~ his faorications. that the Public under.
Standing has been insuifed by them, through
he medium Of the American, instead ot the
English Press. But as we would not per-
init our columns to be frostitufed to the
base x Infamous purpose OF .faksehood, SO
shall we be watchfu OF the author OF the
disgracefti criminal expedient and i'm
whatever shape or quarter he presents
himself. he shall not go unerhosed or IN.
punished by us His viie Practices are un
worthy OF the civilized age in which we live
and cannohpossibly be sanctioned or tolera-
ted by any,aan of honor or common honesty.
Facts. we repeat, and facts only, will ever
be nprated or countenanced by US; and,
shielded with truth and honor alone, we feel
a proud confidence in oar means OF sue
cessfully combating the enemies of our
country. The Boston Papers are the We.
hices which this imfudent .fd6r,cafor Of
iatsehood has, for the presen. chosen to
serve his dia6oficai purpose. In those Pa.
pers it was that the nudacious forgery re-
speeding the British Constitution first obtain
ed publication and in the same papers has
since appeared another "Most In1hortont

~ Serruriet,' the French Envoy 10 the
American Government The manner in
which the former was stated to have found
IT way To America was truly rid cuious-
but the explanation in regard to he latter
is W erty contemplate. Ii is stated to nave
been intescep.ed by the Spanish Patriots
between France and st. Sebastian, and 10
have been transmitted by the Spanirh Au-
thorities 20 the United States Now, in the
first place, had any such dispatch been
intercepted by the Spaniards, as it raiates

Their transmit il 20 the British than to the
American Government and il it could be
supposed that it was at all received by the
latter. how came it to get cut OF their hands
and to appear in 3urnai printed at such
distance from the seat of Governments
but the TACT is, that at the time alluded
u, there were no Spanish Patriots IN arms
on the road from France to St Sebastian-
and therefore, in whatever point of view it
is considered, the explanation is as impro
bable as the forgery itself is unf1r,ncihled
and audacious.-The pretended Letter
of Cadore is copied by tine NeSD York Even-
ing Post from Boston paper (; but the
Editor thinks il necessary to apologize for
inserting 1t; observing, in candor. that he
could not yield it any degree of credit The
forgery is indeed SO falhabie, that we
shall not insult the understanding OF our
Readers by devoting any part of cur space
Oit."
We do think the Morning Post would
render an essential service to Justice, were
it to publish the name of the wretch, who
has so often dared toiusult the public by his
impudent and atrocious writings The
crime he has committed against society, is
without a parallel; and although no law
exists by which retributon can overtake
him, the publication of his name would
oil
civilized beings, and give effectual check to
any future attempts OF this mIscreant to
impose upon the creduious.
