attack on Mr.. Tracy.--After the dis
graceful defeat which followed the base at.
tack on the fame of Mr.. Rutledge, it was
hardly to be expected that an attempt would
so soon be made to destroy character by the
pitlful arts of fabrication. Such, however,
is the fact. Mr.. Tracy last summer adj
dressed an excellent federal pamphlet to the
people Of Connecticut, which was net with.
out very salutary effects; it became neces-
sary, therefore, according to the maxims
Of the new school, to destroy his character
in the minds of the peopleof his state, and
! it was settled that he should be charged
with being a monarchist. Accordingly, a
writer came out in their paper few. weeks
since, and stated, that at a midnight con-
versation, more than eight years ago, Mr..
Tracy confessed himself a monarchist to
one Stanley GrlswoId, then a priest and
democrat, and now an "organ Of Mr.. Jef-
ferson's WILL" at WaIpole, N. H.; and
not only confessed himself monarchist,
but endeavoured to make the good demo-
cratic parson GrisWold one too. Unlucki-
~, Griswold at first mentioned the names
Of two other persons who were present, and
those.persons have publicly deniedthe truth
of his statement under their own hands;
but now he says the important part, the
monarchical part of the conversation took
place between Mr.. Tracy and himself after
those persons were gone, and after mid
night and he adds that he is able to state Il
so accurately as he does because he COM
mitted it to paper ct the time, far the 6ene-
fit ofhis children after he was dead. We
do not mean 10 enter into the controversy
at present; perhaps, hereafter, when all
the facts are fairly before the public we may
undertake to sum up the evidence on both
sides.

LONDON July II.

The moment appears % approach when
It vii! beimpossible any longer to avoid a
serious rupture with the ecurt Of Madrid,
and we apprehend that one with Portugal
will take place at no great length OF time
from the former. Can It be denied that
British subjects in both these. countries
have been harrassed & lnsulted, while the
s,i;tb;ects Of France are treated with extra
ordinary indulgence, and even the laws
strained and violated for their aeconsmo-
dation and interests :. Private letters
also state in positive terms, that COM
mercial treaties highly lJur'""s to or
trade, have been. seoEe.adrd be.wesH
Span and Portugal, and bis, Imperial Ma
iesty Bonaparte. The best informed po-
Iliticiians have long doubted the wisdom OF
ours hacsisity with respect to t;sse eoun-
tries IN whose councils the FIAT OF the u
surpsfis every thing; but We believe that
q very short time will eiapse before the
reasons.aad grounds Of this inactivity must
become tbe subjec, of PUBLIC discussion.
70 the protest of Louis. .XVItl, against
sB6nabaree,s assuming the title OF Emperor
of the French. may be added the refusal OF
,Russia to.rec ogeise him with:that title.

ed with him, and who did not coincide with
him in politics. By me, who have wit
messed has calm intrepidiry and heroic valor
on irving occasions, and was acquainted
with his transeendent abilities and amiabie
qualities, and honoured with his particular
friendship, bis loss is most poignsntly felt.
and his memory will be. ever. most aaectl.
