For the 24 hours preceding Thursday

A Correspondent does not believe the re
port that the negotiations with the French
governmental broken offonarcount of their
refufing to make compensation for the spoli
ations on our commerce, because he has rra
foii to think that such demand was not to
be made an absolute condition on the part of
our commiflioners. But be thinks it highly
probable that the French may have infilled
on a treaty offensive and defensive ; and fur
ther, that we should make them a loan to
carry on the war, perhaps to the amount of
12 months pay and subsistence for the army,
and a few Eagles for pocket money for the
First Consul and his Lady ! Nor is it believ
ed, that either Dr. Logan, Thomas Leiper,
Thomas Jefferfon, Albert Gallatin, Alex
ander Dallas, Tench Coxe, or any other
good democrat in the country, would think
such demands unreasonable or improper.
By «n a& parted at the last feflion of the

When we are told that the life of'a man*

Why did you consign to oblivion Samuel

mitted in attempting to impose on the
People of America, an infamous falshood
refpedting Jonathan Robbins, alias Nafh ?
Why did you permit his request to publish it
to remain uuattended to for several week#
after he made it ? it was not thus with hi*
lying epistle, that you seized with avidity as
a mean to further your defigua, and as a
weapon by which virtuous men migh be
injured ; but your friend and correspondent
Morse has uncloaked you, and you appear
before the American People, a base and
infamous traducer of honest men.

Mr. Watne,
THE Aurora of yeflerday morning;
cprUains what is called a Copy of a Leuer
from a Clergyman, corroborative of certain
flatements made at Lancaster, by the said
Clergyman, in the pref»nce of Tench Cox*
and William Barton. Being an old man,
and not very conversant in politics, lam
not sble " clearly tc decypber'' the meaning
of the letter j I (hall therefore wait 'till
some of your friendly correspondents can
" respond" to the following queries:
1. Is it not very probable that the cleri
' cal author of the letter is the notorious Par
son Jokf.s of certificate memory,—
the caitiff who travelled from Pittfburg to
Philadelphia before the lateele&ien, publish
ing " charges of infidelity" against James
Rofs of Pittfburg ? If it be the fame man,
he formerly was well known in General
Wayne's army ; lives now in Chester coun
ty, is a notorious Jacobin and lyar, and has
been in the habit of aspersing the character
of the immortal Walhington.
2. Is it not probable that William Bar
ton is the fame man who left America about
the commencement sf the Revolutionary
War, and took up his residence in Old
England, where he was ardently employ
ed in the investigation of Heraldry ?—The
fame man who said that Alexander Jod-i
" Dallas was as dam'd a rascal ds remained
unhung ?"
3. Is it not equally probable that the
Tench Coxe there mentioned, is the iden
tical person who held an office in the Ame
rican army, and who afterwards defcrted to
the Britifti, and escorted Lord Howe's army
into the city of Philadelphia, about the year
1778 ? PROOF.
For tbe Gazette of tbe United States.
MR. IVATNE,
I PERCEIVE in yesterday's Aurora,
a copy of a letter containing refle&ions on
Mr. Adams, the fubflance of which was said
to be delivered in the -prefenee of Tench
Coxe, William Barton, fcc. at the houfi of
Peter Gorton, in Lancaster. lam led
ta believe that the whole is an infamous fa
brication, from several circumllances, parti
cularly a well-known one, that no person by
tbe name of Peter Gorton keept a bouse of
any kind, or is known in Lancaster.

Last evening arrived the brig Little Ma

previous to his leaving Lifbon,the Court of
Portugal received a formal demand from
Buonaparte, for the sum of Eight Millions
Crowns, to remain neutral, and to permit
the French veflels free entry in the ports of
Portugal—That if this wasrefufed, he would
imm»diate!y fend an army of sixty thousand
men under the command of General Brune
who was waiting wth an army of twenty
five thousand men at Dijon, in readiness to
march at a moment's warning j and that
Spain had given consent to their marching
I through her territory—That this informa-
I tion had delayed the fai'ing of the BritiCh
Packet, and that the Court of Portugal it
was generally believed were about returning
