LONDON:
Tncasntr. MAY 20, 1819.

Of Bal. Affairs, though one of the men! import-
ant subjects rrdixosuon with the British Public,
we are-uot diMeraed to enlarge thereon, till Mr.
Pear., as the profs of the Bosse of Commons Com-
mittee, has made his Report, which he is about to
do. We would only observe, that the commerciel
world has a strange ..a wrong ides, that if by any
sepereltn.vl power the Beak and its notes were
soddenly destroyed, trade would be at an end, and
all traffic redeem! to chaos. Necessity, fro the other
hand, is the wither or binomials ; obligations could
be entered into unit fulfilled by a Parliamensery ar.
rangentfoi, more speedily than the late Bill eel ef-
fected fos freeing the Bank from the engegemest
to pay certain smell notes. In the Report we,
we cannot help observing in this place, that it has
been pies/Jotted to repeal the Act of IBM which
forbad any Bank IVoie or Bill from being received
for a smeller corn than it denoted (a mote silly and
tyrannical Art never passed), of thst Act banished
(nn (Wahl it did) the gold coin from circulation.
Now, it Is supposed that if Ilse above Act were re-i
pealed, the Book note might fetch fifteen or sixteen
shillings in the pound, sod then geld would bows
again. There is hardly a question that such would
he the elect ; but what a denote situation would
be that of the Governor and Directors of the
Bank. While they have been pocketing immense
profits, their debts are paid by fifteen or Matron
shillings in the posed!

The very i•tetestiog debate en Tuesdey night in
the Mese of Commons most undoubtedly bare
stirred op nisch reflection in 'hashed of petty man
• ha witnessed it. Mr. Tscanta alas collected, dNpaa•
lionate, soil methodical, and in no one instinct did
he exaggerate the distress of the cowslip, woe paint
in too deep colours the despair with which all ranks
ere spieled at the little hope there is of sating it re-
lieved. All that talking rnuiil do, wag done by
Lord CASTLERI AGII and Mr. CA Nstxo ; hut facts
male • mire powerful impr►ssion than words;
not one of •11 these used by the Member for.
Knamborough could be contradicted ; all that
could be done by Ministers wes to instante the
defeat of the invete►ate 'flimsy (Bosar‘itsr),
end the termination of • long war. The power
of the elements was left oat of the question,
and so was the consideration of the enormolia et-
yma of the war, together with the consideration
that our Ministers were *WNW by f::clve Sovereign
Slates to bring the war to a successful teimioation.
So wisely bas the boasted victory been achieved, that
it may be said with troth, as was said by PHILIP to
one of hit great Generals who congrolulased him on
it, " Another such a victory would lose me my
crown." Are we in a condition to attempt each
another, let the provocation be what it will 2 No.--
While these victories, Ministers are in pewee, they
mutt have • vast, • ruinously espeuelte fine kept
up to maintain their esthority ; vilmfrees, if the Ned.
