The circular letter ilTued at New Haven
by Ab'm BJhop & intended by the mana
gers of the feftival to have been secretly
fpreadintovariousparts of the date,is now
before the public. The party finding that
this Jacobin fclieme was difeovered, have
pretended that it was deligned for publi
cation : But this is only a pretence. FaCts
on every fide oppose it. A few queflions
will place this matter in its true light.—
Why did not this letter appear in Bab
cock's paper originally ? Why incur the
expence of printing it in handbills? Why
take the trouble to inclofe it in letters to
the lead ng democrats ? Yet the Mercury
confeflrs that such was the management
adopted. The truth is that this fetter is
the genuine offspring of a jacobin club,
and is of the fame nature with the in
trigues and exertions of such clubs as be
fore described. It directs the agents and
tools of the party to influence the minds
of the freemen by the fouled falfehoods,
and to assume the bold front which prac
tices, with temporary success, any artifi
ces to carry a point. In such vile at
tempts at electioneering, truth and honor
are proftituted,andifthegreat body ofthe
people of Connecticut do net refill them
with the intrepid tirinuefs of independent
freemen, they will destroy that purity of
elections which alone can preserve a Re
public, and introduce a fyflem which as
suredly will end in the entire deltruttion
of dur deareti privileges.— Let it not be
imagined that such will not be the issue of
these foul intrigues. Hillory speaks on
this fubjeß in language plain and forci
ble,ano the example of France must carry
conviction to every honeg mind. Let it
be remembered that freedom cannot
exist in that date or community which is
governed by a Jacobin club—and let ev
ery citizen lay it to heart, that if such in
trigues as this letter difeiofes and incul
cates, are not discountenanced and de-
Froyed, liberty mud be facrificed ofthe
sitar of ambition, and henceforth dema
gogies who defeehd to the employment
ot the mod t^ ztiH deferable means,will
govern the people. Those whoreprobate
such men and measures are .bound by the
Pronged ties to take their dand, & afreet'

There is virtue and intelligence in the
people of Connecticut, andl trust their
energy will appear with increased lufire
on the iith of April, and fbow to the U

"^SQUALL AT PARIS.
LONDON, MARCH 13. ,
, Private Letter
T From Paris, March 14#
HERE was yeflerday, as usual, a grand
circle at the Thuilfcries. The Ambassadors of
the different powers were in the Saloon, with a
numerous assemblage of Grangers and Ladies
of diftinaion, Generals, Senators, Tribunes,
Legislators, &c. &c.
Bonaparte entered, with an unusual alertness
of manner, and after saluting the company, he
addressed hinrfclf to Lord Whitworth in a tone
fufficiently loud to be heard by all who were
prefent—"You know, my Lord, that a terrible
florin has arisen between England and France."
Ld. Whitworth.—" Yes, General Consul,
but it is to be hoped that this storm will be dis
sipated without any serious eonfequences."
Bonaparte.—" It will be dissipated when En
gland fhull have evacuated Malta. If not, the
cloud will burst, and the bolt must fell. The
King of England has promised by treaty to e
vacuate that place, and who is to violate the
faith of treaties ?"
Ld. Whitworth, (surprised on finding him
felf questioned in this manner and before so ma
ny persons.) " £ut you know, General Consul,
the circumstances which have hitherto delayed
the evacuation of Malta. The intention of my
sovereign is to fulfil the treaty of Amiens—And
you also know"
Bonaparte. —"You know (with impetuosity)
that the French have carried on the war for
ten years, and you cannot doubt they arc in a
condition to wage it again. Inform your court,
that if, on the receipt of your difpatches,orders
are not issued for the immediate Surrender of
Malta, then War is declared ! 1 declare my firm
refplution is to fee the treaty carried into effed,
and leave it to the Ambassadors of the several
powers who are present, to fay who is in the
wrong., You flattered yourfelvcs that France
would not dare to fliew her resentment whilst
her squadrons were at St. Domingo. lam
happy thus publicly to undeceivltyou on that
head."
While we find Bonaparte's indignation
is Dot so great as to fend forth an inilapt
declaration of war, in answer to the
Kingti meflage, we learn he does not re
ceive the challenge to fight him (ingle
handed with good temper. We yeflerday
saw two letters from Englifli gentlemen,
who were pfefent at the Consular audi
ence on Sunday last. They fully confirm
rhe following account, which appeared
in a Minilierial paper of yeflerday.
" When Bonaparte entered rhe audi
ence chamber on Sunday latt, his features
were menacing, and his whole frame
seemed violently agitated. Lord Whit
worth wus at the audience. The First
Consul addrefled him immediately open
his entrance ; observed with warmth,that
a war had now detolated Europe* tor fif
teen years, and ; ft d whether it is now to
be renewed ? adding, that if it was, it
nrght again lad for as long a period. To
which Lord Whitworth calmly replied,
that if it was renewed, it would not be
the fault of Great Britain. Bonaparte
then went amongst the Indies, but soon
after returned to Lord Whitworth, and
. Bonaparte. "Os what negotiation docs your
Lordffiip speak ? Is it necessary to negotiate
what is conceded by treaty —to negociate
the fulfilment of engagements and the duties of
good faith."—(Ld. W; was about to reply,Bo
naparte made a sign with his hand, and contin
ued in a kfs elevated tone.) "My Lord, your
Lady is indifp'ofed. She may probably breathe
her native air rather sooner than you or I e±-
pe&ed. I wish mod ardently for peace, but if
my just demand be not instantly complied with,
then war must follow, and God will decide, if
treaties are not fuffichnt to bind to peace, then
the vanquished must not be left in a condition
to offer injury."
Here this unerpe&ed converfition terminat
ed, if that term be allowed, where the difeourfe
was almost wholly on one fide.
Bonaparte afterwards walked up and down
the hall, and difeourfed with several persons
with an assumed air of gaiety. To the English
however, who met his eye,his regards were lim
ited to a cold salute.
Ld. Whitworth.—" But, General, the nego
tiation is not yet broken, and there is even rca
fon to believe "
On the arrival of the courier, announcing to
Bonapyte the king's message to Parliament,the
Consul immediately font for General Duroque
(diftingmfbed Ly his fuccefrful embassy to the
Prussian court,) and after an audience, which
confuted the greater part of the night, Duro
que was dispatched on a second mission to Ber

