A Caution. - The Undersigned having, on his return to this Colony from the Island of Barbados, found that a base and villainous falsehood, had been circulated by Thomas Andrews, intending great injury to his character - this publicly calls on Thomas Andrews to substantiate what he has alledged against him. The Undersigned has his Pass from Barbados, and Certificates from many respectable persons as to his character; and this gives them notice, than such a character as the said Thomas Andrews, ought to be guarded against.
