MORGAN.-The following remarks were pre-.
pared to accompany the letter of Capt. Brandt,
published last evening, but were excluded for want
of room AS at this distance from the circle in
which he moves, his character may not be distinct
ly known, Ito quote the Editor of the Quebec
Mercury,) it is but justice, since his name has
been brought forward, to say, that MIR. Brandt is
generally respected and there need be no hesita-
ton in believing what he says lie is well edu-
Gated young man, and was as much esteemed by
the Officers Of the Division of His Majesty's Ar
my, with which he served during the last Amer
ican war, for his gentlemanly manners IN society,
as for his courage and humanity in the field. Mr..
Brandt some time ago visited England, and while
there surprised the public and the poet, Thomas
Campbell, by letter, as crcditable to his tllial
feelings as to his literary attanments in which he
successfully vindicated the character OF his
deceased father, Joseph Brandt. from the asper-
sons cast upon it, without sufficient inquiry, by
Mr.. Campbell, in the beautiful but unfaithful mar
ratvc poem of 6 Gertrude of Wyoming"
Thus, then, every material point of the aledged
discoveries of the celebrated New Ark Conven-
tion, has been successively overthrown. We were
told that Morgan was taken to Niagara and butch
cred, and that Mr.. Chaplin, of Buffalo, was one Of
the murIerers. But the story proved not to be
true: We were told that traces of blood &c.
were found IN Fort Niagara But tnat IS NOT true
We were told that Capt. Brandt was consulted
about killing him, or putting him away; and that
was not true. We have all along been told, more
over, that there was conspiracy originally, to
get Morgan from Batavia, to Canandaigua, on
false accusation OF larceny: And now jury has
solemnly declared that that story was likewise un-
true. And one of the men convicted at Canaan
dagua, was convicted by means of perjury.

from the fact of Morsan's having left that pro-
vince over head and ears in debt, that he dares
not show himself there, and suggests reasons why
