Suddenly the price i province fell and aim s; sin uhacousIv, the cunency of the countfy, (he "b;mk

It is not Hi y intention to examine the constitution, n'i'.y oi-the expediency ot any of the dif ircnt modt s ot telicl adopted on this en.ergci.ey. My only o- j ct is to examine the ivti'ts produced by the opera ti 'ti of the relief s tem here and to cnquire into the ju-'ice and the policy of tne execution law of the present year J low ever 1 w ill notice one of the most common ot the obp co;i.s to legislative interference; aid suggest an a?serin my mind satisfactory and ronc'u sive. It is said ibat men should abulc b their contracts that all laus which af f . d stay of execution, or restrain the sale ot lands under execution, only legalise the dishonest breach of contract that it

is luttcr policy to sanction the sacrifice of ptoperty than to reward the breach of ' iauh. But legislative interfeiencc has rot ledied the bieach ot contract, nor rewarded bad faith If the total sacrifice ot ati individuals property would discharge liis debts, and thus liheia'.e him from Ins cnthialment while it discharged his c J editot s di mat ds d'udM could not txit amon sensible men But in this country wt have not abai ktupt law.

lebts yet rests upon him, snd bears him

o the ground, and et.thialls him in a

worse than Egyptian servitude runr. in despondency, for the source cf hope,

his property has been taken from him,

while his debts are left upon him the future presents only one continued scene of daikncss arid wretchedness. When hope is blasted, industry is paralysed -Soon, too soon, the grog shop acquit cs a votary, and the penitentiary or the grave is turni-hed with a tenant. The state has lost a valuable citizen. The prospects of some young and promising family, which lately bcamid bright and glorious as the guiding pillar of Israels

wanderings arc blasted lor the hand of

poverty is upon them, and the curse, the burning curse of parental infamy follows them. But are the debts discharged? N , in vain the sacrifice in vain the pub ic loss and 'he ptivatc ruin. The creditor is deprived of all remedy but the speculator has doubled his gains Legislative interference, was the only mode by which the performance of contracts could be secured, by which the means of good faith could be secured, and by which the final liquidation of deb?s and the general prosperity of the

country could be scented. The result of

this interference has been beneficial.

The active and industiious portion of

our citiz ns have g nerally meliorated their situation, they have d creased their debts, and at the same lime gradually increas d their means All have become mote industiious and more economical Hope again gleamed brightly overour land, and again promised public prospcrit and ornate hanniness. The manner

in which the legislation of the session of 1822 and 23 was receivtd, proves my position. A portion of it, the provision relative to contracts after the fitstdaof June 1823 was received with applause the continuation ot the relief system to old contracts, was approved and the extension of that system the hundred dol lar law was universally execrated. But alt ho we. arc again piomised the blessings of prosperity Althothc amount of debts has been lessened, and the amount of pioperry greatly increased altho economy and industry have brought hap pincss to our thresholds and plenty to our boaids the circuiting medium is yet extremely scarce. Money, only money in this land is dear; all else is cheap as dirt. In this situation of the country can justice, can policy sanction the new execution law ? Is it just to blight the hope of successful exertion which bad stimulated the

debtor

Is it politic to paralyse the in

dustry of our citizens? Is it iust or pol

itic to snatch away the promise of legislate e ptotection and to cast thousands of your best and noblest, of your bravest, most honoiablc and industiious. at the meic,the ruthless, pitIess mercy oi the law, di tcted by necessitous creditoi ? thus too ncrc-siatcd. or more often pointed by tin H uni eye atd Hyena howl o: insatiate sharpcts. Withered be the cold b'oadv d insensitive heart that conct i cd the proposition. Politically cursed be the minds that planed, and blasted be the tongues that sanctioned its execution. This may be called feeling, or perhaps passion. But if so, it is the disinterested feeling of one who cannot be personally injured by the operation of this law, altho he will ceitainly and honorably gain by it Yr t more, it is the heatt, hoiough ff edit g of one who would scorn to gun by a measure replete witlAecncral distress who would scorn teVrSise his own prospeiity on the ruinivdrs-

The sending out those persons in such a cssel, is justly regaided as cider.ce thai the British government have tuken a stand in tavor of the independence of the new states. I is believed that Ferdinand will make an attempt to recover his dominion over them; and it is reported that the king of ihc Netherlands, at the instigation ol Russia, has committed himself to help Spain. Later London papers of the 6th Jan. Mina has arrived at London, and was

( lined it, saying " I am in ill health, an unfit guest for the rich repast: I am unhapp): I have left behind me an oppressed country; a wife and patents, a brother and friends, are still there. Madam Riego, in her answer to the address from Liverpool, concludes with this sentence:U the sacrifice of Riego be not lost if, hereafter, her idolized country shoti.d recover that libeity, which he with -so much ardor restoteel, and which he so anxiously endeavored to consolidate, then the virtues which shall adorn Spain in her political regeneration will diminish in the heart of his w ife the intensity of the bitterness which now afilicts her.

The widow of Riego accepts, from the i

friends of freedom in the town of Liver pool the donation which they have presented to her, in otder to fi usti ate the intentions ot th se who wish to carry their venge ance, even beyond the gtave " The president's message is generally spoken of by the British cditots in veiy fluttering terms, but does not please the French publishen &.
