Correspondence Of the National tntelligencer.
New YORK, June 3.
The newspapers, ere this, will have
given you the foreign news in detail.
1t is very good-then SO so, and then
very bad. The good is the unexpected
avidity with which Mr.. Biddle's bonds
are sought for in England. Think of
this, gentlemen Of the Administration
the great commercial emporium of
the world paying the highest tribute
of eager confidence to an institution
which "the Government, denoun-
ces as. bankrupt" ''rotten,' and good
for nothing at all. The acceptance of
these bonds has postponed to the next
crop no small portion Of our foreign
debt, and SO far is great relief. The
so so news consists Of the signs Of riot
in Manchester, and the reconstruction
of the Political Union in Birmingham.
| don't like the look of these things.
They indicate a run upon the Savings
Banks, then rush of the consols into
market, and then a run upon the Bank
of England. The bad news is the null
tiplicity ofbills which have come back,
which will be melancholy tidings to
our Southern friends. Stocks upon
this news, to-day, dumped up" and
''tumbled" down; U. S. Bank stock
feeling the electricity, and the other
stocks the gloom. The next packet will
show us the effect of the sad news we
sent out after the bonds were issued
The Globe will see from the tone of
the leading New York and New Eng
land Wing Presses that all are aware of
the importance ola National Bank, yet
no movement will be made in behalf
of one by the Northern statesmen.
When the People, and all the People
have seen the Globe party work out its
experiments to the very end, Nation
al Bank will come Of itself, and by the
call of nine-tenths Of the People Of the
United States. The Administration
may prepare to answer the question of
aohat, in time ofpeace-with no famine
no plague-has caused the extraor-
binary assembling of Congress; and
Uhat does it propose to do? If the
Wings are wise, they will sit still, and
see what the sages propose to dc.

apprehension, however, on the subject either
IN respect TO the safety Of the money, or the
faithful discharge Of these fiscal transactions,
may, IT appears to me, be etfectually removed
by adding to the present means of the Trea-
sury the establishment by law, ut few i'm
portant points, of Offices for the deposte and
disbursement Of such portions of the public
revenue as cannot, with obvious safety and
convenience, be left in the possession of the
collecting officers until paid over by them to
the public creditors. Neither the amounts
retained in their hands, nor those deposited
in the offices, would, in an ordinary condition
OF the revenue, be larger, in most cases, than
those often under tho control Of disbursing
officers of the army and navy, and might be
made entirely safe, BY requiring such sccuri-
ties, and exercising such controlling super
vision, as Congress may by law prescribe
The principal officers whose appointment
would become necessary under this plan,
taking the largest number suggested by the
Secretary Of the Treasury, would not exceed
ten; nor the additional expenses, at the same
estimate, sixty thousand dollars year.
There can be no doubt of the obligation OF
those who are entrusted with the affairs of
Government, to conduct them with as little
cost to the nation as is consistent with the
public interest and it is for Congress, and
ultimately for the people, to decide whether
the benefits to be derived from keeping our
fiscal concerns apart, and severing the con-
nection which has hitherto existed between
the Government and banks, offer sufficient
advantages to justify the necessary exPences.
II the object to be accomplished isdeemed
important to the future welfare ofthe country,
] cannot nlow myself TO believe that the ad-
dition to the public expenditure of compari-
lively so small an amount as will be neces.
sary to effect it, will be objected to by the
people.
1t will be seen by the report of the Post.
master General, herewith communicated, that
the fiscal affairs Of that department have
been successfully conducted since May last
upon the principle of dealing only in the
legul currency OF the United States, and that
it needs no legislation to maintain its credit,
and facilitate the management off concerns;
the existing laws being, in the opinion Of
that officer, ample for those objects.
Difficulties will doubtless be encountered
for season, and increased services required
from the public functionaries; such are usually
incident to the commencement Of every sys.

character Of that discretion which the

Our readers will have perceived, before
this sheet reaches them, that the sentiments
of President Van Burcn. in relation to the
establishment of Sub Treasures, are in direct
opposition to what we have conceived to be
the views of large maj"ri,y of his POLITICAL
friends. While we adm, that the arguments
he advances in support Of the proposition are
able and ingenious, they have failed to re-
move in our minds the serious objections
which have been heretofore urged against
the system, and which we contend arc irrefu-
table in their nature-cspecialy as to its
adoption at the present crisis.
That our sentiments on this, as on sll other
subjects will he frankly promulgated, our
readers need not be informed, but we trust
that the discussion Of this important subject,
will be conducted in that spirit of calmness
and moderation which while it is favorable to
the asceTtainment truth, and the refutation
of error will not tend to produce irritatiom
and ill-will. -
The crisis demands firmness without
asperty and while we trust we are not de-
ficient in the one, we shall not willingly pro-
woke the other.
