and Of course runous contraction. The movement Of
large nases of specie from country to another lie
always attended with vast deal Of arrangement to
commercial affairs and invariably checks the prosperity
Of both the giver and the receiver.
In s47 We mportsd from foreign countries principal

lars in gold and silver The extraction Of such vast
amount Of specie from the currency Of ten
dency to dsprecsts prices for every fpscss Of property
except that which the precious metals required
to pay for and the deficiency In tbs supply of
bread.tufs became satisfied and the drain Of bullion
ceased the expectation Of British manufactures became
80 great that the markets which had drawn the bulk Of
specie soon flooded with goods The currency of
this country had become much inflated by the
sion Of specie, that prices for every thing advanced
pidy, and the consumption became very great. This
had . favorable influence upon the oommerca'
CLASSES until the imports of merchandise had reached
such extent that exports could not pay for them
and portion Of tho specie had received few months
previous was required to liquidats balances Then
contraction Of the currency commenced prices for
staple productions while foreign fab
rios were thrown into markets in immense quanti
ties continually increasing the balance sgainst u.s. and
increasing the demand fer bullion for shipment.
The effect Of drain Of few millions of specie from
markets was as great and as disastrous % the
drain Of twenty to thirty millions from England;
and 1t is question If In the course of another year the
effect will not be ruinous to this country than to
Great Britain Whatever affects the commercial prospe
y of England operates with at least equal force upon
this country and made to bear the brunt of most
of the losses growing out Of mercantile disasters TA
fact pretty conclusivey illustrated by the present
prices for great exporting the mar
kets Of Europe The financial revusion which swsl :.
England and the Continent last fall and the depres
sion that revuson produces in the manufacturing nts
rest of Great Britain deprecated prices for cotto to
point lower than had before been known for years
This ruinous to the cotton growing interest

Of England, and We have been serious sufferers by it
