General Cushing-.a Beautiful Distinction.
Gen Gushing, at Monterey, made clever a speech
that willing to concede that 1t mended his broken
leg and placed him sound in wind and limb before
the public. But he says that the men Of 76 did not
fight for liberty but for Independence How then are
to account for the goddess the American coin and
the het round her brow, her head bearing the
inscription OF Liberty" Our opinion is that in add-
ton to an Independence of Great Britain the decla
ration OF July L. the of 10 had as an object tina
" liberty" Of forming government for themselves And
yet the argument of General Cushing taies exactly

The actual circulation of the bank has fallen Of since
April the 24th fs5667O, while there increase in
the amount Of bullion and coin hand, in the
period of J755,66s. The notes OH hand have largely
increased and the bank appears to be rapidly
ing from the effects Of the recent drain of bullion and
embarrassments in Its operations The expectation OF
specie from England in payment for breadstufs, may
continue to moderate extent for time longer but
the importation of the precious metals all sources
into England WILL without doubt greatly exceed the
port The bank will thus be fortified against any ordi
nary demand for bullion which depends in extent and
continuance, entirely upon the condition Of the har-
vests The fnanciers Of England WERE at the last
counts consong themselves with the idea that further
expectations of specie would be in the shape of silver
which they say can be spared in any quantity.
