It was to be hoped, that the fed era lifts iattead of attaching any In our paper of the 8th inflant wc Itated that mr Hobby was “ furnilh- j ing evidence in an extra fteet of mr | Madifon’s watte of public money, l &c.” We have fince learned that | this information, although it was received from the molt refpe£table fource, was incorrect; ihat the gen tleman from whom we received it was himfclf mifintormed. It af fords us peculiar pleafure to correct this mifiatement, becaufe we wifn t» pafs nothing upon our readers but what is fadtioned by the (trictelt ad herence to redtitude ; and lealt of all, would we do injultice to mr Hobby, who is avowedly our polit ical enemy. While however, we make this correction, we conceive it very im material, as ii relates to the iadt, the evidence alluded to, although not furnilhed in an extra flieel, was produced with great triumph in his next paper.
