The Wilmingtonian, and Delaware register. (Wilmington, Del.) 1824-1825, 1825-02-10

in our paper Of to-day-it shall meet our
carlice; attention next week.
The bill to incorporate the Lafayette AS
syunl, for tile relief Of Widows and orphan
children, has passed the Senate.
1t will be seen by referring to our columns
to- day, that misunderstanding has taken
place at Washington between the friends Of
Gen. Jackson ana those of Mr.. Clay, of SO ag
grayated nature, that the latter gentleman
has thought proper to come out and call the
offending party to an account. Mr.. Clay's
Gard, appeared in our paper Of last week.
We were not then in possession OF "hnoth-
err Card" and the letter alluded to by Mr..
Clay, but present them this week. Mr.,
/ CLAY has requested of the House that a Com
mittee of investigation should be appointed,
that the public may be satisfied as to the
truth of the charges alledged against him.
Mr.. kremer tells the House, that he "holds
himself ready TO prove, to the satisfaction of
unprecedented minds, enough to satisfy them
of the accuracy Of the statements which arc
contained in that letter, to the extent that
they concern the course and conduct OF IL.
Clay" Mr.. Clay is hghminded man, and
we think too honorable to have been guilty
ofthosc chargcs--a Committee however, has
been appointed, composed Of the following
gentlemen, viz. p. p Barbour, Webster, l..
M'Lane, Taylor, Forsyth, Saunders and
Rankin.
Tie Prcs4dency.-Ycstcrday was the ay,
upon which, agrecably to the Constitution,
the votes of the Electors of President and
Vice President of theUnited States should be
opened and made known. We already know
that no election has been made by this mode,
and it now devolyes upon the House OF Rep
rcscntatives. What the issue will be, no one
at this distance can safely say, yet We be-
t licvc that the contest lays between Jack.
!. son and Adams, and if the friends of Mr.
Crawford do not go over to the General,
i the union which will be formed by the Ad-
i ans and Clay party lin favor of the former)
7 in consequence of Mr.. Krcmer's letter, will,
!, without doubt secure his election. The re-
i suit will not be known here before Friday,
S when we shall, without delay, lay it before
our friends.
Eire.-About 10 O'Clock last evening fire
:, broke out i'll the shop OF Mr. II. Whitsal, scader
cooper, Of this place, which burnt il to the ground
The adjoining property, belonging to Mr.. Dunot
n and Mrs. M'Ivain was considerably injured, bu
: owing to the usual good judgment and activity
n our remen, who seem to have caught the ami
nation of those ofoar ncighboring city, Phiklicl
:. pha, the progress Of the flames was checked,
and as soon as possible, cXtinguishcl This is the
: second time this industrious mechanic has been
o burnt out within few years, and we sin
$ ccrcly ssmpathizc with him in his affecting mis-
- fortune.
i Through the medium of the National In
n tcllgencer we arc informed that the British
Is Government has communicated to this Gov
= eminent through our Minister at London
- the interesting information that that Gov.
if eminent has come to the determination to ne
&c eogni-c the indehenaance of 1fecico ant

II ing declaration as to the latter, until thu
i. effect of the contest in Peru, be more Ger
e tainly developed; and that this determine
y ton will be communicated successfully to al
,f the other foreign powers.
ID we have received adyiccs from Washington
IS by this mornings mail, which state that Mr. IRE
D. mer has declined appearing before the committed
= appointed by the House of Representatives, t
). examine his charges against Mr.. Clay. The In
S, tcligcncer states;-
n 1t is understood that Mr. Kremer, in hi
a communication to the Committee, has pro
is tested, in very decided terms, against TIN
r authority of the House of Representatives
lis or of their committee of inquiry, to hold hin
= responsible for having written the lette
III which had been the foundation OF this inqui
be ~, and he has also protested against tn
ar right of the committee to place him in tn
We attitude of an accusor, and especially upo
