GENERAL TURREAu-The minis
ter Of his Imperial Majesty has seat
near the Emperour's capital Of the
United States. the Imperial city Of Bal
timore. AS soon as his highncss heard
of the arrangement made by Mr.. Lrs-
kline, with our government, lie lsit lila
country seat in great rage, and went
sweating and blowing TO Washington,
| to call our administration TO an account
| in the name Of his master. He wrote
note to Secretary Smith, which, II re-
port speaks truth, was more insolent,
overbearing and irritating, than the
| letter of the polite Duo &c Candore, 70
| oar General at Paris. Mr.. Secretary
did not fly into violent passion, as III
! the case of Mr.. Jackson. 1t was not
polite TO shew resentment just at that
| time. The government did not wash
to be rid of General 1urreau, nor TO
offend his master. Mr.. Smith was
therefore instructed TO have 1t limited
to his highness, that lie could not an
swer letter couched IN such terms, II
was too harsh for gentleman --Theie
were probably some other hints given,
such as that the arrangement was
! shame and that 1t would not be ratified
] BY the British government. The gen
eral was SO far appeasedas to withdraw
his letter, and write another, more a.
greeable 10 the feelings OF our manly
administration. This letter was an
swered and the intercourse continued
as usual. So much for an affront from
Gen. Turreau. The reader IS well
acquainted with the treatment Mr..
Jackson received for an insult which
has not yet been found. But here the
case was altered. Gen. Turreau IS
Frenchman--Mr. Jackson Is al Eng
lishman.--M Y. Z. Post.
The Trenton Fede,aASt thlis aptly notices
the reception the British Minister lately
met with in our metropolis -
The Brisish Ambassador hes lately paid
a visit to Boston. BY the civilized part OF
the community he was treated with civllIty,
and By the savage part, as was to be expec-
ted, with brutality.

We have nothing new, except one
of our briggs Of war arrived here this
morning from Norfolk ; the captain of
which has gone on to Washington, TO
know what is to be done with a French
priyateer schooner they have taken pos
session of. Said schry came IN under
pretence of distress, and landed from
80 to 40 thousand dollars worth OF
merchandise, and is said to have as
much more on board. The collector
ordered her out, but the commodore
took possession of her. Said to be last
from Charleston. | hope they will take
as good care of her as Bony has done of
our vessels and cargoes under his
clutches.
