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. i AsjJjj.

He admitted that bad timber hud- keen some times used, because good could not be got ten—the timber had been principally ob tained from the Canadas and the North of Europe. A destructive fire happened in Edinburgh on the 22d Feb. which consumed the land where it broke out, end four stories of the laud in front of it. It broke out in Lady Local's house, so called from having been the residence of the widow of Simon, the last Lord Lovat, who was beheaded.

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.
