n the Hermitage in order to do Uenerai
Tackson,s writing, there was report IN clrcua-
lion that Mr.. Calhoun, and not Mr.. Crawford,
yss the member Of Mr.. Munroe's cabinet, who
r,oved in council for Cen. Jackson's arrest
Mr. Lee wrote to MIR. Calhoun, to know whether
the report was correct.
Mr.. Calhoun returned an answer to Mr.. Lee >
inquiry, anu stated the part he took IN the
business: and in order that Gen. Jackson
should see it, he incl0sed the letter TO Mr..
Lee in one which he addressed to Gen. Jack
son. When the President wrote his hrst letter
last spring to Mr.. Calhoun, he preten'ed he had
lust heard for the first time that MIR. L. had at
yised; Mr.. Monroe to arrest him. lm answer,
Nr. Calhoun said he mast he mistaken; that he
had heard of it before and mentioned his having
enclosed an open letter to Mr.. Lee in one ad-
dressed to him. which he had requested General
Jackson to read. The President considers this
GIsehood direct. | think Mr.. Calhoun has
rome too far in saving that the President must
lave heard of it before. The fact that Mr. Cal
houn wrote letter TO Gen. jackson, does not
raise the slightest presumption that lie ever saw

The general restrictions imposed by the white
tha al lrpr
tons Of Mr. Lee. lie was not permitted to see
many of his letters or papers, and none OF them
that might have tendency to make him angry
Such is the case now: he sees no other papers
than those that Hatter him. He knows as little
of what is doing in either of the departments as
any visitor at Washington. A few days since, a
gentleman called on the President from the state
of Delaware and presented his recommendations
for the appointment of Consul at jamaica
Among them was one from Mr.. M Lane, at Lon
dJn. The President said they were very salts
tory. and gave the gentleman to understand that
he would be nominated; but he remarked to him
that he had better call on Mr. Van Buren,. and
leave his papers with him. He further stated,
that the nomination would not be made for some
time, and that he was then in very great hurry.
The gentleman went of full of hope and expec-
tatlol. and blessed the fates that made him a
Jackson man; and gave HIM Consuship. He
went to the Department of State to leave his
papers, and make known his success to Mr.. Van
Barren. He was told, however, TO his great grief
aud disappointment. that the appointment was al
ready given to Mr.. Harrison, and thai be was
then on h,s passage TO Jamaica. The nomination
Of Mr.. Harrison has not been made to the Sc
nate: but that is of little Importance at this time
when the President does not consult that body
in the appointment of ministers.
