Much has been said lately about Mr..
Pinkney's letter having been received
by MIR. Secretary Smith. lis now as.
certained and acknowledged BIZ all par-
ties at Washington, that Mr.. Pink
ney's triUate letter contains no such IS.
sertions as have been palmed on the
public-nor is there any idea that G.
Britain is going to send out another
minister. The democrats suppose the
lie has had its intended effect, and We
shall soon hear no more of il. The
last Argus has started another. 1t has
published something, said TO be an
extract of a letter from Charles Turner,
Jun. a member Of Congress from
Plymouth county. The letter contains
no assertion of any one fact-oRly, 1t
is said" thus and so--that the right cf
search was agreed 10 be given up BY
the continental powers (; and that Al
American vessels had been given up
by France. All this is nothing more
than certain articles appearing in the
democratic papers of London and Liy-
erpool. The fact is not so--and Mr.
Argus-man ought to know it. France,
to be sure has lately published De-
CREE, and 1t is published in the federal
papers-but the last Argus does not
contain syllable offt. Why? because
a part OF that Decree admits US 10 trade
with France ONLY UNDER A FREScH
LlCENCE. So much clamor was
made about trading under British III.
cence (Which is now at an end) that The
Argus-man was afraid 10 expose 10 the
good people of Maine this FRESH IN
SUIT ON OUR NATION. See the art
and unfalrness of the Argus. 1t con.
tains parcel of dying reports about
French DEGREES, and the repeal Of
French Decrees-and when the NEW
DEcREE ITSELF is in the Argus office
the printer will not publish it--he dar'

men. as though he conGdered the
