SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.

FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY.

GLOBE.—President Tyler says it would be "un-
profitable to look further into the anomalous state of
things," which has resulted in the American Go-
vernment being unable to negotiate the smallest loan
in Europe on any terms; while the Governments of
Europe can readily obtain loans at a greatly reduced
rate of interest. He " cannot conclude without adding,"
that Fora Government which has paid off its debts of
two wars with the largest maritime Power of Europe,
and now owing a debt which is almost next to no-
thing when compared with its boundless resources—
a Government the strongest in the world, because
emanating from the popular will, and firmly rooted
in the affections of a great and free people, and whose
fidelity to its engagements has never been questioned ;
for such a Government to have tendered to the capi-
talists of other countries an opportunity for a small
investment of its stock, and yet to have failed, im-
plies either the most unfounded distrust in its good
faith, or a purpose, to obtain which the course pur-
sued is the most fatal which could have been adopted."
The intimation conveyed in the conclusion of this
paragraph to European capitalists, appears to be, that
the only chance of being paid their debts is—to lend
more. One cannot but adntire the adroitness with
which the European creditors of America are put,
as it were, in the wrong, and made to appear
actuated by some sinister "purpose," in refusing
a request so reasonable as that they should throw
good money after bad. The American " pur-
pose " of borrowing more, without making any
provision of any kind for paying the debts incurred
already, is kept out of view in this passage ;
and the European "purpose" of being —if not paid,
at least afforded some prospect of payment—is
represented as a purpose the most "fatal" to all
chance of payment, that could have been adopted I
This is not an uncommon style amongst debtors of a
certain description. "My dear fellow," says Jona-
than, seeking a new loan, " how much are we in
your debt ? "—or, in President Tyler's new and
expressive phrase, " What is the general in-
debtedness of our States and individuals to
yours ?"—" Not that I have any intention of paying
you. My fidelity to my engagements has never
been questioned ; and, in order that it never may,
I take good care never to contract any that my subs
can positively contrive to contract instead. They
are' accordingly overwhelmed in debt; but my debt
is almost next to nothing. It is therefore very
hard and unreasonable that those European Go-
vernments which are involved in debt,' and whose

subjects are heavily burdened with taxation,'
should readily obtain loans everywhere, while
I can't raise a shilling in the world." It is
truly astonishing to us that the official organ of
the Federal Government should, ostrich-like, thrust its
head in the sand in this fashion, and think to conceal
its body. What a monstrous assumption it is to assert
that the good faith of the American Government is
unquestioned; in the same breath in which that Go-
vernment is described as the creature of the popular
will ; and at the very moment in which that popular
will has been chiefly signalised by repudiating either
the State-debts, or :at least all taxation to pay them !

STANDARD.—The following paraorapi of the
Message of the American President has singular
claims upon the attention of reflecting men :
" And thus the mortifying spectacle has been pre-
sented of the inability of this Government to obtain
a loan so small as not in the whole to amount to more
than one-fourth of its ordinary annual income; at a
time when the Governments of Europe, although
involved in debt, and with their subjects heavily
burdened with taxation, readily obtain loans to
any amount at a greatly reduced rate of inte-
rest. It would be unprofitable to look further
into this anomalous state of things, but I can-
not conclude without adding, that for a Go-
vernment which has paid off the debts of two wars
with the largest maritime Power of Europe, and now
owing a debt which is almost next to nothing when
compared with its boundless resources—a Government
the strong,,st in the world, because emanating from
the popular will, and firmly rooted in the affections
of a great and free people, and whose fidelity to its
engagements has never been questioned; for such a
Government to have tendered to the capitalists of other
countries an opportunity for a small investment of its
stock, and yet to have failed, implies either the most
unfounded distrust in its good faith, or a purpose to
obtain which, the course pursued is the most fatal
which could have been adopted."

