It is further said that of Mir Adams letters occupies upwards of thirty manuscript pages that he treats the federal party with great severity; and that it is probable the whole correspondence will be pub lished as it shall have been brought close.- If published it would doubt be eagerly sought for and read in every section of the United States; and in none more than in New England, where the fede- rasts hose principles and patriotism the President has called in question mostly reside.
