ter from Philadelphia, on the 2o,h of Feb.
a. is held out in the communication oil

dent the president has therefore lent his
name and high authority. to a statement
which he knew to be false.

lars by the Administrations for the disclo.
sure, and entered into an arrangement with
them to be protected against an, examina.
ton, and to be sent from the country in a
national ship. Of course it is not true that
the disclosure was voluntary.
3rd. That Henry if he has no received
a reward from the French government or
its agents for the disclosure, looks to it for
favor and protection.
The proof in part of these facts will ap.
pear in the subjoIned papers. And on this
brief review of the transaction, questions
such as follow naturally present the mselves

why did the president send out of the coun.

thus used in purchasing copies If letters

the authenticity of the papers, but by the
admiristrasionfor whose use they may have
been made
5th Cannot the people be trusted with
the truth : aud why has the executive who
paid S $4,000 for the papers before the nth
OF February, lent its name to a pretended
voluntary disclosure of it on the goth?
9th. Does this Italian and crooked poll.
cy comport with the good sense, honor &
interests of the country?
9TH. Is it a deep laid scheme in this hour
of distress, TO influence the eastern cleo

pie?
9th. Why did Crillon a Frenchman, give
Henry a deed of lands in France, worth
400 900 francs? Was it confidence on
the part of Crillon? Was Henry a man
whom Crillon could con6de to that amount
Was 1t purchase on the part of Henry
Would Henry an alien enemy have bought
lands in France
