The translation for the Censor, from the Spanish, is so well lone, that it might well pass for tbe pto luction of an American, and certainly is .it therefore the less valuable. It appears, from the accounts, that Mr. Baptiste Irvine was at Angnstura, in tin apacity of an agent of the United States. Of this appointment, although it has beet rumored, we have had no information, s. authentic as that now afforded by the Cen sor anil the Aurota. The object of his appointment, no doubt, is to obtain, by actual presence the real situation ut thosi countries, of which we hear much that can not be depended upon. Mr. Irvine’s mi** " in is not, we presume, of a diplomatic character. It is not new 10 have ageuts abroad; not having diplomatic-powers or authority; such agents, fur the most part,' have been those which the patriot govern ments have deputed to this country.— They are agents for the purpose of obser vation, and uot of negotiation. Respecting the appuintment of Mr. It- ine, of which the report is thus confirm ed, we will only say, that it is one exhibit ing proofs of a most conciliating, we may say of an oblivious, disposition, on the part of the executive, Mr. Irvine, as edi tor of the Xew-Yoik Columbian, has been distinguished by a sevi rity of remark on the leading members of the present admin istration rarely exceeded, and seldom, one would suppose, rewarded by office.— His recommendation to tlie appointment he has received, for which we do not mean at all to question Ins capability, was pto- b.-.biy that ardent zeal v hteb-he has invar iably displayed for the success of the re publics of the South.

Spanish Dollars appear to be in great demand at this moment; and every art is essayed by speculators to drain the vaults of the banks of their contents. The cause of the demand for it is stated that specie is, at New-York, and in otner commercial cities proportionably. at 7 per ceut, above par—being bought up at that price lor tlie purpose of exportation, not only in the re gular course of the East India trade, but also to Europe. Specie is said to be above par in all the ports of Europe; in some of them even higher than in this country. —ib. We hare no news of the release of this four American citizens confined in th& dungeons of Ceuta—nor shall wr, until go vernment interfere in their behalf. Ceuta’, the sepia of antiquity, is a very strong for tress, now held by the Spuniartls: It wa$ 01 iginally in possession of the Moors, anil -ince it was taken from them it has been rendered almost impregnable. It lies op posite Gibraltar, and is a depot for state prisoners and galley slaves, who are gen- •-raHy treated with the utmost severity and cruelty; and, from the present disposition and temper of Spam towards the United! *tates, it will be readily conceived that our citizens in refinement, have nothing humane or liberal to expect. We have, however, a squadron in the neighbourhood, and a visit lo Ceuta may be as necessary as to Algiers.—Xational Advocate. CAUTIOX. New York, September 30. The public and more especially the offi cers of banks, should be on their guard a- zainstan infamous forgery lately practised in this city by altering the face of bank checks. Tne first attempt was made on the Merchants’ bank, last week for six thousand dollars, which succeeded, as ap pears by an advertisement of the cashier in yesterday’s papers. A second, of the same nature, but tin ! with less success, was matte on the bank of the Jersey city.— The fid lowing are the particulars: A young man o| genteel appearance, dressed in a blue coat, while vest, and white pantaloons, presented to the cashier • f the bank at Jersey city, 2 check drawn oy himself on the bank at Elizabethtown, mr ninety hundred dollars, endorsed on tue back by tlie cas'.ier of the hank at Elizabethtown, ‘'Good for the. within a- mount—J. Dayton.’’’ "1 lie check being for so large a sum. the cashier of thi Jeisey city bank hesitated about paying it. Upon which the young man, with an appearance of great indifference, said it was a mutter ol no moment, whether it was paid there or not, anti taking back tlie check, observ ed he could get it done in New-York Yesterday Totenoon he made the attempt upon the Union Bank, but luckily for that nt :k, a vague suspicion prevented them rotn accepting it—and strange as it may •ecm, no effort was made to detain the fel- In investigating this piece of knavery, it urns nut that tlie rogue deposited in the first place in the bank at Elizabethtown z>90, and then drew a check for the sum, and got the cashier to certify on the back —'‘•Good for the within sum.” In draw ing the check, he bad taken care to write the word ninety so as to leave a suffi cient space briwcrn that ai d dollars to idtl the worn hundred, after he had get is clieck certified to be good—thus chan ging it In 111 ninety dollars to ninety hun dred d liars. At. the loot of tlie check where the figures are placed at the left ■and, shewing the amount drawn for, the 590, by adding 00, is changed into 9000 ^uch a forgery ought easily be prevented v the cashiers’ particulai tzing tlie amount lor which the check is good, instead of merely certifying, as has been the practice, -good for the amount.” Alter the. steed 1 stolen, says the proverb, the stable is. licked. This same fellow lodged at the widow Vanderbilt’s, Staten-Lland, one night last week, and alter the family had letircd,. Mise, broke open a trunk belonging to Mis. Vanderbilt, and robbed it of between fllty inti sixty dollars in specie. He then hired a black man to take him in a skiff over (o Bergen point, anil made his e-cape. Po lice officers would do well to keep a sharp look out. Buffalo, (n. y.) Sept.‘22. The success of. the Lake Eire steam oat is such as to exceed the most sanguine xpectations of its friends. Without any previous notice of her sailing, the first trip was, as we are informed, a very profitable one; and she sailed, on Wednesday mor ning last witn considerable freight and up wards of one hundred and twenty passen- Her present spped is between eight and nine,miles an hour; but an important im provement is to take place in her water wheel, which will have the effect to in crease its velocity tu twenty revolutions a minute: by this increased impetus, it is coi.fidentty expected, she will be made to move at the rate of ten miles and hour. A passenger informs us that she experi enced, the last trip, a heavy gale from the iorth east, which, at the upper end of the ake, was unusally severe; she proved an -xccllent sea-boat, and is considered per fectly sale in tbe most boisterous seasons.
