Lord CAS ILEREAGII Haight that it weold be

kr.

Mr. WYNN.--Whetever meagre the Hesse dr-
televised upon adopting, ovgl.t to be adopted with
delibeiatiou. This paragieph gist of all was a bleach
of privilege; sod 2ndly, • most grits awl infamous
libel. that ceosideratioe would come-before the
Outing of the liaise moo prop►rly to-morrow.
Lord CA.STLEREAGH said, that en the two
puma SOlitiolltd by the lion. Gentlemen there was
only ate *pinion entertained in the House.
Mr. BROUGHAM observed that there was only
woe opinion and ono Iselin on the subject in this
Haase; god every Castleman who bed heard the
clear end able statement of tho Right Hoe. Castle-
man opposite, coald not help crincladieg, that this
paragraph ens a breech of the privilege of the House.
As that question was, therefore, already settled, he
did pot rase in say any thing upon it through he
mai entreat the •atenties of the House before they
adored foram opal this Wiliam. It was very clear
that the matter could set stop in its present slugs:
be did not mesa to say that this was an argument
against their proceeding further in it, but that this
was cot the only Neespeper in which the most ma-
ilroom attacks ►od been made open lion. Members,
in smotempt of all the privileges of the House.—
What he apprebesded was, that if in consequence of
the very just statement of the circemaisoces of the
ease ►y the Right Hee. Gent. the Hoes* thought fit
to proceed farther, it might be called spoil so fre-
qeently to adopt the me. steps es to the past : as to
the foliar*, it world.betbeir own fault if the editors of
Newspapers iscurred the displeasure of the House.
If he might presume to offer advice to the Hoses, his
advice weeld be, that it should net go beyond the
letter of the easmple that had been set ara former
occasion; if it did, complaints (meld not he confieed
to min-stateseets in reports, but most attend to
breaches of privilege in comments upon them.
Mr. CANNING sg•in rose, merely because the
Hoe. Member bad called upon him for an opinion.
The same riotous which had made him think it right
to bring it forwerd, made him also think it right to
abstale from giving any opinion.
Mr. 3. W. WARD observed, that the course re.
commended by the Honourable Member would lead
to thisinconvenience--that it would open the door
to godless snacks of the same unwarrantable kind.—
With whatever f the House might be led to
,eprd the publicaties of its debase, it was helmet.
Me that mach an caress of licence could be permitted,
aid for this plain reason—that it was suspending
over lb* House a power greaterthen itself ; it wee, in
fact, readering the press master of the Parliament,
goad of the characters, feelings, and individuals of the
persons composing it.— [Cheers.]
The question mss thee pet sod carried—that Mr.
C. Bell do aimed the Holm to-morrow.
A Masse from the Lords brought a request that
Mr. G. H. bossier, a Member of ibis lion. Doom,
be permitted to attend the Committee appointed by
their Lordships, to enquire into the state of the jails
and prisons throughout the united kingdom, which
was complied with.
Mr. BERNAL rose to present a petition from the
maltsters of the county of Llncoln,complsioiog of the
great hardships they bed to semis inconsequence of
the impositiee of theadditional duty of Is. 2d. a bushel
on all the malt now en band.
Mr. WESTERN 'Haight up a similar Petition
from, we believe, the owners and occupiers of lands
in Estes, forwarded from Sallies Welden.—Petition
brought op and read.
Mr. CALVERT thought it most estraordinary,
that in ell cases of these Petitiesa being presented,
the Right Honourable the Chancellor of the Each,-
quer should be out of the cosy.—[llear!]—While
be was on his legs be would jest mention, that re-
cently, at • very large Meeting at Bishop Stortford,
a Petition of ibis nature was 'greed to, and sigired ;
bas it had not yet come op, in consequence of their
haul enteetained a notion that It would not be re-
ceived, as being • Petition against a Money Bill.
CESSION OF PARGA.
Sir C. MONCK rose for the purpose of postptrn•
jog his farther ■etiae respecting the Cession of
Varga, which stood for to-morrow. He bad been
given to enderstaed that evening, that since he gave
notice of that motion, iutelligenee had arrived that a
Treaty had been entered into, by virtue of which the
garrison had evacuated Paige, and the place was af.
towards ceded.— Motes withdraws.
Mr. COUItTENAY gave notice, that he should
to-morrow move for leave to bring in a Bill to slier
and amend the Acts for soffering recoveries of lands.
CASH-PAYNENTS.
Mr. PEEL moved the third reading of the Bask
of. England Cash Payments Bill.
Lord ALTBORP, in • low tone of vitae, 'e-
rased his hope that the House would make some
arrurgeweat for taking hit. coesWeration the further
report of the Insolvent Debtors' Bill to.morrow.
Mr. Alderman WAITH MAN observed, that the
mood reeding of the Mock Asetioas Bill easels() to
to come on.—[llear! Hearn—lie was well aware
that ibis was a dry subject, but it was entitled to its
dee •ouree.
The Bill was thee reed a third lisle; on the gees-
tioo that it do pen,
Mr. MANNING said, he bad a clause to pro-
pose [Hear], which he should now submit for the
HoosePs coNsWeratlen. it respected the Resoledon
which Parliament bad come Ao, relative to the re.
payment of 10,000,0001. of advisees. There wee not
oar word in it relating take ',payment of those ad-
vances of the a sok to Governotent.—[lleac, hear,
hear!]—ale begged leave to observe, that he was
by no mesas hostile to the Esecative Government,
nor was the B II opposed tram any desire what-
ever to impede the metsures of Government. His
sliest ha drawing sp this clause wet to give to the
,nk some security for the repayment of 6,000,000'..
The Has. Member proceeded in a very low and into.
'tato" teas% to propane clause, 4, That in order the
bow to amble the mid Governer and Compaq of
the liank,of Hyland to provide for the payment of
th►it °moodier' notes is hellion of a standard fine-
ness, itce and ultimately in cash, there shall be repaid
10 t►ea eat of the nrpthe of ibeConselidated End,

