Mr.. Adamss Letter with ar .dhhendi.r.
we sake this occasion 10 inform The
pubic that since we announced our
intention Of publishing the letter of MIR.
Adams, we have received from that gen
tleman IAN APPENDIX which will
he added TO the pamphlet. Ii has been
drawn from him by the measured and
deliberate attack upon him by colonel
PIC KERING, in his late Review Of the
Cunningham Correspondence. The
secretary OF state, in this, as in all other
cases'when he appears before the public,
acts merely on the defensive. The
Appendix is written with his accustomed
acumen and elevation of style. We
predict 1t will be sought for with great
avidiiy by he American public, and that
col. Pickering will be laid in the
political tomb Of Russell and Smyth.
