ALTERED NOTES.-We would caution the
public against receiving notes ofthe mechanics Bank
of baltimore, which have been ingeniosusly altered
from .ue to TEN, and aFe now in circulation in this
city. The alteration Of the words and figures is
well executed, and calculated TO deceive those who
are not familiar witht,he pecusres Of the notes of
the two denominations. The shortest and most cera
tain direction to detect these spurious Is TO
member that the vigneue the genuine FIVE dollar

[Fron, the Ne,r- York Statesman. I

From the Neac- York Statesnan.l
Messrs. Editors-The following interesting
extract has never been published in our pa
pers, though one of the most extraordinary
sayings of the most extraordinary of men,
Yours, M.
Extract from the Private Life and Con-
rersations Of The EmperOar Napoleon, at
81. Helena.
Speaking on the subject Of crimes,
the Emperour remarked to Las Casas-
" My code alone from its simplicity, has
been more beneficial to France than The
whole mass of laws which preceded it.
My schools and my system of mutual
instruction are preparing generations
yet unknown. Thus, during my reign,
crimes were readily diminished; while,
on the contrary, with our neighbours in
England, they have been increasing to a
frightful degree. This alone is sufficient
to enable any one to form a decisive
judgment of the respective governments.
Look at the United States, where,
without any apparent force or effort,
every thing goes on prosperously---every
one is happy and contented; and this is
because the publick wishes and interests
are in fact the ruling power: Place the
same government at variance with the
will and interests ofits inhabitants, and
you would soon see what disturbance.
trouble, and confusion, and above all,
what an increase ofcrimes would ensne.
When acquired the supreme direction
OF affairs, it was wished that ! might be-
come Washington. Words cost moth
ing; and no doubt those who were so
ready to express the wish, did so without
any knowledge of times, places, persons,
or things. Had been in America,
would willingly have been Washington,
and | should have had little merit IN so
being-tor do not see how could
reasonably have acted otherwise. But
had Washington been in France, expos
ed to discord Within, and invasion from
without, would have detied him to
have been what he was in America at
least, he would have been fool TO al
tempt it, and would have prolonged the
existence of evil. For my own part,
could only have been croacned WASH
ington. 1t was only in Congress of
Kings, in the midst of Kings yielding
or subdued, that could become so.--

The feelings of the British publiclz
upon the affairs of Spain, would, if such
proof were wanting, be amply evinced
by the reception of the Duke of San
Lorenzo on the 18th of Feb. into the

its being discovered who he was, the
horses were taken of, and his carriage
was drawn amidst accommodating crowds

Eieetioneertng Y4rtjfce.--Rescrt was had,
the last week, by partizans of Doct. Eustis,
to trick which, we believe is as unparalleled
as it was mean. This was no other than dis
tributing, with such Of our papers as were in
the hands of carriers who could be tempered
with, a handful purporting to express the sen
tments of 6 serious Federalists'' on the sub
ject Of the election. What greatly adds to
the turpiiude of the transaction, is the fact
that this measure was preceded by an article
in the Egis, intimating that the Spy did not
express the sentiments of its editors, but that
we were, for reasons Of a religious nature, OPP
posed to the election Of Mr.. Otis. The mo-
tive for this very decorous and gentlemanly
suggestion was wholly inexplicable, until Fri
day evening, when we discovered the fraud
which had been practsed on some of our read
ers. The parts Of the plan then appeared
joined in one harmonious whole,'' and its
authors were indicated from the imputation
Of having disgraced themselves without mo-
tive.
On Saturday morning we issued sheet for
the purpose OF disabusing such of our patrons
as might have been deceived by the trick
and we have noticed it now for the benefit OIL
those who may not have seen our publication
of Saturday, and with view to preserv :, on
our files record OF the transaction.
or We shall be obliged to such of our
Subscribers as received with the Spy the hand
