81 ultimo, to which date the Editois OF 'he
Mercantile Advertiser have received the pa
pers of that city, and Louaon papers OF the
Pad June
We learn from passenger, that the news
carried out by the ship Roscoe, had caused
the Directors Of the Bank of England TO re-

gloomy appearance, and little or 10 demand

The Oxford was detained from the LIST to the

had done, or would do-and after protacted
session OF several days, the Directors refused
granting any further relief to the American

In consequence of the Banks declng OF
aid the American houses, two OF tIiem have

Of the storm will be upon the American Bank

and, colaterallv, upon The Manufacturing Dis
