Monday, April 5. SECRET COMMITTEE usraicTioas ox specie musts, ' . [COSCLVEEK.] Mr. Tierney begged leave to say a few words. The proposed measure he said was one of the most important that ever came'before the house, and he felt -much alarmed at the 'composure with whir*: the preposition Was received. In theyear 181 the bank gave notice that they were ready to pay in specie all notes for Iractioiiable parts, of 5t. issued prior to the romuienceomitof that year. Many individuals had called in these notes, tiotlor the purpose of send mg them to the bank, but to be able to say that if they wished lo concert them into gold they could do so. In forming this ex pretation they hid relied on"the piomise of the bank & the faith of the legislature,but if the proposed measure was adopted they might Cno that neither was to be relied on In consequence of the run ice given by the bank, the drain began and continued with out producing any grand onjeot, except t enable the right honourablegeutirinun up posite , (the chancellor of exchequer) to nuke a speech, saying, that the bank hud resumed cash payments. (A laugh from the opposite .benches.) it was only this morning when' the committee met that in* (Mr. Tierney) for tilt--first time learnen that the measure new proposed -was in con- mplation, and ifhe were allowed to state all tliatiic knew,lie could state reasons fur this biil ought not to pass. As, however, there were reasons winch, as.a member o the secret committee, tie was not at liber to to disclose, he should argue otiiy on loose which it was fairly within his power to notice. With resp; ct to tlie bank it had been said, that fney were so anxious tor a return to cash payments that they felt quite uneasy at net being allowed to re ' some them. (A laugh on the opposition benches.) But (lien it was said, that the. proposed measure was requisite, in order to prevent the drain of specie increasing — He tlurugl, bowevir, that he hea d it wliis . pored, that, so far from the drain having lately been increased, it was diminished.. If this was correct, lie should be glad to know what were the ground* lor the loll? Ale should wish to know why tin 3 bank might not purchase specie? It they .were anxious fora return to cash payments llvy might purchase specie, and although they might be obliged to do so at some | -ss. y • he conceived that after their stupid con duct (hecould give it no better name) ol i- uinggoltl with one hand arid paper with in-' be, ‘'Ims left his son that snare of the estate which -the fathers should douse' Now, ’Lis plain what part they have chosen, by what they keep to them isclves.

He feltquite peisuaxlrtl that, if to hank would pay the.price, they toulil eas ly get gold, and as they had been lor t i Iast2l years gaining, it was ex lortlina; thatany loss, however small to them,should he considered as a sufficient reason to prevent the resumption of cash payments. It had been slated, that "Oll.OOOf was th* drain last year, and that half that sum would perhaps be lost il the proposed mea sure was not immediately adopted; but he- would ask, whether that »Hin ought to be considered as equivalent to the loss of character which the l-otise would sustain by passing the bill? The noble lord had stated the dtffereine between the circum stances of irST and those at present, lie (Mr. T.) granted that dill’erence to exi-i. but would argue from it that the house need not hurry on the passing of the proposed, bill. He did not suppose that this bill,! 1 passed, would operate merely for tin- >e maitider of the session, •but the principl of itxxoulibbe adopted in whatever reguis tions might be introduced respecting th return of cash payments. After cUtpreca . ting the precedent that the hank should! not be liable to any inconvenience wlmh their own folly had brought upon them, the honorable member concluded by apoii- gising for troubling the house on this sub ject, especially as he had already in the morning delivered his opinions concerning it tothegentlemen who composed the com mittee. He felt it however so uiu. h hi luty to deliver his opinions on-this subject that he could nut avoid discharging it <u the present occasion,allhough he w s “bi g ed ill-so doing to repeat some ol the ar guments which he had already used, Until vain. .Mr. Manning said, the right honourabl gentleman had talked of the stupid con duct of the bi-:k in passingtheir resulutim «»' 1P.T. fiat b" nail no hesitation in sax mg that the conduct thus censured xv a s be lieved to he in exact tO’iformrty with th wishes of the two houses of parliament.— i-hoae were certainly tile truest pr ophet v.iio prophesied after the event. But i n is impossible for tire bink to have fore seen the loans for France and the deficient harvest. If any member would calculate the value of the foreign corn imported m c ^sequence of that deficiency, he would find thatit was to the amount of about ten millions sterling Wlic-irthe right hoiionia- hle gcntlemat. (Mr. Tierney) said that th* new light only broke in upon the bank at 1-2 o’clock to-day, he (Mr. M.) must nay the light did not break in upon him till near three o'clock to-day. as lie had been en gaged on an election committee till that hoar, and nut able to attend the bank com mittee. He must also say that hebelic ved the greater noiuber of tile geutlomen of th ' bank had not yet been made aware of the hill now intended. Mr. Grenfell said, he was astonished to hear the .honorable gentleman (Mr. Manning) say that the rmoiution of the bank to'pay particularly in specie, in 18ir was^dopud in conformity with the wish- es of the two houses of parliament He wished to know how the wishes of parlia ment had been thus expressed, for he thu’t it was an imputation against tue house, which ought to-be repelled, when it wa* said that they could have wished the batik to adopt an ill-advised a measure. Mr. Manxisg explained.