AN IMPORTANT FACT

Has come to our knowledge, which proves that not one cent of the United States Bank Stock would quit this country at the expiration of the Charter. A merchant in London writes his friend in Baltimore, that he was afraid to insure the vessel, &c. in London, as there was no confidence between man and man; that they daily were in dread of some terrible shock: therefore, he adds, I vest the proceeds of cargo, &c. in American stock.

Now, we affirm, that no man who regards money will place it in English funds; and we have nothing to fear except from a disastrous trade, further submission, and unconstitutional Banks.

Balt. Whig.
