THE HUsiAR^TRADDLE.
Old Ludovtc Han* always regarded his
Middle with the deepest veneration; ami yet
there appeared nothing about it capable of ex
citing hie idolatry, ll was* Turkish saddle,
old, *nd deeply stained with blood; but to (lie
brave Ladovio it recalled a tale of oilier days,
when ardent, young and enthusiastic, lie first
drew his aword in defence of hia country,
against his enemies.
Ha had been opposed in battle against the
invaders o( his native Hun,‘ary, ami many an
unbelieving dog had hia good rword smitten to
the earth. Various had been tlic fortunes of
the war, and too otlcn was the glory of the ho
ly-croa* dimmed by the luatre of the trium
phant crescent Such sad disasters were sel
dom alluded lo by the brave Hussar, but he
loved to dwell on the successful actions in
which ho had been engaged.
It was in one of these combats (hat sudden,
ly cut off from hi* party, he found himself sur
rounded by four infuriated Turk*.
But tha recollection of you and your angel,
mother, would Ludovic say to Ins* daughter,
nerved my arms. I was assailed by nil my
opponents. How three fell, I know not; but
severe and long was the conflict with the Inst
of my foes, whose powcrlul arm was raised
against me. Already I saw my wdu a trourn
lul widow, and my child fullieriesv, and those
dreadful thought* infused fresh vigor into my
arm; I smote the infidel dog to death, hurled
him from Ins steed, A rifled him os belay. At
(Lia moment several of the enemy appeared in
aighl but 1 was lo much exhaiiMc.l to renew
tha perilous confl c • My gallant horse lay
wounded and in the agonies of death; I threw
myself on the Turkish courser, forced him on l
at hi* utmost speed until I regained my squad
ron. The saddle was steeped in the blond of
my foe, and mine mingled witli it. When |
a cessation of hostilities permitted the troops I
to rest for a space from the horror* of war, I
hastened with the treasure, which during the
campaign I had acquired, to my home, and
purchased these fertile fields around my dwel
ling and fbrgot for a season the miseries of
war.
The good Ludovic could hern pause. He
still retained a lively recollection of hia lost
wife, and he could not bear lo narrate the
circumstance* of her illness and death. Af
ter this sad event his home became hateful
to him, and lie resolved again (u engage in
the arduous dm ea of a soldier. Hia little
Theresa waa kindly adopted into the family
ot bis only brother, and there, after a lapse of
some years, our good llnaaar found her bloo
ming in youthful beauty.
Ludovic arrived only in time to close the
eyes ot Ins brother, who, on hia death bed en
treated him to bestow Theresa on hia only
■on, when they should have had attained a
proper age. Grateful for his almost parental
care of In* child, and moved by the situation
of Ins brother, whose whole heart oeemed to
be bent on this union, Ludovic promised that
when his daughter should have obtained the
age of 18, sbo should become the wife of
Karl, provided Karl himself desired ‘.he con
nection at that lime, and aatisfied with this
promise the old man died in peace.
Thia engagement was concealed from
Theresa,hut it was knewn to Karl, who exal
ted in the thought that thia rich prize would
one day be hie. With low habits and a
course turn of mind, the delicate grace of
Theresa had no charms for him, he loved her
not, but beloved the wealth that would one
day be bers, and which ha looked on with a
greedy eye. The thousand soft and nameless
feelings which accompany a tender and gen
vrous passion, were unknown to Karle. It
waa a hard task to him to attend his gentle
wwtreaa; nor did he ever appear disposed to
play the lover, except when some other seem
ed disposed to supply his place. It waa at a
real fete given by Ludovic to his neighbors at
the termination of an abundant harvest that
Karl first chose openly to assert hie rigid. He
had taken it fur granted that he should open
