Your words rcfcxnMc the words my fore

cc'iorr, from chief to thief, were always
well pleased with the French ; they were
well received and well treated by them
when they met to hold talks together, and
we can new fay the fame of you out new
friends.
If your nation h?s pwrchhfcd what the
French formerly potidied, you have purcha
sed the country that we occupy, and we be

we regard you in the fame light as we did
them. You tequeft that our wars in future
may he again!) the deer only, that is what

onr hands shall never lie flamed with white
men’s blood. Your words which 1 have
this day heard, (hall be imprinted on my
heart ; th y lhall imer he forgotten, but

I think I have now but one enemy (the

RESOLUTIONS
Os a number of the inhabitants of

Firmly attached t* the Constitution of the

of certain charaflets, it was resolved at a

that may be attempted by insurgents inimi

FRENCH NAVAL EXPEDITIONS .
We have received information here that a
French squadron w hich suddenly appeared in
the Greenland Teas, has dettroyed on those
fhoi es a great number of whales. This in.
tcliigcncc is certain, as it comes from Ber
gen, where two vellcls arrived which had
been taken by the French and frcleafed, with
part of the crews of the captured ships, A
mong the number of prizes taken by the
French squadron, off Greenland, are tg of
the bed laden whalers. 1 hey were furpri
zed to the cast of Greenland, by the very
unfortunate arrival of the French, who ha
ving taken all they wiflud to foize, funk
thole they did not with takeaway to the
wtftward, and entered Davis* straights at
the moment when several whaler* complete
ly laden, were commencing their homeward
voyage. There is, therefore, no doubt that
they again made rich and numerous captures,
and caufod confiderahle damage to the Eng!
Jiih. The bf* occasioned by this uuforfeen
blow' to the Englith commerce at Greenland
alone, is valued here at from 1,500,000 to
2,000,000 rix dollars, that is to fay, 8 or

We very much doubt the veracity of a re

a day or two ago, and which is the topic of
general convention, The particulars, as
we can learn, are, that crying to some ac
counts from the Weftern country, which im
plicate Burr and Wilkinson of being at
the head of a party whole plans were fatt ri
pening for tha purpose of separating the states
a council was held at Waftilngton, at which
it was agreed to have them immediately at
reded ; lor which purpose an order was dis
patched to the Marihal of the diftriCi, with
full powers to callout the militia, if anyop
pofition was made.

PRINTED IN FRANKFORT, (KEN.)
The people of Kentucky have seen pub
lilhed from the Ohio Gazette, which has its
origin and stand at Marietta, and which is
fuppufed to be under the influence of Colonel
Burr, a paper in which the idea of disunion
by the Alleghany Mountains, is openly a
vowed, and publicly advocated. The man
who is held up in the front, and, at the head
of this new plan of difmcmbcrlng the union
of the states, is now among us. While his
secret and myftcrous movements Indicate the
management, and combination of some plan
of operations, which will not bear the public
view and examination, it is announced as a
fori and doubtless is true, that a number of
gun. boats, and a fehooner of a lingular con-
Itruriion, are preparing for this man, cn the
Ohio river. These can Lut be confideied as
pieparations for some military expedition.

** The United States, by a policy foreign
to the old world, purchase countries which
they might conquer, preserve a sentiment of
gratitude for the French nation, and feebly
revenge the frdhoutrages of England. Yet
their territory increases, their population ad
vances, their revenues are more prosperous,
and their growing navy dictates laws upon
the coast of Batbary. England alone, dreads
the prosperity of America, and feeros to feel
that greater glory awaits the Americans up

to rcfuits different from those which seem to
