Jackson then Hepped up to him and L»f \ei him what he meant by that laugh, and after ticu 3 rr.ilimentinff him with the name of aflaffin, they a'f> routnall'y proceeded to blows. Watkins having T b-oken his sword cane, seized Jackson, took his the l'„b fiom him. and was drubbing him pretty found- evil ] when they were parted by the magidracy. G'eat twe pains were taken by the Gen. and his party to make _ I the citizens believe that it was their quarrel and not Roi ),is • and as it wa. a day in which several of the u- me, nu'orm companies dined together, and much wine rep £ nd rum at command, they made a flicw of railing last ; a mob who were to take the quarrel off of Jack- vat! fan's hands. About 9or Io o'clock 15 or 20 of and the mobility* headed by one Robertfon ( whom the tra; Gen. has lately had appointed Secretary to the gat S.ate Cotnmiffioners for treating with the Cieeks) be < inverted our lodgings, and continued thereabouts 1 for fevera! boors tinging Caira and other republican affi hn"S Mr. Welfcher was one of this refpeflable pro oros I confefs to you that I never f»und my tim republican principles so much on the totter as oa cm this occasion ; and Watkins who would once have pie headed a party to hang the Federal Marflial, had ouj he levied an execution on public treasury, is now con a warm advocate for order, law, and government. — not This friend and partizan of Gen. Jackson, is the cot fame man who distinguished himlelfon a former cticalion when Oov. Jay and Gen. Gijnn were made deh the fsbjeA of their mirth. Gen. Jackson is avoid- pas cd by inoil men, as a man hoflile to the social vir tues ; and bs an evident proof of the general opiy- pre ion concerning him, especially in the higher walks fin; ef life, lam assured that the Chief Justice, who Re dined out every day for three weeks, never met anc with him at any of those entertainments, although the the Gen. was in the eity two thirds of the time. By •2 I was near omitting to mentiou to you that of 1 there was a;townsrfleeting in Savannah a night or flip two after Jackson and Watkins'/raw, which was are called for the parpofe of deviling the bed means j mil of supporting the County Representatives. How they got together is a matter of astonishment to ' cul many ; as the citizens were not notified by hand- J to' bills or advertisements in the papers or elfewhere.of j any such intended meeting. They therefore mult ; chi have been collected by private and confidential com- tlri munications, which were so given as to reach only the a chosen few. Mr. John Carroway Smith was 11- nanimouflv chosen Chairman, and that poor devil, tht Robertfon, the Clerk A Committee was appoint- jGi ed to draw up the sense of this refpeflable meeting, j pri who echoed the preferments of the Federal Grand do Jary which doubtless have by this time appeared in or< Philadelphia. Mr. Telfair and Mr. George Jones were of the committee ; and as I view this au elec- afl tioneering tlroke, I conclude they will severally be- m; come candidates at the next eledlidn, especially if cei importuned by an atidrefs fimVar to the one pte fenied to Jackson by Smith, Shaffer and Louden." de " Judge Walton had in attack of the gout short- ex ly after he airived in Savannah, by which he was Itillconfined when we left there. We howoier have de hopes of his being able to come up by the return of gr the next stage, which goes and returns regularly ence a week between here and Savannah ; and pro mile6 to be advantageous to Capt. Twining, the proprietor, and of great public convenience. I ihonld think with a little encogragemeuL might be 1 tin fuccefsfully from one extremity of the Union to the other, ft certainly is the fafell and mod commodious method of transporting the pub- " lie mail; and therefore if the revenue of the poll : ' office would judify the experiment, it might be well enough, to veil the poll mailer general with power to close with proportions for carrying the mail in stages, in preference to the prefeut mode, ' on this fide or Pcterfburg, where they Ihould of- 11 ferto doit for any sum within twenty five p. cent ? of the lowc-ll bid for such contrails. Frequently letters as well as news-papers are unavoidably left c l' in the Southern pod offices for the want of room to Don them away in the portmanteau. Very few J fubfcriptior.s for the northern papers have been con- " tinueii,and for no other reason that I have heard of. ' Every friend to good order, 1 peace and govern- ' mdit, is filled with fears and anxiety at this impor tant ctifis. I never liked the British treaty, and e my endeavors, however feeble, were readily afford ed to prevent its ratification ; but being ftiice rati- n lied, altho' my prejudices remained,, my oppdition r< ceased. If the miniftet could have done better, Cl which is scarcely to be presumed, it may beajull ■ eaufe for inviting the censure, the indignation, and the vengeance of his country, but furejy it can at- c ford no grounds for withholding the neceflary fnp- j' plies for carrying it into execution. As. threat 1 niog as the (lorm now appears I cannot believe, but that the House of Representatives will recede. — The happy genius of the great Washington was never mr>re neceflary than on this trying occasion. Had almost any other man been at the helm, Amer- 0 iea would have been involved in war. 1 think it the greatelt honor of my life that 1 was one of his cledtors. I find great pains taken in th» Southern States to difleminate the report of his being deter- mined not again to serve as President. Prav in- form me if his declarations warrant the reporr."

NEW-YORK, June 2. We have a regular series of that exci-llcnt Pari« ; paper, the Natiptial Gazette or Moniteur, lrom ! the 20th of February, to Ap'il 8. It is filled principally with debates and proceedings of the ht Legislative Body, fiom which feme intej-eftiog par- tni ticulars may be seleCted for American paper.,. It is im a'f> the moll authemi? channel of intelligence. yo Tht I egillat'.ve Body is occupied principally with j to the restoration of finarces, and in corieifling the evils nceeflarily introduced into the tranfadtions be tween individuals, by ihe depreciation of affignats. In the paper of the Bth, the latell date received, Roufleau, as the organ of a Committee on the pav "77 ment of private engagements, tenoned in favor of repealing the laws of 25 Meflidor and 12 Fiimaire last, which had ftifpended the reimbwrlVment of pri vate debts, on account of the low value of afiignat- ; and proposing to pas? a law , declaring that ail con- cjtl trails made prior to January t, 1 792, and all obli- fh« Rations for specie or ingots, of « laier date, (hould da be dilchargcd in mandates. When these suspensions of payment took place! affignats were worth only 3 1-2 per cent. Seme f rovitions for creditois seemed neerfTiry at that time. But as the mandates are itTued on good ie entity, aud as the reporter exprcfles it, realisable at ple jfurc, it is maintained that all kinds of creditors . ought to receive their debts in then at par. Debts , contradled finer January 1792, whose real value ii not fixed by the contrail, he promoted to pay ac- j ' cording to a tcale of depreciation. This report occaiioned a lengthy and important debate, which was not closed at the date of the lall 1 ' paper " . -- f Economy is an object of great attention with the present leg.flatois of France.
