Hut, in addition to thin, what motive lind I to
doflirc to drive Major Eaton out ol the Cabi
net ! NVe had been for M-vcriil yearn, pcr-
votinllv intimaio mid friendly. I had formed
n favorable opinion of hie diHfioaition and gen
eral character ; and, notwithstanding all that
lind occurred, my opinion, na to these quali
ties at ihat time, la unchanged. In the ah-
•once of motive, in the abaenco of facta and
c.ircmnatanceH, nay, in the face of facta now
tendered to you, whnt ia them in the relation
between the highest officor of the Govern-
mcntand the humblesifcitizen which can juat-
ly preclude the latter from the right of de
manding that a charge ho injurious to him
tdi'ill he either proved or retracted 1 If. ahuiild
now he understood that this char/'-, thus
shown to be a mere phantom, <s Hindu the
•• head and front of my offending," and the
main point upon which my reputation ih aH-
sailed. You have professed to regard my
conduct in this particular, as bearing an “ im
plied insult" to yourself, which imagined in
sult has been fostered in your breast up to
the present moment ; and constantly cher
ished, with its predisposing influence to give
form and substance to every other shadow
which jonuloiiHy uud auspicisor. could con
trive, or credulity could be prevailed upon to
embrace.
What are these shadows which have been
thus embodied I " At the succeeding sen
lion, Mr. Calhoun'* friends held meetings
for the purpose of addnssing you to remove
Maj. Katun.” Three things ure necessary
to he proved to maintain this charge and
bring it home to me. 1st. That Mr. Calhoun
had a class of friends distinct from yours.
2d. That they held such meetings. And, .‘hi.
That I was privy to, and gave uul or counte
nance to the ineasurn.* As to the first. I
know of no such class. As to the second, 1
know of no such meeting. And thirdly, I,
of courso, could have given it no aid or entm-
teaanco. If, however, them was such a
meeting, its character and objects must he
subjects for proof; and if it did address you,
the nsiues must show that it would suem only
to have boon a conspiracy of your own friends
to persuade your head in opposition to your,
heart. lie ibis as it may, you have my de
nial of all knowledge of it; mid my demand
for proof oil tliiH point cannot ho evaded.
Then " Mr. Van Harm has been denounc
ed/” When I In what manner! And by
whom ? And how am I responsible for it!
It is true I did not enter into the views of
those who wore generally supposed to consti
tute your confidential political council, hy
exerting myself to promote him for ilia suc
cession ; nor did I follow the suppose <1
changes in your mind, ns to the propriety of
using your powor to promote the election of
your Mucceshor; hut I gave to Mr Van Huron
a fair and just support in all his official acts,
which were presented for my cooperation ;
ii,ir have his personal friends the slightest
« round to onmpluin of my treatment to ile ni.
cannot, however, be responsible for what
others said of him : my relation to you or to
him, did not require that. 1 should hear so un
reasonable a burden ; nor was it your cu -torn
tu hold him, or any other of your friends,
accountable for the denunciations against
mo, which were so carefully laid on your tn-
iilo day uftt r day. If such a rule had been
udoptml.it ought, at least, to liuvc been made
know, that each might understand what was
required, ami have an opportunity of sharing
its benefits.
'rim next cliargo in order is thus announ
ced :
Arrangements were made in Congress to
embarass the measures of the Administra
tion in that body.” 1 beg leave to require,
ns h mutter of obvious justice, that the par
ticular object of these imputed arrangements
be specified ; hy whom they were made;
and (what motive had the alleged actors to
embarnss the Administration 1 And, lastly,
at what point was I connected with them,
what act of this nature was done, or advice
f liven by me, and wlmt motive could I have
ind for cmlmrruNHingthc measures of the Ad*
ministration with which I was connected f
It docs not belong to the human miml to net
without motive;«—even jealousy itself will
not believe all the evil it hoars of the object
uf its suspicions, unless the evidence be cor
roliorated by the anpenroncu of some rational
motive to control their actions. In this
case, I can imagine none. It remains, there
fore, for you to show how this charge can lie
made to reueli me. Here I leave it with my
unqualified denial, whulcvur form or shape it
liny assume.
“ The Calhoun Telegraph and Ingham
Sentinel have evinced their disaffection.''
