AGANG or couNTERFEITERs were ar
rested on the 10th inst. in Philadelphia,
who had been carrying on their BUSH
ness on quite anextensiye scale. They
had put in circulation many notes Of
City Banks, altered from SIS to $50,
from $40 to $500, from $50 to $500
&c. &c. So ingenionsly had the
alteration of these notes been done,
that many ofth banks had taken them
without suspicion. The officers found
them at their work, and seized them as
well as their tools and implements, and
also great number of notes of almost
every Bank in Philadelphia, altered to
a higher denomination. These were
all brought to the Mayors Office, and
the men were committed.
The Gazette also states that one of
the persons arrested,a German was
found at his table in thevery act ofalter.
ing noics--one of which was before him
with the ink yet moist, and another
was undergoing a chemical process. A
bottle Of fluid was found, which would
efectually remove the vignettes and
words upon the notes, without injury
to the paper. 1t seemed almost inn
possible 10 detect the alterations

We have been Informed by Gen. Rusk,
that few weeks since, while on his way
to Houstonhe met with Bowles, the Chero-
kee chief, who asked his permission to visit
The hostile Indians, in order to induce them
to sue for peace. The permission was
granted. In the fore part Of last week in
formation was received from Bowles, that
some of the head men of those tribes have
declared their desire to make peace. A
meeting of the chiefs of the hostile tribes
was held lately, and nearly all the MEM
bers assembled determined to relinquish
hostiitles. Cordova, the Mexican renee
gade and traitor, wished 10 attend to the
meeting, but was driven away. After this
repulse, he retired westward with only
about $50 DISCONTINUED Indians and fortv
Mexicans. Bowles represents these lndi-
ans as almost destitute of clothes, provis.
ions and ammunition. Texas Telegraph.
Seat of Gopermmcnt in Texas.
New Orleans Bulletin says: A private
letter, has been received from Houston,
later than previous advices, that gives i'm
formation respecting the location of the
seat of government. The commissioners,
it seems, have located the metropolis on
the Colorado river, at point called We
terloo, thirty miles above Bastrop, and ten
miles below the mountains. The situa-
ton is very fine, in a healthy, fertile region
Of the country, and near the centre Of the
large grant made by The Mexican govern
ment 10 Stephen r. Austin. There will
he great rush Of spectators and emf
grants to the spot. The name of the place
is to be changed to Austin, which the
capital Of Texas will hearafter bear in
honor Of its illustrious founder.--Ndtchcs
