COLLINS AFRESH!

Pr roysterfs1tiRg upon large scale.
We are informed, by friend lately
fromthe Frontiers, that. from circumstan-
ces which have recently TRANSFERRED, it is
be'ieved, that the notorious Arabian Col
Inns, and his accomplice Allen TWitty,
have formed sort of Banking Establish
ment, in the Cherokee Nation; where
counterfeit BANK BILLS are manutac-
inred IN large quantities, and disposed
oi, Wholesale and retail, on terms suiIici-
entity ai!uriny, To induce persons connec-
ted with the Establishment, TO aid in vi
Ning them circulation.
Bills of Five, and of Fifty Dollars, of
the State Bank of South Carolina, signed
John 4. Faber, president and John Daw-
son, cashier; have already been disco
Vered--and those, our iniormer mentions,
are the only kind, and denomination of
Bills, OF this mandatory, which had,
within bis knowledge, got into circulate
on: and these had been passed 10 Wag-
gcnners III the Nation, or on the Frontiers,
and, IT is supposed, many of them had
been passed IN Franklin, and in jackson
Counties. 1t is conjectured, also. we are
told, that some persons of This SIDE the In
dian Lines, are concernedin this infamous
business-and, it is not likely the coun-
ierielting Is confined, exclusively, to the
Bills mentioned, ii will he prudent in per-
sons on the Frontiers, TO be cautious what
paper they receive.
1t Is supposed, the Establishment is on
the Hightower River, as a large quantity
ofthe trimmings of the Bills that had been
made, were found under rock in that
neIghbonrhood. If the Bank In Charles
ton, were TO offer a liberal reward, it is
probable, that the whole of this vile asso-
citation might be arrested, or at least, that
the principal managers of it might be ia
ken, and the establishment etiectualiv
broken up-if ii is not in some way de
stroyed, in all probability quantity of
Counterfeit Money will be got iuto circu-
lation, which will prove a serious evil TO
persons least able To detect this species
of imposition, and least able to bear the
loss 1t occasions. In the Bills that have
already appeared, we understand, the fill
ing up is badly executed, and persons of
tolerabie judgment, may readily distn-
guish them from the true Bills.

General S1eriweiher, one OF the United
States Commissioners ia the late treaty
with the Cherokee and Clickasaw !ndi-
ans, has permitted us to take the follow
ing extract from letter addressed BY
himself and Gen. Jackson, to the Secre-
tary of War, respecting the wish of the
CherokecS to migrate beyond the Missis-
sippl.
II was intmated to us by several of
the Chiefs, that strong disposition pre-
vailed among many individuals of thena-
ton to emigrate to the West Of the Mis-
slssippi; and they wished to know, whe-
Their, III the event of national removal,
1t was practicable to effect an exchange
with the General Government, giving
them territory in this neighbourileod Tor
like extent in the vicinity of White RI
yer. We encouraged a belief that it was
feasible; and advised, that when the ma
tion had come 10 Il conclusion on the sub
iect, that delegates clothed with full au-
tho:ity To negotiate a treaty of exchange,
should besent to Washington"
Delegates have not vet gone on, but ii
is believed they soon will. The territory
recently coded to the United States bv
the Cherokee and Chickasaw Indians, we
are informed, contains about I3, GOO square
miles of very rich land, for which only
S2oo,ooO were given, in ten annual install
mcnis, being less .han four cents an acre.

,STE.tUPACKETS

had, yesterday, the pleasure to an
nounce the arrival OF the Dublin Steam
Packets at fiowth Harbour, after theshort
passage OF 81 hours, from Greenock. In
passing down the Clyde, both wind and
tide were contrary, and of the coast of
Antrim, the vessels encountered o rough
sea, and strong gale from the n W.
These facts sufficiently establish the ca
pability OF Steam Boats, to work in hea-
w sea, and lii this particular instance, it
was found that neither the engine nor the
wheels, were in the smallest degree affect
ed. The Dublin Steam-Packets are schr
rugged, and handsome vessels of 100 tons
measurement being IL feet on deck, Is
feet bread, with three cabins fitted up in
anelegant and convenient manner One
of these cabins, containing eight beds,
with every necessary accommodation, is
to be appropriated to Ladies'; another with
the like conveniency, is destined for Cen
t!emen, and fourteen beds are fitted up
FOR steerage passengers.
There is also room for six horses and
eight carriages. The Steam Packet Com
pany deserve much praise for their spirit
ed exertions TO accommodate the public
with a safe, expeditions and elegant con-
veyance across the Channel.

The store OF Messrs. Durham and Au-
chincloss has been entered by Il gang of
Williams seven times within the last six
weeks, the money desk broken open and
rified of its contents. Last Wednesday
night two of the gang repeated their visit.
They entered at one of the back windows
with crowbar, and as soon us they had
got cleverly into the store and were about
to commence their operations, two Young
men who slept in the second story, came
rapidly down stairs& advanced upon them
with drawn sw ords. One of them succeed
ed i'll making good his retreat ont at the
same window that he came in, without re-
ceiving any injury. The other being more
closely pressed as the battle waxed warm,
missed lis way q retreated UP stairs back
wards, defending himself with his crow
bar, until he reached the fiat stairs, when
heJumped over the banister ard leapedout
of the window into the yard, but not with
ont first having received a severe cut with
broadsword across his back and shout
ders. Both IN their hurry 10 get off, left
their hats behind, in one Of which was
written the name of the owner i'll full
This led to detection of both. Their
names are Richard 3. Swims and John 4.
Kennedy They both boarded at house
in water-street, the rear of which nearly
butted on the yard of Messrs. Durham
and Auclincloss. Kennedy was taken
on the corner of Nassau and Wall-streets,
about an hour after he escaped, by MIR.
Durham. A scutile ensued, which lasted
some time, until Mr.. Graham came 20
his assistance. They then secured the
william, and marched him off to the watch
house. On the way there he disclosed
where his accomplice might be found,
which was in the cambouse on board
ship lying between Rurling-siip and Fly
market. On repairing to the ship, sure
enough, there was Swims, snugly slowed
away i'll the cambouse, apparently fast
asleep, and very much intoxicated But
means were soon found TO wake him up,
and place him in more comfortable lode-
ings for the remainder of the night. On
comparing the handwriting of Swims
with the note which was left on the desk
ofMessrs. Major and Gillespie, when their
store was robbed, signed AbalIino," y
there is every reason TO believe he is the
writer. They are both lodged in Bride
well, to take their trial at the next Sittings.
