The principal Merchants in the city had an inter
'view with the Bank Rte Clots on .Wednesday,- the
result of which is, that an adyauce will be &iven to
houses in the same way as I.va4 practised on the for,.
mer occasions of_ distress, • and ,thus we . have no
doubi-the pressure will berelie,ed. The first cause
of all thisembarrassment, no dotibt, was the faci-
lity with which unh6onded speculition was .sup-
}forted by discount. Theopeding that was present, !i
ed to adventurers at Buenos Ayres.and La Plata
made our therChants enter into very indiscreet .con-
sioments, which have'novbeen realized, and now'
the manutaiturers,must be paid, ;

The tluctualion. in the funds yesterday morning
was considerable., Otunium waS'done at 2 percent.

among the Country Bankers there hitherto is but
very little abatement. The Bank of ..England, are;
we understand, anxibus to ,concur in any measure

, A Party-Poetaster has inserted in a Morning Paper.
a Parody on Mr. CAZ;ZNINGIS admirable Song, "The'.
Pilot that wcatheCd the Storm, in which he has
made Mr. Fox the hew of his piece, and has reviled
the memory of - Mr. PITT. Unhappily ,for this
Poetaster; Mr. Fox left a book behind him, which
is so indifferent a composition, that it is now consi-
dered as little better than waste 'paper, and, has in-
duced the world, to wonder how it could be so long
delnded:into a beiief that the author was a great man.
As to the despicable abuse.. which the Poetaster has
cast upon the charaeter of Mr. PITT, it Would be
insulting the memory of that truly great and good
man to make any answer to it. Mr. PITT. is ad-
Mired by all wise and good men at present, and his.
private and political character will he held in vene-
ration as long as this country exists; while that of
his-competitor will be remembered %%WI very diffe-
rent feelings and opinions, if rerrienlbered at all.
