Specie Coming Back.

1t will be seen that the course of specie
is beginning to be reversed. 1t is coming
back from Europe. The reason is that the
supply OF exchange to be drawn against
exported produce has been very large, and
the confusion in the money market and
want Of confidence has prevented this ex-
change from being morchantable. Hence
a considerable part was not taken by ban
kers, and tue debt against England which
is thus accumulatiug is being paid in specie.
1t may seem odd, at first view, but it is
true that slower export will relieve the
country, for this reason, that it will lessen
the demand for exchange. Just now do.
mesiic and foreign exchange are in bad
condition, owing to the want of confidence,
which latter results from political causes,
and not proper financial ones. In fact, we
are Informed that cotton is going forward
more slowly, so that both these causes Of
relief are beginning to operate. If London
can spare the specie, and the shippers on
this side can afford to operate more slowly
the blocking of trade approaching dead
lock, will be relieved.
1t is obvious, from the above statement
that but for this political madness of the
moment, loosoning the bonds of confidence
the country would be in highly prosper
GUS condition, just as the Bulletin has al
ways said from the beginning of this panic
