COUNTERFEITS.

We hive been politely favored with the following extract of a letter from a gentleman i,, New Orleans, dated Feb. 9, 1531. The information it imparts will be sufficient, we should suppose, to place the riti.en? of this and the adjoining state on the alert: "I write to put you on your guard aIiainst the very numerous and well executed counterfeit note of the U. S. Rank now in circulation, rive ot the sam- of counterfeiters have been arrested here ! and they state, that some of their party have ijone up to the "western country, wi;h a large anvunt of bod note?. Tney are the best executed CounfertVits I have ever seen so take care." .S7. L. Beacon. Count erf extern. In consequence of information obtained from a prisoner, on Sunday last, the Jailor, the Marshal, and several other police officers, proceeded to a rendezvous of the gang, about nine miles below town, where they found and seized on a press and arrested several ot the supposed counterfeitei s. On one of the captives, a female, the sum of g3. 800 was found in counteiftit five dollar bills on branches of the United States Rank. The plate, however, from which the impressions were made, has not yet been discovered. The Cashier was ar rested among others concerned in this nefarious business Cm. Reft. Trom the Xar-Hampshirc Patriot. 20 163437 dollars. It should not be forgotten, that at a single session of congress, and that the last, bills were reported by the committee on internal improvements, amounting tO TVTENTT SIX MILLIONS AND SIXTY THREE THOlAKn FOUK HUNDRED U.

In addi tion to the enormous sum. oilier projects were presented under the sanction of ihat committee, but which were not definitely acted upon at the last session of congress, making more than FIFTY MILLIONS OF DOLLARS, demand cd olthe treasury in a single session, to carry on the "American System" of in tcrnal improvements.

And are any so reckless so dishonest so diabolically wir.ked, as to wish to pay such a fearful price, merely to elect Henry Clay president ?
