The gradual and ' continued depieffion of the French funds u a tolerable Itrong confirmation of what we have itated relative to the inability of the French Government long to conti¬ nue the payment of the contributions at the rate itipulated by the tieaty. Hi¬ therto, we believe, they have been very Tegulaily paid up ; but the new budget, in providing far their future payment, relied upon a loan ; and we know that that reliance has entirely failed, as far as refpeftP the Englilh capitalilts.

This alarms me very much—a fmall ditch cut thro*! would fonn wear down to the bottom of' the channel atrwe Fort Erie, and turn all the waters of the upper Lakes into the atlantie ocean, by the Sufquehannah, Delaware or Hudlon's Rivers, and leave us all diy This would be (tarving us for the want of water ! Pray look at the confeqbencesj and eonfider what Jona¬ than is about—they could not- fight us, now they mean to llarve us for the want of water. NeceffiTy U the mother of invention. — Mow 1 will tell you what you mull write to John bull : tell him that for one half the fum that the Americans cal¬ culate it will cod to take the waters of the upper Lakes into the Hudfon, 1 will bring the waters of Lake Huron in¬ to -Luke Ontario. That would put Jonathan's pipe out altogether, for in- llead of his dvy»n8 Lake Ontario, I will dry Lake Erie, which would make a Jargc meadow* And this is the way that I wo lid do it : 1 would dig a ca¬ nal from Holland River into the River Don, or Hu.nber ; then I would dam up the 'unlet, and ihat would foon wear down to the bed of Lake Ontario, and leave Lake Sarncoe dry. Here I would catch fifli enough to fupply all my men with provifions. Then 1 would cut a canal fiom Nottawafaga into weft bay La^e Simeoe ; the land being fandy and clay, it would wear down to the bed of L"ak Ontario hi a (hort time. Then I would dilhand my men, and give each one of them a cleared up farm on the beds of Lake Simcoe, Lake Erie and Lake St Clair. Thefe lands having no timber, the gentlemen at Yoik would find a fine market for lh('ir wood lots round all Ithofe Lakes, ar.d Jonathan would never 'trv to pick a quarrel with us any mare. But before 1 do this, you mull tell John Bull to make the Magillrates do their duty, and let monuments of (tone, or diher'durable materials, round the Hold line through Lake Erie and the Narrows on Detroit, L?-kefc St. Clair and Huron, as fettled in 1783, otherwife Jonathan might claim the new line of St. Lawrence, and take all the Peach Or¬ chards in Upper Canada; for you know Jonathan is full tricks, therefore it be¬ hooves John Bull to look out in time.
