Me published, a few days since, a cor respondence between Mr. Stevenson, the American Minister to England, mid Mr. O'Connell, shew ing that a difference which had existed between them had been ar ranged. Annexed to tfiat correspond ence was a letter from Gen. Hamilton, ad dressed to Mr. Kitchie, giving a detail of the circumstances connected with the af fair, but evidently written under great ex citement, and in a style and temper which could not meet the approbation of his countrymen, and we therefore would not insert it in our columns. That, on reflec tion, Gen. 11. would regret having written in the manner he did, we had not a doubt and we feel pleased to see that lie readily acknowledges his impropriety, as will In seen by the following letter: To the Editor of t/ir AY tv 1 ork (inzith : Sir—On my arrival in this city a lew days since from England, 1 met the pub lication of a letter I addressed from I,on don to Mr. Ritchie, the Editor of the Richmond Enquirer, bearing date loth Aug., giving a brief account of the late attack of Air. O'Connell on the Ameri can Minister and America, at the anti slavery meeting, at Brirningham on the first of that month. Although I placed at Mr. Ritchie’s op tion the privilege of publishing that letter or not, as he might deem proper, I wished it to be distinctly understood, tlint In: hud my authority for doing so, and I re gret that this should have either been ques tioned, or the authority of the communi cation itself. My principal object, how ever, in making this declaration, i- to have it likewise distinctly understood, that I wrote the letter to which I refer without the knowledge or connivance of Mr. StcvensonNu the smallest particular, as lie would be utterly tincnpahln alter accept ing an accommodation at the hands of an adversary of covertly questioning the truth on which it was founded. As, however, 1 liore no relation to Mr. O’Connell of any kind, either personal or official, as I neither saw him or took to him any message, verbal or otherwise, 1 conceive that 1 had a clear right to make what commentation 1 thought proper on a public correspondence, which appeared in the public gazettes. My letter was written in great haste and under a peculiar excitement, whu h shall hereafter he explained. If there fore I indulged in a tone of abuse too much in the vein of Mr. O’ConneH’s own lan guage to his opponents, 1 admit it w as un worthy of my country and myself, and cannot but express my regret, if such lan guage has given pain even to the most ( t astidious of my fellow citizens, as 1 con ceive it is the duty of the humblest man who goes abroad to feel that the charac ter of liis own country is somewhat in his own custody, while absent from his home. I desire it however to be equally explic itly understood, that I specially except Alr. O’Connell from the benefit of this expla nation, as I have no apology to make to him after his atrocious assault on our country, on the occasion to which ! have referred. That he has no such claim, I shall make sufficiently manife-t, in a com munication 1 propose addressing to Mr. Ritchie at a moment of greater leisure, in redemption of the pledge which I made in inv letter of the loth August, when 1 promised that gentleman I would obtain, at Birmingham, the proofs of the false hood of which Mr. O'Connell had been guilty, to exempt himself from a direct responsibility to .Mr. Stevenson for his most extraordinary and unjustifiable out rage on that gentleman. 1 Img leave dis tinctly to disavow all intention, in mv letter to Mr. Ritchie, to treat the people of Ireland with the smallest contumely or disrespect. 1 cherish for their genius and courage too high an admiration, and for their sufferings and misfortunes too sincere a sympathy, for one in-taut to entertain a feeling so entirely opposed to all the associations and attachments of my early life. 1 remain, very respectfully, votir oblig ed obedient servant, .1.

