* The Act of Congress of June 28, 1834, requires that each Eagle shall contain 232 grains pure gold, orf258 grains standard gold; each HalfEagle, 116 grains pure, or 120 standard; -
or 64 standard; and that Eagles shall pass for $10; alves at $5; Quarters at $2.50. No new Eagles have as yet appeared. If the ºmni. of 25, * º ". re º: al º - º $º ".
standard for gold Coins, fired by the law of 1792, at 11-12 fine. has beçº reduced to 10 and 79-100 twelfths; or from 22 carats to carate 21.581-1000 which makes it less fine than the law require ºf En ºn and pººl º, º
for a legal tender; and although more fine than is required of the Coins of F rance and Spain, yet it agrees with neither of them. I see nothing in the law of 1834, to warrant this change: it only º the ºld º - º -
standard bullion carriº to the mint for coinage, shall be paid for in coin, (without fixing the rate per dwt.) Now if the new standard is tº be carats 21,591 instead of 22, then the old Eagle being ºarutº wºuld ------- ºl-tº-
$10,66,5 because the 247% grains pure gold in it would make it so much better than the new standard as to bring its value up to 96,545 ct-, per dwt. or *1087.1 for each Eagle of 270 an ºld ºn ----- than
If the intention of the law was to reduce the weight of the new Eagles, and not the standard, this would be completely effected by making them weigh only ºrains standard; and the pro º ºf mºn
the new Eagle, would then bear the same proportion that it does in the old one, which would not be the case in a new Eagle of 250 grains. +The law says “and” instead of “or." - pro- tº pure ºn

A Portuguese Dobra of 12,800 Rees, should weigh 18 dwts. 06 grs. which gives for its value, $17 30-. sº s
A Johannes of 6,400 Rees, should weigh 9 dwts. 64 grs. which gives for its value, $8 79. ...
A Half Johannes of 3,200 Rees, should weigh 4.15. which gives for its value $4 38. !
An American Eagle, coined previous to July 31, 1834, should weigh 270 grains, or 11 dwts, and 6 grs. and its value is now fixed by law, at $10 66,5 ! ..
if of full weight. :
The law of June 28, 1834, fixes the weight of the Eagles to be coined, after July 31, 1834, at 258 grains of standard gold, or 232 grains pure gold; and , ſº

; Halves and Quarters in proportion. Now as 258 grains, (or 10 dwts. 18 grs.) give us by this table $10 19, we must conclude that the standard of these new Eagles 3 -
; is not so good as the old ones; or that the law intended the weight to be 253 grains, instead of 258. At 258 grains each, their value is equal to 0.8,87 per grain, ; ,
being about the same as French gold. At 253 grains each, (10 dwts. 13 grs.) their value would be $9.993, or 0.3,95 per grain. * .
The following Coins being of the same fineness as the above, (viz. 22 carats) their value may be found by this table. They are not, however, a legal tender, viz. tº .
Russia Imperial, coined before 1763, weight 10.16; coined in 1763, weight 8.9%; Ruble of 1756, wt. 1.0%; Poltin of 1777, wt. 9 grains. * . .
Holland, Double Ryder, wt. 12.21; Ryder, 6.9; Half Ryder, 3.44. :
BASIL, or Basle Ducat, wt. 2.44. *
Ducats....The following Ducats appear to be from 1 to 13 carats finer than the English (or American) Standard of 22 carats, viz. Austrian, (Double and " " :
single); Baden; Bavaria; Bern; Brunswick; Cologne; Denmark, (Specie Ducat); Frankfort, on the Mayn; Holland; Hamburg, (Single and Double); Hanover; † -
Hesse Darmstad; Kremnitz, or Hungarian; Leige; Manheim; Mentz; Nuremburg, (Double and Single); Poland; Prussia; Russia; Saltzburg; Saxony; Sweden; -
; Lucerne, (Single only); Ury; Venice; Wurtemberg; Wurtzburg and Zurich. Ducats generally weigh from 2 dwts. 5 grº. to 2.5%; but those of Baden weigh only
§ 1.233; and those of Venice only 1.93.

: IREMARKS. ...
: DOUBLOONS of Old Spain, coined before 1772, should contain 4173 grs. Standard, (17.9%,) or 375,4-10 pure gold, and halves and quarters in proportion; this ! .."
: makes them equal to dwt. 0.21,578 grs. pure gold to the dwt. Those of 1772, should contain 4163 grs. St. (17.84,) or 372 pure, being equal to 0.21,434 * .
gº grs. pure to the dwt. ; so that, although they are a legal tender, for an amount equal to the price of their real wt. as given in this table, yet they are worth * -
: more money as bullion, because they are better than the Standard. Other Coins of Spain, of these dates, do not vary much in quality, from the above. r:
DOUBLOONS of 1801, should contain 417 grs. (17.9) standard, or 360,6 grs. pure; this would give only 0.20,752 grs. pure per dwt. being a little less than the X
law requires, (viz. 20,859 grs.) so that strictly speaking, they are not a legal tender. Those coined since 1801, were probably intended to be of the * -
same standard and purity as those of 1801. º
DOUBLOONS, as usually found in Commerce, vary in weight from 17.06 to 17.9%. When received by tale, they are considered merchantable, if they do not Ç
weigh less than 17.6; but if they weigh less than that, they are rejected. The halves, quarters, eighths and sixteenths, are seldom found of full weight.
DOUBLOONS, of South America, vary some in purity; those of Bogota, have generally been ſound to conform best to the standard of 360,6 grains pyre.
*...* The average quantity of pure gold, contained in the Doubloons, now in circulation, may be estimated at 360 grains.
