May not the inclination to conceal this long
delay in doing public jiiHlicc. have prompted
Mr. Ingham to irtvo his record the date of

In Ins letter to Col. Johnson, dated the7th

‘What public Journal has (list -rhed tilts ques
tion J What public Journal firat asserted
that tho Provident sought to impose on
Messrs. Berrien, Ranch, and Ingham, the
condition of submitting their family affairs to
his control, at* the piieo of their continuance
in their eniployineiils!—What public Journal,
idler having annoyed the cares of the people
for months, with the clamor of the inaligp
influence, at lust called on Col. Johnson to
prove the assertions tnut it made ! Was it
not tho Telegraph, und has it not given agnin
am) ugain the version which Mr. Berrren now
gives us, of the dissolution of the Cabinet J
And let us ask who prompted that press,
which is known to bu the organ of the disaf
fected portion of the lute Cabinet 1 The
prompters wore Messrs. Berrien anil Ingham.
They woro closeted repeatedly with tins Edi
tor while engaged m propagatm* tluiir ver
sion of the tranw iclion, land preparing the
public mind for the reception of* their own
account of it. Ho was continually udmon-
Ulung the imbhc by the signs of his Tele
graph, that these gentlemen would presently
conic out to m; ke good the charge which lit!
was so solicitous to establish against the
President. They have nt last come out to
make good, hy their own evidence, their own
accusation, whit li they themselves preferred
through their organ, tho Telegraph. They
are tho plaintiffs in tins case—tlm Editor of
the Telegraph I heir attorney, and Col. John
son was tlie witiiecH upon whose testimony
they were to recover damages—upon hisevi-
dece they hm e been nbn-suited!! And vvliat
next? .
.Mr. Berrien now takes the case out of tin!
hands of las attorney, Mr. Green, undertakes
to file Ids own declaration, and plead his own
cause in the opposition colunfns of tlie lead
ing Clay newspaper, and by a most unjustifia
ble stratagem, brings in his late partners,
Messrs. Brunch nnd liiglmm, os witnesses to
defeat their own evidence by impeaching the
veracity of the individual whom they have
called as a witness; one whom tliev admit
ted to In* a common friend, impartial and dis
interested—immediately ami personally con-
versant with all tlu circumstances—intimate
with i'n! private views entertained by the
President on the subject,’and the umpire who
so successfully interposed to settle the diffi
culties and reconcile the disagreeing mem
bers of the Cabinet. After the Telegraph
had reiterated tho' statement so frequently,
and vouched it. by intiinitiiig that his allega
tions would be sustained by the three Ex-
Secretaries, lie then ventured to point to a
member of Congrers, ns having pressed the
demand on those gen ; lemon by the authority
nf iho President. It is not im probable' that
tho managers of this bu.-dness, persuaded
themselves that ’.lie formidable array of three
to one, would prevent Col. Johnson from dis
avowing the agency imputed to him. Mr
Berrien himself endeavoured to defeat the
cHbct of the contradiction in the Globe, hy
insisting thu. it was unauthorized : nnd at
tho moment that lie uiicinpied to impoot-li
the veracity of the Editor of this print lor
making his slut meiit, contradicting in the
name of Col. Johnson, the assertion of the
Telegraph in relation to that gentleman, Mr.
Berrien had in his own hands a letter from
(’ol. Johnson, which justified, in the utmost
latitude, the declaration on our side. In
that letter, Col. Johnson says 7
“ The Telegraph has alluded to some com
munication made to you by a member .of
Congress, authorized by thu President—the
substance of which is, that the President
wished to coerce a social intercourse between
your families and Mrs. Eaton. I see the
Globe, denies it. I have thought it barely
possible that tho allusion could be made to
me, because, if 1 had over communicated
such an idea, l should have doue the most
palpable, gross, nnd wanton injustice to the
President ; for he disclaimed, on ull occa
sions, uny right, or desire,* or intention, ty
regulate the private or social intercourse of
iiis Cabinet. The President had been in
duced to believe that a part of his-Cabinet
had entcrored into a deep laid scheme to drive
Major Eaton from his Cabinet, and of this he
complained. I did not believe it, and as the
mutual friend of all concerned, I proposed
that l should hive the opportunity to con
verse with that portion of his Cabinet before
he had an interview with them, and he acqui
esced—und the interview which I had with
you, resulted, as I understood, in a better un
deretanding, und in fact 1 considered it a re
conciliation. Whatever came from inc, up-
assort that ihe President ever pretended to
assert a right to control tho private inter
course of society 1 Lot ns see.
Mr. Berrien sayH, in his letter to Major
Eaton, that the President “ disclaimed any
disposition to press such a requisition.”
Mr. Ingham says, “ 1 considered the
President as having entirely waived the de~
tnand made through Col. Johnson."
Mr. Branch’s declaration, upon thin subject
in his letter to Mr. Berrien, is withhold hy
the latter. I le only gives the scrap, in which
he says, his “ recollections of the interview
(with Col. Jwhnsou) will most abundantly
corroborate yours.” As Mr. Berrien has
not thought tit tu give Mr Branch’s ac
count of the interview with the President, we
have*some reason to infer that it does not
“ abundantly corroborate" all tint Messrs.
Ingham und Berrien have said in that partic
ular. We call on .^r. Berrien to Buy vvliat
that hit or contains, ns il regards the Presi
dent’s declaration upon this subject. But in
the absence of Mr. Branch’s averment, how
stands the affuir 1 Both Mr. Ingham and
Mr. Berrien urn compelled to Buy, tho one
“that tlie President disclaimed the disposi
tion to prow the requisition," the other, that
lie “ entirely wa-ved the demand made
through Col. Johnson,” while Col. Johnson
himself declares, in his letter to these gentle
men, time “//* rbad ever* communicated
such an idea, I should have done the moat
palpable, oitoss anil wanton injustice to
thfl President, for he disclaimed, on all oc
casions, any right, or duniuk, or inten
tion, to regulate the social intercourse of
his Cabinet.” From this united testimony
it appears that upon tho only occasion when
tho President discussed this matter, person
ally, with Missrs. Berrien nnd lnghain, &e.
ho “ disclaimed" uml “waived” such a re
quisition,—und Col. Johnson says, that to
hiin, “ ho disclaimed, on all occasions, any
riybt or desire to regulate the private or so*
cial'intcrcourse of Jus Cabinet.'
soon had it in their power to satisfy their

