till remains TO wait the determination
ofour government, and with the hope,
although it is conceived ! vain one, OF
eifeaing fome accommodation.-No
hope of an honorable and equitable adj
iuitment of our differences was enter
tanned BY his colleagues yet no dilPo-
fition on the part of the French Direc-
tory is dilcovered TO hurry matters to a
criiis-They count upon our final and
ablolute fubmiiIion-They view US as
weak and abjea-and have no idea that
we mean TO refit reioimely their igl0leni
demands. They calculate on their ikil
at intrigue-the divifons among our
lelves, and the government wanting
lupport. AS a proof that they with on
our part, the idle farce of negotiation
to go on, while they play the ferrous
game Of plundering US Of our fhips and
property, there is " objectionable Ell
drnde," of the Directory having ordered
feveral privateers ont expressly to inter
cept Gen. Marihall and Mr.. Gerry on
their way to France and carry them to
the Weltindies, which would necedari-
y create delay, and give them further

The opinion Of the ENJOYS refpe6t-
ing Talewand's official communica-
ZION TO them, is, that it's as empty a pro
du6tion as ever come from a man who
had any reputation for talents or infor,
nation. We know indeed that the OBJ
je6tions and pretended complaints and
grievances there itated, have been an,
lwered satisfactorily by JEFFERSON,
RANDOLPH, and PICKERING.-
1t is obvious to every man of common
diicernment, that this piece 70 replett
with talihoods and INTERPRETATION
yet 70 full Of candor and good will, wa;
written not with the expectation Of "a
tistying and convincing the ENJOYS, bur
with the infdiouS intention of deceiv.
ing the general MATS of our citizens,
whom they impudently, and faliely, we
trult, expect TO deceive and feparate
from their government. An anfweI
TO this COMMUNICATION of Talleyrand,
by the ENJOYS, is brought BY General
Marlhall, who goes on this morning tc
the feat Of Government. We are hap.
PVT fee HMM good health-He is wor.

American.
With refpea to the continental af-
fairs, the French begin to conGder then
fchemeS of an invaGon on England as
impra6ticable, and have coniderably
relaxed their exertions. They fill
keep an immenfe body Of men on the
coat, the detination of which cannot
be afcertained, as the French Directory
preierve their views profound fecret.
The report Of Carnot's death is true.
At the time Of this venePs failing, the
public attention was principally occu-
pied with the elections. The choice Of
the primary aGemblios had generally
fallen on decided terroriits-the real
Importers ofthe contribution and f.Gem
OF RobeyPierre. Thefe are nearly as
unacceptable as the moderate repubH-
cans TO the exiting government. The
consequence is, that lchilms have taken
place in many of the ELECTORAL an'am-
blies. The minority difpofed to cleo
Perlons in favor Of exiting men and
meafures, have feparated from the ma.
jority, for the purpole of making fepa-
