W&. government might , tTi.ike their deposits o.\ condition that the toix-ign coin fliould be sent to the mint With refpeft inconveniences which would be felt by the"-peop!e, he did not think they Would tje so great as had been reprtlented. And upon whom, he asked, vfould tliefe difficulties fall > Not upon the potner daffes of the people ; they had al ready experienced the inconvenience, for, if they pufleffed a few crowns wheri the proclamation was, iflued, they had been o bliged to part with them, and had fuffered by their depreciation. It'would then be lhbfe people who had bought them up, who would be benefited, provided the 1 , aft were to be suspended, and the crowns were paya ble at their full value in fea-pcrts, they ne ver could be depreciated more than one or two per cent, in any other par* of the coun ty He hoped, therefore, the report would "be agreed to. Mr. Nicholas said he never yet voted against the mint, and he did not know why the gentleman just fat down fliould have deemed him inimical to the edablifhment, except from the reason of the thing, and be ' cause He was not, like himfelf, a slave to whatever had been ettablifhtd. . It was said his proposition was an attack upon the mint; if it were, he did not want a greater conces sion toprovethe eftabliflimentufelefs. When the law for cftablifhing the mint was passed, it was expe&ed the coin of the United States would have infinoated itfelf into cir culation, and stopped that of foreign coin. If this had happened it would have been of small consequence to the people to have had it put out of circulation ; but, on the con trary the quantity of our own coin was found to be small, and that if the circulation of foreign coin be stopped, the country would be diltreffed for a circulating medium. He therefore wished to suspend the law. Was this to attack the mint ? If the mint could not exist without impofmg upon the pesple, they acknowledged it could not exist. And where, heafked, would be the advantage, if all the foreign coin in the country were to be transfcred into the mint ? It had been al lowed by the gentleman from Massachusetts, that dollars werean article of export—would not then, the dollars of our own coining, equally with "the Spanift dollars, be sent out of the country ! And, in return, our merchants would bring foreign coin,fo that all the coin in the country would become an article of merchandize. If government could procure bullion on moderate terms, aud put fufficient coin into circulation, it would be a different thing ; but it would never do to take from the people the coin they now used, without having others to supply them with. Mr. N. denied that peo ple could go to cuftora-houfes, and exchange their crowns for dollars ; crowns would be received there for duties only. And he beg ged gentlemen to consider what would be the expenee of fending this coin to the mint to be recoined. There would be the carri age and infnrance, and it would at least be fix months irj returning, the interest upon 'which would be a dead loss. Mr. S. Smith never conceived the esta blishment of a Mint in the country would injure the people so much as it appeared it would do, in the view of this business. He did not fee how the difficulty was to be 1 removed. If the report of the committee 1 were to be agreed to, crowns would be re ceived by shopkeepers at a dollar ; they 1 would bring them down to the sea-ports and 1 pay them to the merchants at 110 cents, and the merchants would pay them at the 1 Custom House. But how were the crowns < to get from the different colic ft «rs into the j Mint ' Would the United States undertake 1 to bring theih there ? In most of the cities I there were banks, and the money was paid 1 by the colle<3or into the bank, and the 1 the treasury drew upon the bank for the a- 1 mount. How then were the crowns to get into the mint ? If the treasury had a fuffi ciency of new coin to replace the foreign coin, the business might be effefted, but not otherwise, as all commerce must of csurfe j stop, and the price of produce i mmediate- • ly fall, if deprived of a circulating medium. For instance, would the bank of Baltimore 1 be at the expenee of fending their French < crowns to the mint, and wait till they could t receive new dollars in exchange ? No man would believe this. Banks were always 1 pushed for money, and dare not part with i their circulating medium. With refpedl to t crowns, it was not of so much importance t as the gold coin ; if that vjere to be called J in, he did not know what the banks would do—they could not wait till it was re-coin- e ed ; they were rather borrowers than / lenders of money. He knew of no bank 1 out of the city of Philadelphia which could fend their foreign coin to the mint to be re- 1 coined, and wait its return. He did not * know that they could. The Mint, be said, e was flow in its movements. He knew an t instance where a bank sent several thqufaud r dollars worth of bullion to he recoined, and they lay out of their property for fix or fe- 0 ven months. He supposed it might now be j more expeditions ; but it would doubtless . htf too flow for the wants of the banks.— Suppose, said he, the plan could be carried j into effeft, and the circulating medium was wholly our own coin and Spanilh dollars— ■what would be the consequence ? It would be this—our own dollars, being of equal finsnefs with the Spanish, would.be export ed in common with them to the London and c East India markets ; and.liuce it was known e that foreign coin was not current here, mer- £ chants would import as little of it as they a could avoid, so that our circulating medium a would fooii be exhausted. He fhould,therefore, p be in favour of the amendment of the gen tleman from Virginia. t Mr. Sswall said, the present question t was not whether the circulation of foreign i: coins should be prohibited altogether ; but n whether that circulation should be a partial t one. Some gentlemen seemed to think no thing ought to be done with refpeft to gold t coin ; but all were of opinion it would be e necessary to allow »t least a partial payment a It ,of fllvvr coin j and feme of gold coin. For is j . his own part, h : \vas unwilling to postpone - j the difficulty which mult be. encountered, and which had already been felt in a great t degree, whenever a partial stoppage should n be pnt to the circulation of foreign coin. If" , the law were to be suspended f<?r two years, e as some gentlemen wished, he did not think we fliould be much better prepared to carry , it into effeft than at present. He did not e think