prevalent report on the continet that the

From private intelligence which has

abandoned hetfelf to France, and that Hie

Some particulars rcfprfting the nature and
result of the imparant inquiry which has
been ioftituted into the conduft of an illus.

higher circles. The examinations are said
to have been confined to two points; the
firft refpefting th; birth and parentage of a
child of four years old, educated under the
immediate proteftidn of the Royal person in
quell ion ; the next as »o the general difere
tion of her conduft. The infant is afeer
txined, by reference to the regittry, and to
its parents, as well as by the concurrent
testimony of every pcrfnn examined on the
creation, to he the child of persons in a
very humble r-nk of life at Deptford, and
to have been maintained and educated by
the Princess on die purest and most amiable
principles of Charity and Benevolence.

It is dated through the medium of the
federal prints, that “ his mod Catholic
mtjelly has renewed and. continued the ap
pointment of the Marquis Yrujo as minilter
to this country”—“ Tills meafurc of the
Spanish court,” it is added, “ can be eon
lidered in no other point of vi«w than as a
so!! and entire approbation of the condud
( of the Marquis towards this government.”
It is molt probable »hat this annunciation
is from the Marquis himftlf. If so, it is
entitled to little credit; for the man who
has heretofore so fhnmeiully distorted fafls,
and so grossly mifreprefentjd the meafurei
of our government, may miftate, and pro
baly has mi dated, in this inftancc, the
moafure cf his own. Bs this, however, as
it may, the triumph of the federal presses is
perfectly charaftcrifticof the party, who do
not fail to rejoice at every obstacle that is
prefer.ted to the accommodation cf our dif
ferences with foreign powers. Be it their
boast, that in their devotion to petfonal
feelings, (hey forget their country.
If the king of Spain has unqualifiedly ap
proved (hccondntfi of his miniftcr, and has
thus made his adts those of the Spanilh go
vernment, much as we may regret the fol
ly of the meafurc, we mutt submit to its
effedk, Our government hns afted with
dignity and forbearance. It has endeavored
1 to prevent the mifeonduft of a subordinate
agent frem being converted into a fcricus
mifundertlanding between the two govern
j tnents. If Spain will permit herfelf to be
deceived, and will adopt the unjaffiliable
ccndud of her agents, fine mutt take the
confiqucnccs.
Thd circumftanres attending this case
ftrittiy enforce the policy cf having the

j and motives to action are so repugnant so

that it is lea reel y poffiMe to make them be

For the CHRONICLE.
To the Citizens of Columbia Cottniy •
4 YOU have been very cautiously and
timely reminded,, fellow citizens, by a wri
ter in the Herald of the 25th inftart, who
profdTes to love your intcrcft, and wellbe
ing at heart; of the faft approaching era,
when we will again be called upon, to give
in our fuffrages, for mctnbeis to represent
us in ths national as well as ftatc legislature.
Those timely obfer vat ions are accompanied
with all that heft of fuperciiicus and irvec.
tive animadversions, which natural}' flow
from an envious and wicked mind ; against
a person of decided merit, and (mqucftiona*
ble weight in this county. This renewn'd
Mr. Cato, the writer I refer to at this time j
who he is I know ret, nor do 1 knew any
thing of his character ; therefore I hope it
will ndt he deemed criminal in me, to be
governed in what I may fay cflhe gentle
man, by the specimen he has given cf him
fclf.
in (htr firft plr.ce then, fmcc there is ho
law againll thinking, 1 an ihduccd to be
lieve, tiwtt this fa id Cato, from the malevo
lent disposition he seems to pdTefs, and the
party he appears to efpnife, together with
the low wiiicifms that principally compofc
his address to yeti; iruft be a graduate in
the femirary of fct:rrility and chicanery ;
erd has no detihr, tirres without number,
at‘td his part, upon the iheatieol In pocrify,
with his fellow cmilarics, under the tuition
and foledinftion of ihe wife proved Peter *
I am fomeivhat fearful, that this learned
Cato, When he was getting his diploma
ccnfefed upon him, by the r l luficea of the
above femirary, he was net critically exam
ined on rhe dead languages, lincc be appears
not to have made any great proficiency in
writing la tin ; however, it is a very great
3cubt with me whether he knows a word of
it, as I am pretty well convinced that his
tmor is ignorant cf that branch ofcollegiare
fudy hißtlelf ; —But as he appears to be a
profrfied hand at propounding riddles, I
1 think it weald be doing cur country a piece
of fervite, ferns to cncCurage him ih that
fcicnce, as it appears completely adopted .to
his extraordinary genius.—lt very much galls
the tender feelings of my friend Cato, to fee
prcfefibr Simms, (as he is pleased to call him)
pntrenifed by so many refpe&able citizens
of Columbia. Being entirely void of any
accusation that could pofiibly militate aginft
the public charather of Mr. Simms; he has
.fwbfiituted and given vent, to that low,
groveling disposition, which he pofiiffes;
and endeavoured to trace the conduit of that
gentleman, through all the cvcluticns cf his
private and domcftic retirement, with a hope
to (indfomcthing, rp:*c which he might dif
cfearge, the dark and insidious consents of
his ir flared brain* He proceeds to inform
you, that a few weeks part, Mr. Simms had
the prcTnmpticn to collctl a number of citi
zens (lefprftable no doubt) at his own hoirfe
for the purpose, he fays, of making choice
of a county member, to fill the vacancy oc«
cafioned by his resignation* C h envious and
malevolent Cato ; to come forward in pub
lic, with as much audacity (is an ealtern
monarch would command one (This fubjefls)
and endeaveur to stab the reputation, of an
honest and upright citizen 5 who has for ma
ny years part deferred well of his conftiiu
lucnss ; without the lead shadow or founda
tion of accusation ; with all those opprobrious
insinuations; and adulating afiiraulations,
that could pofßbly fail from the pen of an
Ignoramus, I
Admitting this coilcciicn to have taken
pb:ce 3s above Mated, (which is nothing more
th.-:p the prerogative of every honest arid ci.
vil man) decs it not plainly (hew to the. peo
pls at large, that Mr. Simms is deeply inte
reded for the public welfare, and particular
ly for his former conrtiruents, by getting the
advice of the colledled wisdom ot the ecanty
on this important pc.cafion ? Is it not, I fay,
a clear demonstration, that he does not wilh
such petifogging scribblers as Mr. Cato, or
criy cf his pregenetors in the black art, to
be honoted with his feat, or crowned with
the pofleftien cf Legillative authority ? To
which every enlightened and unbilled citi
zen, will ar.fwej in the affirmative, andap.
piaud such equitable and honorable proceed
irgs. No doubt, but this fainica! prcclai
mcr, would feign with to palm himfelf on
the citizens ol Columbia, as one, m (hnck
} led {tom ,oc al prejudices, cr the enthufiafin
I of party woik.—But, Gentlemen, for your
| ° wn fatisfaftion and ctuiofity, (as mine »
j fufficiently gratified cn this score, trace
1 this canting, whining, hypocrir, a little
fa.thcr in his perambulations ; where he
j fays; “Pb juttice Binicn, timed man is it
1 thus you come forward to claim our confd
-1 ent:t • 100 fearful us your (lender populari
ty you have thrown yourfelf on the arm of

aloof from patty work, you then might have
been entitled to our fuffrages.”— There re
i ntains but a single queftien to he propounded,
i t 0 fhis *onder woiking writer, to make it’
I appear to every enlightened mind, that he
thinks fnmc cxcofe is better that none, and
that he is noshing more, than one of those
f.dfe profits, that have come forward In the

an endeavor if possible, to' raise difeord and
