General Scott of the Army of the United States, having in a letter ot the 2d yauuary 181S, to General Jackson, insinuated that I had written, dictated or instigated an ano nvmiis letter tc the. latter "J cntletnan.E from unwothy motives, and cfor improper purposes: and having also concealed this imputation m me untill-the publication of a pamphlet which jvuv-u v- h I have considered it proper to declare, that I have had no agency or participation in wriling dictating or instigating anr anonymus letter whatever to general Jackson that I am entirely ignorant of the author t that thf intimation of G-ncral Scott is totally and unqualifiedly false, to all intents & in all respects This declaration is made from motives of respect

for public opinion, and not

from any regard for General ocott, whose conduct on this occasion is such a total departure from honor and propriety, as to render him unworthy of the notice of a man who has any respect for himself. It is not probable that I can at this time have any rccollcction of hiving had the honor of seeing General Scott, on the 9th of June, 18 17, at a dinner in New York, or of the topics of conversation as he suggests; circumstances so unimportant are not apt to be impressed upon the memory. But I feel a confident persuasion, that I did not make use of any expressions incompatible with t tic high respect which I entertain for General Jackson. VI IT CLINTON. Albany, Abril 6, 18 1S. s-v MAY ii, liili). We have this week comm-n-ced the publication ot a series of remarks, from Nilcs' Weekly Register; on the decision f the Supreme Court of the United States, respecting the right of the States to tax the Branches of the United States Bank within their limits. Wc arc induced to believe fom the interest this subject has excited in the public mind, that wc' could not at this time, present to our readers any thing, more deeply and ge ncraHv interesting. The Ianguage is decorous and respectful The strictures are plain, rational commentaries, and the sentiments perfectly accord with our cwn. r.tARcn 13. Interest w laiv case. A very interesting application of the decision of the supreme court of tiie United States, relative to the constitutionality ot the state insolvent laws, was made in a case brought bv folm Stuyvcsant against Jacob Bar ker. and tried yesterday before Mr. lustice Bartlett. Stuvvcsant, the plaintiff, demanded from Barker, the defendent, 15 dollars, deposited by the plaintiff in the defendent's bank. Barker, the defendent, admited the deposit, but interposed a set-off against the plaintilt's demand, ot 52 dollars 12 cents, and claimed the balance. A respectable jury of the 6th ward was impanelled to try the cause. At the trial the follow. inrr anneared in evidence In 1 817, the plaintiff opened an account at the defendent s bank, and after a short intervai overdrew the bank 52 dol. 12 cents and then obtained a discharge from all his debts under 'the insolvent act of this state. Some months after his discharge, he made a deposit of 15 dollars in the defendant'ts h,n!r vvhirh tli rlpfndnl nn. plied in part payment of the old account. The plaintiffproduced his counsel, insisted that it was a full bar to the defendint's set.off,and that the plain. tiff was therefore entitled to the amount deposited. The;defendent 's counsel insisted, that the discharge was void, the law under which it was obtained being unconstitutional, inasmuch as it implired the obhgation of contracts, and the de - fendant had, therefore, a right to apply the deposit to the old

debt. His honor the justice

charged the jury strongly in iavor of. the plaintiil ; but allowed them, on the suggestion of the defendents counsel, to take the constitution of the U. S. and the state insolvent laws with them into the jury room, and directed them to find for the plaintiff the amount of his demand, if they considered the law constitutional. The ju. ry retired, and in about twenty iniutcs returned a verdict for the defendent Barker, for 38 dollars 12 cents, being the bal lance due. CANAL LOTTERY .

Morillo's forces by the Patriot troops under the command of Gen. Paez, on the 6th of March, al Cassaugua, in Venezuela. From this blow the most important results may follow, highly favorable to the independents, and the speedy eand else where in Europe, must naturally give them the ascendency over rhe royalists: exhausted as thev now are. after a protracted war of nine years, of a most destructive & desperate character. Our only astonishment is, that they have not, long ere this, been totally annihilated. The fact is other. wise: but the arm of vengeance when it does fall will be more terrible; and the numerous vicissitudes ot a bloody warfare with a determined enemy, may in the end teach the Patriots, that the price of liberty is only to be obtained from tyrants by perseverance and blood. We arc promised the details of the present campaign from an authentic source, which we will give to our readers as early as possible. W. C. Gazette Public Entertainment.
