New Orleans, March 9.
This has been a day of great excitement
in money matters. At an early hour it be
came known that the pav ing teller of the
Aichafidava Hank was a dr laulter to tlu
extent of $120 000, and other overdrafts
were said to have heen discovered, amount
ing tr about 75.000 more. This had the
effect of rapidly depreciating her issues.
which were freely off -red at 50 and CO per
cent, discount without finding many takers.
The Advertiser stales that Mr. Edward
Yorke, president o! the Exchange Hank
ind sole proprietor of the Merchants' Hmk
of New Orleans, had fled from that city.
The same oaner slates that Mr. Richard
Hrennan, cashier of the Excnange Hank,
and Mr. Simon O'Callaghiii, paying teller
of ihe Atchafalaya Hank, had also disappeared.

On ihe 21st, Mr. Giddingsof Ohio, of
fered several resolutions on the case of the
Creole, which produced much excitement.
On the next day, he resigned his seat in
Congress.
On the 25th, the President of the Uni
ted States sent in a message, recommend
ing the repeal of the Land Distribu'ion bill.
The message was ordered to be printed,
and the question of reference was postpon
ed until to-morrow.
A few days since, after a confused and
desultory colloquy afronit order; in hich,
among other things out of order, the subject
of teetotalism was brought in, Mr. Stanly
took occasion to express his abhorrence

will briefly describe him as he appeared
here. He is about 35 years of age, rather
below the ordinary height, say about five
feet six inches, rather thick set and says he
weighs '40 lbs, this we should judge to
be about his weight. He had while here
a large pair of whiskers, approaching to a
sandv color: his dress was genteel, and
he appeared to be a man of easy address
and bland, conciliatory manners, well cal-
rnlitwl in miiriq hlVOTa hlv a siran2'T. He
had a full head of long, bushy hair, a re
markably short neck, with a fine white set
of teeth, which are frequently displayed
by a smile; his walk was rather peculiar,
carrying his feet with his toes neither in
clined outward, nor inward, Indian like.
We know nothing of the direction he look
from Wilmington, having heard nothing
farther from him since he received the a
mount of the check. We think it proba
ble, however, that he may have taken the
hoai fiom Wilmington to Charleston.
We understand that he received the .six
thousand dollars in large bills, but are not
informed on what Hank: these bills he
will probibly endeavor to get exchanged,
which we hope may lead to his detection

(jpMr. D K. McRae, of Fayetteville,
who a few weeks ago went out to Mexico
as a bearer of Despatches to the American
Minister, has returned to this country, and
passed through here on Sunday towards
Washington. We learned from him indi
rectly, that Santa Anna, who is the Gov
ernment. refuses to liberate the American
citiz-ns taken with the Tex ins at Santa Fe
that they, with the Texans, are treated
in the most barbarous manner, chained to
gether and made to work on the roads and
in the sewers of the city. We copy some
further items from the New Oilcans paper.
Mr. McRae states that Santa Anna was
making active preparitions for the invasion
of Texas, which was intended in June.

"IVho Governs" The Banks or the
People? The Hanks of North Carolina
encouraged the circulation of Virginia mo
ney in this State, by receiving it at their
counters. It passed about among the peo
ple freely. Hut the Hanks willed a change.
In consequence of the resumption acts
passed by Man land, Pennsylvania, and
Virginia, the North Carolina Hanks refuse
to receive at their counters, Virginia notes.
What is the consequence? In one day
the people find this money depreciated in
their hands. The man who yesterday
held 25100 in Virginia Hank notes, cannot
to-day realise more than' 97 for it!!!
We ask the people of North Carolina
who governs?" Let them solve the
ques'ion. Let them ask that man who yes
terday held SI 00, but to day finds the
same notes worth only 897.
As Mr. Henry says, it is a question of
liberty. It is as much a question of liber
ty as was the war of the Revolution. Shall
the Hanks rule, or shall the people rule?
Shall a few corporuted men rule the coun
try? Make money scarce or plenty?
Kaise prices and lower them? Will the
peple of North Carolina give this right to
any man or set of men? We say NO! and
we'll back it, with resistance to ihe death!

