Before the stoppage of the Rink of England there were only 2: - •te country banks, but in April. 1810. the 'limber had increased E.. 721 ; the greater part of these issuing £1 notes, the country w., soon filled with those things which drove all the gold out of cir..n tattoo. One-pound notes and gold coin will never circulate to t ;, - titer long, the cause of which I will clearly show whets I conic t. describe that deplorable event, the " late panic." You are well aware that things, as they become plentiful, have a natural tendency to fall in value. For a short time after du passing of the Bank Restriction Act the one-pound notes were worth 20s. in gold—that is to say, a one-pound note and a shillit; would purchase as much wheat, bread, beef, beer, or other com modities, as a guinea P • but the notes, as they became more an I more plentiful, decreased in value, as before stated.

SI NCE • the commencement of this arduous undertaking in 1826, the most active exertions have been made, with the assist ance of several gentlemen of competent talents and industry, in collecting, by personal application in every City, Borough, Town, and principal Village in the Kingdom, information relative to the present state of each place, which the Proprietors are now en gaged in arranging, and incorporating with much valuable matter, selected during the time the Survey was in progress, from the most authentic Historical Works, National Records, Parliamen tary Documents, and a large collection of valuable Manuscripts with which they have been favoured by gentlemen in various parts of the country, particularly in those counties of which there has not yet been published any complete history. The Work, which is now being printed by klr. Hensley, will comprise Four Volumes quarto, price 40s. each Volume, in Boards, and on large paper, 505. each Volume, to be paid for on delivery,) and will contain, in alphabetical order, the several Odes, Boroughs, Towns, Parishes, Chapelries. and Townships in the Kingdom, with the County, and Division of the County, in which they are respectively situated,—the Distance and Bearing from the nearest post town.—the Population according to the last census,—the na ture of the Living, whether a Rectory, Vicarage, Perpetual Cu racy, Donative, &c. with the value thereof as rated in the King's Books, and the Patron at the latest date of induction—if en dowed by Private Benefaction, Royal Bounty, or Parliamentary grant, the amount of the respective sums.—the Archdeaeonry and Diocese in which each i. situated, and, if of Exempt Jurisdiction, the peculiar Court to which it belongs. The Work will also comprise a summary of the historical events connected with each place, whether of a National or a Local kinds —a concise delineation of its rise, progress or decline, and the causes thereof,—the present state of the Commerce, Trade, and klanufacture,—the facility of communication by Navigable Rivers, Canals, or Rail-roads,—the days on which the M arias and Fair are held, and the staple commodities brought for sale.

Gentassitsx--in giving the history of the One-pound Notes, I shall confine my observations to those which were hatted by the Bank of England, it being useless to say more respecting the one pound notes of country bankers than that they generally rose or fell in value, increased or decreased in quantity, and operated on dealings between man and man, in a similar manner to those of the Bank of England. One.pouod Bank-notes appeared first in the year 1797. In the month of January of that year there was great alum throughout the kingdom, from an unexpected invasion by the French army, and the people very naturally thought that funded property and Bank-notes might not be so good as gold, should the French land in England. Acting on this opinion, those who possessed funded property commenced selling, and tho se who held Bank-notes pea l Dented them for payment in gold. In February following a body of French troops (1,200 in number) landed at Regard, in Wale., and were.sll taken prisoners; but this circumstance augmented the general alarm, caused the run on the Bank to increase at a tre mendous rate, and, on Monday the 27th of February, the Bank of Ragland stopped payment! " What! the Bank of England stop payment !—VII false, 'de Impossible ; the Bank never did nor Dever will stop payment." Something like this will be said or thought by almost every one who will read this letter; but as I proceed, it will be discovered that I am right. On Friday, the 24th of February, the Directors of the Bank, greatly alarmed by the run, sent a deputation to Mr. Pitt (at that time Chancellor of she Exchequer and Prime Minister,) requesting him to interfae ; and he promised them his protection. On Sa turday, the 25th, the run continued with unabated vigour. On Sunday, the 28th, in spite of the 4th Commandment! an Order in Council was passed requiring the Bank to forbear issuing gold in payment of their notes until the sense of Parliament should be taken upon the subject. On Monday, the 271 k. long before the hour of business, an immense crowd assembled round the door of the Bank in order to get geld for the notes they held ; on the door/ being opened, in they rushed—but, instead of gold, they received a copy of the Order in Council. Here, then, was a Banking Company refusing to give gold for their promissory notes, payable on demand to the bearer : .Was this stopping payment, or was it not ? Surely you will say "It was ;' But why did the Bank stop payment? Simply because they bad not sufficient gold to pay their notes, as was stated to Mr. Pitt by the deputation which waited on him on the 24th. What made Mr. Pitt so very affectionate towards the Bank? Why, be cause the Government owed the Bank eleven millions sterling, not one farthing of which has yet been paid. On the 3d of March following an Act was passed, authorising the Bank to issue notes foe sums less than five pounds, and forth came the one and two-pound notes. On the 9th