Mr. Adams says, "JU was ir the letters of 1808, and 1809, tbatf I mentioned - the design of certain leaders of the federal par ty to effect a dissolution of the Union, and the establishment of a northern confedera cy. The design had been -formed, in the winter of 1803 and 4, immediately after, and as a consequence of the acquisition of Louisiana." If Mr. Adams meant to state, 9S the evidence of a design to dissolve the Union, the letter of the governor of Nova Scotia, and that alone, the fact is a severe satire, upon his intellectual faculties ; if he gave to Mr. Jefferson any other, facts of a more serious nature in proof of it, which he has now suppressed, his present account of it 13 a gross prevarication, that would be sufficiently disreputable to a man in the or dinary walks of life; but we are-unwilling to use the expression which it would deserve, as applicable to a rnan who has been eleva ted to the highest honors in the government of his country. With what propriety "allusion is made to the purchaeof-Louisiana, as the origin of the plot to dissolve the union, is altogether 'inexplicable. - Many. persons thought it a stretch of constitutional power to incorpo rate that territory, as a state into the Union, of which number, by. Mr. Adams's declara tion, Mr. Jefferson and himself were two. It was incorporated; and federalists as well as others, acquiesced in the measure, and there it ended. Now, how it should hap pen, that the mere expression of opinion on the part of federalists, respecting a measure which coincided with that of Mr. Jefferson and himself, should justify the charge of iOisloyalty to the union in the former clas of politicians, and not against these two leaders of the opposite party, we have no discernment enough to ascertain. Tha project, and several others, incidentally in troduced on this occasion, in our opinion were drummed in for popular effect, and to draw off under the influence of antiquated prejudice, reflects no credit upon the tern per or candour of Mr. Adams. We have extended these remarks much further than we intended ; and shall there- Jore leave tne olher topics to the masterlv reply of the gentlemen to whom Mr. Adams' letters Werf nrfHrCfl It ig mnrh In - - v.. M. .9 I VJ V gretted that Mr. Adams provoked the cor respondence, by his ill judged publication in the first place! But the effect of the se ri cond will be much more unfortunate for his . reputation ; as we rest assured, U cannot i . i .i . , . ldniu reave me most uniavoraoie impres- sion, in regard to his political conduct upon the minds of all upright, intelligent, and ho norable people. Such people will view ii as a lame attetnot to explain, and vindicate his desertion of his friends and party, under Circumstances, that the lapse ot time will never efface nor obliterate. jV. K D. Adv. Mr. Adami" is involving himself in new mazes by his extraordinary publications. Already we hear from so cue of his recent partizans : " We are not sorry that he. is . banished from our public councils. I voted for him, because I was opposed to General Jackson but really Mr. A. has proved -himself so indiscreet in the course he has lately, taken, so completely destitute of common sense and common discretion ; he is so perfectely prostrated by the Eastern Federalists, that we do not regret the sen tence he has received from the voice of the people." . - New difficulties thicken upon him Pub lic opinion in the North has marked out Alexander Hamilton as the individual to whom Mr. A. alludes, as the "leader of tjie military," designated o take the command of the Revolutionary party of New-England. i lie Boston Uaxetle says, that Mr. Ha mil ton "is fixed upon as the individual al luded to as the proposed military leader This part 'of, Mr, Adams calumnies is be lieved to have been founded after the roan ner of a great part of his-coramunication. on rumour. A report known to few in days long passed and never believed, and con sidered of no consequence if true, did state mat a letter was written to Gen. Hamilton requesting his opinion on the expediency and constitutionality of a separation, as to one. able to judge o: its propriety, and lead in it if required. The rumour also said that Gen. Hamilton denounced such a measure as unconstitutional and improper The second part of the report, published as it (was, not long since, by Mr. A. H. Ev- Massachusettelection) are a contest of life and death for the Union." , The Journal has no doubt, that the Citi zen was Mr. Adams Nqw who dots lie mean by the Boston faction Rich. Enq. In another-part of our paper it will be seen, that the Joint Committee of the two Houses appointed to notify Geneal Jackson of his election,' have performed the duty assigned them, and have made reports