the dance with Theresa. What then, waa
hi* indignation when on entering the apart
ment, her slender waist was encircled by the
arms of a young hussar, moving in tho grace
ful walls I—The evident superiority of his riv
al, whose well knit limbs, firm step and mar
rial air, formed a striking contrast to hia own
clownish figure and awkward gait, only in
creased hi* ire, and in violent wrath he ad
vanced to Theresa, insisting on hia right to
open the dance with her. Theresa pleaded
her engagement : he persisted : she refusid
hie request, and laughed at his anger.—Ho
became violent and rude. The hussar inter
fered, and the quarrel rose ao high as to draw
Ludovic lo the spot.
Karl in a voice almost choaked with pas
sion, laid hia grievances before him.—Theresa
in a tone of mdigination complained to her fa
ther ot hia insolence, and appealed to Inn
whether she was not at liberty to select any
partner for the dance that she thought proper.
"You have no such liberty!" thundered forth
Kiri. “Y hi are my botrotbed wife and as
such you belong to me alone."
Theresa cut uo him a smile full of scorn
and contempt ,bui it faded a* ahe luked to her
father and a deadly paleness overspread her
countenance as she inquired, “Father does
tltis man speak the truth?"
“He does my child," wu the reply; and she
dropped insensible at bis feat.
Theyaong busier now knelt down beside
her. paamsaately kissed her lair forehead and
raised bet in Uis arms, bore tier to an adjoin
ing room, followed by the farther and Karl.
Theresa slowly revived. At first she saw no
OMtOfldhMOtMinga faint sigh murmured,
•it map all a toirt'd dream!" An anguished
groan started her into perception and agony,
ithc ioniced up and saw her farther standing
before her with folded arms and a counlen
-once clouded .with grief. Kari also stood
near with an exulting smile: and lbs hussar
knelt boside tier but bn face was buried in bis
i J;*od«. She then found that it was ao dream
looked at Wf*tli*r,
“Farther i*ihm» o* hope!"
"Xonr, my h.mor is pledged."
Mhe then turned to the husrar and placed
her co!d hand in hia; then rising suddenly,
threw herself at the feet of Karl. “O Karl;
have mercy! I luxe another—you do not love
me — ave pity on us!”
“By ihe powers of Heaven and Hell vou
shall tie mine, Theresa!”
"I appeal to my farther."
“Will your farther violate hi* promise lo the
d>-*(li •
“No,I will not,"said Ludovic with solemni
ty-
“ Then, Theresa,” exclaimed Karl, with
fiendlike exultation, “no power on E* lli shall
anvc you Irom being mind" and tnne saying
lelt the house.
Theri-aa rose from her knee*, and threw
lieraelt into the arm* ot her lover. The (ire
sauce of her father was no restraint on her
pure lendernere. Toe tear* fell on his man*
ly countenance lint his concluding words,
‘•that lie must hold it sacred," threw them in
to a new paroxism of grief.
“We must part then, ArohoM," said the
weeping Theresa; "»e must pirl—oh cau we
survive tins crtlei blow.
“No," said Arnh<'ld, • no I cannot be with
out you; lei us once more e itreal your father
lo have p ty on us," and the youthful lovers
threw themselves at In* feet.
“Arnhold !" aaid Ludovic, a’crnly, “thou
a sold.er, and ask me to tarnish my honor!"
Arnhold fell the appeal, he started up, raised
the weeping Theresa, cut off with Ins sabre
one long bright luck embraced, and kissed her
plor-cd her in the anna of her father and (led.
Every pass ng day csrr cd with it aorne por
tion of the fortitude of Theresa, a* she saw
the near approach of tho period which was to
conatgn her to a state ao dreadful. Three
little weeks were all that lay between her
and misery. Ludovic endeavoured lo soothe
her, hut she would not bo comforted. Had
i ever her aIT.-dions (seen disengaged, Karl
t would have been d sinstoful to her; but with
. her affections placed upon another, the idea
, of this union sppeared insupportable.
• “My child!" would Loudovic *»y, in>r
, rupting a passionate burst of grief, "by what
