Am? 1 ican 'eagle. Xh«e were three different forts of these cents made here, all with the President's head, not a bad likeness and tolerably well exe cuted. I find however, tlris was merely an attempt of some artists here to induce Congress to give Birmingham the order for coinage of their copper money. " I have seen pattern cards of {hillings, frxpencts, and hijlf'pencea, so base, as to be marked for sale at the rate of 28, 30, and 36 /billingsior the guinea. Quarter doUarj and piftareens, (but principally quarter dollars) cut into three or rather four pieces. An exait triangle taken out of the centrc. The other three pieces of.debafcilfrlver, nevertheless to be run off as halves of the quarter dol lar. The central piece is again coined down, and isleft rather plain ici the dies (which were (hewn to me with ps*e* of the money) and the crescent formed pie ces ttt uck to nearly as' jraffible the Itamp ofj that part of a real Spanish quarter dollar. The piftareens were worl'e exe cuted.' " I have also Teen Dutch ducats, and dollars which were done as follows. The ducat was cut out of a pure piece of foft fjlverto the proper size and to be ealily bcadable in the finger a; pure ducats are; there is then a thick amalgam of gold, (which is made of quick silver and gold, and then squeezed through lhammy leath er) laid on this loft silver, and then llruck in the press to the exad fixe and marks of the Dutch ducat of date 1752. This order came through Englilh merchants from Holland and London, soon after the declared and open afliftance given by England to their high and mighty allies the Dutch. The value of these forged ducats is about one and sixpence Iterling, wotfcmanfliip and aU. They weigh about 2 dwts.'y grs. and by weight the real du cat would fell here for nearly ten (hillings, so that here rests a neat profit of eight and sixpence on each piece. 'j Spanish milled dollars are of three forts, two only of which I have seen.-— The baser one is cut from a well silver pla ted Iheet of copper of due thickness, then hooped around the edge with a fiver wire so thick as not to expose the copper if scraped moderately on the edge wi:h z knife (a common mode here to de ted base silver) and is then milled to the copied dye, of which there are more than one fort. They are so well executed as to pass easily among others, and are in value, ■worVtrranfiiip and all, about one and sixpence. << The other and more pure dol fat.«, the artills are more close and secret about, as being a better tiling. however come to Birmingham in real Spanilh or Mexican dollars, bought at the bank and 01 her pla ces, sent down by land carriages, about 10,000 at a time, in a calk, and they are melted and recoined, copying as exactly tire old impref fions| of which there are three or tour fort 3, but mo(Hy the lank vir ago of his molt Catholic Majesty, nine pence of silver being taken from each of the new coinage, and these new ones want but little alloy to br ing'them to a proper thickness ; two one-h:ilf, or three pence on each piece is ample pay to the at tift here for dies, recoining, fending back to London, and all other expences, so that the public upon whom they are ptKivlofe nine pence in every four an<t fix pence, and the emitter has a benefit of (i* pence on each. Upon close invefligation, no doubt remains itfon tny ntind, but they are meant for the Welt-Indies or for the Uribed States. Six tons of thein anil of other silver, have been so melted down fi»ce the beginning of AujulV lait.
