Covernour Davie stiU tires, and to him I appeal with cenfidence. He declared to, me, that to judge of the con. duct of the American government both in their naral and other preparation for war, and in their political and diplomatic oegociations upon that occasion, a man must go to Europe, where it was considered as the greatest de monstration of genius, firmner and wisdom. If I represent the Governour's expression in stronger ferms than those he used, I request him to correct them. 1 Let me conclude this letter with an anec dote. Dr. Franklin told me, that before his return to America from England, in 1775, he wa fa company, I believe at Lord Pencer'e with a number of English noblemen, when J louse. y The report was read and referred to a committee f the whole.

He soon found that he had a creature of more courage and strength than a hare, for which, notwithstanding the keenness of his eyesight, he had mistaken a cat. The snarl ing and scrambling of, the prey was very in convenient, and what was worse, she had dis engaged herself from hi talons, grasped his body with her four limbs, so as to stop his breath, and seized fast held of hit throat with her teeth. Pray, said the eagle, let eo vour hold and t will release you. Very fine said the cat. I haw no fancy to fall from this height and be crushed to death. You have ta ken me up, and you shall stoop and let me downVi The eagle thought it necessary to toop accordingly moral asfo applicable to England and America that the Table was allowed to be original and highly applauded. JLet Hamilton ay what he will, the French Directory found it conveni nrto stoop and set us down an our honest ground of neu trality and impartiality, a the English did the eagle formerly, and now does a second time. .
