brought forward as a witness ! A man,

inluHious for the ad\ice for wljich he
^ave, and infamous for his \villin|'ness to
connive at the toi ruption of ihe body of
which he was a swoi n member—-is the
credible witness by whom Cietieral Jack
son stands ready to establish the coirup-
tion of men whose characters were never
onestioned.
Of all tl'.c properties which beloni^ to
honorable men, not one is so hitjhly priz
ed as that of the chariicter. Gen. Jatk-
; on cannot l>e insensible to its value, for
1)0 appears to be most anxious to set
lorth tlie loftiness and purity of his own.
liow has he treated mine? During
xhe dispensation of the hospitalities of
the Hermitage, in the midst of a niixed
company, composed of indivitiuuls frotn
■various States, he permits himself to
make certain staienienis respectint; my
Jricnds and me, which if tiue, w()uid for-
rver dislionor and degrade us. Thr
>»cids are hai-dly passed fio'^n his mouth,
befoi-e they are tonm.iitid to pv.per, by
one of his j;uests, and transmitted in the
form of a letter to another State, where
They are published in a newspaper, and
thence ciiculated tiirou^hout the Union.
And now lie preiends that these state-
jnents were made, ‘‘ withovit any calcula
tion that they were to be thrown into the
public journals.” Does he reprove the in-
dlsLretion of the guest why had violated
ihe sanctity of a conversation at tiie hos
pitable board f Far from it. Tiie pub
lic is credulous. It eannot believe that
General Jackson would be so wanting in
delicacy aiul decorum. The guest ap
peals to him for the confirmation of the
published statements ; and the General
promptly addresses a letter to him in
which he most unequivocally confirms
“(says Mr. C. Bevcj ley) all I have said
*‘ regarding the overture made to him
•‘pending the ksi^.Presideniial election
*• befitre Congress ; and he asserts a great
deal more than he ever told me. ”—I should
be glad lo know if all the versions of the
fale have now mode their appearance,
and whether Gen. Jackson will allege
that he did not “calculate” upon the
publication of his letter of the 6th of
June.
The General states that the unknown
envoy used the terms, “ Mr. Clay’s
1‘ricnds,” to the exclusion, therefore, of
jmyself, but he nevertheless inferred that
he had come from me. Now why did
lie draw this inference contrary \o the
import of the statement which he receiv
ed ? Docs not this disposition to deduce
conclusions unfavora!)le to me manil'est
' the spirit which actuates him ? And
does not Gen. Jackson exhibit through-'
out his letter a desire to give a coloring
to the statemetits of his frifnd, the dis
tinguished member of Congress, higher
than they w ouid justify ? No one should
ever resort to implication but from ne
cessity. Why did he not ascertain from
the envoy if lie had come from me? Was
any thing more natural than '.hat General
Jackson should ascertain the persons who
had deputed the en\oy ? If his shocked
aensibiiity and indignant virtue a?a! pa
trioiism would not allow him to inquire
into th'e particulars, ought he to luve
hozarded the assertion, that I was pi ivy to
the |)roposaI, without assuring bimseH'
of the fact ?—Could he not, alter reject

friendly terms with the oi gan of ii, ba\e

that ihcre may not have beeii some spec
ulations, in the newspapers abfjut that
tin.e, (although I do not i)eiieve that iheic
were tven an) rpcr.ututionfi so early,) as to
the probal>le \ote which I should giv«-;
but I shouKI be gla»i to see any new‘;i):i|)er
which, the second day after early inJan-
uaiy, asserted in its ctdumns, that 1 had
come out “onenly and avowedly in fa
vor of Mr. Adams." I challenge the
produation of such a paper. I flo not
believe my intention so to vote f«jr Mr.
Adams was announced in the newspapers
openly and avowedly during the whole
month of January, or at any rate until
late in the month. The oiily avowal of
my intention to vote lor him, w hich was
pulilicly T«ade in the newspapers, prior
to tiie election, is containeci in my letter
to Judge Brooke, which is dated the28lh
January. It was first published in the
Knquirer at Kirlimond, sonie time in the
ensuing month. I go I'lirilier; I do not
believe any rewspaper at Washington
can be prodin.ed announcing beft>re the;
latter part of J.Miuciiy, ’.he lact, v.hellier
uj)on my avowal or no', of m> inteniion
to vote for Mr. Adams. Gen. Jaikson’s
memory must dec*-i\t him. He must
have confounded events and r.ireuinstan-
ces. His fiiend Mr. (Jeorge Krem**r,
in his lettei to the ('olumbiafi Observer,
bearing date to the C.*:th January, has,
according t« my recollection of the pub
lic prints, a claim to the nirrit of* be
ing the first, or among the first, to an
nounce to tiie public my intended vote.
That letter was first published at I’hila-
delphia and returned in the ('olunibian
Observer to Washington City on the 3 Isi
January. How long before its date that
letier was writfcu for Mr. Kremer, it
does not appear. Whether there be any
connexion between the communication
made by ihe distinguished member of
Congress, and that letier, perhaps Gen.
Jackson can ex[>lain.
At the end of more than two years after
a corrupt overture is made to General
Jackson, he now, for the first time, open
ly proclaims it. It is true, as I have
ascertained since the publication «jf Mr.
Beverley’s Fayetteville letter, the Gener
al has been for a long lime secretly circu
lating the charge. Immediately on the
appearance at Washington of ihat letter
in the public prints, the editor of the
Telegraj)h asseited, in his paper, that
Gen. Jackson had communicated the o-
verture to him about the period of the
election, not as he now states, but accor
ding to iVIr. Beverley’s veision of the tale.
Sincc I left Washington on the 10th ot
last month,! have understood that (ien.
Jackson has made a similar comiiiunka-
tion to several ( ther penons, atdifi'erent
and distani poiniR, W hy has tlie ovei iure
been thus clandestinely circulated ? Was
it through the mtdium of the Telegraph,
lh» leading paper supporting the interest
of Gen. Jackson, and through his other
depositories, the belief of the charge
should be daily and gradually infused ii.-
to the public mind ; and thus contribute
to (he support of his cause ? The leul
and industry with which it has been pro
pagated, the daily columns of certain
newspapers can testify. Finding the
public still unconvinced, has the General
found it to be necessary to come out in
proper person, ihrough the ihin veil of
Mr. Carter Beverley's agency ?
W'hen the alleged overiuie was made,
the election remuiucd undecided. h>
did not (ieneral Jackson then hold up lo
universal scorn atid indignation the in
famous bearer ol’ ihi-. projiosal, and those
who daVed to insult his honor, atid tani-
per with his iiiiegiity ? If he h.»d, ai
that tiiv.e, dencunred all the ii'fati>-»us
partifs conrerned, demanded an iiKjuiiy
in the House of Ueprrsentatives, and es-
ud)lis]u'd, by saiisl'actory proof, the truili

