The Island of Csrgatins, on which this vessel was
wrecked, is at present uninhabited. A small settle.
ment of 11 or 15 souls was established there, for the
parr's, of fishing ; but in the last tremendous her-

wards sustained some injury by touching the ground
when off Portsmouth, whii•h caused the effects of the
gale encountered on the 2241 of June to be felt the
more seriously. A letter has been received from
Captain i)slrymple, at the India-house, written at
the time he first deviated from the regulst track of
'the voyage, and explaining his moliies for so doing.
Ry greet gond fortune the vessel being bound to
China direct, carried out no passengers. No tidings
have been received of the situation of that part of the
officers and crew who remained on the island, but it
was believed that a sufficient stock of
,provisions sod
other materials necessary for their accommodation
had been saved from the wreck.

The ate rise in the Fiirols has bean ittribefed to
vartooft causes, one of which is the resumption of
Cash thy mertts by the iik of England, and,cberg-
ing a siignnrage of 10; per cent. on gold coio, that is
to say., by depreciating the coin to thatsalouut to
keep it its the country. Now, in out opinion, no
Parliament on earth can give a fictitious value to sty
uneiretesal medium ;
,and while we allow a temporary

possible by such e Measure, we are satis-
fied it wool) he temporary only, and that as soon

d.elf. Be this as it may, if such be the plan of Mi-
nisters, like Alexander, they are about to cut the
•koot width they cannot uniie, and in every national
and lasing sense most fruitlessly. The attempt to
give* fictitious value to coin, tenter answered in
any age, and still teas can it hope to succeed in the
presenti, and ',PR allow it the temporary effect,
which.' .11 that can be hoped for, what most ra-
pidly follow hut that coidfusioti with regard to
prices and relative value, which operates most in.
infinitely upon the eztreutes of filed property and
iaborioue earnings,--two points, which, although
apparently opposetti are its 'polity most ittlanatel
connected. Intact,. it is the double pert perintin•
el by our Nadiospai Delo, that must solve all these
idle,. To use the; Ixtrituage of algebra, it is at
once negative sad' initiative, plus and minus; it.
girded iii one 'ewe it is—ilebt 41.1.1,1+4er, it is co-
pilal;.---1141 debt of all, the capital
,at a part. Its
operation as a debt marl *people tali both
,feol and
untritamd, but its etfeet as capital is less apparent.
Isi its latter capacity, it has been thought all •bmiefit
—d-pur-ly good; hut directing certain Talcs and
flourishing intermediate results, such is not the case.
In the filet place, as. a mortgage upow landed pro.
perry and labour, it has a nataral. tendency to fore.
daosoce, *or whit is the same thing, I. the tildes of
all possible and bearable extents and that 'simply be-
cause human nature' is human nature; a fact, how-
veer.- which, as a necessary consequence, some peo-
ple may be disposed to deity. Be it so, it is sutfiri.
Pell for our argunteut that in Gre)t Britain, our debt
or capital, which you will, has apidroactied to the
limits of possible extent. Thus then it is; a 'certain
portion of the labour and inchitie of the Pimple being
mortgaged into assignable value, and added en real
'sloe, makes an anoitiot •of capital that requires •
quantity of circulating medium beyond the power
of the precious metals (as universal medium) to ye.
present. For awhile it it possible to get oveeite
iliifiteddly., by sentiment: that 1., by public opinion
'agreeing to regard certain pieces of paper as aria-
triode salve fOr the sake of •couvenience, be-
eattathefihey be changed for-seal valise at piaasese:
V- ry good; that is bath ingenious and beneficial, but
alas, debt in galls f: .apital increases to a degree
which puts all pril4;t f maintaining a proportion be-
tween commendable gold and the quantity of nee's-
.ary cudrency, out 14 the (petition. Hence it is
found both prudent and advisable to pass an Act of
Parliament to prevent payment in gold. Some peo-
ple have regarded this Act as a proof of the omnipo-
tence of Parliament; we differ its opinion. Hid
Pe filament, indeed, enacted the continuance of pay•
ment its gold, and beets obeyed, its power, both phy.
sisal and metaphysicid, would have been unimpeach-
able. Allowing this to pass, it is at all events cer-
tain, that the capital of the country thus artificially
increased, requires in &mama of currency, which it
is not only impossible to muster in gold and silver,
but even in any way which will allow gold and slitter
to perform a natural part. What then remain'
either a reduction' of currency to brill gold into
operation, or things resting as they are. 'The first,
while 800 millions of debt acts the part of capital,
and requires a correspondent circulating medium (if
' only to ply 60 millions of tsaes), we a-sort to be
wholly impossible, without the risk of a trading and
commercial, if not a national convulsion ; acid with
respect to the second, it only exchanges violent fever
for certain coosomption. Sir John Sinclair thinks
Batik paper the very happiest and most convenient
medium in the world, and is quite alarmed at the
folly of the talk of returning to cask payments ;
that is to ssy, Sir Joint Sinclair would put its the
power of a Gorntimeut or a Company to play the
conjuror with all sorts of property, by 'illicit%
prices et pleasure. o.her persons think forgery the
principal difficulty, and it has become, a dreadful
one; but let them be assoredi that what we believe to
be the real atisiete of Ministers to return to pay.
anent in specie, is founded upon feelings sod coti•
fictions of still deeper interest and magnitude. In
' fact, they clearly perceive that upon its restoration
depends the ultimate stability both of taxation and
debt ; to say nothing of foreign trade, which clear
and open as it soots will be, will pay no respect to
nominal value among ourselves. As to depreciation
of currency, or any quack expedient of that de-
scription, it may produce a temporary stimulur,
although we even doubt that; but it would do no-
thing more : the golden pound of eighteen
shillings
after awhile would es certejnly disappear as the so.
vereigo of twenty Shillings, and by disordering and
unsettling nominal value, produce infinite isconveni-
ence in the mean time. Coa nothing thereto's) be
done ?—Nothing palliative we firmly believe; alte-
ratives, strong alteratives, might probably effect
something; but if any one crin convince as to the
contrary of all this, as we detest croaking either at
a habit, or for its otto sake, if he will drips to do so,
we shall not only be obliged, but we hereby pledge
ourself to Acknowledge the obligation.
On Monday molt*, the Siith Anniversary of the
Auxiliary Bible Society of the 'Ordnance was held at
