point in which the public is interested is the

apology is, that wish to justice done to yourself

similar application of yon and you, in justification Of
yourself, exhibited the instructions you had received
from the President in reference to the case and that
then at the request of Major Eaton, you called with
him on MIR. Van Buren, to have the matter explained ;
and that personal alteration arose between the Pres
dent and YOURSELF when the President told you that
you might leave his Cabinet you pleased and
you replied that you would not until you turned
out which he, the President, dared not do This,
believe, the report heard it, and it is handled

forming me Of the truth of tine statement. An early
