THE BANKS AGAIN.


We have seen, in one or two paners,
paragraphs tending to alarm the pubic
mind, as to the effect of the late determl-
nation Of the local banks in tins state IL
is to be hoped, however, that on tins ocea-
sion the community will exercise is usual
solid judgement Our banks have made
no determination to refuse paying lnsPe-
Gle. nor wilthe refuse, but to those wac
have established business OF drawing II
from their vaults, and that for the purpose
too of having it exported TO India. In
all usual transactions they will pay with
cheerfulncss and alacrity. They are able
and willing to adjust all balances WIN o.
Their banks, and with honest dealers. A
peculiar state Of financial concerns has
forced on the banks measure, very DIS.
agreeable TO be sure, but, in their minds,
the lesser of two evils. They do TINS too
with all confidence that it cannot scarcely
even for moment affect their reputation.
Their solidity is too well established and
believed in and they cannot but remeIn-
Der period 10 which they refused specie
to every applicant, yet in which Their
notes were at large premiums as tar north
as Connecticut and Massachusetts,.
At Petersburg, where it is said (by their
papers, the measure alluded TO viii pro-
duce serious embarrasments,w we think there
has been very unnecessary excitement ;
there ought not to have been any thing
like alarm; for all the trading people in
that town, know too we'll on what ground we
stand. IF their banks refuse TO take Our
paper in payment other debts, 1t is u''-
questionaby with view OF getting in
their own paper, to shield their own spe-
Gle, or, as we have understood they have
been in the habit OF doing, of employing
agents to buy up our paper at discount,
after discreIiing it by refusal toreceive
it, and then selling it at a profit TO tro-
kers. We annually see the public report
of the resources of the Virginia banks.
made to their legis lature, and, will only
remark that, ii our banks were not on at
least as good foundation as theirs, We
should think there was cause OF alarm.

phet's tomb at Mecca, and a still greater
undertaking in exploring the interior OF

busy rumor says this dor, with all his learn

only that he leans favorably towards these
Spanish Algerines. but whispers extend
farther--which you will understand, Tor
my own part, should be sorry toglve
full credit TO these reports but the IN
habitants openly assert, that i:he becomes

greatest inducements TO new adventures

With what pair my dear sir. did yes
terday receive aletter from my friend 3,
at Gibraltar, telling me to cease my up
b:aidngs of tie Spanish authorities, Tor
that in yoar city, the proceedings were
quite as bad as they could possibly be in
Algesiras: and that privateers are lifted
and ref,ted to crui7e under the flag OF the
insu,gent provinces of the south, against
nations in amity with the United Siates!!
Oh. shame, shame, my countrymen how
dreadful will these things operate against
me. when disclosed here and how little
credit do they reflect upon the American
character! All my hopes now are, that
Juiz may succeed the deceased, OF impar-
tial honesty, and who will not permit JUS
tice to be longer withheld but, If a CON
trary character ascends the bench, shall
abandon all, and return to you immedi-
ately.

BANKS OF NORTH CAROLINA.

We observe thnt some Misrepresentation
exists as to the determination OF the banks
Of this state respecting specie payments.
They have not the smallest design TO re-
fuse prompt pay to the holders OF their
notes. They only mean 10 guard their
vaults against the inroads of speculation.
In doing this they believe they will re-
ceive the counter tnce and appreciation OF
the community; [.NinerpG.

The following article reached US, by yes

that there is no cause for alarm to the friends
Of peace IN this country, from the transfer
of handful of British troops TO the Ca

transported across the Atlantic to be out of

Upper Capaua. The British government
may have divers motives for this disposi-
tion oil its forces, without the least reference
to the existing relations between that go

Five seamen by the names OF James Key.
ser, Andrew Murray, William Stout, James
Purr, and Thomas Purley, have been ar
rested and brought before his honor Judge
Peters, on an examination previous TO COM
mitment, for the crime of piracy. These
men have been charged by A j. Spencer,
a Portuguese subject boa,swain OF the For
tuna. which vessel sailed from Havana last
February, laden with sugar, coffee, tobac-
CO, mahogany, and logwood, and bound TO
Cadiz.
On the 10th of April last, off Cape St.
Vincent, this vessel was taken by the Priva-
teer Julia de Forest Capt. Wilson, said to
have been lifted out from Baltimore, with a
Buenos Ayres commission. She was brought
to the CapeS of Delaware, ard one of the
crew was sent to Philadelphia, for the pur-
pose of procuring another vessel to return
to the Fortuna and the plan was to traGshIp
her cargo on board the vessel so procured,

Whilst of the cape last Friday, the Pilot
came on board the Fortuna, when Mr..
Spencer privately gave this information TO
him, he steered the vessel into the Della
ware, and whilst some of her men were on
shore. who had taken The person there, to
procure new vessel, the Pilot took charge
of the Fortuna, and brought her TO the
city.
As this case will involve the lives OF the
prisoners, we do not think t proper at this

will take place at next October Session of

AN INDIAN WAR BREWING.

A letter from a gentleman at Belle Point
on the Arkansaw, to another in this city,
says, that the Cherokee and Usage Indians
are on the eve of another war. That the
Cherokees are the aggTessors, il is said,
there is do doubt. They had, within few
days, stolen forty horses from the Osages !;
and, in taking them home, they killed tour
men, and wounded several more. This
mode OF procedure is looked upon by the
Usage nation as war measure. and Justly.
There are number of the more northern
Indians who are urging the Osages to war,
and offer them assistance. &c. 1t is said
that Maj. Bradford, OF the rifle regiment,
who commands at Fort Smith, sentword to
them, if there was war to be carried on,
he must have hand in it, and that they
must aud should suspend hostillties until
they heard from him. He was to hold a
Council with them in few days.
