Bulletin Ertrdordinary-We regret 10
be obliged To state, that the Editors of the
Richmond Enquirer have enjoyed no lucid
interval since our last. Their malady, on
the contrary, seems to rage With increased
violence, and TO threaten the permanent
overthrow oftlair fac lilies of ratiocination.
So great indeed is the disturbance of their
intellectual powers, that they have lost all

they have issued a exclamation grant

we are not yet enabled TO state with any
degree of certainty. A few days, however,
must relieve the public anxiety on their
accuunt. .ldt jour.
When the principles of the late treaty
witt, Great Britain, for the suppression OF
the slave trade, were discussed, Mr.. Craw-
ford warmly advocated the policy of yield
ing the right of search, TO u greater exteGt,
than was afterwards recognized by the
treaty and fold Mr.. Canning, the Minis
ter ot Great Britain, who was pressing the
subject on our government, that Mr.. A
dams was the only man who prevented
the desired arrangement 4: At length when
the slave trade was made piracy, and TO
lie punished with death, Mr.. Adams, after
providing the most fl cctnal guards against
abuse, aeceded to the arrangement. Yet,
this same Nj. Cran ford, after the papers
devoted 10 BIS lntei cs's had raised . strong
opposition to the principle of this treaty,
denied, that he had ever been consulted
on the subject of the treaty, and avowcd
iIls opposition 10 it. This fact, it is said,
was publicly statrd on the foor of the
Senate. when the principles of the treaty
were under discussion, by one of Mr.. Craw
ford's most managing adIleIcnts and by
this opposliior,, the ratification oflhe treaty
was Will night being defeated. Now. the
candid reader is asked, to say whether
the fergiyersation Of Mr.. Crawford was
not induced by a wish to prevent the rati
f~cation of the treaty, and render the
measure odious 10 the public, So as mate
+ ally %toefiect the standing of the Secretary
Of State ; believing, that he should he 81
'evated, in fie same proportion as Mr.. A
dams was depressed. -Reader, compare
this motive and conduct, with the motive

your own conclusion. 10.
