'The Banking-houses with which the French Go-
vernment had treated for the execution of its pecu-
niary engagements, and whose universally acknow.
ledged credit determined the Allied Powers not only
to receive in payment bills of exchange, drawn upon
those houses by the French Treasury, for the sum of
165 millions, remaining to be discharged, according'
to the 6th Article of the Convention of the 9th oT
October, but to cause by their intervention the reali-
zation of the sum of 100 millions effective value,
payable in-inscriptions of rentes, according to the sth
Article of the said Convention, had declared that
they. could accomplish the different payments to
which they were bound by nine instalments ; and the
favourable situation of Paris at the period when this
arrangement was entered into, the facilities which
circulation experienced, the increased value of the
rentes, and the prospect of an additional consolida-
tion of public credit, at the close of political trans-
actions the roost happy and satisfactory for France,
seemed fully to justify the opinion that the terms pro.
posed by the said Banking-houses did not exceed the
limit of disposable means, and might be received and
adopted without any inconvenience either to France
or to the Powers her creditors.
" Such was the state of things when the Conven-
tion of the 9th of October was signed. But since the
latter days of the same month, various symptoms,
the importance of which could not be concealed, ap-
prized the French Government, that notwithstanding
the extensive resources which the Bankers pledged to
make good, its payments at their disposal, it would
be difficult to realize these payments within the sti-
pulated periods, without directly exposing the cir-
culation of Paris and of France, and indirectly that
of the whole of commercial Europe, to serious in-
convenience. Althoug,h_ the pecuniary obligations
Which the Treaty of 20th of November, 1815, had
imposed on France, had been in a great measure dis-
Charged by the improved returns of commerce, by
the operationX of exchange, and by all those artificial
means which in a perfect state of the reciprocal cons.
munications of countries restore specie to its props,
amount, it still appears, however, or. inquiry, that a
very considerable portion of this specie was necessarily
employed in adjusting the balauce as against France.
To this first cause of diminution in the mass of cir-
culating value, there were added others, the effects
of which could not be misunderstood. Several of
the principal States of Europe are en leavouring to
substitute a metallic currency instead of paper, which
had hitherto fulfilled its purposes. The measures
adopted with this view required a large importation
of specie; and it is sufficiently proved that this was
effected in a great measure by an exportation of it
from France. Temporary conjunctures, well known
to those who occupy themselves attentively with these
subjects rendered this di nil nution of speci e most sensible
at the very period when a new creation of rentes was
announced by the stipulations of the Treaty of Eva-
cuation. The Bank of France was the first to cape-
ricnce its effects. Its effective funds, net long ago'
.more than sufficient for its wants, have been gradu-
ally pressed to a point at which loyalty and prudence,
.e essential bases of that establi-hment, commanded
it to narrow its discounts, and by the same step to.
restrain the issue of its notes. There has necessarily
resulted from ens measare an increased embarrass-
ment in the gen e al circulation ; under circumstances
which would have rendered an augmentation of spe-
cie or its representative signs desirable, in order to
absorb the new rentes assout to be brought to market,
inch was the insuflicieacy of the disposable effects
that the existing rentes could not maintain their price
on the Exchange. The fall of the public funds was
made manifest, at the moment when causes exclu-
sively connected with pecuniary relations could alone
explain such a p':enornenon ; since
tall the political
land moral causes which might operate on the credit
of a Government were favourable to France; but this
depression having on:e taken place, a number of se-
condary circunistanc?s, and particularly the unre-
flecting eagerness with which a certain number of
holders of inscriptians hastened to dispose of them,
produced a momentary diminution in the efficacy of
the measures by which the Government and the re-
spectable commercial housei t!!at seconded its aera-
tions would soon have succeeded in bringing back
the funds to their j.tst level.
" The rebound of what has occurred at Paris must
necessarily be felt in the commercial relations of other
European cities ; and if the evil be not attacked in its
root, no country can be safe from its effects. It
would be yieldia to a dangerous illusion, to believe
that in proportion as specie diminished in France, it
would abound in other countries. The totality of
the pecuniary operations of the civilized world is ac-
complished by means of a sum comparatively small.
The scarcity or abundance of money is much less de-
termined by its positive quantity than by the degree
of facility and rapidity of the movement which keeps
it in circulation. But as soon as any cause arrests
that movement in one of its principal centrical point'
the commercial transactions, the resources of Indus.
try, the operations of exchange, the price of public
funds, must every where feel the embarrassment;
and the stagnation takes place on one of the
central exchanges of Europe must inevitably lead to
a stagnation more or less general. Thus the err bar-
rassments produced at Paris by the reduction of the
discounts of the Bank, and the progressive disappear-
ance of money, have already become simultaneously
evident in the operations of all other commercie'
places, and in the funds of every !Government.
_ _

. , .
a Independently of these grave considerations, the
value of the public funds of Frt ce has, at the pre-
sent moment, a particular int st for the Powers
who ate parties to the Treaty of the 20th of Novem-
ber, 1815, and the Convention of the 25th of April,'
1818: for, having stipulated in the name of thejr sub-
jects, who are creditors of France, that they shall re-
ceive the amount of their debts in inscriptions on the
grand book of that country's public deist, they ought
to neglect no means within their reach for preventing
the stock which the persons in question have received,'
or are about to receive, from being depreciated ; and
the measures which the French Government may
adopt for maintaining or ameliorating the price of
the inscriptions cannot, for this reason alone, be indif-
ferent to other States.
