protection in France; butin consequence OF the
sudden departure into Germany Uf some hundreds
of their countrymen, from the depots which had
been established by the IiberaIity OF the French
Government, that door was found TO be closed
against them. Under such circumstances, ex.
ciuded as they were from all hope OF assistance IN
Europe they naturally turned their eyes towards
the American shores. and are about to throw
themselves, for time, upon the hospitality Of
our citizens. Ii is understood that their-number
is about three hundred, and that each one will
receive from the Austrian Government, at the
time Of his landing in this country, donation OF
about fifty dollars. Without other property, and
ignorant Of our language. it is evident that u
they are left TO themselves, this small fund will
soon be exhausted. and as they cannot, with pro.
prirty, be- made recipients Of the public bounty,
they will be forced to rely, for their subsistence,
upon the contributions of private beneyolence -
1t is w uncertain at what port they will arrive;
but wherever 1t may be, we hope, as well IRON
a regard to the honor OF our country. as from
deep sympathy with these exed patriots, that
they NAV meet with the ready counsel and assls-
lance of our citizens. Globe
Faro Banks The Faro banking business is
probably the most fourshing in the country,
though they have no charters, and are beyond
the reach Of ali vetOes. Faro banks are banks

over the countryside hole being under the dl-

The managers, directors, aud stockholders OF
these banks, are the most dexterous set OF men
in the nation. Not horse race-great match

least dozens of these patriots. They pride them.
selves on the great impulse which their labors
give to the circulation of the country. The scra.
pings OF rich old fathers and unces. which are
useless to the world, are sought out by these ia
shlonable bankers as soon as the old curmudyeons

cases. these boards are made, by means Of the
barking business, to yield benefit to society,

promised a list of the last years returns of the
Faro banks; they would form very useful class
