V.rhen the firft piece written by Doctor ll'Kee, under the fignature of a Friend to the Csmmiffiners Sec imdp its appearance, J-had determined immediately to have infer ted in the Sun, a peremptory demand uni th- author to produce any proof in his pflVHinn of mifconduct on my part as one of the fup'rintrndants of the file of the publie lands. This defin was however arretted by an interview wiih Mr. Stout, who infor-ra-d me that Doctor M'Kee had eiven, him
th- mnft pointive alTurarces that he had no intention to include mr in the charges he
had exhibited, and that he (Mr. Stout) was willing to infert in hispupT a -rngraph to tb it elfecl. This was as much as I could rf!!ire And altho' it wns far from bein r.iy wiOi to flitft on the other fupcrintendant any blame which miht prnperlv be attached to the whole board ; vet as I hid
receiving a fum of money. In other words; If A k B io fearch of a favor able filua-l

you will not contend with me for the tr?i

ACTION' OK SPANDFK. June 5t!r the IluiTun army put f-vcral of its divitions in motion T he lil t ttacked the bridge-head of Spnrden, which general Fre re defended with the 27ih regi. merit. Twelve Rullian rerimrnts made
vain efforts ; they renev;ed them fevrp times, asd fryen times were rpnlf-d. v the mean time the prince of Ponio-Gorvr (BerJiadotte) had affcmhled his traops, hu' before they could aft, a charge of the 17:h dragoons forced the enemy to retreat. Thus during a whole day, twodivifions made repeated unfi!ccef:ful attack; on one regiment ; but it mutt be owned this regiment was entrenched. In vifiting the entrenchmrnts between one of the attacks marfhal
Bernadotte was flightly wounded, which
will render him unable to refumc his com-
mand for a fortnight. Ourlofsis trifling.
I he enemy s i2oO, and many wounded, M IIM fBATTE OF LOMILTEN. Two Uufllan divifions from the centre
alfo attacked the bridge head of Lemilten, General Terry's brigade defended it.--Two
regiments repulfcd the enemy tlie whoh
aay. i ne amoatis and works were cover
ed With dead Ruffians. Their Gen. was
killed j and their lofs 1700 killed, 80o
prifoners, and a great number wounded. We loft 120 men killed and wounded.
Mean while the Ruffian commander in thief (Beningfen) with the imperial gtmds md three divifions, attacked marfhal Key'?
pofition at Alkirkeen, Guttftard and WooU
dorft, and were repulfcd in all quarter; but when marfliall Ny difcovered that his af
failants exceeded 40.000 men, he obeyed
his inftrucuons, and left his crops at Ac kendorff. ,

BATTLE OF DEPEN. June 5th, the enemy attacked the Gtl corps at Dpen, on the Paflarge. They
were overturned. The manoeuvres, tilents
and intrepidity of marfiial Ney, gen. Mar
chand, and other officers, are worthy nf tin
reateft eulogium. 1 he enemy confefs thr loofs of 200 killed, 200 wounded, and 27
