RO M THE AvROHA
THE DIPLOMACY EXAMINED.
No. 1.
Slaving laid before the publi*: the whole of
the documents which appeared in a book pub
lished by order ol'tlm British house of lords, we
now proceed to examine them, under the follow
ing heads.
The circumstances under which they appear
before the public :
The question of credit on the contents of the
several uaners, between the British ministers &
our own :
The character of their contents as they relate
to the policy and independence: of u.c United
Slate'* : and.
Considerations on the character of the mat
ters contained in. these dispatcher compared with
other transactions of a political nature m and out
of Congress. ,
Perhaps the public is not fully aware of the
extent of the application of which the correspon
dence just unfolded is susceptible to other mea
sures, and to transactions of a much earlier date;
and which have vert g- nerally been cutis d« red
only as the result of caprice of crude opinions in
various individuals. We shall, nv usual, offer the
facts to the public, and the opinions which we
liaVc formed from a close attention to public
transactions and public characters.
The first head of examination is the circutn
Stances under which the documents now up
p«*ar On this head the jBaltimore Whig and A
•met icon have contributed some mforniatiou ; and
In the date of the letter of Mi . Gallatin of the
2*Jth April, which hni 'iot been published until
this tune, we find enough to corroborate what
they state.
'I Ile editor of the Whig heard ut Washington
in April Inst of this c.orrtpondence, ai.d the te
nor of the. calumnies atwibuti d to Mr. Gallatin,
on the character of Mr Jefferson and Mr Mad
iron, and of an intention to publish the corns
ndence at that time. The correspondence is
8:.ul to have-been received by the ship Cineinna
ti, capt Conklin, which arrived at N York the
dlfvvmb of April.
• The American observes, that from the date of
Wr Gr.Uatin’s Ic’ter, which is called “ an ex
culpatory letter /* tne correspondence as publish
en by the British house of lords, appears to have
been in Mr. Gallatin’s hands since the middle of
April ; that to give them publicity was not bis
object, until the surmises of the press coerced him,
rather too late for bis credit, to periorm an act
w uich duty should have imposed upon turn at
Che first moment.
Thi re is great force in these remarks of the
American, which adds—“ We have been told
Chat the pamphlet containing these doeumc-nis
Was leaned to the^ciretary, from. ‘whom they could
hot be recoveredi that when called for, the usual
apology was, that the secretary had not done read
Ing thtvi ” ,.
So far have other papers spoken on the sub
Ject ; we also heard of iliis correspondence dur
ing the session of congress ; we had heard of
them through those diat had lead them ; and
were so incredulous as to suspend opinion,
•nd to suppose misapprehension in those
who had rend them; we sought after
the authentic publication, and at length sue
•eeded ; when the article appeared in the
W.rfio, calling upon Mr. Gallatin for the pani
pblei, we were possessed ofit, 8d>adheard tliut
a wull known British emissary, who figured a
way in this city, and now figures in England,
bad sent copies hither, with arguments drawn
from this correspondence to account fur the con
ternP t into which the American nation and name
had /alien in Europe.
it was cur wish, in noticing me article in tne |
Wing, toproducc a publication, in the form which
it tu-s taken place « that »it should come forth
in such a way as to obviate all the desperate ca
vils ot prostituted presses, to cut oil'at once all
that malignant hypocrisy which assumes the
mark oi candor, by affecting to doubt what it
does not wish to believe, or by pretending to
suspend opinion, until palpable fact* are rendered 1
authentic by the confession of tnose who have an
inlertst to deny them j
The correspondence is therefore now before
the [ ublic, not upon the authority of a pamphlet
■which this refined Ay/iocriry might say any printer1
Could print ; it is now before the public sane-!
tioned by the authority of r. Gdlalin, as an ,'
authentic publication of the British house of
lords.
The subject is therefore before the public in a
form as authentic as any evidence can he. It re
mains to examine other facts connected with it.'
Among these the public eye lias already noted
the date of the 29th April, pr, fixed to the letter 1
of Mr. Gallatin, published the 18 i July.
Here we reacli a point, upon which we can on j
!y form conjectures j and to opinions formed up
on the mere inquisition of the mind, we do not
■wish to atlach any more weight or importance
than they are wordi, or than as they shall appear
to the dispassionate reader, fair, reasonable or
probable. We wish to strain nothing beyond its
natural compass, lor unfortunately the shame
is already hideous and enormous
We must look beyond mere accident for the
date of Mr Gallatin’s letter; it lias been conjee-1
lured that the letter was antedated in order to j
