between Commodore Porter and myself. For
NV own part, know no gust reason why this
state of feeling should exist between us, and
have no hesitation in declaring, that have me-
YER directly or indirectly attempted to injure
him either while acting under his command, or
since IN, return to the United States. This de-
caration, doubt not, will be received in the
Same spirit of traukDess with which il is offered.
have taken no notice of the suggestion, that
was DESTROYS TO inlure the character of G General
Wives. The idea that any thing that have ever
said, could be perverted into evidence of such
design, has never entered iutu my head. All
that know ofhim is, that he appears To be vc-
~ much of Il gentleman, and that as far rs
know and believe, he has co-opcrated actively
and honorably with our forces in the suppression
ofpiracy.
This publication has been delayed for some
time, under the expectation, that the writer in
the Georgian, upon seeing the Herald of the
Goth October, would have had the magnanimity
to withdraw his aspersions ofmc.
l now take my leave OF him, and fake this
method of informing him, that, as | propose to
leave the United States within a month, on
avoyage of two or three years, nv time will be
too much occupied with official duties, and with
preparations for my departure, to afford me an
opportunity (even if l felt the inclination) to
appear again IN the public papers. have
therefore, to ask, il he has any further discuss-
on with me on the subject of the Sagunca Cal
ilego, or any other, that the public may not be
troubled with it, but that il may he had either
by way of conversation or of letter, in which
last case, must beg of him to have the good
ness to let me know to whom am to address
my reply.
