TO THE PUBLIC.

My name being mentioned in the
foregoing extrac: from the Nafi0adi
htehgeHcer, deem it TO be my duty
to declare, that having been prelenr az
the meeting az Neu-11rk therein al
ludet to, the statement Of the pro.
ceedipgs of that meeting is entirely
false. l also know that no persons
were authorized by that meeting to
make any communication to Mr..
CLINTON, nor was any made or re-
ported 70 the meeting from him. !
cannot vouch for that gentleman's
opinions, having never spoken to him
in my life, nor seen him but once,
and then while he was presiding in
a Court Of Justice - but the intina-
ton of the expressions or sentiments
ascribed TO Mr. CLINTON, as " made
to certain member Of the caucus,
is entirely new to me. and repugnant
to every representation of his political
creed which has come TO my kn vi

gTHE NEW YORK COALITION.
1t has been stated in most of the
public prints that great Caucus had
been held in Ne1U 1ork, composed Of
many distinguished gentlemen OF the
Federal Party. We now learn, that
at thar Caucus the resolutions taken
of most importance, were.

In the incidental discussions to
which these points gave location,
Messrs OTIS, GovERNF uR MORRIS,
and we believe K. GooDLoE HARPER
gave a decided preference to Mr..
CLINTON and a meeting betweca
this gentleman and certain number
of the caucus, Of 7yb2m Gov. MORRIS
7vas one, was had. and in this meeting
MIR. CLINTON declared, That ali pallt-

The following letter has been communi.
Gated to Us by friend, and shews the views
of the government as to the property which
has recently arrived from Great. Britain,
under circumstances of peculiar hardship.
We look upon this as another link of that
chain of depression with which the present
men in power, have loaded the m Of
the country and a poor miserable expe-
dent to replenish a treasury, which mis-
conduct, if nothing worse, has emptied.
Extract Of a letter from Bahim9re, dated
September 2.
"Some of our merchants waited on MI.
Secretary Gallatin last evening, TO know
what relief government would afford ia the
case Of the ship Tom Hazard, carried to
Norfolk from Liverpool, bound to Balti-
more. They first enquired if there was
no mode by which the vessel might be
brought into this district, where she was
originally bound. His answer was-No.
She must be seized and tried in the district
where she first arrived. They next en-
CURED if he could not direct that bonds in
baltimore should be given in Norfolk, to
save the expence and inconvenience of
giving them there. He replied, he was
opposed to bonding altogether; that if
bonds were given the treasury w0uH grant
no relief; that if relief was expected, it
must be from Congress--That the course

must then be sold under direction Of the
collector ; that the proceeds would, in the
first instance, be applied TO the pay ment of
the duties and incidental expences aoy
balance remaining, appropriated to REIN
bursting the owners their costs and charges
and any remaining surplus to be distributed
according to law. He was also asked IT
the owners could not obtain their goods
