A writerin this mornings s. American"
has furnished the public with some judi
cious observations on the injury which is
likely be sustained by the shipment OF a
million OF dollars in specie to France
this sum, it being computed, is to be sent
out in the frigate Constitution, capt. Hull.
He properly argues that million Of dol
lars taken from circulation will compel
the banks to curtail their discounts, in
these trying times; and, that the govern
melt Inig hl have purchased bills in GER
tain way, at less expense than they can
transmit the money. What is most to be
deplored however, is, the evidence ofsub-
mission which this expectation affords, or
seems to afford. Why transmit specie to
France, while the emperor perfdiously
retains millions of American funds in his
Golfers The same abject spirit which
submitted first to England, now covers
to France. In this way we account for
it; but are ready to change this opinion,
when stronger testimony appears against
it than for it. Perhaps the dispatches
from France ~ the Essex contain assur-
ances which warrant the confidence OF

The New-York Public Advertiser un-
der the head Of i" Rumors," contains a
long article from which we make the fol-
lowing summary. If public report and
public suspicion are to be relied on, the
state of parties in this country will soon
present singular and unprecedented
spectacle. The aristocracy of Mary land
and New York, are said to have already
forgotten the little chickering's that for
season disturbed them, and have agreed
to unite heart and hand in the laudabIe
pursuit Of family ACKNOWLEDGMENT. GBy

er of the army letters Armstrong we
presumed is to add the weight of his
lame, his influence, and his talents at
producing uproar, to this precious confe-
deracy.
i" The address of Robert Smith, alrea-
dy published, is but the commencement of
paper cannonade, on which the coali-
ton found much of their hopes. This is
soon to be followed bya pamphlet from
the army letter writer.
The principal Offices Of state, rumor
disposes of as follows: The presidency of
the United States is to be conferred on
general Armstrong. The present long
train of Offices annexed to the name of De
Hit Clinton is to be increased by the adj

to be prevailed upon to resign but if that
cannot be effected it is intended to push
the project through notwithstanding and
