FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE . •NEW YORK , Dec . 22 . W HAT was at the time suspected is at length discovered , that the dispute respecting the frontier forts on the Miami River was fomented entirely
by-French Emissaries and their poisoned hirelings in the different States , under the direction of the French Minister Fauchet , which is proved by the correspondence of that Minister ' with Mr . Randolph , our Secretary of State , lately intercepted ., Their plan appears to have been , to irritate the British settlers to act hostilely towards tlie ' m , and then make that hostility a pretence of declaring war . Fortunately for both countries , the British Commander , Major Campbell , was aware of their intentions , and conducted himself , notwithstanding the wanton aggressions
and ill-founded charges of the American General Wayne , and the clamour of the French party , in such a way as to procure an amicable termination to so unpleasant a dispute . Fauchet , upon the discovery of his letters , very prudently made his escape from America . Randolph resigned . The papers insinuate that the French party was strong in Virginia ; but notwithstanding all the intrigues of the French faction to overturn the American Constitution , a very great majority in all the States , among whom were almost all the respectable people , were resolved firmly to support the Constitution . In most of the States resolutions had been
passed , highly applauding the conduct of their venerable President Washington , reprobating the insidious arts which . had been used against him , and approving of the Treaty of Amity and Commerce betwixt Great Britain and the United States , as mutually beneficial to both countries . - In Fauchet ' s dispatches , above alluded to , is the following remarkable passage : — " it appears to me , that these men ( ihe Popular Societies ) with Randolph at their head , were beginning to decide on their party . About two or three days before the Proclamation was- published by the Western States , Mr . Randolph
came to see me with an air of great eagerness , and made to me the overtures , of which I have given you an account in my No . 6 . Tims , with some thousands of dollars , the Republic could have decided on Civil War , or on Peace : thus the consciences of the pretended Patriots of America have already their prices . "
Hague , Jan . 2 . On the 30 th ult . at nine o ' clock at night , the important business concerning the convening of a National Convention was at length definitively ! Settled . It was decided by a majority of three votes , that the National Convention shall be convened on the 18 th of next month . The Provinces of Zealand and Friesland as yet persist in their opposition to this measure ; but we hope they will likewise accede to it , as the preservation of the union of the Dutch Republic depends on their consenting to it . It is now decided , that at the future National Convention the Provinces are to
resign their territorial sovereignty ; but to retain their names , the regulation of their finances , and every branch of administration which concerns the interior government of the Provinces .. They are not allowed to send Representatives to the Convention , as this is entirely to be composed of Representatives ofthe People , the National Representation being founded on the numbers of people inhabiting a . district , and not on the extent of the Province ; by which means the Province of Holland will send as many Representatives to the Convention as all the other Provinces together .
