NEW YORK, Av 0.19. - Mr. Secretary Smith received, on the 14th inst. from Mr. Erskine, a long and very satisfactory Liter, in answer to ene of the 9th inst. In which Mr. Smith had requested a candid explanation as to the conversation which Mr. Canning's dispatch of the 24,1 of January had imputed to Mr. Madi. son, Mr. Gallatin, and himself. Mr. Erskine has, moreover, in this letter, stated the reasons which, in the exercise of Vie discretion given him, hed induced him not to lay his instructions before the Government of the United Stela. These Pitpers will s no doubt, be' communicated in due time to Congress. Nay Yuma, Aua. 17.—Extract of a letter from New Orleans :—" Tit.: Emigrants from Cuba are arriving daily. The Governor is absent on a tour to Atacapas; and our police, nutwithstand. hug the increase of danger frum the hordes which have got introduced among us, is as negligent as ever. The su:sly-arrived troops are encamped at the upper part of the English turn, and on the bend on the left bank. Sickness at this early pee riod is mak►ng its appearance in its worst form, five or six deaths daily take place. " No one is surprised at this circumstance; on the contrary, it was predicted by every person of experience. These unfurtuuatc men were kept crowded together in small houses, in considerable numbers ; were almost destitute of cloathing, were fed on very bad provisions, and were suffered to b'• se dirty as to be a scandal to the name of a sol dier. Besides, the discipline was so lax, that they were sulk red to roam abroad at pleasure ; and they might be seen drunk in troops at every tip. ling shop ; and had not the men been naturally well disposed, it is impossible to say what might not have happened." AUG. 13.—The Baltimore papers by yesterday's mail, are filled with a political controversy be tween Commodore Jushui Buirucy and the friends of General S nith, S.:cretary of State. In one of them Mr. Buirney charges Gen. Smith with having seat fusels to France in the year 1701, while he was Member of Congress, to purchase une.third of a frigate, to be fitted Out as a privateer to cruize against the British, and the prises to be sent to thu United States. .

" In noticing the rumour of the imputed cause of Mr. LEIGH'S silence, in our Report of Must. day, we observed that the interference of the Bank Directors, with the conduct of their servants out of the Bank, we knew to be contrary to a general established rule,--that we deemed the eloquence of Mr. Lames unworthy of an effort to silence it by authority—and that we could not think so meanly of Mr. Kums as to believe him capable of such an application as was im.
