DOCUMENTS.

The following is the conclusion of the attack
on Mr.. Madison in Chcetham's paper. Cheat-
ham deserves little credit for thus countcnancing
an attempt TO palm piece upon the worla, as IL
1t were the production of the venerable Samuel
Adams, when he has been dead for several years.
I'VE have already said enough in reply to this
attack.--Our commissioners at Paris were, Ben.
Franklin, John Jay, John Adams and Henry Lau-
sens.-Of these, it is presumed, that ]. ]. was
the author of NEST of the preceding letters.
This PSeudo--S. Adams seeins To be mistaken
as to the motives of the French cabinet in this
transaction. 1t was not their object to obtain the
Mississippi, the western territory and the fishe-
ries for themselves. Rather different views are
ascribed to them in the Life of Washington, Vol
5, and Gordons American Revolution, Vol s.
Gordon has presented long account Of this ne
gstiation, a-even considerable partof the inter-
repted letter of Barbe Marbos.-Tim. Picker
ing, when Secretary of State under John Adams,
gave a very elaborate account Of the same
transactions, in one of his official dispatches
His object throughout is to shew, that the con-
duct of France towards us has been uniformly as
bad it could be. He assigns most of the Gre
dit Of this negotiation to Adams. Gordon ,rans,
fers it to Jay.

and recorded in the county court of Henrco, has
assigned to the subscriber trustee, for certain
OF his creditors therein named, the whole of his
estate OF every description, Except his household
furniture, and some few debts transferred by him
as trustee; subsequent to the execution of said
trust, as will more fully appear by reference to
the schedule annexed to said deed y consisting
OF some OTIS in ti- city of Richmond, together
with all his bonds, notes and accounts--1hs IS
therefore to give notice to the debtors of the said
James Fisher, that all judgments obtained where
the money has not been paid, all suits now depen-
ding in the courts of this commonwealth or else
where, all monies in the hands of attornies She
rtis, or others, which may have been collected
by virtue OF any suit, debt or demand Of the said
James Fisher tEat he is the only person autho-
rised TO receive such debts and demands and grant
such acquttanCcs and make such compromises as
he may deem most advisable for the interest OF
said creditors
A hope is therefore cherished, that every effort
on the part of said debtors, will be made in Or
der TO 4 settlement Of their balances, and every
indulgence will be given by him to those who ma
niies; such disposition.
And whereas il is stipulated bv the contract
ing parties to said deed, that certain creditors of
sad James Fisher, who from absence or other
causes, could not signify their wish of becoming
parties thereto now, be it understood, that it they
40 Nltlm Sixty Gays, from tie SAID hrs day OF lu-s

tberwise, if they do not, within the time spcciii-
ed make known their determination bv subscrib-
