CRAWFORD. Clerk , Clerk’:*Office, August 33. GEORGIA. Peterjlurg, September 4, 1802. Mr. Smith, i TO avoid imputations which may be nude in consequence of the publication of private quarrels, it is deemed necessary to Hate the rcafon which amhorifes the re qaeff that you will give publicity to the following correspondence. In your paper of the 12th June, capt. Van Alen Hated, that in the affair be tween himfelf and Mr. Tait, Mr. Dooly was confultcd, and that he, Mr. Dooly, gave it as his decided opinion, that Mr. Tail ought not to be noticed by him, on account of not being on the footing of a gentleman. That Haiement being public, renders it proper that the consequences which have rcfulted therefrom should be like wile so. WILLIAM W. 8188. No. 1. July 26,. 1802. Sir —ln a publication in the AnguHa Chronicle of the 12. h tilt. Mr. Van A len has Hated, that in the affair between him and myfelt you wete confultcd, and that you gave it as your decided opinion, that 1 ought not to be noticed by him, on account of my not being on the foot, ing of a gentleman. I now call on you to know whether the flatement of Mr. Van Alen, with refpedt to the opinion which he has laid you gave, is correct or not. 1 am, See. C. 'FAIT. 'John M. Dooly , E/q. No. 2.

Some of these gentlemen I know to be your friends and acquaintances, and you, no doubt, are thereby poffelfcd of my opinion, which I never meant ro disguise. Bur, fir, I can inform you, that no call you can make will effect your objedl. NotwithHanding my opinion has never been disguised, yet your demands will never extract it from me. 1 am, &c. J. M.

It was firfl announced to me through the medium of the press. As your answer seems predicated on the prin ciple that I am already acquainted with the truth or faifehood of Mr. Van Alen’s flatement, and as this is not the case, I trufl you will be more explicit on this fub jcd. 1 am, Sec.