[ magic ha* Arnhold gained possession of your
heart!"
"lie is an hussar,” replied Theresa.
, There waa something in this reply which
moved Ludovic ; he recollected that he him
self had imbued the mind of the daughter with
thu sentiments of respect mid esteem for the
character of a good soldi' », and conscience
reminded him that he had two often exulted
the prufeosom of anna above- the peaceful and
unobtrusive occupations of the husbandman.
Was it wonderful ll.cn. that Theresa should
have imbibed any of this spirit I or that she
should have yielded her heart lo one who pos
sessed courage to defend her, and tenderness
lo soothe her, under the affliction* of life ?
Arnhold dwell near them; ho had been the
playmate ofTlieroaa, and with glowing cheek*
and sparkling eyes, they often listen together
to the warlike exploits whicn thu good Lu
dovic delighted lo relate lothom ; and to these
conversations might be attributed the passion,
ate desire of Arnhold to adopt the profession
of arm*. Accustomed to sue them play to
gether ' 9 children, and 1 king the society of
the generous mid spirited boy, Ludovic lorgol
the danger, when their childhood passed *•
way, of ilieir afflictions assuming a totally dif
ferent character. It was so, and Ludovic (
now saw with deep grief that Ins daughter
was unalterably attached lu the young sol
dier.
If Theresa was unhappy, her father Was ]
scarcely less so; he blamed his own impru
dence and on contras' log the character oftbo 1
1 two you'll*, a violent conflict between Ins *
feeling and Ida duly arose in Ins breast; the <
stern honor of a soldier, triumphed, and he i
deemed hnnaelf bound to complete the sacri
ficc.
Unable, however, to endure the sight of her '
grief; he carried her to the abode ol a youth- 1
lul; female friend, wh. if rnrrly resided near i
them, but on her marriage had removed to a i
village about sixty mile* distant. There he ,
left Theresa, after receiving her solemn pro
miso that she would return with him the day 1
before that on which alto would complete her 1
eighteenth year.
“rather," raid ahe, with a stammering i
' voice, 1 have never deceived you. It i live
1 will return; but do not grieve to deeply
should my heart break in this tearful strug
gle.”
The old hussar dashed awsy a tear which
strayed down hia sunburnt cheek, embraced
bis child and departed.
Time worn gradually away, and at Inal tho
day arrived winch was lo ai-al Theresa's fate
It found her in a state of torpid despair.—
Exhausted hy her previous struggles, all feel
ing* arenied dead; bu> her mind was awakened
■ to new Bufferings.—A friend strived lo con
duct her lo her father. The good Ludovic lay,
apparently on tho bed ofdeathand with breath
less impatience Theresa pu sued her journey.
On her arrival, her father’s sick room was
net aoltlary. The detested Karl wi* there
and there too was tho youthful hussar.
“My child," aaid Ludovic, *my days are
numbered, my fate must soon bo decided' and
alas! your* also! To my dying brother 1
solemnly promised that on this day I would
offer you to his aon for his bride. Without
fulfilling my engagement 1 could not die in
peace; even the grave could offer no rest.—
Can you sacrifice yourself for my future re
po#e?’
"1 can, I wtll, cried the unfortunate The
resa, sinking on her knees, ao help heaven!”
‘Heaven will bless a beautiful child,’ said
Ludovic, with favor—Karl, draw near. Karl
obeyed.—Theresa shuddered,
i *Karl,' said Ludovic, ‘you say you love
mv child, cherish her I conjure you, as you
i hope, for future happiness. In ner you will
possess a treasure but I warn you, she will
i bring you but part of my possessions." Karl
started and retreated a lew steps. That how
, aver continued Ludovic, ‘which I looked up
on a* my greatest earthly treasure, 1 give vou
i with my daughter. You Karl, believe me'lo
. have some virtue*. Alas? slasl you know not
the secret sins which have sullied my life—

