A :Ural I CAN PAPE RS. THE LOAN. " The campaign in 'Upper Canada, and on our frontier is ,now begun in earnest ; and the ob stinacy of the enemy evinces his determination to • conquer or perish.

The Congress has tact, again ; and an immense majinit.y is in stipeort. Of the war—should more • money be demanded it will be voted, but at an enormous interest. In purpose to giveour readers a clear idea of interest paid for the 16,000,009 loan we shalt n o t express' ourselves in the manner " • of in three, four, and five percents. The Britisir agent, Parish, and French agent, Girard, offered the Government 881. in bank-paper for every 1001. in treasury bonds, bearing interest at six per cent. being *about t l9 .5-8 per -cent, on , the capital lent. The war Must be ashen (lure , Om), otherwise' a national bankruptcy will soon take place at this rate. The British Government in,1797, gave six per cent. for the loan, and that was the most trying period Britain ever experi enced itr her financial department. 'Loans for these twenty years past, have not exceeded five per cent. on the average,----We Nave the finances, to take notice of the plan Olthe compeign.
