A second
division of a Spanish fleet will put to sea soon. Its destination
not declared. Sweden is arming to a greater extent than was at first
supposed. From twelve so sixteen sail of the line are spoken of, on good
grounds, Denmark, for her own security, must arm in proportion to this.

LETTER CXXXVII.--TO JOHN BROWN, May 26,1788
TO JOHN BROWN.
Paris, May 26,1788.
Dear Sir,
It was with great pleasure I saw your name on the roll of Delegates, but
I did not know you had actually come onto New-York, till Mr. Paradise
informed me of it. Your removal from Carolina to Kentucky was not an
indifferent event to me. I wish to see that country in the hands of
people well disposed, who know the value of the connection between that
and the maritime States, and who wish to cultivate it. I consider their
happiness as bound up together, and that every measure should be taken,
which may draw the bands of union tighter. It will be an efficacious one
to receive them into Congress, as I perceive they are about to desire
to this be added an honest and disinterested conduct in Congress, as
to every thing relating to them, we may hope for a perfect harmony.
