TUESDAY MORNING, June %.


No publication in on American news
raper ever excited more just and general
io,,;snation, than the. one contained In q
late Intelligcneer on the subject oil our re-
lations with France. Even the demOcrts
themselves were alarmed to fad such SEN
timents openly avowed, as appears by the
extract which we yesterday gave from
= the Baltimore American. The freeman's
Jouraal intimates that the latter article
was probably written by the late seereta-
Nv Of state. BE this as it may. we are
dad to find some Democratic Editors un-
willing TO stoop to a vindication ofthe llagi-
t;ous conduct Of Bonaparte unwilling to
draw the public attention from the tyrants
professions when they happen to be unfa-
yorable, & directing it towards his s. acts
although these have been uniformly in VI
olation of every principle OF established
law and moral obligation. What must be
Bonaparte's opinion on finding such doe
triues maintained in the government pa
ber here What measures may he rot be
expected to adopt, in relation to our I'M
protected commerce, when he sees pre-
te,rts in abundance ofHciously offered by
the injuredparty Letthe merchant look
to these things, and beware of reposins
too much confidence in professions -: for
while theirs is the loss, zohere is the rene
dug In vain will they search for indem-
nifty any where.
A Correspondent of the Charleston Ci-
ty Gazette states that he cleft James
Harvey, native Of Raleigh, North Caro-
lima. at Cadiz, on board British gun
boat" The Star, printed at Raleigh, as
serts, that this James Harvey SIS na-
tire of Scotland, and reached the age OF
manhood before he ever came to thiscoun-
try.'' Thus another imposition is detect
ed and exposed, though it will probably be
overlooked by these impartial gentry who
seize every opportunity of elamoring a
bout British Impressments.
One would suppose it must be mortify-
ing to Gen. Wilkinson to be so stoutly de-
Tended by his friends, in spite Of his own
express request TO the contrary. The
Wing continues his Investigations relative
to "the mortality at Terre au Boeuf,"
which, he says, "place the saddle on the
right horse" This horse, We suppose, is
the Secretary at War, who is declared to
be afraid of Hampton. One ofthe Wings
correspondents Cfor it appears he has Sc
veraD at New Orleans, says;
"The general THampton] is off: it is
supposed, after his grand speculation with
Daniel Clark, suspected by some not to be
on military duty, but to cooperate with
Clark against General Wilkinson. What
a yirtuous alliance and some begin to
suspect it extends to Washington.
What may be the result Of these "pre-
cious confessions" it is not for US to de-
termine. 1t is surprlzing. however. that
the Wing should manifest such violent
animosity towards Gen. Hampton' since
he superseded Wilkinson. Has the Wing
forgotten Gen. HIS excrtions in promoting
Mr.. Jeferson's election Or has the
Wing received any private injury from
Gen. III. that renders him so furious!
