from the Gentleman's Magazine printed in

tsColonel Burr's visit to Paris has It's OBJ.
ject To submit to the French executive pro-
ject for disuniting the American States, and
| for other measures of efsctual hostility in
the event of rupture between the two
countries. Mr.. Burr communicated his
| plans to our government, together with his
view of the means necessary for their exc
cution; at the same time announcing his
determination of applying to France IN the
event ofkis proposals here being rejected.
Although the state of our relations with a.
.merica, Notifying and 2precarious as they
long have been, hardly entitled the United
States to that delicate consideration on our
parts which has been observed towards
them, we think ministers honestly sustained
the character of the empire in foregoing
a probable advantage, rather than clandes-
timely cultivate a system of hostility, while
they publicly profess their desire for peace.
