The shipments of specie during the past week have been s0 large that the demand for bills has been exceodingly limited. About seven hundred thousand dollars, principally in silver, have been exported within the past ten days, and the Boston steamer will take out about two huodred thou- sand dollars more. The current will soon set this way again, and the receipts will largely exceed the shipments. Bills of exchange on London are ro generally discredited, that the only alternative left for holders is to order returns in specie.

The Chancellor of New Jersey has ordered the re- ceivers of the Plainfield Bank to open the books and give the holders of claims until the 6th of February 1818, to present them.

It is only by astriotedherence to the finan- cal principles upon which the Bank of Englend is at Present established, and by a strict contraction in indi- vidual credits, that can preserve to Great Britain, even for a few years longer, the commercial y she has so long enjoyed, almost without a rival. With the best financial and commercial policy she can adopt the exchanges will steadily increase in favor of the United States; until ultimately this city, the great metropolis of the Union, will become the grand finan- cial centre of the world. Under the most favorable circumstances, Great Britain cannot maintain for any length of time the position she has heretofore occupied in the commercial world. She has a rival, in the United ‘States, which is progressing with immense strides, and must ere long command the commerce ef the universe The United States and Great Britain are rivals, and whatever injures one is beneficial to the other. The very evils which England is now suffering from, will prove immensely advantageous to us. Itis argued by many that we cannot be deprived of such a large cus- tomer as she has been to us, without suffering some; this is, to a certain extent, very true; but tbe effect is tempo- Fary, and leads to the greatet good—it equaliaus the markets for our products, distributes them, and opens a more direct trade between us and the countries of conti- nental Europe We have heretofore depended too much Upon one great market, instead of sending our staples direct to the countries requiring them for consumption; wo have sent them to England, and depended upon that market, too much for our interests. Prices of our prin- cipal exporting staples have been regulated by the specu- lutors of Great Britain, and any revulsion in the commercial or financial affairs of that country has had an injurious effect upon. prices, which we should have avoided, had the sources of demund been more distri- buted. ‘The aggregate value of taxable property in the State of Kentucky, et present, is $254,716,183. The tax on this valuation is fifteen cents on the $100; and one-third of the revenue thus secured is set apart by law in ald of the sinking fund, established to pay the interest and reduce the principal of the public debt. The siuking fund has other resources, namely, dividends on bank stock, tax on bauks, income from tolls on turnpike roads and slack- watered rivera, lease of railroad, profits of penitentiary, &eo ; and it has never failed punctually to pay any de- mand upon it.

Some counties paid into the State Treasury their re- spective quotas of the State tax for this year, prior to the first of August last; many paid a part, and others have not made any payment.
