The National Intelligencer And Washington Advertiser

It is with pleasure we insert the following extract from the Palladium, a respectable print published at Frankfort, Kentucky, not so much on account of the facts it contains, which are already substantially known to our readers, as on account of the concluding remarks, which, we believe, truly delineate the feelings of the citizens of Kentucky.

Frankfort, March 3.

The following very important information was obligingly communicated to us this morning by the hon. John Brown, who arrived from Washington City on Tuesday evening;—two days before he left the seat of government (which was on the 14th ult.) dispatches had been received from Mr. Livingston, our Ambassador at Paris, in which it is stated, that in consequence of a diplomatic note presented by him on the subject of the late irregular proceeding at New Orleans, he received assurances from the French Minister of foreign affairs, that France would respect the rights of America—that he had received Louisiana from Spain, subject to such stipulations as are contained in our treaties with that power,—and that she wished to cultivate, with the Americans, a spirit of harmony and good will. The French Minister further assured Mr. Livingston, that as soon as the First Consul arrived (who was expected in Paris the next day) an official note, containing these sentiments, should be delivered to him to forward to his government.

No doubt can be entertained of the authenticity of this intelligence, as Mr. Brown received it from the President himself, and has authorized us to make it public. Mr. Jefferson further observed that altho' the re-establishment of things on their former footing, was all we had a right to demand experience had shown it would not be sufficient to ensure the protection of the western commerce, or to restore confidence to the minds of our citizens—the government would therefore make every exertion in its power to obtain one entire side of the river Mississippi.
Of the probable success of such a negotiation, all are at liberty to form their own conjectures—but uncandid must be that mind, and depraved the heart, that could propose to raise the standard of revolt against a government, which has not lost a moment to endeavour to redress the grievances of which we justly complain.
