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 tl9 .5-8 per-cent, on
, the capital lent. The war Must be ashen (lure-

take place at this rate. The British Government
in,1797, gave six per cent. for the loan, and that
