The Paris Journal DIES Debats observes:


"The new President of the United States, Mr..
Adams, when he says in his inaugural speech, that
the American Government is the least expensive in
The world, has raised, perhaps, the most dangerous
question that could occupy the thoughts OF the Eu-
ropean nations. The immense sums which the
European Governments levy upon the incomes OF
individuals, may appear but necessary and useful
sacrifice to people who, like the English, possess,
or think they possess political liberty. Such peo-
pie talk thus-our armies; our fleets; oar public
debt; our finances. All with them IS national /:
burdens as well as Notwithstanding and glory.
On the continent, dominant sect or party in the
ministry, at COURT furously proscrlbes the term
and the idea of nation-we arc but subjects, and
whoever wishes to be citizen is felon, lacobin;
the State means privileged hereditary class
such is the doctrine which that dangerous sect daily
incucates on kings and people,

Georgetown.
After Conners arrest he stated that Barbour had betray

he gives of himself vague and contradictory Some times
he denies being in Maryland for five years pas-at other
times he says he employed to fish Elk River by Ma
