AMI the continent of Europe seems to be
similarly affected; it no doubt arises, in
part, from the agitation Of the question re.
garding the state of the currency OF this
country, and from the diminished discounts
of the Bank of England, and the country
banks but its origin may be traced, per-
haps in still greater degree to the check
which the spirit for over-trading is now
receiving, and to the restriction which the
mass of floating fictitious capital engender-
ed by it, is now undergoing in its circula-
tior. To whatever cause however, il may
be ascri5ed, it is certain that the scarcity
of money has seldom been more severely
and extensively felt !; the numerous fai-
lures. also, more particularly in London,
excite great distrust among commercial
men, and il is to be feared that before a
more wholesome state Of things is restored
much embarras ment and distress may yet
be experienced.
