That the French DircQory, who cau fed the fggellion to he made to Mj, Murray of their pacific fentiments, were inca pable of maintaining the relations of peace and amUy with any Nation upon carta. It appears then that the revolution in France, and the foreiight of our executive, has alane prevented our being once more' deceived by Freach politics. But a ftorm appears gathering from another quarter. The Brililh, we are told,-offended with the profpecYof a reconciliation between us and France, will treat ui in a holtile manner.
