■Inccd by Mr. M-tuguin, who called upon the think of choosing a King,

ittslry . _
Belgium nnd Poland. Tim r hidlongo wus ac
cepted, and an interesting and important dis
cussion was the consequence. Mr. Mauguin
used die Ministry with betraying the Belgians
t s the Holy Alliance—with interfering with
them in the choice of a King, end in their dar
ling project of reuniting their country to
France, This was the inuro ungracious, be
muse ilia Belgians’ cnly fault was their having

mains yet to be decided;—as implying want of
unity at so great a crisis, is ut bast discouraging
and ominous.

aitticaUrt adjustment between Poland and Rus
sia is at an end.
According to the Warsaw Gazette, tin* Rus

Tlte President of the Senate of Cracow is

A Berlin paper states that there is nn ultra-
revolutionary parly in Warsaw, and it is said
owing to its influence tho insurgents already
imitated Franco in declaring slionuelves hide
oeudent. He also inculpated thorn with re
spect to Poland. General Sebastiani made a

trio, in saving them Irom invasion by the troops

dor—securing them European neutrality, upon
tho simu footing with the Swiss, nnd in flue,
making common- cause with them against the
family of Kings. He denied tint tho Belgians
were unanimous in wishing for a union with
France, and argued that the part whiclt ho had
t tken with respect to the Dnko of Lonchten-
berg savoured more of friendly admonition than
national intervention. France had large claims
upon Belgian gratitude, md it was not taking
tot* groat a liberty to require a voice, particu
larly when referred to, as to the form of tov-
<5r,intent whiclt so near a neighbour ought to
nfstf.no. Poland was 400 leagues distant from
France, and nothing was to be done for it but
through tho medium of a Continental war, for
whiclt Franco was not anxious, though not un
prepared. These urgumunts woro rc-ccheud
by the Minister of war. General Lafiiyetto
maintained that Franco ooglit to adhere to the
ItroaJ principle of protest against all interna
tional intervention, and ought to enforco it at all

if Franco was disputed to tako Belgium under

Mr. James A. Hamilton of N'oiv York gives the
following explanation of tlte circumstances and
motives, which led him to inquire of Mr Calhoun,
whether, i t the cabinet consultations of 1813, a
motion had been made to arrest General Jackson:
"On my voyage d. ring the winter of 1887 and

with General Jackson and his suite, there was

advised. The expression wits also public and
common soon after, that Mr. Monroe was en
gaged in the composition of a book the ten
dency of which would confirm the prejudices
so industriously circulated against General
J tekson at that time for political purposes.
About this period a member of Congress
uuclosed to General Jackson a copy uf a letter
purporting to bo from Mr. Monroe to Air. Cal
houn (confidential,) tho object of which was to
induce Mr. Calhoun to enter into a friendly
correspondence with tho General, nnd draw
from him an acknowledgement that in his oper

wished to make of him as above stated, and reques

ty to do soirom Air Crawford)—after advising
with a very honorable anti discreet friend, icsidiog
in the same house, as to the propriety of doing so,
I requested an interview with Air. Calhoun, w hich
was granted. (I may hero be permitted to say,
that I never saw or heard of the letter written by
Mr. Crawford to Mr. Balcli. until it was published;
and (bat 1 had not the slightest knowledge of the
coarse Air. Calhoun had i.onsi icred it his duty to
pursue in the cabinet on die occasion referred to:
on <he contrary, the impression I h id received from
those coDverraiions was, that Mr. Calhoun was in
favor of. auil Mr. Crawford was adverse to, Gen.
Jackson.) When we met. I ashed Mr. Calhoun
“whethci, at any meeting of Air. Alonrae's cabinet,
the propriety ut arresting General Jackson, for any
thing done by him during the Seminole war. had

plied—“Never: such a measure was not thought

From the IVishington City Globe, 2d insl.
Air. Calhoun is ondeavoring to supply, by
■iis subtleties, something to take tlm place of
proof, to give probably to tho ,l Jout and cor-
ruyt conspiracy” which he has charged on the
P- Hsideitt and his friends, that he may himself
escape .‘Xposure. M>. Van Burcn was accus-
I without a shadow of proof, of hnviog pru-
cured the. submission of Mr. Crawford’s letter
o the President to excite his hostility against
■ he Vice President. Mr. Van Buren has so
lemnly declared that he knew nothing of the
riirumstaBCM which produced this result, and
.it is given tlte most positive assurance that he
tiad not the least knowledge of the efforts made
l»v tho friends of General Jackson to obtain
information in relation to the proceedings of
Mr. Aluiiroe’s cabinet, or any subsequent par
ticipation'in tho matter. He nppeuls fearless
ly loth* Presideqt—to Mi. Hamilton—to Mr.
Forsyth—to Air. Lewis—“to all who have
been actors in tito admit.??*! transactions,” for
the correctness of his declarations: And tin is
sustained in bis statement by every m in con
nected with the affair. Does' Air. Calhoun
come out then with proof to meet a declara
tion so explicit, so unreserved, and s» sustain
ed! Nut an atom. He coines out with noth-
which Alt. Calhoun was authorized to forward
if ho approved it—this was received.
The member of Congress who enclosed to
Ten. Jackson the copy of this letter from Mr.
Monroe to Mr. Calhoun, ut tho same time in
fo, mod him that he understood it was done
with the consent of^Ir. Calhoun; and that the
original would be placed in his hands by tho
same person who had handed him the copy.
General Jackson afterwards received the ori
ginal from the hands of a friecd as Ito had al
ways understood of Air. Calhoun, as ndvised in
tho letter of tho member of Congtcss.
General Jackson having always understood
Air Calhoun to have been his supporter
throughout the proceedings of tho Seminole
war, and believing him a high minded and
tonorable man, naturally inferred that this dis-

son, which has been recently published.
Gen. Jackson had no wish to excite puli;,
feeling, or produce political effect through #,
and did not, therefore, desire that publini
should be given to it. Bnt Ito fell it due bod
to Mr. Calhoun and Mr. Crawford, and abut
himself, that an explanation should lake ;ihq
nnd tho difficulties arising from confliciia
statements, become thoroughly understood..
Gen. Jackson and Mr. Crawford hail b«,
alienated in friendship befoio the Sorninok
war. Mr. Ciatvford had predicated an lriitli
in an Indian treaty, and made grants to the In
dians, upon tho supposition that they hrJlisei
despoiled of their property by the army coat,
tnanded bv Gen. Jackson. No such iiijuait
had been committed, and Geo. Jackson rt
sented the wrong done to himsolf and the ira
by a treaty implicating their character, trithor
as he thought, sufih-.iom euro being taken 1
obtain proof ef the real slute of facts. Wbi
the Seminole question arose, Gen. Jurist
was the more readily induced to attribute ib
attacks made on him to Air. Crawford,
because of this previous difference. Nil-
withstanding this, tho wife of Gencml Let-
son hud still maintained an interenuru it
kindness with the family of Air. Crawford, end
after tlte election of 1825 in the House of Rt
resentatives, for President, had taken pin
and while Air. Crawford was prostratod by dir|
ease, Gen. Jackson was prevailed upon to pul
a. visit to him, os au earnest thht ho was pil

of friends, and marked, on tho part of “
Crawford, by tho deepest sensibility.
By the recent letter, received by Genenll
Jackson from Air. Crawford, a state'of ho
was presented, going to show on tho one hand,
that the General had lung condemned in
heart, an innocent man for the efforts mtdetij
destroy his chatacter os a patriot, and twu
his laurels ns a soldier. On the other l»i
