It appears that the Osage, on her arrival at L'Orient, was seized, by the French Gevern mertt, on the ground that she had been poken by a British cruiser, off that port that Mr. tiwis the Messenger to France, was de- . tained four days at L'Orient before he was permitted to proceed with his dispatches for our Minister at Paris -thaMrrNourse, the Messenger to Eagiand, was, although sick, commpelled to remain a week on board the Osage, and then confined (and some of the , papers state," under a strong tguard to the town of L'Orient- that General Armstrong,. having demanded of France the abandonment of the Trench decrees sd far as-jthey related that Jits tongue is no slander.

Spectator. THE MINERVA. When at Halifax February Court last, in a conversation with Mr. A. of Northampton, on the scarcity of money, and the great sacrifices daily made to raise cash, .he informed me that Mr. J. J." Daniel had sold him a note on Mr. F. J P to which I was endorser The exaot discount ion . the bond was not fixed ; bur Mr. A, held the note, and rio doubt conceived it his property on taking it at the discount of fered by Mr Daniel ; but on the next dayr or a short time after, Mr. Daniel cameto Mr. A. and tendered him the money, and idok up the note ; at the same time informing Mr. A. that he had sold it on better terms to a gentle man, "whose name I do not recollect ; but those who desire to know Mr, A. I have no doubt will inform them. ; I was much astonished at this information, -and assured Mr. A. that the sale of the note was a fraud that it was placed in Daniel's possession, as a lawyer, to bring s,uit on, by Mr. John Lockhart agent of Mr!. Isaac Hunter of Wake county 10 whom I had passed it It ,may be well here to remark, that my name was wriitert'bn the note and the endorsement left blank, of course the note was transferable to any one without filling iip the endorsement. "As Mr. 1). was said to be insolvent, I feared that he would not be able to refund the a- roount ; and as the friend of Mr. Hunter, on t my .return to Raleigh, informed htm of the aftair j-at hisrequest ljvrote to a tnend to ap prise IVir. Hunter's agent of the circumstance. This interference, I trust, had its' good effects, for I am since informed that Mr-Daniel has ' i;egained the note and brought uit on it. For thus exposing this transaction,-1 no "doubt incurred the displeasure of Mr. Danidlf and which was very evident in a piece publish ed in the Halifax journal oyer the signature 6 f "Philo Veritasu'''; This piece was written with the avowed intention ofvindicating Judge Ba. ker' pnHensiona to his late appointment, but the triXe intention was. to indulge in an aouse oi 'me, Had Mr. Daniel came out under his re al name, and thexirculation of the pape'r could have been confined to those who knew him, I should not have felt it necessary to make a rc- Ihad resolved to . treat with silent con tempt some oblique insinuations which" ap peared against me not long since in the Mi nerva, conceivingjlhem to be the ordinary ebulitions of passion, or proceeding from a principle Of revenge. But I have been ad vised to publish the enclosed letters, for the a musemcnt oif those inquisitive persons, who are fond of pfying into the private characters of others, whilst their own stands defenceless. A few days before I left this place for the General Assembly, "Mr. E. Foorten. request ed me to be the bearer of a letter,' directed to Chapel Hill, and twenty .-dollars to -his son, Who would be at Raleigh, by the time I arri ved there jif hot, .to transmit the letter and money by the first mail from Raleigh to Cha pel HilL J requested him to enclose Uie mar ney in an enVelope, WhicTilie did, and backed it for Raleigh.- 3 started for Raleigh from the race field wkh Wm, R. Johnston, Esq. and forgetting Mr. Foort's letters left them at home; what became of the letters afterwards you will 4earn from Mr. Dupree's and Mr. Lockhart's letters 'Feeling myself responsi ble for the money if it was lost, I applied se veral limes at the post office for the envelope, after the departure of Mr. Foort, jun. from Raleigh ; the last time I reqjsted the gen tleman in the office to run the letters over, he"" did so andHfound the envelope. AgreesF ble to the direction of the young man, 'and what I felt my duty to have done, I took it out of the office, put the money in my pocket book, and accoqnted.for it a few days after my re turn to this place ; the' other letter I presume went to the University. Whether this trans action be criminal or not, 1 leave the world to judge. , . I am with recpect, Yours, &c. - J. J. DANIEL. Mr, W. TT. Beaton, . I heard Elias Foort, sen. tell Mr. John Daniel, that he was not, nor ever had been the least displeased with his conduct with respect to carrying money to his son at Raleigh the last session of the Assembly ; andthat nothing evercame frpm him or his soti, which would attach the smallest blame to him ; that Mr. Daniel had acted in every respect honorable and satisfactory about the same, and that any other report was totally false, See.

The subject of your letter, relating to some money that you were to fetch me while in Haleigh,1 1 am sorry it has proceeded so far; but I can inform yotr as from a friend, I never did suggest publicly or privately the stigma that you are now -censured with- by your enemies. You say in your letter, dp I not recollect Mr. Dupree's telling me, that you left the letters at home, and that he trans mitted them to you while at Raleigh, he ne ver did,' to the best of ray recollection, and 1 heverknew - whether you ever received the letter or not.

Ijseiw himi and his brother R. together, when h mentioned to 'me the circumstance upon which I informed hira what I had done ; he replied to me that it was not very, material, as you would be liable for them ; since which timei contrary to what has iheen reported, I know from my own knowledge, that you have fullv7 satisfied Mr Foort c6rfcerninc"them.