Again, I demand the evidence. Let the
cmihms ot then* papers be examined for the
fact of tlioir disufleotion. The former was
deemed the paper of the Administration,
uud tliu only article which, up to tiitit period,
I have heard of having been ascribed to such
a feeling, tlio •editor says was dictated, in
substance, from your own lips, uml approved
in form by you beforo publication. As to the
latter, I Imvo had no political correspon
dence with its editors from tho tunc of my
appointment to that of my removal. Those
gentleman (and none who know them will
doubt their word) will bear me out in this
declaration, I admit that I regard them ns
toy personal frionds. They have long con
ducted, in the capital of Pennsylvania, tlx?
leading paper of the political part) with
which I navo always bcon connected. They
are men oftried moral and political integrity.
Had I been engaged in any of the purposes
thus attributed to me, it is scarcely p*-e•bh'
that l should not have corresponded with
them, and some others of their editorial
bretherenin Pennsylvania, or elsewhere, on
these subjects. All are now at liberty to
publish whatever 1 have wiit-en in respect to
this or any other matter contained in your
charges.
Next: " The appointment of Mr Baldwin,
was denounced. This from you is most
unexpected, to whom it must be well known
that in all your conversations on tlmt subject
whatever my preference might havo been, 1
refused to sny any tiling to depress Mr.
Baldwin ; and it is with great surprise, not
withstanding all I have before seen, that 1 um
inado responsible for tbedenunciation. Wlmt
may not be proved when such evidence is rc-
lita on!
The expose proceeds ; “ Remote editors
were sounded to bring them out against
your re-election.” The only evidence which
1 have seen or heard of in support of this
charge, is in a statement of (iidoon Welles,
of Hartford, Ct. 4 * who, though ho was
“shocked and astounded** at tho alleged
suggestion, it since appears, had some time
tftcr, written a letter to the gentleman whom
he Charged with making It, sending bis
best respects to Mr. Calhoun, and express
ing his own private opinion that you ought
not, on principle, to stand another poll.—
will nig require of v<ni (a prow that I was present,
or “ In the len company" of the conspirators.
It is a remarkable fact, that this same wit-
now so miirii relied i.pon to sustain a far
fetched ussault upon me, had written another
letter to the same person, soon after this
shocking overture was said to have been
| made in which lie said ( aoioii£ other things of
I the Hume kind, that Major Katun was a dis*
grace to your Administration. So much for
I this charge, and the witness: but if all ho
says, in tlic face of his letters to the contra -
i ry, ho tree, he only testifies ton conversation
with another person, of which none protends
! that I had any knowledge. Of its supposed
| object | never heard till it was brought out
! by Mr. Welles’ perilous statement. Hut if
' there be ground lor offence to you in such
mi net, it must be round in tho supposition
thut contrary to the geucrul expectation, you
were then anxious for u re-election, nud hud
seized, upon and laid up tlx; mere expression
of n doubt of its expediency iih evidence of
base designs against yourself and your Ad
ministration. It is surely an act of sunerer-
oga*'ion further to deny uud ask for proofs at
stichu matter.

SPKRCH FROM THE THRONE.
On TncHtlay. June 21st, at an early hour,
every roof, window, balcony, and doorway,
from Si. James to St. Stephens, were besieg
ed with eager and expecting beholders. “At
length, llie roar of cannon announced the de
parture ttf the r* yul cortege from tho puluce.
The intermediate time, until its arrival at the
Parliament, was marked hy the reverberations
of the multitudinous voices that hailed the
King at every turn. “Along the line the sig
nal ran," and the feu de joie of loyal voices
in continued cheers, notwithstanding the
parched lips and fiery faces, was kept up with
little intermission. The King, wo thought,
looked pale and dispirited ; and tho cheering
was not so loud ui\d enthusiastic as tho crowd
wonld have led us to expect.”
About 2 o’clock, he entered the antique
chamber, in magnificent robes, and took his
seat on tho throne ofthat long line of Kings,
amongst whom there have been few more pop
ular than himself. The Commons were sum
moned, and his Majesty, in a voice apparent
ly affected by a shghl cold, delivered the fol
lowing.
ADDRESS:
“ My Lords and Gentlemen,
“I have availed myself of the earliest op
portunity of resorting to your advice and as
sistance after the dissolution of the lute l'ar-
leamcnt.
