BLA NK DE ED S For Sale , at this Office, * LOUISVILLE, TUESDAY, ,3, , 799 . An extraordinary circum- Hance Las happened in Penn fylvania flate, which will i n a great meafure account for the rapid fbides which the govern ment of this country has taken of late towards monarchy, an rl the oppreffions we daily find coming upon us. It is no lefs than a clofe connexion difco vered to be between Mr, Litton, the Englifh minifter, and fome men high in office, in our ov n government. The following may be relied on : “ Sweezy, a noted horfe thief in Bucks comfy was outlawed, and fled to Nova Scotia and Canada, from the government of which latter colony, he was lent with difpatches to this city, and on his return was purfued under the iormer outlawry he | efcaped, but his chara&er called for an examination of a parcel which he left behind, in whicti were found three letters fiom Mr. Lillon to the honorable Prefident Ruffell ; befides a great number of letters from * certain OLD TORIES, refident in this flare, to others who took refuge f;om juftice in Canada. The papers are fo warded by the rnagillrate who opened them to Prefident Adams/* We (hall be able next week to lay two of the letters before | cur readeis. J here is a third letter of the Britifh rniniller of which we have not been able to obtain a | copy, becaufe it is in the hands of adminittration, but there is a faft in it, which has come to our knowledge, in a manner which we can neither depute nor fufpeft the authenucity of. It /lates to the Briiifh government oj Canada , that in the event of that Britijh province being attacked h any foreign power , the government of the United States Hood pledged to /apply a military force adequate to the exigency to defend that cclonv , and to prejerve it to the Entijh government. One rcfle&ion prefents itlelf on thefe attempts of Bdtifh in triguers to involve us in this war; let any man compare this praiie of a public violation of the laws by the Britilh minilier, with the barbarous expofurc and /logging of the two Mi/s Daly s, at ( on, in Ireland , the daughters oj Mr.E u * gene Daly , a Uatiorer of gr^ c lefpeclabilhy in private andpuh lie life—with a [ ntence of lafhes inflißed on two beautiful V ct *'v; ladies, both in the ptime of youin and beauty ; and foi onlv lament ing the cruelty pia&ifed on intS brother , for it was the brother bewailed- —let any American Ills hand to his heart, and 1') it dehrable ; is not the iaea 0 tabic —to have any connexion! with a government whole mm l |1 I ter interferes in our natrn^