Dear Sir : I have received your letter of
this date, nml can truly suy, in reply, that I
hclieve myself to have been unkindly treated
in the transactions ajludcd to. I have no
disposition to dilute on my wrongs before the
American people ; but misunderstood, as I
have been, my conduct censured and my mo
tives impeached, I hold myself at liberty to
give such explanations ns my frionds may re
quire- I cheerfully acceed tn your proposi
tion and will moot your friundn, ut n:iy time
and place they .may select. I have tothank
you, Sir, for tiin ungndnimily ofyour course,
and do assure you, tlmt there is no fueling in
my bosom thut responds in union with the
pussioiis of your enemies.
With much respect,
I am vnu;'d. Sic.

,T. A. Bynum, Esq.
Halifax. CountyJulxj 17/ /i 1831,
In pursuance to the above correspondence,
Mr. Bynum called upon thcr undersigned
persons Ins'political frioiyls, to hear a state
ment of farts from tho lion. John Branch re
lative to Lis lute connexion with tlie admin
istration of the General Government. After
an attentive hearing ami dispassionate con
sideration, we unhesitatingly uny, from the
facts disclosed we believe Gov. Branch to
have been trettted with injustice: wo be
lieve the Governor, nut only to have dischar
ged the duties of his late office with ability
anti fidelity, hut also believe, that in nil his
relations with ti,o citizens of Washington,
that bis conduct strictly conformed to tlie
rules of honor and propriety. We, with the
Governor, believe, from the fuels disclosed !o
us, that our veui*J>lc Resident,although like
other men not exempt from the frailties of hn-
iniine nature, has done nothing in this mat
ter that cannot be forgiven ; done nothing
for which we should abandon him , done no
thing improper which did nut result from his
peculiar situation.* From the fads disclosed
toe feel it to be nnr duty to say, in our opin
ion the Governor merits the continued con-
fidence of this State and particularly at l hit
time, that of the citizens of this district.

From (Ac Georgia /itjiorter of July ‘22.
Joel Crawford, Esq. one of the Commis
sioners appointed by tho Executive of this
State, to uncertain nnd run the line between
this State and Florida, left here yesterday on
his return, having performed the duties of his
appointment. During his stay here lie polite
ly furnished tin the following. “The Com
missioners passed nearly a month in exam
ining the head branches of the Si. Marys, and
ascertained hy actual measure me nt, that the
Western or Middle branch, tlio longest stream
of which flows out of the “Ocean Pond,” or
Lake Randolph, is decidedly the longest, nnd
in all respects entitled to be considered the
main stream or head of the river.
“From the “Ocean Pond” to the conflu-
encc of Flint and Clmttahoochie, the distance
in a direct lino, is u fraction over 148 miles,
and the course about N. 78 deg/W. Tho
territory claimed by Georgia, and now in
possession of Florida, has a triangular form,
of which the base’is nearly 25 miles, and the
perpendicular about 184 miles long. Except
a few small tracts in the vicinity of Sainpals,
Mickasukey, and Artnonin Lakes, and the
margins of some streams, the soil of the dis
puted territory is shallow, most of it entirely
barren.”
By a calculation made from the data given
above, we compute the urea of the disputed
territory to be ubout 1,184,000 acres.

