Prom the Knickerbocker far April, . A lime or iinex:iiiii>led prosperity. BY WASHINGTON IRVING. (concluded from first page o f last paper.) On tlic first of June, the Regent issued n decree, permitting persons to have us much money ns they pleused in their pos session. Few, however, were in u stole to benefit hy this permission. There wits n run upon the hank, hut n royal ordi nance iiiiiinnediutely suspended payment until further orders. To relieve the pub lic mind, u city slock was created of twenty five millions, bearing nn interest of two nod n half per cent, for which hank notes were taken in exchange. The hank notes thus withdrawn from circula tion, were publicly burnt before the Ho tel deVille. The public, however, had lost confidence in every thing and every body, and suspected fraud, and collusion in lliose who pretended to bum the bills. A general confusion now took place in the financial world. Families who had lived in opulence, found themselves sud denly reduced to indigence. Schemers who hnd been revelling in the delusion, of princely fortunes, found their estates vanishing into thill air. Those who had any properly remaining, sought to secure it against reverses. Cautious persons found there was no sufely for properly in the country where the coin was continu ally shifting in value, and where a despo tism was exercised over public securities, and ev en over thd private purses of indi viduals. They bejfoh to send their ef fects into other coiiiitrii-AMffcii lo! on the 20tli of June, a royal mrct commanded Them to bring hack their effects, under penalty of forfeiting twice their value; and forbade them, under like penally, from investing their money in foreign stocks. This was soon followed hy an other decree forbidding any one to re tain precious stnin'4 in Ill's possession, nr to sell them to foreigners; nil must he de posited in the hank, ink exchange for de preciating paper! Execrations were pow poured out, on nil sides, against J,aw, and menaces of vengeance. What a contrast, in a short time, to the venal inceiisc that was offered tip to him! •►‘This pjsrsoo,” writes the Regent’s mother, ‘‘who wformerly worshipped as m god, is now <not sure of his life. It is astonishing How greatly terrified lie is. lie is as a dead man; lie i3 pale as a sheet, and it is said he can never get over it. .My son is not dismay ed, though he is threatened on hll sides, and is very much rois.” * About the middle of July, flic last grand attempt was made liy Law and the Regent, to keep up (/he system and pro vide for the immense emission of paper. A decree was fabricated giving the India Company tlie entire monopoly of com merce, on condition that it would, iif the* course of a year, reimburse six hundred million of livres of its lulls, ut the rale of fifty millions per mouth. On llie I7tli, this decree was sent to parliament to he registered, li at once raised a storm of opposition in their as sembly; and a vehement discussion look place. While that was going on, u dis astrous scheme was passing out of doors. The calamitous effects of the svstem had reacheh the humblest concerns of liu niiin life. Provisions had risen to nn enormous price; paper money was refused ut all the shops; the people had not u licrc wilhal to buy. bread. It h.ad'heeu found nlisnl'ilely indispensable to relax a liule from the suspension of specie payments, nail in allow small sums to he scantilv exchanged for popper. The doors of llie hank iiuil the neighboring street were inu mediately thronged with a famishing mul titude, seeking cash for hank notes often livres. iso great was the press aiujfstrug gle, that several persons were .-dOfel anj crushed to death. The innhcamed three of the bodies to the court yard <U the I’alais Royal. Some cijfd for flip ‘Re gent to cihne forth, niid9’ hold the effect of his system; others deinaiideil the death of law, the imposin', who had brought this misery and rjilu upon the nation. The momentVus critical: the popular fury was ragiugfli a tempest, when Le Rhine, the Shfcrelary of Slate, stepped forth, lie had previously sent for the and now only sought Uvnntlu time. Singling mil six or seven stout lul luv**r who seemed to lie 1 iTT llie mob: “Mv good fejhivvs,” said he, calmly, “carry away llfiise Jntffics and place them in mum'cTtiirch, mid tin n back quickly to me for your pay.” They inunediSfl'ly obeyed: a kind of fu neral procession was formed; the arrival of troops-dispersed tliofe who bud linger ed behind; nod l’ffris was probably %uvcd from an insurrection. A (unit ten o’clock in the morning, nil being quiet, Law ventured to go in bis carriage to llie Palais Royal. He~wns saluted with cries and curses, as lie pass ed tilting the streets; anil lie reached the Palais Royal in u terrible fright. The Regent moused himself with bis fears, but retained him with him, and sent off’ Ins carriage, which was assailed hv the limb, pelted with stones, and the glasses shivered. The news of this outrage was communicated