FEDERAL DUPLICITY DETECTED.

THE fcderalis,s declare, that Henry at the
time he passed through Baltimore, after his
return from Europe, on his way to Washing
ton, was very poor, and had but one hundred
dollars--.,hcy further state that the American
government, gave him fifty. thousand dollars,
for disclosing his secret, Count Edward dc
Crllon, 10 his affidavit, before the Commit.
tee OF Foreign Relations, swears, that Henry
paid him four hundred thousard d francs for his
Estate in Lcbeur, in France---now, four
hundred thousand francs, at five francs and
thirty three and third cen,me, which is the
exact par, is seVenty Ive ihourand dotlars.--
We now demand of the fedcralists to prove,
how Henry became possessed of froeniy,fvc
thousand dollars more than they allcdge gov
ernment paid him for divulging his secret.
The federslis,s must have paid him that tsoen.
ty fve Mousand dollars to conceal their neja-

HENRY'S DISCLOSURES.
AMERICANS /!

AMERICANS!
~. ENGLAND has formed and embarked
in the criminal project Of destroying the
union of these STATES, and thereby Of reducing
this country to her control. For years past
she has proposed to herself this object, and
has steadily directed her efforts to its accom-
plishment. The disclosures of Henry prove,
that so far back as the affair of the Chesa-
peake, she had emissaries here on this nefa-
rious business and ever since has had them
here, whenever occasions afforded the least
hope Of success. 1t forms part Of her
standing policy to watch the progress, OF events
in this country, and be ready to seize the fa-
vorable moment for striking the meditated
and fatal blow. Will any hardy spologists of
England, will even Timothy Pickering deny
the glarlng truth of these statements Will
he deny that Henry was employed as an en-
issary by the Governor General Of Canada,
with the appreciation of the British ministry
He will not. What does Henry say to Lord
Liverpool /? He says,
Soon after the affair of the Chesapeake fiigate,
" when his Majes,y's Goyernor-Genersl of British
I" America had reason to believe that the two coun-
tries would be involved in war; and had submitted
" 20 his Majessys minister's the arrangements Of the
" English party in the United States for an efficient
resistance to the general government. which would
probably terminate in separation Of the Northern
" States sm the General CcnfederGeys he applied to
. the undersigned to undertake mission to Bos
" ton, where the whole concerns Of the opposition
. were managed. The object Of the mission to
promote and encourage the federal party to resist
. the measures Of the general government, to oaei
assurances Of aid and support from his Majesty's
government Of Canada; and to open cornmunca-
ton between the leading men engaged IN that op-
position, and the Governor-General, upon such
footing al circumstances might suggest"

The following particulars respecting a tran
saction which appeared in the papers a
short time since, have been sent US as COR
rect.
A Tin Pedlar was lately travelling with his
cart in Vermont, near the Canada line, when
he was accosted by ore Of Mr. Gallatin's land
tide walters, who demanded of him 4vhat he
rad in his cart 2 The pedlar replied, that he
had some old pewter, some tin ware and some
rags. I mast examine for myselt' said MIR.
Gallatin's representative. The tin-man very
readily threw open his cart, and the treasury
officer mounted the wheel, thrust in his head
and shoulders, and tumbled over the pedlar's
cargo, to find whether there might not be some
contraband merchandise hidden under the
rubbish Finding at least enc half of this
faithful servant Of the United States within
his cart-bex, the pedar concluded it might be
as well to put in the other halt Accordingly
he clappcd his hands gently underneath his
headquarters, and by what we New-England
men call q boost chucked in the residue, put
down the lid, fastened the paddock, mounted
the box, and drove off at full speed to neigh
boring town, about six or eight miles distant,
muchs to the comfort of the officer of the reve-
nue.. Upon coming to tavern, the travel
ling merchant hitched his horse to the post,
went in, and ordered some hay for his horse,
and dinner for himself at the same time, pro-
posing to the tavern-keeper to take pay out OF
his cart. The host enquired of him what he
had to sell The pedlar replied, that he had
some old pewter, some tin-ware, some rags,
and one of Mr. Galatians custom. house officers.
The bargain was struck: and when the tin
man had finished his meal and the horse his
hay, the tavern-keeper proceeded with his
guest to the cart, when upon unlocking it and
opening the lid, the tide-waiter crawled ont
from among the contents of the cart, with his
ribs well bruised by the old pewter pots and
tin kettles, and manfully footed his way back
to the place from whence he came, to make
report of his doings to the secretary OF the
treasury, and watch for more smugglers.

rience. For ourselves we have no disposition

rience. For ourselves we have ne disposition
to raise hue-and-cry against the report; be-
lieying it to be as good as the decretaid STATE
Of the treasury would admit of. Since, how
ever the Secretary himself remarks" That
it became an imperious duty to represent eve
ry circumstance precisely as il was or appear
ed to be, and without exaggerating or DISCUS
ing any of the difficulties which must be en-
countered''--it surely is no less the imperi-
Gus duty of the people from whom the taxes
are to be drawn, to contemplate the difficulties
they will impose, and endeavor, before hand,
to understand them 10 fhevJuH certent. This
would be starting fair, and with clear view
OF consequences; and would leave no excuse
to finch or complain afterwards.
Come then, "good people all, of every sort"
and look at this-an Annual Loan of Ten Mil
lion Dollars, on usurious and exorbitant inte-
rest-at this-a land tax Of three million dol
lars--at this-a retail tax, comprehending the
retailers, as well of the absolute neeessaries
of life, as Of spirituous liqusrs--at this--a
stamp tax--aS this-a carriage tax---at this
an excise--at ,his-a tax on auctions--at this
the allowance Of seven hundred and fifty
thousand dollars to the assessors and cea!ect-
ors, including losses-at this--the division OF
the states into collection districts, having col
lectors accountable to the treasury depart
ment, in the same manner ds the collectors q
customs-at this-treasury notes, bearing In
terest--at this-the superstition or expectation
that an additional revenue will be provided
at thls---the necessary continuance OF these
taxes from year to year, to an indefinite peri
cd Of time, as pledges for the payment of the
interest Of the loans.
While the good people are staring at these
Unlocking items, (or stare at them they must,
though it were impossible to stare them away
they will naturally ask, "Why is this load of
taxes to be laid upon us ?"-Let the answer
be given in the words of Mr.. Grundy, one of

means twisted knot about u.s." We cant

In pl.in English, the great object in view, is
10 redeem the pledge given to France, and to
satisfy onaparte.-Con Csnrant.
