From the Baltimore american.

The Philadelphia National Gazette states, on
authority to be fully relied on, that 1t is not
true that the Count de Snrv;liers (Joseph Buo-
naparte) has asked for permission TO reside at
or TO visit Brussels. He is entirely contented
with his residence in this country, which he
continues to consider the most happy in the
world; an opinion, which, ii may be remember
ed. he expressed in his letter Of thanks to the
inhabitants of New Jersey, who exerted them
selves to extinguish the fire Of his house about
six years ago He speaks, still, in the same
terms of attachment TO his friends and neigh
bors, and of contentment with his situation;
and is far from desiring TO quit country where
i'm eleven wears he has never mot with PAIN
full or unpleasant occurrence.
AS to the millions ladds the same paper)
which The editor Of the Paris Quotidienne has so
generously bestowed upon him, it is certainly
a very absurd exaggera,ion, contrlved with no
kind intent The lberality ofhis expenditures,
bv which the public as well as individuals are
benefited, and the extent and frequency OF his
beney olent donation bespcak considerable re-
sources: but ii was truly said, by an old officer
who received assistance from him, that, while
he has the heart of king, his purse is that OF
nriyate gentleman. He has seated himself "a
monp the farmers of New Jersey, where he main
,aips kind and generous hospitality, without
any idle ostentation that could provoke censurs
from the most severe. He may be found dlrec-
ting his laborers, who are all attached to him,
on his own estate, or in the public road, IN the
improvement Of which he has expended large
sums of money. In the space, OF two or three
hundred yards he has nearly evelled two s'eeP
and dangerous hills at the cost OF above three
,l,,>d lolI,rs and we believe that he prefers
ibis Main active and useful life, to the parade
and mapni6cence which the Q1ohdienae has
nrenared for him at Brussels. His public
works he considers as some acknowledgement
and return fer the protection aud hospitality he
has enjoyed in the United States. \ great

Of our citizens find constant employment with
him: and the increase ofcomfort and prosper,

CnIINTERPFJT NOTES


We understand, that there are at this time
in circulation, Counterfeit Notes ofthe Bank Of
Virginia Of two descriptions
The one is 90 dollar note. No one who
places before hm the genuine and the counter
iei, notes could possibly confound them. The
paper Of the counterfeit is Of a yellowish cast,
and the engraving is inferior; both coarser in
its texture and darker in its general appearance.
The countenance Of the female figure Virgin
ia) is even wretchedly executed. This singular
mistake has oeen made by the counterfeit en-
graver, viz. that the vignettes en- the margins
have been completely reversed; the words
Bank of Virginia" are placed in the border on
the right hand instead of the left, and the word
"7yenty', is placed in the left instead OF the
right hand border. These notes are dated 25th
March, 1922.
The other note which has been counterfeited,
is a 10 dollar note-Same Bank The paper
and engravingAre also both coarser and darker.
The dot over the i in the name of the Cashier
(Mr. Dandrdge) is omitted in all the counter
feits that have been noticed. They are dated
4th March 1917.
