1321 t, we must now return to the Bank, and tee
bozo it happened that the people went to demand
money in payment of the *lutes in 1797. That it
did happen we all know ; bid, there ar6 not a few
of the people forming the present population of the
country, who have forgotten, or, who have never
kuown, the true history of the Stoppage of Gold
and Silver payments at the Dank of England;
yet, without a knowledge of this history, and **a
thorough knowledge of it too, we cannot possibly
pursue our inquiries to a satisfactory result. • .
We have seen abundant arguments to prove, that
raper-money, that promissory paper of every sort,
is the olfpring and representative of Debt ; that, a,
National or Public Debt never can fail to bring
forth bank-notcs, or paper promisses of some sort
or other; that, of c,,torse, as the. Debt increases
and its Interest increases, there will be, and must
be, an increase. of the paper, in which that interest'
is paid; and, in the last Letter,_ we saw, in the

'!'able of increase of ibe De at and laterest•frum the

beginning of the Astti.jacottin War to tits year
1797, wo here saw, in practice, the cause of the

snaking of the FIVE Piton) batik.notes; • But,
we have since Neu, that measure was nottialiCient.
• We saw that it was to avoid pri.eft in Gold and
Silver the sums, or !lees of toms, front. eke to
ties pumas, which must have induced the Bank to
make ate: put out note, so kw ax Fl IC rouses. If
you look again at that Table, gentlemen, you will
see h••w the increase 'went ott ; yaw ertll set, that it
was greater and greaser awry year.. In the 1793,
the addition to the annual interest try, Opeakilig in
round numbers) only gbh) thousand pounds ; but,
in the year 1797, tiro addition 'was, 31 millions ;
that' is to say, •a third partof as muck as the *bele
amount of the interest previrets to the Aoti.jaeohin
war. Thus did thisvar of PITT agalait the rte.

There, were, however, odder causes at work, et
the time of which we are now speaking ; causes
operating upon the paper system from without;
causes which most be here folly noted ; for, besides
that a knowledge of them is °somata te our iwquiry,
it is demanded by justice towards those who opposed
the ruinous measures of PITT, and who foretold
their consequences ; and this demand is, in a pecu.
liar manner, addressed to ME, who, from being so
Situated as to be unable to ennui at, or even suspect,
the truth, while many circumstances conspired to
sotto me take for truth that which was false, was
not only one of the dupes of the system, but who,
unintentionally, euntilbuted according to the Owe
of my talents, towards the extension of thti circle
of duplicity.

King's Speech, upon a part of which a motion was
groutided, on the 18th of October, fur the bring-
ing in of bills for the raking men, with all possible
speed, for the purpose of defending the country
against invasion. In virtue of a resolution passed
in censeefietice of this motion, three acts were
-passed with all possible rapidity, the first for pro.
riding an augmentation for the militia, to be
trained and exercised iii a particular manner; the
second for raising a certain dumber of men its the
several counties of England and Scotland (there
were two Aces), for the service of the Regular
Army and the Nary; and the third for raising a
provisional force of cavalry to be embodied, in
cue of necessity, for the defence of these king.

of November, 1798. When this measure was me.

others, oppose(' it opon the ground of its not being

tion, after the French wanner, observed that, ,if it
was necessary to our safety, it was the conduct of

out believe that invasion Would :render' any such
niensuro iseces.sary ; that the real resources of the
country consisted in the people's attachment to the
constitetinn, and that, therefore, tee proper mea-
sure to be adopted would be to 'allow them to piti-
less the spirit of that constitution. The Minister
, feel his partizans contended, however, that there
was real cause fur alarm ; and Pere said, that as to
the constitution " it still possessed that esteem and
adiniestion of the people, which would induce
" them to defend it against the designs of domestic
foes, and the attempts of their foreign allies ;"
aaus, according to his usual practice, proceeding
Upon.the assumption, that there was a party in the
• country in alliance, as to wishes, at least, with the
enemy.
While these measures were before Parliament, the
venal part of. the .preis was by no means inactive.
Itepresentatious the must exaggerated were made use
of in speaking of the temisee mid designs of the
enemy, always insinuating that the opponents of
the Minister were ready to juin the enemy, or, at
least, wished him success, ,The French were exhi.

