TUESDAY, MARCH 10.

Hardly any business has been clone td•day. The
busines of the spy HENRY, occupies the tongues
of every body. Some of the (fiends of the Admi-
nistration:are wdrkingi-hatd to make a serious busi-
ness of it. ro-dayit seems to.be the opinion of all,
that the President had better kept his secrets in his
pocket. A week ago, the Secretary denied that the
a 4) Was going toEutlope. It is said, that this morn-
ing. Mr. MuNRO declared that the Goi6roment were
bound` not to pursue Mr. HENRY, and that he was
ready to sail for Francein the Wasp ! The wretch
could not go to England, or stay here. SoMe think
DE WITT CLINTON has set this . business afloat in
.order to render MADISON unpoliular,
13.--Mr. PORTER stated /to the House, that
business requiring dispatch rendered it necessary for
the committee of Foreign Relations "try- sit to-day
during the sitting of the' House—and asked such
leave.—Granted.

The Committee of Foreign Relations sat to-day,
it Is said,
,to examine a certain Frenchman who came
to this country from England last -.fall with, Henry,
and who, it is reported, has got some of the
48,000 dollars, which it is now pretty generally, if
not universally believed, Mr. HENRY ha 3 received
-from Mr. MADISON.

It is expected th.lt the Committee will be pushed
to make a report on. Monday.

Ikliatevet ad; Ater Ministers may itEtte (6 give.ein
the spbjea of Lord HOLLANn's motion, Which stood
°. fat disdpssion this day, there is one argument which
might with propriety' be-used, not merely as an tir
gumen4unt. ad .dcothifiem , but as an argumentilm 'ad
rem. And this argument vtiould be decisive, even
had Mr. Hekey's instrti6ti6tia tieen- as clearly
liable to the construe-lion, which lie has chosen to
put upon them, as they are obv.iously Otherwise ;
had those, instructions proceeded direelly frcim
Majest)'s Ministers, • instead of coming from the
Governor of Quebec, without the authority, or even
the knowledge of the British Cabinet.
The authority, too, by which this argument is sup-.
ported, is such,we coiceive, as Lord'HOLLAND Will be
the last, in. the s.vholeicircle of politicians, to resist.
Our readers May recollect-that, rot Jong before the
French ReVolutibn, internal dissensions' occurred-
in Holland, owing to the intrigrics of Fiance. Two,
opposite parties existed in that country at the period
-in question, one attached to England; and the other
favourable to France. £he illustrious Minister who
•
then, happily for Europe, ruled the Councils of this
Country, immediately resolved' to support that
party in Holland 'which was attached to'us. 'And
when the question was discussed in the ,House
of Commons, Mr. Fox bestowtd his unqualified
probation on the policy pursued by Mr. PITT, which
he proved, by a memorable quotation from VATEL,
to be perfectly justifiable 6y, and strictly conform-
able to, the Law, of Nations.—We have not the
book at hand to refer to, but the zrinciple laid down
was this—that where two parties 'prevail in a State,
one friendly, the other. hostile .to another Power,
that-Power has a right to inlet fere in support of the
party friendly to it.—Now, to apply this argument
to the present. case, it will not- be denied, that
two -such parties existed in Arnericae_ at the
period when he-received his instructions from Sir
JAMES CRAIG. That Officer, therefore, would
have treen fully justified by the Law of Nations, as
established by VATer.; had -hc been authorised by
his Govemment in interfering, even in the manner
in which Mr. Herm has asserted (though we are
persuaded untruly) that lie did interfere between
the rival parties in that Country.

We yesterday adverted to a paragraph which had
appeared in different Papers, stating that Ministers
had agreed to offer to the Roman CathOlics three of
their principal demands, viz. to remove the impedi-
ments to their pr•omotion to the highest ranks in the.
Army, the Navy and the Law. We can, however,
venture to state, upon grounds on which we fully
rely,, that there is no foundation whatever for the
report,
