Norfolk Gazette And Publick Ledger

As we expected, the Baltimore Whig is not at all pleased with Mr. Pinkney's apologist in last week's Intelligencer. He politely styles it an attempt to 'wash the Blackamoor white.' He says Mr. P. might have represented Mr. Madison in London, but he never represented the people of this country. What people does he mean? Why, those who were eternally crying 'havock,' alias, a new toast drinkers on the fourth of July, many of whom were probably ashamed of these very toasts, when they saw them in print. The Whig says, he will not insult gen. Armstrong by comparing him with Mr. Pinkney. But we have not forgotten the Servile letter which Armstrong wrote to Bonaparte, congratulating him on his fortunate escape from a conspiracy, which was notoriously a miserable pretext for murdering the Duke of Enghien, basely seized on a neutral territory. We recollect other pithy stories, but they are well known. It must be no small gratification to Mr. Pinkney to find, that his conduct has received the disapprobation of men 'whose praise is censure, and whose censure praise.' Such are the defenders of Armstrong and Wilkinson.
