Win subsidies, as , he was perfectly, aware that

he should conclude with, that•he would be able
moat amply to satisfy the doubts of Gentlemen
on this subject, sod to prove to them that the
state of specie in the Bank was not more un-
fhvourable than it was last year. Upon the sub-

Gentlemen had entitled, he wished to make a few
reiluitlVl.•. It W. 1113 well know° that, silver coin was
not (ho Standard currency of this country, and by
law at was decided that a payment could not be
tendered in such can of more than twenty_five
pounds ; consequently, it was geld, and not silver,
which could properly be called the standard spe-
cie of the country,. The purchase of silver coins;
or the sending it out of the country, was pot
considered by him or any other person who was
acquainted with those •transaetioes, in any• other
light than in a mercantile. view.. The Hunouri.
able Gentleman concluded by moving, in order'
to show that 'Government had not decreased the'
amount of bullion in the Bank of England,
” That there be hid before the Rothe, au ac.
