Z" Ihurday, Sept. 9Th"
This note was sent by Mr.. Johnson, nv
clerk, and left at Governor M'Kean's. Mr..
Breuil called on M soon alter, and said
that tie Marquis &c CASA Yruio would
be glad to see me- at the Marquls's house
al Ave o'clock.
asked Mr.. Breuil if he knew On what
business Nh. Yrujo wanted TO see me
he said he did not know.
went at hve O'clock to Mr.. Yruio's
house, AMI on entering the room was ac-
costed by him ia nearly the following
words:
You will De surprised, Major Jackson.
at the ibersvI have taken in sending to
you, bur trust an explanation of the mo-
tive will excuse me. consider you sir as :,
gentleman, man Of letters, and man OF
honor.
''By political intolerance you have been
forced TO adopt profession different from
what YOU have heretofore pursued bur il
is one 10 which you are qualified TO be very
useful. iobserve by Certain opinions ex-
pressed in your paper, that you consider
the present administrator (tor will not
call them government as elisinclined 10 go
to war with Spain. In this however Won
are mistaken the reverse i. the face; and

those opinions that they may have an arge-
naent ofthae sort for ind4lging their wish

certainly be very injurious 10 your's--for
il the king my master was to order three
ships OF the line and six Irisa,@s to the
MlssissipPI; three ships Of tie line and
six trigateS to the Chesapeake and three
ships Of the line and SIX frigates to Sandy
Hook what would YOU do : But uou have
it in your power to do inuch good, by es.
pousing the part of peace, which is so ne
cessary to both nations. And if you Will
eonsentto take calculations on the subject
from me, will turslsh them~---and | VII
make you any acknowledgement Per-
celvlng at this moment his infamous pur-
pose, with difficulty stiaed the emotions
which IT excited, and restrained nv indig-
nation. He went on to examine in detail
the several points in dispute between Spain
and the United Sfates--and, as [ wished
to learn his oplaions respecting them, |
suffered him to proceed.
Amcng other things he said that if Mr.,
Pmckney had acted BY instructions from
tire ADMINISTRATION or if his conduc, should
be approved by them war was inevitable.
But he had no doubt war was the wish Of
our Observation-Disclosures he lad received a
letter from New Orleans dated on lh- 25lh
OF April las, which stated that there was a
letter a that place in Mr.. JeG@rson's hand
writing, datedin March ias,, which elecla-
red thatif the settlers between the Missis-
siPpi and the RIO Pe1dldo, would raise the
american colours they should be supper

continued his observations, and press-
ed me to give him an MISUNDERSTANDING
me that this was no diplomatic manage
ment, but an ebancAemeat (uaoosommg) OF
