under accepances, on that account only. to the
amount of 100000. 1t is, therefore, much to be
apprehended, that great inconvenience will be ex
perienced in Edinburgh on count Of this failure.

discounted ty the Scotch batks They have also
large transactions bills with other parts of the
kingdom, and we are eredlby informed, that the
