According to the tenni of the public mind at this
time, and to the aster* of the business before Parlia-
ment, it would mem that the Bank was the mein end
even the sole prop of the Government its►lf. This
opinion is erroneously founded, end as tar as it pre-
rails in the minds 4 foreigners, h mast considerably
injure Great Britain in its connexion with every
Continental State. Thr Bank hes already let down
the fame and Noose of the country in t►e eyes of
ell the civilized world, with which we have any traf-
fic end commersicatien ; and it is high lime a p►rven-
lion In its further deleterious poser were applied

Whit ! shall the dominion of this ones greet and
renowned country put its re:natation for honour,

sit m►rcantile men, whose pursuit Is wealth alone?
for who ever raised an stair, fora day only. to the
probity of a Bank Director ? Shall the god Pfutus
be the topiary deity to whom the sons of Albion
offer ep their vows its this time of great distress?—
Away with the thought ! and away with the venal
pleaders in the obreqeioes Prints, sod t►eir sophistry
ton, who would have it understood, that bet for the
patrieiim of the Bank, the State would have been
at a stand still In the middle of a war.

ment of the war, *hick every hoar tends to prove

prove that the liAnn has been the occasion of all the
miss hief and misery which this country endures. Its
establishment was eedoebtedly (minded eis reason-

beginning of the American war, run upon irra:innsl
and political wheels ; and that with such fury, tha
its alle-Isee, end the whole 'fracture itself, has been
long besting from the eeglected friction, and• is
now ready to burst into a flame.
Let the Government then, whose timbers contain
toe mach torclurood, keep clear of the fire, which other-
wise might run into one general conflagration. Lard

The sch►mes of Mr. Rtc'uno; the proposals of
the Committee will all prove abortive, or which is
worse, will produce a monster. Your ingots of
gold for large sums, and the round pieces of gold to
a smaller amount, which others recommend, with
stomps on them, wlll all prove delusive, and will be
attended with regretting and rrpentant relesions.—
