procure rc-hearng of his casc and if possible hts
restoration 10 the office from which ho was reufoy cd
after serving single day only, returned from the ca
pitai yesterday, with SIR Norton. Whom they wen.
on to Washington, they took letter from our paytfc

facts in the case, arc these:-When the bassv
reached Washington, Mr.. Norton was treated with
distant ceolness, and his application rejected. Will

tho public, and vindcation of himself from the in
Situations made against him. and demanded liz pubii
