| The Philadelphia u. 5. Gazette accompanies the
foregoing annunciaiion with the following remarks:
Ia the short space oftweniy day., siuce its vaults
we're opened, we understand that the Bunk has paid
out nearly six million. Of dollars in specie funds
The daily increase Of the demands upon its vaults,
from the eastward. rendered it impossible tor the
Bank longer 10 resist the torrent Ii has reluctant
~ yielded to the force OF mperous circumstances.
The great error, consider, arose from he Lags-
lature requiring the Banks TO resume before they
were prepared for il; for how the Banks pa,
the people, before the people pay the Banks T!
When the Bank of England suspended specie pay
men,s, il required twen y-two years TO resume.
The immense resources Of the Bank OF the Uni
ted Stairs md the zeal and integrity OF its Direc-
tors are sufficient pledge the public that. in the
shortest possible pe,io6, il will resume specie pay
ents nrd discharge with good faith all its obiiga-
tions. Forbearance ar! moderation are. therefore,
alike enjoined by justice and sound policy.
The Philadelphia Ledger Of yesterday says
A great degree of excitement prevailed in this
city yesterday afternoon and evening, ia conse-
quence of iumor which prevailed in regard to the
United States Bank The cause " hich gave rise to
this excitement was, us we learn, failure on the
part of the Bank to meet certain demands against
it. As far as we could best ascertain The facts,

a
His Majesty's instructions,
Governors, Legislative and
Executive CoIncillors, Judges
and subordinate officers have
appropriated to themselves
large tracts of the said lands
the monopoly of an extensive
portion of the said lands in the
hands of spectators residing
in England, with which the
Province is now threatened
and the alarm generally fell
therein with regard to the al
legged participation of His Ma
jesty's Government in this
scheme, without its having
Ideigned to re-assure his faith
full subjects on this head, or to
reply to the humble address to
His Majesty, adopted by this
House during the last Session.
Sthly. The increase of the
expenses of the government
without the authority of the
Legislature, and the dispropor-
ton of the salaries paid to pub
lie lunctionaries, to the service
performed by them, to the rent
of real property, and to the or
binary income commanded by
the exertions ofpersons posses
sing talent, industry, and econ
omy equal to, or greater than,
those of the said functionaries.
9thly. The want of all re-
course in the courts Of laws on
the part of those who have just
and legal claims on the govern
ment.
lOthly. Inc too frequent re-
servation of bills for the signif-
cation of His Majesty's plea
sure, and the neglect ofthe col
onial office to consider such
bills, great number Of which
have been sent back to the pro-
vince, and some of which have
even been returned so late that
doubts may be entertained as
to the validity of the sanction
given to them-a circumstance
which has introduced Irregular
ity and uncertainty into the le-
gislation ofthe province, and is
felt by this House as an impe-
diment to the re-introduction
of the bills reserved during the
then preceding session.
llthly. The neglect on the
part of tie colonial office to
give any answer to certain adj
dresses transmitted by this
house on important subjects !:
the practice followed by the
administration, Of communica-
ting in an incomplete manner
and by extracts, and frequently
without giving their dates, the
dispatches received from time
to time, on subjects which have
engaged the attention of this
house: and the too frequent
references to the opinion OF
his majesty's ministers in Eng
land, on the part Of the provin-
cial administration, upon points
which it is in their power and
within their province to decide.
l2thly. The unjust retention
of the college Of Quebec, which
forms part of the estates of the
late order of iesuits, and which

sell the right OF complaining and demand
iOg fepataiion, and Ihe tumbcr o! which
is too great To allow Of their being enumcr-
aled here:-,hal this House points out, ms
among that Number:
LIST. The vicious composition
and the responsibility of the
Executive council, the mem
bers of which are at the same
time judges of the courts of
A ppeal; and the secrecy with
which not only the functions
but even the names of the
members of that body have
been kept from the knowledge
Of this House, when inquiries
have been instituted by it on
the subject.
9ndly. The exorbitant fees
illegally exacted in certain of
the public offices, and in others
connected with the Judicial
Department under calculations
made by the Executive Coun-
Gil, by the Judges, and by other
functionaries usurping the pow
ers Of the Legislature.
3dly. The practice ofillegal-
ly calling upon the Judges, to
give their opinions secretly on
questions which may afterwards
be publicly and contradictorily
argued before them; and the
opinions themselves SO given by
the said Judges, as political
partizans, in opposition to the
law but in favor of the admin
istratlon for the time being.
4thly. The accumulation of
public places and offic es in the
same persons, and the efforts
made by a number of families
connected with the administra-
ton, to perpetuate this state of
things for their own advantage
and for the sake ofdomineering
forever, with interested views
and in the spirit of party, over
the people and their Represen-
tatives,
5thly: The intermeddling of
members Of the Legislative
Council in the elections of the
representatives of the people,
for the purpose of influencing
and controlling them by force;
and the selection frequently
made Of Returning Officers for
the purpose Of securing the
same partial and corrupt ends.
6thly. The interference ofthc
armed military force at such
elections -; through which three
peaceable citizens, whose exer-
tons were necessary TO the sup
port of their families, and who
were strangers to the agitation
of the Election were shot dead
in the streets the applause be-
slowed by the Governor in
Chief and Commander of the
Forces on the authors Of this
sanguinary military execution
(who had not been acquitted by
a petty jury for the frmness
and discipline displayed by