I will reclaim (•"'m from :h* rapacious monks

Von cannot, you dure not, replied Ludovic
raising hia von* in anger ; my agreement
with your father had reference lo my daugh

Driveller ! dotard ! vociferated Karl—think

swear to cherish and protect her while I live.

Karl laughed in mockery. Yon value life

. Mr. Editor—A writer in the Southern Banner,
signing himself “Clark," after pretending to cor
| reel the account given of the meeting recently
held at Athena, in reference to the con emplalcd
, southern importing scheme, loudly declaims a
gainst it on the score of its telfithneta, and then
1 addresses himself lo the editors of Union presses
who have written in its favor.
We regret that any southern press should be
the vehicle of circulating an article so directly op
-1 posed to the beat interests of the south. And we
must unequivocally deprecate the course which
baa keen pursued by thia writer, in attempting to
make thia a party question.
What, air haa it coma lo this, that no measure
of public utility to our whole Stale can be pro
posed, without meeting with opposition from par
tisans upon parly grounds! Who the writer is
we know not —we care not. Our object in noti
cing tbe- article ia only to warn our fellow citi
tens against permitting themselves to lie led astray
by auch factious newspaper contributors.
TUe scheme proposed is one in which every
southern citizen is deeply interested. It promi
ses advantages to no favored class, but to all of us.
’Phe poorest mechanic in the country ought to feel
a deep interest in its success.
Wc should lie glad to know if the poor man,
who has to buy clothes for his family, and has but
little money with which to buy, would not find
it as much to his advantage to buy at the price he
would now pay in New York, as the rich man,
who has perhaps more to buy, but more abundant
means also! Tbe South possesses resources am
ply sufficient for tho projected cnterpiize. How
faligueing and expensive is it to our southern
merchants, at present, lo have to vi.nt New York,
once or twice a year, to lay in their supplies of
goods. And then we who buy in tbe south,must
pay a still higher price to cover the ezpenese of
•hipping from New York here. Sir, if there bo
any enterprize of a high and noble character, in
which wo can engage aide by aide, without re
spect of partT.it is the one wo are considering.
Wo repeat what we have said before; it is nu
party measure—it has no bearing upon party po
litics—and we sincerely tiual, that without re
spect lo party,our people will unite in the scheme.
It will increase our population—it will increase
our resources—it will enrich our people individu
ally—Sir, what will it not do!
We hope when it cornea lo making the effort,
we shall all have an opportunity of contributing
to its success—the poor as well as the rich—the
man who can subscribe but a hundred dollars, as
well as he who can aubacrilie a million.

THE GRAVE OF MELLON.
On the south ahore of Lake Monroe, in Flori
da, on the very ground where the bailie of the
Bth of February was fought against me Semi
notes, may be seen a little rectangular colonade of
palmetto pickets, enclosing the hollowed spot
were are deposited the mortal remains of Captain
Mellon. Over hia grave is placed a broad tablet,
of that rare and peculiur stone which is to lie
found only in certain localities in Florida, and on
it is chiselled the name and rank of the departed,
with a notice of the manner and occasion of his
death.
Though remote from the haunts of civilized
man, that grave atill beats (he token of human
skill and affection. Though the ground lie not
legitimately consecrated by religious ordinance,as
the prescribed sanctuary of the dead, yet it i» con
secrated in heroic alary as the field of martial
triumph. Could a gallant aoldier desire a better
testing place!
Mellon received ■ rifle shot in his breast very
early in the action.sna before the shout was hesrd
which proclaimed victory along our lines, he had
breathed his last Although attacked by six hun
dred ferocious savages, bent on an indiscriminate
massacre, and persevering for three full hours in

LATE FROM ENGLAND. I:
Tbe Boston papers contain new# received Vs fi

two days later than that received bete by the
Sheffield!
The packet ship George Washington had jnst t
arrived,—Her passengers had previously land- i

