BANK NOTES. Among The evils at

are the frauds practised upon The COM
munity by the circulation Of Counterfeit
Notes. 10 the United Staies, the great
number of Banks established by law null.
lipIy the chances OF imposition against
the people. These circumstances impose
upon The Banks the duty of taking as
much care a. possible TO guard the pub
lie against comnterfeiis. The Justice of
these positions has been settled IN Eng.
land by the veTdicts of several respecta-
bic jufies. Tie Bank of England for mas
ny years had their notes so badly Pxecui.
ed, that even their own Inspectors were
unable 10 distinguish the geH'sine from the
counterfeit mole. The result was, that the
Iuries refused TO convict persons charged
with counlerieii.ng, or having passed
counterfeit Notes. The subject was
taken up in Parliament, aud Ike Bank
compelled TO resort 10 The remote parts OF
the earth for the mest ingenious artists 10

The accounts from Spain are sill contra

state that the capitol was then tranquil
and that eight hundred troops were con-
veyed by water from Seville to Cadiz on
the 18th.
Advices from Seville, of the 10Th says
T" Gen. Freyre is here, Little money, few
resources, no confidence. The issue of the
contest becomes daily more doubtful, The
insurgents are very numerous--there are
not less than 5000 before Cadz, and near
ly as many must be taken into account who
are scattered about the surrounding country.
N. T. Com. .4dv.
General Freyre is not in a condition
to undertake any thing against such mul.
titude, could he even conhde in the troops
which he has under his orders, and which
DO not, as yet form mass of more than
1000 men, composed of fragments of corps

1--WE HAVE Heroes" (says the New fork
Gaxette) such as described by Paul Allen,
in the following elegant efusion:
Success is too often made the standard OF
right aud wrong in vulgar minds. Victory
IN battle, that cspricious goddess, who often
Bes and drops the crown OF laurel where
chance points the finger, monopolizes all the
fame snd all the glory of the action to this
man who is thus foruitously metamorphosed
INTO a hero. He is declared by the judgment
ofthe shouting million, to have foreseen eve
~ event, to have provided for every contin-
rency. and to have coersed as It were the
FIGHT of this bright and dazzling goddess to
his arms He now becomes arrayed IN ina
ginary splendors every grace that can a
dorm and bespangle the human character, is
bestowed beyond measure, until this gaudy
puppit struts bis little fantastic hour on the
stage Of human existence, more resembling
an angel OF heaven than man. victory has
conferred all these lustres. On the other
hand, how often do we see the man lighting
with every difficulty, surrounding and sub
DUNG every hardship, who knows OF no plea
sure but 10 the performance of some duty,
whose lite is devoted to one severe, one con-
slant struggle with misfortune, who sinks IN
one unsuccessful attempt but to rise again
with an heart prepared, and with nerves UNI
broken for another conflict: who grapples
with danger in every form; how stten 40 we
behold such characters neglected and disre-
sarded, because victory refuses to reward his
eyertiens with crown of laurel. This IS
the hero in the eye Of heaven, but how sell
dom is he recognized as such character by
man. Careless of the applause, or OF the
cepsure of his fellow men. he makes the per-
Torrance of his duty the boundary OF his am
bition, and turns his eye to that beamlng
smile that he sees reflected from the counte-
tenance of his Creator.
This mode of considering success as the
standard OF worth, has led 10 consequences
that.we fear our country will long and deep
~ deplore. Young men who are anxious to
obtain popularity, espouse opinions IN poll
tics, which they are ever ready to abandon
the moment that Office, the object efall their
exertions is gained. 1t bias led TO double
dealing and shifting, and regeneration, and
fraud, and chicanery, and political gambling,
and pompous protestations, and empty per-
iormances, and deception and trick, and
knavery, and to all the arts of a dirty groyel-
ling policy, that, like the earth worm, was
made to crawl upon its belly in its passage
through the world that we inhabit. We have
heroes of this kind in abundance.
