The distress experienced in Baltimore
from the want of money is believed to be as
great as at any former period in Philadel-
phla the pressure is still greater than in this
city.
A meeting of committees from the seve-
raj state Banks in Philadelphia, was held
on Friday eyening--at which it was propo-
sed, if the Bank the United States would
join with them, to relieve the merchants
from the present pressure, they would each
increase their discounts $4,000 dollars. We
have understood that the bank Of the United
States has not assented to this proposition.
Is it not probable, that similar proposition
here, might be more successful? FED. Gaz.

SPECIE PAYMENTS

Resumed by The bonks in Kentucky.
We have seen letter from highly re-
spectacle citizen Of Lexington, Kentucky,
stating that the hank Of Kentucky aud its
branches, had stopped specie payments on
the Goth Nov. and had resumed payments
in specie on the 25th. That the Farmers
and Mechanics bank Of Lexington, had at
no time refused specie payments, and de-
clared their ability 10 continue the same.
This good example we hope will be follow
ed by the banks in the state of Ohio.

Reported Conspiracy IN france.
Wa received letter from Paris this
day, and from another quarter corrob-
CITATION of iis truth. A dreadful Plot
las been discovered at Paris, and il has
been hin,ed, bur We cannot give any
credit TO that part of the falcment, that
even fome of the Royal Family afiaed
TO form and organize 1.-THE plot as
appears from the letter, was TO induce
the King to 60 10 F6nsainbleau, and there
co make him Abdicatc the Throne. The
Count d'Artois was then 10 be placed on
the vacant seat. All the Minihers were
60 be inprifonsd in the Cattle of VIM
cennes, except the Minifter of Police,
who was TO be Hanged Immediately. A
new Miniitry was nominated, and, as
another letter fays, "you may judge OF
Its competition from the coward Donna
dieu having been named as the Miniiter
at War."--lf our readers will refer 10
our Paris letter, inherited on Saturday,
they will fee that ID had been fent 10
Dion for the purpofe Of inspecting two
Swifs Regiments, but more probably OF
corrupsing them.--This Horrible Pho.
was discovered by M. Decafe, Minifter
Of Police, the intended victim. We
conlder as mott fortunate cireumitance
chat this plot was developed a. the pref
ent critical period, when the Allied Soye-
reigns are about TO decide on the expe
diency Of Withdrawing their troops from
France.
