WASHINGTON, January 30, 1851.
 DEAR SIR My recollection having been called to letter received from the Hon. w H Crawford in July, lS30, wherein he asks my attention to "circum- stances that transpred during the cabinet delibera- lions, on the events of the Seminole war;" and my reply thereto: It is proper for to state, that swered Mir Crawford as though he alluded to trans actions which took place while was in MT Mon roes cabinet; but since my arrival here this season,
 learn for the rsttime, that the cabinet meeting al- luded to by Mir Crawford, was held after l retired from the cabinet.* Ileft Washington in company with President Monroe and yourself, for Norfolk by the way of Annapolis, on the 18th May, 1918. Now, Sir, l do not pretend to know one word of what was said or done at any subsequent meetings and do therefore distlam and say that my letter in an- swer to MT Crawford must not be interpreted so as sMr crowninsed could been present at any bnet council the Seminole afar The first meeting that subject took place the 18th 10th of July, sl8 Mfr Monne having rrturned the 14th from his residence in oudon.

 this fact. So firmly was it impressed upon his mind that Mir Calhoun had been his foremost advocate, that on his way 10 Washington, when his conduct was in question before Congress, at public dinner in Virginia he toasted ".John C. Calhoun" as "an honest man, the noblest aoork cf GOd" He always supposed MT Crawford to be his only enemy in MT Monroes cabinet and openly gave vent to his feel ings. All this Mir Calhoun permitted in silence.
 After his cOnfession he attempts to show that Mir Crawford has given false account of some minor incidents connected with this affair." That, MT Craw- ford and his friends will probably settle with him !; but what if MT Crawford is mistaken in those poins7 Does it in the least affect Mir Cahoun's conduct to- wards Gen. Jackson? What if Mir Crawford was notactuated in disclosing this matter by the motives he adduces --does that prove that Mir Calhoun did not make Gen Jackson believe he was his friend when in fact he was secretly acting as his enemy? Or, General Jacksons confidential letters to MT Monroe was not before the cabinet ;-does that prove Mir Calhoun innocent of the charges the Presi- dent makes against him3
 Having led the reader an useless journey over these subjects he begins to complain of the in which Me truth has fndiiy reached the Presidents CUTS! He is very curious to know the names of eve " body who has heard or said word about it. Does he want somebody to attack for the purpose of lead ing off the public mind from an unbiased view of his own conduct2 The knowledge of names, he says is important. h'A NtsHAo4NA'
 Now, does he pretend that the persons whose names were withheld, knew any thing about his con duct in MT Monroes cabinet or his intercourse with General Jackson? Not at all But he seems to think they had some personal motive in bringing the truth to the knowledge of the President lift were so, would it alter the facti Would it at all exten- ate his own conduct2 -F5 ttdss1 1s.fT f5f

be- had at SIS Western sells at 5 81 a6 s A
sale of good Fredericksburg Wheat has been
made at ll6a cents. Rye has advanced and is
scarce; sales of Northern at "a cents.
In colonial produce no sale of consequence
have taken place. The last Price Current states
the stock Of Coffee in hand, in and out of bond,
as little short of $4,000 bags. Although the cor
rectness of this number has been called in gues-
ton, we are inclined to believe that it is very
near the truth. The late favorable advices from
Europe in regard to this article have as yet pro-
ducrd 10 perceptible effect; they have rather tend
ell to mpede operations on the place, as it induc-
sd holders to advance their pretenslons without
encouraging dealers sufficiently to meet them.-
About 5000 bags are now shipping.
In Sugar nothing has been done, except in n.
Orleans at auction and the prices paid there, are,
we think, shade lower.
The Cotton market exhibits the same charac-
ter of langour which it did at the close of last
week. and noted in our Price Current of Monday
morning is fully established. Yesterday and to-
dav some small safes have been made. Holders
are anxious to realize.
There are strong indications that by the next
packet the Exchange on London will have de-
clincd perhaps one half per cent.-Couricr.
