The following actual revelation of fe- v
crets, is contained ;na letter from Mr. Sand,
ford, ore of the Federal Tvcprcfentativcs from
j Kentucky, to his friend in Frankfort, dated
j January r 6, and is publrfhed in the PJladi
um. It ccr*a;nly contain:! very interesting
intorm.'it'cn ; and although it would have
furnished much more plausible greand cf
clamor than any thing communicated by a
Souihern'Senator to a Federal House in Pe
ter iVwg, yet we cannot fee any great im
propriety in making a com rr.nr: cation of this
kind, under the refervatirnj hcreobferved,
“ A motion was made in our hoefe to
clpfe the doors on 3 confi Irntial mclfagf of
the Prifi Vnt on the 3d. inO. from which
time until the prefect hour, vve have hum
in conclave. A bill has pa fled 'his moment,
and is ordered, to the Senate, with a request
t!j tt they conddcr the t 3 ror. fidf,nt;al
ore. The Hunting cf our dcor.s for so great
a length of time, has given rife, I atn in
formed, to various reports as to the ebjefla
of the nation; nor can it be wondered at,
j a» a rime .when ff>.ir.y of o$ expefi, from the
) tenor of '.he President's mefljgc, that tha
nation may be involved in war.
“ I prtTume it will not be cxpscled that
I shall detail the meafureson which we have
been occupied ; fufHce it to fay, that our
confidential' fit! mgs hne lad an entire
relation to our affairs with Spain; and (hit
I hope the measures which have proceeded
from those private legifUuvc proceedings,
will fccure to the nation not only peace at
this inferefting moment, but will place ni
in such a situation as will relieve us in future
1 from just ground of misunderstanding with
the Government of his Catholic Majesty,
lt Daring the debates which have p.'ffed
in conclave, I think I may confidently fay,
that we shall disagree ta a report of a com
mittee of our house, made feme time ago,
in saver of building fix 74 gun fhipsi I have
now every reason to helieye that there is a
majority of our hnufe determined topreferve
prrrre wnn every TTuropcan nation with
w-hom wc have commercial relations. The
fucccfus of the French on the continent,
and the almost total annihilation of the
combined fleets at sea, further juftify such a
belief.**
