Mr. Russell, THE writings Under the fignatureof ''!&■ on'nfat," do honor to the head, and heart of the writer : As a Stalefmai I he appears to be thoroughly acquainted with the difpofi rions and proceedings of our to wards France : As a Patriot lie is anxiors to exonerate his country from those libellous charges of perfidy and ingratitude, which have been made agaii.lt her by Genet, Fauchet, and Adel; ani which hive been aided by the abominable treachery of many American- Arnolds, wha have fold their consciences for French gold, and have belied and traduced the legitimate government of a country which 13 disgraced in having given birth to them ; merely that they might find favour in the light" of the rulers of France; and fhsre in the general plunder of friends and foes. That the.American Republic Ihould silent ly submit to the repeated libels on itsgovetn ment.and people ; that it should tamely bear iriftilt and outrage ; appears to be the wish of those who have grown callous to the-fame in famous line of conduft : But Heaven be praised, such is not the sentiment of the great body of the American people ; nor such the creed of her ablest champions and defender*: The fatellite3 of France, thro* the medium of certain jacobin vehicles of fonder, have spread far and wide their cal umnies againlt the eonrtituted authorities ; charged onr courts of jilftice with violating the laws of the land, and existing treaties ; denounced the men whom the citizens of America have seen leading their armies to victory in the cause of liberty; or presiding at the head of our councils. To refute the charges, and {hew the sals hood of those calumnies and denunciations, is a b< unden duty on eveiy than who has time and talents equal to the task : The latter falls to the lot of I.eomdas, and it is hoped he will never be weary in well doing.

Extraft of a letter from the captain of the schoo ner Susannah, dated Guadaloupe, 2d April. " I am sorry to inform you of our illfaccefs on the voyage. I left Cape Henry on the 25th of February, and on the 12th of March, five leagues N. W. of Antigua was captured by a French privateer mounting two guns and forty meß, who took myfelf and three men out of the schooner, put a prize-«na!ter and seven French men on board, and brought us to this place, where, after two days, om- trial commenced — both veiTel and cargo condemned—myfelf plun dered of books, quadrant, and most of my cloathes ; and what is (till worse, the whole of my people put in gaol, and myfelf threatened very hard. There are upwards of for:y Ame ricans in gaol in this place, besides a great num ber that have been exchanged with the Englilh. Our treatment is most intolerable ; worse than that of the Turks in Algiers—infultrd by every blick fcamp,and they protedled by the govern ment. Nothing is more common here than for a blacJt soldier to have a white man arretted for the smallest offence—l don't know whit to com pare it to, for I am sure the Moors in Barbary have more humanity—All the black American seamen are obliged to work for the republic, and have only three quarters of a pound of bread and four ounces ot cod filh for twenty four hours. They condemn all vessels cleared out for the Weft-Indies, except for Guadaloupe, ; there has been about ten condemned since I was here. I have not been able to fee my people since they were were put in gaol, except one, who works for the republic—We are not per mitted to go to the giol, as they have an idea that America will declare war against them. If I were to insert the whole of my ill usage it would take two or three (heet» of paper They condemn vessels, some for one thing and some for another ; any thing will answer if they want the cargo—The owners of the privateers are tke judges, so that everyone trys his own cause. I foal! be I suppose, some time in May, and hope to find congress fitting ; lam i determined to go before theni, and if they will not give us fatisfailion, nor fuffer us to defend ourselves, I will never fail under the flag again, for I am determined "to have fatisfaition at the risk of my life and salvation.—l have taken charge of a (hip here for St. Thomas's, where I (hall make all possible dispatch for home. 1 Ships of 200 tons fell here for 100 Joes. 1 " I (hall be obligedto leave my people here ; I have tried every means to get them out, but all 5 to no purpose.

