L'Echo declares, that there
is no doubt of an alliance of
fenfive & defenfive, between
the King of Prussia and the
Emperor of R'uffia • ,to which
Sweden has made idelf a
party..
A line of demarcationtroops
is to be established ; and to
be composed of 250,000 Ruf

They are to guarantee the in

We believe that Buonaparte
is already at the place of his
domination, and thatthe En~
glifh Admiral, who is allowed
to have no more than 10
ihips, will not have been able
<0 overtake him.
The United States of Ame
rica are threatened with as
revolution. The friends of
liberty, furious against the
Seriate, and above all against
the President, who openly es
pouses the cause of the Eng
lish, to the detriment of the
Great Nation, disavow their
conduct. The House of Re
presentatives partake in a
great degree of this indigna
tion against the accomplices
of the British cabinet ; and
hardly will they wait the e
le&ions, which will take place
in the autumn, to destroy
their fatal influence. —[ Stories
of this kind bave been jo often
sent from America, that we
have no doubt they are really
believed tty grata.] {

condemning were of the molt trivial
kind, and amounted to nothing short of
a declaration of war against all neutral
property.
They expected at Bayonne, th^t these/
ads of rapine would finally rouse the A-L
meric:ns to awe, and that in cbnfequence■
their Weft- India colonies roust fall ; but■
these events they disregarded as of no im-ffi
portance, to long as there was commerce,
for their privateers to prey upon. Nevi
privateers, from 16 tozoguns,'were con-1
rinually building and launching, aodU
they were proftffedly defined against the■
Americans; at whole condu& they es- ]
fed to be highly irritated..
But the merchants, & people of infor
mation, who were not immediately inter
ested in privateering, difeovered an unea
siness at the present state of things, when
they dared to express their sentiments,
and appeared to be both tired of their go
vernment, and aßurned of the, injuries
which were heaped uponthe Americans^
The military themselves, who are dis.
tributed throughout the country to keep
the people in awe, began to murmur;
not at the cause in which they were en
gaged, but that their pay was confidera-,
bly reduced.
There was a good deal of talk, at Bay
onne, of an expeaation that Spain would
withdraw from her connexion with
France. This would be extending the
field of privateering, and increasing the
emoluments of the Diredory, who re-,
ceive 15 per cent of the amount of all
prizes. ' \‘
Capt. Besom has favoured us with
French papers to the 16th of June.
By the Clef da Cabinet des Souverains,
of the loth of June, it appears that the
French government hid received an En
glilh paper containing the difpatcbes
trom the American envoys to the Presi
dent of the United States, which were
communicated by the President to Con
?;refs on 3d April. In confequeoce thereof
he following letters passed between Mr.
Gerry and M, Talleyrand—which let
ters are also published in the said paper,
after a long, insidious, and in many ref
peas falfe, commentary on the difyatch
ef. It does not appear that the difpatcbes
themselves have ever been published in
Paris. C f
