It is not to be sup. posed, indeed, that in her sixteenth y»*nr, her rlmrniH hud ripened into that full blown rna- turity which they afterwards utlamed ; bill they were on thin account, only the more fascinating.

Hut t hat her countenance posses- and in n pre eminent degree tho something which constitutes beauty, is sufficiently attes ted by the unanimous declaration of ull con temporary writers.

Generally speak* ing, Mary’s features wore mure Grecian tlinn Homan, though without the insipidly that would have attended them, had they been regular.

On the above articles, in addition tn a note in our paper a tetv days since, suggesting the above reports to be on their face rather Jinhy, we have made enquiries, and can now state, that loin: ago us the 5th instant, tho attention of the Navy Department wn§ invited to this subject hy u letter from Newborn, N.C., and information immediately communicated there that the suspected vessel was doubtless one of the schooners despatched to Florida for the protection of Live Oak. We are happy to add, for quietingftny fears or our merchants, thut yesterday another let ter reached the Department from Newbern, acknowledging Hie receipt of the former ex planations, and stating the verification of tlu.ni, and the removal of all alarm by the ves- sul haung touched at Beaufort. Washington illobt There ih one thing somewhat remarkable in relation to this transaction, to which we would call public attention. It ih, that these parties should have ft pi over circumstances of such “awakening interest to the American People," for more than eighteen inontlia ! ! May not the inclination to conceal this long delay in doing public jiiHlicc. have prompted Mr. Ingham to irtvo his record the date of 27th January, Ifl81, when, if, as Mr. Borri- iiii snys, “these notes w* retaken at the time and shown lo him shortly after," the date would have been January. l&dO J From the Cilohe.

We are prepared to moot him before that tribunal, or before any other to which lie twy chouse to carry his appeal. It seems that ho had linen preparing for Homo time to make an issue with som antagonist, ami having chos“ti his man, we think he has no right to dii iniss hint. In Ins letter to Col. Johnson, dated the7th July, shortly after his resignation, lie says— “ li', without imputing to mo the alleged want | of harmony in the Cabinet, my retirement is I placed on the ground of the President’s mi:iie j will, so fbr us 1 arn concerned, it is well.— | I do not dispute nis right to exercise that ns he thinks til; but for tlio euku of my chil dren, 1 will not submit to tho continued mis- roprcsQiilatioiM of the public Journals.”— ‘What public Journal has (list -rhed tilts ques tion J What public Journal firat asserted that tho Provident sought to impose on Messrs.

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 friends and the public that they were.perfect ly innocent. If any doubts still exist, tins verdict must remove them.—,V. Y. Gaz. From the .iYirth Carolina S'tar.

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.

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.

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.
