fir o'Clock in the Evening.
The run on the Bank had much diminished prior
o its closing at three thougho'cloctk,fois.,oldthe , tTashreeßaunrl;
did not issue any silver, they
notes, which they had in their posseSsion, at the
market price of I'7 per cent. discotint. Numbers of
persons bought it at that price, mid they hurried to
the money=changers to obtain silver for it. This.
occasioned a fall in the price of the Treasury notes,
which fluctuated at different shops at from 17 to
20, thereby causing Ulan of at least One per cent.
in 'the Bank notes. Groups of. people have been
assembled in all quarters talking together, each de-
livering their sentiments as to this unexpected event.
Some persons state, that the Bank' has, for some
time past, been in great want of silver, and orders
had been sent from the Government to the different
receiving-offices, not to send their specie to the
Treasury, but directly to the Bank. Every one
throws blame on the Direction, whose ignorance or
mismanagement has exposed the country to a com-
mercial crisis, for they assert that there is a suffi-
ciency of specie in the country to answer every
emergency.that

I have heard of no sales at thaerate, but I saw one
man, I believe a goldsmith, purchase a quantity of
old gold from the Bank, for their own notes. The
Bank has considerable funds, and a large quantity of
gold in old pieces of John V., and also in ingots,
for which the silver coin, either as a loan or a sale,
could soon be procured ; but the DirectiOn has pre-
ferred exposing their credit •to a dangerous shock,
and the commerce of their native country to n con-
vulsion, rather than- make any effort to support both.
Saturday Afternoon.
The Government appears to haVe been alarmed
too at the.acts of the Bank Direction, and they have
issued a Decree, which, though useful .in itself, is
ridiculous enough to remind one of the clamour of an
old woman who threatens the boys after they had
stolen and run away with her apples. But, to un-
derstand tits Decree, I shall give it to you fully' in a
translatioms.;lt is addressed to the Magistrates of the
different districts sofLisbon.
