On the z7,h Of February laR, the Au-
rora had got an inkling of this fupprefion
and as ufual, without waiting to receive
; correct information, proceeded to charge
il TO !" lome agents of the late adminiara-

! people the views, deiigos and conduit of
Mr.. Adams and his mlniRefs,' and con-
cluded with exprefing with to :" ger
! berterlclue to the buGnefs, sand promite
So that it lhoold be unrayelled." After
waiting till this time, pamphlet has aP-
: peared, from the preis OF Meilrs. Denni-
ion & Cheetham, dilclodng all the cir
cumRancss, and fixing the iuppreilion not
by the Sc late administration, NOT on the
: Federal party, not in lhor1 on any Fede-
S ralif whatever, but on leader OF our
political opponents and thar, no lefs
perfcnage than the Vice PRECEDENT of the
: United States.
Prefuming it will be agreeable to
numbers of our readers, TO fee an analysts
of pamphlet with 10 interefiDg title,
we now proceed to make a review of it,
In manner which we hope and believe,
will be thought by all parties an impartial
E one.
The Narrative ftatcs, that
"Mr. John Wood contracted with
MefIrs. Barlafs and Ward, booksellers in
the city of New York, to write hihory
E of the Administration of Ichn Adams,
late preGdent Of the United States. In
conformity with the agreement, the hiao-
2 ry was written, an edition of twelve hun
dred and fifty copies OF it printed. As
Z ulual, it was advertiied for fublcription
in ieveral New York papers, many fub-
sfcribers to'the work were Obtained, and the
: public were in daily expectation Of wit
. neGing its publication. The edition was
bound in boards and ready for fale early

expecting much "regret that the oaly
hiaory written OF the administration of
Mr.. Adams, has been Jappxgid by fin

Befti0e proof of the motives of the fup-

about his actions cunning, fort of led

relates to this gentleman, ne higher fpe-

than that of a circumltantial or prefunp-

indeed, are in their nature nothing more
than comparilon TO the extent of their ap-
plicability, and 10 farfber, it may be
truly affirmed, that Prsiumptive proof Of
what bears relation 20 Mr.. Burr, is as
