More counterttilers Detecfed.

On Saturday last MIR aavs, the High
Constable, assisted BY John Harrington. Isaac
bogert and Samuel Montgomery. Marshalis,
succeeded in detecting and securing another
gang OF counterfeiters, who had made choice.
as they supposed, of a very secure place To
carry on their viliainy, but the vigilance of
the above named officers soon ferreterf them
out OF their siu,king place, and broke up
their valuable trade in spurious Bank paper
The building in which they carried on the
business was situated in Hester street and
50 contrived that no persons coeld approach
them except through long narrow passage,
and then NO a step ladder TO their apartments
in the second story of the building. Here Mr.
HAYS took them by surprize with all their ap-
pa,atus. One 1T them sat at a table with n
pen in his hand in the act Of signing the Bills.
On the table lay about 1000 dis. executed and
ready fol- issuing. In feather bed in the
room were found concealed about lOC0 dis.
more uueHccuted. They consisted of 6ves,
tens, Us, and Sos, on the various banks Of
Manhattan and Mechanics Of this city Far
mers' Bank, of Troy State Bank, and Me-
chanic and Farmers Bank, at Albany :;
Bank OF Pennsylvania, Bank of Philadel-
phla, and Bank of North America Bank
ot / renton; Bank of AlexandPia Bank of
baltimore Bank Of Virginia Bank of Co
iumbia. Most of the bills are a GOOD nita-
ton, and some Of the signatures are well ex-
ecuted. Attbosc forged upon the Mechan-
cs' Bank were flied in the body to Joseph
Ihela instead of Joseph Theband, and
therefore Can be easily detected. One of
the gang was ON the eve of taking his depar-
ture from this city, for the country with a
cargo of these bills 4 pair of saddle bags
belonging to him containing about 1000 dol
lars was found in one Of the Ferry Hous-
Is at the North River, where it had been
lodged for safe keeping until called for.

The enemy having by the capture of our
grn-boats, obtained command of the lakes,
were enabled to effect passage to the
Mississippi at 4 point on the side Of New
Orleans, and about miles below il. The
moment received the Intelligence, hasten
ed to attack him in his first position. 1t was
brought on in the night, and resulted very ho-
norabiy to our arms. The heavy smoke,
occasioned by an excessive fire. rendered
it necessary that I should draw off my
troops, after Il severe conflict oi upwards OF
an hour.
The attack was made on the night Of
the 23d--Since then both armies have
remained near the battle ground, max
