New-Yonx,NoV. 30.—We have heard some con -
jetanres fromWashitiglimwhich we hope, to use; the
languege of biot her Editor Smith, 'are ullounded.--7
It has been hinted that the late affair with Mr. Jack.;
spn will cost Mr. Secretary Smith his place ; and,
that the whole business has bein cdntrived by a cer-
tain cunning Frenchman, who- stands ready to.step
into Mr. Smith's shoes,. which he thinks he ought
to have worn long ago.—(44lexon. Gax.)
" Shnuld the feelings of :any one tend to excite a'
dispoisition to treat Mr. Jackson indecorously, let
him reflect on the punishment to which he would
thereby inevitably expose. himself, and to the-deep
injury be might, however unintentionally, inflict on
his country, and we ate persuaded he will teel it -a
sacred duty to abstain from all violence or indecO‘
rum, leaving to his GovernMent the management of
an affair of so much delicacy :and importance."

The same paper (the paper of our government)
says,
" Although the President has refused to- receive
any further communication front Mr. Jackson, he IS
still a public minis!er and the represent'at'ive of -the
British government in many iniportant..respectS.'"
