of the Bank’s advance on the Trea- 
fury bills; and alfo a farther ad- 
vance of 500,000]. for his prefent 
accommodation, — The Governor 
and Deputy Governor went, as 
foon as the court was over, to wait 
on the Chancellor of the Exchequer, 
to acquaint him thereof. But at 
the fame time the Governor men- 
tioned to him, ‘that it was the ex- 
pe¢tation of the court that he fhould 
not take up any more on this fund 
until about February next, and then 
gradually, as the advance on the 
former year would be coming in. 
The Governor alfo faid, that from 
the prefent fituation of matters at 
the Bank, and from appearances 
for the future, it would be abfolute- 
ly out of the power of the court to 
make the advance, which had been 
done before, of 2,500,0001. on the 
vote of credit which might be paff- 
ed this feffion; and he felt it right 
to announce this in time to Mr. Pitt | 
before the loan, that he might make 
his arrangements accordingly ; 
which Mr. Pitt thanked him for hav- 
ing mentioned; faid he fuppofed 
he'might venture to iffie about 
1,500,0001. of fuch Exchequer bills 
to the public; and that he muft 
provide for the other million by an 
addition to the loan. The Gover- 
nor then repeated to Mr. Pitt the 
abfolute determination of the court 
to have the advance on the Trea- 
fury bills quite cleared off, by an 
early payment out of the monies 
received in part of the loan,

The Governor renewed the fub-

vance was reduced to 500,0001.

Interview with the Chancellor of the Ex- 
chequer,; 8th-of January, 1796. 
THE Governor and Deputy Go- 
vernor this-day waitedon the Chan- 
cellor of the Exchequer, by his de- 
fire, when he mentioned to them 
his requeft that the Bank would ac- 
commodate him with an advance of 
500,0001. which he wanted for the ~ 
purpofe of paying off fums due to 
the army agents, and for which he 
would pledge Exchequer bills on 
the land and malt of the prefent _ 
year; and if the payments made 
upon the loan for this year fhould 
amount in all before the end of this 
month to above §,800,000l. the 
excefs beyond that fum, as far as 
500,0001. fhould be employed in re- 
paying the Bank’s advance on the 
Exchequer bills on the credit of the 
‘ growing produce of the confolidat- 
ed fund for the fervice of the laft 
year. The Governor told Mr. 
Pitt that he did not think the court 
would object to fuch an advance, 
and defired him to write an official 
letter in time to be laid before the 
next court for that purpofe. ; 
Mr. Pitt faid, he had an immedi-
