Mr. TIERNEY thought it could not be Miami
premature to enquire, at this advanced period of the
Session, when the Definitive Treaty should be signed,
what course it 'was proposed
~to pursue with -regard
to the restriction of cash payments by the Bank ?
Accortlingto t4e existing law, that restriction would
cease six months after the conclusion of peace.—
Now he wished to know, whether it was intruded to
propose a further continuance of the reit/Action, apd
previously to submit the subject‘to the coarsideration
of a Committee?
The CHANCELLOR, of the EXCHEQUER,
declared his inability to answer 'iihatins oinsidered a
string of premature questioesi 'lt was impossible
for him to state.when the Definitive Treaty of Mice
would be signed, and he was Oita finable to state at
present what course on'thtt &nut sit would be ad-
srdable to pursue with regard to the period of re•
straining the payment of cash by, the Bank.
Mr. TIERNEY. disclaimed the desire of pressing
any thing pvemeterely upon the- Right' ftliwastenble
