A bill has boon introduced und is now before Ihe
Legislature of New Vork, with a view of meeting j
(lie crisis which has arisen in that Slate, and for ,
slaying the injury likely to result, from tho sns- ,
pension of specie payments. We have only room t
for a synopsis of the bill—specie payments aie *
by it suspended for one year.
... i
The first section provides for slaying legal pro- t
feedings lor the space oflwelvo months, against n
the banka, and exempts individual stockholders t
during iliut period, from any personal liability for '
the debts of tho bunks. v
Sect. “J. That on all suits which may bo com i
monecd, no cost shall ho recoverable; nor shall c
interest ho allowed beyond the value of 7 per cent; .
and that suits shall bo instituted in the Supreme ,
Court only. (
Sec. 3.—Restricts the issues and circulation of i
bills in proportion to tho amount of the charters '
oflho hanks, respectively. To those having a
capital of 100,000 —is allowed a circulation of i
150.000 — to 150,000, is allowed 175,000 —to I

j minishing as tho capital increases, A hank with o
| a capital ol 2,000,000 is entitled lo tho privilege
| of issuing 1,200,000 only. }
j Sec. 4—Authomcs the hank commissioners to ,
ascertain the extent of issues—and requires Ihe I
| assent of tho banks, to this arrangement within 1
ten days;—the agreement to receive tho cotpo- 1

