 TO THE PUBLIC.
 Tt is with much reuctance that the undersigned A feels constrained to obrude uon the notice of the community, any thing connected with the business of his house, or to explain any of his conduct in relation thereto. He is that for several weeks past, his partner and himself have been the subjects of very general comment, and that in the estimation of portion of the community, least, their conduct has been represented in the possible attitude. Not being conscious, however, that the firm had, in any of its business transactions, done any thing which should subject either partner to tue mpuatOns which were generally prevalent, he preferred to suffer for tune, the current islander te pass unnolced, feel ing assured that in due time, the community when undeceiyed would appreciate the rectitude of their conduct, and would render ample iutice for any in- jury which their character credit might sustain A statement having appeared, however, in the Ad- vertiser of the 18th inst under the signature of the Cashier of the Branch Bank of this city, purportng to be recital of the facts, in relation the g0tiation of exchange, which the house of which the undersigned is partner, passed to the Bank in December and January last, he feels compelled to for the information of all who may the statement, hIisha hv of # in many important particulars some fthe facts being stated, to give wrong impression, and others being omitted which indispensable to a correct derstanding of the transaction.
