Il This ingenius man, however metaphy-
y steal and alcmbicated he may be In his
3yarious writings, was of great simPlici-
Ntv and BON HoMMIE in his character
and conversation. Having one morning

him, he replied, /" My good friend, strong
and stout as you are, it is shame that
you do not so to work" An. master =
said the begger. 4" If you did but know
how lazy L am" " WE'LL" replied Miri-

SATURDAY MORNING, June 90.

Several Of tine northern papers contain
on account (rrom the Bermuda Royal Ca
zetts) Of the affair between the President
and little Belt. 1t is said to come. pro
batly, from Capt. Bingham himself; but
as his name is not affixed to it, We decline
publishing ): We have already given ore
British account, which is in many respects
conformable to the present. We are un-
willing to give place to every unofficial
statement in opposition to Commodore
Rodgers's letter. The account in ques-
t;ou asserts, that the Little Belt hailed
FIRST; that after an action of three quarters
of an ho,sr, the President was discovered
TO be OF fire, &c. Great stress is laid
nnon one circumstance which is mention
ed. viz. that after the action. Commodore
Rodgers senta message on board the Lit
lie Belt, with an apology, that had he
. known the force was so inferior he would
NOT have fred" As all these points are
Neither contradicted or passed over by the
i Eommodorc, We must suspend an opinion
at least until an c6iciat statement Of the
affair shall be published by the British
government writing tie above.
Awe have received Capt. Binsh.m's state
&ment, to which we refer.

MR. SNOwDEN,
observe that you have commenced the
re publication of work lately issued
from the press in Baltimore, said to be
written by Mr.. Robert Smith. Youpro-
fess the most rigid impartiality on the
subject. 1t is not my business to ques-
ton your sincerity; but, Sir, does it not
appear partial, to publish only one side
Of q story !? Is it not unfair 7 You lend
your aid to circulate the most violent "a
mse of the President, from an avoWed
personal enemy, without the shadow OF a
reply. Twill leave it to yourself to de-
tcrnine, whether this is generous. You
must be aware that tits impossible Tor the
President to stoop from his exalted sta
ton to rerei the insinuations OF the late
Secretary ana, it would be absurd to ex-
nect that he should resign for that pur-
pose. -,
But if you are really as candid as you
pretend, | would enquire, Sir, whether
you or the Federal party generally be-
