PITTSBURGH, June S.-EmmOns, one OF
the men concerned in robbus tits Rank,
having made full disclosure of all the
circumstances attending this nefarious
transaction, number of our most re-
spectacle citizens, among whom were
some persons not interested i'll the stock,
descended the Ohio OH Tuesday night
last, about AZ miles below Pittsburgh, TO
the spot where the notes and specie were
concealed. After search of few mi
nutes, In very unirequented, wild place,
the notes of This bank, presumed to a
mount 10 S 100000 and abou, S 1909 i'm

natural excavations under some project
ing rocks. The notes were much injur-
ell by damp, and the bag i'll which they
were contained had become quite rotten,
the silver remained in the same boxes.
which contained ii in the vault. On "a
full confession Of the facts, it is estab-
lished, that keys for the Bank and vault
were made by taking the dimensions of the
Rey holes by measurement. The keys of
the vault were never in their possession,
nor did they ever see them in in the pos
sessisn Of any body. The money recover
ed is not yet counted, but it is believed
that>th full amount lost 10 the bank, will
be something under three thousand dol
lars. The medal Of the cashier is not
found.
NEW YORK, June little French
sloop of war Eglantine, Captain Mand-
ia, OF IA guns, q SO men, 90 days from
Martinique, arriNed here yesterday, with
dispatches.
SPEclE.-It is whispered. that the
French sioop ofwar Byzantine, which an
chored yesterday at our watering place,
brought very large sum in whole and
halt French crowns. We conld lave
wished they had been real, unadulterated
iSpaafardS, being the more current medium
of the present day, altho' rather too much
above par.
In twelve months hence, our Banks can
redeem their paper with Specie, without
Spanish dollar in their vaults; and the
Indians and Chinese must take French
Croans and American Eagles for their ma
Buiactures, or the striped bunting will no
longer wave III their ports. LGuz.
