From the Virginia Gazette.
MR. Davis,
I PERCEIVE that Callender and Duane have gone to loggerheads. In last Wednesday's Recorder, the former has published a long answer to an attack from the Aurora. Among other articles of impeachment, Duane said that the late Mr. Bache would seldom admit C's paragraphs into the Aurora. The answer to this part of the charge is curious enough. I should like to see Duane's reply In the mean time, the circumstance concerning the president's paying for the composition of Aurora paragraphs ought to be as generally known as possible; because it displays, in such lively colors, the consistency and veracity of Mr. Jefferson, when he made such profound obeisance to the superior abilities of Mr. Adams, in his speech, at the time when the latter was chosen president.
HUM.
Richmond, August 4
P. S. All the independent newsprinters in the union are advised to republish the above, with the following short extract.
Here followed a passage from the remarks upon the Aurora, as inserted in last week's Recorder.
