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 nation is placed. Divested of all moral resour ces, and without the. moans of re-organizing or eventing, I consider lire country as prostrate, im povcri» !t°J> without any other hope to restore her but the n.R ura ' character of all her children.— Without tlt».' virtues, or the royal character of Woman, I aUou' J prcfcr lo fall in tiro field,or by the sword to quell tempestuous a sea, or stop the ruling of the win,’’ "!‘ OBO 80 t" 11 of peril and danger.

Am 1 when Providence which guards the safety of na tions, has committed to my zeal the safety of my country, when the power above knows all the pu rity of my intentions, will it abandon mo in the discharge of the mission to which it has culled me. I answer no! it will not! liut to repose without fear upon the glorious soil where my destiny is fixed, to determine without inquietude the future fate of lire country, and to assure myself of the support and good wishes of my fellow citizens, it is indispcirsiblc i should hero traces the rules of my conduct, and the line of my operations. Persuaded that rewards and punishments are the two poles upon which all civil governments roll, and that iu their opera tion they dispense their effects to lire good and the bad, I am convinced that opinions do not con stilule tin offence. Kept within their proper spheres, they shall not impede iu any wise the march of my administration; and they shall not servo as the motives for punishments or rewards. Imbued with the lessons of our history, which cedes not to that of the rest of the word, I sliati be the fust to regulate my conduct by llio en lightened spirit of the age, in modifying it accord ing as the case may require, to our morals, our information up. J our wants. Finally, without ever forgetting that I owe my career entirely to (lie people, from whom flows all power, and whose welfare is the object of ail public stations. I shall not shrink from the most aiduous service, and I shall fulfill entirely my duties. No par tiality to persons, nor sympathies,nor antipathies, nor any thing which can in the slightest manner interfere with the most imperial justice shall en ter into the act »of my administration. This I promise you, fellow, citizens, and I am rejoiced that the solicitude exhibited by the national rep resentatives, is an earnest that they will not shrink from any work, tho difficulties of which they are aide to surmount. Trusting, icilow citizens, that you will accord to mo lire indul gence necessary to human imperfections, that you will ho charitable in interpreting my intentions, and that yon will always retain the discernment l.vUvccn orV, of tho slightest nature, I ask you lor your confidence in my declarations, which if I am not mistaken, I have never forfeited, and for that submission and respect which is due to the authorities.

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.

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.
