ENVOY LOGAN.
The letter from the above gentleman affords the best comment on the character of those patriots, who are willing to sacrifice the liberties of their country, to the insidious designs of an unprincipled foreign foe—and to barter, in the very face of their countrymen, the honor of their government the security of their most invaluable rights, for the delusive hopes of French justice.
As we cannot permit ourselves to doubt its authenticity, the citizen envoy, with his whole train of French diplomatic paraphernalia, may be hourly expected.
[Brown's Phil. Gaz.]
Very Correct—and not very extraordinary information.
