every man of property, of talents and
of influence, who feels interett in his
country's welfare, to come forward,
and take decided ftand againit the
overhowing torrents of democratick
corruption. On the fdc of jacobin-
i'm, heavy contributions are levied
upon mea of property for eitabliih-
ing democratic papers, which grow
up in every part of the country like
muihroons the pen of every man
that can produce dull paragraph, is
put in requitition and every man of

eed with the diitribution of thefe pa

cans exped that they fhall be able to

Mr.. Erskine's Agreement.
We lay The following ertrect tet6re our
readers, US sve reeeluea IL.
Mr.. Erskine positively acknowl-
edges the authenticity of the ins,ruc-
tons we have seen published, and ex-
pressly and unequivocally admits that
he has departed from them--He ex-
plicitly declares that the agreement
was provisional and founded upon an
expectation and understanding Of what
would be the course of measures which
would be adopted by Congress.-He
also declares, the British government
have undoubtedly right 10 disayow
the agreement and they have done
every thing that became an honorable
nation to prevent any eyii consequent
ces arising 10 the citizens Of this coun-
try, from trusting that the terms of the
agreement would be fulfilled.
"He expects to justify his conduct
to his own government, by being able
to shew, that he he'd received the recog-
nitions required by Mr.. Canning in
their Shirt. In regard to the knowl-
edge of the executive here as TO Mr..
Eiskine's instructions--he at different
distinct times said "that he had COM

agreed to give up one of their cam
