.ROMULUS RIGGS.


A T his Office, next door below Craw-
~ ford's tavern. Bridge-st Georgetown,
will exchange all kinds Of Bank Notes on
the most reasonable terms. All persons
who may have notes en- the banks of North
Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia,
would do well to call on him, as he is
largely in the purchase of that'kind of mo-
ney, and will take It on the most reasona-
bic terms. Persons travelling TO the West
en Country may at all times get the Bank
Notes of the Western Banks az fair dis
count, by calling at bis Office. For tie in
formation of all persons throughout the U.
States, r. Riggs makes it known, that all
of the Banks of The Distrist of Columbia
pay their notes on demand in specie; and
il would be much to the advantage Of the
merchants, and trading to the South and
west, to encourage the circulation OF the
Notes of the Banks Of Georgetown, WASH
ington and Alexandria, rs it will at all
times answer for remittances to the large
com,ne-s' -. 5.,,sl, 81, .,--all I.s-E@
sons emigrating or travelling to the west
ward should be very particular and take
the Notes of the Banks OF the District OF
Columbia, as they will lind them the most
current, there being no countertelts on the
District Banks. The Merchants Bank of
Alexandria has long since failed-all per.
sons should be on their guard, as they will
be imposed on. August IL