have the appearance of being forced out by cer ,
Viliy or weaker nerves than Mr. Gallatin ; those
v ho ascribe the date of his letter to that cause,
do .not knvut him t Mr. Gallatin is not indifferent
tho’ lie sheets to be, to publications in newspa
pers ; his usual maxim is not to notice publica
tions ; his departure Irom it now, is only an evi
dence of tbe peculiar importance of the case ;
and l.e possesses a certain faculty or suppressing
lu tculumement de caur, he would aoi lay him
self open in that way, unless it should lie intend
ed tb lead to some dernier purpose.
We must therefore look to some cause in or
der to account for this anted • »». We must look
in tbe correspondence itself for tbe cause. Mr.
Gallatin has been sustained in the public opinion
ev r since bis conduct in the report on the Yazoo
*iport, only by the countenance and favor of Mr
J< fleraon’s confidence, and notwithstanding that
la tor, he has by several acts, which we shall
think it our duly on this occasion to notice, not
only sunk Inmsrlf in the opinion of Mr Jefferson’s
friends; but Mr. Jefferson lus canted many
p..tigs to those who, however highly they prize
tiis services to this Coumry and his immovable
int<grityand benev Irnce, hate constantly la
mented that he did not d::<mi---o Mr Gallatin, when
he t» „s detected in retailing to Mr. Randolph t! e
coidi'Initial conversations concerning a put chase
nf Florida, or when Mr R mdolpli avowed oil
he 5'.li March ROb, Ilia*. M/ Gallatin had ut
• dared to him “ thtte was no c ibinet.”
The magnanimity and k'tulness with which
JrHi i iim ove.leaked these transactions of
Mr Gallatin, should have operated as an anti
»4«>te to the motiwa wliieh secretly acloated him ;
li <1 he been tempered with the y uaroiM warmth
of h V giuiim heart, he would fvel hum,. If for
etei bound to the man ; how li .ll we cnnttm
1 U'e liis conversations with Mr. Lrsk.nc—bu
wre were trespassing on a subs* quent t< pic ot
the examination.
To account for the date of Mr f; dfalin’s let.
*rr, we must h/pep tr, view, the lact thM ttic
xu-in support of Mr Gillaliu was 'liecountenance
*»'«' pHtron. ge of Mr, JeO'-rson This is not
e wtter of mere surmise. It lias been re;>e«i
tci'y declared l»y persons who say they have it
i </iii luma*.If, that he contemplate d to resign tfie
i .iiohot secretary of (I,r treasury, that he was
x» '.iced to abandon his intention sod remsti* l>y
•> 'titreatica of Mr. Jefferson, when he p 'id him
u » aiuctdat fi»it tmt vcijr n*-ny awuth# sgj «»—
Without anf rtliance upon hi* name for support,
t would not be inconsistent with the cunning of
the mmi, to discover Out lie must be very solici
tous to avert the inevitable abhorrence which
must be excited in the breast of Mr Jefferson,
should the correspondence fall into his hands ;
it is not unreasonable to sup|>o3e therefore thaj
he wrote to Mr J ftirson immediately, disclaim
ing the language and sentiments given as Ins Dy
Mr Erskuic to the Brnuh government,
j It is not uurti'* .liable to suppose that he might
have done so with the precedent of Mr. Mun
loe’.wlettcr and Mr. Jefferson’s answer before
him ; with a view of drawing from Mr Jeffer
son, such an answer to his disclaimer, as he
might afterwards employ to complete the circle
of lug contrivances, and wcuksii the indignation
of Mr J Hcrson’s friends, by arraying Mr. Jef
ferson h>iii-t if against them. We repeat that
this is rtnjecture t but to those who understand
the man, we appeal—is it unreasonable i
But this docs not directly, though it indirectly
operates to account for the date. Either *u*.
Jefferson has written such an answer as it is not
eligible to publish in the first instance, or tins
letter of the 29th April is of date coeval with a
letter addressed to Mr. Jefferson ; perhaps the
original was sent and proposed to be published
and withheld only until the correspondence should
come * lit.
Upon the published letter of Mr Gallatin we
shall have occasion to observe in a subsequent
paper. Tlie circumstances under which they
appear, are such as do not by any means tend to
corroborate the denial of Mr Gullat in The ten
or of • r Ei skine’s dispatches, if they do not ex
hibit his knowledge of mankind in a very strong
light ; they at least demonstrate the earnestness
of his own disposition to promote an undei st.Hid
ing, at the same time that they exhibit tiie depra
vity of his government But although the cor
respondence shews his wishes to preserve peace
and harmony between the two countries, it .s not
nltogelhei calculated to elevate the wisdom or
justice of the American government in the eyes
of the world ; it is indeed well adapted to afflict
the bosom of every m.m who feels the least re
guru for public or private virtue.
IROM THE ESSEX REGISTER.
We continue to receive the congratulation^
upon the freedom of our country, and upon the
domestic tranquility. . ‘
We begin to have notices of the anniversariec
ot our Literary Institution?:, and the unqualified
language of praise, discovers that they answer
the expectations of their respective patrons. On

