On Wednesday, we gave, ershoively, the Declara-
tion of Count H•ttozsaaao, in reply to the inso-
lope observations of the Msaiseer, upon his letter to
Lord MA a ow nv . The Merwiag Pear of yesterday
contains the following paragraph upon this subjelt
64 The reply of Baron H•acismiese to the illi-
beral insinuations is the Itlonaterr of the Slit March,
which was given as New is; sonic of the Papers
of yesterday, appeared in Tea Moats ire Pei: up-

Early intelligence is become an article sn very
rare in The Merging Port, we are not surprised that
it should place an eatraovdinary value upon she
commodity. For the same reason, were we inclined
to plagiarism, we should bare stolen our New
from souse papers that could have better afforded it.
Anxious to make restitution, by acknowledging the
claim of The Morning Net, if well founded, we have
looked into its numbers, and observe one para-
graph of the article, under the title of " HaltDen-
stung:TA L 22222 1110." Culling a single paragraph.
and throwing an air of frivolity over ic, by a whim-
sical title, is a mode of giviug a grave and important
State Paper to which we cannot subscribe. We do
then maintain, that the article never did appear in
The Morvell Pow ; btu we do not, therefore. charge it
with wilful misrepresents:Use. There is a story of an
old bachelor, who being mired why he did not
