We are assured from an authentic source, that the account of the fracas between Mr. Baylies and Capt. Bossiere, which appeared in this paper on the 1st instant was essentially incorrect in some of its most important particulars : and we are also authorized and requested to state that all other accounts which have been spread before the public in relation to the affair, are incorrect, and calculated to produce a wrong and unjust impression upon the public mind. It is hoped that all further opinion upon the subject will be suspended, as it is to undergo a legal investigation before the proper tribunal, in this city in October next.

We are desired further to state, by the guardian of the young lady from Washington, whose name has been alluded to in some of the various reports connected with this affair, that her entire vindication will be fully established, after the most careful investigation of all the circumstances. Of this, her immediate personal friends, of the most respectable standing, are entirely satisfied.

Editors of newspapers generally are desired to give the above an insertion.

[Baltimore Patriot.]

We copy the above, though we have hitherto abstained from noticing the affair to which it relates, because we know it to be well-grounded, especially as regards the young lady of this city, who we understand, is wholly free from even the suspicion of misconduct.