—The wights I «2 2 2 4 1 50 5U 16 ffTparlitraieirfhatl ceftninl/been'diPtinelly expressed in favour of a speedy return lo cash payments, and, of course, a aneasure which was a partial return to that state must be considered as so far cor.lbrmin to that wish. Sir J. Newport said, he never in hi life entertained a mote clear opinion of the necessity of any measure than of this It was because he ivas earnest and anxious in his wish for the resumption of cash-pay merits that he presented for the adoption of this bill, ami because he did not trust to tire 1 Sincerity of tlie bank in wishes for thi resumption. The operation uf this bill would be to compel the bank to recur to cash payments. It had-been said that an n’rder in council should have been adopted But he contended that it would have been a monstrous assumption of power for min is*ers to have stepped in with an order in council at the very time when the-house had delegated to a committee the whole power of inquiring into this subject. H thought the right honorable gentleman (Mr Peel) had even gone too far in disclosing tlie reason why the house should adopt the measure. It was enough to have stated seriously that the committee thought it ne cessary. If an-order of council had been issued, the course would have been to re ler it to tftat very - committee -which was not sitting, to see whether it were neces ary, which would he absurd, when the committee,' if they thought it necessary should have applied at ance to the house- Mr. Buougham explained—his objec lion-to the present mode, instead of an or ler in council, was its sudden and vtulei suspension of the standing orders of the house. Mr. Canning said, it was undoubtedly of the. nature uf such a measure as that now oposed, that it adopted, it must be iu a •gree on the confidence reposed in those by whom it'was recommended. But those gentlemen who had objected only to the node-in which it was opposed to carry it tnrough, must consider that their objections nulil be equally incident to it, whether it was adopted now or after the recess. If tfie m-asure was necessary, it was indis oensidle that it should be pressed with the tmostTelerity, and that could only be 1 >ne by suspending the standing order-; »• it xvas to he considered that agitating bis question would produce the evil xvhicl t was sought to avoid. It was true that :: iror the banks made an application to re executive government, which applied the necessary remedy and tl.eti applied to parliament to sanction it. -But then, a* iow, the application of the remedy was usfant To have-gone into an extended iscussion upon the .remedy, would have been to excite and create the very evil hirh it was sought to remove. But lioxv ad the executive government acted now?. It hail not necessarily any knowledge of what was done in the committee; and he ■tail yet to learn that it was the duty of 'hose members of the government who sat • m that committee to convoy to the crown information of its proceedings, Tor the pur pose of issuing an order in council.— (Hear, hear, hear!)—If the recommenda tion on the report of the committee had been made on vague .grounds, it would be for the house tojudge of that hearafter.—; But il it were true, as that committee had almost unanimously resolx'ed, that the pre sent state of things would operate to put nIFthc peri»d of resuming cash-payments, - suiely it was not too much for them to ask. the house to adopt this interlocutory pro-, ceeding. It was enough that no man, by igreetng to this measure, was pledged t« die opinion of the committee.—(Hear, hear!) Mr. Brougham, explained—He wish ail to know whether he was to undeistand I'roin the honorable gentleman who spoke- last, that the impediment which suggested ’his measure was so formidable as to make it absolutely necessary? Mr. Cat ;ning.—As to the word ncces sary, when they came to beat out the ar gument, perhaps-they might.disagree upon it; but, in his oivn opinion, the measure was necessary, and if necessary, it must lie immediate. . Ihe Chancellor of the Exchequer said, he xvas so strongly impressed xvitli •ne inconvenience ol entering at large in to the dist ussion, of the subject on this' occassion, that he hardly thought it neces sary for him to tres|iass at all upon the time of toe house. The expediency of the measure must be rested cn the ground sta ted by his right honorable friend (Mr.. Bee!.) The committee stated, as one ol the means for enabling the bank to resume easli-payments, that it w-as necessary to preserve the specie now in the hank. This ■Winmittee. "Those-who hfJ chiefiyTorm ed that committee had recommended that the regulation should be brought up to the preseftt period. The report of the French minister of finance, from whose inforata- tion the means of increasing their cash circulation had been ascertained, was ano ther strong, proof of the expediency-of the' intended bill. The advances made by the bank to the amount olNiv e millions in cash, for the purpose of withdrawing an equal sum in notes, arose from the best of mo tives. Hat) it been foreseen that metallic treasure to that amount _would have been drained from this cuuntry, to convert into French francs, neither the government nor the bank would have been so deficient ol their duty as to have countenanced the ex pedient. By the advantage thus unfairly: and unexpectedly takeu, our public circu lation of cash was of course deficient to that amount —The lion, member was then make his motion, when Speaker referred toJhe usual rules of the 1 house on the introduction of such a bill. 4 Mr. Peel, thanking tlie right hon. gen tleman, moved that the house do now re solve itself into a committee of the whole house.