An examination of the contrivance Itself, (Doc. B. p. i
99) with an extract from a letter »liicli I have lately!
received liom th«> gent email concerned, («eo D.) will
explain and expose this fraud upon the public as it de
serves.
rile last charge of our Secretary »as that I had hcen
in tti- habit of making extravagant requisitions, or drafts
upon the Department,for more money tlran was irant
i'tg fur tile service heir, for some yeais he fere my re
moval; mid that, in particular, I t ad made overdrafts of
this kind between the 1st of May and 5th August, 1821),
“amounting to about $53 427 03;*' to which my answer
whs, (hat I litiver had made any such overdrafts, at any
time, nr to any amount; ami that, in fact, fioiu the na
ture ol the case, it was almost impossible that 1 could
have done so, as “my requisitions had always been made
in the usual amt regular manner presetll»cd by (lie Na
vy Department, on estimates amt t ills of particu
lars, furnished, for the mo«t part, by the Commanding
Odicer o! tile Navy Yard, (though sometimes only by
myself,) specifying the objects for which the money
was wanting; and that my requisitions themselves had
been invariably signed and approved by him.” (I
should have added, also, that with the exception of
those for “pay” only, they had, morever, always been
examined afterwards by the hoard of Navy Commission
,’t«, and approved by them, before they were submitted
to the Department.) And 1 flintier expressed my be
hp( that (tie whole money called lor by my requisitions
between the 1st of May and oth of August, 1829. had
actually boon sent down by the Department, to myself,
and others here, to he paid away on account of them.
Now., our Auditor attempts to siippor' his honorable col
league it; this charge against mo, and says: “For the
extravagance of his requisitions lor money upon the
Navy Department prior to his removal, he makes an ef
fort to cast the responsibility upon the Captain of the Yard
who approved tli hi A' that time in >sf men had im
plicit confidence in Mr. King’- integrity and accuracy.
One Captain of the Navy ren'tind to ap; rove bid*

(' ere he rep«»t« his refuted slander on Com. Sinclair,) I
” '• i- not surprising, thercfme, that another confided j
in tii« estimates am! siitnoved Ids requi ition«, before n
breath of suspicion had reached him." This i« kind
ind-eti - to the Captain of the Yard— and shews Imw
ami i ly one accommodating A uli'or can absolve a friend
horn ob-erving those rrgula ion* o( tin* seivice which
he ran enforce with such mar id severity against nno
ther. Hut lie lorg*t«, apparently, that the estimates on
which my requisitions were founded were made, as I
hive sta'cd, “ for the most par*,” hy the Captain of the
5 ard himself. Ami a’lhongh I have n-vsr sought *• to
f't’f the reepsusihi i y,” upon dial cfTtcer, 1 cannot enn
rent fo have him released from his joint responsibility
wi'h me, in tills way. merely hi oblige him —and espe
cially w hen it is well known that there lias never been
any par tieular connexion between the Commodore and
myself, whatever correspondence there may he be
tween him am! our Auditor.— Hut it i« really a ma ter
of n* moment n heftier 1 have to answer the accusation
alone, or not; for it i» evidently without the slightest
foundation in fact, a* i can easily shew Irom nnr Audi

them right.

Now, correct the statement as follows: First, strike
out llte debit of $2-8,572 85, because it was drawn for
betore 5th May, the first date of the period of our inqui

the same sum paid by me before the 5'h May,on accounts
embraced in that requisit'on; Secondly, give me credit
for the sum of about $17 I,()()() (inclutling Ihe $ 10,000

said requisitions between the 5th of May and the llfii

credit to-an additional sum remitted to Mr Fitzgerald,
on account of my said requisition, $9,970, and lor an
other additional sum remitted to Mr. Lcgrand nbout §9,

the French army had remained for four day* immova

h*s been inteipretrd in a different manner; and the
Agt o( A'gi-rs, who marched at tlie head of tlie iniHlia,
had thought that an attack would g ve him some chan
ce* ol sneer**. Ratteiie* erected the day before, be