power to notice circumstantially all the literary
i xhibitions which are announced, but enough is
khovrn to prove that the literary institutions in 1
! crease in every part of our Union The titles
of the laws, which are given in every state at the
close ot each session, plainly discover to what
objects the public attention is directed. In the
lute table ol acts ot N> w-Hnmpshire, four acts
passed in lavor oi Social Libraries in different
parts of that state. With Science the arts keep
their reputation, and the increasing wealth finds
tail employment in the numerous improvements

several recollections winch do honor to those
who indulged them Additional attention is
paid to tile Amoskcag Canal. Provision is made
*ls<» lor new roads, and that from Andover
bridge to Concord does honor to the sta’e A
road is proposed tiom the Connecticut river by
Cambridge to the eastern puvt of that state,
which will be of great benefit The J fferaon
turnpike is incorporated. Milford Cotton and
Woollen Manufactory, and Swanscy tactory, 8t
i Corn sh and Pembroke manufacturing Compa

been allowed at New Plymouth, and the New
Hampshire iron Factory has been incorporated.
Derry field, winch is the residence of the immor

Insurance Company is allowed at Portsmouth —
.Thirty thousand dollars are to be ruistd by the
state. 'A hese acts combine to discover the real
state of New Hampshire, & give us great hopes
ol us prosperity. It is to be hoped that no local
advantages on the Connecticut or Mcrrimac will
interfere with the design of extending the
advantages of these waters throughout their
whole course. Wtiat is done in the North is I
also done in the South. YVe learn from Charles
ton, S C. that the last piers of the bridge from
that City, over Ashley river have been driven,
and the event was celebrated on 28th June last
The bridge is 21*7’ feet long and 33 wide upon
yj sections ol § piles each, and the posts are
guarded against the worms by lead and copper.
The causeway towards the city is 1330 feet ton,;,

veries of our natural riches encourage tbe
hopes of our ample resouices In Allen, Penn
sylvania, lias been found an excellent stone for
millstones, in no respect inferior to any stones
which have been imported. It is hinted also
that a clay has been discovered which has tin
qualities from which the Chinese have profited
in their wares. Enquiry is still active, and we
are promised by Dr. Mease another work, which
will bring into one view all these discoveries,
that we may judge ot the progress, and of tiie
steps yet iiec«:ss«ry to meet some other wants
which our country will supply, if we diligently
examine its riches. A new* Medical and 1J lit ).

this season of some local ravages of the Hessian
