GEN. JACKSON.
A Memorial was presented on Wednesday to the Senate, by Mr. King, of New-York, from Major General Andrew Jackson, on the subject of the Report made in the Senate of the United States, at the close of the last session of Congress, on the subject of the Seminole War, and the incidents connected with it. Mr. King moved, on account of the length of this paper, that its reading might be dispensed with, and that it might be printed for the use of the members: what further disposition, if any, should be made of it, he had not decided in his own mind. The reading of the memorial, or remonstrance, was required by Mr. Roberts; and part of it was read; after which it was ordered to lie on the table, to give those who chose an opportunity of running their eyes over it, before the question should be taken on ordering it to be printed. The Memorial is couched in strong terms, and contains pointed allusions towards the committee of the last session, &c. We shall not speak further of its contents now, intending, if put into our power, to give our readers an opportunity of judging of it for themselves.
