The Enquirer

The following article is from the London Courier, the highest toned ministerial print in Great Britain. While "the party" in America are abusing General Armstrong, and striving by every means in their power to ruin his public and private character the chiefs, "at home," are complimenting him for the manly manner in which he has acted!—Balt. Even. Post.

"We have inserted to day the remainder of the State Papers published by the American government after the arrival of the John Adams. We know not how far the admirable letter of gen. Armstrong to the Duke of Cadore may be acceptable to his Government—It certainly speaks a language different from any which the American diplomatic documents have spoken to France before. It puts the case strongly between the conduct of G. B. to America, and France to America. "Surely" says he, "if it be the duty of the U. S. to resist the theoretic usurpations of the British orders of Nov. 1807 it cannot be less their duty to complain of the daily and practical outrages on the part of France." Its facts and reasoning are unanswerable, and accordingly we find M. de Cadore passing it over sub silentio—and sheltering himself in his next note under the excuse that the love of Bonaparte had put to flight all thoughts of business."