" Having had recourse to that measure for
the purpose of ascertaining the sense of my
people on the expedi mey of a reform in the
representation, l#liave now to recommend
that important question to your earliest uml
most attentive consideration, confident that
in any measures which you may prepare for
its adjustment, you will carefully adhere to
the acknowledged principles oftlie constitu
tion, by which the prerogatives oftlie Crown,
tho authority of both Houses of Parliament,
and the rights and liberties of the people, are
equally secured.
“ The assurances of a friendly disposition
which l continue to receive from all foreign
Powers, encourage the hope that, notwith
standing the civil commotions which have
disturbed some parts of Kitrope, and the con
test now existing iri Poland, the general
peace will be maintained.
. “ To the preservation of this blessing my
most anxious care will be constantly direct
ed.
** The discussions which have taken place
j on the affairs of Belgium have not yet been
brought to a conclusion ; but the most coin-
plfcte agreement continues to subsist between
the Powers whoso plenipotentiaries have
been engaged in the conferences of London.
The principle on which those conferences
have been oonducted has been that of not in
terfering with the right of the people of Bel
gium to regulate their internal affairs, and to
establish their government according tn their
own views of what may bo most conducive
to their future wolfare and independence; un
der tho sole condition, sanelioed hy the
practice of nations, and founded on the prin
ciples of public law, that in the exercise of
that undoubted right, tho security of tlio
neighboring suites should not he endangered.
" A series of injuries and insults, for which,
notwithstanding repeated remonstrances, all
reparation was withhold, compelled me at
Inst, to order a squadron of my fleet to appear
before Lisbon, with a peremptory demand of
satisfaction. A prompt compliance with
that demand prevented tho necessity of fur
ther measures.; but I have to regret that I
havo not. yet been able to re-establish my di
plomatic relations with the Portuguese Gov
ernment.
“ Gentlemen of the. House of Commons,
“ I have ordered estimates of the expenses
of tho current year to be laid before you, and
I rely with confidence on your loyalty and
zeal to make nd< qnute provision for the pub-
lie service, as well ns for the- farther applica
tion of the sum granted hy th-* last Parlia
ment ; hi was keeping in view the necessity
of a wise nud wholesome economy in every
branch oftlie public expenditure.
“ My Lords uml Genllemm,
“ It gives me great satisfaction to state to
you, that tint largo reduction of taxes winch
took place in tho lust and in the present year,
with a view to the relief of the laboring class
es oftlie community, has not been attended
with n proportionate diminution of tho public
income. I trust that such additional means
as nny be required to supply a part tho de
ficiency occasioned hy these reductions may
lie found, without any material abridgement
of tlm comforts of niv people.
“To assist the industry, to improve the
resources, and to maintain the credit oftlie
country on sound principles; ami on a safe
and lasting foundation, will be at all times
the object of iny solicitude, in the promotion
of which I look with confidence to your zeal
ous co-operation.
“ It is with deep concern that I have »o
announce to you tliu continued progress of a
forindahle disease, to which m v attention had
been early directed, in tho eastern parts of
Europo. Information having been more re
cently received that il had extended iis rava
ges to ports in the Baltic, whence there is a
great commercial intercourse with my do
minions, I have directed that all the precau
tions should he taken which experience has
recommended as most cfieciuul for guarding
against the introduction of uo durigorous a
malady into this country.
“Greatdistress has unhappily prevailed in
soui'* districts, ami more particularly in a
part of tho western counties of Ireland, to re
lievo which, in tho most pressing cases, I
have not hesitated to authorize the applica
tion of such moans ns worn immediately
available for that purpose. But assistance of
this nature is necessarily limited in i*s
amount, and can only be temporary in its ef
fect. The possibility, therefore, of introdu
cing nny measures which, by assisting the
improvement of tlio natural resources of the
country, nny tend to prerent the recurrence
of such evils, must be a subject of the most
anxious interest to me, and fo you of the
most grave and cautious consideration.
liOcal disturbances, unconnected with any
political causes, have taken place both in
this part of the United Kingdom and in Ire-
land. In the county of Clare, and in the ad
joining parts of Roscommon and Galway, a
system Of violence and outrage had for some
time beon carried on to an alarming exten',
for the repression of which the constitutional
authority of the law has been vigorously and
successfully exerted. By these means, the
necessity of enacting new laws to strength
en the Executive Government with further
powers will, 1 trust, bn prevented.
