The POSTSCRIPT, head ofour last inform

banks of y. York, Philadelphia, Baltimore
and Virginia, had come to resolution
TO resume specie payments on The both

and balances struck--these Balances to
J.0rintereH.
In sixty days from The 10th inst. the Il.
s. Bank is TO discount 10 the amount of
$4,000, 900, at n. York 1000, 900. at
Philadelphia 100000, at Baltimore !:

The T.. Bank, and the State Banks,
who are parties 10 this arrangement, are
TO support each oilleragainst any pressure
which may threaten them.
The United States Bank is 10 receive
in payment of what may be due to it by
one OF these banks. checks upon others
who are parties TO this Convention.
These, and the other arrangements.
which have been agreed 10, are to be sub.

TO the State Banks for their appreciation.
The determination of the State Banks
is TO b. made known TO Mr.. Wlialn. Of
Philadelphia, Chairman of the Standinr
Committee, who is TO notify tie public
whether sufficient number of the State
Banks have acceded to the arrangement.
to justifyta resumption of the specie pay
ments onihe 10th instant.
We ccnfesswe did not expect the banks
would pay specie OH the 23ih-but they
know their own situation best, and we
have no doubt will consult their own in
terests-our only fear is, as TO some of the
banks who are notparticS to dis Conven-
ton. We hope atleast the public will
trea; such oftbem as are honestly dis
posed TO comply with their engagements,
as gently as possible-in which case,
they will stand the brunt. The great
doubt Is, whether it was best for the
parties TO the Convention to begin little
sooner, and leave some others exposed TO
the shock-orgiveall more time TO prepare,
and all to pay up OH the lst of July
Whether, as ii was by simultaneous move
