Hut the Prelident did not make application for his
re.lcafe he gave Mr Monre ho intiruftionS even to
enquire if Mr. Paine wis dead or live, in prilon or
out, or to fee if any alfillance could be givcR.hira."
See page 23. MrPaise fays he -can afcribe Mr.
Wa(hingtQnrs filence to no better motive than
a wife to have out of die way, a man 'who had
credit enough t be heard and believed in the Unit

his expofing the mifchiefs of their admiritftration."(
Such a mixture 0f meannef, ignorance and vani

-As to the oin pari ion beteewn the Prefident's fer

mark When Mr! Paine was lecreiary to the com
ihittee of foreign affairs, he was guilty of a breach
of trntllof divulging fecrets wbich his oath and du

truth, he was arraigned before congrefs and ex