to-day.
Wasiuxotox, May 4, 1637.
Gentlemen—l have licstowed on your commu
nication the utlmitive consideration which is due
to the opinions, wishes and interests of the re -
pectahle portion of my fellow citizens, in wlio.c
behalfyou act.
In the correctness of the judgment which, in
the exercise of an undoubted light you have in
such general terms pronounced upon particular
points in the policy of the late ami present ad
ministrations, you cannot expect me to concur.
My opinions on those points were distinctly an
nounced to the Ameiican people before my elec
tion, and I have seen no reason lo change (hern.
But, however much I may differ with you upon
them, as well as in respect to the causes of the
existing evil, you may he assured of the warm in
terest I shall ever (cel, in whatever concerns lire
mercantile community ; of my deep sympathy
with those who are now suffering Irom the pres
sure of the limes, ami of my readiness to adopt
any measures for their relief, consistent with my
convictions of duty.
The propriety of giving to the Collectors of
the Customs, instructions of the character desired,
necessarily involves inquiries into the extent of
the power of tho Executive over tho subject; the
| present condition of tho Treasury, and ils proha-
I hie receipts and expenditure* for the remainder of
of the year. These examinations have been di
rected and are in progress, und Ihe result will be
communicated by the Secretary of the Treasury,
to the Collector at New York, who will he in
structed lo give it publicity. A few days will be
required to arrive at a safe conclusion upon some
parts of the investigation, hut there shall be no
unnecessary delay.
The other subjects to which yon have called
my attention, are, first, an immediate repeal of the
order requiring specie in payment on sales of pub
lie land*, issued by my predecessor, fir tbc pur
pose of enforcing a strict execution of tho Act of
Congress, which forbids the allowance of credit
on such sales ; and secondly, on un extra session
of Congress I have til't been able to satisfy my
selfllmt I ought, Urtdef existing circumstances,
to interfere with the order referred (o.
You must ho aware of the obstacles to an im
mediate convocation of Congress, arising from
the imperleet state of the representation ii, one
branch of that body. .Several of the Stales have
not yet chosen their Representatives, and are not
to do so for some months to come. Independent
of that consideration, I do not sec at present suffi
cient reusoim to justily me in requiting an earlier
meeting, than that appointed by tbo Constitu
tion.
1 am, gentlemen, very respectfully, Your obe
dient servant, M. VAN BUREN.
Tho following were submitted to
the meeting ;
Resolved, That a strict construceie'U of the act
of 1820, the only net which could hax 3 been re
ferred lo in the|Prcsident’s answer, was (Unknown
during (ho administration of Mr. Monro. o all d
Mr. Adams, and to Gen. Jackson during the /* rs t
seven yearn of his administration; that tho necas
oily for such Construction is not assigned in the
Specie Circular ns one of the reasons for issuing
it, and wc consider tho distinction made by the
President between tho notes of solvent Banks
and specie, designating tho former ns credit, to
be erroneous, and at variance with tho true in
lersta of tho country.
Resolved,\\M wo dwell with satisfaction upon
the fact mentioned by tho President, that several
of the Slates have not yet chosen Representatives,
and wo (rust that a protecting Providence will
I direct the people of those Elates to (ho choice of
representatives who have wisdom lo precoivo,
and virtue to pmmio llio best interest of the
country.
Resolved, that wo yield our hearty assent lo
the preamble of tho act incorporating tho first
Bank ol the United States, which declares such
an Institution to be “conducive lo the successful
conducting of the national finances, and-"prod na
tive of considerable advantages to trade und in
dustry in general.”
Resolved, That the interests of the capitalists
merchants, manufacturers, mechanics and indus,
trious classes, are dependent upon each other,
and any measures of tho government which pros
trate the active business men of the community,
will also deprive honest industry of its reward,
and wo call upon all our fellow citizens to unite
with us in removing from power those who persist
m a system that is destroying tho prosperity of
our country.
Resolved, That the chief causes of tho existing
distress are tho defeat of Mr. Cluy,s land hill, the
removal of the public deposilos, the refusal to re
chatter the Bank of tho United Elates, and tho
issuing of Ihe Specie Uitcular. The Land Bill
was passed by tho I’oople.a Representatives and
vetoed by tho President. The People,s Repre
sentatives declared by a solemn resolution, that
the public depositee were safe in the United States
Bank; within a few weeks thereafter, the Presi
dent removed the public - deposites. The Peo
ple’s Representatives passed a bill rescinding the
Specie Circular; the President destroyed it bv
omitting to return tt within the limited period—
and in the answer to our address, President Van
Buren declares that tho Specie Circular, was is
sued by his predecessor, omitting all notice of
tho Secretary of the Treasury, who is amenable
directly to congress, and charged by the act crea
ting his department with the superintendence of
the Finances and who signed tho order. We
llreroforc,
Resolve, That all these circumstances indicate
an infusion of monarchist principles into our
I system, which demands the prompt and regular
action of every patriot.
The urn, to eiiEVENT ism.—Some of tho
