tits not little singular, that while all
our late accounts from England represeu,
that country as almost ON the eve of ia
mine, provisions, etc. are exported from
ireland to this country. A ship is daily
expectedeat this port from Ireland, with .
full cargo of potatoes, pork, etc. {!
The apPrehended scarcity in England,
it is presumed, can experience little re.
liet ire@ supplies from this country, with.
Out dslns injury to ourselves. The crops
OF all descriptions Sf grain have failed to
an astonishing degree and should the
foreign demand be pressing, the copse-
will be an exorsitant advance on
the CHEF staples of life. OF Indian corn
the produce is Very diminutive.

MIR. Doddridge, though ne thought il
obvious that the law applied not to those
who received, but issued the note, was
willing to grant the leave.
Mr.. Mercer was willing to suspend the
section till the Sd January, because ne
understood it to be the object OF the
bank committee not to suspend that law
after the 18th Dec, unless the banks
wsuld pay cut small change on the Sd
of January and besides, as he understood
the banks meant to do SO by that day.
Mr.. Lane opposed it, because he tho!t1
The law affected only those who Issued
new paper and there was enough Of the
old to serve for circulation.
Mr.. Chambarlayne had heard that the
corporation of Richmond meant to issue
$4,000 of new paper. He expatiated
on the frauds which this small change
had introduced, and was opposed 10 the
leave.
MIR Robertson did not know where the
gentlemen obtained his information, but
he was authorized by member of the
common hall to say. that they intended
to issue new bills. If this small medium
were altogether suppressed, it might be
difficult to Get a letter from the post-ofice
or any article at market.
MrSsott wished to know, il the corpo-
ratian Of Richmond had redeemed any of
their bills ?
MIR Robertson said that though per-
haps like some persons, they might not be
able to redeem them at this moment, they
would be ready to do it hereafter.
Mr. Scott contended. that as they had
received Virginia notes in exchange for
these bills, they ought to have been ready
to redeem them with Virginia money!
Mr. TazeweIl was for reference on
every ground. If the law be ambiguous,
and two gentlemen of the bar had put;
different constructions on it, it ought to!
be explained (: if frauds had been commit
