ANOTHER TURN OF TIE SCREW!

Until this morning, the Bank Of America,
having the collection Of the Custom. house
bonds, has received its own, and the other
current paper in this city, in pnyment-the
instructions from the Treasury Department
to the contrary notwithstanding.
This morning peremptory order was re-
ceived from the Secretary Of the Treasury,
directing the bank to receive specie, and
specie only, in payment Of bonds.
! The bank took prompt and manly course.
Unwilling to contribute toward the oppression
of the city, il forthwith determined not to en-
force the order, and of course not to collect
the bonds which were Immediately returned
To- the custom house.
! There they will lie. They will not be paid
Nor will any process be executed against the
merchant who refuses payment.-[N y
