digaifed to have acted like the General
who took the spy to every part of the camp.
showed him the spirit that his army breath
ed, the discipline that prevailed in it, and
sent him back with an injunction to tell the
: enemy all that he saw.
Paris papers to the Sd inst. have brought
the conunnation, but not the conclusion Of
the trial of Moreau and the other prisoners.
! 1t will surprise those who are acquainted
. with the forms Of criminal Jurisprudence in
this country, the only sysgem Of iurispru-
dencec!n tire world watch reaching pertec-
;'tion rs nearly IS any human system can
:reach, deserves 70 be universally admired
and allop,ed; It wal snrmizc these per.
Sons, we say. to Sud thar the oau paro4 t.
violence addnced is that Of tire prisoaers
themselves they altgNe evi1sGce against
each other, and furnish the triounal with
ali the particulars Of their views, of their
objects, and their operations.
The principal witness against Morcaa,
is man of The name Of Rolland, who gave
evidences of some expressions ailedged to
have been used BY Aforeau; who, TO a ques-
ton put,to him by Pichegru, replied s'that
ii they would act according to his opinion,
the census and the government Of Paris
must disappear, and IN that case he had
party strong enough to obtain the authori-
ty. Moreau positively denied having
made use Of any such expressions. Roll
iaud persisted in asserting tha, he had. -
MORGAN then suggesed that Roland had
cndeavored to eliminate him, for thu pur-
pose Of saving hinsali--a suggestion, in all
probability, bar too weii founded. Piche-
CRU was ,he only man who could have con-
tradieted ROLAND; and Bonsparteknowing
this, took care that Pichegru should disap-
pear Moreau's evidence is in she same
spirit with his letter. The polignacs and
Georges appear to conduct themselves with
great dignity and hrlnness.
The following account has been given in
amornpg paper of the departure of Mr..
Livingston which we think far more prob
able than the contradictory accounts.
Mr.. Livingston left London for Paris
on Friday last bat there is no foundation
whatever for the reports that his depart
ure was accelerated by any hints from 60
vernment, and that the provisions of the a.
lien act were put in force againt him. His
mission to this country had no political OBJ
ject and it is ridiculous to suppose as has
been asserted in several of the public prints
that he brought an offer of Malta to our go
vernment, on the condition that it would re-
cognize Bonaparte's assumption of the In
perial dignity. His errand as we mention
cd on his first arrival, was to do in this
country that which could notbe done in any
other to negotiate loan for the United
States, in order to complete the first install
ment engaged to be paid by them to Bona
parte for the session of louisiana. Sir
William Pultney and Sir Francis Bar
ing, have we understand, all the advantages
arising from the negotiation. The former
has very large property in the states of
North America, and the latter is at the
head of the first commercial American
house in the city Of London. This &C.
counts for the sumptuous dinner which Sir,
William gave TO Mr.. Livingston.
