New YoRR, Oct. l9.

The steamer Liverpool, which sails this
day, will coneey 10 Europe the first intel
igeace Of the suspension Of specie pay
ments by the Pennsylvania banks and Of
many banks south Of them. unless the
London packet ship Wellington should
arrive before hcr, which is not improbable.
On The departure Of the Wellington the
suspension alluded 10 was of such recent
occurrence that We rnntented ourselves
with simply noticing il. Sufficient time
had not then elapsed TO consider this event
in all its bearings, 10 reflect on its many
important consequences, and its probable
effects; and even now. through wo pro-
pose to enter more fully on the subject, we
shall principally confine ourselves to a
statement Of facts. on which reliance may
he placed, for We are still too much in the
dark as to the immediate causes Of the
catastrophe, 10 venture decided opinion
on the causes which produced il or the
consequences which may be expected to
flow from il.
All the Banks in the city Of New York
with couple Of 'rlins exceptions no,
worthy Of nolce) continue to NEE, their
engagements in specie. aud are amply able
10 meet their circulation (Which may oe
presumed 'u he much curtailed) and their
deposies. in specie, If demanded. There
has, however, been no run upon them for
specie, for foreign exchanges, being in our
favor, and The balance Of Indebtedness
with other parts Of the Union being also
in our favor, sit well impossible 10 conceive
from what quarter any such demand should
come. If it should come, however, our
banks. we repeat. are prepared to meet it
in specie from their own resources, and
should these by any possibility fail, they
will have the support Of the Federal Gov
ernment.--Cour. & Ina.
