Intelligencer to publish ii. No great
movement of u party, with whom the
Editors of the Intelligencer are closely
confidential, against Mr.. GalIatin, and
against the Administration by whose
instructions he acted, was connected
with, or could be aided by, the nom
publication of his correspondence. No
promise is believed to have been made
and broken by them, that they would
publish it. They have inserted no sum
mary, by a nameless Senator, Of argu-
ments in Senate against Mr. Gallatin's
correspondence. Nor was the irnmedi-
ate and correct publication Of the whole
OF IT, important to the justification of
the President and his administration,
and OF two thirds OF the Senate for gil
wing any sanction to 1t; against the
combined exertions Of concentrical POI
liticians at different points of the Union.
1t was scarcely possible for the Editors
of the lntelligencer to have adduced an
illustration more unsuitable TO proye
either their friendliness TO the adminis-
tration, or their impartiality.
liz the charges Of the Editors of the
National Inteligencer against the Sc
crctary Of State, publicly made, under
the guise Of naked facts, have been
shown to be unsustained and unsustain-
able, they may close the controversy
with reflection which they viii find

From the National intcligcncer, July ~.
10 our very great satisfaction, the
Secretary OF State has declared, in the
National Journal, his determination to
end his controversy with the National
intelligencen As i was very far from
being of our seeking, neither shall wa

In closing this controversy, the most
unwclcomc in which il has ever been
our fortune to be involved. we can so
peal with confidence to the readers oC
this print, to the public at large, and.
even to the particular friends Of the Sc
cretary OF State, whether in its origin
or progress we have exceeded tha
limits Of a justifable self defence; whe-
Their we have exhibited any thing like
wanton assault; and whether our replies
compared with the structures Of thu
Secretary, have not been characterized
by an obvious and studied forbearaure.

how to value, than the elevated indiyid-

far, indeed, from being cqpscious Of any
vindictiye feeling toyai4s that eminent
citizen, we can truly affirm that the
chief cause Of our regret IN this contro-
verss has been to see great rliad, dis

From the Baidmo,e Federal Cosesse.
The semi-o6icidl dispute, we sup
pose, is concluded BY tie short rejoin-
der OF the Secretary, which we copy.
to-day from the National Journal. The
result Of this dispute is to prove to the
nation, that the Secretary Of State
as he says by the authority Of the Pre-
sident, has, determined, for an appa~
rcntly very inadequate cause, to with
draw, in part al icast. the confidence
and patronage Of the Administration
