THE STORY OF THE TWO MILLIONS OF BRIBE TO BONAPARTE COMPLETELY REFUTED AN ABOMINABLE LIE. DETECTED AND EXPOSED BY OFFICIAL DOCUMENT But Their LIARS WILL NEITHER FEEL NOR ACKNOWLEDGE CONVICTION. ON THE CONTRARY WE EXPECT THEIR HARDIHOOD VILLAINY WILL SET EVEN THIS. AMONG EVIDENCE AT DEFIANCE AND THAT IN SPITE OF THE INJUNCTIONS OF RELIGION, THE DICTATES OF HONOR and THE VOICE OF CONSCIENCE, THEY WILL STILL CONTINUE TO WAL- LOW IN THE FILTH OF FALSEHOOD AND THE MIRE OF INFAMY. Read the Documents below, fellow citizens, and check not the impulse of honest hearts in execrat- ing the calumniators who, to answer the sinister purposes of faction, are willing not only to deceive and be- tray you—but are desperate enough to risk the perdition of their own Souls.

Albany Register In our last, we published a letter from the Comptroller of the Treasury of the U. S. on the subject of the 2,000,000 dollars. said by the fede- ralists to have been sent to France, in "sixty tons of precious silver." The following letters are on the same subject. If there is any modesty among any of the federalists, they must blush at the depravity of their more hardy brethren. [Reg.

LETTER FROM THE SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY.

TREASURY DEPARTMENT.

SIR, Sept. 14, 1808.

I had the honor to receive your let- ter of the 22d August, requesting me to know whether any part of the two millions of dollars appropriated by the act of the 13th of February, 1806, for defraying any extraordinary ex- pense attending the intercourse with foreign nations, had been drawn from the Treasury—and, if thus drawn, to what purpose the money had been ap- plied? Official documents, already published by order of Congress sufficiently shew that not a single cent of that money has ever been expended. The appropriation was made to enable the President to acquire Florida by trea- ty. Messrs Armstrong and Bowdoin, who were entrusted with the negotia- tion were accordingly authorised, if they should succeed in making the purchase, to draw for one million of dollars on the bankers of the United States at Amsterdam, and for one million on the Treasury, as was stat- ed to Congress in the annual report on Finances for December, 1806. The negociation did not succeed: Florida has not been purchased; those gentle- men never drew for any part of the money;—and the funds thus placed in the hands of the bankers at Am- sterdam, part of which, would have been applied to the purchase, if it had taken place, have, according to their original destination, been applied sole- ly to the payment of the Dutch debt; as appears by the annual report of the commissioners of the sinking fund of February, 1808. The evidence of these facts being scattered amongst voluminous docu- ments of no very general circulation, I enclose a certificate from the Regi- ster of the Treasury,which will remove any doubt on that subject. I have the honor to be, with consideration, Sir, Your ob't serv't, ALBERT GALLATIN. David Thomas, Esq. Treasurer of the State of New York, Albany.

TREASURY DEPARTMENT Register's Office 9th Sept. 1808.

S.—and that the whole appropriation remains full and entire in the said sum of Two Millions of Dollars. and will be passed in the Treasury Books to the credit of the surplus fund on the 31st December next, pursuant to the 16th section of the act passed on the 3d March, 1795, provided no part thereof shall hereafter be drawn from the Treasury before the end of the present year.
