JacksOD.-A singular Development
of History.

Having observed in the Louisville Journal y
statement that certain passage in Colton'- Life

half OF Gen Jackson, having for its object tho
influence and vote of Mr.. Clay md his friends

from the hand Of Mr. Clay himself we have
thought proper to address Mr.. Clay's biographer
to ascertain whether this statement Of the Louis

Clay's own hand M he did not signify that to be
his wish-he being actuated, as | suppose by
the same generous forbearance towards Mr..
Buchanan which had induced him for so many
years, Mt Mr., Buchannn's earnest entreaties, not
10 publish this conversation, although such a
publication would obviously have contributed to
his (Mr. Clay's) vindicntion before the public
against the charge Of bargain brought by Gene
ial Jackson, and show that the proposal of bar
gain came, if not from the General himself. Ger
tainly from one of his friends acting in his be
half.

fellow voyagers had couple of Newcastle cabs
engaged for their conveyance hither and thther
during Their pursuit of knowledge on English
ground, and at parting dispute arose to the
fare. a princes purse must be economical as well
as aplebeian's; so Prince Napoleon deeming The
fare charge TO be doubled, resisted what he con
ceived to be an attempt to make too much of
him. Either there was Some misunderstanding
or Napoleon had been admonished on his cmbnr.
katlon, as native of our own province is ad
monished on starting for London, To "beware of
the cabmen." Whatever the reason, the Anglo.
French cab controversy riyaed in difficulty the
Anglo American enlistment question, and led 10
more decided rupture. for the cahnen suspend
ing diplomatic intercourse drove off unpaid. with
sundry caps and coaks in their vehicles, of more
value than the fare. In this extremity. friendly
arbitration stepped in, and reconciliation was
readily accepted. the prince ascertaining that
the charge was fair and reasonable The incident
will serve tn vary the memoranda ofthe royal
traveller, and lenda piquancy TO the volume
which, of course, will crown his voyage.
