■ When you lately laid before the House
9f Commons a portion of the correspon
dence between yourself and Mr. Gallatin,
a iT'ember of Parliament asked you it that
correspondence was Hnal. \ou answer
ed that “you presumed it was, for that
you had the last word. ”
In ordinary j>arlance, a man is said to
>ave the last word in a discussion, who
either wearies out his opponent by per
tinacity of reply, or silences him by get
ting the better of the argument. You
'.vould not wish to be understood as claim
ing lo have had the last word, in the first
rense, and you certainly will not assume
10 be the judge of your own argument,
in the second. You will recollect that,
in yuur last letter to Mr- (iallatin, you
saiti “you would not allow yourself ‘.o l)e
drawn again into a discussion of topics,
already more than sufficiently debated.
Vou meant by this remark to intimate to
‘Air. Gallatin in a polite manner, (and it
4S barely polite,) that you would'not con
tinue the correspondence on this subject.
You could not suppose, after this inti-
jnaiion, that Mr. Ciallatin would permit
Jiimsell to pursue the discussion. Whe-
iher, in such a mode of closing a diplo-
xnaiic correspondence, you can be said
to have had the last word, in a manner
jM-oper to boast of in Parliament, I leave
xo those skilled in diplomatic courtesy to
buy.
Had Mr. Gallatin attached as much
consequence, as you appear to do, to the
simijie fact of “having the last word,”
1 apprehend your last letter would have
iufiiishcd him abundant matei ials for an
answer, lie might have made you a re-
ioimler, which, if I mistake not, would
have suggested lo you the expediency ol
a “few more last words.”
■'.Vhat Mr. Gallatin did not think it
compatible with his dignity or rather
^vith the dignity, of his government, lo
do, may come without impropriety IVom
an oljscure individual. If there is a
i’oundation of truth and reason in my
auggestions, you are too liberal lo under
value them, on account of their source. ^
You commence your “last words”
-oilh a misstatement (unintentional of
rourse) of fact. You say, “Mr. Galla
tin complains that the act ol Parliatneni
«f 1825, was not officially comrnunicaied
to the government of the United States.”
Starting with this mistake of the premi
ses, you go ouj through eight or nine of
jhe short paragraphs into which your re
cent diplomatic papers are cut up, to
show that the supposed complaint is
groundless. Mr. Gallatin simply slated
iho/rtc/, that the ac; of Parliament of 1825,
tvas not officially communicated to the
Atiierican government; he stated it, not
by way of complaint^ but by way ofar^w

You say, “ the act of Congress of 1823,

States, in his letter to Mr. Rush, of July
23, 1823, a document which, as appears
from your observations in the-IIouse of
Commons, when you laid a portion of
the correspondence before that body, you
must have«cen. Mr. Adams says—
“The acl of Congress of 1st March,
1823, was introduced into the Senate by
their committee of foreittn relations, at
an early period of the late session. VV’hile
it was in discussion before the comtnit-
tee of the Senate, Mr. Canning, (the Bri

copy of the bill had been communicated,
made some written remarktt upon it, ivhic'h

So much for die first matter of fact in
your statement. But now comes the
other portion, relative to the word “else
where and I confess I dare not in cour

you treat this subject. Mr. Adams says,
“ The full import of the term “ elsewhere^'’

of these rtmarhs, (of Mr S. C'aniiing,

to Mr. C anning !”

Shocking Jlffiiir.—At about 12 o’clock
yesterday a horrible aflair occurred in a
house in W'ater street, next to the corner
of Old slip. A nian named Alexander
M’J^ean, a labourer in several mercantile
stores in U^e lower part of New York,
stabbed hiTw'ife, which caused herdea’h
in less than an hour afterwards. 'I'hey
had been separated nearly two months in
consequence of ill treatment on his part.
The husband is represented as having
been addicted to intemperance and to
have used his wife (who is slated lo have
been an industrious woman, possessing
an exemplary and fair character) in an
abusive and cruel manner. A child, aged
four years, was their sole ofTspring, and
was present at the commission of the hor
rid deed. M’Lean presented himself be- j
fore his wife at about twelve yesterday, '
having visited her twice previously in the
course of the forenoon, and inflicted, af
ter a short ultercation, the wound m hich
caused her death. A young girl, who
was in the room at the time, hearing a
John Dunn Hunter.—The Xatcliitocl.c?
Courier gives an account of ihe death of
this individual, rendered conspicuous
the author of “Hunter’s Narrative,” pul;,
lished a few years ago in l^»»gland. His
book has been the theme of abundant crit
icism, both in Newspapers and Periodi
cals. He has been pronounced an im
postor, and the charge appears to have
been well supported, although the Nalcli-.
itoches paper is incredulous on that point.
It appears by the account that Iluntei*
was concerned in, if not the prime movcr>
in the late unfortunate attempt torevolu-
tionize Texas. After some of the revo
lutionists had seceded from the attempt,
or had been “seduccd from their faiih,’*
and endeavoring in vai:i to rouse the Iu«
dians to join in the revolt. Hunter set cue
for Nacogdoches to share the fate of his
American friends there, accompanied b\r
two Indians. He stoj)t at a creek to lei
his horse drink, and while thus ungaard-
ed in his security, one of his savage com
panions shot him with a rifle. He had
just previously to the revolution, been to
the city of Mexico, to procure a grant of
lands in Texas. 'Phe government prom
ised to comply with his request, but oa
his return the promise was not complied
with, which appears to have been the
chief cause of the revolt. The editor of
the Courier says that Hunter was ignore
ant that he had been pronounced an im-»
