Hpicions of the French Ambassador Caulin-
court had been excited by FREQUENT interviews
with the Prussian Minister of State Baron
Sladen. (who had attended their majestss
to Petersburg,) had with the Austrian En-
bassy, and that lie had caused the Prus-
sian officer of the name Of Kruger. who was
entrusted with dispatches for Berlin, &c. to
be followed, and it is said, murdered and his
papers secured. Amongst these was the let

OF her hop., that tile war which Austria was

however, contains an cxtrac, from the West

4. In every private circle We hear
democrats reviling England while they
are tacit as relates to France. How
different is the conduct of tho federal
lists. Compare it with the patriots Of
'76 and you have striking parallel -
The patriots of &c complained of hav-
ing their commerce cut off from all the
world /: SO did the federalists of Tops
field, Boston, Newburyport and else
where. The patriots complained of
having the trial by jury taken away
SO did the federalists in the case allu-
ded to. In fine, the true spirit of indie.
pendenCe which dwelt with the wings
IN the time of our revolution, is inhe-
rent in the breasts Of federalists at lhi.