the result of this mcafure, previous to hi, defi
nitive reply to the rtmonftrances of our Cabinet.
VaR quantities of military stores of all deno

MARCH 21.
On the arrival ofthe King's Miffage in Par
is, the Council of Slate fat many hours, after
which Bonaparte sent off messengers to St.
Petelfburgh, Vienna, and Duroc to Berlin ; but
our Miniflers should not if possible wait the
result of such. tedious negotiations. Ministers
should fend an ultimatum and b«ck it with a
blockade ofthe French Forts. This they ffiould
do inßantly ; while Bonaparte is confounded
by the step they have already taken. Indeed,
we are assured, unless a fatisfadlory explanation
is given, and an amicable arrangment begun,
the ports of France and Holland will be block
aded with all possible expedition.
The public expectation of war was greatly
increased on Saturday. * Every circumstance
Ihews Ministers are preparing for a fyfiem dif
ferent from that they have hitherto pursued.
Colonel Philips has just been appointed Dep
uty Adjutant General at Malta; an office which
has been vacant nine months, and which it was
supposed would never have been filled up. Sev
eral other officers heve been appointed to com
plete the Raff of that Island, and hence we per
ceive there is no expectation of evacuating it
soon.
We are a,lured, from an authority on which
we confidently rely, that our government, fatis
fed by the evidence of past experience, that fur
ther conceffionjnftead of consolidating the peace
would only weaken its foundation and invite
aggression, have refolded to refill the torrent of
Republican domination, and to try the issue
of another war,Should their appeal to the justice
and policy of France prove unfuccefsful. Should
the dispute be amicably adjured, the concession

A private letter from Paris fays, the troops of
the Republic are concentrating on various
points. In the firft military Division (round
Paris,) there are 42,000 men. The naval offi
cers have received orders to join at Brest, Hav
re, &c. The works of the port of Boulogne
are carrying on with great activity. In faft,
the preparations making in the several port,,
are of a nature by far too attentive to he incend
vehemently declared, that the armaments
now preparing in the ports of France
were defined only for the Colonies, in
the preservation of which England was as
much interested as he could be. To this
no answer was made. He soon afterwards
quitted the room,calling on God and man
to witness,that he hoped vengeance would
be indicted on that power, which by a
violation of Treaty, Should cause the re
newal of hostilities. All accounts agree
that his countenance was throughout al
most disfigured by paflioH: and' that his
tone was so loud and vehement, that at
least half the company present mult have
heard all th t puffed on this extraordina
ry occasion."
1 be letters we have seen, tot only con
firm the above, but add, that, in the molt
solemn manner,he invoked the 'vengeance
of God on that power which Should be

