WEDNESDAY, Jury er,

Mr.. sNcwDEN,
THE trial oe case in court a few days
ago has given rise to areport calculated to
injurc nv character. The report is, that
for norey which | Justly owed went into
court AID plead usuly IN barr Of the claim.
Had this been the case | should consider
myself entitled to the excavations of all ho-
nest men. / conceive that a mans wil
voluntary engagements constitutes law Of
such binding force that nothing except abso-
lutte inability can dispense him from COM
pli&nce witt, and that the .rson who enters
into solemn contract to pay money and
afterwards takes shelter under municipal or
civil institutions renders himself unworthy
Of al trust. By these principles | am will
ling that my canduct in this and every other
transaction of my life should be tested, nor
shall the world ever have occasion to charge
me with dereliction Of them.
But as believe the best refutation Of the
report in question will be statement Of
facts as they were exhibited in court, | will
Go it as. coacisaly as can.
This suit was brought by a Nicholas
Harper against Alexander Smith, as .ecuri-
" on a bond Of James and Daniel Doug
ss.-Mr. Smith availed himself
ID Of the plea Of usury and brought me
into court as witness, in consequence
OF which the plea was sustained and Mr..
Harper cast in the suit.
But something is said about receipt,as if
/ had taken an advantage Of Mr.. Harper
and obtained from him a receipt which l
ought not to have had. can only say that
I took no receipt from Mr.. Harper which
he was not willing 70 giye--a receipt that
stated the truth Of the case, and such an one
as / was entitled to--That it was made use
Of to prove the usary was no fault Of mine.

Three ships and two briggs from Jamaica,
among the latest arrivals at New York, had
full cargoes of rum, near two thousand pun
cheons. They sailed in company with the
British convoy. Flour at Jamaica by the
cargo, is 10 is dolls. a barrel; and the isl
aud as well supplied with beef, pork, and
other American produce as before the en-
barge. Indeed so constant are the evasl-
olas, that our embargo system is Of sin