to parliament in the midst ofn furious discussion of the decree for the commercial monopoly. The first president, who had been absent for a short time, rc-fntered,anil communicated the tidings in a whimsical couplet. “Messieurs Messieurs! bonne nnuvelle! Leraiinsso do Law est rcihiitern carrclle! - “Gemlcmen, Gentlemen! good news! Tlio carriage of Law is shivcicd to atoms!” j The members sprang up with joy:! “And Euw !” exclaimed they, “has been torn to pieces?” The president was ig- - norant of the result of the tumult; w here- ] upon the debate was cut short, the rnent- 1 hers hurrying to learn the particulars. Such was the levity with which public af- I lairs were treated, at this dissolute uml disastrous period. On the following day there was mi or dinance from the king prohibiting all popular assemblages; and troops were stationed at various points, and in all public places. The regiment of guards were ordered to bold itself in readiness; and the niusquotcers tube at their hotels, with their horses ready saddled. A num ber of small offices were opened, where people might cash small notes, though with great delay and difficulty. An edict was also issued, declaring that whoever should refuse to take bank notes in the conrse of trude, should forfeit double the amount! The continued nnd vehement opposi tion of parliament to the whole delusive system of finnnee, bad been a constant source of annoy mice to the Regent; but this obstinate rejection of bis last grand , experiment of a commercial monopoly, was not lobe tolerated. He determined to ! punish that intractable body. Tile Abbe j Dubois and Law suggested a simple ! mode; it was to suppress the parliament ! altogether, being as they observed, so far j from useful, that it was a constant im j pediment to the ill It rc li of public affairs. The R. gent was half inclined to listen to their advice; lint upon calmer considera tion, mid the advice of friends, lie adopt ed a more moderate course. On the 20ili of July, early in the morning, all the doors of the parliament house were ta ken possession of hy troops. —Others were sent to surround the house of first ! president, and others to the houses of the various members, who vvenM|fJ at first in great alarm, until an the kit was pul into their hands, Ufrendeflljeni ! selves at I’ontoise, in lire course davs, to which place y9rlininc.nl was limits suddenly and nrliilrimly transferred)* The despotic act, says Voltatrugfwmild 1 at any other time have caused an insur rection; but one-half I ’aririimifc won* occupied i>> tlieir the other | half hy tlieir fancied winch were ; soon to vanish. The |jn>si<lent and mem bers of parliament acquiesced in the maii date without a murmur; they even went as A on a party of pleasure, and made j to lend a joyous life in > their exile. The niusqneteers, who held possession of the vacated parliament house, a gray corps of fashionable ynun fellows, amused themselves with inakiuir songs and pasquinade?*, at the expense of j tlte exiled legislators; nnd at length, to pass away time, formed themselves into a mock parliament; elect tlieir presidents; Ivinifs, ministers, nnd advocates; took their seats in due form; arraigned a cat at the bar, in place of the Sirur Law, and af ter giving it a *‘fair trial,” condemned it !<> he banned. In this mariner, public af fairs nnd public institutions were lightly ‘rtSftncd to jet. As to the e xiled parliament, it lived, jjpiily and luxuriously at Poutoise. at tin public expense; for the Regent had fur nished funds, ns usual, wills a lavish, hand. The first president had the mnn sion of the Duke de Bouillon put at his disposal, nil ready I’urnidled, w itjh a vast and delightful garden off the bonders of a river. There he house to nil *\\£ members of pai Ijiment! Sev-ra! ta- Afi’S were spread every duji, nil t'ornished fc\uriou>ly ainl^ph.inlidlv; the most ex ijJiisite u itiTs nnd liquors, the hoieest fruits and refreshments id allkinds doun | de'dy A >uml>er>ilsinall cliari l s for one and twoamrses were always ut hand, Ibr Julies q.nd old gcnlh men as wished to tjulu* an 4ffi iiiit nftft* dinner, and card tables lor such as elioose to ffttnuse themselves in that way until sup per. r i'lie sister and the dauyfer of the presidiMit did tin honors Jpt lie house, ■J\i\ he himself presided an air *reat ease, and i drive from l*ai is of the amuse ments and f<*sti.Aiies of tlif* place. Bu -1 si ness was oironly sighted; nothino was i thought The Reent and his government wwe at, ami j made the subject of pleasau -1 tries; while tin* enormous expenses in ! cur red hy this itlle and lavish course of life niohtt than doubled the liherol sums provided. This was the way in which the parliament resented their exile. During this time tin* svstem was gtt tiffg mure and more involved. ‘1 lie stock exchange had some lime previously been removed to the Place Yendome,; hut the tumult and noise becoming intolerable to the residence o! that polite quarter, nnd especially to the chancellor, whose hotel was there, the Prince and Princess Cany nan, <leep gamblers in 1M issis f-ippi stock, offered the extensive garden of tlieir Hotel de Snissons as a rallying place for the The offer was nccept.'d. /itmnfirr iff barracks were imruediatt ■TO i.t.