able to say to our merchants — " Your articles are very good, bnt we Can do without 

 tliein." 



TliP bank-notes in circniation, which, in 181?, 13, and 14, averaged upwards of thirty 

 millions, were, on the first of January, 1816, but 26,839,4902. ; and on January 1, 1816, 

 they weie further reduced to 24,040,640?. Can the scarcity of money, and the eon> 

 sequent stagnation of trade, be matter of wonder? 



The diminution of six or seven millions of bank-notes would affect the circniation o/ 

 country bankers in a tenfold decree, and hence the stoppaeeof so many of them, and 

 the reduction of their gross numbers, from 696, on the 5th of January 1815, to 642, 00 

 the 5th of January 1816. 



By advices from the Gold Coast of Africa, it appears that General Daendels, go- 

 rernor-in chief of the Dutch forts in that country, has been surveying the river An- 

 cobar, and has reported to his government the expediency and practicability of ac- 

 quiring land, by purchase of the natives, at a very low price ; and has, therefore, recom- 

 mended that extensive purchases should be made with a view to convert the same into 

 plantations of cotton and coffee, and that be has already made considerable progress in 

 clearing the land of wood, &c.
