US The Pennsylvania Inquirer of the 18th, con-
tains the following accusations of the Public Printer
Vhe Editor [of the Tell has taken peculiar pains
to prove to the world, that by his economy, and his
DISTINGUISHED spirit in executing the printing for the
different branches of the government, including that
for Congress- he has saved great deal of tile pub
lie money in that branch of the public expenditure
1t would be well for Congress institute an nycs,i
cation into this subject before they proceed another
election of public printer They may, in that case
be able to ascertain that the 'reforul' has only alb
etracted larger sum from the national treasury than
has ever hitherto been received from it, in the same

nation by an inquiry into aedged attempt recently
made by their printer, TO extort large accommoda
ton from Bank in Alexandria, under menace that
unless the accnmmodatiorwere granted, the revenue
deposits should be withdraw n from hat institution

The sum of money received by him for this work may
perchance become another object of Congressional
investigation. IL is said to 10 many thousands

Fhe Columbian Gazette (Georgetown) makes the
following remarks upon the subject
"ihe report wi II respect TO he Bank in Alcxan

Green will probably deem it worth his while to-
notice these charges IL incredible, that the
Secretary of the Treasury should have acted the
ascrbed to him, and withdrawn the public deposites
from the Bank, to CRAFTY the resentment of any man
