but in the full confidence that had been made, know

from matter of fact, to promote any party or other
purpose. That they might have been nsled, pro-
bable for Editors particularly liable be from,
the nature of their vocation fact no: always sufi.
GENTLY adver:ed t. " the Public. | accordingly
stated to Doctor Scott my unhesatng belief in the
accuracy OF the staemcnt when he proceeded to give
me very strong reasons to doubt whether you bad
made the declaration in the words and above all! in
the spirit, which had been represented then told
him that if You had been w-onscd in the matter,
you ought, through some medium or other, TO have
redressed yourself; 10 which he replied, that consde
ratons of personal dignity had inteposed prevent
your doing replied that such reasons appeared to
me insufficient for acql;escing scrousa misrepre
scntation Of his sentiments but that, such the
case, would make il my business getting TO Rich
mond to seek cIucidation of the matter, and if Dr.
Rrockenbroagh had been wronged, see that he was
righed. was immediately, however, called back to
the country and prevented from executing my purpose

arrived here yesterday with Two assist
ants and SIX packmen, having, with the exception
OF few days on Spider lake, been separated from
Capt Talcot since the Odd of Sept. last. The iu
ty assigned me was 10 trace the ridge round from
the head of Arnold's river to Spider lake, and
thence on the kennebeck road [or round from Au

line From the head of the Connecticut to tho
point OF our hrst separation is sixty miles, thence
10 spider lake thirty five miles, and thence to this

! point Qhe kennebec road and twenty miles he
yond the line, as you are aware, is not in DISPUTE