' held forth as something *boost toe horrible to be
thought.of. • This was useful for the purpose of
making the Arming Acts ga dime ; bat, the alarm-
ists did not seem to be aware of its cutting another
• way ; and, lout of all do they appear to hive
' imagined, that it would set people to thinking of
what efActinva,sion might produce upon Bunk-notes.
la the mean while, the uegociations fur peace
were broken off by the month of December, which
gave rise to new alarm. This was soon, followed
by the appearance of a French naval forge, with
troops. on beard, off the roast of Ireland ; and,
though its cetera biek.to Franey, without attempt.
ing a descent, niieet, one would think, have tended
to quiet eletreasee , fears, it wee, on the contrary,
made the ground work of a still, more general and
more vociferous alarm. There was now no bounds
to the exeggetatione of ,the venal prints. From the
first week in laticiary (17.97) to the third week
in fediruary, the people were kept in a state of ir-
eltoltioultardle to be coeceived. 'Aildresses to them,
in all shapes and sizes, were published, calling upon
theta to arm. and come forth at once, not waiting
for the &low !nacres of the Militia and Cavalry
Acts. 44 Already,". were they told, " the oppo.
site coast was crowded with hostile arms ; forests
46 of beyonets glistened ia tee sun ; despair sad

impotisible that this should not make people think
of what was to become of them ; make them re-
flect a little as to what they were 40 du in case of
itivakiots ; and, it required but very little reflection

This change of tone was begun on the 17th of
February by those notoriously venal prints, those
prints lA/ far famed above all others in 'the annals of
venality ; the "'Taut BRITON" and the " Sec"
The thing was begun in 66 An Address to lOU fir
BULL," in which the " most thinking people,"
who were still all in frying confusion to get on•with
the levies of additional militia, and parish men for
the army and navy, and the provisional cavalry ;
the " most thinking people," while all hurry and
bustle about this, were told by these shameless
writers, who had almost called the people traitors
for not niskitig greater haste to arm ; the Imo; le
were, by these same writers, now told, that alarm
might be pushed too far ; that, if so pushed, it
might du us an injury equal to invasion; that
every one must see, that the French wished to rain
our credit ; that, of course, to spew an eagerness
to sell out of the funds was to favour the designs
of the enemy; that it was, besides, the greatest
nonsense in the world for people to suppose that
:their property wag- not safe in the Haul; of Eng-
land ; that no apprehension need be felt, and that
, the people who had money in the funds, might safely.
rely upon the wooden walls of Old England.-,-
Though, observe, the whole country was actually
in movement, down to the very beadles, in order to
raise mon for defence by land!
" The evidence of facts," was before the pee.
pie's eyes. The alarm was not to be allayed by as.
sections like these. And, though the venal prints
.grew more and more positive in their assurances, that
there was now no danger from invasion; though they
If on the 21st of February) assured the people, that
it was 4k an error to suppose, that the enemy was

paper the finishing blow.
All, as appears retain the documents, and as we
sisal( by.and-by see, was• consternation in Thread-
needle-street. The dialieution of the gold became
greater and greater every day. In vain did the ye.
.nal prints cry out against alarm. They had cried
" wolf" till the people had believed them. They
had called upon Clem to " stand, forward in de-
" fence of the Constitution," 'till they had con.
winced them it was time far every man to think a
litt:eabest taking Calt* of himself. In vain did these
venal writers now call aloud against alarm ; in vain
did they say (24th February); that the .Beachy.
head report "arosefrom a mistake in thesignals ; that
" the resources of the country were undiminished;
" that it was degrading to suppose that we had
" not a sndficient force to annihilate the enemy ;
" that the panic was shameful, unmanly, mean,
" aunt dastardly." In vain did they assert (`24th
February), that " invasion was mese to be desired
" than dreaded ;" in vain did they exclaim : 66 Let
" us, for God's sake; not give way to our fears
SO is to injure public credit." lit vain did they
(25th February) aver, 44 that the (dam taus

meditated ; and that they were convinced it
" never would be." In vain did they agaie
claim ; ." fur God's sake lot not the gloomy de-
" spondency of a few men iu the city give afraid
66 blow to public credit."
In vain were all these efforts: Suspicion, to use
Palwe's emphatical expressing, was no longer
ASLEEP. It was broad awake, and to stay its upe.
rations was impossible. To excite fears in the
breasts of the people was a task to which the venal
prints had been adequate; but to remove those
fears, or to impede the progress of their efiCcts
upon the mind, was too much for any human power
to accomplish. The run upuu the Bank continued
to increase, until the (lay last-meaticiued, Saturday,
the 25th of rebruary, 1797, a day which will belong
remembered, and e hick will be amongst the most
memorable in the annals of England, as being the
last (hitherto at least) on which the Bank of Eng.
Wild was compelled, at the will of the bearer, to
pay its promissory notes in gold and silver, agree.
ably to the tenor of those•notes ; until the evening
of that day the run continued, but, on the next,
though it was Sunday, an Otder was issued from
the Puivx Coe NCI F., requiring the Directors of the
Bank to forbear issuing on, cash in payment, un.
til the sense of Parliament could be• taken upon the
