LETTERS FROM PARIS,
ON THE RESUMPTION OF CASH PAYMENTS BY

THE BANK OF ENGLAND,

Nunquanz ulnas dicitur, quad nunquani saki. discitur,

LETTER L—IN'FRODUCTORY.—Martcu 4.
The recent English Papers are full of articles
on the Bank-Restrictions and the absolute neces-
sity of Cash Payments.- The very tone and lan-
guage 'lf these writings discover their source, for
it is hard to say whether ignorance or want of
good breeding most preponderates ; they spring
from those "Friends of Reform," those Enemies
of Public Order, who can only hope to better

heir existence by the overthrow of the Edifice o

the State ; they therefore endeavour -to sap its
-• base, confident, that if it falls, its rich ma,a-
rials, now above their reach, will fall into their
hands. It is not the interest of these men to lis-
ten to reason, or they would long since have been
convinced of not only the iniquity, but the impo-
licy of their attacks ; but Delenda est Carthago is
' their motto, and reasoning with them is vain; for,
like the enemies of ihe Christian Religion, in
vain we refute their arguments, in vain we shew
their absurdity, in vain we paint the fatal conse-
quences of their unbelief ; they still persist in the
same path, and run headlong to their ruin. Un-
fortunately in this reading age, the diatribes of
these enemies of their country's glory, and her
peace, are not without their effect ; for however
clumsy their attacks, there are still some whose
heads are as weak as the hearts of these men are
wicked,;and consequently fancy them in the right;
it may not, therefore, be amiss to lay down in a
clear manner, the elements or bases of the ques-
tions of paper currency and cash payments, from
which the unprejudiced, however illiterate, may
draw an unerring conclusion, and set the question
at rest in his own mind for ever ; it will then be
seen, that the system so much decried is pre-

cisely that which has contributed essentially to
raise England to that state of solid glory which
Makes her the envy of the world:

A MONTH AT STEVFNS'S,--This new Satirical
Novel is reported to contain, not only anecdotes
of all those who have resided at this celebrated
Ilotel, but of a large portion of our leading
Fashionables. Unlike most Satirical Novels, the
plot is extremely interesting and well-managed
t oughout.

cr only shod() be capitally punished may
admit of very reasonable doubts, but a say
cruelty is often the result of a hardened m
anti• flagitious habits, that would produce Mur
der, if not from fear.—Even with respect to
FORGERY-in a commercial Country, it may be
doubted whether capital denunciations ought not
to be bell forth, as it is a crime_ that requires
great patience, labour, and time, as well ,as
skill, that could always supports the offender,
if properly directed. Considering the subject
as one of great importance, and earnestly wishing
that it may undergo complete discussion, we have
given a full account of Mr. SINCLAIR'S speech
last night in the House of Commons, and while
we admire his good sense and hiumtnity, we are
much gratified by the liberal manner in which he
pays tribute to the eloquence of the Honourable
Mover of the Question, SirLymEs MACKINTOSH
