Yft have received from the Mercantile
Advertiser, and Gazette offices, Nuw-
Vork shipping intelligence, up to two o’
clock on Sunday, the 3d instant, but discov
er nothing of the Lafbyette. or any other
arrival, in a short passage from England.
The Charleston papers of Monday morn
jng, give the following particulars of the re
cent capture of pirates, by the Sea Gull.—
The two schooners were captured about
eighteen miles to'windward of Mntunzas.
One of the schooners mounted two six
pounders. After a short action, eight of
tho pirates were killed, and nineteen taken
prisoners—the latter were put on board the
British Government schr. Lion, and sent
to Kingston, Jam. The Seu Gull waB as
sisted by the boats of the British frigate
Dartmouth, which vessel was still at an
chor a few miles to windward of Matanzas.
The Sea Gull left that port again on the
30th ult. on a cruize, and Com. Warring,
ton left ou the 20tli, in the U. S. schooner
Shark, for Key West.
There were a number of bales of goods
found on board of the piratical vessels, and
a number of hats, with the New-York stamp
in them. Thirteen men were found on thore
tied to trees, and euppoeed to have died with
hunger. The figure bead of a vessel was
also found on board of one of them—it is
now on board the Sea Gull, and is suppos
ed to hkyc belonged to the ship Belize
packet between New-Orleans and Phila-
. delphit.
From Europe.—Under our commercial
head, we have given all the commercial in
telligence by the British ship Commerce, at
Charleston, being from Liverpool of the
the 24th February, London of the 22d, and
Glasgow of the 26th.
The political intelligence is unimportant.
. The Glasgow paperofthe25th ofFebru
ary says—“ The Chancellor of the Exche
quer was expected to bring forward his fin
ancial statement last night t if the ex
pectation is fulfilled, yye shrill be enabled to
.communicate the principal of it in our next
' publication. We think there is little occa-
■fen for its being either very long or very
1 complex, aa far as the repeal of taxes is
poucerned, The disposable iocome to be
applied to this purpose is one million and
a half; to which may be added by antici
pation, to all appearance without the least
risk, an equal amount of surplus for the
current yqjr, making together a sum suffi
cient for the extinction of those unpopular
and vexatious imposts and assessed taxes,
and leaving untouched the five millions for
the sinking fund.”
Sir Francis Burdett was to present tho
Catholic petition on the 22d February.

