ALBANY November 21.
Highly to be commended is that excellent and solemn warning of President Adams, to the people of the United States, to "avoid foreign influence, that destroying angel of republics."
The last accounts from the French regenerated Batavian republic shew to what a degrading situation such an influence has reduced that once independent people. In such dread do they feel themselves on account of their allies, the French, that on the late rejection of the constitution which had been proposed to them, the Batavian convention voted an address to the French, begging not to be condemned hastily for the step they had taken.
