The annexed letter of the honora-

credential in my favor, in presenting
myself to you, with the important
mission it announces. An unforeseen
accident has frustrated my voyage
hence TO your continent in his Maies-
tvs Cutter, which sailed for New
York on the 2O'h of April last; and
combination circumstances, reou r.
ing my arrival in S. America with as
little delay as possible, have receiv-
ed instructions Immediately to depart
by the shortest route of the Leeward
Islands, and am ordered to communi.
cate 1t TO the government through the
medium of you, by transmitting the

pray you to be pleased to deliver it
INTO the hands of his Excellency the
President ; and as eventually some an
swer may be practicable in so inter-
esting business, Gen. Francis de

To the Editors Of the Boston Patriot

Mr.. Bristed, in his Hints. p. 500 to
Ais has published some account of
an affair which he says John Adams
quashed. Whether this is a re-
proach or an honor, the public will
judge from the Documents.
On the 25th of August, 1923, I re-
ceived-at Quincy, the following Letter
from the Sec. of State.

ing the year ending on the 3oth Of

terest -on the public debt. ). For the
purpose ofreimbursing at the end Of
the year $3.50, 900 dollars of the prin-
cipal loan. as authorised by law, had
been negotiated TO thar amount: but
has since been reduced to 2,75o,coO
dollars; the reduction being permitted
by the. state of the Treasury !; in which
there will be balance, remaining at
the end of the year, estimated at q
100000 dollars. Forthe probable re
ceipts OF the next year, and other de.
tails, refer to statements which will
be transmitted from the Treasury.
AID which will enable you to Judge
what further provisions may be fleces-
sary Tor the ensuing years.
Reserving for. future occasions,
IN the: course of the Session, whatever
other communications may claim ,our
attention, L close the present, by ex-
pressing my reliance, under the bless
ing nf Divine Providence On the iude-
ment and patriotism which will guide
your measures, at period particularly
calling for united Councils, and inAex-
ible exertiens for the welfare of our
country; and by assuring you of tire
fidelity and aiacrity with which nv
