capt. Woodward, who is a gentleman of

intelligence and condor, h&sput me in pof feflionof the circumlrance whuh crave nfr

to the rumor of a declaration of war by

r ranee agamlt this country : It occurred in the following way : An American cap'tain, who had been enggrd in fniugling grain oi flour into Frauce, had i;i!l made a

trip, and on his return it was necrffiry to

the nette r concealment of his illegal tt- mc to invent a plaufiblc llory by which he might offer a tole.ramV excufe for the cirCu nilince of his arriving from the French territories into thole of England. He therefore gave ont that Franc e h .'d declared war agiinft the United Sutes, .hat Uo. Iiaparte had imprifontd all :he Americans in FrancefVid that he with fome others hd made his efcape in an open b t. The ftory foon fpread, found its w.y into he linglilh papers, and ws fperdiiy trumpeted acrofs the Atljntii to our Ibores. This f ft may be relief upo i, as captain Woodward htd it from the beft authority. Cpt.
