The Patowmac Guardian, And Berkeley Advertiser

Stop the payment of bills drawn on London to a great amount:--But the most natural conjecture is, that a number of gentlemen in New-York (who have been deep in peculation and stopped payment) have lately sent off dispatches to some of their agents, for the purpose of purchasing all the Bank shares and stock of Europe--then stand there again stop payment at their own appointed time--then to embark on board of a vessel for Canton--swindle the empire of China out of all their teas, nankens, and silk:--On their passage home turn pirates--take Botany Bay by fire and sword--reign there under the title of the SWINDLING COMPANY from America-- declare to swear themselves broken merchants-- make gallows--erect gibbets--hang one another-- and make their deaths as infamous as their lives were despicable.
