I find that several tracts have been lately published in England; of which one is3 by mr. Reeves, formerly of the alien-office “to shew that americans born before the Independence are, by the Law of England, not aliens” and “that mr. Jefferson might have the benefit of his american citizenship in perfect compatibility with the claims upon him from British allegiance.”
