After referring to an Address of mine to my late Constituents, published in tne National Journal of Monday, and from which you quote certain passages, jou uuKirr, -ne imputation un.C.t your phraaeology would aeem to convey is, that tne letter which appeared in tne Columbian Observer, and acknowledged by Mr. Kremer, was not written by him, but waa in fact writ ten by mc, and that by me he waa made to a vow himself, though somewhat equivocally,' the author. Your language and meaning are aomewhat equivocal too; but as by fair inter pretation they appear to warrant this con' struction, I present myself before you, to re. quire you distinctly to state, whether or not any auch meaning was by you designed to be conveyed." In the pan of my Address to which you re fer, naving stated a particular tact respecting you, I observe, I state the fact as it was communicated to me, & leave you to judge." I cannot, tbereiore, admit vour right to call on me tor my liuerencea tram a fact which I have submitted, to my constituents, leaving thtm to draw tneir own conclusion. But, in the spirit of frankness, which has ever guided pie, I nave no Hesitation in stating that, in re- rrd to the letter in the Columbian Observer. I have not formed, and therefore did not in tend to intimate, any opinion of the person who was its real author. I waa satisfied to take Mr. Kremer's declaration, that he was not the author of the letter, aa made to the late Secretary of the Navy. In the same spirit ot frankness, however, it is proper for me to add, that 1 did believe-. from yctir nocturnal interview with Mr. K. referred to in my Address, that you prepared or uuviscfi me jniuucsuum ui uis caru in uie guarded terms in which it is expressed. 1 should be happv, by a disavowal on your part of the fact of that interviewer of its sup posed object, to be able to declal-e, as in the event of such disavowal 1 would take pleasure in declaring, that I have been mistaken in supposing that you had any 1 agency in the composition or publication of that card. . i imve me uonor to oe, your obedient ser rant, .. , .. .. . n. clay.

Sir: I received yesterday your note of tbe 31st ultimo With respect to mine in answer to yours of the 28th (in your reception of which ypu aeem to think there waa some de lay,) allow me to remark, that it was my in tention to have dispatched it through a friend, who, when I sent for him, happened to be out of the City: in consequence of which I dispatched it through another channel; that, amidst My official, wngagwanants. I cannot mark the hours with the same precision as a gentleman can of your presumed leisure; that I received your own note, the day after it bore date; and that, by your own admn aiou, you received my note at 4 o'clock of the day aucceediiig that on which yours waa de livered. Whilst you disclaim having any thing to do with the controversy into wnicii i nave been most reluctantly drawn by out rs, under Mr. Kremer's name, you have chosen to observe, entirely in justice to that gentleman, that he never used the language to which Mr. Crow ninshield testifies; M toat.it ia a mistake; any thing but tact;" and to claim tbe nght of say ing " that rraaon revolts at the idea, that he should have made Mr. Crowninshield his con fessor."

The American public is the best judge, whether a gentkman of Mr. Crowmn shield's well known character, fur honor, pro bity, ana verciy hsi Jaiaeiy testmed, or Mr. Kremer has been prevailed upon to avow himself the author of a later which he never wrote. In regard to your polite intimation, that 1 bad not properly reflected upon what belong ed to courtesy, I bave two observations to make, the first of which is, that 1 am yet to be made sensible of any particular claim that you bave upon tne for aiveitraordinary oh servation of its rules; and the second is, that when 1 may think 1 shall have occaaion to learn them, I shall not be tempted, even by a gratuitous offer, to renounce my indisputa ble right to choose my owa preceptor. - 1 made no demand upoa you for an expla nti w rh obi wet of your interview with Mr. Kremer, the night preceding tbe pus, cation of his card.

Swartwout and otliera, to a dinner, waa Jubluhed on the 14th in the National ournal. The probability therefore is that he (Mr. swartwout) did not leave the city until h had a fulroppurtunity 1 to receive in a perional interview wit! the General any verbal observations un- on it wntcn ne mijritr nave luount proper to make. The letter to Mr. Swartwout bear dat- the 22d Feb. If received by him, it must have reached him on the 25th or 26th.

In p in of fact it reached here the day before 'he Senate acted on that nomination." It may be true, as Mr. Ctay itates, that his letter to Judge Brooke was pub lished in Washington on the 12th, and Oen. Jackson's note declining; the din ner on the I4th February; and yet not true, as ne insinuates, tnat " l did not leave the city until 1 had a full impor tunity to receive in a personal inter view with the General, any verbal ob servations upon it, which he might have thoujrht proper to make." I left Wash ington on the morning of the 1 3th of February; but I never Jiad a word of conversation with General Jackson at any time upon the subject of that letter. I did not sec the General to converse with him during the day of the 12th February. In the early part of (he e- vening, when 1 intended to have paid my respects to him, he had gone to vi sit Mrs. Decatur, and when, between 9 and 10, 1 did call to bid him farewell he had retired. I repeat again that 1 ne ver had any verbal communication with him upon the ssbject, nor any corres pondence, excepting that contained ia a letter which 1 wrote to hiin on the 17th or IS th of Feb. in which I spoke warmly and pretty freely id the injus tice and want of analogy of Mr. Clay's strictures upon the Gen. in his letter to Judge Brooke. ' The Iettelof the Gen. was read by me on fuu 25th f 26th, as cojiier tored by Mr. Clay and at aa im - sMeHsubaiyrtuereaiter, shown to several persons, who, upoa reading it. declared it 4 platn aad temperate vindication of; nimseii, ana expressed a strong desire to see tt in print. I determined, there fore, to have it published; but without reference to the. particular time or, the effect which Mr. Clay supposes was'in tehded. ,! If Gen. Jackson derigncd it for pubueaUoD,uwa8 certainly unknown io roe ne gave no sucn intimation ; to me, in the letter or otherwise, althoagh he had a perfect rijht to do ao. Injus tice to Gen.
