TIE SETTLEMENT.
WAsA1NGros, July IS, 1903.

mr. CoIUi,,-In your paper of July 16,h, pub
lication has appeared, which, in stating that the
citizens of Washington had, at a meeting, adopt
ed resolutions and voted an address to gen Will
kinson, applIudng his conduct, has tendency to
impose on the public mind and, sir, YOU are well
informed, that the meeting alluded TO was con
Quoted in such manner as has made it n subject
OF remark with the citizens generally.
1t has been deemed necessary, on behalf of
the citizens, to give to the world co. rect state
ment of what has been done by that meeting
meeting had been requested by notice in
the Natisnal lntesgencer, supposed to have been
inserted at the request of relation of gen Will
knson and one or two other persons, with a vie W
to obtain vote of an address 20 the general at
which meeting the citizens generally refused to
attend and when the meeting was held, but fe w
persons appeared at it. At the opening of the
business, lengthy eulOgium on the character &
conduct of gen Wilkinson was spoken by the pe
nersFs attorney, and certain resolutions were of:
fered by him. On the question of agreeing to
the resolutions being put, he company divided,
80 for and 81 against them. OF those who pass-
ed them, 80 persons said to have been ex.
pressly engaged for that purpose Several per.
sons are known to have voted, who had not reach
cd the age OF manhood and even an officer OF
the army, under the direct control of gen. Will
kinson, so far infrnged upon decorum and the
rights OF citizens, as 10 be counted amongst those
who supported the resolutions
Can IT then be supposed that there was fir
representation Of the sentiments of the citizens
OF Washington Can a majority of two per
sons at a meeting held for the purpose of congra
tulating the general, and fop which thirty persons
are said to have been particularly selected to at.
tend, and most ofthose from that situation OF life
whose applause, though Wilkinson might covet
their persons he would spurn from his presence (!
Can SO gross an attempt to impose on the public
be pardonablel
q.
were willing to adoptthese resolutions and to vote
an address, may we not pronounce that severe
censure has bsen passed on the conduct and cha
racter of gen. Wilkinson. But we will say that
IL proves that the citizens Of Washington will
not be puppets in farce exhibited by any nation.
al Snowman and that whilst we support a re-
publican administration and venerate him who
presides, we will not suffer a conduct to be as.
cribed TO the citizens of Washington which would
be a libel on their character.

say that +" Neither Arnold nor arg person made
any 6ii! of sale an, ttie deed of this vessel to
him." He confines himself to ! Ysai sale or tr:is-
fer. But, when speaking, Of Jonathan Arnold and
the former owners, lie uses the words, "ti,le
deed or transfer" His words. US reported by
gen Wilkinson, are, '' Neither had l, nor any o.

Nathan Arnold, or the former proprietors of said
vessel, and thus plainly drawing the line OF dis.
tincuon between real sale, and mere bill of sale
from person, who, having no right, could trans.
Ter none.
General Wilkinson, for the purpose of crm.
mating Mr.. Clark, tells the Court of Inquiry that
he WAS At the time in question Spanish subject.
1t will be recoiected," says he, that Mr..
Clark was at that time Spanish subject" This
tactis of no great Importance, but gen. Wikin.
son thought it so, and lac, in all probability knew
it to be false. For it notorious at:N. Orleans
that Mr.. Clark had always declined taking, and
never did take the oath of aileg glance :: the Spa
nish government Well acquainted as gen Viii
kD,son WIS 1t New Orleans, and with MIR. Clark
ii is not easy TO believe, that he remained gno.
rant of the fact.
SO much for this charge of perjury, which, if
we IN stake not, we have implicitly turned upon
gen Wilkinson himself To conclude we give
the translation of Certificate, now in our posses
sion, from Don Andreas Armesto, formerly Sc.
cretary oithe Spanish government at N. Orleans,
which prores that MIR. C.. never was Spanish
subject.