The credit of the United States is no more. It
is worth a moment's inquiry to ascertain the
causes of its fall. We need not delay the inves-
tigation by following the President's attempt to dis-
tinguish between the credit of the Union and the
several credits of the different States of which it is
composed. The Union is a firm, the several States
are the partners in that firm, and whether we regard
the causes that have led to the general loss of credit
as founded in dishonesty or insolvency—and they must
be assigned to the one or the other—the effect
must be the same. If the bankrupt members of the
.firm are merely dishonest, their dishonesty must re-
flect upon the whole company, which wants either
the will or the power to restrain its members from
the commission of gross fraud, and which may,
therefore, be expected to imitate, in its collective
character, the same fraud when occasion shall arise.
If, on the other hand, the repudiating States can
plead insolvency, the Union must be regarded as
insolvent, unless it can be shown that some of the
States are rich enough to make good the defalcation
of their partners. We take, however, the charitable
hypothesis : we believe the repudiating States to be
really insolvent—that it is " their poverty and not
their will consents" to the cheat by which creditors
suffer. These States have borrowed more than they
are able to pay—more than they ever will be able to
pay. This casts a useful light upon the future, as
well as upon the past, of American history. If the
Republicans have been borrowing more than they
have any prospect of being able to pay, they have
been all this time living upon the money and the in-
dustry of strangers. All the prosperity—all the im-
provement—all " the going a-head," which they and
others have been fond of ascribing to their democrati-
cal institutions, have been fallacious as such a proof,
because they have been the fruit of a robbery—it
may be, and we are willing to believe it has been,
an undesigned robbery—of the people of countries
that are not democratical. The inference as to
the future is gloomy enough. lf, with an unim-
paired credit, with a land-fund difficult to exhaust,
with that prosperous use of bath which has been the
subject of so much exultation, the Republicans have
not been able to avoid bankruptcy, what may they an-
ticipate with these resources cut off—and in their bank-
rupt condition ? It is no pleasant prospect to look
upon the retrogradation in civilization and happi-
ness of so many millions of our kinsmen, but
we confess that we cannot see any other prospect
except through an essential change in the constitu-
tion of the Republic—a change perhaps extending
to a dissolution of its Union. This, however, is a
consideration for Americans. As Englishmen, we
shall benefit by whatever may promote the happi-
ness, the prosperity, and, though it may seem a
paradox to some, by the strength of the North
American States; but this gives us no right to
speculate upon the policy they ought to pursue. We

FROM TEE MORNING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY.
POST.—The London payments of the Yorkshire
Agricultural and Commercial Joint-stock Bank have
proceeded to-day at the house of agency as hereto-
fore. The deputation of gentlemen sent up to town
by the Directors have returned to Yorkshire, where
they will lend their assistance in the negotiations for
the transfer of the business to 'another bank, which
it is believed will have a successful and mutually
satisfactory termination.
The bankilig'de-rangements in the ICorth of Eng-
land are owing more immediately to the late failures
in the corn trade.

The Canada papers by this arrival state that, in
consequence of the advices from England regarding
American provisions, some of the largest holders had
withdrawn themselves from the markets. The stock
of beef at Montreal had been almost wholly absorbed,
the late low prices having induced large shipments
to this country. The last sales made were at 23-
dollars for cargo, 4 dollars for prime, and 61 dol-
lars for prime mess. The stock of American pork
was estimated to be about 40,000 barrels, and
cargo hed realised 4I dollars, psim3 53 dollars,
prime mess 7'dollars, and mess 5' to 184 dollars.
Canadian cured provisions had ranged from ss. to
7s. 6d. per barrel higher, which was, in reality, lower
than the price of American, as the latter are inadmis-
sible in this market, unless at 13s. per barrel extra
duty. The entire supply of Canadian pork had
already been shipped to England.
The project started some time since by the mer-
chants of Halifax, for fitting out vessels from that
,port for the prosecution of the whale fishery, and in
furtherance of which subscriptions were entered into,
is about to be carried into execution. Two vessels,
namely, the ship Rose and a new brig, were upon
the point of being sent on a whaling voyage. It
was expected that Halifax would be much benefited
' by the measure, as it would have the effect of retain-
ing a large amount of capital in the city, while it
would render the province independent of the Ame-
ricans fur supplies.
TIMES.—The commercial and financial portions
of the President's Message. which appeared in the
whole of our yesterday's impression, are necessarily
the chief objects of consideration in the City to .day.
From his declaration that extravagant duties dereat
their own object by setting the agricultural and menu-
facturing interests in opposition to each other, and
by holding forth a temptation to contraband trade, it
will be seen that Mr. Tyler clearly perceives the ne-
cessity of a more liberal tariff, and that the modifica-
tions of a law, which he confesses was hurried through
Congress, will, if his wish is carried out, be made in
the direction of free trade. The warehousing system,
which has for about a month past been advocated in
the American papers as a relief necessary under a pay-
ment of cash duties, and as a prevention against the
whole of the export trade falling into the hands of a
few wealthy capitalists, will, it is evident, find an ad-
vocate in the President. The Exchequer plan which is
proposed on this occasion for the reformation of the
currency is the one that was brought forward at the
beginning of last session, The choice lying, as Mr.
Tyler observes, between an exclusive specie currency
on the one hand, and Government issues on the other,
he selects issues made directly by Government agents,
and therein d' Viers from the 'sub-Treasury plan, by
which all currency but specie
was excluded. It is
useless to repeat here the description of a scheme
which was so long before the public, especially as it
will be brought forward in detail, and will be fully
discussed in the course of the present session.
The message of the Governor of Virginia, which
is given in the papers of the present arrival, contains
a review of the participation of this State in the
course which produced the present financial difficul-
ties. A mania in favour of public works, without
due reflection on the means of paying for them, created
the debt.