-d in tlm i garden, ns offices for tlie slock brokers, and no order was obtiiinrd from the Re gent, under the | reteXl of pnliec reeula | lions, that no liorgniii should be valid, ! unless concluded in these barracks. The | rent ot them immediately iinmiinted to a | hiinilred livres a month for each, ami tin ; whole yielded tlieso nohle proprietors the ignoble revenue of a half a million of j livres. The mania for gain, however, was now !at nn end. A universal panic succeeded, j “Satire quipeut” was the watch word, j Kvery one was anxious to exchange Hi iI - j ing paper for something of intrinsic and ; perrnanet value. Since money was not ] to be bad, jewels, precious stones, plate, ! percclaiii, Irin.kcls ol gold and silver, all commanded any price in paper. Land was bought at (iffy years’ purchase, and j the esteemed himself happy ulm could j get iteven at this price. Monopolies now became the rage among the noble liol- ! ! ders of paper. The Duke de la Force ’ bought up nearly all the tallow, grease and soup;—others the coffee and spices; otliers bay and oats—Foreign exchanges were almost impracticable. The debts of Dutch nn:l English merchants were paid in this fictitious money, all the coin of the realm having disappeared. All the rela tions of dsbtor and creditor was confoun ded. With ono thousand crowns, one might pry a debt of eighteen tliousulid livres! The Regent’s mother, who once exal ted in Mix affluence of bank paper, now wrote in n very different tone: “I have often wished,” said she in her letters, “that these bank notes were in the depths of the infernal regions. They have given my son more trouble than relief. Nobody m France lias a penny— * * • My son was once popular, but, since the ar rival of this cursed Law, lie is bated more and more. Not a week passes without my receiving letters filled with frightful ; threats, and speaking of him ns a tyrant. I have just received one threatening him ! with |x:isint. When I showed it lo him : lie did nothing but laugh.” In the mean time Law by. the increasing troubles, nnd terrified at tlm tempest be bad eyised. Ilf? was was until man of real courage; nnd fear ful Ibr bis personal safety, ffcifti popular to n. pit-or the despair of flmned individ uals, lie again took refuge in the palace of the regent. The usual, amu sed liirnself with Iju Terrors, and turned : every- new disasti s-iuto a jest, hut lie, too, negnu to think dt his own security. I I schemes of Law, lie bail,, no dontvt,Tyncnluted to curry tliroiigJLlijs term with ease and spteu- to enrich himself, bis connec liißv. iiirJlliis favorites; and bad hoped catastrophe of the system would not take place until after the expiration i of the regency. He now saw bis mistake; that it was . impossible much longer lo prevent an cx pl ision; and lie determined at once to get Law out of the way, and then to charge him with the whole tissue of delusions of this paper alcbyuiy. lie accordingly took Occasion ot the recall of parliament in December, I T'-10, to suggest to Law the policy ol his avoiding an encounter with that hostile nod exasperated body. Law needed no urging In the measure. LLcJinly desire was tu escape from Paris and is tempestuous populace. Two days before the return of parlia ment be took bis sodden nod secret de parture. lie travelled in a chaise bear ing tin 1 arms of the Regent, and was es j coi led by a kind of safeguard of servants, jin the duke’s livery. His first place of i refuge was an estate of the Regent’s S about six leagues from Paris, from whence he pushed forward to Rruxelles. As soon as Law was fairly nut of the Way, the Duke ot Orleans summoned n council of the regency, nnd informed them .that they were assembled to deliber ate on the state of the finances, and the affairs of the India Company. Accor dingly, La llmissaye, Comptroller Gene ral, rendered a perfectly clear statement, j by which it appeared that there were ; batik bills in circulation to the amount of two milliards seven hundred millions of lures, without any evidence that thL \ enormous sum bad been emitted in virtue of any ordinance fioni the general us ! scinhiy of the India Company, which j alone bad the right to authorize such e .nissions. ’ The council was astonished at the dis- I closure, and looked to the Regent for explanation. Pushed to the extreme, |Whc Regent avowed that Law bad emitted ,Anils to the amount of twelve hundred liiillioiis beyond what bail been fixed by Mhriiuiianees, and in contradiction to ex | press prohibitions; that the thing being ‘lone, he, the Regent, had legalized nr | rather covered the transaction, hy de crees ordering such emissions, which de crees he had antedated. A stormy scene ensured between the Regent nnd the Duke de Rourbr.n, little ! t■ the credit ol either, both having been ; deeply implicated in the cabalistic opera- I lion, ol the system. In fact the several | members of the council had been among do- most venal “beneficiaries” of the scheme, and had interests at stake which j they were anxious to secure.