From the AURORA, of this morning

The extracts published in the AURORA on the 4th instant from a pamphlet entitled "Des interets des puissances continentales relativement a l'Angleterre" are treated in the GAZETTE OF THE UNITED STATES, of last evening, as a forgery. As the sentiments contained in those extracts are unanswerable, it was necessary, to promote the views of the faction, to represent them as an American fabrication. The pamphlet, however, from which the extracts were made, for the information of the unbeliever, may be seen at the Office of the AURORA. Its publication in Paris was not so early in the year 1795, as announced at the head of the extracts which appeared in the AURORA. It was printed before the 21st of September of that year, and the preface is dated 12th Thermidor of the 3d year, July 30th, 1795. The date of it, is not however material in determining upon its merits: What is material is, that it contains opinions respecting the pusillanimous conduct of our administration, written by a subject of one of the most despotic courts of Europe, which ought to call up a blush in the cheek of every public servant in the administration not callous to impartial censure.
