There is one error in relation to this subject which it may be tknrlh explaining. It is sup.iused by some, that, because the goverinent ot the United States have not been enabled to concert their six |>er cent stocks into fives, that u five percent stoy-k is deemed undesirable abroad; but the government has never offered a snick like that which the Bank hold, in exchange t,n the nixes.

The Bank, bv a resolution of the 28di day ol Nov. tuifi, agreed to remit to the holders ul the capital slock of the bank, residing in Europe, the dividends which should be declared thereon, tree of ex pense. Tina was deemed a very disad vantageous and buitliensoine engagement an the part of the bank. Advice uf emi nent counsel has been taken, to know whether the bank was hound to continue these rermttanees, and it has been advis ed that it was not hound longer than it sliouhl desire so lotto from its own views of expediently or. advantage. It was de termined thereto, e to discontinue this a- geocy except as to those who had made regular requisitions or who should do so bv n given tiny. Aa to these it wus tneught bett-r that the bank should make thu s.t ci fice which these remillances reqoir ed, than incur the suspicion of,having misled the holders ot stork who had made the requisition perhaps under the im piessiun that 'lie regulation was not dts advantageous to the bank, and that il would be permanent ; as to all others, there was nn preteore of claim. Toere ia one case ot 3541) shares which in under consideration, which the btuk hashcrcto- lure determined not lo be entitled to thi consideration of it. if this be embraced, the tmmbt'r of shares on which the bank hns determined tn cuntiuue remittances will be 15 331). H they be excluded, the number will be 11,790. I. The Discounted Paper. The cur-1 privilege, but the parties have urged a re rent paper of this Bank aud its offices is probably as good, oi better, than tlie cur ri-hf paper of orher Batiks, In the places respvctively where it-is due. There is, however, unfortunately a heavy massul suspended paper on which interest is con titiually accruing, a great cf which will, nod.iuut, in lime be i covered, but which adds little or nothing at the present time, to the luud frmn which the Bulk ia to 4 divide. There ia one portiuii ol this which independent of the losses already sustain ed by it, and which are included in the estimates, I consider as very good and pro ductive. I mean the forfeited slock con sisting of 87.854 shares which may be considered as a reduction of a capital quite too large, to the extent ofthJir par value. II. The Funded Debt held by the Bank. This raw consists, with the exception of a very inconsiderable sum, ol seven mil lions of fi,e per cent, stock subscribed by the Government ; of two millions of six percent, stock purchased in 1820, re- deemible it the pleasure of the Govern ment ; of four millions five per cent, stock J mrehased in 1821, and redeemable on the list of December 1835, Tlie two mil Hons nf six per cent, stock, ol the Loan uf 1830, will, in all likelihood, be speedily redeemed. The lour millions of five per ceuu- arc longer irredeemable than tuy SOUTH AMERICA. Several extracts of letters have been published in Ihe northern papers and copied into the southern, aaitl tn be Irani sources entitled 'o credit, which may con vey the impression that the Colombian forces at Maracaibo are unprepared to re sist any sudden assault ; and that the place must surrender if attacked, aa me ditated by Gen, Morales. Almost every letter yet published which conveys this idea, was written at Curragoa where all the reports prejudicial to the interest of Colombia are propagated, as well through the medium of the press, as that of private communication ; and it is seldom we record an eve.it upon such au thority, but that the next arrival proves it to have been a fabrication.
