TO T. PICKERING, SECRETARY OF STATE.
Quincy, 15 October, 1798.
I have received yours of the 6th, and thank you for the intelligence from the southward.
The effervescence at Madrid, as well as the news from Naples, coincides with Mr. King’s letter; and the news from Trieste confirms or rather favors the account that Bonaparte’s destination was the Adriatic, not Egypt; but we must wait for further éclaircissements.
Mr. Sullivan’s letter gives me apprehension that our friend Benson has been stretching himself, in order to be perfectly upright, until he has bent backwards. But, according to the law and to the testimony, we must submit to the decision; but the very map they have made is a demonstration to me that our claim is just.
