WASHINGTON, June z, 1850.

 SIR: l have received your letter of the 2d instant, enclosing copy of your letter to MT Calhoun, Of the 31st ut. and his reply there to, all which have duly noted.

 You have requested copy of Mir Calhoun's letter to me of the 29th of May last, for the purpose of its being shown to MT Crawford. Mir Calhoun, in his reply to you, does not consent, nor yet object, to your being furnish ed with copy, but refers the matter to my discretion.

The facts are these: had been informed that MT Crawford had made statement concerning this business, which had come to the know ledge of Col. James A. Hamilton, of New. York. On meeting with Col. Hamilton, inquired of him, and received for answer that he had, but remarked that he did not think it proper to communicate without the con sent of the writer. answered, that, being informed that the Marshal of this district had, to friend of mine, made similar state ment to that said to have been made by MT Crawford. would be gl.d to see Mir Craw
