Accounts from Washington concur in the belle that misunderstanding exists at present between the two principal officers of the General Govern ment. This has grown out of the Seminole war and the part that Mir Calhoun took in reprobatinr the co"duct of General Jackson, while he was d member of President Monroe's Cabinet The be- lief exists that Mir Calhoun wished to punish the General in q summary and high handed way for his conduct in that campaign and that Mir Adams with some ofthe other members ofthe Cabinet op- posed those successfully, and justified the conduct Of the commanding General in passing over into the province ofa neutral nation to arrest the treebooters, Ambrister and Arbuthnot who, as traders in the Spanish Territory, had occasioned all the troubles in that quater. Not succeeding in the measures to mpeach the General for violation of orders, and the subject making some noise at the time, Mr Calhoun seems to have entirely shifted his ground, and contrived to rest the odium of these measures upon another member of Mir Monroe's Ca blnet at the time namely, Mir Crawford In this situation matters have been smothered for twelve years until accident has brought them to light It is understood that President Jackson did not take ex- captions at the opinion Mf Calhoun entertained of his conduct d government officer, in 1918, but is dissatisfied that pretended friend should have denied the part he bore in the Cabinet council of Mir Moiroe. The Globe, new paper lately established at the seat of government under able editor and decided friend of the President points to sevenl hostile movements by the friends of the Vice Presi- dent in relation to the constitutional amendment re- commended in the two annual messages of the Pre- sideni.
 While the President has been laboring to bring about such an alteration of the constitution as will exclude the election of Chief Magistrate from the
 House ofRepresentatives, and giving to the peo- pie, the friends of tie Vice President have been striving to obtain another object which if successful will render President Jackson ineligible for asecond term Just Of distust, therefore exists, who- ther the immediate friends ofhe Vice President are friendly to such an alteration as would exclude the election of President and Vice President from the House ofRepreseniatives, ahongh. they have been the loundest advocates for change.
 The Globe admits that the zeal for this amend ment, which ardent previous to the late election Of President, has evaporated ill secondary consideration to limit tie term of Chief Magistrate to -four years, and in truhto egislate President Jack son from the list of ofcandidaes

marksmen stepped forward, and asked leave to bring him down. Ferguson per. emptorily refused; but ne went to the skirt oi the wood. and. showing himself. incnaeed the Americans with several ri. iiess wiiie ne called 10 him, and made slgns for him b come in. The mounted oilcer saw his enemies, drew lis s.rein. and sat looking at them astentircly. for t few moments.
 A sergeant now offered to. hit the 1orses without injuring the rider. But Ferguson still withheld his consent. :,f- lhrmlng, that 1t was Washington recon noltering and that lie would not be the instrument of placing the life Of 50 srreat 2 man i'll jeopardy, by so unfair means. The horseman turned, and rode slowly away. When the British army reached Philadelphia, MT. De LanceY ssss pro noted to majority, in another corps. and Ferguson, not long after, went to the South, where he was killed, at Kings mountain. To the last moment Mai. Ferguson, maintained that the officer whose life he had spared was Washing- ton; and thatitispr probable that the story in circulation has proceeded from this opinion. But oil the other hand, Mr. i3cLancey, ,to whom the person of Wash ington was necessarily so we'll known. constantly affirmed that his commarder was mistaken. ] have often heard MT. De Lancey relate these cireumstatces and though lle never Iretended to be sure of the person of the unknown horse- man fl was his opinion, from some par ticulars of dress and stature that it was thc Count Pulaski.
 Though m css:so1 .llsc .tlsc f |. individual whom he spared, the merit of Maj. Ferguson is not al all diminished hy q knowledge of the truth. cor- rect the mistake, only because the ac- count Is at variance with the probable situation of Washington, at so irnpor- tant moment; and because every cir cumsfanee connected witI, sife public or private history of that ilustrous mat.. iaas great interest, not only with his own but the whole civilized world.

 Ger ot Brandgaiae, os ias becn stated.
 Mr. COOPER. the distinguished Amer ican author, has addressed from Paris, under date of 2stIi 2assttIi a letter
 Mir. Skinner, Editor of the American Turf Register and Sporting Magazine, on the subject of horses. and takes the occasion to correct an historical error by the following observations:
 sWhile troubling you with this letter, will take an opportunity of correcting an error, which has been very generally circulated. and is even to De found in se- verdi historical works, as well as in num- hefiess magazines. Among others who have fallen into the mistake to which 1 alinde, Bigland in his View of the World relates an anecdote, by which il would appears that at Brandywine the life of Washington was at the mer- cv of the celebrated British riteman, Major Ferguson, who was too generous to profit by this advantage.
 MT. J. r. De I.ancey, Gather of Mrs. Cooper,) though Of q well known Amc- rican family, was regularly educated for the British army, in which he recciv- ed commission at eighteen. In i77i he was quartered at Philadelphia, with part of his corps, the 18th of the Roy al Irish. Washington was then del egatc in Congress, and, in consequence of his having dired with the mess of the 18th, and of the intercourse which nat urally existed between gentlemen of the different prices through their family connection and aequaintances, Mir. De I.ancey had perfect knowledge of his person. When the army af Howe " as preparing toembark forthc Chesapeake. corps Of riilemen was organized, by drafting picked men, from the different
 regiments, and was placed under ts'e command of Major Ferguson, who had invented several improvements, Tn. the
 rifle, and who lad acquired skill in the
 Use of that weapon. Of this corps, MT. De Lancey was appointed the secolsd l in commai.d. During the mannuvres l which preceded the battle of Brandy wine. these rifemen were kept skirmlsh- ine in advance of one of the British col. uunns. They had crossed some open ground, in which Ferguson was wound l ed in ths. arm. and had taken 4 apositiof ;n the skirt of thick wood. While
 NIT. De Lancey. was occupied inarrang inp a sing for the wounded arm of Fer
 eason, 1t was reported that an American officer of rank, attended onlA by amoult ed orderly, had ridden into the opel ground, and was then within pointblanl , rifle sbot. Two os three of the bes
