IN coniequence OF the jutt obicc-

nlthed ag4inf your continuance here,
as the organ Of communication on

was hgnifled at Madrid, in the month
Of April laf, through the miGion of
the United States there, that the
iubititution Of another was defred by
the Prehdent. In reply it was init
mated 10y Mr.. Ccvallos, that as you
had yourlelt expreAed with and OBJ
tanned PermIiion to return to Spain,
the purPoIe might Be accomplished
without the necciTty Of arccan, and
that tuch change il the mode
would Be agreeable 90 your govern

is fccn therefore, not without fur

have repaired % the feat Of govern
ment as if nothing hal occsrrcd rem

theie circumstances, the preGdent
has charged ne 70 fgnify TO you, that
your remaining at this place is diff

am charged BY the prehdent, at

which have led TO this explanation,
being altogether perlonal, they are
perfectly confitent with the ready

his fist on the ere; and that Immediately
afterwards, the rest ofthe COMPANY, amongst
whom was Griffith, entered into very Ii
beral subscription of the same Kind ofcom-
pliments, attacked him en- maSSe, and bcat
him unmercifully. The sawyer ran away,
and the rest Ofthe company followed his eX-
ample i'll this also; and the only one of
whom he had yet been able to obtain cuSto-
dy was Griffith.
". Griffith, in his defence, gave quite a
different version of the story !; and from his
statement it appeared that the sawyer,
who scemedwas also philosopher, though
ct different school, was YER warmly
engaged III an astronomical discussion
wlth the German, touching the order of the
system in which our earth is placed. The
German obstinately maintaining the doctrine
or ycho Brahe, that cur earth is station
airy and that the sun and planets move round
1t, as centre; while the sawyer, who is
disciple and champion of the Copernican
school, maintained the doctrine OF Newton,
and the moderns. Much gin and beer were
eXhaustedin the dispute, & much of learning
and eloqucnce lavished on both sides. The
contest became too hot, to be sustained bv
words, and the parties, unable to bring
each other TO reason, BY the 'dint Of argl-
g"5a The sawyer told the German,
that it he would promise not to take
the law of him, he would knock him down.
The German, sensible of his kindness, &C
coded to the proposal which was immedi-
ately ratified under the sign manual of the
| sawyer upon the best eve of the German,
VINO countersigned iii his turn, upon the nose
OF his antagonist. War being thus COM
menced according to the law of arms, as
laid down by Grotius, the battle waxed hot !;
and the sawyer, though tic smaller, prov
ing the better man, & too much for his anita
gonist in pugiistical logic, Griffith, as a me-
diator. stepped i'll to negociate for peace, if
possible and in endeavoring to separate
the parties out Of the focus of mutual attrac-
ton, the German seized a pewter pot, and
with it proceeded to demonstrate upon the
head and arms of Griffith, problem on
the attraction and collision Of bodies.
The magistrate dismissed the charge, as
/ against Griffith, and told the complainant to
find out the sawyer, as the proper object of
his prosecution.