roc faeurrither sources, 5.000 0001.; the same to be'
paid in monthly instalments of LUtr.oool. each, cour-
reericiug nu the isth day or July neat, and so after.
wards, en t►e 15th day of every following mouth,
until the 15th of April. 1820, inclusive."
Lord CASTLEREAGH intimated his wish, that
the lion. Gentleman would defer his classy, tilt his
Right Hon. Friend, who was then unavoidably absent
is the diarbarge of his professional' defies, should
rehire. It was his wish to allow the Orders of the.
Day proredroce.
Mr. MANNING explained.
The SPEAK ER here observed,that the anal atom
of proceeding was to bring op any clauses proposed
Grit. and shot weird' to proceed to amendments In the
body of the Bill. The Ilouse would see that the
seem of such oroasdatents must follow t►at of the
classes, in rotation asd according to the folio; bet
this, la regard to resolutions, was not material, they.
being brought op as riders.—(Hear!)
Mr. ELLICE said, that the class* he meant to
propose was to this effect :—That when the Batik
should be called on to pay their notes, on the Ist oY
May, 1921, in bars of bullion, at the rite of
31. 17s. 104 d. pot os. they ihosid have the option
of payieg such notes abhor is such bars or in the
legal coin of the realm.— [War, hurl—There was
another clause which he would mentiou :—lf, Of he
sincerely hoped (end indeed had no doubt there
would be) there should be s great inane of gold into
this country, the Bank might think proper to with-
draw from circulation their 11. and 21. Banknotes.
It was his intestine to move as an Amendment, in
t►e body of the Bill, t►at the period before which
they were to arrive at a metallic standard, should fie
'awaited: and that the period for the Bonk', re.
turning to Cash Payments should he limited to two
years, without any intermediate steps. This he should
move after the 9th clause.

Mr. PEEL wished to observe, that this Bill, from
which a few months ago so much evil had been sp.
apprebesdel, had keen read a third time a meet
without a single word. If he hail collected, per-
fectly, the object of the Hou. Gentleman's clause, lee
bad no objection to it.
Mr. DENISON thought, in this time of commer.
cial distress, another year ought to be given.
Mr. Ellice's claw, relative to the payments in
coin or bullion, was then read a Arse and second time,
and added to the Bin by way of rider.
Mr. MANNING proceeded to move his clause,
for the re-payment to the Bank of 6.40 millions be-
tween the 15th of July neat, and the 15th of April,
1820, in monthly instalment,. The latter period, he'
observed, was two months and a half beyond that at
present limited.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
thought the Hon. Gentleman had hardly taken into
consideration the large amount of the proposed in-
stalments. The House had decided that a certain
sem shook) be repaid within the year, sad it was de-
:kohl@ that this repayment should be ace. mplished
by equal monthly instalments; but be could not res.
sent that the Government should be bound t. repay
it, and he hoped, therefore, that the Hon. Giulio-
neon would withdraw his clause.

Mr. ELLICE wss of opinion, that there was strong
reason for binding Government on I,.i..ahject. and
thought that whilst every thing was required from the
Bank, nothing was done for them.
Mr. J. MARTIN (we believe) Ingested, he• If
the Bask were to soli Exchequer Bills at o•ose pe-
riods when they had just paid the public dividends,
their own notes would low back, anti in some de-
gree enable them to regulate the currency.
Mr. PRIMROSE supported the cl.u.se
Mr. lIUSKISSON observed, that the 5,000,0001.
were not a divided sem; a speciet pcomion hod
beets made for its repaiment, and it could net be
otherwise applepriaied. 'lkon who were conver-
sant with those questions would, thereat., clearly
see, diet by his Right lien. Friend's arrangement all
■acertalety was avoided.
Mr. MANNING, would willingly be satigGed
with retaining those words •hick provided for the
payment of t►e sea total befure the Ist of May,

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER ob.
aimed, that it would be ad►isable to withdraw the
whole clause for the present, and mote for its inser-
tion iu the Appropriation Act.
Mr. MANNING required whether there would
booby chase in the Appropriation Act with reference
to this subject?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCEi'QU ER had
no hesitation to soy that there would be a pro►ision
in the Appropriation Act for securing to the Bask the
payment of 6,000,0001. within the year.
The class. was then withdrawn.

Mr. ELLICE moved, with a view of recording his
disapprobation or resuming Cosh Payments by inter.
mediate steps, that the fifth and siatb classes should
be omitted.

Mr. PEEL &evert it extremely desirable to re-
tails these classes.

Mr. DENT aside a few remarks, which were is-
audible in the Warp
Mr. PEARSE tbosght that various causes might
*rim te affect the sactranges sod raise the price of
geld, to the serious loss of the Bask. We under-
stood the Hon. Member to support the amendment.

Lord CASTLEREAGH 11.o.ped the Hon. Director
would see that there -oat nothing in the state of the
ezebeages, or in the present situation of the country,
to reader she working of Ibis measure alarming.
Mr. GRENFELL opposed the amendment.
Mr. J. P. GRANT said, big objection to the
measure was, that it was bottomed ow a graduated
scale, the steps of which rested on the supposition
that the issue of currency was to be equal to the de-
mead, a thing which, le his conscience, be beliered
to be impossible.
Mr. CALLAGHAN supported the amendment.
Mr. ELLICE teplled, and declared his intentioe
to take the sense of the House oa his ameedeneot.
Mr. FEEL captained.
The House ohms dimded—
