? Letter no. 2, now engage* opf'attention j the
eonctoina of which,* furnishes an evidence of the
speaking of oaf government. Because some of the
seamed of obe of their frigates have-deserted# ■'and
are found on boardan American ship; the govern
ment is to be insulted, v -Avarktim mosey, is where
our government is most vulnerable, says tno mlnii
tal !-»Smce the time of the Directory, these Freneh
nien have been trying to lay us under cOntribution.in
one way or another; in part we are sorry , to say
■that they have succeeded, inasmuch as they have sold
usstcountry,. which by llfeif management We run the
Sisk of losing qgsin—but that is over—for God’s
sake let us keep fast our cash in future* for if they
once put their hands into our treasury,-we may, if
j>0 more* be 4tved the trouble of devising means to
get clear^f rorplus revenue.v .-Tie secret expedition,:
of which the admiral speaks of. in the conclusion of
sumbet S/it il most probable was intended for the
Continent, and not for the British Islands as they
are too well, guarded by their marine to indulge a
hope of success. .
From the 4th letter, we understand that general
' Turrcau has apprized the admiral that the American
govertunent drill not furnis^ money to equip his dis
abled fleet is the ports of the United States.—
A‘ tbi*4he,admiral is all indignation, he itdstsh
nishedat tie Commanders of the French ships ! For
* what we ask ? They could not make our government
launch out cash; then why are they to blame? AVe
can.see no mason for blaming these, commanders,
unless thejjpiad neglected to lay our Towns under
contribution!, and, thus have extorted money. Mon
ster Turreaahitsnot obeyed his Imperial majesty’s
orders—what those orders were we know'not, but
if they related to money, we believe Monsieur Tur
^ reau has not been idle. Finally the admiral is de
termined to deuounce the American government to
his Imperial majesty. This threat we have no
doubt will be put in execution, anti the vengeance
of. his Imperial majesty on our gr -ernment, and
on the people of America they may or may not feel,
according as tbs means of vengeance are afforded or
denied.' '’ " '
