DUTCH STATES-GENERAL.

Ike hear very little of the proceedings of this Le-
gislative 1304, and therefore its general temper and
tat, tits are in a great measure unknown. The fol.
lowing discussion, however, which we have extracted
from a attch Paper, will shew that some of its Mem-
bers are anxious to give greater publicity to their
debates :

SECOND CHAMBER OF THE STATES-GENERAL.
SITTING or Tilt 4TH jAN. AT Tilt HAGUZ.
" The Assembly having met, the RepDa of the Central &e-
Men was read, relative to the mode in which the Minutes should
in &tare be drawn tip ; and whether the delivered opinions of
the Members should be inserted in them In whole, or by way of
anal) sis. The Report rt commended, on the ground of the Sib
Article of the Standing Orders, that no speech cf the Members
should be Inserted in the Minutes, with the exception of leading
or incidental expositions.
" This report gave rise to i warm debate: Mr. Pycke, from
Bast Flanders, delivered a long speech against it, in which. on
the ground of Article !OR of tke Constitutional Cede. enacting
the publicity of the discussions in the second Chamber of the
States General, he contended, that there was no sufficient publi-
city given to the del berations of the Assembly; that tbe West-
lions of the Legislature in the above Article could hardly have
been that this publicity should remain confined to some dozen of
petsons,who daily attended in the galleries from the Hague or
Brussels; and that the public as well as the deputed States, by
knowing the persons who most promoted the interests of the coon-
try,would know in future how to regulate their elections fur the
States-General. He replied to the objections urged In the Commit-
tee, founded on the slowness which it would cause to their mode
at proceeding, and of the time it would cost the Secretary and
the Metsbers generally, Sm. remarking that the time of the
11/embers avoid not be better spent than if. by naiads. a part
of It, they promoted the interests of the kingdom.
" Mr. Gondebieu, from Haloault, spoke in opposition, coo-
wading that the meetings of the Chamber being public, every
person who chose might hear and report their discussion% and
that fur this reason, the admit* of proceedings ought not to con-
tain the dehb..rations.

44 Af-er some farther debate, the question was put to the votes
end Mr. Pycke's mmiun was negatived by 64 voices to 23.

tion, whe her the miatutei might at Wass contain an abstract of

ANNUAL TREASURY REPORT—ConcLuntn.
Vpon these grounds. then, the Secretary of the
Treasury respectfully submits the following

PROPOSITION.
That in the year 1817, and annually in every
subsequent near, there be appropriated the sum of
two millions dollars, in addition to the sum of eight
millions of dollars now annually appropriated for the
p.iyment et the interest and principal of the public
debt; that the payment of this additional sum be
made out of the proceeds of the revenue derived from
the 'customs, the sales of public lands, and the internal
duties, or from either of them, available after the pay-
ment of the sums for which they are now respectively
pledged or appropriated ; and that the said additio-
nal sum of two millions of dollars annually be pay-
able to the Commis3ioncrs of the Sinking Fund, to
be applied lirthem in the same manner al the mo-
nks which t4ey arc now entitled by law to receive ;
that is to say, Ist, To the payment of the'interest on
the public funded debt; 2d, To the reimbursement
of the principal, from time to time.. as 4be raa*e. of
any portion of it shall become reimbursible, accord-
ing to the terms of the contract by which it has been
created ; 3dly, After having answered these purposes,
if there shall remain a surplus at their disposal, to the
purchase of such parts of the funded public debt as shall
appear to them to be most for the advantage of the
United States, in the manner prescribed by law, and
at a rate not exceeding the par .value.
SOLY—PROPOSITION tiALATIVE TO TUN NATIONAL. CIR..

CULATING MEDIUM.
The delicacy of this subject is only equalled by its
importance. In presenting it therefore to the consi.
deratioh of Congress, there is occasion for an implicit
reliance upon the legislative indulgence.
By the Constitution of the United States, Congress
is expressly vested with the power to coin money, to
regulate the value of the domestic and foreign coins
in circulation, and (as a necessary implication from
positive piovisions) to emit bills of credit ; while it is
declared by the same instrument, that " so State
shall coin money, or emit.bills of credit."
Under this constitutional authority, the money of
the United States has been established by law, con-
sisting of coins made with gold, silver, and copper.
All foreign gold and silver coins, at specified rates,
were placed in the first instance, upon the same foot.
ing With the coins of the United States; but they
ceased (with the exception of Spanish milled dollars,
and parts of such dollars) to be a leg-0,1 tender for the
paymest of debts aad damaada in the yew 1609.

The eonstitutitnAl authotity to emit bills c f Nat
has also been exercised in a qualified and limited
I.manner. During the existence of the Bank of the
United States, the bills or notes of the Corporation
were declared, by law, to be receivable in all pay-
ments to the United States : .and the Treasury notes
which have been since issued for the services of the
late war have been endowed with the same quality.
But Congreu has never recognised by law the notes
of any other corporation t nor has it ever authorised
an issue of bills of credit to serve as a legal currency.
The acceptance of the notes of books which arc not
established by the federal authority, in payments to
the United States, has been properly left to the vigi-
lance and discretion of the executive department;
while the circulation of the treasury notes employed
either to borrow money or to discharge debts, de-
pends entirely, as it ought to depend, upon the option
of the lenders and creditors to receive them.