—Agreed to. Mr. Huskisson took the chairin thecom- mitteer when Sir It. Peel moved, that leave be given to bring in a bill for restraining the bank directors, trow making cash-pay ments under certain notices, etc. The house was resumed. Mr. Huskisson, as chairman of the com-" mittee, brought up tlie report, and folloxv- ed it up by moving for leave to bring in the bill. It xvas agreed to; when Mr. Peel brought in the bill, which was read a first and second time. It was alterwards com mined to a committee of the whole l ouse. The report was afterwards received by the house, and the amendments xvere read and. agreed to. It was then ordered to be en grossed. London, April 5. American Treaty - the paragraph which appeared in a respectable evening piper of Saturday last, respecting the Newfound land trade, is not correct, as:*the .persons ;ed in it had no intimation whatever ol the intentions of his majesty’s govern ment to abandon the.fisheries to the Ame- icans, or to allow them to participate in them. Their memorials, which have been printed for circulation, sufficiently evince their feelings and fears on the subject. To er.able the public to form a correct view of tlie recent improvident -anti gratuitous uncessions to the U. S. all the represen tations which have been made by the. Bri tish North American colonists, -and the Newfoundland trade, should be printed and submitted to parliament, previous to the introduction of any bills to give effect to the late treaty. The more this subject is discussed, the more disastrous -will ap pear to be this tract)’. Its effects will be •lore extensively injurious than the privi leges which were allowed to the Ameri cans by the treaty of I"83, auS so it w-tll e seen, wl«en these papers are produced; for so far from the wishes or thu interests f British North America, having been at tended to,orprotected,in thelale treaty,the colonists are left in a much "’worse condi tion than they were before the late Ameri can war, and such is the opinion of all the pc’i'so.osvve have seen, who can speak prac tically, cth this interesting subject. We trust, whatever bounties or indu!gcncies : it is in contemplation to grant to the peo ple of Nexvfoumlland, that the same xviil be given to the inhabitants of the king's colonies on'-the continent of North Ame rica, who are engaged in the fisheries, whose loyalty, public spirit, -and enter prise, give them equal cliiins to the pru- tectinn and encouragement ol the legisla- tu-e .ind government.— Morning Fost. Fexv political changes have caused deeper impression on the inanuficlnring- and commercial classes of the British com munity, tiian the recent transfer of the Floridasto the U. S; not from any spirit of jealousy or repining at the American go vernment, justly improving all ailxornta- ges xvhich nature, locality, or a combina- uatioo of circumstances, have placed with in their reach, but because of the striking contrast between this activity and enter-, prize, compared with the apathy and want of foresight so remarkable in our minis ters, on Trans-Atlantic affairs. Eveiy body seems to ask, what lias our cabinet done in this important transaction, and whither will this aggrandizing spirit push itself, if xve look oti as unconcertied spec tator*? Our empire and influence in the New World are not hall so great as they were fifty years ago-—Our policy, former ly so active and so much alive on the re als so obvious, that the-only thing wliichj mote-t shores of the Atlanti se-. med to require any apology, was that ’ the measure liafl not bees sooner proposed. But wh.en the report of the committee xvas •'resented, the reason would be explained "•by the measure had not been protiosed at a more early period. The right nonor- ib e gentleman (Mr.Tierney) had expres- -ed surprise that the measure had not been proposed last session, when the hank re- -triition act was continued. But tiie house 'iitisl recollect, that at the period alluded to the strongest expectations we»e enter tained that the restriction would only be ontinued for a very short period,and also oat the state of the exchanges would im prove. These hopes had not been realiz- " Upon - the whole, therefore, he was convinced that, under the circumstances m which this measure was brought forward the house would feel the necessity of agree-. Mr R. Peel explained—-The house had not been appealed to without ample docu ments that the existing circomstances de- mantled *uch a measure. The issue of g.ld, which had proved so ipjurious to this country, hy withdrawing so large a sum' from our circulation, xxms a sufficient rea- son, without even any’yther proof; and al lowing that there had been no particular drain since the 29th of January, there was no cause w hy xve should delay the meas-. are a single moment after the revert of the carcely felt; nay, it would seem is if tlie whole of cur.views xvere confined to the rotttn concerns of Kurepe, and r.s if w ■ dreaded to extend our attention beyond them.

That the principal part of us aiein tant r egular trade between this port an the United States, and have in viuko. quence been-frequently compelled to e ploy the ship brokers established here, whose impositions, anti inattention to o business, we have always had occasion complain. That it i* only since Mr. Beasley, oi consul at-this port, availing himself of privilege of his appointment, undertook'I act for such of his countrymen, as chose t, call upon him Tor that purpose, that otr business has been done to our satisfaction- a striking proof of the advantage of comp, tition.
