{The following came ton: in the hands
writing of _a Frenchman, without-any sig
ss'nature; We know nothing of the faets rela
tive'to the location of the grant to the Mar
=quis Lafayette. But if what is here stated
be true, it is of consequence to the public ;
and our duty demands that we should not
'ouppress the information. If che statements
arc false, some of the person: whose names
are given can contra_dict them ; and we shall
be very happy to sip'ublish any thing which
charsiges here brought against them.]
PBy looking back on—the journals of 'Con
'sigctress; it will be seen, that besides giving to
siGeneralsiFayet—te his pay, rations and com—
mutation of halfsspay for life,**=-Coogress a
greed to give him a tract os twelve thousand
five hundred acres - of land, to be located
where the lands- of other officers and sol
diers of the old army located, that is. in one
of the two tracts set apart to satisfy militarv
grants. When we recoilect also, that the
shall tend to clear those accused from the'
lars the acre, we have a distinct View ot
what congrcss-and the country whom they
represented, meant to do for Mr. Lasay
ette, and that the muxi-mum of theif gene
rosity was 25,000 dollars. This did not ex
actly suit Mi. ]cﬀerson. ;- This nephew of
his old Bon Amz' at Paris, by a concurrence "1
common enough in this world, ofibad ma- (
nagement, bad principles, and had fortune, ss
had got throngh a most ample estate of his ?
own, and had bt-sides made a considerable i
hsireach in that of his wise. Finding their.
friend Thomas in power here, the aunt and
the nephew laid their heads together, and
by French means so plied the philosopher,
that h-z pledged himself to repair, if_possi
ble, tho mischiefs of the revolution. -Ac
cording); when he and his plenipos (Li
vingsiun and Munroe) made their great
])lll'sihstSt'si. of Lomsiana, and actually bought
a pig m a poke, friend Thomas moved con
gtess to permit the location of Mr. Lnfay
ctte's grant any where within the limits of
Louisiqna, and on iand net actuaiiy grant
ed. And where, Mr. Printer, did-this
conscitminue magistrate locntc this grant,
think you ? \\'as it in a Situation and on
lands, the value oswhich would nearly ful
fil the intentions of the country that give it?
and who. as seen above, intended to make
Mr Lafayette a grant of 25 OOO dollars ?—
Nu, reader, no. He fulfilled his own in
tention better, anciwssas generous as a prince
with the pFoPerty osthe public—In & word
he located this grant partly on the cammons
ssosthe tity of New Orleans and partly at
Point Coupec. The first of these locations
beginning to make some noise, this was
sseasiiy stilled by a secret convention be
ss tween Aibert Gallatin, on the part of the
Pressitdent, and Daniel Cialke on the part
of the town of NeW-Orlcans. These two
nlenipc's agreed, that the locations of gen.
_ La Fayette's grunt shopid not take all the
.ssConimans, and at course, that the increase
of this great empurium of western cum
? mette should not be made dependent on &
sssi a major-general in the French army, and a
VOtUsltﬂsy subject of Bonaparte. A certain
ingiy given for the future uses am} &"

; 'lsssinr. town ofO'rie-ans having acceded to this
si arrangement, by their agent, Clarke, sihave
perhaps precludesid themselves from com
: plaint, but are we all therefore precluded?
Certainly not—and if the siiocation be not
made in form, Congress ought in honor to
the mselves and justice to their constituents
-to enquite—lst. where the grant of Mr.
La Fayette is about to be located? and 2d.
"what in the present value of the land on
which it is pr0posed to make the'iocation
of this grant? is it be found to be & million
or Ime a mil/ian of dollars, you will surely
think it an object worth enquiring about.
To furnish you with some information on
the subject of its value, -l am able to state
the following sacts :
fist, That Mr. La Faycttc 'has actually
borrowed Upon this grant, and before a line
of title was pOSScsscd by him, 500,000
francs or 100,000-dallars. The leader: of
this money are the: house of Hopc'Zt Baring,
Daniel Parker, XV. Prcblc and [- Ridg
way.
24. Mr.- La Fayeue is about to negociate
further loans on the said properc), and to
do this is running about Paris shewing let—
ters from Mf- Jfﬀchﬂfi, and other docu
ments tending to PYOVC, that the value of
bZS'grant siis much beyond the sum already
borrowed, and that in ﬂfr. YeﬀZ-rson's opi
nion (six years ago) it was Worch nue million

AMERlCAN POLlTlCS.
The recent advices from New York and
other quarters have cast & damp upon our
hoPes of a speedy and cordial adjustment of
the diﬀerences which have so long exiated
between us and the government of the U
States. We are very far from apprehend
ing a war w'tth America ; but it is a painful
consideration, that the harmony of two na
tions, which are linked together by so ma
-ny powerful affinities, and which have so
deep an interest in the mutual prosperity of
each Other, should be for a moment inter
rupted. All the passions which led to that
unhappy war which ended in the dismem
berment of the colonies of North.America
from the domin'ton of England, are defunct
in this country, yet in America they seem
as the passions of yesterday. Every thing
in the mindof the Amcrican executive speaks
a jealousy, and an apprehension at the pow
e:- of this country, which we are sure there
are no feelings here to justisy. Nations,
like individuals, are often governed by their
passions; and the quarresil, or rather (.:
trangement, which America has with us, is
more deducible from private pique, from an
undefinable resentment & an unavowed jea
lousy, than any substantial and legitimate
subjects of complaint. To the remunstances
and complants otssAmerica, the government
ost-his country, under successive adminis
trations, have turned an attentive and a re
ss spectsul ear. Placed, from the nature of
! the warsh're in which we are engaged under
sivery extraordinary circumstances, it may
safely be affirmed that Great Britain has
shown a mildnesz and a sorbearance, and a
lenity towards America, acting .sussspz'cious/y
as she has done, of which no example could
, be produced. We have uniformly held out
! to her the right hand offellowship ; and in
s'siStead oi perunaciss'zsizsily ::lhzz'ing to our own
views of any 'qucstionospoliticai discussion,
which has arisen between us, we have re
ferred to those of the American govern
ment. In private disputes it may be laid
down as a sundamental maxim, that the
man who is most angry, is most in the
wrong ; and trying the dispute between our
govenmzent and that of America by this
'test itwiil be seen that England has been
patient osinjuries and insulis almost beyond
example; while America has been prodigal
ofanger beyond aii firecedent. The war
we Wage is for our existence, and theresore,
if any irregularities occur in it, they are to
'be ex-ctsiused by the necessitiesofour circum
stances ; but the. jealousy and alarm of the
American government is called forth by no
such circumstances. We are their natural
a'dy. No dreams of conquest or subjuga
tion enter our minde ; but we feel SRtlSsiCd
'that whatever (()utl'ibUZCS ;o their prosperi
ty must he conduciyc to ours. According
to the comments us the American state pa
ssper, c.. cm-e i8_takf*\} that Mr. Jackson is
