Full Text

It is stated in the New York Star that it is a mistake in supposing that the late Mr. Vermont had any agency in setting fire to the Treasury department. It will appear so by the evidence when the trial of the accused takes place.—Boston Atlas.

The Grand Jury at Washington have found a true bill against Dr. White, arrested for firing the Treasury in 1833—had a delay of twelve hours occurred he would have escaped by the statute of limitations. His wife has been set at liberty.—The principal agent in making the arrest is a noted forger and counterfeiter.