—From all tls- circumstances ot the ease, 1 am in j dined to think that others were more to i blame than Law for the disastrous effects of his financial projects. His hank, had it been confined to its origionol regula tions, might have.gone on prosperously, and have been of great benefit to the na ’ion. It was ai> institution fitted for u Tree comifry; lull uiilortunutelv it wnsstib ject to the control of a despotic govern ment, that could at its pleasure alter the value of the specie within its vaults,-and , compel tin- most extravagant expansions [of its paper circulation. The vital prin ! eiple of the hank is security in the regu larity rd its operations, and the immediate ; coincriihdiiy rd its paper into coin, noil i what confidence could be reposed in mi institution, or its paper promises, wlieii the sovereign could at any moment cen tuple rhose promises in tiie market, and M-ize upon all the money in the hank? I lie compulsory measures used, likewise, . In force h ink notes into uiirrencv, against dte judgment of the public, inis fatal I ‘* the system; for credit must Jk free 1 and uncontrolled as the eonim#ti air. i Tlm Regent was the evil spirit of the at stem, that forced Law onto : n cxpnn ; sion of his paper currency far beyond a bat lie had ever dreamed of. lit; it was j that in a manner compelled I projector to devise nil kinds of collateral I companies and monopolies, by which to : raise funds to meet the constantly and ’ enormously increasing emissions of sfcnres and notes. Law tvrs hut like a poor con iuror, in the hands of a potent spirit that , oe uad evoked, and that obliges him to ’ £° 0,1 desperately nnd ruinously with Ids ‘< conjurations. He only thought nt the outset to raise the wind but the Regent j compelled him to raise the whirlwind: The investigation of the nft’airs of the Company by the council, resulted lo noth ing beneficial to the public. The prinCTs and nobles who bad enricbened them selves by all kinds of juggles nnd extor tions, escaped unpunished, and retained the greater part of tlieir spoils. Many of the “suddenly rich,” who Imd risen from obscurity to a giddy height of imaginary prosperity, and bad indulged in all kinds of vulgar and ridictiltiiis excesses, awoke as out ofn dream; in tlieir original pov erty, now made more filling and humili ating by tlieir transient e!evn io.i. The weight of the evil however; fell on more valuable classes of society; honest tradesmen nqd artisans, who had been seduced a way from the safe pursuits of industry, to the specious clin uccs of specu lation. „ Thousands of meritorious fami lies, rffco, once opulent, bad been reduced to >m!igetice by too great confidence in ODvernmcnt. Tiiere was a general de rangement in the finances, that long ex erted a baneful influence over the nation al prosperity; but the most disastrous ef fects of the system were upon the mnr alsnuil manners of the nation. The faith of engagements, the sanctity of promises in the affairs of business, were at an eiWy i Eveiy expedient to grasp prcsenkjjrofif j or to evade present tolera ted. While such dephumble laxity ofi j principle was grafted in the busy classes, tlio chiv<Jrys#r France bad soiled their and honor nnd glory, so long ols of Gallic nubility, bad been turn- , , bled to the earth, and trampled neilie dirt ; of the stock market. : As to Law, the originator of the system, j he appears eventually to have profitted but HHlc by bis schemes, “He was a quack,” shy# Voltaire, “to whom t!iS state was given to Tie*cured, biff who poisoned it with bis drugs, Ttnd who poisoned liiui ! self.” The effects, be left in France, were sold ut ainll the proceeds dissipated. IliWnftthd cs- I lie ] with mnWarely enough to maintain llyjl* self, bis wife, and daughter with decency. The chief reliqae of bis immense fortune was a great diamond, which lie tyas often obliged to pawn. He was in England 1 1721, and was presented to George jht*f | First. He returned shorty after | continent; shifting about from place to place, nnd died in Venice in 1720. His wife mid daughter, accustomed to live with the prodigality of princesses, could not conform tlieir altered fortunes, but dissipated the scanty menus left to them, and sank into abject poverty. “I saw jiis wife,” says Voltaire, at Rruxelles, ns much humiliated as she had ticcn haugh ty and triumphant at I’nris.” An elder brother of Law remained in France, nnd was protected by the Duchess of lluor bon. II is nsseiulants have acquitted themselves honorably in various public employments; and one cf them is the .Marquis Lnnriston, some time Lieuten ant General nnd peer ol France. .. „ OF TIIE S oulliern T ranscript.
