Eriract from Waskington, dated .Nau Is

Extract from Washington, dated may o5.
The meddIing conduct of certain To-
reign consuls, in relation to the poIiticks of
this country, naturally gave rise to suspici-
Ons that it proceeded from some occult and
sinister motive, as it could not be perceiv-
ed that a Russian or a Swedish agent.
without some such motive, could be very
anxious about the ascendency of any parti-
cular party here. Accordingly, it was long
ago discovered, that busy Swedish con-
sui, now nc more, was engaged in the SER
vice of the English minister at Washing
ton he was fully exposed, and never az
forwards made his appearance at the seat
| of government.

lTAPHIEvE, the Russian consul at Boston.
has heretofore taken an active and deci-
ded part with the faction devoted 10 Brit
ain in that town. A transaction has come
to my knowledge, the publication of which
