SIR,
The letter, which you did me the no.
nor TO address 70 me on the 10Th inst. was
delivered to me on the following day. /
shall, without loss of time, transmit it to my
court, where the various and important con-
siderations which it embraces will receive
the attention due to them. In the interval,
would beg leave to submit to you the fol.
lowing observations, as they arise out of tn e
communications that have already occurred
between us
In fulfilling duty which conceive TO be
due to my public character, have never
suggested, nor meant to suggest, that the
mode OF negotiating prescribed by you on

ferences-w otherwise Objectionable. than
as 1T appeared to me, to be less calculated,
than 1t does to you, to answer the protested

OF one week alter his arrival, G without any
previous misunderstanding win him, from
all personal intercourse, that / thought il

former. OF their lie tding toa written commu-

difference between the two cases, that Mr..
Pinkney was charged to- convey An impor-
tant proposal to His Msjesty's government,
the particulars Of which it might be very
ma!erialt to have correctly stated, whilst the
object OF that part of my conversation. to
which you seem to- attach the most inpnr-
lance, was to say, that was NOT charged to
make any proposal whatever.

French Nobility in America.-We have
seen several paragraphs in late papers, stat
ing that Miss Patterson, alias Mrs. Bona
parte, of Baltimore, had been created
Duchess, and her son Prince OF the
French empire. We paid very little atten-
ton to those stories at first; but they have
been SO often repeated thatwe begint to think
there may be some foundation for the re-
ports. We hope our friends in Baltimore
will ascertain the fact fer we think it of
considerable consequence to our country to
know whether the great Emperor is actu-
ally raising king for us or not. IF it is
true that in this urchin we sec cur future
monarch, we think gen. Smith, who, we
understand, is relation TO the child, would
be more proper person for his guardian
than General Tousard. There are vet few
good democrats in our country who would
pause, if they saw the heir apparent OF the
tzvo americas, under the guidance of are:l
Frenchman but who would be very we'll
contented to have him under the guardian
ship of so good patriot as gen. Smith
And the emperor, we think, would be quite
as safe in trusting his 9ffars with general
Smith, as he would IN the agency Of gen
TIousard especially as he can retain the
400, 900 dollars, as pledge of gen. Smiths
good behavior.
