1t was probable other measures than a

appeared in Baltimore. The extracts

, forward by the Federalists, and as con-
stantly denou need by democratic writer's.
What will they saynow Z
The last Enquirer contains laboured
article to prove that our administration
have been uniformly impartial in its con-
duet towards the belligerents. He thus
triumpllanty concludes 90 But whatever
may be the course which that govern
ment [France] may choose to pursue, let
no Federalist presume to charge our own
with breach of Impartiality.' After
having attentiuely perused MIR. Smiths
pamphlet, the Enquirer is very welcome
to repeat the exclamation.
Gov. Snyder, with sacred regard to
the laws of hospitality, has issued pro-
clamation in which he says:
"By communication from the Secre-
tary of State for the United States of A
merica, lam informed that it has been
intimated to the President of the United
States, that there is just cause to appre-
bend, that the French Privateer called
the Diligence, now in the port of Phila-
delphia, is in danger of being burnt, OF
otherwise destroyed, and that the Cap
tain and Crew have been treated with
violence, in the streets of that city."-He
therefore offers reward of Four Hun
dred Dollars to any person or persons
who shall apprehend, and prosecute to
conviction, any person or persons who
hath, orhave been or that shall be, guilty
of violation of the laws ofour country,
in the persons of the said Captain or
Crew of the said Privateer called the
Diligence, now in the port of Philadel-
phia, or the crew or vessel of any foreign
power entitled to protection by our laws
now in the said port"