The effect of the news by her in London, on i
. the evening of the 7tb July, will be seen below. <
Los do v, Friday evening, July 7.—By some i
parlies the accounts received from the Uni cd
1 States to-day are looked upon as rather more fa
vorable; on the other hand,there are many who arc (
r most anxiously awsting advices of a more decisive ,
characler. Money for commercial purposes con
tinues much in tltc same state: on the Slock Ex- i
’ change i'. is rather easier, in anticipation that the
' payment of the dividends will render it more plcn
■ li ul. The Consol market has shown more of an
upward tendency today. They are now quoted
for money at 90 5-8 a3 8 div. oft; and for the
I opening at 98 1-4 a 38. The heavier British
, securities arc also firmer.
r Tho funeral of William IV. was celebrated on
’ the Bth. The principal places of business in Liv
-1 erpool were closed.
• It was rumored that the Queen would be ad

’ Mias Pit, Misa Murray, Miss Rice, and Miss
Pon-tonby, have been appointed Maids of Honor

The London and Birmingham Railways was
lo be opened to the public for a distance of more

mingham, and thence to London hy post caach.
1 He returned by stagecoach to Birmingham, and
J thence hy railway lo Liverpool on Saturday cvcn

r, in thirty-two and three-quarter hours. The mail
a from London arrives at Liverpool in little more
than fifteen hours.
The proceedings of Parliament were without

' Liverpool, July B—Cotton—Our market has
, presented a heavy appearance throughout the
. weeks, though the aggregate sales show a fair
extent of business. In the early part of the week
the demand was limited, and the daily sales
rather below an avetage; yesterday and to-day
however, we have had more demand, which be
, ing freely met, has augmented the week’s busi
ness, without, however, creating an improved
fueling in the market. In prices we make no
1 general alteration, though the tendency is rather
I against the holders. Sea Islands are neglected
and rather low. Brazils in far request, and
fully support former prices. Egyptian, though
’ more in demand, has given way in price, and
1 may be quoted Jd lower. Surats in fair rc
-1 quest, but heavy of sale. 3000 American taken
, on speculation, and 8000 fur export.
Sales 30 bags Sea Island 16 a 35d; 8016 Up
’ land 4 } a 6j}; 4870 Mobile, Ac. 4} a 7j; 8680
1 New Orleans 4 a 8d; remainder foreign. The
■ sales to-day are 3000 bags, at steady prices, and
r would probably have been more, had not business
, been partially suspended by the interment of the
late king.

LATER FROM FRANCE.
1 Tho packet ship Burgundy,at New York Horn
f Havre, brings Paris papers to the 6th July inclu
| : * «•.
! It is mentioned that the celebrated Charles Du
pin was quite ill—so much so as to give great un
easiness to his family and friends. The Duke of
Orleans was also ill.
, The Paris papers were busy in discussing the
. question whether Marshal Clausel had accepted t
the command o( the, Spanish forces in the Penin
sula. Tho prevalent opinion was, that he had.— '
• He had an audience with the King on the 6th; I
j a circumstance, says a Paris correspondent,which i
is calculated to awaken public attention. Tho t
Marshal, says the same writer, still feels it a duly
to maintain silence relative to tho negoiiations of ]
, which the papers speak. His house is the con !
, slant resort of military men. i
! M. Lemaniisicr, one of the wealthiest mer
chants of Caen, committed suicide on the I stof I
1 July. i
The manufacturing towns experience yet no I
, relief. Most ol tbe workmen are idle, and the i
warehouses are encumbered with goods for which i
■ there is no demand. <
f The dissolution of the Ficnch Chambers it
was believed would take place August 10. i
The Constantine Expedition it is said will ac- |
t tually bo undertaken. The Duke of Orleans is to I
. command in person,and has already sent to Bona i
some of his artillery staff. i
Advices from Naples to the 84th June state <
■ that since the 3d there had i ecu no less than 1800 '
new cases of cholera. Among the victims was t
Josiah Rogers, Esq., principal of (he respectable I
house of Rogers A Brothers at Marseilles. i
The treaty with Alr-del-Kader was ratified I
' June 14th. Little faith is placed in the Emir, |
The French Exploring Expedition, consisting 1
of the Astrolabe and Zelie, under M. Dumont (
i d’Urville, was to sail August 15th. We are I
afraid they’ll get lo the South Pole before our J
. own. Such was the anxiety to go in the French t
f expedition, that a son of a colonel of the army en- r
I listed as a common sailor. r
Paris, July 6, 1836. {
i His Excellency, Lord Granville, had a private t
audience on Monday with the King at which he de- p
livered to his Majesty letters from Queen Viclo- I
ria, announcing the death of the late King Wil- r
liamlV., and the accession ol her Majesty. His I
■ Excellency also delivered letters accrediting his a
! Lordship as her Majes y’s Ambassador Extraor

