The last oiicial accounts from France
have at length ro,sed the indignation 9 the
administration, and tina, in no slight degree.
Tina, they have been most deeply aud
dannably duped by the French for years

their pusilIanimous conduct. IL the vii.
l.iuy Of Bonaparte was not apparent be-.

The administrators can no longer deny that
they see it. Congress will probably be call.
ed together in very short time. They
mus, be called. The administration will
no. &C, without the concurrence of congress.
Probably they viii wait, till the arrival Of
the John Adams yet, whatever documents

pesessisy Of speedy call of congress. :
Perhaps our government has promised
Bonapar,s more than the people would SUI.

Edward Livingston has sued Thomas
Ia rsoi, damages laid at 100000 dollars,
tr dIsposs ssiny him BY force OF the batture
which the court of Now Orleans had decid.
ed to he his. The editor Of toe, Enquirer,
who 10 an universal genius, and has there.
fore n law library in his head, asserts that
the claim is not worth a 100 cruts. We
advise Mr.. Livingston 70 d.sis, immediate.

Richie who sayeth very sagely tia. q ma.

tratrs do net perform according to their
judgments. Friend Richie .quoteth from
sundry writers learned in the law. mo
,ction on the case will be against q judge
for what he does as judge" A judge
snot ,answerabie To- the king or the party
for mistakes or errors Of his Judgment, in

Why then reighber Richie, was judge

anne Il force of the u. States to despoil an
Individual of his property to the amount OF
so or 100 900 dollars, aud the individual
brings an action against him If he can
show legal authority for what he done he
will be acquitted: If he can show no legal
authority, yet itshsll appear to the court
that he thought himself authorised. and his
conduct, arose from a mere error. OF ,judg.