GOOD EFFECTS OF SPECIE PAY
MENTS.
A correspondent in your paper of Satur
day, has given a comparative statement of
the Oflice of tho Bank of the United States
in this place, in 1820 and 11121: nod has at
tempted to account for the unprecedented
difficulties, under which we have sinco been
laboring, by attributing them to tho cur
tailment of its operations, and of tho dis
counts of the other Banks.
Although I have not siie.h materials us
will enable me to speak confidently, I think
it will be found, that your correspoi dent is
mistaken in supposing that the Discounts of
the State Banks differed much, or were
much less in 1824 than in 1820.
I presume too. that ho cannot have been
long a resident of this place, nnd therefore
could not have kuown, what I am sore
candour would otherwise have prompted
him to state, that this curtailment, was for
ced upon the office by the plans nnd policy
introduced about the first-mentioned peri
od, by ruined speculators, overtraders deep
ly in debt, and ignorant politicians, q^tlmse
who believed such plans popular.
Their objects extended even to driving
tho office from the state, and of course ob
liging it to withdraw its capital altogether.
With so much industry and influence were
these plans pursued, that in 1821, they
reached the Legislature, which passed a
law to prevent the office from collecting
payment for the Notes of the other Bunke,
and from receiving interest upon what they
might owe, and refuse to pay.
Those who directed the affairs of tho of
fice at that time, were, ho'wever, aware
of the sources of these measures; and that
they were as much at variance with the
true interest of the community, as they
were with correct priuciplos; and they,
therefore, ateadily and temperately, though
perhaps too silently, opposed them.
Their folly, their unconstitutionality, and
their injurious operation, seem to have
been simul.aneously ascertained, and are
now very generally, acknowledged—The
State Legislature, at its last session, re
pealed the obnoxious Law, and (except the
Bank of Darren,) the State Banka pay ihoir
notes on demand in specie.
Since the commencement of thi^nport<
A few days ago, 1 sow a statement of the
affaire of the Darien Bank, also somo re
marks accompanying the tame.
* Permit me Messrs. Editors, to offer a few
hints to tho public, througl your useful pa
per. upon a subject which, pt this time, ap
pears to occcupy the mirds of many—I
mean the sound currency (f our State.—
And in doing this, it is not jiy intention to
give offence to any. It behoves the Bank of
Darinti in its future operations to move wit h
much circumspection. It is bound to do
so, because the interest of the Stockholders
in that Institution, is as much to be guard-
o !, as the convenience of the community is
to bn respected. It has been urged that
is absolutely necessary at this time that the
Bank of Darien should pay specie promptly
lor its bills. This I say is proper, provid
ed the capacity of the Bank would ad
mit it. It is also contended that as the
Bank of Darien bus four hundred thousand
dollars in specio, therefore, it is bound at
this time to sparsone half of it for the re
demption of its paper. These statements,
made on paper, do very well, but we
may take into consideration circum
stances which would render it bad poli
cy, at this time, for the Bank to strip itsell
of every specie dollar it has in its vaults.—
ill the first pluco, agreeably to the slate-
liient exhibited by tlie Darien Bank to the
Legislature last year, the Bunk has is
sued near two millions including what has
heel) issued by the Branches at Marion.
Macon and Milledgeville. Admitting then,
that the Bank takes up at this time two
hundred thousand dollars of its paper, it
has then two hundred thousand dollais in
specie, to redeem from fifteen to seventeen
hundred thousand dollars. It is acknow
lodged by every man who is acquainted
with the Banking system, that the Bunk of
Darien has departed from every principle
that possibly can govern the safety of
Banks, by an over issue. But in doing tiiis,
there-are reasons in my opinion, which are
calculated to extenuate the offence, if it bo
one, on tho part of the direction of the Da
rien Bank. It has been said, the Darien
Bank is shielded, or protected from specie
payments by its charter. If so, ss I have
already Fnid, is is contrary to the proper
system of Banking; and from that circum
stance, it iS presumable that.the Directors
have issued more puper than they would
otherwise have dono. The great pressure
made upon our merchants and others, some
few yoarB ago, by all the Banks in Savan
nah, compelled many to flee to the Bank of
Darien for assistance. The Bunk lent ull
its aid to the local Banks to sustain thorn
nnd their customers, particularly when they
wore pressed by the Branch Bank of tho
United States. This fact cannot be denied.
It is also certain that the Plunters’ Bank
and the Bank of the State of Georgia, have
been operating for the last two or three
years, altogether upon the notes of the Da
rien Bank, and by their doing this, they have
been enabled to draw in the greater part of
their own notes. If the three Banks in Sa
vannah would make a pledge to issun their
own paper in the same proportion that the
Bank of Darien would in the ordinary
course of business, it is then that the Bank
of Darien could sustain itself in specie pay
ments, because it is presumable that the
Darien Ba< k and its Branches would have
an opportunity of getting a reasonable por
tion of the bills of specie paying Banks.—
But without some such arrangement, it will
be impossible for the Darien Bank to pay
specie promptly for their bills, at this time.
The Bank of Darien ill order to sustain its
solvency and save its customers, (those
who are indebted to thorn,) are compelled
to make very moderate colls, more particu
larly, inasmuch, as the wholo of the eastern
section of Georgia hae been in a state
Bankruptcy for the last two or three years.
Should the Bank of Darien pledge itself to
pay specie promptly for their bills, they will
be compelled to bo prepared to supply all
calls made for specie ill the lower counties,
because without Borne arrangement made
with Banks in Savannah,’ their notes, and
j North Carolina Bills, will be the only
money we shall huve in.circulation.

of the Northern markets, next to the Geor

Jlhtanzae, March 28.—The exeea»ive
rains we experienced from about the first
of January, until within a few days past,
added to a heavy linfl storm experienced in
the country, ou the night of the 2d iusinnt,
will cause a reduction of one-fourth of our
sugar crops. The quantity of sugars just
now in market, is not sufficient to cover
the present orders. This circumstance,
added to the known wants of the North of
Europe, induces holders to expect a further
advance iu tho article. We now quote
box sugars from 7}, 11} at $9 13, and Mus-
covndoes 7 a 9.

ing, Our present prices are 20 per cent,
less thun in Havana. VYe quote this arti
