Ed CoALR, Esq Of Baltimore, dated
NEw-YoRk, Feb. 81.
In eight days hope to find a good cp-
portrnity to cross the Atlantic. There are
vessels bound to England and France, and
am somewhat undecided as to which Of
the two 1t is most expedient to go for de
rect. Perhaps may think it best to sc t.

" Should you see any publications on that
score" disclosures made to government &c
mentioned above in this letter. at any
time, give you full liberty to repeat all
have told YOU, and be particularly careful
to repel with indignation any insinuation
the spirit of party may suggest, that my poe
litical mission or the papers connected with
lii, contain single line that can expose any
human being in the u. {"

motion was neg3tived on. the ground thas
