SPURIOUS MONEY.

The public cautioned to be upon their guard a.
y circulating in this vicinity, purporting to be three
dollar bills upon the Bank of America, in NewYork,
signed r. j. SMITH, President, and VIM. WoOD-
WORTH, Cashier. Neither of these two names are
known upon the true bills; they are therefore not
counterfeits, although spurious and worthless The
plate is well executed and admirably calculated to de-
ceive those who do not know the names that are up
on the true bills. Indeed, they have been taken in
this town by persons who good judges of money,
but who did not carefully examine the names the
bills. From what we can learn of the numbers who
have this substitute for money, conclude that
the market is pretty we'll filed with it.

From Key West, we learn that the Mexican
squadron, under the command Of Commodore
Porter, had not left that port. The officers
and crews had been in an uncommon degree
exemp, from sickness.
On the Sd March, the Commodore dispatch

Notaiag of importance in relation to the
Mexican Squadron had occurred since our last
accounts. The Commodores flag snip, the Fri
gate Libertad, and the briggs Bravo and Victo
ria, composing at present the feet, were in iHe
order and completely ready for sea; and the ia.
cility with which the vessels have heretofore re-
turned and lsh the port, prove the impossibility
Intellectually blockading it. The Spanish squad

From The Richmond ENQUIRER.

From me Rfchniond Enquirer.
AT meeting Of sundry inhabitants Of King
William, King & Queen, and Essex counties
unfayorable to the pretensions Of Gen. Andrew
Jackson as next President of the u. S. held OF
Mr.. Jordan's Tavern, Ayle,t's Ware House,
King William county, on Wednesday the 4th
April, 1927, in conformity to previous notice,
TO take into consideration the most efficient
means TO rebuff the undue influence which may
arise from the ayowed Jackson meetings
throughout the Union, Doct William b West
more was called TO the Chair, and Thomas
Walker appointed Secretary. The Chairman
in concise and appropriate manner, explained
the object OF the meeting, and submitted the
following Preamble s. Resolutions which were
unanimously adopted
Whereas, we believe that Gen. Andrew Jack
son Is not the choice Of majority of the peo-
pie Of the U. S. as mex, PreSident-and think
ing as we do, that the different Jackson meet
ings, got up by few Of his friends in different
parts Of the Union, are calculated 10 make a
false impression upon the minds Of those who
feel disposed to select some other out Of the
many worthless ofour country; but being divert
ed from their choice by the political intrigue
ct es r S 81 astSe a nf Mao dap
able to cope with the present incumbent, enlist
In their ranks many who feeI very aNerse 10 his
pl e,ensions, and only choose him, the less OF
evils.
Resolved, therefore, That while we believe
the meetings in favor Of Jackson TO be much of
the character Of this our meeting, as 10 num-
bers, we confidently believe his friends TO be
more clamerous than numerous.
Resolved, That we recommend 10 our coun
trymen to reflect deeply upon the momentous
subject, and not 20 allow their minds to be pre-
udiccd by the zeal Of the advocates of Jackson.
but as time is yet allowed, let us look around *
rehec, for ourselves.
Resolved, That although we do not think our
selves competent to recommend TO their coun.
,rymen one fully calculated TO meet our views,
yet as we canno, approve of Gen. Jackson, W.
invite them to reflect upon the quaifca,i of
William H. Crawford, or some other in1ividu-
al, whose political integrity entities him to the
full confidence Of the nation
On motion, Resolved, That the Secretary for
ward the proceedings Of this meeting to the
Editors of the Richmond Enquirer and Consli-
,u,ional Wing; with request 10 publish the
same in their respective papers,
VIM. b WESTMORE, Chairman.

year to S2e4,44o 62a. The sum formerly paid
by vessels coming from the United States, was
90 reales Weldon, equal to 81; that paid by En-.
glish vessels, was 30 reales fuertes, or So So
In consequence, however, Of remonstrance on
the part Of the British government against this
inequality, Spain agreed to put the vessels of
that nation on equal footing with the most ia.
vored nation: but instead Of reducing the En-.
glish rate to 81, they raised the American to
50 so, and thus effected an equality. By this
America is the loser of one hundred and seven
ty six thousand six hundred and sixty eight dol.
lars annually; all drawn from the small number
OF 100 vessels, agreeably 10 the above statistics.
This, ii will be borne In mind, is for Havana
alone; and il to this be added the tonnage du-
ties paid in Matanzas and St. Jago de Cuba,
the amount will be greatly increased
1t is generally believed, by those whose inter-
ests have made them conversant with this poin,
that the additional Sla is contrary 10 the true
and original meaning ofthe decree; and that
proper remonstrance, on the part OF the gov
eminent, might reduce the rate 10 the original
sum. AT the time this duty was first imposed,
an appeal was made to the then Spanish minis
ter in this country on the subject, and he gave
it as his opinion, that 90 reaes Weldon Cor 5 ioo)
was the sum intended Nothing further has
since been effected; and the hope that some of
our merchants enlertain Of ultimately recover.
ing through the government, these sums, can
have but little prospect offuflment, ifthe sit
uation Of Spain be taken into consideration.
In one instance, the British government sue
ceeded in evading the duties; and whether il is
done by others is not known. An English
brig arrived at Havana during the past year,
with the register Of tonnage redsced, from up
wards Of 800 10 24O tons less than on her pre-.
cedipg voyage. A different measurement had
been adopted, and the duty saved.