February. ( j Very soon after you wrote the eleflionsof ( Piefident and Vice-President were compleat- ( ed: they have excited in England, in France and in Holland, a degree ofinterefl and at- . tention, which proves the rising importance j of the United Stales. The event has been ( expefted with a degree of feeing, of trepi- , dation, of ardent wi(hes in favor of one or j the other candidate, which has afforded one j more melancholy proof, of the profoundly . rooted principle of animosity, which at this moment arms one half of the hnman race a- | gainst the other. All the friends and parti- , fans of ancient eftablifhmenjs, good or bad, ( throughout Europe, all the adherents of Great-Britain, all the people who have pro perty yet left in their hands, all the peacea ble, moderate and humane, and all the ene mies to the present French adtninilfration, a motley mixture, whose sentiments one would imagine never to concur in any one point, agree in their wishes for one of the persons considered as candidates : while all the ad herents to the present French government, all those who pant for revolutions, all those who are by anticipation f ecding upon the plunder of the present proprietors, all those who are fattening upon war, and railing ,ortunes up. on the misery of nations, all the remaining enthusiasts for democracy, all who desire to fee the United States at war with Britain, ar« equally zealous in favor of another. They seem on both fides to fancy, that the detiiay not only of America, but of Europe, is, in a manner, suspended upon the decilion, and both have already indulged in the exultation of announcing that the choice has fallen upon him whom they refpeftively favor. The firfl, ohjeft of our attention at this time, is the ptedicament in which we (land towards France. Nothing new nas turned up, except rumours and reports propagated by the usual French mechanism lo operate upon the public opinion. Our American let ters generally fay, that the lat« conduft of the French government has not occasioned any alarm in the United States. I cannot fay the fame of the Americans in Europe ; many of the friends of our government are frightened ; and the impreflton produced up on our (locks ia considerable. Every artihee of France is at work, and thtre is scarcely any thing operating to counteraft it. In general the alarm is heightened by Americans themselves. . I have, in former letter, given you a flatement of the interell and motives which concur to bias the minds of our coun trymen now in Europe, and informed you, that Paris has long been the resort of many individuals, to whom the deftrudtion of our government, and a civil war in the United States, are objefts of desire and puifuit. It cannot be too Arenuoudy repeated, De caufethe final event depends altogether upon ; this single point of fa£f. The French go vernment have been led to believe that the people of the United States, hare but a feeble attachment to their government, and will not support them in a contest with France. It is upon the idea of this internal weakness and division alone, that the French have hitherto ventured upon their late measures, and, as they arc (fill flattered with the fame hope, it is impoflible to ascertain how far it will . lead them. The event of the presidential eletfion, as now announced, has exceedingly mortified them. Upon a train which they had so long been concerting and laying, they had founded and been encouraged in rhe mo(t sanguine expeflalion of fsttling the choice, The effedl which they certainly did produce, that of throwing thirteen or fourteen votes into one scale, which, but for tbem, would > have been in the other, and their approxima tion to success, has rather Simulated further ' exertions, than deteired them from repeating , their experiment. ill success has'pro voked, without discouraging them, and they , are afluted, that by persevering and beating | harder upon us, they (hall compel the Ameii f can government to submit or furcecd in over • turning it. I fpesk not from simple con -1 je£hirr, but from inferences confirmed by personal obfervation,and by intelligence tolti ably direst. , They know perfeftly well, that if thertiat -1 ter should be brought to an hoAde iflue, and i the American people support the measures of their gorernment, Fnyice muff give up the 1 contest. They know that France, by doing her worst, cannot eflentially hurt us external ly ; as to her fending an army against us, they have not the most distant idea cf it; and yoti may judge from the iflue of their expedi tion against Ireland, in a condition their c naval power is. Ships it is indeed poflible for them to build and rig; but failots and 1 rmrine officers they cannot make, and tbey hive them not. This famous Irish expedi -1 lion, befidctall its preparatory expenses, h*s cost them three Ihips.of the line, three Attics, t two frigates, two cutlers* fever.il transports, ] foor or five thoafang' mm, sfria a great dea of dtrri3gc So all their vjflels returned. Fiom the firft moment of their failing, until i':e re tarn of the last tTanfport, every circumilance ' that lias been related of them, or that they relate thetnfelres, Ihews their totM deflhutino of naval (kill or experience. One would ima gine from the accounts, that they had not un board the whole fleet, a man capable of managing a fail boat. The French pupers (till announce verv pompously that gteat pre parations are making for a second expedition, but the general Hoche i$ appointed to ar.o- ■ ther command, and if shey venture out with _ their fleet again, it vrili only he to meet with a more difdttrous fate. As to thei't allies, , Spain and Holland, nothirg is to be expcfled from any concert of operations between them. The history of the late EHith expedition a t gainst the Cape of Good fiope, affords two important incidents from which the conclu sions are inevitable. That expedition was planned in concert with the French, and at three several flations on the paffirge they kad engaged to furnifha reinforcement of troops. . at every owe of them they totally failed. 0" I the very firft appearance df the English fqtiad- <. Ron, the Dutch sailors almost nnanimoufly t stripped off their three colsted coi.kade9, fuD- t itituted the orange badges in their stead, refe upon their ofHcers, and would not fuffer the , admiral to employ the fe)led him j to surrender tiiem up at difcretiun, and seven c eights of them immediately entered into the r Briiifli service. The fame temper prevails , among the seamen here in the Texel ; and it ( is but a few days ftnee, 1 heard a marine ofH- j cer fay, in answer to general Rewbell, i bro- ! a ther of the French diredlorj who was enquir- ; ' ing why their maritime exertions here were so ; ; feeble : •" you know that alraoll all our sailors < ate against us." 1 n What f«rt of harmony of operations at fca , I between France and Spain is lo be anticipa- j ted, may be judged from the well known cir cumstance, that many of the Spanish (hips are commanded by French emigrants, and when a Spanish squadron lately put into the harbor of Toulon, some of those officers were arretted, imprisoned, and with difficulty re scued by the Spanish admiral from the muni cipal adminillration of the place. In this country, the conviftion, as far as I can judge, is universal, that they have much to loose and nothing to gain, by a difference with the United States. Our commerce and our payments are almost the only resources, the enjoyment of which is yet left them. In my ejsnverfations with their merchants, and even with .members of their government, they freely acknowledge this, though they as free ly fay, they fear that they should be forced to follow whatever France should dittate to them, and this is unquestionably true. An intelligent and considerable merchant of Rot terdam told me, a few days ago, that he was glad the French government had determined to intercept our trade with England, because it would eflentially injure Great-Britain, and mud be excused by reasons of (late. I asked him, what he thought would be the conse quence of an embargo of fix months laid by the American government ? " It would bring ns all," (aid he, " English, French and eurfelves to your terms, but the Ameri. can government cannot carry it through," At O'Ellers's Hotel.
