The National Intelligencer of yesterday has published Mr. Jackson's circular to the British consuls with the following introduction:
"The following letter said to be addressed to the British consuls, is taken from the Independent American. We are authorised to say that its contents, so far as they contradict the article published in this paper on the 13th instant, relative to the rupture of the negotiation between our government and Mr. Jackson, are unfounded."
It might be well for Mr. Editor Smith, to inform the public by what authority he makes this declaration. His "we are informed," - "we are authorised," &c. are intended to impress an idea on the public mind that he has his intelligence from the office of the Secretary of State. But WE are authorised to say, that Mr. Secretary Smith never authorised Mr. Editor Smith to make the declaration contained in the above quoted paragraph.