New Vork city journals continue to moan over
the Bill to prevent Usury, fearing that things
will be worse than they arc—when, next to tho
administration who have brought ou this crisis
the usurers have been the instruments of disarm
ing our Merchants of the power to, withstand it
and have inflated tho bubble which is bursting.
We wish the journalists, instead of rnoaes would
array a few arguments to combat these proposi
tions, established by tho powerful essay of the.
“ Rhode Islander” upon this subject;
“I have attempted lo show that it is unlike
merchandise in the following essential feature*.
Ist- The money is tho creation of government,
merchandise of individual industry. Its i7i
is therefore different.
2d. That the object of government in •creating
money was ns a currency for the convenience of
all, whereas the object ol the product of individ
ual industry is the advantage of tbo individual
alone.
3d. That the title of an individual to merchan
dise is absolute, tlie public having no interest in
it. But that his title to a portion of the eurreu
ey i* qualified, he having no legal, at least no
moral right to pervert the object of its creation.
4th. That money differs from all merchandise
in tho power which is inseparable front it. That
this power was conferred upon it by government
and that it is the right and duly of the govern
ment to see that a power imparted for the gener
al good, shall not ho perverted to the injury of
the public.
slh. That this power is tire necessary conse
quence of tho character imposed upon it by gov- i
eminent, money being tho only instrument ot ox- i
change, and therefore indispensable to the business ;
of all. |
Gth. That money being generally in the hands •
of the few, the faculties f.r creating an artificial i
tearcily, are much greater than for creating an at t
.iScial scarcity of merchandise-
From lit iV. O. Bee, May 13.
MEXICO.
The two following highly important docu-,
menu will be read with great interest by our
readers: , j
ADDRESS pronounced by bis Excellency the i
President of flic Republic of Mexico before |
Congress, upon his talcing the oath of office.
1 am about, gentlemen, to give expression to !
the most solemn and important wishes that my *
mouth can utter—wishes that shall be accora- I
plishryi as far as honor and conscience shall per
mit.
The task before me is extremely aiduous and
difficult, but I shall have the confidence of not j
avoiding it in the midst of the greatest obstaalea. i
But what are these o!% acleg ? This is not m
opportune time for me to enumerate them ; and I
shall reaerve their recital until 1 shall address the '
nation in a brief manner, which 1 shortly propose ■
to do.
In the meanwhile, oh dignified representatives,!
1 should assure you, that I shall confront all kinds i
of pcriPand labor, which the country requires j
from me! I shall he actuated by a constant and
unreserved zeal, by a pur,; ami righteous inten
tion, and trusting these qualities, may not fail me
to accomplish the immense obligations imposed
upon the chief magistrate.
I rely upon the efficacious co-operation of Con
gress ami the authorities of all tanks throughout
the state. I place myself under the light of intel
ligence and good disposition of the good people
of Mexico. I count upon the patriotism of the
brave army, and also upon the intelligence of
friendly nations, and invoke the divine protection
of the supreme arbiter of nations. Under such
auspices can I doubt of success 1 I have said
it !
The I’ur.siDErrr nr the Rsi-emie ov Mexico
to ins Fr.i.ow Citizens :
Penetrated by sincere gratitude for the unlim
ited favors by wbieli I have been honored by the
nation, and allied to their will by the tender tic of
a citizen of Mexico, my honor is besides engaged
to make all sacrifices that the country may re
quire from mo. It is impossible for me to refuse
the charge which has this day been confercd; how
far I may consider my merits as disproportioneU
to the duties, and my feeble comprehension be
neath the station. Far from aspiring to such a
post, 1 based all my glory upon the hope of
avenging by the svrord the outrages that have
been committed against the nation, by combat
ting the enemies of the integrity of our territory.
Animated by this dominant idea, I determined to
quit the quiet retreat Which I enjoyed in Europe,
long before my recall, 1 would have presented
. myself on the fields of Texas In demand a proper
satisfaction, or have succornbed in the attempt to
the implacable fiat of destiny before regarding
with indifference the humiliation of Mexico.—
This, fellow citizens, was the single object of my
return, and the principal motive for my voyage.
The penury of tin Treasury which hasdelay
cd from day to day the proper expedition, arrest-
Ct! my efforts, and impeded the accomplishment
of my most ardent wishes. Under this conjunc
ture came the election of the chief magistrate of
the republic; and if the election fell upon me, it
would have, been unpardonable had 1 withdrawn
myself from the will of the nation, instead of con
sidering that will as it merited, with the most pro
found veneration. The constitution forbid me
from refusing the office, while my social position
commanded me to accept it. In circumstances
less imperious, in times more favorable, 1 should
not have hesitated to divest myself of this respon
sibility, but at the present moment it was not fit
ting I should establish such an example.
You will see mo bearing up against all kinds
of difficulties and perils, but I solicit you to take
into consideration the small share of merit I pos
sess, ami the many obstacles by which I am sur
rounded in the melancholy situation in which the