it possible to supply the mint of the United States with bullion in any other way 3 than'by preventing the circulation of foreign " c "' n \ were not, he said, in poflefiion ) of mines abroad, nor did we import much : bullion ; but our commerce led us to import a jCjinfiderable quantity of foreign coin, and " f° r e'gn coin of greater value in the country r from whence it was imported, than it was when it arrived here, which was owing to I the exportation of coin being forbidden in those countries, and there was no way of 1 importing it but by concealing it. On this account, a four pillole piece, which in Bil boa was worth sixteen dollars, was- here worth no more than fifteen and a quarter ; yet a merchant will bring this gold coin at ; this loss, rather than bring dollars, which, being so much more bulky, would be liable to be discovered, and risk the loss of (hip and cargo. If foreign gold coin were out of circulation altogether, he did not think much inconvenience would be experienced ; it was not current by tale, the weighing of it was attended with much trouble, and he thought it might very well be dispensed with. And though it would not be receiv ed as a legal tender, this would take little from its value ; for a person would always be able to pay a pound of gold for. what it was really worth, and wbilft the mint was in being, there would always be a ready market for it. With refpeft to silver it was different. It passed for more than its real value. A crown, or dollar, though dimin ished in weight, and consequently in value, wou)d,pafi for a crown or a dollar. If the circulation of foreign silver was altogether stopped, the loss sustained by individuals would be great ; but, on the other hand, it was necessary to supply the mint, and it was proper to flop the circulation of all fo reign (ilvcr coin, except dollars and parts thereof, which would not be attended with any great inconvenience, as crowns and parts thereof, bore, but a small proportion of the foreign silver coin in circulation. Indeed, the inconvenience had already taken place. In the part from whence he came, the cir- ' culatLo of crowns had stopped, except is J dollars, and they were paid without any . great hesitation by the persons who had them at that rate. Bat he did not think J we were wholly prepared to meet this incen- I venience. He, therefore, thought it would i be right to agree to the report of the com- ' mitt**, which allowed them to be received at the custom-house, which would, in a great f measure, remedy the evil arising from their 1 being declared not to be a legal tender in J other cases. Gentlemen had observed that f the country would be more affedted by this c regulation thau the cities ; but, as it had " been before dated, if a crown was worth ' no cents in one place, it would not be ' worth much less in any other. The incon venience would be of fliort duration, as the crowns wonld all flow to those parts where they were received current. This observa tion had been opposed by a faft that bank bills in the interior of the country pass at a depreciated rate ; but he thought that the analogy would not hold. If a person had five crowns, and was obliged to expend one < of them, before he had an opportunity of getting the full value for them, he would j lose only a few cents, but in a bank note of five dollars, if he wanted make use of a - dollar, he would l'uffer a loss upon the whole I note. He hoped the report would be jgr«ed to. - [.Debate to be continue J.] i Friday, December 15. '• Mr. Pp.irg SrK.taut, from Neui-Hamp.

Mr. Fehno, Did Ibtlieve that therecognition-by Con- I grefs, of the right of our merchants to arm ] their vessels for defence again ft piracy in the Weft Indies, and on our coast, involved ei ther a (i open pr implicit declaration of di rest hostility agaisft any particular nation 1 whatev<r, I should be as much opposed to the raeafure as any citizen in the United , States, " A Friend to Laws and Freedom" not exceptedr^—but this not being the cafe I am clearly of opinion that in the present tituation of affairs the rjght of merchants t* 1 arm their veffds, Ihouldbe no longer restrain ed. Especially when it is notorious that the vessels which moflly annoy our commerce are of so small a size and so conterpptibly equipped that a few fwrvels or small arms, on board one of.teuTjnercttantmen, with the addition of four hands more than the ordinary complement would save proper ty to an immense amount from falling into the hands of those, unparalelled monsters. It is therefore vefy delirable that Congress (hould speedily recognize the exercise of a right, which may produce the belt effedls i'd restoring our almost languished commeree and console the merchants, who may be said to be the principal support of government, with a hope that the government they sup port is not altogether indifferent as to their luecefs. , The" FriendtoLawsandFreedom"feems to think that the inconveniences by spoliati ons on our trade, fall upon the inhabitants of the nations at war, inasmuch as the con- 1 a fume* of Our produce pays for if. bt fVch an enhanced value as to include the e;;t: lordi -3 'nary charges of, freight, infura . -. 3rc: &£. - Indeed it .would seem to be our real 'intei cft - to encourage, rather than oppose the pirates, whose depredations -according to hrt reason " iag, tend' to enrich our merchants, under - writers and (hip carpenters—because as the 1 price of our produce is enhanced to the CUI>- r Aimer in a greater proportion than the dif ferences of info ranee—and as the high pre ' miumsour ynderwritersrequire enables them 1 to lose one fourth of the property they in , sure—and as it encourages our {hip carpen -1 ter3 to be canftantly building vessels to i supply the deficiency occafiooed by captures the advantage is clearly in our favor, and therefore why attempt to oppose or prevent what is so admirably calculated to increase our wealth and prosperity ! Mr. Fen no, the whole statement of a Friend to Laws and Freedom, is a misrepre sentation proceeding. I presume, not from intention to deceive, but from want of cor real information of the a&ually distressed si tuation of our Commerce, the effedis of which, (notwithstanding the encouraging letters of Merchants in Europe, to induce our adventurers to speculate on their markets and put commifliohs in their pockets) are too strongly proved by the fitnation of our Prison—the pamphlet of Mr. Swanwiekand our own knowledge of many, very many Merchants who have been ruined by the pi ratical career of French Marauders, to ad mit of a doubt.
