! Bat some OF tho letters give no credit to
the reason assigned for the Ccnsul's commu-
ncation, but state, that Bonaparse, having
attenpeed to promote q rapture between the
bi1ush and American governments, which
he is apprehensive will be averted in spite
OF all his efforts, has threatened the Ameri-
cans with hostilities.
/ Which of these is the true cause for the mo-
tice that has heen given to the American mer-
charts in Holland, we cannot decide; but the
FIRST is liable to doubt, for if the conduct OF
q. B. either real or probable, had excited any
apprehension that the American vessels
wpn.c be seized by us, in that case, the COM
nuaication OF our intentions would have been
lccnye' cd to Amsterdam, rot by the Ameri-
lean Ambassador at Paris. but by the Anne
ri3an Ambassador at London. Nor is the Sc
conc reason satisfactory. America has s,ewn
no disposition to cuirt the friendship of this
,lcountry st the cztpencc OF a rIptuye with
iFraDcc.--it is evidcft, therefore, that what
ever may be the subject o. dispute oc7wcen
