The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
thought that the reason why the House was so thin,
and why that apathy appeared to prevail, was from
the general sense of Members as to the propriety of
bringing in the Bill before the recess, knowing that
its provisions might be sufficiently sifted in the Com-
mittee. Ile had himself declined pressing it beyond
its present stage, because, after the recess, many
Irish,Members might be present who would be able
to satisfy the House as to many of its bearings upon
Ireland. With regard to the diffuse and general ar-
guments which he had heard employed as to the state
.of oar currency, the •exceasive issue of paper, and
the impossibility of exchanging it for gold at the
Bank, they seemed to him applicable to those
jests, during the whole period that had elapsed
the Bank Restrictions in 1797, rather than
Bill then before the Rouse. Predictions had been
sarded then, and just as confidently, as to the ,
which those restrictions would produce, as they were
now. That part of it which related to Ireland, Ile
admitted, would require very mature and deliberate
consideration; but he could not think it very
Tablet() hart- any degree of mischief committed

currency. What sort of standard, howeetsay