The distresses in the manufactures

with respect to the opinions of that great

He assured his majesty that he is, ‘‘on

which arrived ai the same moment ai
Trieste, is rot explained.
The follov.ing is anoiher extract of a
letier fiom Trieste, dated the Sdof June:
'i'he Acropolis still held out on Uie
If-th of Mav, after the sanguinary defeat
.,f the Greek army. It «as reported ai
Svra that the Gieek Admiral'de Kigny
and Com. Hamilton had arrived at ihe
Pireus for the purpose of obtaining an
honorable capiiulation for the brave de-
fenderscfthe Acropolis, but the Seras-
kier was not disposed lo giant it. No
circumstantial drtails of the unfortunate
events which have taken place under the
walls of Athens are yet known ; it is only
ascertained that the first attack of ihe
Greeks againsi the camp of the Turks
promised ihe most happy result, bui ihe
Seraskier having, during the action, re
ceived a reinforcement of &000 men, the
(ireeks were compelled lo surrender.”
Alas ! il is no longer possible for us to
doubt the defeat of the Greeks before
Alliens, this sad news is confirmed from
all quarters.
It is affirmed that tlie details given in
German journals are incorrect : but it is
two true ihai2.='00 (ireekshave perished.
At the lasi advices, oOOO (ireeks, under
(ien. Chuich, surrounded ihe heights of
Phalorts. On the 16th of May (ten days
afier the defeat of ihe .»reeks) the Acro
polis siill heltl out. It was said ihai 4000
Greeks had marched towards Asomato,
lo ihe north of the Pyreus, in order to
attack the Turks in the rear, whilst the
other corps should attack them in front.
On the 4th, Karaiskaki attacked the
Turks and perished, together with 300
of his men. On the 6ih, the action look
place wiih the troops who had efltcled
a landing of 8000 men,seni by Redschid
Pacha, altackf cl ihem, and the defeat of
the (ireeks was horrible : of rj' Philhel-
lenes, 18 were killed. Lord Cochrane
escaped with difliculiy by swimming to
one of his vessels, and Gen. Church, in
rallying the Greeks, narrowly escaped
capture, 'i'his disaster is the more fa
tal, as the Greeks had, by great exer
tions, embarked a force of 10,000 men
to save Athens that the expedition was
well conducted, and that l^e Seraskier
should have been attacked on both sides
at once. It was the Turkish cavalry that
threw the Cireek ranks into confusion.
All the Greek fleet assisted at the disem
barkation. A very honorable caj)itula-
lion having been offered to the C^reeks
who were shut up in the Acropolis, they
replied that if the Pacha wanted their
arms he should come and take them ; but
that they would only surrender the citadel
with their lives. On the 13th, Lord
Cochrane was seeking reinforcements a-
mong the islands of the Archipelago.
From Bi/cnns .%w.—Tlie brig Sarah,
Ashion, from Rio Grande, which place
"^he left on the llih of June, arrived at
New York on W’ednesday morning.
The Buenos Ayrean army, consisting
of twelve or thirteen thousand men, un
der the command of Gen. A h ear, had
fortified themselves at Bejar, a!)out 40
leagues from Rio Grande. Their ad
vance guard of 2000 cavalry was under
the command of Gen. Lavalega. On the
1st of June aHeiachment of about three
hundred came wiihin 20 miles of Rio
Grande, and carrieil ofl*a large quantity
of cattle, after which they fell back to the
mam army. Since ihe action of the 20th
February, in which the Brazilian forces
were defeated, they had not been able to
bring any collected force fulo the field,
and no n.ovemcnt of any consequence
*had taken place. The Buenos Ayrean
troops behaved well to the inhabitants,
and were joind by some of th«;m. On
the 20th May a part of the former, in
number about 150, were surprised in a
small village, at a distance from the army,
by about 400 Brazilian troops; and after
an obstinate resistance, during which
the Brazilians set fire to the houses in
which they were surprised, 95 surrender
ed or were taken prisoners. The re
mainder refused lo yield, and were.burnt
in the houses. No business wds doing.
Flour was at 7 mil reas, and the market
well supplied. No immediate attack
w.-js apprehended, and the place was well
fortified.

truth of this statement there can be no
doubt, as we are informed, that the Rev.

attended the unfortunate sufferers in their

of their illness. We hope that the kee
