 NEW YoRK, Feb. IL

 There are now in this city couple of very singular letters, written by one Henry Clay, a married gentleman, who resides at Ashland, near the town of Lexington. Ky, and who for the last fifty years has distinguished him. self in the political bros of party.

 One of these letters bears date some time in September last, and was addressed to d tailor who had presented him suit of clothes to be worn at his '' coronatiou" on the 4th of March next, if he should be elected '' Crown Prince'' of the kingdoms of Kentucky and Massachusetts and their four and twenty de- pendences.

 In this letter Mr. Clay acknowledges the receipt of the .iacket and breeches,n and says in substance, < shall be proud to wear them on the 4th of March next, when am inauguratedn From the tone of the letter, it is very evident that Prince Hal of Ashland. was exceedingly sure, in the month cl Sep tembor last, that he was to be President of the United States on the 4th of March.

 The other letter is curiosity in it's way, and was addressed to the late Gen. Peter B. Porter. l have seen t, but the substance of its contents was communicated to mo yes terday by an eminent Whig who holds il, dlspleased because some of the late Clay men can vet breathe and insist that the illustfious blackleg of Ashland shall be a candidate for the succession.

 IL appears that sometime late in the year of 1843, Gen. Peter B. Porter, as the friend of Mir. Clay, was depuled to make a recon cliation, if possible, between the sage of Ashland'' and Mir Daniel Webster Gen. Porter, who was at the time in his dotage, ex- ceedingly infirm, and somewhat mentally de- biliiated, undertook the mission of love and addressed MT. Clay on the subject. He pro- posed an amicable adjustment of all past quar- rels, and the re-admission of Mr. Webster 10 the Whig fold, sons condition. To this note Mr Clay replied in strain of eloquent and mnassioncd indignation. and. said la effect that Mr Daniel Webster might % to h-tl or any other hni climate; tlal ha had always been Il Ioaistone to the pariy, aaa hodcsisad ucitho~ his aid nor his friendship.
