but from the article annexed, taken from the

The following concluding sentence. ct an
t.artielY IN the National InteIligeneer, is
'ictendsd perhaps as caution: 49,.
."Whsn the fact Of the violent sale Of our
pEci,erty could no longer be doubted; when
it'Was proclaimed, from Fte1h authority,
that all American vessels, and their cargoes,
which proceed to the ports Of the continent

We venture 10 say that gen. Armstrong
has committed an objectionable offence, in
the eyes o: the democratic party, and that
he will soon lie rs bitterly denounced for
his manly language at the court OF the Thu
illrIi.s, as Mr.. Pinckney has been for his
civili,y at the court of ST. JaErss. He
tells the French governor in GecoLous but
expli.iS terms, that their Pretence OF. pre-.
crdrnt Forthrir treatment Of Us, in the con.
duct Of Great Britain, is an in!posture and
cann,t be admitted. BY this language Mr..
Armstrong had deprived the French faction
of that apology for France, which they al
ways urged, but which they mI'st 'now'giVe
I'D, or renounce the general. He. has stated
the truth--he has taken federal grouud.--
