a London paper Oh the Gotn o' 1u"''
tracts made by the Boston Editors contain
nothing important, which we have not seen oe>
fore. except an article dated at Vienna, June
9Th. which saws THAT news had just been re-
eeived from Trieste of Lord Coehrane having
obtained a great advantage over Turkish
aeet. Letters, however, from syria say, THAT
The defeat before Athens had flleo all Greece
with CONSERVATION, and that the Greeks COM
nlaiped of Lord Cochrane."
Parliament ass not prorogued On the 2''h
SC June, as had been expected. The discuss
ion on the Corn Laws, was still pending In the
House Of Loiffs.
The Liverpool shipping lists Of the 27'h
Lane. enumerates number Of American YES
els which were soon TO sail from that port;
among others, is. The Ship Virginia, Morrill,,
owned and bound here.
Positive information has been received at
Boston, direct from Pernambuco, that peace
between Buenos Ayres and Brazil was declared
m The 9Th of July. Great reJoieings accom-
panied the annunciation at Pernambuco, and
business, as well as people, wore new aspect.
In Yesterdays Gazette, we recorded the de-
libera,e and uncontrolled opinion Of the Editor
Of the New York Evening Post, in reference to
the insuficIency Of Mr.. Buchanan's statement
as a corroboration CT that Of Gen Jackson. MIR.
Coleman, or FIELD MARSHAL COLEMAN, as he
is commonly called, is man OF acknowledged
talents. and veteran in the Editorial Corps, he
had read the multifarious charges urged by Z.
Beverly, Duff Green, Geo. kremer, Geo. Nc
Duffie, Saml d. Ingham, Maury the Editor oil
the Nashville Republican, and 6nally by Cen.
Jackson himself, against Mr.. Clay; he had read
Mr.. Claws denial and speech, and the Hero's
reply; and he had acknowledged that the ques-
ton would be settled by Mr. Buchanan's state
mcnt, since all the accusers had agreed that he
was the member Of Congress who made the
proposition bargain and corruption in behalf
of Mr.. Clay and his friends. When the state
ment appeared, MIR. Coleman read it ,p1ih az
ieation, and under the first impulses Of honor
aud conscience, declared that REGARD FOR
TRUTH COMPELLED HIM TO CONFESS THAT IT
CAME SHORT OF SUPPORTING GEN. JAcKsps's
ALLEGATIONS. He rs MISTAKEN, says Mr.. Cole
man; THERE Is NO PROOF BEFORE THE PUBLIC,
THAT Ma. CLAY WAS PERSONALLY CONNECTED
WITH ANY IMPROPER OVERTURE WHATEVER. On
the following evening, however, he retracted

L" roneous impressions that were made on our
minds by the perusal Of Mr.. Buchanan's let

pondeat. as well as by the calumnious, abusive
" aud unbecoming observations of the Ameri-
" can Of last evening"
The truth is, that neither the correspondent
nor the Editor of the American, had any in
AuenCe over Mr.. Coleman's mind. When he
first published the s,a,emen, he was under the
Impression that none Of his coadjutors would
again attempt to support Islander; but the next
GREEN, and satisfied him chat the Hero's fol-
lowers were determined TO maintain their po-
sition at all hazards. To retract was death
10 go on could be no worse.
Notwithstanding this sudden regeneration
of one Combination Editor, we will venture to
give the first impressions of another. The New
York Statesman thus speaks of the matter:
In anothe. column, the reader will find the
candid, and, as it appears TO us, the conc usive
Statement of MI. Buchanan, relative to the on
"ly conversation he had with Gen. Jackson on
I" he subjec, in controversy. We say conclu'
sive, because we think it successfully con-
fronts and ought to put TO rest the charge
either direct. or implied, that MIR. Clay by
