this is new debt added to the English debt
Since this brilliant idea has been conceived,
it is probably hoped that this emission will
circulate at the eXpence of the Confedera
tion OF the Rhine, and even in France itself,
and particularly in Holland. in the Belgic,
and in the departments of the Rhine. This
treaty has not, however, been ratified since
the armistice. Russia pays her expences
with paper. which the Prussians are obliged
to receive Prussia pays her own expences
with paper; England has her paper also.
1t appears that aeither of these papers have
Suthceat credit singiy, since these three
powers are obliged to create it in company.
1t is tor merchants and bankers to inform
us it 1t requires the credit of three powers
to increase the credit of this new paper, or
ratherjf this credit ought to result from. it.
Sweden alone appears to have received mo-
ney from England to the amount of 1--WE or
six hundred Thousand pounds sterling.
