the arguments ftated more at large 
in the evidence. 
The Committee have thus gone 
through the chief points which have 
occurred in their enquiry refpecting 
the caufes which produced the 
Order in Council of the 26th of 
February laft, as refulting from the 
evidence taken by them, and the 
accounts laid before them. They 
fubmit the fame to the confideration 
of the Houfe; but as the minutes of 
their proceedings are inferted in the 
former part of this report, and as 
the Houfe is thereby poffeffed of 
the evidence on the whole of this 
fubje&, in great detail, the mem- 
bers of it will be enabled to fupply 
any omiffions, and to correét an 
detects which may be found in this 
fummary. 
The Committee being defirous 
of confining themfelves to thofe 
matters on which they have thought 
proper to call evidence, and fenfible 
of the difficulty (even at all times) 
of appreciating the extent and influ 
* ence of alarm, forbear from advert- 
ing to the effects produced upon the 
fate of pecuniary tranfactions and 
circulation, by the apprehenfions of 
invafion generally prevalent towards 
the clofe of the lait year, and in the 
beginning of the prefent, but of 
which the operations muft doubt- 
lefs have been confiderable. Nor 
will they attempt to eftimate how 
far the interruption given to the 
banking operations of many great 
commercial cities, by the troubles 
and calamities which have agitated 
Europe, and the entire ruin of ma- 
ny commercial houfes and eftab- 
lifhments, may have tended to. de- 
range the accuftomed courfe and 
confidence of general circulation. 
The Committee think it fuff- 
cient merely to enumerate the con-

fiderations of fuch general notoriety, 
and to fubmit them, without farther 
obfervation, to the wifdom of the 
Houfe.
