New ork correspondent Of the National
lntelIigencer of July IL, savs:- ID.
The suspension Of specie payments by

liverpool packet that sailed after that

our debt to England Since that time
large specie remittances have been made
by almost every packet-remittances too,
which could not, and would not have been
made when the banks redeemed their
notes in specie.
