THE INFAMOUS FABRICATION. .
On Friday last the Evening Journal charged lha' VII
John Van Buien had taken with him TO London note
against an American, (James Watson Webo) then 10
Engl, nd; that Mr. Van Buren, had met that individual
and was ''indebed to his huspal;ties! but had con,
ceaed the fact that he charged with note, until
Webb had left London and was on the eve OF his de-
parure from Bristol, ana then had caused MS arrest
among strangers leaving 10 him the alternative OF pay
ing fraudulent demand being committed to prison.
This was shown TO be false, from The fact that lie
note did not mature until after Mir Van Duren depar'
ture was subsequently, sent out by the bank 10 lis agent
in London; was n matter Of which Mr. V. b. had no
knowledge, and in relation TO which he had not been
employed by The parties in any sense; aud that The story
was altogether fabrication such perverson OF the
facts rs none but such worthless beings as Webb and
Weed would be guilty of.
The Evening Journal abors through column and a
hac (sutrmen,s under the signature Of James Watson
Webb TO subslanlaIc the charge. And yet with all
the eoncry and ready faseh"od of the writer ard his
adjunct here, it is apparent that the only share which
al. h,I irt Tho irops ,Inu WAS %
(prohaby by compulsory legal ptocess) 10 Webb
signature.
The circumstances undoubtedly are, that The mole
which did not leave New York until towards the middle
of June, did not reach London until after Webb had
left that city, and that MIR Y b was required under
legal process testify to Wrhb's signature; without
however, the sghies, participation in The collection oi
the note The process Of sending it down TO Brisi"
Aud then, in all probability, with knowledge OF oil
these facts The poor who has resored 10 every
article and even outrage upon the pubic dscency anc
morals to give himself no,oricty, deliberately planned
the charge of design by the of the President, TO
procure his Ger debt in foreign country, from
ica muves.-a charge in which he finds Ill echt
and insiumen nj here and who. 18th characteristic VIC
