After what has been said •n Bank notes, It is no
wonder that the different Mocks should be affected
by the rumours: for though the Batik is not answer•
able in one shilling fo► the debt of the nation, the
interest of which they pay for ■ per center, yet as
It has long been known that a criminal conimunica-
Won has been maintained between our oeret►icious
Ministers end the Lady of Threedneedle.street, and
the world not being sure that a divorce can take place
without ruin to both parties, people will naturally
pot a ►ad construction oo what is so earefelly bush-
ed up. If all had been right our Court Oracles
would have spoken, and our Gou would have
reported the good tidiegs. No wonder then that the
Fends have fallen so low, and that no endeavour ca•
raise them. They are jest as they were yesterday,
and it is a wonder that they are so. The whole
Nark et has rather a downward cut.

For it is to be observed that many confound the
Bask of England with the Government •f Eng-
land. It ought atot to be so, and w• say con.
found those who have contributed to make the
matter so understood. This idea, however, has had
he effect, and is manifesting itself at this moment.
Tin Stocks are gone down and so is the credit of
the Hank-note. This very day, a Mr. D—, a very
eminent Sturk.broker, could not induce a customer
of his from Hertfordshire to accept of a payment in
those notes, without receiving ono shilling in lb*
proud as a premium.

Advice. have been received from the Commander.
inaChief of lilt expedition against New Grenada,
dated the Ilth of January, from New Providence—
Ii appears that he was to I•ave Nesse, on the follow-
ill day, with Colonel O'H*a* and his personal staff.
They were Its rendrzvoes at Old Providence. It is
asserted that a part of his force most have, by this
time, been in the ocropatinn of Santa Martha, as
General lioatxxo bed withdrawn his troops from
she place, and the militia, it was espected, would
wake no resistance.

To rai. EDITOR or TME STATESMAN.

Stn,—A paragraph in the .Horning Chronicle of
this day, attributes the injury received by some Gen-
tlemen at the close of the Poll yesterday, to the in-
stigation of the ipeeches made by the Radical Re-
formers. It is eery natural that the authors of all
the outrages Ihat IMP disgraced the vitinity of Ce•
vstlf-eurdon daring the latter days of the Election,
should be eager to impute to their opponents a crime
originating solely with themselves. But it may be
useful to the close of troth to refer your Readers to
t►e following extract from the speech made be Mr.
iloatiouss, at the close of the Pell on Monday lest.
et
which lime the Committee for conducting the
Election of that Gentleman had received the certain
intelligence of a gag( of prizefighters and other
ridileat, having been hired by the friends of Mr.
LANs:—" Ile solemnly recommended to thew to
refraln.frons any breaches of the peace, and to leave
smelt acts to their opponents. Above all things, he
begged of them to be tranquil, and assured thew that
they should see justice done upon the afeadere who
now assail them." See Mr. Ilnenousr's speech in
the British Press for March 2, 1819. It may been.
cessery to add, that Mr. flontiouso's Committee are
in possession of the list of the above-inentioneJ rot.
6aos, divided into s►parate pugs, under respective
Captains, some of them hired to groan end hoot tier-
ing the speeches of Sir FRANCIS Buiturre end Mr.
II ostiousx ; the °theist° fight and battle the Electors
proceeding to the Pell for Mr. lloanovas, o►, in the
exact ;cords of the institutions given to the., 6' to
pwnch their bloody heads well."
It is ante►ie's to every Individual of the vest mul-
titude who were present yesterday in Covent-garden,
that Mr. I.Asra's bledgeewuren, a band distinguished
by their rags end rolls* lonia, commenced the ef-
figy in Henrietta-street. It is equally notorious that
the Bliss end Buff Gentlemen on horseback, armed
with stick., rode in span the defenceless crowd; and
that the indignatioo of the insulted end hitherto
peaceable People was not excited until repeated
acts of violence from the hired mob had touted t►em
in their own defence.
