We are gratified in being able to inform our readers that we have resumed the publication of the Daily Free Press, the first number of the new series of which we lay before them to-day-At much trouble and heavy expense, we now have one of the most extensive and valuable printing establishments west of Albany, and we flatter ourselves that we shall be able henceforth to issue our respective publications in a style worthy of the liberal patronage which the Free Press enjoys as one of the newspapers of Michigan. In addition to our newspaper establishment, we have a large new and excellent job ollice, by which we are enabled lo execute all orders for book, job and fancy printing in a superior style. We would here take the liberty of calling the attention of merchants and business men generally, to the importance of advertising through the medium of our columns.

We trust we shall he excused for stating that the Free Press has a much larger circulation in the interior, than any paper issued from this city. There is scarcely a post office in or Wisconsin, at which from there are not one lo thirty numbers of the Free Press taken. We shall send the Daily Free Press to all our patrons in the city who have heretofore taken the semi-weekly. Those who wish to have the latter continued to them willplea.se suggest the same to our carrier. Tliose Uins are new lliis srasim.

The present of affi.irs in the Unitcrl States will give great interest to the annexed brief history of llie of sspecio ptty-inenls by the Bank of Englami, wliicli is sources to be relied upon 'On the 20! It February, 707, being Sunday, an order of the privy council was to the Bank towards evening, prohibiting tin; further payment of specie iuil.il the pleasure of Parliament should be made known. The Parliament tool; the subject into consideration on the next (lay, f'ohrunry and approved, of the order of the privy council.

The suspension of specie payment was oriirinally intended to be onlv a temporary measure, and the strongest assurances were'irivon to this effect on the part of the bank and the government. I was, however, continued from linm ii.r...., as a temporary measure, until, in 1 15 19, twenty-two years after the suspension of payment, steps began seriously to be taken for resuming specie payments, which were in fact, resumed, on 1st 1823. The bank thus presents the singular example of a virtual insolvency for twenty-six years, an eventual redemption of its paper aud its credit; anil this return lo specie payments was not attended by any or commercial shock preparations were made for it long beforehand. The amount of the notes of the batik in circulation was reduced from about to about In the ime a new coinage of gold had been issued, in 1S2I-22, to the amount 17, which supplied the chasm made in the circulation of the country by the reduction of llie amount of Bank of Eiigiantl notes, and also went to replenish the vaiills of the bank, in preparation for the run that might be made on the resumption of payment; but the danger was passed with the greatest facility. The bank notes had depreciated, or.

as Ihc phrase was at time, the price of bullion had gradually risen, so as to he at one period, at tiie rale of i or 15 per cent; and if the bank had then stopped suddenly, and if we may imagine it possible, had redeemed the whole of its paper, or more, with specie, it would have been a gain to the then holders of Ihc notes, in ihe whole of and a loss lo the then debtors to the bank of the same amount assuming llie depreciat ion lo per cent, while I he bank itself would have lost only the amount of bad debts which would have been made by such a sudden and tremendous revulsion, for the moment of the bank's resuming lo pay specie itself by this very operalion, il. reduced the payments to the bank, by its debtors, to specie for the bank had a right to demand payment of notes and bills discounted in specie, or, what would have been equivalent, its own notes. Such a measure would evidently have shaken the kingdom to its foundations.aii'l probably have brought down its commercial, financial, and economical systems in ruins. Instead of such a catastrophe, cither in discontinuing or renewing payments of specie, eacl, of which was equally dillicull and hazardous, the transition in the depreciation of paper was gradual, and almost imperceptible, and after the overthrow of Napoleon, its rise in value was again, for the most pari, as gradual, unlil it arrived at a par with gold, he-fore the resumption of specie payments. In a political, financial, and commercial view, this institution, from the suspension to the resumption of specie presents a stupendous phenomenon, unparalleled in history.

The suspension of payment, in 1707, was mm of those bold measures, which are justified only by extreme cases, anil which, in such cases, are, in fact, the only prudent measures. The whole system of financial administration, and all the commercial combinations and connexion? of the kingdom, were involved in the affairs of the institution at the time of its stopping, in 1797. The holders of the notes, and tiie depositors, wore pressing to the haul; for specie, of which there remained in the vaults only 1,272,000, while the notes and claims outstanding, and which might be demanded, were and lite demands were pouring in with a still increasing title. It seemed probable that the bank must stop payment after paying out this specie; the shock, whatever it might be, must be encountered, and il was very supposed thai it would be, in a measure, broken, by anticipating the necessity, and stopping with more than a million in its vaults, instead of waiting until they should have been emptied. The reasons given in Parliament in favor of this suspension of payment, and of ils continuance from time fo time', were, 1st.

That the bank could not continue its discounts, and its payments in specie; anil, if its discounts were stopped or irreatly reduced, the commerce of the country would' be destroyed: 2nd. That the credit of the Government would be lost if the bank should cease to make advances upon ils taxes: 3rd. Thai specie" payments were of no benefit to England, as llie specie on being drawn rrom tlubank, went abroad '1th. That it was more important that the bank should exist, than that it should meet its payments at the expense of its existence: nth. that the commercial ar-raneements, combinations, and relations, the kingdom, would be broken up by the dissolution of "this institution, and, being once broken up, could never be renewed and, Oth.

That it was better to stop specie payments while specie and bullion could he kept in the country bv that means. were the reasons oiveii 'in favor of the measure, and though it has been censured by some, who have pretended to discover in it the cause of much financial and commercial derangement, yet they do not show by what other course Great Britain could have stnifrgletl through the terrible conllict of that period." oiiveiiieiit Dwelling I loii.v, 01 MAKTIN JSTORV. jtf.
