no lois 60 conceive: war was their iatt
hope, and having this lait and only
hope deltroyed, what have they left 20
conioie them Reflection affords 60
them no comfort, and anticipation is 4
worm that gnawS rhcir vitals. Burro
proceed TO the news The iubttance
OF IL Is, that our rniniiter at Paris has re.
ceived ailurances from the French 90
vefh:neat, tiiat they had the greatett de-
tire to cultivate 9 good understanding
Win che American government, and
that general Victor, who is 10 command
III Louiiiana, had received inlfructiors
from The hrlt conlul to purlue concilia-
tory nleaiurcs, fitch as would conduce
TO the harmony and mutual improve
menr Of the inrerefts and righrs of both
countries; and TO reipcct the rights, ter
r'tores and perlons ot the people ofthe
Unired States
We 10 not know what this fertile,
means by Scratching hopes nor,did WE.
know tillnow thar The friends IF religson
is term of rproach. IF the pref
dent has received any ditpatches fcoa-
iequence from France, it was his dury
to have communicated them not r.,
the Calcutta polenan, bur to Congress.
NE &eH 6ave M protest. FAR qcar. Who
gold you 10, Billy /? Tx accounts are n
paf9fc for which we have the word o,
mott notorious liar, a garbler OF pub
lie accompts, and houle breaker. We
have then another kick at the pyofs60y,
Of ebtlFiaa;y. We are told chat war = was
their tee bcPs. Yes, Sir and when

gland, what might be your laG hope ?
iupPofe it was is,that you would ef.
cape the gallows. My file is not very DO
ii1e, Billy bur lis iuit fuchas a fcoun-
drel like yourieif deferves. Wbarr;obr
have you Sirrah !! to fay that the feaerajs
wanted war? Are they not the fri Ger

preaching publication of Mr.. goba
Walkers letters?
Some months ago, when Duane was
pretty hardly prefed abou, the nol-.
and other Calcutta matters, he had tbs
audacity to fay that there was eenrlr-
man IN Philadelphia from ,Calcurf3 WIZ
would give ample documents Of H..

and from the prompritude and precifion
OF the itory,we all expected that he had >
iheet or TWO Of forgerics lying By him
ready made Bur, from t'larday to this, we
have not heard ore word more Of nm
and his documents. Darlington the
PlckPocker, could have gor abundance
OF documents but of what kind

are they? Why thatthe French, peo-
Pie fertile above all mankind in fair pro-
miles, do nor mean to do US the leaf
harm by taking New Orleans. Whar
KIND Of 9ummery is this to offer as =
balls Of conioIation and of confidence?
kven if the news were true, it is nor
worth a farthing. But as it comes
from Duane, the chance is that it wanrg
even thar miierable merit. The onIy
mark OF truth which II bears is thar rbe
aHurances are entirely mdsfnifs. 17hev

dprlt not fay that the French had pro-