ceding day. The theatre was illuminated in the p
evening in celebration of the event. u
Extract of a letter of the S3J ult. from Dresden: »
• —"lt is staled in our salons that a considerable ri
1 number of the French legilimatists are dissatisfied c
with the projected union between the Duke de b
Bordeaux and a Russian Princess, and even at c
the invitation which the Bourbons of the older p
branch have received to be present at the manos- c
vres of tho Russian cavalry. Several of them v
say that “to form an alliance with Russia is to ti
lose all chance of one day returning to the throne I
of France.” ft
The judgement rendered by the Court of Gas- it
sation in March last, decided that a marriage h
i abroad between a French subject and a foreigner p
ia void unless the usual publication has been ci
made in France, and the parent* of the French
party duly applied to, is now considered as fixed d
law, and was acted upon in a case brought be- tt
fore the tribunal yesterday. tr
Paris, July 7, 1837. t
The acounts from the French manufacturing h
towns still speak of great embarrassment; the S
number of workmen in the different manufactories it
is daily reduced; the warehouses remain encam rc
bered with produce, without any demand. The U
fairs of tbe South have been braked to for the
sale of goods from Rouen, Mulhouse, Lyons, si
Nines, Ac.; but the competition in these articles pi
have caused a considerable decline in the price, ol
and thus increased the embarrassment of bouses c«
which had calculated on considerable returns, lo
From Lyons, however, the accounts are lather Jt
favorable. Business has become much more of
brisk than h has been fur a long time, and pur- dc
chasers have bean so great as to create a rise of Bi
from 10 sous to 1 frsne in almost every article of to
silk. The stale of tflair* in America has for
seme days eeas*d to be talked of; attention being sil
, »
uitirely turned Id the rue on Cotton in * Tory
:ounlry where it u grown. At Bt. Etennine,
lUO, the" ribbon trade baa become much more ani
mated. Orders on Germany, and more particu
larly from England, on account of the mourning
for the late king to the amount of upwards of 3,-
000.000 francs have been received.
Havre, July 7.
Cottons— The transactions in cotton have con
tinued on an extensive scale during the two day*
which followed the period embraced by out last
report, namely on the 30. h ult. and Ist instant;
but since then business has been limited. There |
is m> change in oor rates for this article, with the
exception of Pernambuco, which has experienced I
an advance of 4 to 5 centimes per 1-2 kil.
Hatrc, July 7, 1837.
.Markets. —The cotton market has been dull
since the beginning of this week, which is not
surprising, after the large transactions of the pre
vious week. —Holders are firm, and will continne
so. Your shipments amount to 80,000 bales.
TEXAS.—The N. O. Bulletin of the I6lh
inst. contains an interesting letter dated Velasco,
Aug. 5, in which a very flattering picture is gi
ven of the prosperity of the Tcxian Republic.
Houston, the President, it is stated, has returned,
in fine heath and spirits, from his journey, in
which ho succeeded in effecting a treaty with
the Indians.
The writer says :—“ I think in the absence of
something definite from Mexico, the next con
gress will order a call for the army on lurlough
and invade Mexico. Ten thousand men can be
raised for that purpose in thirty days here in Tex
as, and I suppose, half that number in the Slates.
The hostile Indians have retreated before our
men, who are prosecuting the war with vigor,
into their remotest villages, where they will have
to give in or fight.
Houston intends issuing his proclamation
against duelling shortly. The corn crop is Ire
nicndous and cotton very fine. Ail other crops
accordingly.
The latter piece of intelligence must be highly
gratifying to those who have lately observed, the
tendency of the must respectable individuals in
society to run into the extreme of duelling and
personal violence. A few such examples of the
determination of high public functionaries to dis
countenance this prepostetuus and brutal fashion
would have a salutary effect upon public opinion.

