dated June 81. {
Nv Lord-You have just added great
ness to your name by new victories gam
| ed over Frenchmen. lsltby you, there,
fore. shat the French are best known and
lannreciated. You will vote for their
rights in the midst of the powers of Eu-
irope. IS
La that council of sovereigns your
lcredit and influence must be as great as
your glory.
/ The VOWS of nations, who neither ca
illuminate nor flat'er have declared your
character. In all your conquests, your
law of nations has been justice, and your
policy has appeared to be the voice Of
your conscience.
You will find the demands. which we
make through our pienipotentiaries, con-
formed to the most rigorous justice.
| The French nation wishes to live un-
der monarch. She also wishes, that
this monarch should govern the empire OF
the laws
The republic has taught us. now fatal
are the excuses Of liberty the empire:
show fatal is the excess of power. Our
desire. and it is interchangeable, is to see
the independence. the order and the
peace of Earope placed at an equal dis
Itance from both these eycesses.
Every one in France looks to the con-
stitution of England we do not pretend
to be more free than she is Z; we will ne
yer consent to be less so.
The representatives of the French
people are forming social compact
The powers will be distinct, but not d.
vided. 1t is from their very separation,
that their harmony is expected to a
rise.
AS soon as this instrument shall have
received the signature of the sovereign,
who shall be called to govern France,
Tat sovereign will receive the sceptre
and the crown from the hands OF the
lnation.
In the present state of knowledge in
Europe, among the greatest misiortuaes
|of mankind are the divisions between
France and England; let us unite for the
happiness of the wor~l.
My Lord, no man at this moment, can
so effectuaHy as yourself, contribute to
the Improvement of the nature and con-
|dition of the human race.
pray your Lordship to accept the as
surance of my highest consideration.

Improperly employed, 81 600 regular troops were
certainly adequate to oppose any force Great Brit
ain, in those years, employed against the United
States-31 900 men, according TO the estimates Of
the War and Treasury Departments, should not
have cost more than IL millions year, or twenty
four millions in the two years whereas the land
forces did cost as millions and more, in the waste

Note, diso.... Vhen it is considered that the u.

such violent measures. SCI.

SCHEDULE {E.)
Though the operations Of the war in 1881 and
1852 were great especially in the Southern States,
yet it cost America far less than fifteen millions
year, as will appear by The public documents. In
1889 Congress made an estimate for an army Of
25 900 men. This estimate, which proved 10 be
correct, was ittle over eight millions Of dollars.
The individual States, expences will be found not
to have exceeded four millions year, and Navy
expenses were triaing. In 1881 the expences were
about three millions more than in 1782.--Prices
were about the same then as now.

Very recently, sir, this government refu
scd TO extend the charter OF the bank Of the
u. States, uponthe ground that it was un-
constitutional for congress - creete banks
Many Of the state banks owe their existence
TO this decision. 1t was an invitation 10 the
states to incorporate as much banking capi-
tai, as would answer an the purposes Of the
country. notwithstanding whatever we may
now see and hear, it would then have been
deemed gross iu1pu,alion on the consisten
cy Of government if any man had expressed
an expectation, that in FIVE years all hese
constitutional scruples would be forgotten,
all the danger 10 political liberty from
monied institutions disregarded, and bank
proposed upon the most extraordinary
principles, with all unprecedented amount
Of capita1, and with no obligation to tuI6i its
contracts
The state banks have not forced them
selves in the way Of government They
We're established, many Of them, at least
when government had drclared.its purpose
to haveno bank Of lis own. They deserve
some regard on their own account, and on
account Of those particularly concerned in
them, But they deserve much more CON

their paper which is in circulation, and the

present condition of the banks is principally
owing TO their advances 10 government,
The treasury has borrowed Of the banks, or
Of those who themselves borrowed of the
banks, till the banks have become as poor,
and almost as mucn discredited as the
treasury itself. they have depreoiated
their paper, nearly ruined themselves, and
brought the sorsst distress on the country,
by doing that on small scale, which this
new Bank is to perform on scale vastly
larger.
Il is almost objectionable in the conduc-
tors Of these institu ons not to have TO- eseen
the conss quences which lave resulted from
the course pursued bv them. Hey were
all plain and visible Iithey have any apol-
ogy, it is that they were no binder than the
government, and that they yielded 10 those,
who would take no denial. 1t will be alto
gether objectionable in us. II with this, as
we'll as all other experience before us, we
continue to pursue system which must
inevitably lead us through depreciation of
currency, paper money, tender laws, and al
the contemplate and miserable contaiyan

yency, to complete an entire bankruptcy in