the Mechanics' Bank. Two others have
clpsed their doors, the Manufacturers' and
and that he had concluded to go larth- r
north to n.ake his intended purchases. On
Wednesday of the same week he went to
the Branch of the Hank of the Slate in this
place and asked Mr. Roberts, the Cashier,
if he would give him a certificate of depos
itc for thirty-six dollars The Cashier sta
led to him that the amount was smaller
than was customary on which to issue a
certificate of deposite; but, upon Shepperd's
stating that he wished to make a remit
tance of that amount to a gentleman in
Wilmington, the Cashier, without the least
suspicion of his intention, offered him a
check on the Hranch of the Hank of the
State at Wilmington. This he readily ac
cepted, and gave for the check seven hall
eagles and two half dollar pieces in silver.
Early on Friday morning Shepperd took
ihe fVestern stage. Nothing farther was
heard or thought of the check, until the
receipt, by last Tuesday's mail, by Mr.
Roberts, of the notice of the receipt and
payment by the Cashier of the Hranch of
the Hank of the State al Wilmington of a
check for six thousand dollars, drawn by
Mr. Koberts, in favor of John Wood, en
dorsed by him, Pay to Nathan Shep
perd, and by him endorsed. N.
Shepperd." 'This was no doubt the same
check, with the exception of this small
change Irom thirty-six to six thousand dol
lars, which Mr. Roberts had sold to the
villain in question. The scoundrel proba
bly committed the foigery here. We
learn that he purchased a bottle of blue ink
at a drug store in town, of the same kind
as that with which the check was written,
soon alter gelling it.
What metamorphosis this swindling ras
cal may have made in his personal appear
ance before this lime, we pretend not to
guess; but as it may aid in leading to an
an cst of the perpetrator of a crime hitherto
being asked what she had to say why sen
lence of death should not be pronounced
against her, she rose from hpr seat, and
said in an audible but somewhat faltering
voice; "before Gotland man 1 declare I am
guiltless of l be charge."
The counsel for the prisoner then read
the ctrtifi. ates of three physicians, who
had been appointed to examine into the
condition of the prisoner, as regarded her
peculiar situation-, ami thereupon craved
a respite Irom the sentence ol the law. No
.sentence was passed by the Court the
piisouer was remanded to the County Jail,
there to remain, until the next Superior
Court of law is held at ihis place, when sen
tence of death w ill be again prayed against
her.
The deceased was an aged negro slave,

Right if Search The. treaty among
the five gteat puweis of Europe, touching
the suppression of the slave Hade, is one of
great importance to this country in the pre
sent aspect of our affairs. And ihe recent
refusal ol France to confirm all of its prov
isions gives additional consequence to the
subject. The subjoined letter is from a
gentleman long and successfully connected
viih the diplomatic uiLirs ol ihe country
abroad, a close observer ol men and thing-:
Paris, Jaiu 27, IS4 J.
My dear Chandler: You vveie doubt
less as unprepared as myself for the joim
treaty o the live great European powers
for the suppression ol the slave trade, by
the concession of the mutual right of
search. English ambition, concealed
under ihe disguise of pbiLnthtopy, is at
the bottom of this business. The ohjeet ol
Great Uiitatn has been to interpolate the
right of search into ihe law of nations, un
der the sanction of the united authority ol
those European powers, who have taken up
on themselves to make and interpret Euro-
pen public law. Her real objects, as well as
me means winch .she has intended lo put
in practice lor their attainment, have been
concealed from the associate parlies to ihis
ireaiy. ner pumary aim has been to le
galize her sovereignty of ihe seas, and then
to force the minor powers, the United
states among.the rest, to resDect this new
authority for her insolence and boundless
ambition for maritime power. Happily
