ton, thing which believe has not been avow-
ed by any distinguished person before, since the
DAYS of the French Minister, Mr.. Genet. shall
refrain from commenting upon the glaring I'M
propriety ofsuch an appeal, especially lmprop-
err from such a quarter,-folowed out IN Its
consequences, it is pregnant with mischief,an
affords matter for serious reflection to the sober
and judicious Of all parties. q.
But what strikes me with especial wonder, is,
that General Jackson, whom 1 have hitherto

But, letit go, the letter, if do not greatly

countrymen, will do the Generals cause much
more injury than he, or his friends who pub

render benefit. What noble contrast does the
course of Mr. Adams conduct exhibit to the
People, throughout the former Presidential con-

idea of the Black Sea -four Company.
"St Petersburg papers to the eth ult. have
