Those who have examined the above Qtamfed bills arc ot opinion that they are tall counterfeit, but well executed i hose cn ihe Hank of Vincennes may be dislanguished from the genuine ones by the piper's being thicker and mote rough, the word wVmccnnes blacker. and the Stale Bank of Indiana" over the eagle vTinvety dim. V It Sfcdd be well for the public to be cn 4Qr guard against bills of this description, at wielt a counterfeit afi n, there having rece itly been found cn Suacks creek, (about 9 miles from its OUth) the wh'de apparatus for coining it. There appears to have been considerable money made at tins place during the present winter, as we are informed t) a Mr Jones and part of the con puny Which he raised for the purpose of searching the cave in which, they wrought. It is currentlv reported that John Oraliam, est of this city, is preparing him aelf for a mission to ou'.h America. The c urt of Brazil is said to be Ids destination. A more energetic minister than Mr Sumpter is certainly wanted there during the present state of our relations with that power It is noto.rious that our citizens arc now sufft rng every indignity from the Portuguese authority without redress; which we hope, Mr. G will be pretty peremptory in demanding, and trust his instructions Will be positive in such cases. W ash. City Gazette. WH T WII L RELIEVE US? Among the favorite projects of the day frr relieving the pressure for money, is that of prohibiting the exportation of sper cie from this country. It is much to be questioned whether this measure would effect the end desired ; the law itself it is apprehended, w ould be a nun c dead letter in our Statute book, while the evil Complained of w ould continue to increase We mut look for relief from another ind entire I v different source. We trust cease to run the nation in debt for the needless trappings ot lusuty imported from Europe : We must abandon our habits of speculation : Our rich men must spend their surplus money in the encouragement ot industry at home : The middling class must live within their income : Our young men must depend on prouctive labor, rather (ban their wits for A livelihood.

w And last, though not least, we must all refrain from aping the establishments of the nations of Europe Until this shall have been done, we shall look in vain for relief from government. This nation has literally become a nation of speculators ; and our youth, instead of attempting to gain wealth by S steady progress in the sober concerns of life, hope rather to amass fortunes by daring adventures, which but too often lead them astray from the path of rectitude, and not unfrequently plunge then into despair and wretchedness if unsuccessful. A 1 ban y Re g. SPANISH CRUELTY. The discarded Spanish ministry are laid to have been dismissed w ith very little ceremony, delicacy or humanity. They received the first notice of their political disgrace at midnight, and were obliged to set off from Madrid at 6 o clock the ensuing morning. The wife ol M. Pizarro was in the last stage of that critical situation, of all others the least fitted fer bodily or mental suffering. Her mother implored the royal clemency in her behalf; but was only ansv ered by an order to accompany her daughter immediately. Perhaps M the adored Batters himself that this is energy and decision ; but all generous and correct minds will set it down forbiutal inhumanity. .r'ract of a lcttr dated Cadiz, Oct CO.
