The conduct of those Editors who have designedly perverted the state of facts in regard to the transactions of the British Ambassador relative to certain of the patriots who had made treasonable proposals to him, cannot be reprobated in language too severe. We publish this day an authentic copy of every thing that has yet passed on the subject. We shall offer no comments.

Our readers cannot fail to observe a most striking and honorable contrast when comparing the transactions of the British Minister and Government with the conduct of another nation and its minister on a former occasion.
