The Gardiner Claim. Return of Dr. Gardiner. The National Intelligencer, of the 5th inst., publishes an extended review of the merits of the Gardiner claim, maintaining the honesty and justice of the claim, and the open and fair manner in which it was conducted before the board of commissioners to a successful issue. It asserts that Dr. Gardiner has left in this country, within the reach of the government, $230,000 of his award, which it maintains "is another proof, if another were required, of the correctness of his claim and the absence of fraud on his part; for, if the latter had existed, he would, of course, at once have placed all his means out of sight and inaccessible to any legal process." The article closes with the following postscript:

Since the preceding was in type, we learn that a letter has been received from Dr. Gardiner, at London, by the steamer at New York, which states that he had just heard of the reports which had been circulated respecting him, and that he should return immediately to the United States.