“ l*o avert such a necessity Ins been, and
ever will be. my most earnest, desire ; hut if
it should unfortunately arise, I do nol doubt
your firm resolution to maintain tho peace
and order of society, hy the adoption of such
measures o** may be required fur their more
effectual protection.”
Addresses to the king worn moved in the
two Houses, ns usual, and carried. In the

'THE REFORM BILL.
This important hill was brought formard in
the House of Commons on the 24th,—passed
its first reading—and was to he read a se
cond time on the Fourth of July. Alter the
speech of Lord John Russell, a part of which
we s'uhjoin, Sir Robert Peel made a few ob
servations, intimating that he should not op
pose Um bill in the present stage «,f his pro
gress, but should have something to say
when tho question should come up for a se
cond reading. “The noble Lord," he re
marked, “ is, I apprehend, entirely wrong in
his expectation that this measure will be
permitted to go to tiie Cn'^uittee witt^dt a
lengthened discussion of. its principle, and
the sense of the House having been pro
nounced upon it.” This anuouuceinciu was
followed by loud cheers.
London. Ju„ c £i._T:,o French papers of
; mesd^, which wo received last night, con-
• cur with the Gorman journals in stating that
General Paskewitz is to succeed Marshal
Diebitsch as Commander-in-chief of the Rus
sian army in Poland. Indeed, it is even hint-
ed that tho Generul was to have superseded
the Marshal had he lived, and that the pros-
poet of disgrace hod accelerated tho death of
the 1 after, it it did not lend him to commit
suicide. There seems no foundation in truth
for such a suspicion. The Marshal was
never accused of being a temperate man in
a country where intemperance is scarcely
reckoned a vice. His habits of the bottle
would thus naturally expose him to the cho
lera more than the other officers.
Diebitsch derived his title of Snbalkanski,
or “ Passer ot the B dean,” from tho success
of his Turkish campaign. Ilis successor has
likewise a title commemorative of the glo
ries oft ho same campaign—that. of Erivan-
ski, deriyed from the conquest of Erivan.—
The Polish Generalissimo has transferred to
his own brow the laurels of the “ Passer of
the Balcan.” Is ho destined likewise to
eclipse the golory of tho “ Vicor of Erivan V* j
The Polos have measured themselves with |
Turks before, and arc not unlikely, on the
present occasion, to conquer them again, by
stripping their Russian victors of the accumu
lated trophies of the last war.
POLAND.
PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.
Berlin, June 10.—A report from the Rus
sian head-quarters at Klcezmvo, near Pultusk,
dated the 10th of June, attribues the death
of General Diebitsch to a sudden attack of the
cholera morbus. It is stated that previously
he had enjoyed perfect health, and on the duy
before, was exceedingly cheerful; but at about
2 o’clock in the morning of the 9th of June
he was suddenly taken ill, and his malady vvus
immediately pronounced to bo the cholera —
All medical assistance proved ineffectual, and
after a very painful struggle, ho departed this
life on Friday, the lOtli of June, at 1 o’clock
in the morning. This melancholy event (says
the above-mentioned report) seems to prove
that the progress oftlie cholera must he attri
buted much le s to contagion than to the wea
ther, and to the predisposition oftlie persons
affected ; for at u time oftlie General’s i.eath
there was not at the head-quarters of the
Russians one single person attacked with this
malady.
GeneralJToll has accepted, parinerim, tho
command oftlie urmy. On the 12th instant,
General Dinbilsch’s death was not known at
Warsaw, whore it will, no doubt, produce a
great sensation. The Russian forces are at
this moment much divid«?d ; the army beyond
tho Narow consists of 89,000 men ; a corps
of20,000 men, with 40 cannons, has marched
in purs' i of General Gielgud. The Guards
now form two divisions ; one remains at thu
head-quarters, the other is opposite Gielgud.
General Kreutz has abandoned the Palatinate
of Lublin, nnd has marched into Podlaehia.
