THE GARDINER FRAUr.--lt is now sail that
the claim Of Mr. Gardiner for half million Of
dollars, as the amount Of damages ALLEGED to hive
been sustained by him and his partner. in couSc-
qnencc Of being obliged 10 abandon their mining
operations in san Louis Potosi was mol n fraud.
but a speculation. Lettets from Washington say
that Gardiner, who is sharp wittel American.
was in partnership wth Mexican merchant, and
that they had commenced. or were about 10 COM
mencIng, their mining operations, when driven
from the ground by the approach Of the Mexican
Army. sc. The probability is that their chan
ces of success were not worth thousandth part
of the money they have sacked by the operation.
We apprehend, however, that it will he no easy
meter to make Mr. G. disgorge, and very difficult
if not impossible, to prove that ftaul has been
committed.
