Perhaps, therefore, the English Ministry will re-

England notes would be refused by foreign nations
or that the discount would be to any material amount
whilst on the other hand the extension of the cur

enable the Directors OF the Bank OF England TO cree
ale, would appear TO be the only measure which can
sustain and stimulate every department Of general
trade.
