T T THEREAS fliameful depredations have been corti.
V V mitted on the Illand of Great Vedtffavs, a great
proportion of the flock killed and carried ofl, and the Ihell
banks robbed, in order to prevent the future ddlru&ion of
their property, tlie Proprietors, in the mod positive man
ner,- forbid aH persons tVem carrying dogs on, or hunting .
on that illand; and, to prevent thole from running into an
error who may think they may continue to do so with im
punity, they are informed that the illand and its depend
encies is now under the direction of Mr. James Adams,
who has orders to kill every dog that he finds there, to
•whom foe wr belonging. This, if severe, is indispensably
neceflary, and will meet the coincidence of every candid,
mind, as it is utterly impoSible to prevent flock from run
ning wild where there is a continual hunting and firing of
guns. They also forbid all persons taking fbells from their
Ibetl banks without permiiTion firft obtained.
All tltofe deleted in violation of the above notice will

THE BANK.
P HE Committee of Secrecy appointed to inquire vhe-
X ther it may be expedient further to continue the Re
ftriaion contained in two A&s made in the last Seflion of
Parliament, refpecftjng payment in cash by the Bank, have
inquired accordingly, and agreed upon the following Re
port, viz.
\ our Committee have, in the firft place, examined the
total amount of ouiftanding demands on the Bank of Eng
land, and of the funds for diicharging the lame, and find,
from the examination of the Governor and Deputy Go
vernor cf the Bank, and the documents produced by them,
that the total amount of outstanding demands on theßank was,
on the nth day of this instant, i7js?&9°l* and that the
total amount of the funds foi discharging die fame (with
out including the permanent debt due from Government
of 1 i,656,8001. which bears an interest of 3 per cent.) was,
on the fame day, 21,418,460!. leaving a balance of furpl us
in favor of the Bank (exclusive of the above mentioned
debt from Government) of 3,839,550].
Your Committee next proceeded to examine the principal
articles of which the above mentioned fium of 21,418,4601.
being the credit fide of the account, is made up, with a
view of afeertaining hew far ti t Bank might be enabled
to resume its accustomed payments in cafti, in case the re
ftriclion at present subsisting flinuld be removed; and vour
Committee find, that the advances to Government have,
on the one hand, been so much reduced, lince the 25th of
February last, as to amount, on the ibid 1 nh of this in.
flint, to no more than the sum of 4,258,1401. while, on
the other hand, the cash and bullion in the Bank have in
c, * fed’ to an amount more than five times the value of
that at which they Hood on the fame 25th cf February last,
and much above that at which they have flood at any time I
since the beginning of September, 1795.
Your Committee further find, that the ceurfe of exchanga
with Hamburg is at present unusually favorable to this
country; and that, from the ft tin.ion of our trade, there
is goodreafon to imagine it will so continue, uniels politi
cal circumstances should occur to it.
Your Committee next proceeded to examine the Go
vernor and Deputy Governor of the Bar k, as to their o
pinion of the inconveniences which (Fray have ariftn from
the reftritlion imposed on the Bank for making payment in
cash, and of the expediency of continuing iudi reftriclicn,
and your Committee find that they are not aware, cf any
such inconvenience, and that they are fupperced in that
idea by knowing that the Bankers and Traders of London,
who had a right by tire Adi of Parliament to demand thite.
fourths of any depofite in cash which they had made in the
Bank of 5001. or upwards, have only claimed about one
sixteenth. And your Committee find that the Court of
Dircdlors of the Bank did, on the 26th cf Oclober, 1797,
come to resolution, a copy of which is fubjeined to this
report.
Your Committee having further examined the Governor
and Deputy Governor, as to what may be meant by the
political circumstances mentioned in that resolution, find,
that they underhand by them the state cf hostility in which
the nation is still involved,andparticularly filch apprehcnli: ns
as may be entertained of invalion either in Ireland -or this
country; together with the pcfiibility there may be of ad
vances being to be made from this country to Ireland; and
that, from those circumstances so explained, and from the
nature of the war, and the avowed purpose cf the enemy
to attack this country by means cf its public credit, and to
distress it in its financial operations, they are led to think
that it will be expedient to continue the reftriclion now
subsisting, with the irierve for partial ill'ues cf cash at the
diferetion of the Bark, or the nature cf that contained in
the present Adis; aid that it may be so continued without
injury to the credit of the Bank, and with advantage to
the Nation.
Your Committee therefore, having taken into confidert
tion the general situation of the country, are of opinion,
that, netwithftanding the affairs of the Bank, both with
refpedl to the general balance of its accounts and its capa
city of making payments in specie, are in such a (late, that
it might with fiatety relume its accustomed functions under
a different slate cf public affairs, yet, that it will be expe
dient to continue the rcftricV.olis now subsisting on such
payments for such time, and under such limitations, as to
the wifdbm of Parliament may leem fit.
Copy cf a Resolution cf the Court cf Directors cf the
Bank.
At a Court cf Dirtclr.rs at the Bank, on
1 hurfuay the 26th OcluDer, 1797.
Resolved, ‘ ‘
1 hat it is the opinion of this Court, that the Governor
and Company of the Bank of England, are enabled to issue
specie in any manner that may be uet med necefiary for the
accommodation of the public; and the Court have no he
sitation to declare, that the affairs of the Bank are in such
a slate that it can with fafety relume its accustomed functi
ons, if the political circumstances of the country do not
render it inexpedient: But the Dirtvlers, deeming—it-fb*-
reign to their province to judge of these points, wish to sub
mit to the wifdcm cf Parliament, whether, as it has been
once judged proper to lay a reftriflion on the payments of
the Bank in cafli, it may or may not be prudent to continue
the fame.
the bank meeting.
k efterday a Court of Proprietors was held at the Bank,
and we have particular fatisfaclion in announcing the pro
ceedings that passed.
Mr. Raikes, the Chairman, acquainted the Proprietors,
that he and the Deputy Governor nad had an interview on
the preceding day with Mr. Pitt, and had aifo depciited
with the Secret Committee of the kL ule of Commons a
ftatemer.t ot the allairs of the Bank, which he should alio
lav before the Proprietors.
Mr. Raikes then infoimed tlie Court, that the Minister
had proposed to extend the further limitation of time when
tne Bank should reuime its payments in specie; that it was
not necefiary for him to judge of the urgency of political
motives, which might render such a step aclvlTeable; buFTie
had the plcafure to inform.the Court, that tlie Bank was in
fiich a Bate of affluence as to be ready to pay all the de
mands on it in specie whenever called upon.
J he consent of the Proprietors was then a/ked for ad
v ancing the amount of the Land and Malt Tax to Go
vernment, amounting to 2,750,000!. which .was unani*
moullv agreed to.
1 he business of the Meeting being over, Mr. Hoare re
pre ented to the Diredlors the great inconvenience arising
from the present scarcity of silver, ani was informed that a
coinage was in agitation.
The Meeting then adjourned, highly fatisfied at the
communications made by the Chairman/
December 29. Dispatches arrived 1 from India aerofs
the continent announce that Tippco Saib has determined
to profit ot present circumstances, which are very favorable;
his dispositions are so threatening, and his preparations fe
foi njidublejr that it has been thought qeceffary to fend a®
