Wo must leave to néw habits the time to become developed and cousolidated, Rome was not buitin aday, tis to time, 1 say once again, that you must leave the task of developing credit, France is ina very god stuation; there is no country in the wold in whe A commerce is more solid y established, in which Lank- rupteies are less numerous, in which Lusiness is beter. Wha ‘ed of establishing new banks? I ask you when on 1! off, why change? To change in order to ame!tol Jam far from opposing that; but ameliora- tious can be obtained with what we have. I, on the utrary, we wish to create new things, to establish many banks, they will endeavor to embarrass cach other, and produce’ no good results PxesipesT—Thus, then, in your opinions, the example in Scotland is not conclusive, and you consider the banks of Scotlind to be rather banks of ‘circulation than bauks of issuer Baron pz Rotuscni.v—Completely, and the proof is that when they have the shehtest wants—and that is very often a cause of crises—they get mnouey from the Bank of England, It has been said very truly that it is the great speculations made at Liv in cotton which are the cause of the present crisis, and that they made the Bank of England raise its rateof discount, The Bank of England considers iteelf, and with reason, the guardian of the commercial operations of the country in general, You wil! tell me thata man can be bis own guardian, and that is true, but ag great commercial operations produce etlect on alt fingtand, the Bank geta alarmed when it sees ope- rations Which may derange the entire situation, When itsees great speculations organized, or great wants of money to send to Turkey or other countries from which it does not return, it, begins by rendering money rarer. When # ses, as now, operations in cotton cur- vied too far, it cays:——"* We will not tend the hand to that-— we will"force holders of colon to sell; and in orderto do 80 we refuse to discount their bills"? That ts what takes place, aud the Bank of France is affected by that situa- tion. Presipent—Admitting that the principle of a sole bank is proferable as regards circulation and the security of the note, you consider, no doubt, as an essential condi- on of the existence of a bank of issue, the constant con- vertibility of notes? Baron pk Rornscsino—Ob, certainly, That is the fundamental condition, Br WR RPA CoN Pexsipext—Now, ging farther, and* comparing ty orga on of foreign Danks with the organization of the Bank of France, which is the one, among these dif- ferent institutions, that you are disposed to consider, as rovards the good thanagement of business, as the most perfect, or the least imperfect, Baron px Rorascuirp—~A bank of one corntry cannot be compared with the bank of another; there are two. creat differences in the situation, Thus the Bank of ‘ngland is perfectly well organized for the country ia ~, ‘ch it acts; and yet if you were to adopt the same ations for the Bank of France that bank could not exist, The Bank of England, under the present state of things, ."89 4 grest deal of public funds in its till, and can diapos,® Of them without having anything to demand ‘any ove, x"? der lo remain master of the money markt; whether it bo.'?oWS on those funds or whether it sells tho securities it. wis pital from the Stock Ex- change.

Presipent—You consider, then, that these two tnsti- stive d ferences respond to habits end manners diferent also, and that to desire to establish: the Bank of England in France, or the Bank of France in England, would be bad? Baron p¥ Roruscwuie-—I do not say bad, but perhaps of a nature to produce certain dangers, I believe that wo cannot follow im France the same sysiem as in England. M.
