The Publick will readily difcern,
that this credit not given until after
detection and proof, and wholly in
confident with his Chronicle declar-
ation, which he had probably for
gotten, is no ratification.
Aware that Mr.. Sullivan is adrois
at ovation, we thought it not inprop-
er to ufe little art TO detect him.
We therefore pointed out only the

mits, contrary to his declaration in
March Taft, that he had received

Of the committee, has now another

Sullivan, as Attorney General has
proiecuted feveral individuals, in the
Diftrid Of Maine for trefpaiies on

has recovered damages, Of which we
cannot find that he has rendered any

2co dollars, Of money in the cutie

obtained by receipting for it, as re-

enough to fubEantiate our charge,

took my note for it. Once in par

demanded of ne the pay Of an old

him thas my other old creditors, in

thrown in Parr of their demands,
and if he would throw in certain
part he would pay him the ret /; he
agreed to do it, aud MIR. Strong paid
him the money in my prelence, and
took my nose Tor the fame fun thae

not more than FIVE Years old, at q

SPANISH AFFAIRS.

Our relations TO Spain are now peculiarly
important, not merely from the claims which
they involve, or the hottie confequences in
which they may terminate, as from their being
the germ of the unfortunate diunion which has
prevailed among the republicans of Congrefs.
But we muf confefs that thefe fecrer proceed
lngs OF Congrefs are not more important i'm them
ieives, than difficult TO be underftood. The fe-
cret Journal as they call it) is, to be fure, laid
before the people; but the people are yet en-
veloped in egyptian darknefs. They fee mca-
lures Propoted, but they are unacquainted with
the reaions. Revolutions and Bills are named,
but the very BATS of thefe meafures, the mefIa-
ges of the executive, and the difpatches of our
minihers,are carefully placed behindthe curtain.
Yet the people can fcarcely hope to underfand
theie proceedings, when even the members of
Congreis themfelves do not undertand each o.
Their, with all thefe documents fpread before
them. One member, for inftance, aGTures YOU,
that the refolution of the fecret committee was
intended TO act ofeRG1eiy againft Spain ano-
Their that it propoied mere meaftlre of defence.
One is for interpreting it, TO drive the Spani-
ards out OF the contefted territory; the other,
TO guard our eftabiiihed frontier againft future
encroachments. Mr.. Alton aTerts that the
additional troops to be raifed, were TO he
placed on the &c ground between the MiGif-
fippi and the Perdido - Mr. Clay, that he had
voted for them to defend the fourh-wefe rn
frontier" which s'we had fcen invaded bv
Spain"
The following article from the National In.
telligcncer embraces the frh INTERPRETATION.
with the reafons which led to the meafures ac-
tuaily adoptedby Congrrfs. The article which
fucceeds it, prefeuts with no lefs interelting
view, on the other lide of the quetion.

iPirit, which would not take the fmallen adj
vantage OF the dtrefIes of Spain. But there is no
man thar we know of, whole chivalrous fprit
would in fuch a cafe carry him farther than
John Randolph; no man who would ll,rink 70
nt'nctively from any thing that bears the fem.
hlance OF dithonor. And to this, we are prompt
cd to aicrlbe much of the ,oppofi,ion that he has
made TO a monied accommodation with Spain
----But 1t is this very enthuiiafm, whioh has
bere milled him. {" To excite France by ma
lcy' to bully Spain out of her property r'
Surely tbs is not the courfe we are purifying.
we would give territory for territory. Spain
or rather France, who governs her, will not
content to it. We viii! then buy be,, territory
we will give her what it is worth ; what may
glut even the &c lufful appetite" of France.
Can this be called brihing of a bully?
Ii 1t be eHentia' TO our own interefs to come
to an amicable adiuftment with Spain fSpain
IS IN that degraded fate of pupilage, that
The will do nothing, but what is acceptable to
France if France compels her to ak money
and we are willing to give her the full value of
her poiiefions where let us demand, is this
oaie prottration of our national character %
Mutt we wait in Till higher tone of CHI
various enthuiiafm, until France has made her
peace with England, liberated her flips and
troops from European warfare, s. ihe ihall come
forward to negotiate with us in the full DIFF
play of ali her power ?
On thefe grounds fee no Reasonable OBJ

chate CT the Floridas. As to the other mea-
iure, propofcd by the fecret committee, the
rating OF additional troops, it might have been
advItable ar fbe time, when they made their re-
port but the battle of Trafalgar removed its
hrongeh recommendation. There was no ne
