COMMUNICATIONS.

Notwithstanding the doubts which have perplexed the minds of some of the best men in our country, respecting the conduct of Mr. Gerry while at Paris, we can assure our readers, from pretty direct authority, that Mr. G's conversation is such as to comfort the heart of every genuine federalist. It is said that he declares in the most unequivocal terms, that every thing depends on the union of the people in supporting the energetic measures of President Adams. In short the whole tenor of his conversation is staunchly federal, so that the Jacobins, who had marked him for their own, are again disappointed. Their prophecies concerning him, are like all the rest of their prophecies. If Mr. G's popularity has been impaired, it is a matter of no great wonder ; for so long as he was considered the favorite of the French and the chosen one of the Directory, how could it be otherwise ? It is probable that Mr. G. had a more favorable idea of the French and their cause, than his colleagues, but he has been long enough among them to see them as they really are ; and now like a true patriot and honest man, he utters his sentiments without reserve ; and with joy be it spoken, they are the very same which have pervaded every state in the union, as expressed in the numerous addresses to thePresident ; they breathe a devotedness to the exclusive cause of his native country, a zeal for supporting with one voice, the constituted authorities, and, a determined resolution to resist the destroying angel of foreign influence.

Mr. Gerry has, we learn, given the President of the United States, ample documents of the whole course of his proceedings in France; and, we are told, when the American public are put in possession of all the facts respecting the negociation, they will display such a scene of arrogant demands, insidious overture, canting meanness, and hypocritical whining. as will confirm every American in everlasting hatred of French measures, and Frenchmen. TALLEYRAND, now appears an angel of light, to what he then will.

The embargo on American vessels in France, is enforced with great severity ; and our sailors are imprisoned. Retaliation on Frenchmen in the United States, ought immediately to be adopted.

Accounts from the West-Indies, still continue confirmatory of the assertion, that in case of a declaration of war between France and the United States, the French islands will declare themselves independent of the mother country.
