in his letter published yesterday are worthy of some attention, though they tend rather to prove a mistaken idea on the part of His Excellency the Governor than to advance any very cogent reasons for Jessening the stamp duty on small bills. The argument cuts both waya inasmuch as by his very shewing the average of exchange on England is favor. able to the Colonial public; and the amount paid for the stump comes there fore out of the suma made by exchange in. place of trenching upon the actual sum reckoned at par.
