merlv al the head of mercantile house in New
YorE. and indebted to Messrs. picdonna and
Maurov. of Paris, in the SUN of 40000ir., for
which they had obtained judgment in Paris.
The Plaintiffs recently learned that MIR. Bailey
was in Paris, and having obtained an order Tor
his provisional arrest, placed him in prison.
Mr.. Bailey addressed himself Immediately to
the United States Minister, General Cass, and
His Excelency applied TO the Minister of Fo-
reign Affairs; the latter supported Mr.. Bailey S
application to the Tribunal for release, on the
broad ground that, as a diplomatic agent, he
was saved from arrest for debt. The apphca-
ton was opposed by the plaintiffs on several
grounds, the principal of which were, first, tina
only diplomatic agents accredited to the French
soyernment. and not those who merely passed
through France on their way 10 other countries,
are exempt from the law Of arrest; and second
ly, that Consul is not diplomatic agent in
the proper sense of the term. The court de-
cided to the contrary, and ordered The release
of Mr.. Bailey. An appeal to the Court Roy
ale was made against thus decision, ana was
heard yesterday. The Court confirmed this
decision on the ground that Mr.. Bailey was
the bearer of dispatches from the government
of the United States TO that of Sardinia, and
was, therefore, entitled to the privileges ENJOY
ed by diplomatic agents, in virtue OF interna-
tional rights.
ADEN-RepOrtedc capture Of a French fi1gate
by the Englsh.-Strange reports are in circu-
lation about this new possession, in the India
par ers. The Bombay Overland Courier re-
ports that the cruiser Elphinstone has had a
tremendous engagement with French frigate.
The story is, thai the Elphinstone was on a
cruise to Nassawas, and founl the said frigate
there at anchor. Upon some of the officers OF
the cruiser proceeding ashore, they were hailed
by the frigate and told that they were not per
mitted to land. The commander, incensed at
this, attempted to land in the gig, but he was
fired upon. He then went back, and fierce
action ensued! Report says that the Elphins-
tone was triumphant, and captured the trigate.

REsUNTPTION.

IT, c,,,, a.,nands an immediate resumption
and insists that the laborer is now defrauded Of
his inst dues by being compelled to receive the
manor Of the suspended Banks, which is dis
oo,,,+ed at twenty-five per cent. Is this true!
Is the price of Bank notes deprecated so much
below specie? or is our currency so redundant
as to raise the price of wages and OF property
beyond its actual value?
There is class of reasoners who take but one
side of the question: and it seems to us that
those who denounce our Banks, and charge them
with injustice to the public, forget that the pub
lie are the debtor party, and that the only reason
why the Banks do not pay specie is that the
public cannot pay specie to the Banks.
Who doubts the solveney of our Banks?-
They may resume, and they may continue to pay
specie; but to do so must involve many OF our
most enterprizing citizens in ruin. They ber-
rowed money from the Banks, when their line OF
discounts were such as to enable them TO sell
their merchandise, their manufactures or their
property at fair price. If resumption will COM
pei the Banks so to contract their circulation as
te double the value of money, it is the same as
if they required their debtors to pay them twice
the amount of the debt. Is it justice to require
twice as much merchandise, manufactures or
property to pay a debt? Yet sudden eontrac-
ton of the currency may work this injustice to
the debtor class.
It is admitted on all hands that it is the duty
of Congress to legislate ON this subject-and
while all agree that the banks should ultimately
resume, we think that resumption before the
action of Congress will create another susPen-
sion, and that great injustice will follow In the
first place, the amount of bank stock is much
greater than the amount of notes in circulation.
That stock is, we believe held, much Of it, by
comparatively poor persons. Another suspension
win diminish the value of these stocks, and the
loss to the country will be very great, without
benefit to any but the dealer in money-the
rich and cautious man, who lies by and profits
by the misfortunes of others. But premature
resumption must force into market large a
mount of State bonds, at ruinous rates. to the in
jury of those who purchased these stocks, and to
the injury of the credit of the State. Our pub
lie works will be arrested, and the large amount
expended in them be nproductive-while inter-
est and taxation will run against the people.
What g God is to follow? We have been told
that the people may expect from the new ad-
ministration a changeof measures, and that
Congress will take steps to restore confidence.
Why anticipate these measuress Why not
leave things as they are, until we see what Con-
gress will do? In the mean time, the labor, en-
terprise and productions of this country will be
applied to the payment of the debts due to the
banks, and they will be enabled to resume with
the assurance that they can continue to do So