MONEY MARKET—CITY NEWS.
Wednesday,?. M.—We never knew greater
complaints by the merchants fur wantofdiscounts,
than there are at the picscnt time, particularly
aga nal the Bank of America, the Union and State
Banks. Some of the other banks, particularly the
Merchants’, New York and Mechanics’ Banks,
have the reputation of affording quite as much
aid to their customers as their means will allow.-
Tho fact is, that so long as the present shameful
arrangement is coutinued, of paying six percent,
on all balances, the merchants must expect to he
ruined. Those hanks that arc debtor banks, that
is, owe the other balances, pay the same interest
they receive, they of course will not discount,
while those banks that arc creditor banks; that is
have balances due from the other banks, on which
they receive six percent., have no inducement to
change their securßy from banks to tnd.viduals.so
that the merchant is completely between two fires.
The Banks, whatever their discounts may be,
have no interest to discount, and as they are gen
erally governed by interest, the merchant receiv
es no favor.
But little doing in Exchange yesterday. On
London it rated from 118 to 120. The export of
Specie by the Liverpool and Havre Packets not
near as much as by the last Packets.
Now that stoppages of payment have ceased,
the English merehats and Bankers arc looking
about to decide upon what has been the cause of
the existing sad state of things. When that cause
is pretty well understood, wo can form an opin
ion of the time when wo shall escape from its op
eration—a fact very important to know.
It strikes many with surprise that “the Exper
iment,” as it is called in this country could have
produced such commercial disasters throughout
the world. We believe, however, it is now a
well ascertained fact in political economy, that
when any one nation disturbs the specie basis
of the world, it disturbs the WHOLE world.
That specie basis “the Experiment” did greatly
disturb, and things, therefore, cannot be quiet till
the equipoise is restored. Our Government low.
ered the standard of gold 6,68 per cent, in rela
tion to the standard of silver, and thereby made it
profitable for our merchants to bring gold from
Europe and sc lit in the American cities in ex
change for silver, at the regulated standard, or for
banker’s notes. This withdrawing of gold from
Europe, chiefly—it may be said in effect altogeth
cr—from England, which is the great centre and
reservoir of gold, and where alone it is made the
exclusive standard ot value, was the immediate
proximate, obvious cause of derangement. Ad
ded to this, were the groat efforts made to bring
gold here, for the purpose of giving the many
Banks we were creating some specie basis, —the
numberless incorporations of these hanks—the
French Indemnities paid in gold—and primarily
among all the Specie Circular.
Alarmed at the drain of gold from their vaults,
the Directors of the Bank of England first endea
vored to obstruct ihe transactions of the Loan
mongers and Stock Exchange operators, that
they might be restrained from bringing Dutch,
Portuguese, Spanish and other bonds into the
British money market for tale in exchange for gold
to be sent to different parts of Europe. They al
so attempted to damage the credit and restrict the
circulation of Joint-Stock Banks. And then they
proceeded to break down the mercantile positions
of the great American merchants by discrediting
and rejecting their hills. All these devices were
resorted to for the purpose of throwing down pri
ces, that it might he no longer profitable to bring
bonds or commodities to English ports to ex
change for gold and silver; and aso for the pur
pose of destroying the means, which was their
credit, by which ihe merchant bankers connected
with the United Stales transmitted to that coun
try the money capital of England. The Bank
Directors also intended together with these more
immediate and pressing objects, to make such an
Impression on the foreign exchanges as should
have the effect ot stopping the exports of the
precious metals to all parts of the world, and of
causing them to flow back into England.
This struggle, which began last summer, we
ienounccd in the columns of the Express last an
