Dear Sir-The state Of fiscal affairs has created no
little excitement in this city, The Collector, as well
as the Postmaster, has received orders to receive
specie only in payment for bonds and letters. Ac-
cordngy, the Postmaster gave notice that he should
not deliver letters heretofore payng in three
monihs) but that all letters must be paid on delivery
and IN coin, which, can assure y0u met with strong
and decided opposition by the citizens. The Collec-
tor also would take in payment Of bonds nothing but
the hard metal, and, sir, the consequence was, the
bonds were not paid Messrs. Greedy 4 Co. are
among the number who refused to pay in specie,

ton Of the resolutions but was decidt to choose
committee of twenty -four to remonstrate with the
Postmaster General, and to report on Saturday of
next week. Be assured sir that should not this order
be rescinded shall have trouble. There is among
the leading ones" determination 10 put stop to
the payment of specie for all debts due the Govern