The message of the Governor of North Carolina
shows that that State, which has hitherto been free
from debt, has " loaned" its credit to two railroads,
to the amount of 1,050,000 dollars, and has subscribed
600,000 dollars to the stock of one of them, the inte-
rest on the bonds being paid by the roads if they can
earn sufficient. From the proceeds of the public lands
he expects 22,917 dollars.
From the message of the Governor of Missouri it
appears that the receipts for the two years ending
September 30, 1842, were 266,518 dollars, exceeding
by a small balance the disbursements, which were
only 233,930 dollars. Here the distribution of lands
is spoken of as an act of absurdity.
Recent accounts from Madrid, stated the particu-
lars of a proposition which was presented to the Spa-
nish Government by an agent of several. Spanish and
foreign houses, in which they ordered an advance of
1,560,0001. upon the produce of the mines of Almaden
during seven years, at the price of 65 dollars per quin-
tal of quicksilver.
A more extended proposition has since been made
to M. Calatrava by the same party, offering on cer-
tain terms to the Government to undertake the pay-
ment of five years' interest on the Three per Cent.
home and foreign stock already in circulation, and
also that which may be created for the capitalisation
of arrears of coupons for 1841, 1842, and first"divi-
dend of 1843, proposed to the Cortes.
These parties claim from the Spanish Government,
in payment for their advances, bills upon the revenues
of the colonies, payable from January, 1845, upwards;
an assignment upon the tobacco revenue of Spain from
January, 1844; and interest at 8 per cent. per annum
upon the amount of their advances.
As guarantee for this contract they require the.
creation of 5,000,0001. Bonds of the Three per Cents.,
which will be deposited in the Bank. These Bonds
cannot be put in circulation, except in the event of
the said parties claiming them, during the years 1843
and 1844, at the price of 35 per cent. In such case,
out of the payment of the 1,750,000/. of their value,
750,0001. in cash, to be invested in British Exchequer
Bills, to be deposited in London, especially applied to
the payment of five years' interest on the said
5,000,000/. created.
The contracting parties demandlikewise of the Go-
vernment that a proposition, having
Spanish nation may derive the benefit of competition ;
and they offer to guarantee the these objects in
view, may be submitted to public auction, that the
performance of this
contract on their part, if successful in such competi-
tion, to the satisfaction of the Government.
So much uncertainty has always attended opera-
tions of finance connected with the Spanish Govern-
ment, that it is not to be expected that any new one,
however
appearance, will materially raise
t
in
creditors. The offer above described
o e
splausibleo f
the
the hopes
is a proof only of the greater confidence entertained by
foreign capitalists in the present Government of
Spain, and until it has arrived at a much more ad-
vanced stage, it would be unsafe to draw any con-
clusions of a favourable nature from it.

ferred on Captain Richard Arthur, R.N., brother of
Sir George Arthur, a zealous political supporter of
Sir G. Cockburn (Chairman, if we mistake not, of Sir
George's election committee at
appointment, a naval good service pension of 1501. per
annum will be at the disposal of Lord Haddington,
which will, we trust, be bestowed on some officer of
really distinguished service, and not as a payment for
political agency. Captain Richard Arthur (a Captain
of 1810) commanded the Vesuvius bomb at Copenha-
gen, and was posted from the Cherokee for a gallant.
and successful attack on seven privateers under the
batteries of Dieppe in 1810. He has, however, been
fully employed, and, besides the C. 8., has had a good
service pension bestowed upon him. He is an excel-
lent officer, and our Sole objection to his appointment
is, a desire to see a more equal division of the very
few good things which the Board of Admiralty have,
in these piping times of peace, to give away.—United
