metered into with the holders of tbiStoek. His opinion
yiiteideilly was, that the condition had been fulfilled; fur
previous to the year 1793, 10 millions bad .beeo redeem-
ed, and after that 19 millions more and upwards were
redeemed ; so that en such redemption taking place the
Government would have been justified by law to payinr
a# the Stork in question. lint there was *bother cir-
cumstance Which occurred during the war, which would
have amounted so L. fulfilment of the condition ; he
meant the redempflen of the Land Tax. It might be
said that the mosey on that occasion was raised on the
land-owner. Bat money must be raised somewhere, in
all where a fund was to be created for paying a
particular debt. After what he bad now stated, there
mold be oo question as to the fart of 2.71 millions of the
debt having bees redeemed. It might be said that as
by an Art of George 11. the three per Ceuta. could mot
be paid off without giving three months' notice to the
holders, n similar principle ought to be sated an in this
issuance: that Act, however, did sot pretent the Go-
vernment from paying alas) portioo of tbe.3 Cent,without any notice. proriedthis ere

the redeeming twenty-five millions of the debt. Tut
Act stated nothing more, and therefore the tlovernment
had a clear right to pay off without giving any notice
whatsoever. let he was not bound to rest solely,.as
that part of the qnrstion: he would go to the equity of
the case—and the best proof he could give of the eqeit-,
able course the tiovernment was now pursuing waa the
opinion of the 5 per Cent. fundholders themselves. By
terming to the state of the funds at different periods,
all making a comparison between the prices of each,
this opinion would clearly appear. At the time when
ta- 3 per Cents. were at 9i.4, there was nothing like a
properoonate rise in the 5 per Cents. According to
the several rates of interest, they should have been at
130 per cent.; but they never got so high, and the rem
son was, that the holders always knew they were re-
deemable. There was no doubt in the world then as to
the right in question ; and if there had been a doubt he
was justified in taking into consideration the general
understanding which prevailed among the 5 per Ceut.
fundholderi, that their stock was redeemable at auy
time, and the prices of their stock were regulated ac-
cordingly. There WZI, not a banker or a broker in
London who did not know this to be the case; and who
could not calculate at all times on the advantages
which the purchasers of stock might derive from
purchasing in the 3 per cents. or 5 per cents. This
fact, he thought, would be sufficient to set the question
at rest, so far as regarded the equitable legality of the
proposed measure. He should now come to the mode of
carrying the measure into effect. It was by calling on
persons to signify their dissent, and by implying that I
all who did not do so assented to the measure. Now,
he would put it to the House whether this was not an'
equitable and an expedient mode of proceeding. A si-
milar course bad been pursued at the time of the Con-
solidation Act; when it was implied that all who did
not give their dissent hail assented to the measure. The
same thing was done with respect to the Long Annui-
ties. The principle now acted upon was warranted by
precedent, and no individual could have any difficulty in
making up his mind on the subject, He could not,
therefor..., see any necessity for delay, which, on the
other hand, worth' produce great inconvenience, by the
encouragement it wonlii hold oat to stockinbbing specu-
lations. On that ground, then, be would maintain that,
it was expedient to carry the measure into effect with
as little delay as possible. As to the objection that had
liven made on the ground of negotiations pending with
Foreign Powers, there was nothing in the state of those
negotiations to induce him to postpone the measure;
and he should he ready to advise Lis Majesty to repeat
the same words now, with respect to Russia and Turkey.
which he had delivered in his speech at the opening of
Parliament. This. ho. ,he would state to the
House, that if there were any thing in the present si•
tuation of P.nrope, or in oar relations with Foreign
Powers, which might be likely to involve the country in
a war. his opinion would be that the measure then under
the consideration of the House ought not to he adopted.
—(Hear, hear.) But without holding out any expects.
tion of the manner in which the negociatious might
terminate, or calculating on what might happen in the
course of some years, he would now assure their Lord-
ships, that since the year 1816. there was no period in
'bleb ire were less likely to be engaged in •a war than
the present, and in which there appeared a greater pro-
bability of a continnanee of peace.—(llear, hear.) H.
therefore saw no time more fit for this measure than the
present. It was sae which would produce a saving of
1,300,00.2/. to4he esentry ; end there was nothlet
the situation of theconetry that could object it.
when their Lordehipe considered the increase that had
taken pl.tce is the revenue taat year, sad the etlll