lumn, as one calculated to lead, as it has, to t c
most frightful lesults to both England and the
United Stales. The Bank of England alledged
towever, as an excuse, that such measures as the
Specie Circular was a resort to force to darange
•he specie basts of the world, and that it must be
•csisted by all nations that would not credit the
United States with their own precious metals
The Directors of the Bank of England after a
druggie which lasted nine or ten months, nccom
ihshcd all their purposes. They reduced prices
»f raw material* of manufacture 40 to 60 per
»nt,on an average; they knocked down our cot
on one half they restricted the circulation of '
mint Stock Banks; they barred the introduction
* new b ° n ?* from continent of Europe; they
leitroyed the credit of the American merchant
Jankers, raised the Exchanges, and caused gold
[> flow back to England. 6
In order to effect this flowing back of eold and
ilverlbe Bank of England in\ great measure 1
destroyed the means of foreign commerce
some countries, juat as much aa long continual
drought suspends vegetation, or drawing off water m
slops internal navigation. The credit of the ■
American merchants was the meant rs p u ,
chasing goods from English manufacturers, 0 ( v.**
chartering ships, and purchasing commoditiet jJj
in distant countrier, and the credit of the same
or of other merchants which have been also *’
neatly annihilated, kept up the commerce be. 1
twren England and China, between the United
1 States and Asia, Africa, South America, and '.il
i lie West Indies. The evil has operated with on
j exnmplcd force upon the whole people of Bin .
i mingham, Sheffield, Manchester, Liverpool, ti»J
! Glasgow, and the cirrnmjncent districts upon thl
j manufacturers of Nottingham, and the Poller in .
1 and upon some departments of the wollcn and
worsted trades. These have all been deeply
j affected hy the suspension or paralysis in the
• two great channels of commerce carried on direct
or indirectly, between England and the United
, Slates and between England and China. England
however, has been saved by its traffic with the con
’ tinent of Europe, with Africa, with her immense
colonies in all parts of the gloh.t and with South
America which has not been affected in any dc
j gree approximating to the same point of evil; nor
j with the exception of wool from New KoiLci,
have the products brought from these countries
fto pay for manufacturers of them fallen in price |
. in the same ruinous proportion as the imports from j
j the United States and China.
e These views partly out own and partly taken
. from the Bankers’ Circular, are not new in this j
lt | country, but are important to he borne in mind. ,
r What we now copy from this circular is also
highly important; for it holds forth not only a pro- j
g raise of, hut a reason for a better statc’of ‘ |
“The Bank of Enland,” says the v.t.-.H)|,
, “being now placed in circumstances of com. j
I. pantiro safety, with regard to the exerdre ,1
s of her important function of regulating the ’i.
currency, it is not likely that the Directors ]
f should bo again overwhelmed with qualms ,
s and apprehensions concerning the course .
i which they seem befit upon taking; they may
I continue to ndminiisler relief without fear.— S
i We never had any doubt of their disposition
■ to give all the support to commerce which they i
1 dared to adventure, looking at their own ore- j
■ carious and defenceless position. Now that
they have been fortified by imports of gold
and silver, we cannot imagine any cause for *
supposing that they will decline to carry thro’
promptly and efficiently the arrangement |j
i which they h i vemade with William and Jarru* |
1 Brown if-Co; and will also relieve to the tt- a
’ termost in their power, the holders ol bills i
drawn on the three suspended firms. If thin, g
1 assurance be-veil grounded, we do think the ”,
1 point of extreme severity ottrinl and suffering
has been passed. It is principally with the
> disorganizing effects of a pressure, which is at
this moment in the c turseof being mitigilril s
that we have now to deal; and to deal With |
them effectually requires that we should not
' magnify the evil, hut see it in its just bearing '$
i and proportions.
