The 1st day of April next is the time fixed, by the Law of the State of Tennessee, for the re sumption of Specie payments by the Banks in that ' State. AVhateirer , ef forts may have been made toyr educe to its proper limit the paper in circulation, it appears that the Bank at Knoxyille alone has been successful. The Banks are all prepared to pay their notes to a certain extent, but not to redeem at once the mass of paper which, it is supposed, would be at once thrown in upon them. Undtr these circumstan ces, the National Intelligencer suggests the propriety of authorising them to' re deem one half of their notes as present ed, in specie or, its equivalent and give for the remainderj a new- description of notes payable with interest, two years after date.

But Mr. Cunningham being dead, his son, in violation of this injunction, - has given the whole to the world.
