Information haviag been received by Ro- ' bert Wharton, Esq. from Mr. De la Mon tague of New York, that certain-described perfoni were in Philadelphia who had alter ed sundry Bank bills, from small to larger amounts ; the proper officers were diredted to make search for the yerfons. In a few days by the a&ivity of Mr. Hain9, head Conttable, with other civil officers, three persons were arretted and lodged in the jail of this city, viz. Rolwell Bingham alias, Robert Beertian, Levy .Stephens & Ephra m Fitch. On them was found all the plates | and apparatus together with an immense , ! uumber of altered bills, amounting to 1280 | ' dollars on the Manhattan Bank, exclusive ! of a large amount on the Boston Branch ! Bank and others. The origin al Bills of one dollar were al tered to ioo ; those of 5 to 30 and 50. The bills in every other vefpect were perfect, the signature, &c. being genuine. The manner in which they performed the alter ation was by extfafting with a liquid the original sum and imprefling a large amount in its place. The bill, plates, &c. are all now in poflefiion of the Mayor. It appears from Ephraitrt Fitch, w|io has made a complete confeffion, that Rolwell Bingham, alias Robert Beernan, and Le vy Stephens are the Principals in this busi ness, and that he was Employed by them, at 25 dollars per month, as journeyman, to do the work., and to have no other emolument or cancern whatever ?n the business—This man promises iniportant information, pro vided he is pardoned.
