Dec. 8. France and the Dutch have, with becoming strength and spirit, resisted all transatlantic dealings upon credit—little trust is remaining even in the doating credulity of Old England, and that little is speedily to become less, by the daily increasing failures in American remittances. The shop-keepers, and other unfortunate subjects of this country, are the only persons who suffer by their transactions with our bungling minister. He has been despised and disappointed by the Irish, reviled by the Scots, outwitted by the French, and scorned and insulted by almost every other state in Europe.
