 We refer our readers to letter from c. r. Bertrand, which we this day pub- fish, as ., refiitation of an editorial arti- cie on tue subject of the removal of Judg e Bates, which appeared in late number of tie Gazette.
 twill be seen that the removal of Judge Bates is a literal falilment of the threats made at BatesvilIe, by Col. Seyier and hard to be convinced must that man be. yho can for moment dtotitbtt the az enoy of Sovier in the removal of Bates, not withstandng all his assertions to the con- trary. 1t would be doing injustice to the talents of Col. Sevier, to suppose that in an attendance for five years in Washing ton city, lie should not have acquired the art of fmaneuyering behind the curtain, so shrewdly praetised by many political jug glers in that far famed city. The Col. is an apt scholar, and is showing himseH out: Let him beware, lest lis constitu- ents should also shew him out.

 Tn letter from friend in Monroe conn., ty, we arc applied to for information on the subject ofirregnlarity in the arrival of the Advocate in that county. He asks, why arc your papers commonly one or two weeks behind the Gazette?" This question can only be solved by the Post master at this place.
