We perceive, BY late Baltimore Pa
triOt, that there has arisen discussion
between the government OF the United
States and his exceiIency the French mi
mister, relative to an insult given to his
Christian Majesty, by the postmaster Of
the city of Baltimore, at public dinner
on the 4th of July last, In commenting
on this article, the National Intelhgencer
in its semi-Of6cial tone, gives an air Of
confirmation to what might, in the first
instance, have been considered as mere
rumOr. A more clear aud dlspassionate
account of the case, We think, ought to De
given to the public, before cerrecs OPT

whom we believe to he an advocate and

Now We think our administration admi-
rers cannot do better than 10 turn their at.en-
tionto this paragraph. Here are advertise
m@nts occupying space OF forty TWO col
umns, informing the free ciizens OF this
country that their houses must be sold over
their heads to pay for Mr.. Madison's war.
They are, however,it is 20 be presumed,
amply compensated for this triling iaeou-
venience, BY the round assertions oil our de-
mocratc editors, thai our cabinet have de.
rived world Of glory from the contest.
The auciioneer, while he is flourishing his
hammer over their heads, may tell them, be
comforted gentlemen, our administration
glory is a very expensive article--it con.
sumes your houses and lands, aud turns you
out upon the world paupers and mendicants
You will have the pleasure of rejecting
what an incompatible sacrifice you are
making, and il will give you fair opportu,
nifty OF putting your patriotism to ;he proof.
Free trade and sailors rights demand this
| trifilng acknowledgment, more especially as
MIR. Madison has SO handsomely abandoned Il
them by his treaty IF you and your fami-
lies are made mendican,s, you have only to
reflect that government is very expensive
tbing--lhat the great men who supeiintend
our deslinies at Washington must be paid,
and paid roundly too, for the pa,ernal care
which they take Of this republic
His aucuoneers, i, seems, are allowed ten
| per cent for their agency in this business,
TOR they, as well as other patriots, must be
well paid for their services. They will tell
the people now, what friends they havs in
| our administration, 10 steal few votes a,
| the polls, and after our fellow citizens have
done this, they will be told, quietly and
and peaceably TO depart from their estates,
ior MIR. Madison cannot afford 10 have so
much glory for nothing They may still
be allowed to join the democratic editors in
shouting the panegyrics oi our ..dminstrs-
tion, and this will not be thought TO be high
treason, in the eyes of our glorious and pat.
