which he gave me his checks on the Far
mers' Bank Of Alexandra, dated few days
ahead, for 400 barrels, and his note At
thirty days for 100. This -four, with much
more which he bought of different persons
in the same manner, he sold for cash, before
his checks became due. Having thus con;
yerted into money every article he could
get within his grasp, he suddenly disap-
peared from town. After finding out where
he was, called upon him and demanded
the cause of such conduct, and asked him
what means he had of satisfying his credi-
tors ?-to which he replied, that he was a
ruined man, and was not able to pay one
cent. This evidently being notorious
falsehood, from the foregoing statement
to prevent the like imposition from being
practised by him in any other place, here
by publish the said CHARLES TYLER as
a suindler and a viiiain.

yet il aal fail even to have this effect, for
such an expedition will never he seen ex-
cept on paper. The late changes in the
! administration will not increase the re-
sources Of The treasury, and the trade oil
Cadiz, is ruined by daily failures which
render the merchants unable to assist The
government with the customary loans. No
thing sbeard here of the two frigates which
were to sail from the United States to Chr
le where Lord Cochrane will be waiting
for them with impotence. We expect to
learn that such vessels have been provided
with good officers, and crews, who were
much wanting there. The attack upon Ii
ma. we hope, will be undertaken without
further delay.

lieved he had very good clothes, including
a light colored coat, nearly new. Who
