FRENCH PAPERS. FINANCES OF ENGLAND. ARTICLE TRANSLATED FROM A GERMAN JOURNAL. The financial measures of which the English Mi nisters procured the adoption in Parliament, during its - last Session, are of a character so singular, that they cannot escape general attention. We perceive in them The creation of a Paper Money, by giving bank-notes a fOrced circulation (1). . The abolition of the law wiich imposed on the Bank the obligation to recommence its payments in specie two year: afters pea:e. This is a necessary consequence of the preceding measure ; for Banknotes, become repres sentative signs, • are no longer susceptible of conver sion into specie ; a thing, besides, impossible, when we consider the numerous issues of notes that will take place in rapid succession (2). The depreciation of Me Coin. The pound is actually coined at 16s. instead of 20s.—a measure evidently ' adopted in order to place gold and silver on a level with the existing value of Bank-notes, which are at a ' discount of 20 per cent. The export of gold and sil leer is thus hoped to be prevented ; for, according to the old proportion between gold and notes, alf.s f in (notes may be purchased for se4 sterling in gold. , The solemn declaration, that England being no longer able to pay off her debts, most confine herself to se curing the payment of the interest ; which is in effect saying to the English—lf you mean to receive the interest of the funds lent to Government, you must accept of paper money (3). ' The necessary result of these data is—that the English Ministers have changed their system of fin- Lance, and propose that the system of loam should give place to that of paper money. All enlightened men have foreseen that the infal lible and combined system upon which the French ' Government pursued its attack upoa English mono poly must sooner or later sap the system of loans is Its very basis—public credit: Its predictions have been strikingly accomplished ; the facts which we have enumerated leave no doubt of it, and equal the most brilliant victories which could have been obtain ed. The acknowledgments torn from the English Ministers themselves are real spolia opima, for they are a conquest gained over what the English hold most dear—their credit. But what were the events which convinced Minis ters that their credit began to fail, and that it was time to abandon a system which no longer had any support ? The Ministers are silent ; let us endeavour to penetrate the darkness in which they love to wrap themselves. It is well known that the Enl ist Government ti employed the house of Goldschmit, of London, to L negotiate its loans in the Stock Exchange, and to [exchange them for money. Goldschmit advanced to Government considerable sums in money, and in bills of exchange payable at the times when he depended on receiving from Government the funds ' which he had advanced. But whether the loan pro -1 ved unsuccessful, or Government was under the ab. 'solute necessity of otherwiie employing the funds destined for the payment of their banker, Goldschmit failed to receive them at the time agreed upon, and found it impossible to pay his bills, of exchange, and satisfy the bankers who had assisted him with their • advances. There was only one resource left him— that was, to expose the inability of Government, and to demand a delay; but what a scandal, what humi liation for the Ministry! Goldschmit preferred taking the shame of the event upon himself, in order to save if possible the honour of the Government, at the ex pence of his personal credit. The English Ministers have escaped, as it were, by a miracle, from n danger so imminent, perceiving that there would be too much risk in any longer making the movements of the machine of politics depend up on springs which were worn out by long friction. A second embarrassment of the same sort with that from which the heroic devotedness of Goldschmit , delivered them might prove fatal, because the bankers GENERAL ORDERS. would be more cautious in their advances, and it 0 Head Quarters at Cintra, August Iti, 1811. was not probable that a second Codrus would step " His Excellency the Marshal having learn...l that in to save them.

The Spanish Paper called the Redartar Genera!, of the 7Lh, contains the following article : 4 , It is said that General Apodaca has transmitted from London a copy of the Propositions made by Bo naparte to the English Government, and that they were laid before the Cortes in the last Secret Sittings. According to report, these propositions are incompa tible with the honour and dignity of the British pe0p1 , .., and still more so with the resolution of the Spanish people, since they contain a plan for dismembering the Spanish Monarchy. The territory beyond the Ebro, and a part of America, was to belong to France —the Prince Regent of Portugal was to reign over the rest of the Peninsula in right of his spouse, preserving the other part of America ; Cadiz and other points t,) be given to the English.