From the Albany Argus, May 11.
At a meeting of tho officers of all the banks in
this city, hold at 8 o’cloek this morning, the fol
lowing resolution was unanimously adopted :
At u meeting this morning of the officers of all
tho Banks in this city, it was,
Resolved, That under existing circumstances,
it is expedient and necessary to suspend pay
ments in specie.
In the moan time, the notes of all the Banks
will be receive!) at tho dilVcrcnt Banks, as usual,
in payment of debts, and in deposit ; and, ns the
indebtedness of the community to the Banks
greatly exceeds the amount of their liabilities to
the public, it is hoped and cxpecledjthat the.notca
of llie different Bunks will pass cuircnt, as usual, ;
and that the state of the times will soon bo such
as to render tho resumption of specie payments
practicable.
This measure, under the circumstances, was
deemed to be indispensable, although every thing
here was in the most quiet and sound condition. |
1 There has been at no time the least run upon j
: our banks, and the measure ofcompulaary suspen
-1 -ion lias not only produced no excitement, but
] has met, so far as we have heard, with utlqualifi
| ed approval.
j We learn that the banks in the city of Troy,
| at Watervliet and Calskill, have adopted the
' same precautionary measure.

A fresh storm is brewing. It is coming upon us
like the storm cloud of the Mediterranean, small
at first, but hurriedly, and afterwards spreading
across tho whole heavens. It becomes men to
look around them, gather in their sails, and be
prepared. There is no trust to bo reposed in any
tiring, however firm it may seem.
Money is ns hard as ever. The Shylock’s hold
on with a never dying grasp. No interest can
tempt them to relinquish their hold. We hear
that one of the Mobile Banks lias suspended.
For the sake of that devoted city we hope it may
not lie so, though we fear the worst.
Colton and Produce—we are tired of writing
about them. If you have money, you can get ci

Our Banks are still on terra fuma. Long may

relative to these institutions to-morrow.

MONEY MARKET.
Friday, May 12.
We are only in the beginning of excitement
and confusion.—The more we look at this grand
Faiconi trick, called tho suspension of specie
payments, the more wo are dissatisfied with it.
A v iolation of all morals and integrity in the con
duct of irublic institutions ought to pay tho same
penalty that such conduct docs in private life.-
Wo ate persuaded from fads within our know
ledge, that tire banks have suspended specie pay
ments in order to save the directors and largo
monopolists in foreign bills. Under the cover of
a charter th.Oy act the roguo. Preparations are
now secretly making to scud large remittances in
specie in tire next packet. On the very day the
suspension took place, about §440,000 was drawn
from tile banks with the concurrence of tho direc
tors, in order to send to Philadelphia or to Eng
land. Yesterday a largo house in South street
, drew §IO,OOO, while the poor bill holder had to
make the best of his way out of the bank. A vc
f ry worthy man came to our ollico and informed
us yesterday that on asking tho Bank of America
to change a five dollar notojbr change only, the
■ employe significantly pointed to a pile of glitter
ing musketry. All the banks—or nearly all tho
• banks arc converted into garrisons—and thus tho
suspension of specie payments, in order to ena
, hie the jugglers behind to help themselves, is to
be enforced in a free country, at the point of the
bayonet.
This will never do—and we warn them ail in
time, that such an utter prostration of integrity
will be tho funeral knell of New York.
The stock market again rccceded—though the
United Slates hank advanced a little. Stock job
bers are all in confusion. Tho Board yestoiday
was in a high state of excitement in consequence
of a renewed discussion cf tho proposition to sus
pend specie payment for all their past contracts.
What fastidiousness! Stockjobbers, one half of
whoso contracts is illegal, to talk about specie
paying and lienor! What delicacy! What puri
' ty !
The business in bullion is now rapidly increas
i ing. Specie is already 10 per cent, as. compared
I with paper money, and it will be soon 30, or 30
f per cent premium.
i The great difficulty produced by this coup
■ dd'argent, is only beginning. Change can hard
■ ly be gut, and shin piasters are already beginning
■ to make their appearance. From every point of
. the compass, tiro nows pours upon us of a gene
ral suspension of speeio payments. This simul
taneous movement almost gives it the appearance
of s.viv’t concert. The banks of Now Jersey,
Philadeij'ni'ij'lVow Haven, and all round about
lac country arts suspending. The probability
is that a private effort is making to sus
tain llio United States Bank, at the sacrifice
of all and every fo.'.tto Bank. Is not this
suspension a movement of W r - Biddle’s, to force
the rochartcr of his instiluti. ol1 ’ From certain
fuels, we believe so. By Mr. BiJols’p visit to
Washington—the lone of tho Wail si.-eef prints
and various other circumstances—this moyciPßOt
would reaiy appear to have been concerted w ith
the knowledge of tho President of tire United
States Bank. Tho government, indeed, will lobe
its deposites—but who cares for them! They
have helped the crisis upon us.
It is not right, however that the great mass of
the community, who hold tho bills of the broken
hanks, should be cheated merely to help the Bank
of England or the Bank of the United states. A
breach of public faith will not sanction such a re
sult. The evils, disorders, and confusion of the
present times, will increase upon us unless spe
cie payments are instantly restored by our leg
islature m the manner pointed out in another
column.

W’e limed it and find that with new moulds and in

By moulding ten hours in the day, it would therefore
