On Saturday, the General Bank Bill be>
ing ON its third reading, the House of Dele
gates determined TO prohibit the new Banks
which may be created from issuing notes of
o less denomination than $40, aud to reserve
the power OF extending the restriction 10
$50. This is contrary 10 our expectation.
II will place the new Banks (if any are Gre
ated,) under great disadvantage The old
institutions will have monopoly of that K ind
OF circulation, and this is the only effec, it
will produce. There is acknowledged not
specie enough in the country at this time to
sustain such system, and no elfart we pre-
sumo will be made TO force it upon the old
Banks otherwise than prospectively, if at all.

FROM THE TRUE AMERICAN.

-
Public attention is called to the news from
Mexico. What this Government can hope
TO gain by rupture with the United States
we cannot see. Distracted by intestine con
ficts, and reduced by series of civil wars,
she is i!i in a condition 10 measure arms with
us. Blu, she may hope TO gain by our loss
es, as she herself has nothing to lose. A
war with Mexico will he productive Of evil
consequences 10 our Gulttrade The adven-
turers OF other nations will obtain letters of
marque ard reprisaI, and harass our COM
merce very seriously. California has fol>
lowed the example of TEXAS, and may for a
season divert the Government from decIar-
ing war against the United States
Bustamente comes into power at an evil
moment, for he will scarcely be elected be-
lore his hated rival will pounce upon him
from this country. The moment Santa An.
ma sells his foot on the shores of Mexico, his
party will recover from their Iethargy, and
II requires no prophecy TO pr edict its success
In any event, a violent civil commotioD a
waits that devoted country. Yet the present
party may take time 10y the foreluck, and
declare war against us at once We wait
with great anxiety the result of these move
menis. Meantime il becomes our merchants
TO be on the alert, and prepare for the worst.
