The game Of suspension IS being play
ed by the subordlnatcs Of the Power at
Washington, with HIGH hand. We learn
from the best authority, that a Draft for
EIGHT THOUSAND DOLLARS on the custom
house in tins city, was protested yesterday
for non-payment.
The customs officer stated that a house
in town had large amount Of bonds to-
pay to-day, the 18th, and perhaps, if the
Notary would call OH them, he could pro.
cure the specie for the draft, and then the
custom house would receive the draft from
them, for dues payable by them i The
Notary replied that he WAS neither a bro.
ker, nor a lobber; and would protest the
drait-whlch was done, Phtlad, Gd=.
