The following is a copy of the circular #hbich Amos Kendall, the agent Of the Pre-

 sjdent, has addressed to the several banks n New-York, Philadelphia and Baltimore. \ AUGUST, 1883. ] Sir Have been appointed by the Secre- Ftr of the Treasury, at the request of the

 President of the United States, to confer Evitb State Banks in relation to future de- bosits and distribution of the public re- Hgenue.

 E It is deemed probable by the Govern Euent, that the Bank of the U. States will not B be reehartered, and that no other institution < Twill be established by Congress to supply Hlh place as agent of the Treasury.

 Ait is now less than three years to the szpraton of its charter, the President N Ntinks 1t his duty to look to the means by shieh the service 1t now renders to the Government IS thereafter to be performed, Ssnd if sufficient reasons shall exist, the government may desire 10 employ another sagent or other agents, at an earlier period. The sole object of my appointment IS, to ascertain on what terms the several State Banks may be willing to perform the ser- vices now rendered by the Bank of the United States to the Government, should 1t become necessary or expedient to employ sanoher Agent or other Agents, that the Secretary of the Treasury may, in that |sVent be able to make a judicious selection.

 In pursuit of this object, have the honor to inquire whether the Bank over which you preside, is desirous, should a change take place. Undertaking that agency or a por- E ton oft, at - Ii this inquiry should be answered in the affirmative, am authorized to communi- Gate with you further on this subject.

 It's, however, to be distinctly under stood, that nothing which may pass is to be considered plegde on the part of the Go pgeInment, Vt to remove the deposits from the bank of the United States, before the ex- Rralon of its charter, or to employ your DanK Tn any event, or to make any final ar- fragments upon the conditions which may now Y. be proposed or received.

 Il It be convenient, 1 shall be happy to know . the disposition of your Board of Direc- .9ls ,, { on the subject; if not, will you do me ale lasor to give me your own, leaving an of the wishes of the Board to '0lle r more convenient opportunity.

 very respectfully, your obedient serv't.

 AMOS KENDALL.
