Counterfeiters.—The Philadelphia U. S. Gazette, of the 14th says, we learn that the high constable yesterday, discovered in Cherry street, a nest of counterfeiters, three of whom were taken before the Mayor. Our informant mentions, that the neighbours had for some time noticed that the house in which these people were taken, was occupied only at night, when some considerable business appeared to be carried on: this induced them to give information to proper authorities, and we are told the rogues were "taken in the very act."
