Resumption of Specie Payments.
The National Gazette publishes a letter from
N. Biddle. addressed to the Hon. John Quincy
Adams. announcing the intention ofthe Bank Of
the United States not to r.:sume 8pe(‘l9 l’“Y"‘e“"
in May. He says the Banks canntitrestinie
while the governinentremains hostile. 1 he re-
fusal of Mr. Biddle (i. e. of Philadelphia) to
come into the measure at present. will render
ncgatory the Act ofthe Legislature of New Jer-
gey‘ which requires the Banks ol that State to re-.
sume within 30 days alter the Banks of New
York and P/ziladclpltia shall have ‘resumed.
The Providence Banks resolved that it was ex-
pedient for them to resume stnipltaneously \\"Illl
those of New York and P/ttltrdelphza. '1 he
Maryland law requires the Banks of that State
- to resutire within 30 days after the Banks of
New York and Virgirtia. The Legislature of
' Virginia have imposed upon its Banks no ne-
cessity of resuming within a given period; nor
has the. Legislature of Pennsylvania ; although
at bill to that eliect passed the House of Repre-
sentaiives. It is believed that the Banks in
Connecticut with possibly a few exceptions, antl
most of the Bostoti Banks, will resume simul-
taneously Vtllll New York -
Mr. Biddle in his letter to Mr. Adams says.
"What were the causes of the suspensioii?
” = --an the Specie Circular which forbade
:2 of any thing but gold or silver at~ihe
‘J i'ir..-. .—the mismanagement of the de-
;..i—_...-. x-Mn’-. .i scattered them to the fronticrs——
..ic .;......... raised by the Executive against bank
notes. which alartned the people for their safety.
and caused a run upon the banks for specie.
Now has any one of these causes ceased? On
' the contrary. have they not acquired ten fold
force? The. Specie Circular is not repealed.
On the contrary. it has been extended. for bank
notes are proscribed. not merely from the land
oflitfes. but from all payments of every descrip-
tion to the Government. The distribution ofilie
surplus is over, because. there is no longer any
- surplus to distr.bute.. but the great tllSi)Ul'S(£lllEl)'S
on the Southern and Western frontiers operate
‘ as injnriously by requiring the transfer of so
much revenue from the points where it is collect-
,-ed. Lastly and mainly. the alarm about batik
notes propagated by the governtnctil, has been
-tier-ply spread throughout the cour.lr_\_'. till what
was at first a passing outcry, has settled itito ati
jtiiplzicable hostility. No man, I think. can
=iloubt for a moment that the Executive of the
United States sceksto uiriintain his power by ex-
tciting popular passions ngainst the credit system
—-and that the whole influence ofthe goveriitiicnt
-is employ ed to infuse itito the minds of the pen-
' pie distrust and hatred ofall banks."
Notwitlistanrling Mr. Bidd|e's refusal to co-
-operate. the New York banks -are resolved to
,proceed. and will be backed by the whole power
of the State. A letter in the Journal of Com-
-merce. dated Alhaiiy. April 5th, 1838. says:
“ Governor Marcy will send a message to the

_E2:traordinart/ Abduclion.—An express ar-
ri-ed in the city this morning, from Eric. Pa.
bringing intelligence ofa tiiost extraordinary otit-
outrage committed at that place oti the
iii ht ofthe 5th inst. The particulars as stated
-in tlicliandbill. published in relation tothe affair.
are as follows :
-,-§~’ ‘ As Miss Hziniot. tlatightei ofP. S. V. Hamot.
Esq. of that place. was returning from a party
in company with a yotitig man of Mr. H.'s
‘- ‘family, about 11 o'clock at night, they we as-
gnulted on ~the sidewalk by Robert C. Bristol.
Captain of the Steamboat James Madison. and
?four other persons; the young iriau was forcibly
secured. while Miss Hatiiot, amid screams for
aid. was forced into a hack close at hand, with
the loss of her bonnet and other articles ofcloth-
ing. and then driven down to the harbor. where
she was put on board the Madison. The boat
5;- appears to have been in readiness for the purpose.
‘ with stemn tip. and forthwith pushed out into
J5. the lake with lights extinguished.
Chase was immediately given in the United
States Revenue Cutter, atitl the Steamboat
Thomas Jefierson was got under way as speedily
as possible; but from the darkness it was im-
‘ a possible to discover the course taken by the fu-
gitivc boat.
The Madison was not fully in a condition for
sea. having only part of her buuliets in. and but
little wood on board. - Hetice. Bristol is stipposed
to have pushed across the lake for Canada.
The afiair seetns to have made quite a stir at
Erie, and from the respectability of the parties;
.. .and from the novelty of using astearnboat of 700
tons nti such an enterprise. together with the at-
‘ tendant circumstancrs, have caused it to excite
some little sensation here.
We can hardly credit the fact that Capt. B
would have pursued such a suicidal course as
this, and incline somewhat to the opinion, that it
may turn out a more " Gretna Green" business
after ni .,
