LONDON :

MONDAY, JANUARY ig, 1818.

Ir has been very confidently reported during the past
week, that it is the intention of government to continue
the Bank Restriction Act for two years longer. The
mere rumour of such a proceeding has produced consi-
derable sensation, although the appearance of the gold
coinage some time ago, was looked upon with no very
favourable eye, aud the expected abstraction of paper
eonsiilered as an approaching inconvenience. The rea-
son assigned for this prolonged restriction is, that
the course of exchange is against us, and that in Lome-
ence, a profit of tour per cent. is to be obtained by
the export ofgold coin. Under such circumstances, it
would certainly be highly imprudent to subject the
ce•lntry to a repetition of those losses, which it has lung
indured by the exportation of the precious metals.—
Until, therefore, our armies arc withdrawn, until the
eeessities of u;tr allies render for.2igni loans unnecessary,
we deem it an act of prudence to restrain cash payments
the country generally is too well satisfied as to the
..bility of the Bank, to bclkve that any other than
)•rudential In Alves dictate this proceLding, though we
(10.11. t not the party who so cuntidently anticipates the
ruin of the country, will hail it as a certain indication
et the approth hir.g fulfilment of their prophecies.
American pai,crs received since our last, contain ac-
counts of tuihtary incvements, but little i.ccording with
lanze age, cf the messagc. Large
