an evidence of the grave disturbance
IN the monetary affairs of Europe which
is to be apprehended in consequence OF

gold from the United States, and the

ties from Europe. The Bank of Eng
land has sought to check this outflow

Germany now following by an advance
to 5. and further advance by the Bank
of England is predicted. The supply of

ceived from America, will not be suf-
ficient to make up the annual wastage
of the precious metal by handling, and
it's consumption in the arts, and an era
Of dear and scarce money is appre-
hended.