The corps commanded hy Generals Rudiger
and PavidolFhave occupied tho former posi
tion of General Kreutz, and it is asserted that
General Knowing has received orders to
march against Chlnposki. General Geismar,
who commanded the Russians at Wawer, is
shortly to be tried by n court-martial. No
official account has appeared respecting the
movements ofGen. Oio.gird ; hut nil accounts
agree as to the fact of his having completely
defeated the corps under General Suckon :
2,000 prisoners and 8 cannon nre said to have
fallen into tho hands oftlie Poles ; nud it is
even asserted that tho Grand Duke Michael,
with a detachment of thu Guards, was pro-
sent at the battle.
The n«»\vs from Podolia is every way of a
more cheering nature. The insurgents havo
taken possession of Sntanow, and made the
whole garrison prisoners, with th** exception
of o e officer, who escaped to Husiatyn—
The Russian authorities wore compelled to
retire intoG licia. The insurgents took a
groat many arms, which had been hid in the
ground, as well us nil the cannon of General
Wittgenstein ; and their numbers ut this mo
ment amount at least to 30,090 men. It is
stated, however, that a detachment oftlie in
surgents, under Generul Kolysko, in their ar
dour to pursue the Russians, Imd passed the
frontier of Galicia, and having^een there im
mediately attacked by the Austrian troops,
suffered a very considerable loss. The I’o.
lish papers continue to complain ttf tho parti
ality of tho Prussian Government, who, it is
said, while it offers every possible difficulty
to the passage of all those whose object is t<>
carry assistance to the Poles, sends, not only
provisions, but engmoers, to tho Russians.
Tho National Government has appointed
Gen. Riittie Governor of Warsaw. i)r. An*
tomarchi, who has minutely inspected all th"
hospitals of Warsaw, has lately expressed his
approbation oftlie satisfactory state in whrh
he found them, nnd of the great care which is
taken of the sick. He expresses his particu
lar admiration of the assiduity of the ladies
in attending tho sick, many of whom, although
oftlie highest rank, devote themselves entire
ly to this charitable occupation. The last pa
pers Rom Warsaw contain an account of the
grand entertainment given by the National
Guard at Warsaw to the different regiments
encamped in the envious of the capital, each
of which wus represented on this occasion by
20 deputies. Nothing, it is said, can give an
idea of the interesting sceno which this assem
bly presented to the capital, and which must
contribute still more to that union which ought
always to exist between the army and thu ci
tizens of Warsaw. You will porcoive hy my
silence respecting tho Polish army tliut there
has been no lighting 6iucc my Inst; but peo
ple now consider the death of General Die-
bitsch ns thusignul for a general battle.

FROM THE RUSSIAN HEAD QUAR

I ain under the painful necessity Uf announ
cing 'o you that the Imperial R i.=sian Com-
atidor-in-Chief, General Field Marshal Count
Diebitsch Sabalkansky, suddenly died this
day ut hnlf past 1 o’clock, at his head qimr>
ters at Kh’czcwo. Until his sudden attack
he had been in perfect heal h, nnd on tho
proceeding day hud been remarkable cheer
ful at table, when, at 2 o’clock this morning,
he was suddenly attacked by a destructive'
malady which ooro unquestionably symptoms
, of cholera. The violent attacks of sickness
overcame his powerful constitution ; nnd af
ter n painful struggle, and with nuinly com
posure nnd tranquil resignation, he closed his
brilliant and active career.
I The nrmy mourns in him a distinguished
General and a kind guide, who interested
himself for all those under his command,
treated his conquered too with u noble feel
ing peculiar to himself, nnd sought to ligh
ten th' 1 heavy burdens of war to the inhabi
tants of thost? districts whether his glorious
I career conducted him.
| This afflicting death appears to afford' uu
additional proofthat tlio above-named malu-

| mosphere and individual disposition, than
j upon contagion, for h tlmrto not a single easo

The most interesting intelligence contain
ed in these papers, is the favorable nspect of
the Polish cause. It is confidently stated' in
the London Courier, of tho 28th June, that
several of ihc Russian nobility, who had been
serving in tlm army for the last three years,
had retired to their estates, being unwilling
to fight longer against a noble nation strug
gling for its independence. This givosa
complexion to the war, highly favorable to'
the cnu80 of this long oppressed, but gallant
people.

to produce a most dreadful panic in Great
