ten : " It is no longer duubted that our Government
will meet with opposition from the Spaniards, when
an attempt is made to take possession of Louisiana,
and that the Spanish Minister has obje(ted to the
right which France Claim's of alienating this Country
to the United States. The truth is, that there is a
Concerted plan between the Courts of Spain and
France, and that the Americans are only made use
of as roots, to prevent the English-from seizing on
the territory ceded to thern At all` events, our
Administration appears resolved toAnake all ob.
stacks which may be thrown in their,Way yield, to
force : they consider the quiet- claim of 'BONAPARTE
equal to a just title."

Great complaints are made, in the American Pa.
pers, against the insolent conduit of the Crew of a
French Privateer, which may be said to have block-
aded the port of. Philadelphia, as she brings to all
vessels inward and outward bound. This humiliat-
ing sight has been for some time witnessed from the
different wharfs in the town, and yet no steps are
taken to put a stop to this gross insult.
