The important intelligence from England, in

rascally rcfolutions of the meetings of the mobility
in America »n the uiijinifhcii treaty of commerce,
the copy of which was given by the treacherous
Mr. Mason, of Virginia, whom we suppose, from
particular circumstances, to be confidsrably indebt
ed to the British merchants. .
The lawless banditti in the principal towns of
America at present carry every thing befoie them ;
and are proceeding as nearly as possible in the fame
manner as they have done, in France; any mau in
clined to peace or moderate measures are in danger
of their lives. "

enquiry intiAjs condpft as a servant of the public,
on the contrary, he wiftes it to be freely, but fair

two hoiifes of Cos orelt have a right to withhold
from their eonftituents a .kr.ov'edpe of public
tiania£tions. A qucftion of ftifF.cient magnitude
to attract the attention of th..fe whose leisure and
talents will cEable them to do full juflice *.o the fub

lign the talk or affording that conviction to the

however unicterclling to the public, such vindica

at lea It as pntiintly attended to : low and contempt,

Let the public opinion and feelings on the determi
