DECLINE OF CREDIT IN
GREAT BRITAIN AND IRELAND.
It is unnecessary to refill* our readers to the
anticipations of several years past in this
paper, on tne inevitable effects of the Bri
■ isii financial and commercial forcing sys
it in--Our readers at least cannot have for
gotten the particular essay under the signa
ture .,f Irukpenny Couid any rational
mind calculate upon a trade carried on
titi o gli Heligoland, through Malta, through
Saidinia 01 A'giers, as competent to pay
expenc's and • e .urn profits—or to make re_
,.rii- a v i lequ.ite to value? The fa

ciicle of oo'omercfc all its principlesare o

The depreciation of the paper money of
Great Britain, and the consequent dcstruc
lion of both public and private credit (e- '
veil's which couldnoy have occdrrcd so long
as limish commerce encredsed in ratio with
the- augmentation of the circulating medi

The cause is obvious to all, except those
Who believe that an annual accumulation of
flcbr mid taxes, can never produce anati„
on a I bankrup'cv in Gieat Britain, merely
because fortuitous circumstances in com .
merce have prevented the occurrence of
Oia catastrophe so soon as we predicted.
In thfe year 1797 the bank ot England be
came so exhausted of Specie, in conse
quence of having supplied the government
with funds to pay the subsidies to th?* Em
peror of Germany, the kmgof Prussia 8cc.
for the purpose of “ blcrtnig France out of
the map of Europe,” that it became nec.es
sary to stop payment, and since that pe
rind, tothc present day, the hank lias paid
no specie to the public, and has liquidated
its old debts only by Issuing neiv notes.
Their notes, it appears, have passed with
•he British public for the last thirteen years
us a circulating medium, the same as if
their value had been established by specie
of a solid kind representing them, in the
vaults oi the bank. The effect, was, that
the bank directors finding themselves exo.
tierated from meeting their notes with spe
cie, expended their discounts and augment
rd the emission of their notes from eleven
millions, at th* period of their defalcation,
to nearly if not quite 20 millions sterling in
the year 1809 j and in the mean timr, !•*’<■»
ever specie the bank possessed, was at the
disposal of the British minister.
A similar system was adopted by ,the
bank of Ireland——andThe circulating me
dium of b<»th Countries and mercantile ac
commodation, were enormously encreased.
The country banks followed the example
of the mother bank, and issued their paper
without regard to the amount——thus fur
nishing the means of speculation to persons
of no real capital, who have been shipping
largely to the Mediterranean, 'he BVtic, to
Saxony, to Spain, the Brazils, the West
Indies, Sec. where they have found only ru
inous markets ; and this is the chief cause
why the exports of Great “Britain appeared
by the budget of last year to be so unusual
ly large, and which aft*>rded cause for so
much deceptiousexultation toth- British mi
nister and the partisans of England.
The natural result is, that the banks who
lent money to me t without capi'al, must in
.the end sustain losses incurred by their un
fortunate speculations This is well known
tothe public, who have latterly a.'v> disco
vered bv the declaration of Mr. Huskisson,
late a Secretary of the British Treasury,
that a government owing a debt of more
than seven hundred millions of pounds ster.
ling, and expending seventy millions of
pounds every year, had not the means of
raising for the Walchercn expedition, a lar
ger sum m specie than 125.0001. sterling
Thi» fact, together With the confessions
of Lord Castlereagh to Sir John Moore,
with respect to the inability pf the British
government to supply the army in Spaiu
with specie, and above all. the circum
stance of gold, being at a high premium for
the purpose of shipping to the continent of
Europe, tin account of the exchange run_
ning20 to SO per cent, to the disadvantage
of England, have awakened a portion of the
people of Great Britain and Ireland to an
examination of the foundation of their cir
culating medium. They can perceive no
thing but fiafier throughout ihe nation, in
vtmiV’i uicn Lwuiiucutc is idsi UMiimibinng.
and the match once applied to the tinder,
will in a short time produce an explosion
that will prove dreadtul in proportion to
the magnitude of the edifice which has been
erected by British Selfishness, pride, ava.
rice, jealousy and credulity.—The close
commercial connexion which exis*s through
mercantile ngenc es, and open and conceal
ed part'-erships between he Uni ed States
and G Britain, involving the fortunes of a
vast number of our citizens in the fate of
the British financial system, ought to induce
the people of the Uni'ed States tq scrutinize
wi’h caution the state of that nation, and
thedanger to which its perilous eircumstan
ces exnose all .who are that way or in anv
w sr connected or dependent Let them
uv.ke an unprejudiced calculation of the con

people is to re1 ire fiom the vortex of Euro
pean langers, Fall back upon their internal
resources, and carry on a commerce within
themselves, which on trial will not only be
found to yield a more permanent and advan
tageous profit than foreign commerce, but
will also render the United States indepen
dent of foreign natibns, and save us from
participating in the broils of the European
power wno may be yet for 20 years engaged
in the destruction of each other, and who in
the mean time will use ever) means in their

and give to each the consideration which its im

a desperate conflict with the natives of
