A Government revenue of otib hundred and sixty millions of dollars wns paid in gold and silver; a hardfemey currency, of five hundred and fifty millions of dollars, saturated all parts of France with specie; and ifiade gold and sii-t erthe overy day curtsney of every man, woman and child in the empire. These great results were the work of six years, and were accomplished by the simple process of gradually re quiring hard money pay monts-grad al ly calling in the at signate increasing the branch mints to fuurtoen, and limiting the Uanlt of France to an issue of large' notes five liun- drad francs and upwards. This simple pro- easy produced these results, and thus stands the French currency at this day: for the haa had the wisdom to leave untouched the financial system of Bonaparte. I have repeatedly given it as my rpinion many of my speccha. declare it that the French currency is the nest in tho world.

It )us hard money for the Grvcrnmenl: hard rao ney for the common dealings of the people: and large notes for largo transactions. This cur- rency has enabled France to stand two invasions, the ravaging of 800,0110 men, two changes of dynasty, and the payment of a milliard of contributions: and all without any commotion or revulcion in trade. It has saved her from the revulsions Which have afflicted Eng-" land and our America for so many years. It has saved her from expansions, contractions, and ruinnifs fluctuations of price. It has save: her, for near forty years, from a debate on currency.

It has saved her ten from the knowledge of our swcet-scciitcd phrases: snum currency unscund plethoric, dropsical, inflated, bleated: tho money market tight to-day a little easier this morning and all such verbiage, which the haberdashers' beys repeat, it has saved Friuco from even 1 a discussion on currency while in Eitglam 1 and with us, it is banks! hanks! banks! morning, noon and night: breakfast, dinner nd supper; levant and couchint sitting or standing; at home or abroad steamboat or railroad car: iu Congress or, out of Congress: it is all the same thing bauke banks -banks: currency currency currency: meaning, all the while, paper money and shin-plasters: until our very brains scorn as if they would bo converted into lampblack and nigs. The Senator from Now York, (Mr. Tall-, madge,) iu his very able speech, has referred to the overthrow of Bonaparte, effbet-jd by tiio system of England. Without going into ths question of the cuuscb of that overthrow without looking to the ico of Kussia and the non-arrival of Grouchy on the field of ator-. loo, and without considering tho numerous incidents, often trivial in themselves, ou which the fate of battles and of empires depend it will be sufficient to consider what wuuld have been the fate of this paper system of England, ifi dike tho system of Frairc, it had been exposed to the shocks of invasions, conquests, an: changes of dynatty: and, leaving out this supposed view, it will l3 sufficient to look at it under ils real aspect, and to use its present on tho condition of the British empire.

What are those effects! They arc, in brief, an increase of taxes from lb94, when tim Bank of England was chartered, from four millions sterling, (twenty millions of dollars,) to forty' five millions sterling, (two hundred and tweiv ty-five millions of dollars:) an increase of the Sblic debt from twenty-one millions five hun-sd and fifteen thousand seven hundred am forty-two pounds, thirteen shillings, and eight pence and. two farthings, (to be precise,) in round cumbers about one hundred millions of "dollars to near nine hundred millions sterling, or four thousand five hundred millions of dollars; and the increase cf pauperism, until three millions of people grace the list. These are some, fori omit, as too well known, the average jfptennial convulsions of that system these are some of the evils of tho paper sya in England. But take anoLher view tako some points of comparison betwocn the national expenditures of France and England, when contending together, and see how the account, in point of economy between paper money and hard money, ill stand. Let us take the year 180(1, when Ei.gland was sub sidieing Kussia and other jrawers against France, and when the Great Emperor frustrated the effect of ull those subsidies, and consolidated his power by tho victory cf Fr id-land, and the peace of Tilsit.

Whit were the expenses of the two contending empires for that year! They were these: Tor England, one thousand seven hundred and seventy-two millions of francs, (about three hundred an: sixty millions of dollars :) for France, seven hundred and seventy-eight millions of francs, one hundred and sixty millions -of dollars:) in other words, the expenses of exceeded those of France by about -one thousand millions of francs, or two hundred millions of dollars. Such was the difference betwee tho economy of paper money and hard money and the same proportion holds -jyood in every station in life, from the emperor and his empire, to the washerwoman and her The amendment now depending, on tho mo 'tion of the Senator from South Carolina, (Mr. Calhoun,) is the same in substance with the bill which I brought in upwards of year ago, -jp re-establish the currency of the Constitution for the Federal Government. That bill was 4n these words: 1 1 -vj That bank notes and paper currency of even descriition shall cease, to bo received, or offered in payment, on account of the United States, or of the Post Office, or in fees in the courts of the United States, as follows: of less denomination than twenty dollars, none shall be so offered after the third day of March, eigh-, toco hundred and thirty-seven of less douoini--tiation tlun filly dollars, none after the third day of March, eighteen hundred and thirty-eight; less denomination than one hundred dollars, sons alter the third dny of March, eighteen hundred and thirty-nine; of less do--: nomination than five hundred dollars, none after the tiiiid day of March, eighteen hundred anil forty; of lees denomination than one sand dollars, none after the third day of March, eighteen hundred and lorty-one and uono of any denomination from and after the third day March, eighteen hundred and forty -two. Skc.

2. Aud be it further enacted, That any person holding an appointment under the laws of tho United States, and any bank employed to keep public moneys, which person or bank shall neglect, evade, violate; contra -vane, or in any other way elude, or attempt i'l- to elude, -tho provisions or this 'act, shall be guilty of an uflfance against the laws; and the person so offending shall bs liable to be dismissed from the service, aud the bank sooifen-- ding shall, on satisfactory information, be dis-. continued as a depository of public moneys. The only direct action of this bill jbave been on the receipts of the Federal Trea sury. It has been extensively represented as a bill to impose hard money upon the States, but such -is not Us character, but the reverse; it was to prevent the local paper of ths States from being imposed on the Federal Government.

Its indirect and consequential action Jiave been to increase the spccio circulation ol the whole Union, by creating a demand for it. The present amendment will operate the mm way; it will increase the quantity of hard mo- ney every where. Yet two objections, neither pf them well founded, and, each inconsistent with the other, have been taken to it: one is, that if proposes to take the better currency for thq Government, and leave the baser to the "people; the other ia, that it ia going to impose this better currency upon the people also; an: destroy all paper money at once, reduco ev ear thing to tho specie standard, and ruin all 'debtors. Each of these objections are equally in class of been ver it I i but tho to In be In cy euiation, and to return them in mosses for re gnlion, all of whom lie ecd at' the lime of thei. never came out furiously, as the eili- jbeir parl, will make tho eduna ion j3 cfenr, then, thnl this writer has clear- tor is pleased to say, against Gov.

The same of postages: and the same is, in some degree, the case the custom houses now, aud will bo fully, when ready money payments are required there, as another bill before the Senate now proposes. Again To make the banks depositories of our moneys, involves tiie use, or the prohibi tion of the nse, of these moneys.