to their respective Houses. We are informed by an eye-witness of the interview, between the Committee and the President elect, that the scene was one of much interest. The Committee consisted of Mr.Taze well, of the Senate, and of Messrs. Hamil ton, of S. C, and Bell of Tenn. of the House. Very soon after the Committee were ushered into the drawing-room, the President elect also came inj when Mr. Tazewell, the Chairman, met him, and ad dressed him to tjjie following effect : Sir In obedience to the order of the Senate and of the House of Representatives of the United States, and by the direction of this their Joint Committee, appointed for that special nurnose. it is mv duty to timo. all who were not Mahometans were put to the sword It was said that this horrible- massacre was perpetrated in conse quence of a secret order of the Grand Seig nior, who has formed the project of extir pating Christianity throughout his Empire. The Journal do Havre, in announcing the arrival of the Edwnrd BonnafTe, in six teen days from New-York, says it is the shortest passage ever made by one of the line ships, but that the ship Orozimbo had made fhe same passage. The Editor com putes the distance in a straight course, at 1095 leagues or 3235 miles, which gives the ship a daily line of 67 leagues or 201 miles. The same paper says, that the merchants were making great complaints of the diffi culty they experienced in getting ballast for vessels. A number of French and Ame rican vessels were detained oh this account. .The Stuarts. In the year 1025, James VI died.

THE UNANIMOUS PRESENTMENT of the Grand Jury for the Co of Wayne, to the Couuty Court, at February Term, A. D. 1829. THE Grand Jary for the County of Wayjje, feel it incumbent on t to direct the attention of their Fellow Citizens Xo the present deranged situa of the Currency of the State, which is most unfortunately under the contn a few monied inaiyiduals, -and the general embarrassment and immediate which threatenthe good people of the Comnjonuealth, for the want of a sc and sufficient. circulating medium. It is not the intention of this Grand to enter info the causes of this distress and difficulty, nor to heap reproach u the authors thereof ; accusation and recrimination ajre worse than useles their object is only to make such a statement of facts, that the People will stantly recognise the truth of the picture, and be awakened to the necessit speedy relief. To the different Banks of this State, the people owe at least FIVE JI LIONS of dollars.; the whole debt due from those Institutions, does notexc $1,400,000, of which sum it is not unreasonable to suppose that at 1 $300,000 are in the hands of the wealthy, or of the creditors of the Ba, and consequently not available towards the discharge of the debts ofthepec to the Banks, s Seven hundred thousand dollars is therefore the whole arnc of circulation, which can be applied to that debt. The Stockholders of Institutions fhirjing, or pretending to find it their interesUo wind up the t cerns of theBabks, require an instalment of one-tenth of the debt at every nil days, together with the interest. ; A very jimited knrjwledge of arithmetic will be sufficirnt to show such a regulation, rigidly enforced, will in a few months completely withdi the circulating medium from the community, and that consequently, the v-i of every kind of property, depending as it does on tljie greater or less siinph money in circulation, will be ruinously diminished, These are not the s gestions of mere apprehension, or the prognostics 3f mere theory; thev the melancholy ideductious of experience, and have the solemn authenticitv facts. v , , One species of property only lias escaped this depreciation, and the rea upon which the exception is founded, affords evidence of the truth of U statements. Young Negro Slaves, of both sexes, can command fair pri for the purpose of being transported to other States, from ! which come capital and money to purchase. Thus, is the State reduced to the lament- uecebMiy oi seinng on tne enective :orce of the country to pay debts a c, part of which is due to the State herself. The labor uhich cultivates , fields the hands which gather ih our crops, and tend our turpci.tine tr the house-servants, that minister to our daily wants, and do our daily wo are therefore.the first sacrifices, which must be made, if speedy relief be soon applied. Every unprejudiced mind will perceive, that the tPieucv this state of things, is. to destroy the property of both debtor and creditor "a involve in one prostKition of public and private confidence, the People' u the Banks. - 1 d This Grand Jury hold ittobe an unquestionable principle, that the iaterc of all clashes of the community, in this question, are alike.
