clearly ascertained, that Mr.. G. was The chair
man of the committee on Mr. MS accounts

this venerable patriot is retiring from the tnr
moiis incident TO the life which has been spent
in the service of his country, Mr.. G's antipathy
bursts out with such uncomfortable force. Mr..
Peasants, of the Richmond Wing, has now
boldly advanced the necessity of "supplenentaI
evidence, on the part of Mr.. M. with spirit
which IS unworthy in one, who has until this
period, edited his print in the most liberal and
enlightened manner. Mr.. Peasants has here
toiore been respected for his independent and
manly course; but am sorry 10 say his present
one Is, that Mr.. NJ. having ceased to be in pow

Captain Gerry, who arrived yesterday, re-
ports the affair differently. He was at Milo when
the Greek feet arrived there few DAYS after
the action, and learnt that tie Greeks attache
the Turks about the ltth of November, between
Gambia and Milo, and sentthree fire ships against
them. The Turks however, contrived to avid
the lireshirs by keeping their boats out head
which towed their large s,ips out of the way.
Four of the iire-ships were burnt without produ
cling any effect; but the Greeks gained posses
sion oflour of their encmies' transports. with all
the troops on board, and chased the fleet into
Spina Longa whence there was no probability
of their string towards the Morea this winter.
A violent storm came on soon afterwards, from
which tlie Greeks took shelter under Milo, and
then proceeded TO Hydra.

still continues. An immense amount of cot.

Mr.. Webster and Mr.. Randolph.

Several erroneous reports of the termin-
ation OF the late differences between these
honorable gentlemen having been circulat-
cd, we are happy to bubiish the following ex
tract of a letter, received in Providence from
Washington, said to be from an authentic
source, on the subject:
"IHa$hngton, March 23.
The facts respecting Mr.. Webster arc,
that a challenge was sent to him by Mr..
Randolph, through Mr.. Benton, of the senate.
No further communication took place, till
in a short time the challenge was withdrawn.
There was no interference of the friends of
the parties, so far at least as Mr.. Webster
vas concerned. There was no occasion foi
it. He, without doubt, regarded the chal-
engc as having been prompted by feelings
highly excited, and further disordcrcd by i'll
health. lie WAS persuaded that on due re-
Election the message would be recalled The
event proved that his opinion was a correct
one 'lhe affair terminated here. Mr.. Web
stcr's conduct was marked by a forbcaranct
and delicacy, which won for him, here, ad
dt,onal honor and esteem, and which callct
forth from Mr.. Benton particular ant
unparalleled expression Of admiration."
