May hear of an eligible situation on ap-

expose themselves by falsehoods and absur-
dities, we will inform the public of the
manner in which these letters came into
our hands. We must, however, in the
first place be indulged with a few remarks
upon those whose folly and falsehood we
are about to expose, as also upoii the sub-
ject generally.
The contents of these letters had been
more than once mentioned in our presence,
and excited as may well be supposed, a cu-
riosity on our part to peruse tjiem ; they
were put into our hands on the nth of Ja-
nuary, but without permission to publish
i them. On the 12th, but too late for that
day's publication, we were left to use our
pleasure, and we determined for the reason
! we have formerly stated to publish them,
which we accordingly did on the i-|th, the
next day of our publication.
We did not think that there was any thing
more than a perusal of these letters requisite
to satisfy any one (who was not determined
to reject the truth) that they were genuine,
and that was one reason why we did not
state the manner in which they were inter-
cepted. Another motive, we must confess,
had some operation with us. We knew that
the friends of France would be placed in a
disagreeable situation, from which we wish-
ed to see how they would extricate them-
selves. There were but two ways, either
to deny their authenticity or to defend their
contents. The former appeared the more
safe, and has been adopted.
First commodore Barney came forward ;
he did not indeed positively insist on their
being forgeriers, but he endeavored to im-
press such an opinion. General Turreau
authorised his name to be used to the same
effect as the commodore had done. We
endeavoured to bring the general and the
commodore to a declaration that the defence
should rest on the authenticity alone, but
they were too cautious. Meanwhile the
minor democratic' papers (for we must do
justice to the more intelligent papers of that
party, such as the Aurora, Citizen, &c. to
observe that they did not run into such fol-
ly) chuckled and crowed wonderfully upon
the complete evidence furnished, as they
were pleased to suppose, of the falsehood of
these letters.
Next came the Enquirer and his corres-
pondent with a stupid story, in which they
could not agree. Upon seeing our reply
they amended the story,_ and in which they do
not yet agree. In the' first story Norfolk
was said by Mr. Ritchie to be the fdace
where the sugar box was landed, this is de-
nied by the correspondent ; -the editor.of the
Enquirer being thus corrected, in his paper
of the 6th insists that the box of sugar was
landed at some other port in the U. States
and sent to Norfolk, where it was opened,
the correspondent insinuates that the box was
landed at a port not within the Chesepeake,
where the packet (containing the letter;) di-
rected to the French consd.1 at Philadelphia
was taken out and sent to Norfolk. Now
which of these gentlemen are to be believed
and answered ? The editor or his correspon-
dent ? Fortunately the ingenious interroga-
;ories and assertions of both can be answer-
ed, by which the one w ill appear as credu-
lous as the other is false. The editor of
the Enquirer has more then once insisted on
the high respectability of his correspondent,
and assured his readers that there was no
doubt of the veracity of th s sugar box sto-
ry. Before we finish we expect to oblige
him to confess either that he is a party in
the story, or that he is more credulous than
discreet, and he may take his choice. And
¦" now for the plain, round unvarnished tale,"
that demolishes at once this fine sugar box
story, so happily invented, and so ingenious-
ly sustained.
These letters were intercepted on the 25th
November, by one of the British cruiaers
on this station, on board the schooner Mer-
chant, John Bigby, master, from Havana,
bound to Baltimore, Cape Henry bearing
west about 5 leagues, ^directed under cover
to a Mr. Williams of Baltimore. They must
of consequence have been duplicates, as no
French officer was on board the Merchant ;
captain Bigby denied any knowledge of the
dispatches being on board until they were
shewn to him. As captain Bigby proceeded
on his voyage and arrived safe, we presume
he can if called upon prove these facts.*
The American public, we considered
was entitled to know the sentiments of a
principal French officer towards our govern-
ment, and people, and for that and other
reasons we performed our duty in laying
them before the public.
The editor of the Enquirer having made an
indelicate allusion to the consular agent at
this place, we declare solemnly that the Bri-
tish consul was not in Norfolk nor in this
state, when these letters were published ;
that we never heard him or any person of his
family, mention these letters until after their
publication ; and we do know that they
were published without his consent or know-
ledge.
We now take leave of the subject, upon
which we have said :nplai,i cj' a clJffcri
course, as certainly, if they submitted, with-
out resistance, .to an extraordinary nuasur-;
from one belligerent, they would naturally
expect, another bellij^ert»ri*t to adopt the sanje
measure, when rjot forbidden ljj_treaty____
The following are extracts from 'different
speeches :
From Mr, Perceval's Sftetehi
" The colonial trade was certainly that in
which neutrals had the least right ; and

Whatever might be the feelings of govern-
ment towards America; whatever might be
the principles on which the late negociati-
ons had been concluded, these were no rea-
sons for delaying the adoption of more vigo-
rous means of retaliation against the enemy.
He contended that considerations of for-
bearance respecting America, should not
induce the house to abstain from adopting,
not an act of practical injustice, bat.the
measures which the circumstances of the
times required, namely, to warn American
vessels in the first instance, against entering
French ports; but not to capture them, unless
bent on entering the ports of France. If they
were to wait till the American government
should insist upon those principles, by
\ by which the law of nations is upheld, they
I might wait till doomsday, as whatever might

j would attend to their commercial interests.
I Since the publication of this decree, which
; had been at first general as to all nations,
: some communication had taken place be-
tween the American ministers in this coun-
try, and the Federal government in conse-
quence of which, some practical relaxation of
the decree had taken place. This was one
1 ground why we should look upon America .