The wifo of Murray,the Bank robber, who
lias been in prison for about two months,
upon an indictment for receiving the money
takon from the City Bank, knowing it to
have boon stolon, was yesterday discharged by
the Court of Sessions, from a conviction
that the indictment could not Le legally sus
tained.
There is little doubt, we believe, that the
money was stolon from the Bank hy Murray
and another accomplice, and that Smith was
engaged hy them,fora certain commission,
to keep it safely until they Imd madearunge-
incnis to leave the country. Murray w.w at
times .intemperate, and it was loured that if
lie were entrusted with the safe keeping ol
the money, he might give way to his beset
ting em, and conduct in such a manner ns to
awaken suspicion. Smith, on the contrary,
was very temperate, und therefore wu:
sidcrcd trust-worthy.
Smith and Murray are a part of the gang
of desperadoes of which Stevens, lloldgute,
and Sutton wero the poinqers. There are
uravsix of them in the State Prison, and
two uro still at large Jour, of Com.

-nd immediately sent despatches to the
Home Office. Alderman Thompson, one of
the «firrn owning one of thu vast establish
ments in which the turn out occurred, imme-
diatcly- act off for the place, after au inter
view with Lord Melbourne. Another account,
contained in a supp'ement to Felix Farley*■
Bristol Journal, states tho killed and wound*
ed at 02, and the number of rioters at 9000
und rnptll) (increasing. Two of the ringlead
ers, who had been taken into custody, were
examined before the magistrates at Cardiff;
und so far from endeavouring to exculpate
themselves, they boldly asserted, ♦hat the in
surrection would not be confined to Wulcs,
but that arrangements had been made for tlio
simultaneous rising in other manufacturing
und mining districts of the kingdom.
At the lutest advices, a large body of.inili-
tury had reached the scene of disturbance.—•
There had been no further attempts to com- .
rnenco rioting, but the men showed ho inten
tion of returning to their work. The affuir
occurred on the 3d of June. The following
is the latest report from this vicinity :—
“ Sunday Morning, eight o'clock.—-No
news. 1 understand there are lfi killed in
nil. Tho road from Braeon to Methyr is
blocked up, and no passage over it is allow
ed. The object of the mob appears to he to
surround the pfuce ; tlioy are going them
from all parts of Monmouthshire, und even so
far as Swansea. They ure said to be orga-
n sed and in union with Birmingham atnl
Manchester. Hopes are cuiertamodv-4mw-
ever, that tho rioters will come to some terms,
to day with the musters. They took 20 bar
rels* of powder from the Bowlin works.”
From Jamaica.—By the schr. Even, Capt.
Indicoit we have received Kingston papers
to the Gth inst. inclusive. Two attempts
were m ide on the4tu,.and on the Gth utuuou
day to destroy that city by flro, but the danger
was happily discovered in time, and tlio fluim.s
extinguished. Great alarm and excitement
prevailed in consequence. The culprits had
not been ascertained. Another finxliud been
discovered in an uninhabited house-on the
3d, und extinguished, und t-liu alarms hud pre
viously boon frequent. The Courant of the
2d speaks of an “ awful visitation," during
which 20 families had had their wants sup
plied hy the Rev. Mr. Archdeacon Pope/ It
is to bo inferred that they had been burned
out ; but the files being incomplete, wc ure
furnished with no other particulars.
The packet from St. Domingo which arri
ved at Kingston on ti e 2d, brought a rumor
that-the old hatred between the blacks uud
mulattoes, had broke out.into open warfare ;
and that they wore massactoing each other
in cold blood.

An Explosion.—Mr. Gurney’s steam-car
nage was on \\ odnesday night blown to pie
ces by an explosion of the boiler. The cat
astrophe occurred in tho square of the Cav-

times, and stopped :it one corner of it, where
some peoplo cnine out. Two boys, sons of
Mr. Muclure, of the Pwt-Eglint.on inn, at
that time entered, and were about to hefol-

burst with a tremendous explosion, and shat,
