Mr.. Cramptor.

This gentleman seems to be unfortunate in his
habit of falling into mistakes. He has been found
out in no less than three neutrality-suspicious.
fourth instance of his inexpertness in hitting
the truth, has been recently related by Wash
ipgtou correspondent of the Virginia Sentinel
The writer says that about three years ago gal
liant young officer of the American Navy, met Mr.
Gavin Duffey, ian Irish member of the British
Parliament,) in Ireland, and as informed by Mr.
Duffey that Mr. Champion had written to Messrs.
Rulwer and Dickens, to the effect that if they
would furnish him with $4,000, to be expended
by him as he thought proper, he could procure the
passage of the international copy right law, through
Congress. Upon Mr.. Champion being called upon
for an explanation ofthis ntimation that Congress
could be bribed, he denied having written such
letter. said Mr.. Duffey was an agitator and mis-
chief maker; that he had no acquaintance with
Bulwer, but from his acquaintance with and
knowledge of Dickens, he thought it probable
that Dickens had uttered the language attributed
by Duffey to Champion.
Lord Palmerston, judging from Mr.. Buchanan's
recent statement, seems to be subject to the same
infrmity from which Mr.. Champion suffers An.
ancient philosopher, in that fine moral vein, pc.
euliar to the ages before the Christian era, de.
clares that "a man may lie who knows how to do
it," We question whether either Champion or
Palmerston possess even this heather qualification
for their business.
