Private accounts from Dunkirk, into which the American was car- ried.tUte that fcvcral of theFrench were killed in the contcft, and fix died of their wounds ftnee their arrival in port. They add, that the three Americans found on board, ?.nd who had taken no part what¬ ever in the re-capture, were, on their arrival at Dunkirk, commit- ted to prifon, and have been fmce tried, condemned, and foot by the French.

The main object of this attack, is to difcredit the talents, both of Mr. Madifon & Mr. Monroe ; and to hold up an opinion, that the Prefident, by appointing Mr. M. who is thought to be friendly towards Great Britain, is feeking to curry favour With the federal party. The piece concludes thus : " By taking in Mr. Monroe, Mr. Madi¬ fon attaches the federal party to him ; avoids competition (as he thinks,) raiies a phalanx of quids and tories ;—prepares the way for farther humiliation to Britain ; and feeiires Ins chief end—his re-eleclipn, His calcula¬ tion may or may not hold good." • It cannot be a matter of furprife that Bo- naparte mould decree again it the life of the dead languages..
