He say, this tract-of country is surpassed by none in point of fertility, and is. of great er extent, than some of the sovereign States of our Union and if reclaimed and put un der; cultivation would support a population of one hundred thousand inhabitants When under cultivation, these land not on ly produce; the largest and most- luxuriant crops of Corn, Cotton, Tobacco, R.ce, Wheat, Potatoes, Hops, Oats,ndio, &c. but are peculiarly adapted to 'the-growth 'of Hemp, and tn the culture of the Vine and Mulberry. When it is recollected . that several hundred thousand dollars are; an nua My sent from tliis State, for the 'pur chase of Cordage for vessels, for Cot tori Bagging, eke, the adaptation of this soil for the production of Hemp, is a weighty argu ment in favor of its reclamation, Mr. Nash is at present engageti in ma king a. survey of the Dismal Swamp. We a n ticipa tea very in teres ti ng Report - from him to the Board of Internal Improvements on this subject. ' ; ; ; ' Mr. Marhley. This gentleman has at length published an address to 'the public, in relation "t the alleged corrupt bargain between Messrs. Adams and . Clay, and in reply to certat statements made by Messrs.

Mr. Markley gives the following reasons for jte publication of his Address -v .Mr. ;tluchair.n, Mr. Isaacs and Mapir aton have thought nroOer to brine- rav name before the public, as-that of a person implicated; or in some way concerned, in an attempt tb, induce General ' Jacksotf to give a .. certain pledge, or. p 'edges,.. as tb a certain appojntment iit would be his dut to make in the event of tus election as President of the Unittd S'ates. One conse quence" of the- publications of these gentlemen has been that they have given rise to k torrent cf abus and calumny, which Jias been directed . gainst me. It is not however fr,the purpose of averting this polluted s' ream, or of noticing those who have cast into ittheir mite of slander, that I sit down - My object 4s of a higher aa. ture a desire to do myself justice-anj, 'as fap as my b st recollection and judgment shall per mit, to spread the truth, and the w hole truth before my fellow-citizens. I do not hope by any; tiling I can say, however satisfactory and conclusive, to propitiate any of my enemies, personal' or political ; nor shall-1,-"-" for tliat, or any other purpose, -Jurn from a Jull and fair ex amination or such prts of the letters of the gen tlemen wha have imposed upon me this unplea sant duty. As refates to myseltV r cou Id have wished to have been soared this appeal, bid it i no lonirer a matter of choice?- .1 migh have been persuadt-d to perniitthe errors and .in.Hc'e.u'f racies of Mr. Hue1 an n and .-Mr Isaacs, arising from .a want of rec- llection, to pass unnoticed ; and, from a desire to be; at peace I might even have been content to overlook their unkindness; but, wtienrMajor Eaton, 'on their shewing j pre- sumes to call me ".-the negotiator, in hat he represents to be a corrupt, transaction, I am im perati vely;"bound to speAk, and I will speak that which I do know to b true.
