I know her resources to be unlimiled-I know she is determined to pre::ser[ ve 1 her good faith lo aJl her creditors-but some little Lime will b~ [re] r1uired to command her resources-not probably over sixly days-and perhaps les::s wiJl enable the Government to make such an exposition of her means, as will satisfy the public, that site will be enabled to meet all her demands. In the mean time however, money will be wanting and every ec[on l omy must be exercised lo meet unavoidable cash demands.
