that dera; kement of the system, produced by the destructive
habit of • the inconsiderate schoolboy, . which brings on those
distressing Debilities and Deficiencies that prevent or embitter
the Matri.t:onial state. The successful result of their plan,
gives them additional ardour to oppose the ravages of these

In the_instances which are most fa,nili ir in the

istory of foreign countries, the excess of paper has

been usually accompanied "by another circtifflstanc
which has no plate in -our situal ion at.preseut, a

watit of confidence in the
,sufficienc.:y of those funds
upon which the paper had been issued. Where these

of the excess only of a paper of perfectly gauda tre-,

pies of the former kind are to be found in the his- • '

in North AMeriCa, in "the-eirly part of the last

tory, and in that of the assignats of the kr6nCh Re-

such precautionary measures on the part of the Edin-
burgh banks, an Ad of Parliament prohibited the
opttobal clauses, and suppressed ten and five shil-
ling notes. The exchange between. England and
Scotland was speedily restored- to ifs natural rate;
and bills on London at a fixed date having ever since
been.given in exchange for the circulating notes of
Scotland, all material excess of Scottish paper above
Bank of England.has been prevented, and the ex-
change has been stationary._ . •

.
The experi:mce of the Batik of England
within a very irt period after its first establishment
furnishes a very instructive illustration of ail the
foregoing principles and reasonings. In this instance,
the eifeets of a depreciation of the coin, by wear and
clipping, were coupled with the effect of an excessive
issue of paper. The DireCiors of the Bank of England
did not at once attain a very accurate knowledge of all
the.prineiples by which such
.an institution must be
concluded. They lent money not only by dis Count,
but upon real securities, mortgages, and even
.pledges, of commodities not perishable; at the same
time the Rank contributed most materially to the
service of Government for the support of the army
upon the Continent. By the libcrality of those loins
to private individuals) as well as by the large ad-
vances to Governinent, the quantity of the notes of
the Bank became excessive, their relative value was.
depreciatcd, and they tell to a discount of 17 per
cent. At this: time there appears to have been no
failure of the' public confidence in the funds of time
‘Bank,; for its Stock sold for -1 10 per cent. though
only i 0 per cent. upon the subscriptions had ,beeTi
paid in. By the conjoint effect of this depreciation
of the paper of the Bank trout excess, and of the
depreciation of time siiser coin from wear and clip-
ping, the prce., of gold bullion was so much raised,
that guintas were es high as 305.; Il that had re-
. mai hed of goof. silver gradually disappeared front time
circulation and the IlAchange with Holland, which
larad been • bvtore alittle affected by the remittances
fur • the army, slink, as .loW as 25 per cent. under
p4r, when Bank notes were •It a direonnt,of 17
pier cent. Several • expedients were Inci I, hottiby
Parliament and by the Bank, to forte a better silver
coin into cnowation, and to reduce the price of gui-
neas, bqt without effect. At length the true reale-
d y, ies were resorted tr: first, by a ne.w cainager of
silver, which restored that part of the currency to
its standard yail,l4 though the scarcity of money od-
ca,iowid by calling in the old coin brought the Bank
into streignis, and even for a time affected its cre,!it;
secondly, by taking out of the circtwation the excess
et Bank notes: This last‘operatiJA appeats to have
h,•en etfc:ded very judiciously. Parlatuent consent-

" BAToribm., 'JULY 25.—An English squadron,
cornrosed of one sail of the line and seven frigates,
• *appeared list Satimliy in the Bay of Biscay, .and
dropped anchor off Santago, between Bilboa and
St. Andero. The number of land troops which it
has on board is not yet knoWn. The enemy's in-
tentiou is probably to make a diversion, and, create.
a disturbance in the country, but that view shall.
.111°4 c.:rtainly not be attained.
" The garrisons of Bilboa, San Antler°, and Vit-
.
tori:i, are more than sufficient to prevent a landing,
should the enemy's force amount to from 8 to
10,000 intn."

A vesiel arrived yesterday at Portsmouth from
Lis6on, which=place shtt kft on the 9111 instant, at
which pertod.no account . had arrived of any action
or of any movement of importance on the part of

Some, Dutch and German Papers have reached

An article in the Papers from Bohemia, under
of the '2Bth JutY,ntent ions, that the tour of the
Ex• King of Holland was solely for the re-establish-
ment of his health ; and that—he had become a
birder in the house of a Physician, of the name of
Amattost, residing at Toplitz.

• A Letter from. an Officer in' the Briti•!3 army in
Portugat gives the follOWing account of the move-
menti r,r ihe.itoops:--
~ After General CRAUFURD'S affirm on the 24th,
near A!meida, General PATON'S division was on the
night of the ;Zsth obliged to abanJoa Pinhel, and next
day it fell back near to Villa Franca das Naves. The
Li;hißrigade also retired to Fraxedas, about a league
in front of Alverca ; the Light Cavalry remaining, in
al.vance. Early in the morning of the 28th, he Bri-
gade under Lord BLANTYRE, which was at Villa
Franco das Naves, retired about a league and a half
to join itt6 Guards under Colonel.STorivoaD, and on
that same day Colonel STOPFORD'S division, consist-
ing then of the Guards and of Lord 'BLANTYRE'S
Mitotic. retreated seven leagues and a hall to Sam-
payo, on the high road to Coimbra.
" The v. hole army retired about t'he same time,
and the light division was that night (the 281 b) at
Celorico, Tile cavalry alone were left a league in
front of that i)lace. N.xt morning. the 29th, Colo-
nal SToPFortn's division retired to Pinhancos, two
leagues from Sampayo.- '

Letters. from Oporto state that some apprehen-
sions were entertained there lest the division of Ge-
neral JusoT should approach that city by the way
of Zamora. Every thing that was valuable bad
been embarked, and Colonel TR p,NT had set out
to put himself at the head of t4,u00 Militia to
oppose the enemy's approach, but it was feared
this force wolild not be adequate to the task
of resisting the formidably division of *General.Ja-
NOT. At Lisbon, however, very little uneasiness
was expressed upon this subject.
Yes.crday the first pile of Vauxhall Bridge was
driven into the bed of the Thames, and was saluted
by a discharge of cannon from Cumberland Gardens.
This new bridge is to be built just above the Vaux-7
ball Ferry, and will pass over Just on the east side
of Cumberland G.irdens. Considerabe speculations
are eonneeted with this improvement.