of May another Act was passed, sanctioning what bad been done by the Privy Council and the Bank Directors, authorising Collectors of the Revenue to receive Bank-notes, and permitting the Bank to con done to refuse paying their notes in gold until the 24th'June fol lowing. This last was called" The Bank Restriction Act," and, although it only extended to the 24th June of the same year in which it was passed, yet, from repeated renewals, the Bank did not issue gold before the year 1818. " A very seasonable extension," says it, "to the circulating medibm of the country. without any possible public injury, and we think without loss to the revenue, might be given by reducing the charge for bill stamps on small sums. At present a bill for any sum between two pounds and five guineas requires a ls. stamp ; from five guineas to X2O, a ls. 64. one; and from .610 to £3O, a 95. stamp. Now if the stamp from iet to £lO was ad. and from £lO to 420.9.3. with a ls. stamp from £2O to £3O, a great m-ny more small bills would be drawn. and the scarcity d money occasioned by the withdrawal of the ft notes greatly relieved.— Before the passing of the Bank Restriction Act in 1797, a bill stamp fur the highest sum was only charged two ; and for any sum between £2 and £3O only 6d. Of late year+, since tbr stamps have been raised and altered, and the law respecting cheques altered, the number of bills drawn by the bankers has been very much diminished—as much as 1,200 per cent. upon the present number ; so that, while, in the year 11102, there were drawn by the three Leeds banks no fewer than 71,000 bills, the number drawn by them in the year 1828 amounted only to about 6,000, though the trade of the town In the mean time has greatly increased. It is proper to add. however, that there are many more bills drawn by private individuals now than formerly, but it would tied very greatly to the security of trade if there were more bank ers' bilis, and fewer private ones; and a judicious reduction in the And you have for your note. .. which is one-fourth more than you could purchase with your pound note in 1213. This clearly shows that paper, compared with gold, was not worth more than about ISi. in the pound in that year ; and, on referring to the table, you will see it marked 141.5 d. The same method of calculation wilt bold good in regard to any other year mentioned in the table, by brat finding the reputed value of the guinea.—l am, Gentlemen, your most obedient servant, Plymouth. B. DENSHAII. GERMAN PAPERS. SMYRNA, On. 25. For the last fortnight public attendants, been strongly excited by the insurrection which was said to have broken out in the in terior of Natoli,. and the rapid progress of hbich was plated in exaggerated colours. Though we have hitherto retrained front speaking of this affair, to which circumstances give the greatest im portance, we have collected the most accurate information, which enables us to describe it as it really is. The Insurrection, if this name may be given it, is confined to the province of Alan Gnselissar, in which only one district, that of Rodenrisch, refund to join it. The inhabitants of this district, satisfied with the administrafo t of their Aga, informed the insurgents that they would not receive them, and threatened to oppose them by fence if they should, notwith standing this notice, show thent.elves among them. The inha bitants of the other districts, on the contrary, incensed at the op pression and extortion of the Government, and resol-ed to repel force by force, called to their aid a chief of the Zeybecks (irregular mountain troops). who at present commands about 1,000 men, and placed him in'a manner at the bead of this insurrection. Wherever be appeared he moved without blood-bed the existing authoritit s, protested indeed his obedience to the Government of the Sultan, and his respect fur his person, but announced the abolition of the new taxes, and the ample execution of the new firman relative t the levy of taxes issued two years ago. This firman enjoined the Governors and Agas, with threats of seem punishment, to treat the people with mildness and justice 9 and to con fi ne them - selves to demanding the taxes(tithes)imposed by preceding firmans. This is in general the substance of the demands of this province. which has put itself, as it were, under the protection of this chief, making him :he organ of its complaints. But this chief has already shined his power, and demands form the rich .inbabitat ts more titan these moderate taxes, for exceeding which he reproaches the authorities. Some districts already murmur against lint.— The Government, which seems to have considered this affair as unworthy of its attention, doubtless desired Ito let it decline f itself, and it bas succeeded. The insurrection has lost the greatsr part of its strength, and the military chief ass himselt almost deserted by the population. However, as it is aholiste:y necessary to 'educe to order the province which Is at present Iv t - drawn from the Sultan's Government, orders have come to-day from Constantinople for Ries Aga to reduce to order the rebi I noue Zeybecki and their chief, on whom alone the vengeance of the Government will undoubtedly fall. Ries Aga, who is one of the most powerful iJerebegs of Natolia, enjoys great public esteem, which will reduce the rebellious districts sooner thin his troops could do. • His very name is a pledge which they will gladly accept, so that a speedy termination of this insurrec tion may be foreseen. It it was not calculated to give the Goverment very serious alarm, it must, however, tend to show it the necessity of employing the leisure that place will afford to regulate the Administration, to reduce the burdens borne by the people to a due prop. rtion with its means,and, observing the prin ciples of justice and political economy, to take advents,' of au the resources which tbi• rich country and its excellent population 'ter to the Sultan."—dillgeesenw Zeining Titl MTS, Nov. 23.