Mirror publishes tiic folio wing let ter from Grant Thorburn: Jt is forty years this tiny since the \e!- Jotv fever burst out in almost every house, street, lane, and by-path of thiscilv. it seemed to me, at the time, like the burst ing of bombs and tiring of rockets in n place of siege. Ten cases in one street: seven in another: one friend whom you sty >v 'veil forty-eight hours before, now dead: another, with whom you conversed, in apparent health at seven, P. Af. is among the new cases reported next morning’ Death, fear, and dismay were stamped on every countenance. i’rom the fourth of: July to the fourteenth of August, thetlier-; mometer ranged about the same degree of heat that we have felt this season. About the middle of July a few cases of yellow fever were noticed in John, Cliff, and Gold streets. Tte facts were kept from the public as much as possible; but, in the mean time Death was leading up Ins sure and solemn dance in the highways and i>ywavs; and, as it was the custom to toll the bells at funerals in those days, the knelt* Jor the departed kept sounding from morning till night, in the ears of the living, which kept those timorous mortals who start »nd shrink at the sight of a dead man’s skull in mortal terror. To remedy ' 1 ' ! itl'tt ‘ this evil, the corporation put a stop to the tolling of bells for the dead, which law is in force at this day. To return to the fourteenth of August, 1798. That morning, at five o'clock, it began to rain. I was at work making nails. So fast and so thick did the rain descend, that 1 was compelled to quit work by seven o’clock, as the rain pour ed down the chimney so as to put out the fire, although I stood blowing mv black smith's bellows for some minutes, to see whether fire or water would conquer. About ten the raining ceased: the sun broke through the clouds with a vehement lieat about twelve; the cellars were full and the low grounds flooded. The city was like one vast steam bath, it was now that death seemed to look in at every window. Ail was confusion, terror and dismay. Doctors, chairs, dead, and sick, every machine with wheels re moved the living and the dead lumber. Every slip, sloop, and wharf; cverv line and outlet to the city crow ded w ith the kune, tin: halt and the blind, from the old man of eighty to the stripling of seven years old. tear giving them .quid, .and death at their heels. Many of them died in the villages and hamlets around; hut it was noticed as a fact, that none of the country people at whose houses tk.ev died evt r took the disease. After the emigration erased, a ccn-:is was taken of the remaining few; I think they amounted to about fifteen thousand three hundred. Os these, upward of three thousand died of the liver. The first of November brought a heavy fall of snow, under cover of which the refugees returned as l ist as they had fled; hut,not withstanding the severe weather, many di ed of yellow lever alter their return.

The fid regiment were in advance, and through the whole line of this body the villain (breed Ins way, and partly through the ninth regiment, winch followed next in order. Before his course was stopped one dragoon’s horse was knocked down, and the rider dangerously woundeil by the fall. i he excitement among the troops and citizens around was dreadful—all order and subordination was lost, and the mem rushed to the. scene from all points.

Shocking Occurrence. Mr. Lcgraiid Porter was accidentally shot at his resi dence in Campbell county, on the night of the -'2oth inst ~ by Win. Freeland Pend leton. The circumstances which led to this lamentable catastrophe are mysteri ous. For several nights previous to the fatal occurrence, some unknown persons had been throwing stones at and around the house of Air. Porter. In order to discover the perpetrators, Mr. Pendleton and Mr. Davenport took their gnus and commenced shooting as they thought, in the direction from which the stones came. Mr. Porter, (who was blind from his youth,) being very much irritated at the- conduct of the unknown persons who were throwing the stones, directed Pendleton (who was his over eer) to shoot wherever he heard a stone fall. — He (Pendleton) accordingly, leaving Mr. Porter and Mr. Davenport in the house, went into oik: of the negro houses: and while there, accusing the negroes of throw ing the stones, the deceased and Mr Da venport left the house, and stood near the chimney of the dwelling, the right arm of Davenport I ring on the left shoulder of t:.e it c.e :sed. A- Pendleton approached tin; dwelling house, not more than ten steps from Porter, hr heard a stone fall, cud immediately tired hi- gun at random, and it being very dark, its contents were lodged in the body of Mr. 1 Porter, just be hind the hone ol the hit breast.

