After dinner an address was delivered

Mr. Sh am. which contained a request ; ;l(on Mr Randolph, and a Mr. Oveiton,

pai.r,3 to obtain a meeting, it was scarcely to be expected that he would avoid it. and a? my approach could easily hae ben observed. We passed in, however, unmolested. I went into the second 6tory to the room I occupied, and finished what little bu-i.,ess I had to close befoie I left the olTjre, which had been previously fixed for that day. 1 learned while in my room, that Mr. Eaten and Major Lewis, whese ctiicee wne in another building', mnre than a quarter cf a mile distant, went cut of the Treasury Department in a direction towards the President's house where .Major Lewis lived. I was. inform ed that they came out of one of the re gister's rooms nothing turther occurred worthy of notice till evening. Soon after dark I was informed by sev

They have, however, assumed this silence, as aD admission of the truth of their publications; and now, to cperato upon the elections in Kentucky, have added to all that they had raid before, allegations of the grossest and darkest

When Mr Iriirham had concluded.

Judge Fox rwe, and addressing Mr. hghaoj, said, that many of his fellow citizens pro-ent had a great desire to know the fact connected, with the attempt to as-eas-inate him 1 efme he left Wnshington; and as there was much anxiety to possess correct information on the subject, he requested him to relate to bis friendsas-, cemhh d, ?uch facts, a? would dis-emiaate correct ia.'ormatioa on this interesting sabject. ! Mr Ingham, in reply observed that lie zcvA ) tvot refu.-p to comply with the reqi t. but he would much rather fjr the character cf the Government andnalioiK that li.id power to bury the whole transaction in oblivion. This was not now vu.u ticable, and he would state the mate

On Friday evening, the 17th, about 10 o'clock, 1 received a note from Mr. Eaton by thi han.lsofMr Randolph, then chief cle;k in the War Department, demanding an avow al or disavowal of a publication in a newspaper, without any ether connexion 1 1 h the paper bcicg suggested than that it was supposed to be friendly to me, and was published in the city where 1 resided 1 could not dotibt that rich a demand was a prelude to a wanton and premeditated quarrel; and although I did not understand whether it was the fart stated m the piper, viz that my t am llv hid refused to associate with h;?, or the authority to publish which I was called upon to disavow; I choe to avoid a

FOST OFFICE FRAUD. We see it slated in several papers that attempts have been made, lately, to defraud the Post Office Department out of a portion of its revenue. This is done by thfc free circulation ot electioneering handbilU, throvgh the post cjfict, and duected to such po-tmasters ae are most likely to aid in the scheme. It 15 generally known that postmasters are entitled to receive, free cf postage, all such letters or packets zb shall concern their wn private affairs or (he busineeb ot the department. An express regulation prohibits the receipt cf "pamphlet, handbills,1' Lc. and makes it the duty of the postmaster receiving sucb, to return, them to the office from whence they came charged Utter pestcze.
