In the Literau Gazelle appears a proposition, according
to which the currency of I:reat Britain is to consist of
paper only—but of paper stamped and issued by the State.
Ms would unquestionably furnish us with a more econo-
mical circulation than that consisting of the precious metals,
and one to which no reasonable objec.ion could be made on
the score of security; but on the other hand, it would be
o-e which in times of embarrasllmmt, when the temptation
to abuse was strongest, dm tioyermnent of the day might
depreciate by increasing to an infinite amount. The idea,
however, may bear discussion, and we feel that we should
not act fairly towards the Editor of the publication alluded
to, by suppressing our knowledge of its having recently
ecntaincil this article within its et 7tunna.—Tilnes.

UNEMPLOYED Per NTERS.—We observe that the Corn-
mittee for the unemployed printers, finding, from the num-
ber and urgency of the applications made to them, that they
could not adhere to their original resolution of confining
the aubsctiptinn in behalf of their distressed brethren to the
trade and those individuals immediately connected with it,
have appealed to the public. Monday was the first day on
which any application was- made to persons not connected
with the art, and it is pith much pleasure we state, that
the first subscriber was the Right Hun. the Lord President,
who, in the most liberal and handsome manner, presented
the Committee with 10!. We hope his Lordship's exam-
ple will operate strongly in favour of this respectable and
useful class of mechanics, whom the hardness of the times
has impelled to trust to the benevolence and good sense of
the public.—Ediaburgh Courant.
BRUSkEt.i, OCT. 6.-4 private letter received here from
Friesland contradicts the assertion that the malady only
rages among the lower classes; and says, that, unfortu-
nately, it has begun to manifest itself in every quarter.
The prospect is, indeed, melancholy in the extreme; and
it was feared, that if the morbifc humidity were not dissi-
pated, the malignity of the epidemv would increase daily.
The exertions of the Governor of Friesland are above all
praise: not only has be made every exertion to arrest the
alarming progress of the fever, but he has ordered clothes
and proper nourishment to he given to the poor; and as
cleanliness will prove of most essential benefit, nothing
could be more judicious than the conduct he has pursued.
The number of deaths, daily, is very great.

FAMILY COMPACT.—The following is an accurate copy
of the letter addressed by the French Consul at Santander,
to the Chamber of Marine at Bayonne :
ENTLE sir.x,—On the part of she maritime trade of Bayonne,
I inform you that by a Decree of his Most Christian 31ajeste,
brouttlit by a courier yeaterdny, to the Marine Department of this
province. permission is given to all foreign Bags to coast from
one port of Spain to another, to the end of the year. It
will not depend on me, if, by the principle of this authority, the
French flag should not be admitted, :fter the expiration of this
term, to coast front one Spanish port to another, in execution of the
24th Article of the Family Colipset.
I have the honour to be, Bte.
AiLIX,
The following Letter was yesterday rcecived at Lloyd's,
from the Consul-General and Agent at St. Michael's:—
" On board his Mujtsty'a ship Diamond,

the 12th instant, an 1 sailed on the 14th, on her voyage to India.—
On the Ifith the Diamond, under the command of Lord Napier,
having his Excellency Sir Charles Stuart, the British Ambassador,
on board, appeared off, with a large ship dismayed in tow ; on
going on hoard. I found it to be a ship laden with timber, that the
vier-Consul, Kendall, had r.ported to you as having put into St.
Mary's. and to which Island Mr. Kendall went over in his Ma-

mere trifle; with the assistance that Mr. Kendall procure!, the
vessel was pumped nut, her rafts-ports secured ai.d caulked, and
she is row fitted with jury-moats by Lord Na;•ia, who intends
taking her to England. She is supposed to be the ante ship that
Lord Byron fell in with six months ego, and took away the few
surviving crew, who had subsisted on the dead bodies of their fel-
low.ereaturrs. As Loyd Napier has 'lb:O.:yeti so much zeal, and is
so desirous of getting the vessel to Englanu, I have ah,talow from
all interference as Agent to Lloyd's, other than giving him an
assistance in money to pay her disbursements at St. Mary's, which
his Lordship has repaid ire. I accompanied Sir Charles Stuart to