RESUMPTION INTHE SOUTH.

We quote the following Eom the Natchez
Courier:
"But to conclude. 1t is daily becoming more
and more a matter of doubt, whether the banks
of the middle and western states will resume
specie pa yments in January; and If IS reduced,
almost to certainty, that the New Orleans
Banks will not resume this winter. The mer-
camille community there is already PROSTATE,
and if the banks resume now, 1t would sring the
planting interest to the same PROSTATE condi-
ton. We believe the period for resumption has
net vet arrived and all efforts to force it, would
be premature and unwise. Nay, we believe a
resumption this winter would be followed, and
that ere long, by another suspension. In short
we confidently express the opinion, that without
. bank of the United States, there can be M
permanent continuance of specie payments.
There is not specie enough in the country, with
out substitute, such as the circulation of {
national bank would furnish. The notes o
specie paying banks are very good at the point
and in the neighborhood of the place where th'
banks are located; but they are not equal tc
gold and silver at remote points. and the
notes of no other than a national bank, ever
can or ever will be equal to gold and silver, Al
all points. II is currency of this character
we want Not the notes that are equal to gold
and silver at New York, or at New Orleans, OIL
at the place where issued. but the notes that
are equal to gold and silver where issued, and
every where else.
This we want, this we must have, before
we can begin to feel the return of prosperity.
We want a substitute for gold and silver, equal
to it in value, more convenient, better suited
to our condition, and better adapted TO all ouI
circumstances. We want it also, because
without il we cannot have currency sufficient
as well as Convenient.

In answer to an inquiry, what will be
the character OF The proposed publication I!
The proprietors answer: that in relation to
par,izan questions, religious or political, it
lakes no Fart whatever. Facts in relation
to these, as well as other subjec will be
occasionally stated, but only as matter Of
history, or passing remark, without taking
sides for one party or another. The edit
ors are citizens, aud in common with
other lreemen, will vote for whig or Van
ties; we suspect TIE former mostly; Just as
they please: bat their paper will be neither
one nor the othe.. 1t will, however, to
the utmost of its ability, sustain the public
credit, by which we mean the credit, OF
The United States, our own State, and pub
lie institutions, nor less that Of individuals
our own included.
Passing events, domestic and foreign
will be carefully chronIcIed, and placed
before our readers in as bret and com.
prehensive manner as possible, All
important transactions occurring IN the city
of whatever character will receive from
us duo notice: aud sometimes events not
very important, may be rendered more so
by our notice. The proceedings Of public
bodies, whether Incorporated O. not, Will
be observed, and iuIl often become the
subjects ofremark. The various amuse
ments Of our city, Of whatever name, will
be subject upon which we propose freely,
but literally TO comment.
Commercial and bushes information
will form a special item Of the daily con-
tents of eur sheet. A, least once a week |
we propose to give brief but foil view OF
the state of the market. Arrivals Of ships |
and steamboats, will be noticed, and idcls
learned by them be speedily commuuica-
ted to the public.
As ours Is at once a mercantile and |
family paper, nothing OF a bitter or angry |
character; nothing indicate or Of immor'
al tendency, will be permitted 10 stain our
pages. lnsjead of these, il will be our aim
to cater for the taste Of the pure refined
and virtuous; and especially to render our