good reception. On Ihe If) h, at day-hreek, the ene
my's army tdvauced in a line much more extended than
the front of our position; >mt their greatest effirt* were
directed against the brigade* Cloret an 1 Achard. Tlii*
was the plica where tlie Tuiki«h militia were. The
attack was made with much resolution Some Jannis
sarie* penetrated into Ihe trenches which covered the
front ol our battalions—they met their death. The third
brigade of tlio division ol Bartliezone, am! the two first
brigades ol 'lie division of Loveido, were attacked by the
contingents of Constantins and Oran. Aft r having suf
fer'd tli* enemy to advance to ih* lion-mi ol ill* ravin*
which covered ihe pnsitio , G-nersI Lover.!o charged
them at tlie point of the bayonet. Mtny of the Arab
in'an'ry were killed. After having repulsed the ene
ntv, ihe htigade ol Clouet returned the otFonnive. The
ardour c.f the troop* wa* such that it woul I have been
difficult to restrain them. The htigade* of Achard and

of Clouet. Tim deci*ive moment wa* come. 1 order

rapidity. In spile of Ihe difficulties of (he ground, the
artillery, which wa* all of the new mndrl, wa* always
in the first line. It* extreme mobility must have
grea'ly contributed to the terror ol (he rneinv In the
opinion ol all those who to.ik part in the battle of Siro
tieli, the question between the ancient and Ills new
system will appear decid'd. The fire ol the balletic
which the enemy had erected, in pirt of his r imp, did
not slop onr troop* for a moment. The eight bra** gun*
in them, were t*k*n by Ihe 20 h rveiment of the line
The Tmks and Arab* had taken flight in all dir«rlion*.
—Their camp fell into our power; lour hundred lent*
were standing; those of the Aga of A'gier*, ot the Rev*
of Constantins and Titeri, are very magnificent. We
found a considerable quantity of powd*r and hall maga

one hundred camel*, which will add to our mean* o'

Ih* conduct ol the troops of all arm* ha* answered

Paris. June 30.—Th*r* is not a word of new* to
day worth troubling you with, beyond ilia fact that
the accoun** received from tile departments continue
'o show a vast increa-e of the Lib ral force proved by
the elections. For this extraordinary result Ministers
w r* not prepared; they will, nevertheless, a'tempt
to hold their places; we shall soon see with what
success.
Respecting agriculture, it may not he uninteresting
'o you to learn that the letter* brought to Pari* by this
dav’s mail, from the corn districts, speak’ more favora
bly of th- aopearanre* of th* croo«; but in those from
most parts of Burgundy, *nd hirthcr south war I, the
ino*t melancholy anticipation* are expressed of the ap
proaching vintage, from the eff-ct« of (lie co'd and inces
sant rains of th* last 4 or 5 weeks.
In the neighbourhood of Paris lei* injury has !>e»n
done hy the rain* and tempest* than in lh« depirt
inents; hut I *tn sorry to *ay the season, as compared
with others, is unhealthy. Aware ol Ibis fact, and
wishing to diminish the exciting circumstances, (lo
vernment have directe I measures for increasing th«
•upplv of wa'er for clean-ing the stroe's; nevertheless
very many nl them still suggest very powerfully to the
passenger Hi* ire*enc*of pre-disposing causes of lever,
almost unknown in London.
A serinn* *ff*y had eccnr»d at Limerick, in which
the populace had risen a d p'und-red the provision

were lost, hcf.ire they w-re dispers'd. The subject
wa* taken up in tho hotl-e of lord*, and Ihe Duke ol

led the "periodical starvation ol the !ri«h” lo Ihe scar

of L'metick attributed it to the circulation of hifiamma
to*v handbills; hut (he noble disputant* present incl ti
ed *o the opinion that some provision ought to be made
for a Starving population, beside* those of tuili'ary
government and edicts against military association*.
The Courier savs that hl« M 'j-ely has taken the tar