Was preferred. After an expoftniation
on the Subject of the armament inßritain,
which expostulation, according to ac
cou As, might nave been heard by most of
the company, he is said to have address
ed Lord Whitworth :
Little or nothing farther transpired yesterday
refpedhng the negociation with France. We
are fatubed that the progress of the affair is
wholly unknown, except to those who ought
to be in the fecrct. A circumflance, commu
nicated in some letters from Paris, about the
behavior of the First Consul to Lord Whitworth,
at a drawing-room of Madame Bonaparte's on'
vunday or Monday last, excited some attention.
If the account given in this letter be true, even
in the leading particulars we believe the con
duct of the First Consul of France to be wholly
without , example in the hiftory of any nation,
barbarous or civilized. Was it ever heard that
the Cnief Magifirate of a Country, in a Lady's
drawing-room; on a public occasion, attacked
the Ambassador of a great Power on the fubjedt
of pending negotiations in a flyle of outrage,
which, in any other place, in any other circum
stances, would have entitled a man to have can
ed the person who should have been guilty of
such pe.ulence and rudeness. We are almost
sure tnat the French nation must be utterly a
shamed of the low and vulgar behavior of the
man who represents them to foreign nations.
It is a deviation from the bienfeanoes, on which
they set so much value, as tends to degrade
them. Whatever arrogance their rulers in for
mer times assumed, it was the arrogance of na
tional greatness, not the arrogance of mean per
fcnal passions. If, indeed, the counsels of Bona
parte be in the spirit of the behavior imputed
to him, it will scarce be possible to keep peace
with him. Such fury, indeed, would augur“a
diminution in our Captain 3 brain." But after
all this, paffien fecnis rather the extravagant de
monstration of a disappointment of a man foil
ed in his aims and forced to stop in his career.
Bonaparte may be obliged to temporife, and
this excels of fury may be the proof that he
yields. It is impossible, however, to reason on
the resolutions of such a man.
Th< communications of this fa&, connected
with tie daily aSivity at/he Admiralty, evince
in Rrqger colors the present warlike disposition
of the two governments, than any ether circum-
Rancewhich we can advance. For fix or eight
days ptevioufly, there were the best appearances
<>L peace ; now we hear ot nothing but war,and
the additional military and naval appointments
corroborate our inference.

MR. RUSSELL,
FLEETING indeed is that fame or
popularity which is founded on vice,
hypocrisy or cunning. We fee this
truth demonstrated in a peculiar man
ner, when we contrast the degraded
state into which Thomas Paine is now
immersed, with the high ground on
which the author of Common Sense
once flood. Fallen, fallen, fallen, from
his elevated grade, he is now gnashing
his teeth in agony ; and making con
stant attempts co extricate himfclf from
the slough, But his tide is ft" ebbing,
and every exertion he makes to Rem it,
sets him down with more rapidity to
wards the black sea of oblivion, if not
to the foul ^ulph of contempt. —He'

in waggons from that and the neighboring places
lor Brest, with the greatest expedition.
It was confidently reported yeftefday in the
city, on the authority of the French interest,
that there will be no war; and every circum

a rupture,that the French people fliil less desire
it.

It is currently reported that the Spacifi
Minißer, the day after he had sent his letter
aud dispatches to the Secretary of State to be
forwarded to New Orleans, delivered another
set of dispatches to our government in which
were contained an official account of the tranfer
of Louisiana to France, and of the orders for
delivering the faroe accordingly.—From these
dispatches it officially appears, that our conjec
ture concerning this business was corre&, and
that Spain had no right to issue the orders as
puhliihed. It is said these dispatches were corn
municated for the pMpofe of having them pub

DEAR SiR,U
Your letters of Cdober iff, 4th, 6th, 1
16th, uuuc duly tp hand, and the pa- 1
pers which they covered were, accor-1
mng or voui peimifiiin, published in ■
the Newlpapers and in a pamphlet and ,
under your own name. * These pa- I
pers contain ptecifely car principle , 1
and i hope they will be generally re- |
cognized here. Determined as we are ■
to avoid, if possible watting the ener-1
gies of our people in war and ddhuc-<

to purfhe. They have in many other

ciplesasto ourselves by peaceable rm ant |
now that we are lireir tohaveour pub- 1
