The committee appointed by The legisla-

the charges OF Governor Clinton against the
general government, have made repor:'
and accompany it with long string OF do
cuments to prove that the accusations are
false. Governor Clinton proved as far as
oahs would go, that the charges were 'rue'
Considering The high responsibility OF The

repel them, how are we to judge OF this
matter when they swear both ways? When
the sanctity OF an oath is disregarded to

FROM HAVANA AND SPAIN.
From our Correspondent at Havana, we

the French ship Maria Theresa, from Bor-
deaux.
The Spanish brig Alerta, had arrived, in
80 days from Cadz, bringing Madrid pa
pers to the 10th January. The Havana
Editor publishes some extracts, which are
not OF much importance, There is not, how
ever. one syllable in them, or in the verbal
report of the capt Of ihebrig, relative 10 the
statement made in the English Journals,
said to be on the authority OF private letters
from Madrid, that Ferdinand the 9TH, had
been required to attend the Congress at
Laybach; and that an extraordinary meet
ing of the Cortes had been called for the
9th January, to deliberate whether permis-
sion should be granted him to leave Spain
for that purpose. The statement must then
have had no foundation in truth; or it would
have been confirmed by advic.s so many
days later.
The U. S. schooner .Nonsuch. Lieut.. Tur-
ner, from cruize, arrived at Havana on the
