fore, who desired to speak ; but he trusted Gentle-
Men would confine their observations to as narrow
limits as possible. '
Sir R. Pm said, it afforded him great delight to
see so respectable an Aisembly met to consider i
question of the deepest importance to the c'ommer-
cial world. He recollected well when the country
was compelled, in 1797, to call such a Meeting at
the present, and when Mr. Pitt had felt it his duty to
give it his sanction. The measure of restri:tion, as
to cash payments, in 1797, was one of dire necessity,
the desperate enemy having been alarmed by the
Valour of our fleets and armies, endeavoured to ruin
is in our finances-and trade —4llw, hear.)—The ob-,
t of the Meeting, in 1797, ad proved glorioudy
pccessful, and he trusted that those of the present
Meeting would be equally so. The country had

fipurished under the Bank Restriction Act. and he had
no doubt, but by a perseverance in the same system,
the country would at length. overcome all its diffi-
culties—(Hisses.)—He would not dwell on the sub-
ject if it offended, but still repeat, that as the coon.
try had thriven in the most awful times with a paper
currency, he thought she was not yet returned to that
accessary state of confidence to warrant the return of
.yments. He was of opinion, that whenever

ATTWOQD seconded the Resolutions. It W 33
intended, he said, by the Legislature th.at the
Restriction Act should be perpetual ; neither
- -w repeal iz, at a period when the state of
did not warrant it. In his opinion, the
preps: way to reduce matters to a just level,
wools. be to reduce the enormous load of debts and
taxes—(Great applaiue). By such means the circu-
' medium, whatever it might be, would find its,
level ; hut, to issue gold which would at once
value, become scarce, and totally suppress
would assuredly limit the means of trade, com-
merce, and even existence. No one could forget the
incalculable suarings of the.nation in 1816, when the
people- groaned, and the Government itself ,wits
threatened. Yet he would contend that at this dillies
or any other, the country was not so much pneerrod
by the Irani al withdrawing of the Constitution, stolen
armed force, as by the advantage of a paper currency.
He said, that the advances to Government by the
Bank had been gradually reduced; and that this re-
duction had, among other evils, led to the ruin of.
country bankers. If the reduction of ten millions, as
now proposed, was to be-adopted, ruin to the country
must also ensue. Nothing. but a strong expression of
public feeling could save the country—(hear.) .
Mr. INGLI6 submitted to the Meeting a written do-1
cument olsome length, by way . Of Petition to the
House of Commons. Mr. Inglis, is this attempt,
was frequently interruptei, and Ms detracts could
not be distinctly heard.
Mr. PEARSON next rose, for the purpose of pro-
posing Counter-Resolutions to those already sub-
mitted to the Meeting. He thought the real question
was kept wholly out of view, and that those who had
called the present Meeting, argued upon false pre-
mises and filse bases. The state of the Country in
1797, was not what it is now; and it seemed to him
as if the Honourable Baronet who had addressed the
Meeting, was, in his praise of the Bank, Restriction
Act (made for fire months only, at the commence-
ment of the war), depicting the present wretched
state of the Country. The effect of that glorious
Paper Currency then was this, there was no Com-
merce for the Merchant, no Tradisfor the Shopkeeper,

The debate last night on Mr. Maxim's Motion
for a Committee io consider of the State of the Na-
tion, will be found highly interesting. It met of
course with the decided opposition of Ministers ; and
on a division, was negatived by the largest majority
of which Ministers have been able to boast this Ses-
Alion—the numbers being, for the Motion, 178-

We understand the following Order was issued by
the Commander of the Forces m North 'Britain. uf,/
reviewing. the King's Dragoon Guards, prior to its
embarkation for Ireland :

The proceedings at the Meeting in the City yes-
terday on the subject of the Return of the Bank to
Cash Payments, *ill be found in our preceding co-
lumns. The leading Resolution was moved by Sir 1
ROIERT PERI., father of the Chairman of the Com-
mons' Committee on t his subject, and seconded by
Mr. Arrwoon, the Banker. It went to declare that
the Plan recommended by the Committees of both
Houses of Parliament must tend by a forced and
precipitate contraction of the Circulating Medium of
the Country, to embarrass Trade in general, and
injure alike Public Credit, Agriculture, Manufac-
tures, and Commerce.

A Counter-Resolution was proposed as as Amend-
ment by a Mr. Pseasoe, and seconded by Mr.
Wootre, who (tairaldle didu !) eulogized his Majes_
ty's Ministers for the part they have taken in this im-
portant question. Several other Speakers were heard
on both Ades, and the Chairman, Mr. BAINBaIDGR,
having put the' question, he declared the shew of
bands to be in favour of the Resolution.

The friends of the Amendment complained of par-
, tiality in this decision, and clamoured loudly for a
division ; the Chairman, however, without complying
with the call, rose and left the room, followed by
the Mover and supporters of the Resolution. Major
CARTwatcur was now called to the Chair by the
dissatisfied party, and the adoption of the counter
resolution followed as a matter of course.
