tioie counsel for Nicholas Biddle, made a mo-
tq to quash the presentment. Reasons

1)4;441 will probably be argued. This matter
tli4created great excitement, filled the city with
te°l'll, and not a few with fear and trembling,
tottge Grand Jury state that they have others in
investigation. Verily, the day of
I'l 'eq. and 'finance seems to be nearly run.
44 only fear now is that the Court will not join