HICHMO.X D. FRIDAY. AUtlUsT IS
Debates of the Virginia Convention.—'I'lio last sheet
is m the hands of the Coinposi’ors, and the work will
l»c published in «he course of the month. The principal
cause of the delay, has been the unexpected size of the
volume—making more than nine hundred pages, when
t >e original estimate was not more than (100!—It will co»n
pi iznall the resolutions, projets, votes, &c. exclusive of
the Deiate*—thus constituting as romplste a /sumal
of all the Proceedings, ss well as a Register of the
Speeches, as could be collected. Many of the Speeches
have been re-touched—several have never yet been pub
lished.—This annunciation is given lor the information
ot gentlemen at a distance, who we trust will be so good
as lo excuse us from a special answer to their several
enquiries.
THE FORtiKD LtTl'KR.
Our rentiers w ill excuse us for the further notice which
w c take ol this mysterious production. We see the u»«
winch Ins heen uiatlc of it hy the fiiends of Mr. Clay,
and which they are still making of it. We beg the read
er s w‘te:.tioii to a few lacts, and then let them say,
w hether we are not only justified, but imperiously re
qiiireU, by the respect we owe to the cause of truth a*
well as lo (he character of Mr. Jefferson, to silt th*
matter to the bo:lorn, and sd ip the authors and con
scious circulators, of the mask which they have
assumed. We are impressed with the firm he
''e|. 11 19 » forgery—a second Edition of tho
.!r~.V"!>rc di*Kraceful mamruvre than even
the CoHm Hand-bills—and under this conviction, nothing
shn I prevent us from doing our best to "place the whip
in the hands ol overy honest man, and lash the rascal
naked through the World."
Mark tho time at which this spurious production war
sent forth-just before the 4th ol July, w hen it might
serve as the theme of many a Clay Oration, ami tlio
text of many a Clay Toast. A toast in honor of “on*
*" . ®. .,,,°:t talented and brilliant men and statesmen
that this country lias ever produced" (l thank thee,
*dl. te*chmg me that name!) was wove out of it
m tins City. A similar toast was given at other places.
At the “(.rent Republican Celebration” hy the discon
tented politicians of Washington, w here "the honor of
II. Clay w as artfully combined with “the Anniversary
or Independence,” Mr. Seaton, President of the Day
alter a pompons eulogiutn upon Mr. Clay (fiom MrV
Seaton too,!) concluded w ith the following Toast:
''By the VummiUtt of ArrangtmtnU—lloniy Clay, of whom
I homas Jotfcr.on said. •• his csrerr tliu, f«r in life 11,, been a Ct
rcor of glory ; and lio ha, achieved that lor Iti. country, whilst eu
Bngo.l Ot Itur CHUIO, w hteh would urnainnit the brightest nines in
lliu o.cutchcuti ol the most favored statesman of any ago ur nation.”
1 ms toast (says the N. Intelligeucer) “elicited cntliu
■ a*il? cl,eeri"Ks ” Not upon any sentiment ever uttered
hy 1 homas Jellerson, hut one palmed upon the people by
S. 8. South worth. Will Mr. Seaton, or will the Com
mittee of Arrangements now manfully come forward
ami disclaim tlie *h*'iinctul imposition.'
Hot the effect of this manoeuvre is not even to be sus
pended by the suspicion of its being a forged paper._
Ileie is tliu Resolution ot a Coalition Convention in tho
State of Maine, held lor the nomination of a Governor.
1 he -Mooting is said to have consisted of 8 or 1000 per
sons. The notorious Mr. John Holmes prepared the ad
dress and the other U. S. Senator, Mr. Sprague,
harangued tho meeting. And then this Convention
adopts (list fallowing Resolution:
“ Kr.'olted, Thai in soaking relief frhm the dangerous and alarm

with tlie friond. of Union, Liberty, and tho Constitution in s.ery

ol Kentucky, in whom we rni-ognizs a veteran republican both in
name nnd principle, in profession and pinctice. Unvote raised
himself from obscurity by the fo.ee of In. own genius—his eloquent
voice and energetic mind have ever boon devoted lo the cause of
human freedom—and lii. public service, pre-eminen'ly entitle him
to the confidence sndalToctioii i.rtl.o people-and we concur in the
sentiment of .Mr. Jcfritr.on, ezprceeed by Jilin in IdiEt, in tlie fol
lowing words: we " hopo to see him hold the place of Chief Es
•cutivo ol thn Amencmi
Ihit we have a mot e wretched example before us of the
trick* of the party. The last Literary Subaltern con
tains a singular addrass front a Judge Martin to “An
drew Jackson, President ot the U. S.”_the object of
which is seriously to dissuade him from serving his
country fora second term. He assigns no other objec
tion to his re-election—but in the canting stylrf of a par
tizan, or the wild enthusiasm if a fanatic, fells O'en.
