JAMES MADISON.
MR ISGERsoLL.
From the N. Y. Courier and Enquirer.

On reading MT lNGHAMS statement III reiatioH to what Col. JOHNSON told him of General JAcKsoS's threat to send foreign minister out of the country in consequence of his ady's having joined in con spiracy against. Mrs EATON; we were both surprised and disgusted, at what appeared to us,a most pal pable misrepresentation
 Mir Ingham says Colonel Johnson informed him, the President had heard that the lady of n foreign minister had joined in the conspiracy against Mrs Eaton and he had sworn that he would send her and her husband home if he could not put an end 10 such doings. replied that it could hardly be pos sible that the President contemplated such step Col. J. replied that he certainly did"
 He subsequently went to the President, and thus describes what passed at their interview.
 "He (the Presiden) went into long argument to show how innocent a woman Mrs Eaton was and how much she had been persecuted and mentioned the names of number of ladies who had been ac- tive in this persecution and that the lady of foreign minister was also one of the conspirators adding. that he would send her and her husband home, and teach him and his master that the wife of member of his cabinet was not to be thus treated. That the lady of foreign minister before alluded to had insulted her at Baron Krudner's party. l re- marked, that injustice might be done to that la dy on that occasion; although she might not choose to associate with Mrs Eaton, did not think she in- tended to insult her; she might have supposed that there was some design not altogether respectful to herself in the offer of the attendance to supper of the Secretary of War; whose wife she did not visit in stead of the Secretary of State, which, according to the usual practice, she probably considered herself entitled to-. iras present and sa,o most of ,ehd had Happened She evidently thougM herself aggriered al something but acted ,oith much dignity on the occa- sion. saw no appearance of insult offered to Mrs Eaton. He replied that he had been fully informed, and knew all about it. and but for certain reasons which he mentioned, he would have sent the for ei minister hflnra to and his wife home immediately"
 We do not believe word of all this; and ask the attention of our readers to the testimony of Colonel Johnson. The Colonel not only denies that the President ever authorized him to allude to the non intercourse between Mrs Eaton and the other Ladies; but adds, "f Ihad erer communicated such an idea,
 sOuid hare done the most oanton act ct injustice 10
 the President; for hs discianed on all occasions, any right, desire intention to regulate the pruate social intercourse of his Cabinet The President had been induced to beere that part of has Cabinet had entered into deep laid scheme to drire Mjor Eaton from hts Cabinet, and cf dis he complained"
 So far then, from the Presidents having directed Col Johnson to require that the families of Messrs Ingham, Branch and Berrien, should associate witt Mrs Eaton, "he disciamed on all occasions, any right desire to make such requisition; and it is equally evident that the story about 'the Lady of 6 foreign minister is an invention of MT highlands.
 As the Chevalier HUyGENs-the representative of the King Of Holland was the only married Mn ister at Washington, Madame HUYGENs is the lady alluded to, and there can be impropriety in men tioning her name. She is now in this city, and 1T the face of Mir highlands impudent assertion and ia brcaon, that he witnessed the transaction at Baror Krudner's, and that she evidently thought her self aggreved;" we say it Is untrue. Madame Huy gems says she is not conscious that any thing occur red at which she ought to have taken offence; ant is very certain that she neither thought herself az grieved" or by her conduct, authorized such an in ference; and so far from General Jackson's havin, understood or believed that on the occasion alluded to, the Dutch Minister or his lady, nsulted Mrs Fla ton-t so happened that the Chevaer became nds posed in consequence of exposure on that evening and two days afterwards, was called upon by Gen Jackson in person, who made many kind enquiries after his health, and spent sometime with Madame Huygens in friendly conversation. Both the Cheva Tier and Madame Huygens, are held in high estima ton by the President, and they have expressed a warm personal friendship for Mir Van Buren.
 Thus then is this much of MT Ingham's statemen proved to be false, and who is there amongst hi warmest partzans who will pretend to believe an, portion of his story, after the most material portoi of it-and that in relation to the lady of Foreigl Ambassndor-is demonstrated to be premeditatet and deliberate falsehood. His testimony canno hereafter be quoted by any party.
