1t is time 10 quit this disgusting affair.
Our attention was drawn to il by the CO.
pious and able defence of Mr.. Adams,
and wish to convey 10 the readers OF the
Courier some idea, in few words, of the
controversy. Mr.. Adams is caustlc and
scvare in the extreme, in bis notice OF
Mr.. Rossell, 1t is not surprising that he
should be so. Rhetoric gave her wea-
pons, and Satire hel sting, for no better
purpose than to lacerate and goad the
piundercr Of reputation. 1t is not III
vain that Mr.. Adams translated the Sa-
tires of Juvenal, whose spirit he has en-
listed in his own defence.
The dispute now tapers Oft intp ques-
ton of manners and courtesy. Mr..
Adams appears piqued at the charge OF
rudeoess by MIR. Russell, in his personal
interviews on this occasion. Courtesy
implies respect, and respect conters ho-
nor. Whatever anxiety TO appear polite
to his enemy the christian spirit o! Mr.
| Adams may honorably feel, The people OF
this country will never censure that SELF
respect which dsdalns pariey with one
who, having secretly planned your ruin
stands before you, confessed and contus-
ed, in the light and overwhelming sp'en-
| dor Of truth.

iR. ADAMS AND MR.. RUSSELL

aStrip the false angel of his borrowed guise,
And point the spectre to their straining eyes"
Mr.. Adams and Mr.. Russell were two
of the American ambassadors at Client.
Mr.. Bayard, Mr.. Clay and MIR. Gallatin,
with them, composed the embassy On
a question which arose in the negocia.
ton, in which the majority Of the embas-
sy was opposed to Mr.. Russell, with a
view as il would seem, even a, that time,
to serve himself at the expense of his as
sociaies, he writes private letter to the
Secretary of State (Mr. Monroe from
Paris, in which he disavows the act OF his
colleagues. Peace is subsequently made
to universal satisfaction, and the ambas-
sailors return with the praise of their
country. Patriotism allowed the people
TO make no invidious distinction between
those who had served them. All were
alike honored. MIR. Adams became Sc
cretary Of State, Mr.. Clay resumed the
Presidency of the House of Representa-
tives, Mr.. Galla,n was mace ambassa-
dor to France, and Mr.. Russell took the
seat (once the seat Of AMEs in the Con-
rress of the nation-and MIR. Bayard, the
pure statesman, the ardent patriot, and
the splendid orator, passed from the
honors Of this, to the mercies and bless
jngs of another world, not however be-
fore. in letters of fire, be had recorded
the truth that smoothing is sacred in the
hands Of Infdels."
Years of rcpose. elapse; new views OF
ambition arise and the public eye is
turned, among others, to Mr.. Adams as
candidate for the Presidency. In this
state Of things, at the session OF the most
fac,ious Congress that ever afflicted this
country, where it required not even the
ribbon to designate the rival, parties
praspine at power, Mr.. Russell COM
municates to Mr.. Floyd, member from
The West, the fact that he had written
the letter alluded to, and informed him
OF its conVcl,s. This fact, although de-
MED by Mr.. Russell, is apparent thus:
The letter was a private letter-marked
sprivate' on the back, and addressed to
Mr.. Monroe, too honorable to have re-
vealed il without the authors knowledge.
We do accordingly find tins. he did de-
cline doing SO, until the House insisted
upon it. Mr.. Russelithen svas the PUB

FONEAuE.
From the Philadelphia Aurora.

The Cor,es at Madrid have detected
and possessed themselves of secret
treaty entered into between Louis XVIII.
and Ferdinand VII. negotiated by the
Duke del lntantado and Count Legarde;
which had in its express view, the over
throw fthe constitutional and represent
tative system of government.
The march OF a large French army to
the, frontier Ccordain sanitaire was
stipulated to be a, stated times augment
ed to $4,000 men; military supplies to
be provided by France.
Great Britain 10 aid with her feet, and
on condl.ion that she should not acknow-
ledge the independcn, states of the new
world, Spain would cede to her the island
of Cuba.
This treaty was entered into delihe-
rately by Ferdinand, and when it was
presented to him was not denied, but he
promised (for the hnndredth tirne) 20 be
faithful to the constitution if spared on
this occasion.
The seizure and execution of the lea
ders of the libcrales-Riego, Quirega,
&c. were among the slipulations, and
the concurrence of Austria and Russia
was expressly stated.

LONDON, JULY 81.
The complains of the commercial
world against the feeble and inadequate
measures OF ministers, in what relates 10
the maritime interes, Of this country, both
in the South seas and in the West Indies,
become louder every day. Mr.. Mar.
ryai presented a petition last night, to the
House OF Commons, from the merchants
OF London, praying for more competent
protection against the conflicting arma-
ments of Chill and Peru. But the suc-
ferings of our trade from the pirates, the
utter paralysis which has apparently
seized our marine, and the, consequent
disgrace Of our national character, when
the activity, liberality, and success, OF tho
United Status cruisers are compared
with the conduct, or what we must pre-
snme to be the instructions given TO
those of Great Britain, have really grown
to pitch that is no longer tolersbIe.

administrator, a paper depoted to him,
Immediately under his eyes, and the
eyes of his confidential friends, and am-
ply sustained by the advertising patron
age of the Treasury, of which the very
number that contains this vile attack on
the a inistralion bears ample tcstlno-
ny. Surely so rich patronage ought
to en,i,le the Secretary to some iatie
control over this indefendentlros&.' -
But to be scrious-of what value is the
Friendship Of Mr.. Crawford to the adj
minis,ra,ion What greater nischic!
could his enmity effect, than array
against the administration the whole ar
my Of his active supporters /, would
be much better for the President to have
his enmity with the suhhort ofhis friends,
than his friendship with their hoatihty.
The position in which he is placed by his
friends, so irreconcilable with his relation
to the administration, requires explana-
ton, and it certainly will be demanded
by the people.
The general attack on the admins
tration' would not be complete, unless
accompanied by a shecial attack on the
War Department. This is the beaten
track, the almost inyariablc course.

correctness which characterize that pa