The constitutional and legal foundation of the ma-
netary system of the United States is thus distinctly
seen, and the power of the Federal Government to
institute and regulate it, whether the circulating me-
' dium consists of coin or of bills of credit, must in its
general policy, as well as the terms of its investment,
be deemed an exclusive power.
It is true, that a system depending upon the agency
of the precious metals, will be of by the various
circumstances which diminish their quantity, or de-
teriorate their quality. The coin of a State some-
times vanishes under the influence of political alarms;
sometimes in consequence of the explosion of mer-
cantile speculations, and sometimes by the drain of
an unfavourable course of trade; but whenever the
emergency occurs that demands a change of system,
it seems necessarily to follow, that the authority
which waa alone competent to establish the national
coin, is alone competent to create a national substitute.
It has happened, however, that the coin of the United
States has ceased to be the circulating medium of ex-
change, and that no substitute has hitherto been pro-
vided by the national authority.
During the last year, the principal banks esta-
blished south and west of New gaglAnd resolved that
they would no longer :ssqC ;oho in payment of their
notes or of the drafts of their customers, for money
received upon deposit. In this act the Government
of the Mined States had nn participation; and yet
the immediate effect of the act was to supersede the
only legal currency of the nation. By this act, al-
though no State can constitutionally emit bills of
credit, Corporations erected by the several States
have been enabled to circulate a paper medium, sub-
ject to many of the practical inconveniences of the pro-
hibited bills of credit.

•lt is not intended, upon this occasion, to condemn
generally the suspension of specie payments—for ap.
pearonccs indicated an approaching .crisis, which
wnn!d probably have imposed it as a measure of ne-
cessity, if it had not been adopted as a measure of
prvcaution. But the danger which originally induced
and perhaps justified the conduct of the banks, has
passed away, and the continuance of the suspension
of specie payments must be ascribed to a new series
of causes.

Toe public credit and resources are no longer im-
paired by the doubts and agitations excited during
the war, by the practices of the enemy, or by the in-
roads of an illicit commerce : yet the resumption of
1 specie payments is still prevented, either by the re-
duced state of the nmion 11 stock of the precious me.
Ws, or by the apprehension of a further reduction to
meet the balances of a foreign trade, or by the redun-
-11 dant issuts of bank paper. The probable direction
1 and duration of the latter causes constitute, therefore,
the existing subject for deliberation. While they
continue to operate singly or comhined, the authority
of the States individually, or the agents of the State
institutions, cannot afford a remedy commensurate
with the evil; and a recurrence to the national an-
thority is iadtspensable for the restoration of a natio-
nal currency.
In the selection of the means for the accomplish-
r.,ent of this important object, it may be asked-Ist.
Whether it be practicable to renew the circulation of
the gold and silver coins ? 2dly. Whether the State
1 Banks can be successfully employed to furnish an
uniform currency ? Sdly. Whether a National Bank
can be employed more advantageously than the State
Banks, for the same purpose ? And, 4thly, Whe-
ther the Government can itself supply and maintain
a paper medium of exchange, of permanent and uni-
form fable' throughout the Unite.l States ?
lst. As the United States do not possess mines of
gold or silver, the supplies ot those metals must, in
a time of scarcity, be derived Irons foreign com-
merce. If the balance of foreign commerce be un-
favourable, the supply will not be obtained inciden-
tally, as in the case of the returns for a -surplus of
American exports, but must be the object of a direct
purchase. The purchase of bullion is, however, a
common operation of commerce ; and depends, like
other operations, upon the inducements to import the
article. The induceMents to import bullion arise,
as in other cases, from its being cheap abroad, or
from itsbeing.tdar g home.* Notwithstanding the
commissions in South America, as well at in Europe,
there is no reason to believe that the quantity of the
precious metals is now (more than at any former pu.
riod) insufficient for the demand throughout the
commercial and civilized world. - The price may be
higher in some countries than in others ; and it may
be different in the same country at different times;
but, generally, the European stock of gold and sil-
ver has been abundant, even daring the protracted
war which bas of the nations of Europe.
The purchase of bullion, is foreign markets, upon
reasonable terms, is then deemed practicable ; nor
can its importation into the IJnited Stares fail even-
tually to be profitable. The actual ;nice ot the gold
and silver in the American market would in itsett af-
ford for some time an ample premium ; although the
fall in the price must of course be proportionable to
the increase of the quantity. But it is within the
scope of a wise policy, to create additional demands
for coin, and in that way to multiply the induce-
ments to import and retain the metah of which it is
composed. For instance, the excessive issue of bank
paper has usurped the place of the national money ;
and under such circumstances gold and silver will
always be treated as an article ot rnerchandize ; but
it is hoped that the issue of 'bank pap* will soon be
reduced, to its just share in the circulating medium Of
the country; and consequently that the coin of the
United States will resume its legitimate capacity and
character.