JOHN MOFFAT. Genera] remarks relatirc to .Moffat’s I.ifc Pills and Phtenix Hitters. These medicines have long been known and appreciated, for their extraordinary and imme diate p overs of restoring perfect health, to per sons suffering under nearly every kind of dis ease* to which tin* human frame is liable. In many hundreds of certificated instances, they.have even p ;; *ued sufferers from tfie very verge ol' an untimely grave, after all the de eept.ve nostrums of tin* day had utterly failed ; and t" many thousands they have permanent ly secured f hat uniform enjoyment ol’health, without w hich hit* itself is hut a partial bless ing. So great, indeed, has tli n* eiucaov inva riably and infallibly proved, that it lias appear ed scarcely less to those who were unaeuu i.tited with the beautifully philo sophical pnu iples upon which they are com pounded. and upon which they consequently act. It w;*.« to their in .niicst and sensible ac tion m purifying tin* springs and channels of I.lc and enduing them w ilh renewed tone and vigor, iliet they were indebted for their name, whom was lie,!owed upon them at the sponta neous request of several individuals whose lives they hud obviously saved. Tile proprietor rejoices in the opportunity afforded by the universal diffusion of the daily press, for placing bis VEGETABLE LIFE FILLS with n the knowledge and teach ofev cry individual in the community. Unlike the host of p rnicious quackeries, which boast of vegetable ingredients, the Life Pills are purely and soi. ii.v vm. l. i aulk, and contain neither Mercury. Antimony. Arsenic, nor any oilier mineral, in any form whatever. They are en tirely composed of extracts from rare and pow erful plants, the virtues of which, though long known to several Indian tribes, and recently to some eminent pliarmact utical chemists, are altogether unknown to the ignorant pretenders to medical science; and were never before ad ministered in so happily efficacious a combina tion. Their first operation is to loosen from the coats of tlie stomach and bowels, the various impurities and crudities constantly settling a round them : anil to remove the hardened tic ices which collect in the convolutions of the small iutest in s. Other medicines only par tially idealise these, and leave such collected masses bell slid, as to pr< dure habitual costive ness. with all its train id evils, or sudden diar rhoea. with its iiumim nt dangers. This fact is w ell known to all regular anatomists, who ex aminine the human bowels alter death: and hence the prejudice of these well informed men against the quark mod vines of the age. The second edi ct of the V F< i ETA ISLE LIFE FILLS is to cleanse til” kidneys and the blad der, and by this means, the liver an 1 the luivs. the healthful action of which entirely depends upon the regularity of the urinary nriraus The blood, which takes its red color from the agency of the liver and the lungs before it parses into the heart, being thus purified by tiieni. au'.l nourished by tooil tuii»rnr from a clean stomach, courses freely through the veins, n news every part of the system, and triumphantly mounts the banner of health in the blooming cheek. i ‘ic Ldlow iug are among the distressing* va- 1 r,. f, of human diseases, to which the Vegeta-1 bie Life Fills are well known to be infallible : Di SFKFSIA. by thoroughly cleansing the first and second stomachs, creating a (low of pure healthy bile, instead of the stale and a end k.nd.— I'.otulcury, Vulpitation of the Heart, l.'.ss of .dpfrtite.

The LIFE} PILLS have been know'll to cure Rheumatism permanently in three weeks, and Gout in half the time, by re moving local inflammation from the muscles and ligaments of the joints. Dropsies of all hinds, by freeing and strengthening the kid neys and bladder; they operate most delight fully on these important organs, and hence have ever been found a certain remedy for the worst cases of Gravel. Also, Worms, by dislodging from the turnings of the bowels the slimy matter to which these creatures adhere; Asthma and Consumption, by relieving the air vessels of the lungs from the mucus, which even slight colds wall occasion, which if not removed becomes hardened, and poduces those dreadful diseases. Scurry, Ulcers, and Inreteratc Sores, by the perfect purity which these Life Pills give to the blood, and all the humors; Scorbeittr, Eruptions, and Bad Ctrm plerions by their alterative effect upon the fluids that feed the skin, the morbid state of which occasions all Erupticc complaints, Sal low, Cloudy and other disagreeable Complex ions.
