Washing ton city, May q. 'l'lic documents refpectim; our foreign relations recently communicated to control's, prcfent fome gleams ot hope that the two great belligerent powers arc at length a.

bout io awake to a more correct1 perception of their true intcrcft. Our readers will recollect that France has Readily julVified her Berlin decree, as a retaliation for previous violations of neutral right by Great Britain, and that Great Brit ain has as invariably juflified her orders in council as retaliatory of the Berlin decree ; while each government has all along avowed its readinefs to recind its edicts, provided its enemy would in the firft inllance fet the example of revocation. We have not ccafed to protcft againft the weaknefs of this defence by urging that neither belligerent, in retaliation on the other, poflefled the juft power to proltrate the rights of an honed unoffending neutral. But our rcmonllrancc, though unanfwerable has proved unavailing. The letters of general Armdrong and mr. Pinkney to the fecreiary of date, (hew tliat the fincerity of

both governments is likely to be foonputto the tell. France has unequivocally declared her readinefs to recind her Berlin decree, in cafe England p rev ion fly revoke her proclamation blockades of France, and mr., Pinkney has add re fled Lord VVellfley on the fubjet, whofc anfwer may be expedted by John Adams. If fuch blockades do not now ex id, and the Britifh government fliall officially fay

lb, France will be bound in honor to revoke her Berlin decree ; with that decree the pretext for the or

ders in council will be removed,

which as foon as revoked will lead

to the repeal of the Milan decree, thus involving the demolition of

nearly the whole fabric of redricli-

on and violation of neutral commerce. If fuch blockades (of anterior

date to the Berlin decree, dill exifl,

the Britifh government is bound by every dictate of judice, as well as regard for her own plighted word, indantly to withdraw them, when (he is made diftinclly to perceive that they arc the only exiding caufe of the French edicls now in force. If then England either revoke her blockade orders, of date anterior to the Berlin decree, or formally declare that none Inch exifl and France refufes to revoke her Berlin decree, Hie will fland felfcondemned before the world as the violator of neutral rights. If on the other hand England refufes to take this dep. after fo fair an oiler, (he will dand in the attitude of the original aggrellbr : mud he v iewen as an inexorable oppreflbr, who under falfe pretexts, is aiming a

deadly blow at our maritime evidence. In either event we can be at no lofs to decide which government ib to be viewed as mod hoilile to us. FOREIGNERS. From the Kentucky Gazette. Mr. Smith, 1 have been much amufed with the difputes between the American," " Modefhis," and " The Vile Alien," and kl The Reviewers but at the fame time, as a natural born, I rejoice and approve of the attack made on thole aliens. 1 have no notion at all that we

arc to be taught and indruclcd by foreigners ; that fuch fellows as Elfex fhould pretend to take the lead in bookbinding, Paul in done-cutting Beck to teach painting, Medman or Wilkinfon lock and whitefmith's work, that MTean, or Brand, onMiiler, Weir, or Smith, or Monk, fhouid pretend to fuperintend or be partners in hemp or weaving manufactories : Ma!k make machinery, Skidmore (the little iron man) to contnul on the Knobbs ; that Todd, or Jones, or Bordman, or Wrigglefworth, or Lees, or Brown, or Walker, or VVtlliamfon and Williams, fhould prefume to edablifh or a (fill in cotton or woollen manufactories; Ulher to build a theatre and make uinbrcllas, or an Inllone, a M'Aliiiter or a Bithop, appear amongd the benefactors of this (late, a I'razer to regulate our watches and time-pieces, a Whitney and Wilfon, & Challen to furniih our hout. es, Smith as a mill-wright, and Shaw to dig wells. All thofe improvements ought to be left to our own native bom citizens and fuch prefumptious' "cut-throats" have received their deierts. When a famous do&or from New-York f Perkins) imported in

to Britain the ufe of the metallic tractors, and Fulton his torpedoes they were really benefitting that

dupid race ; but as to the introduction into Kedtucky of fuch trail) as I have enumerated, we are not in want of them. Indeed fome foreigners have had the effrontery to pretend to fet us an example how to improve our fences our ilreets, to white-waih our chimnies, this is not to be borne with Indeed the -Reporter of Saturday, lad had the impudence to announce in an article under the Bolton head, that the Merinos, ( vile aliens J will amount to one thousand five hundred and that the domedic incorporated woollen manufactory of Putsfield, (to manufacture the wool of thofe aliens) will be conducted under the able management ot mr. Scolfield, alfilkd by practical workmen from Yorklhire Em-land. -Wurfc and worfe : I fear we ihdl be eat up by tholt fellows. And then the ir wives to

pretend to teach lchool and needlework. I dont mind the American" attacking our foreign politicians, becaufe I am informed by my great fecond third coufin in New-York that there are a great number of BRITISH AGENTS in all our fea-ports wlio are dirring up rebeliionagainll the U. S. intimidating the adminidration cc allying them felves with the tories of the revolution Inch as the American" reprobates to bring our countr under the dominion of the British tyrant. But mr. Smith, I am rambling from my fubjeet ; I am a farmer, and have felt dreadfully alarxJ ior my stock. You mud kukwd tried every kind I tried every kind of breed ; but could not trade profit enough from my native breed even to keep me in mufh, or find petticoats for my family and I bought 'aliens.' My he dock confills of aliens altogether. J

have not the lead objection to knock the u hole breed and body of 4k Vile two legge d aliens," Much as I have enumerated) in the head, and .would readily lend a hand in exterminating them but I am dreadfully afraid that after we have began we fhould not no where to flop, and that fome " American" would be for (laughtering my flck forthey are alfo foreign, and then I am ruined in toto. I imported my he dock from foreign parts It is needlefs for me to advertife my Jack, unlefs . I inform my friends that he was imported from Spain, or Malta, or Algiers, i. My dock of hogs would not be half. fo -profitable did I not fay' they were of the duke of Bedford's breed or their ancedors imported from China. If I ad; twenty five dollars for my cow, I am obliged-to apologize for this price by faying that her lire was an Alien Englishman. Even your brother Worfley, when he. advertifed Crawler and Ham-lin-lonian as his devils, throw it was forced to acknowledge an English pedigree before a fingle fwcet heart coumJ be pro

cured for eher. TIamlintonian or noble Crawler and the fame with Hunt's horfe of horfes, Dragon, and the unequalled Buzzard. Indeed I have heard in my infancy that my grand-mother, when fhe pointed to her breed ofgeefe and turkies, and ducks and chickens, and was defirous of ranking highed in the market price of her truck, always boafled- that Roger the gander, or her turkey gobbler, or Bahtam cocks, or Mufclpvy drakes, were cf the true Englifh breed, imported from Ireland or, Scotland, or other foreign parts. Your's to fervc, A KENTUCKY FARMER. Dr. Franklin being on a vifit at Boflcn when a young man, an experienced friend (Dr. Mather) invited him into his library ; and when returning. Dr. Mather f hewed him a fhorter way out of it through a narrow paHagc which was eroded by a beam about the? height of his hettd. Franklin led the way ; and being dill in difeourfe with the Dr. who followed jud behind he happened to turn his head when the Dr. hadily faid dooo, Hoop ! But F. did not underdand his meaning till the beam feconded his caution by a thump on the head. Dr. Mather always ready on any incident to diffufe indruclion faid to him," you are young and have the world before you flo-jp, ab you go t' rongh it Zc
