" Tomb of Washington and Judge Washington

/" Tomb Of Washington" and Judge Washington.
In reply to letter of Judge I" Bush. Washing
ton," Of the 9Th inst, addressed to Messrs.
kiSnowden & Thornton, Editors Of the Alexsn.
dra Gazette" we state, that We had no intention
to :" mlsrepresent" the conduct OF the Judge upon
the occasion alluded to. The subject was much
alked of, and excited some feeling in the public
mind at this place, and we heard it, we gave it.
Our respect for Judge Washington as an individual
and the near relative Of the great Father of In
dependence whose name he BEARS would not per
init us to do any act to Intentionally m;srepresen,'
him. We beg him to be assured of the truth oil
this declaration.
Since the publication of Judge Washington
which attributes to US Misrepresentation we
have taken the trouble to ascertain the facts in this
case, the substance OF which we give to the public
without any comment, and for the truth OF which
We vouch.
About thirty members Of Congress, feeling de
sire to visit the " Tomb OF Washington at Mount
Vernon, hired the steam boat " Enterprise ON the
18th inst to take them to thai place rendered dear
To every American who is proud of his country.
1t was the only leisure day that they could take
from their arduous duties, which were drawing 10
close, to pay devotion to the memory OF their
Country's best friend. The occasion was calculated
10 draw forth not only the tendcrest and most grae
| tul feelings OF the human heart. but carried with it
those moral reflections inculca,ed by the sublime
doctrines OF the christian religion. With these sen
uments the visit was undertaken, and the day as
sisted to inspire those reverentia and religious ee
ings without which, the I" Tomb Of Washington
ought never to be approached. The steam boat
| mao proceeded some distance when the passengers
were informed (ony one or two Of them ever
| having heard OF such thing,) that the proprietor
OF Mount Vernon" would not permit passengers
to land from on board Of steam boats, a consul

Rurus KING-We are satisfied, that it was Mr..
Kings intention, when he declined re election TO
the Senate, to spend the remainder Of his Lille in re-
tirement, and that he was induced TO accept the
mission to England from the impression on the
part ofthe Executive, that his former familiarity with
certain points. which have been long under conslde-
ration, and which our government wished to press
home upon the Cabinet Of ST. James, rendered him
proper person to send upon the mission, and that
mis- acceptance was solely upon the ground that his
absence would be Of short duration.

the Braziiians were defeated with the loss Of a

From the general complexion OF the newspa-
per intelligence that Aoated in upon us on
Thursday night, there are some reasons to ap-
prehend that the tranquility Of Europe is not
perfectly secure. We do not usually place any
great reliance upon the continental papers,
respecting matters of general policy. The po-
liticians OF the different countries have so many
different views, and interests, that their ac-
counts, and their reasonings, are to be taken
with many grains of allowance. Still, enough
may be gathered from the recent arrivals, to
warrant US in looking forward to measures OF
more than ordinary import
1t is stated that things are by no means set
tied in Russia. Arrests SKILL continue, great
numbers Of persons have been seized, the pri.
sons are all FULL but no trials have taken place,
and, Of course, no punishments have been in
f1icted. Poland, too, is said to be in ferment;
and symptoms Of a conspiracy, like that which
has been detected in Russia, have made their
appearance. The Duke Of Wellington, as was
10 have been expected, was received, and treat
ed at St. Petersburgh with every mark Of dis
tnction and respect But what were the pre-
else objects Of his mission, beyond those of a
complimentary character, is not publicly
known, nor is it known whether he has made
any arrangements respecting the affairs of
Greece and Turkey. In this country, we shall
look 20 the course Of events among the great
powers of Europe with more than ordinary in
terest
Greece appears to be involved in some un-
certainty, and it is feared ia danger. The fall of
Missolonghiis given with an air Of confidence;
and vet we have some doubts Of the correctness
of the account. Indeed. il is at all times difficult
TO know what to believe, with regard TO the
military and naval operations in that part Of
the world. There are SO many persons inter
ested for and against the Greeks, that COM
munications from either are to be taken with
doubt and hesitation. Strange as il may seem,
the Turks have friends, who apparently would
rejoice to see the despotism of ages re-esta-
blished over the miserable Greeks, and the
hopes which they have recently entertained of
freedom, and for the security Of which they
have struggled for several years in manner
highly honorable to them, entirely blasted and
destroyed

From what has becn,. we are Of opinion the
greater part of the trade of Netherlands India
will be a monopoly in their hands, or they will
have such aid and facilities from government,
that private trade cannot fairly compete.
The Insurgents continue inactive. and the
Dutch troops are in fortresses. After the rains
cease, some movements will take place-all is
apparently quiet now. 81

to question from some one present, he said he
