1--WE learn from Washington that The OBJ,
ject Of Mr.. Bddles visit TO that city, was to
induce the Commissioners of the Sinking
Fund to defer paying 81 ,o00, 900 of the 8
per cents from LIST July to the LIST of Octo
Der next The Secretary of the Treasury
addressed letter to Mr. Biddle, informing
him that it was his intention to give notice
on the LIST of April OF the intended payment
on the list of July, and enquiring whether
he knew Of any objections to his so doing.
To this Mr.. Bidde replied certainly not, so
far as the Bank was concerned; because If
that amount Of money should be paid to the
Government, it was merely necessary for the
Bank to retain il in possession and abstain
from disconnting on it. But he proceeded
to say, that about two thirds Of this seven
millions of dollars is owned in Europe, and
that in consequence, an export of nearly
S. ,000, 900 Of specie would be required-
that the pressure at this time upon the mo
ney market is as great as can well be sus-
tanned, and that the withdrawal OF seven
millions Of dollars from circulation, would in
all probability be the cause of many failures,
and consequently the non-payment of many
Of the Bonds to Government securing the
duties out Of which this payment of seven
millions Of dollars is TO be made
"These views it is said were also mention
ed to Mess-s Adams, M'Duffie, Cambre
leng and johnson, then in Philadelphia. and
they urged the propriety of Mr.. Biddle's vi
sitting Washington, and laying his opinions
personally, before the Secretary Of the
Treasury and Commissioners of the Sinking
Fund re we mistake not, they also addres
sed letters to the Commissioners, to the Sc
cretary. to the President, and others, recon-
mending that the 81 .000, 600 should not be
paid till October The question was very
properly considered one Of great magnitude,
and all concurred in the view of the subject
taken by Mr. Biddle. but the Commission
ers Of the Sinking Fund did not feel author

which would be the consequence of defer
ring the payment till October, although GER
tain OF the benefits which the exercise OF
such discretion would confer upon the com
mercial community. Under these circum-
stances, Mr. Biddle proposed that the Bank
of the United States should pay the int
rest, amounting to $50 500
"This proposition was of course accepted,
and by this prudent yet liberal conduct o.
the Bank, our merchants have been protect
ed from the operation of measure which
must inevitably have crushed many of them,
and given blow to our commercial prospe
rty from which it would not have required
much time to recover"
