Hamilton and the Minerva became Jllent" I have also, fyice, seen the pamphlet, No. V. mentioned in the advertisement. I think it proper to take an early opportunity to declare, that the anecdote ftatcd in the above pa ragraph is wholly falfe, and that 1 never received any such istimation as is thereby pretended from any person whatever. As to the papeFs contained in (he pamphlet, from a cursory perifal, I take them to be authentic. But the solution of them is limply this—Thry were the contrivance of two of the mofl profligate men in the world to obtain their liberation fr»m imprii'onment for a serious crime by the favor of party fiirit. For this purpose recourle was had to Meflrs. James Monro,,Senator, Frederick A. Muhlenbergh, Speaker, and Abraham Ve nabtc, a Member of the House bf Representatives, two of these gentlemen my known political opponent,'. A full explanation took place between thera and myfelf in the presence of Oliver tVokoU, jun.

It it my intention shortly to place the fubjeS more precisely before the public. ALEXANDER HAMILTON. Neac-York, July 6, 1 797. The French faction have exulted in the inftauce of one fappofed attempt on the part of the British government to intrigue among our citizens. By Blbunt s «wn letter it appears, however, that Mr. Lift on did not begin the istngun; the vile and treafonablc measure was profiojed to him.—Be that f<i& as it may, h is obfepvabla that whenever fo reigners wish to carry on any unjuftifiable projods in this country, they know-who to apply ts ; they 1 know what men " have their prices 5" they are furc of not meeting a rebuff among the bawling ex ctuftve patriots, Meflrs. Gallatin, Nicholas, Ik. yesterday in the House of Reprefentativcs wilhed to have the ques tion of impeaching their fiiend postponed until next feflion ; they wished the public attention tote diverted from the offender to the offence, and British bribery.' Four months would have given them op portunity to conjure up some method of screening Mr. Blount, and of raising a cry against what they call a British fa&ion ; but their arts'will fail them Once. Americans will not forget that the traitor is of the democratic party ; that he has uniformly voted -with the jacobin* in Co^refs; and that he has been hind in glove with Mr. Adet, and the Spanish Min ister. Americans will learn to give little credit to men who, while they set up claims to lingular vir tue and patriotism, unceafißgly defame the govern ment of their country. Joly 7- MR. FENNO, IF we were to argue from the conduit of the jacobins on former occalions, it would seem, that the mere a»st of turning four merchant, was consid ered by t>iem as perfectly innocent, if not merito rious When Randolph, for inflanca, foldfour to JFauchet, the dens of the patriots refoundrd with the doleful exclamation of poor Randolph ! Alas ! poor Randolph! he has fallen a vi&im to his ill judged confidence in the President. Pray, geod people, did the President advise this honell unfuf peiVing Randolph to pocket fifty thousand dollars of the public money, and then betray him ? An swer me that question. Again—WhenOenet, in the year 179.3, commiflioned a number oi 'flour merchants, some to cruize against the fubje&s of Great Britain, and others to invade the territories of the tyrant of Spain, as the very men who now dine with his minister then styled him ; —we hearS nothing about the expediency of fending Genet back to his employes. If, then, according to the jacobins, there is no harm in felling flour to, the French, how happens it that the vile crew makes such a clamor about Mr. Blount's contraA ? Being somewhat puzzled at this nice diltindion, I appli ed t® one of the society for an explanation—Why, Sir, said h<, are you so ignerant as not to know, that in the one cafe it was lawful, and in the other treafonablc—Ti.c French are our good and faith ful allies, but as to the English, they are our most inveterate enemies ; and betides,there is more dan ger to be apprehended from British than from French influence—A few thousand dollars will go but a little way towards building chapels, paying old debts, becoming security for leather contractors, &c. &c. Whereas some thousand guineas might, by -ridding a patriot of all his embarrassments, make an honclt man of him But how do you, replied I, account for the fcandaToui treatment we are dai ly receiving from our good and faithful allies ? That to be fyre at firft fight, rejoined he, appears rather myllerious—it is capable, however, of explanation ; but; as We are all sworn to secrecy, you null ad dress yourfclf for a solution, to his Grace the Duke 1 of Chant illy, now is this city, or to cenfeffor.Maz zei, at Florence A.

The second part of your letter more particu larly concerns me, as a longer delay of the eva cuation of the Walnut-Hills and Natchez, lean not ..onfider in any other light than an indirect violation'of the late treaty. The landing of any troops for the pnrpofe of fortifying or re-inforcing Nogalls, or any oilier port above a due east and well line to be drawn 33, and 46, foutlvfrom Mr. Ellicort'* prefect encampment, will be highly improper, ami no doubt considered as a direct attack upon the Ho nnr of the United States, is well as the liberties ess the citizens, and an invasion of 1 part of our tenltory ; there being no war between the Unit ed Starts and Great Britain, the latter poVt-r would have every reason of" complaint (hunld a measure be fpffered. - I now proceed to the third and last part of your letter, and carinot suppose the reaforis offered for a longer deiention of the pests withio the United States, and Tu nning the line, fufficient.

I am forty to find life conftruflion you. give to such an official information, >Vhith leaves no room of doubt. The Projtjdl of an attack from the Britifil in Canada, is Prffitive. and in consequence thereof, it is the duty of the Commander General of Provin-'e to oppose it by avery means in his power, iho' tie piobabi lity is, that they will not be able to catty their plan into execution as we rely on the friendlhip of the United State?, who certain ly will not voluntarily permit fnch an armed force to paffc through their territory, to attack the dominions of his Majesty ; but, when such an expedition was proposed, the British knew very wellihat to aceomplifh it they must necessarily pass through the territory ef' the United States, they certainly have had it in J view either to pass the Pods by surprise, or fonne other combination that secured to them the means of reaching Illinois : it.is to pre vent the efFefts of such an event that the said Commander General takes every measure to obftruft their success at their firft approach, or a continuation of it, if fortune IhJuld favour them in Upper Louiflana. We are far from adting in a manner fa as to alter the good understanding that happily fubGfts between our nations.

' There is no reason to apprehend that the treaty between she United States of Amer ica and his majesty 6>ill not take place in ev erypoint ; the delay experienced with re. gardto one part of it, is not a violation of j the treaty, and is only referred to the regu lar ministerial procedure, which, when fet tled, will be exa&iv complied with ; in the mean while, no alteration can take place, nor can any part ofhis majesty's dominions be considered alienated, delivered in a so lemn and regulai* manner, aad until that pe riod the dominion of his majesty does not 1 cease.
