They lent 26,188,909. It now a!fi> irconttfl.bly appears, that, while all America fuutifhed only 33 millions by loam, foreigners did not put a Argil’ Jfiilling in the American fund*, the reafm of which, when it if cot fidered that Amen** pays heavier interest thin any other hare, it irfliiflibly plait., and proves how much tbofe imposed upon the publick who gave out shat the Dutch and ethers had vrfted very large capi tals in the continental (locks. Thus much for credit from foreigners. There is no balance (buck in this account, but iufpeftioa will convince every min that n the day of its date there was not a single (hilling in the trcafu>y.

I believe the future money cf America does not now exist in Peru t>r tndnftaa, and, as they exprefa it, 44 this money will remain with them” when gold and silver may have wings and fly away. They fav, V the depreciation of currency has so fu elled the price of every necejfary article, and of confluence madefucb additions to the usual amount of expenditures, that very covfiderable supplies mufl be immediately provided by loans and taxes.” Is not this a on it formal confetfion that their urney is of little or no valar ; that even of this money, depreciated as it is, theie is none in thetreafuryj and that, m left cuufiderable fgppiies >re immed’ately provided by loans and taxes, inde pendency must be given up, anuniverfal binkiuptey take place, the Congress di(Live, and tlm child un born rue the day whenftj.sration from England way decreed, a.treaty with France entered into, the offers of Oreat-Britain Lqiufully rej.Aed, and evtry fne cie* of miftry eftablifted on the rums of the belt sys. tern of government and happiest connexion.
