In my lettet' to you of the 6th of Alpril last, I stated my "CoiVictioi that there could be no safe or permuent resumption or'specie paymente by the iannks, until the policy of the gov ernmemt towards them was changed."..-; This change was sxn and happily made. On h lit- 30th of May,the specie circular, re-. quirimg lpaymnents in coin it the land office, w;as repealed by Congress. On the 25th of Jue. the bill cajled the sub-treasury, renillrinag Coi in al ipymnents to the gov ernetil. was negatived. In the month of July,the government agreed to receive tin amip:ited pavment of the bonds of the bank, to the amount of between four and five millions of dollars itn a credit to the Treasurer, on the books of the bank und arrangements were made for the more - Iistant public disbursements in the notes of the bank. These arrangements, as hon. orable to the Executive Officers as they were beneticial to the public service bro'lt the government into elficient co-operation for the re e-4tablishment of thae currency,. id topent-cdtlhe way to a resumption of specie paymients. That resumption ac-, c4ordmgly. took place throughout the mid., die States oil the 13th of August. and in man) of the southern and western States s(tm alter. IV. It remained only to aid some of the sutih-western states for the same ob-. ject. Their activity in extending theit' public & private improvements had made th,t debtur states, and depreciated their cnriency by its excess. But they had abun* dain r.-ources, and perfect willingness to pay-and all that was needed, seemed to be a lunger period to recruit their exhaus. ted imeitnq--o H- to derive from the ap. pro-wia crops. by a short anticipation, ability to i--et their engagements. The atik oi the Uniiteol States has used its ut-, most endeavors for that purpose, hv%a, king advances to the amount of many millions to the banks in those states: all of whom will, it is presumed, by the month of January, resimie.specie payments, and thus complete the circle"of resumption tlroughout ihe Union.
