 Debate in the House of Representatives. It has been several times noticed already in this paper that the debate going on in Con- gress upon the retreRchn,ent resolution is mark ed with the most disgracefu personalities. Mr. Everett vindicated in his speech, the course and cause of the administration, and with a view to show that certain allusiens made by Mr. Carson, of N. c. to imputa- tions upon the character of Mrs. Jacksons were not more applicable to one side than to the other Sdverted to a charge recently cir culated in New Hampshire. by a Mir. Isaac Hill, editor of the Patriot, (a paper of the character of the N. Y. Enquirer and the Washington Telegraph,) of the most infa- nous kind, against Mrs. Adams and narra- ted the following anecdote as the occasion of it :-
 "It so happened that in the family of MT. and Mrs. Adams at St. Petersburgh, was virtuous and respectable young woman, who had gone with them from Boston, in the ca pacity of attendant on their infant child, pos 1 sessng an unusual share of personal beauty, ! and an education above her employment m life. On her arrival at St. Petersburgh she l heard the stories, such as often cirCulates in the European capitals, whether true or false, of the private life and habits of the Empe- TOT. These stories formed part of the let ters which she wrote to her friends in Ame rica. Gentlemen know that in many coun- tries in Europe (and it was especially SO at the period in question, which was one of anx ious political exCltemenD letters committed to the post office are opened by the police. It was d, ne in this case. and coming as they did from person in the family of a foreign minister, and deeling so freely with the Elm peror's character, the letters of this indivdu- al were submitted by the police to the Elm peror, and by him to the Empress, as mat ter of pleasantly to both. About this time, by an act of attention not unusual toward the families of Foreign Ministers, the Empress requested that the infant child of Mrs. Ad- ans should be sent on visit to the palace. This was accordingly done, under the charge of the individual mentioned, and the letters alluded to, and her appearance, caused her to be the object of some slight notice on the part of the Emperor and Empress. This IS the whole of the affair. She lived in the family of Mr. A. until she returned to Boston-mar ried there respectable citizen, from having been the servant became the friend and visit ing acquaintance of MT. and Mrs. A. and is now deceased, Such are the real facts" Upon these facts was founded the infamous imputation that this young woman was de- signedly thrown iH the Emperor's way by Mrs. A., and the most indecent terms in the language are used by the scoundrel who pub fishes the story, in order to give zest to its details of infamy and falsehood.
 MT. ADAMs.-If ever there was striking l illustration of the common remark, that no character, nor integrity, nor services. can ex- | empt public man from the assaults of caum- ny, it is furnished in the instance of Mir. Ad- ans. Plain, simple, lsborious, honest he has been charged with profuse, extrava 5ant, and unlawful demands upon the public treasury with habits of life directly the opposite to those he is known to possess-and with en- cOuragng and proiting by abuses, rcpugnant with all his sentiments, opinions and prac- tce. Nor has it been from obscure and fil- thy sources alone. that these disgusting fab relations have been poured forth, On the floor of Congress. in legislative resolves, in State Conventions, they have been repeated and enlarged upon, until the reiteration of falsehood has in some degree produced the effect of truth. Two charges especially, a. mong the rest, have been dwelt upOn-the large sums received by Mir. Adams. in the various public stations he has filled, and the vier and lower islander of the billiard table.
 To these two charges. as well as to several others. Mir. Everett took upon himself last week, in the able speech he delivered upon the retrenchment resolution, to reply in de- tail: and certainly no case was ever more clearly made out, than that in each and every particular of imputed wrong in these char ges. there was nothing but sheer and unqual- flied fabrication. We have to day given place to those portions of the speech. which, long as they are, we may call in fairness up
 on those of our readers who take an interest in the reputation of our puplic men, (and all
 should) to peruse with attention.
 There is another topic. so we'll touched by
 MT. Everett, as to the character of this re-
 trenchment debate. and the party by which
 it was provoked, that we have also thought
 it expedient to republish his remarks--the
 rather as some scurvy jester who writes let
 ters from Washington to the New-York En-
