THE CHRONICLE. 
Anfwer to (No. 1.) 
ON the communication of the 
refolution (No. 1.) on the 17th of 
anuary 1795, the Chancellor of 
the Exchequer expreffed his thanks 
for the communication; and faid, 
he fhould arrange his meafures in 
conformity: but that though he 
was going to reduce immediately 
the fum of the Treafury bills, it 
might not be in his power to bring 
them down to the fum ftipulated 
till after the firft payment of the, 
_ loan. 
Anfwer to(No.2.)  , 
The Chancellor of the Exche- 
quer having read the paper, feemed 
fully convinced of the propriety of 
the reprefentation; and declared, 
that it fhould have been attended 
to on his part before, but that, in 
the multiplicity of public affairs, it 
had been forgotten. He, however, 
faid, that it fhould be complied with 
out of hand, and that he would or- 
der 1,200,000]. to be paid to the 
Bank, on that account, immedi- 
ately. 
Anfwer to (No. 4.) 
: ON prefenting this paper, Mr. 
Pitt faid, it was not his fault that 
the account had not been diminifh- 
ed, for he had ordered, fome time 
fince, two warrants to be made out, 
amounting ‘to above 600,000l. 
which were now completing, and 
would foon come down to us; fhew- 
ing, at the fame time, the prepara- 
tory parts thereof. The Governor 
then replied, that 600,000. would 
not nearly reduce the amount to 
the agreed fum; that our calls had 
lately been fo great, with large 
drains of cafh and bullion, as made 
Us carneftly with to leffen our cre- 
143 
dits as much as poffible; and then 
he wifhed Mr. Pitt would, without 
particular inconvenience to him- 
felf, name a day from whence the 
refolution of the court fhould take 
place. The Deputy Governorafked 
if Mr. Pitt could do this next Mon- 
day? (when the chairmen were to 
meet him on the national-ftock bu- 
finefs) He replied, he could not, 
he believed, be ready to do it by 
that time, but he might probably 
then inform us farther about it; and 
added his hope, that the Bank did 
not, fer this year, mean to reftriét 
him from the credit of 500,0001. on 
Treafury bills. 
Anfwer to (No. 5.) 
MR. PIT? acknowledged, That 
he had not, in his note of Wednef- 
day laft, entered into any particu 
lars about the payment of the Trea- 
fury bills; but that he meant, if the 
Bank affifted him with the two 
millions and an half in queftion, 
on Exchequer bills, payable out of 
the growing produce of the confo- 
lidated fund, in the quarters for 
Oober next and the April follow- 
ing, he did mean to pay part of the 
Bank’s advance on the Treafury 
bills out of that money; but he 
hoped that the whole of it would 
not be required, but that it fhould 
be provided for out of other funds. 
—The Governor then obferved to 
him, how frequent promifes had 
been given to reduce this advance 
to the limit of 500,0001. which had 
never yet been carried into effeét ; 
and begged leave to reprefent how 
defirous the Bank court was to 
have the payment of the Treafu- 
ry acceptances otherwife arranged 
than at the Bank; which Mr. Pitt 
faid, fhould be taken up on a future’ 
occafion, The Governor faid, he 
could
