Frrvn this calculation 1,980,3'° dels. 43
cents fhoul 1 hive been the real balance of
cash in t!ie linking f.ind on 15th of Fe
bruary I 793, but as some unafcertaineo ad
ditions are to be made to the monies indi
reflly t ravrn hither, as slated by the Se
cretary in his report of the 15th leb
179',, and as the linking fund is continu
ally increasing by means of the interrft
falling due upon the principal of the debt
purchased, it may with fafety be a'Xerted
that the capacity of the finking fund from
the 15th of February 17 3to the present
time, Ihould be at leall equal to 2;003, 000
dols. in actual cash.
It will be recolletfted that the sum of
416,885 dols. 75 cents, iscompofed of the
domeflic revenue preceding the end of i~yo,
and of course mull have been received in
cash previously to this time— I hat the fu u
of 1,388,452 dols. 23 r ents, is composed
of tlie fale3 of bills upon fhr.rt credits from
the I ;th December 1790 ta the end ofthe
y.ar 1792, and of course mud have been
received in cash previously to this time—
That the sum of 659,874 do's 34 c> nts, is
compolcd of the appropriations fur the
payment of the inter.it on the domellic
leht, which were received for so much by
the fubllitution of the principal borrowed
abroad ir. their Head, and it is ita I .ed !>v
the Secretary that of t ofe appropriation;
there remained unexpended 0:1 the 14th ol
February 1793, the sum of 1,395,
65 cents, end of course this lund cannot
be deficient of cash.
This flatement is taken from the report:
of the Secretary of the Treasury, and is
vouched to be corredtly taken ; and theft
fevcral futr.s are 11 ted by h'rn to be charg
able upon the sum of 5,114,696 do!s. 5c
cents, being the gross amount of all mo
nies and revenues on hand at the end ol
179 a.
The commifiioners for ptirchafing the
public debt are authorized by law to in veil
this enormous sum of 2,000,c00 d®!s. in thf
purchase of llx per certs at twenty ihiilingt
(i the p .und, and it was recommended by
ihe Secretary of the Treasury during thi
\ijl fejjion of Congress, that their difevetio
Ihould be extended to the invelli'.tue of tV.is
fund at a rate as high as twenty-two [hi
lings and fixpencc in the pound.—Six pc>
cents are now at lixteen fbillings in the
pound, and other species of paper relative
ly li»w, and no ingenuity or labor of ours
has been able to raise the price of them.
From this flatement of fails car.did re
sponses are requefled to the following
quefllons.
Whether the l'nvcfliture of 2,cro,occ
of dollars in the purchase of the public
debt, would not without a competition,
r.bforb ail the paper actually afloat in ths
markets of New-York, and
801 l on ?
Whether the deH would not be brought
up at lealt to its par value by evidencing
an ability to make such invelliture ?
Whether the public interest does not
call aloud for such an invelliture while the
debt remains under par ?
What are the various causes of this la
mentable effedt, the lou pr ice cf paper, il
there be not " fotr.ething rotten in the
Hate of Denmark."
When thefa interefling qneftiors are
candidly and fatisfaftorily answered, some
further propositions will be presented
equally interelling to the commnnitv in
general, and to the brotherhood in parti
cular.

need not be observed, that the seventeen rnsns to
