and snimates the whole civilized world To il has
been justly ascribed the emancipation Of South
America, and the protracted and bloody struggle
OF the heroic Greeks. If il unhsppily failed 10
emancipate France, 1t has greatly ameliorated the

customs and prejudices are swept away by its in
iuence. Its march has been so rapid and irresisti-
ole, that the crowned heads of Europe alarmed for
the safety OF their thrones, have entered into an
HOLY J4Ntunce,'' 10 resist its incroachments on
their arbitrary power. How vain their efforts, time
viii disclose. With the example of the two Ameri-
cas- successful, fourishing, free and happy, per-
peus'ly before them, the people OF other countries
must ere long come TO sense of their rights, and
assert them with Grecan heroism and constancy
I-iioerty follows close In the rear of light and
knowledge, and the time cannot be distant, when
all the civilized nations OF the earth will like A

AS the friends of human rights, as Republicans,

" sealed book to most of our distant readers
without some little explanation He refers to the
accounts OF other editors, which have professcd 10
! give the names, designs and combinations of the

touching this subject at all but the matter it seems

the statements which circulated in conversation
or IN the newspapers, must satisfy for the present

ihe names of MIR. Hening, of Dr. John Henlree,
ana oil Mr. IL. Brown OF Charlottesville, have been
mentioned in the papers. 1t is said, that notes
bearing the names of MIR. Henng and MIR. b. on
them, have been passed OF by Mr. z. and by DIR.
IL. principally the latter that Mr.. b. repaired
| 10 Philadelphia to exchange some of these notes
Tor goods, &c. that he accomplished some few ne
Socations there and that in two or three other
cases, the goods were sent on by the Philadelphia
Merchants TO their correspondents here to ascertain
the solvency of the drawers in two cases at least
the goods when they arrived here were not deliver
ed up by the consignees.
1t is said, that DR.. H. exchanged some of the ma
per Tor variety of articles in this city; some of
winch were to have been speedily shipped 10 New
York, when an alarm having spread among some
OF the sellers, they repaired to the Dr's house. on
Saturday the llth ut. surrounded the doors so as to
attract much curiosity and considerable crowd;
and many OF them finally succeeded in obtaining
their property; that he was subsequently thrown
into Jail by other holders of the paper, whom he
satisfied before his discharge since which time, he
mas not appeared In public but it is believed has
gone 10 N York or to some distant place. What

SAID that the trunk, which DIR. II. left behind him,

CITY which trunk contained notes OF similar des-
cripiion signed by Mr.. Hening to the amount of
about sf29, 600, and notes OF Brown and Walker to
| the amount of $4,000.
What was the great object of these operations, we
shall not undertake 10 define. Some of the dis
tant newspapers have characterised it as delibe-
rate scheme, for swindling But Mr. Henng ayers,
that he lent his name from sheer friendship to Mr.
Brown, that he has never received one cent from
the proceeds, that he has been The dupe of lis good
feeling, and he cautions the public not to receive
this paper from DIR. Hendree.
1t is unnecessary for add, that this business
has produced no little conversation excitement in
Richmond; and that it has led 10 various conectures
and some harsh conclusions
