A letter from Cambridge, M<L, to the Baltlmon Sun has tbe following: In a box, bidden away li the cellar connected wltn one of tbe oldest bouse: la Cambridge, Md., once tbe property of tbe Mur ray family, and now belonging to CoL Clement Sul llvane, whose mother is a Murray, has been founC a record, contained in four manu9Clpt Tolumes, embracing a correspondence between we Vans Murray, American minister resident and envoy extra ordinary to the Netherlands, and Gen. Washington and Alexander Hamilton. These letters were written after the battle ol Marengo bad made Napoleon the arbiter of Europe, and tbey extend from the year 17W to the yeai 1799. At that time the career of the French republic was a matter of absorbing political interest, and party lines in tbis country were drawn by sympathy with Prance or England. Gen. Lafayette had announced his wish and intention to revisit America, but, while publicly favoring this proposed visit, Washington and Hamilton, fearing tbe tendencies of Jefferson, then a prominent candidate for tbe Presidency, and the probability that Lafayette would do all he could to secure his election, were strongly opposed to Lafayette's visit. To prevent the consummation of such design they opened and earned on a correspondence with wis. Vans Murray, the American envoy to the Netherlands, who also informally represented our country with reference to Prance. They urged that every obstacle should be interposed to his coming and every possible expedient be adopted. This correspondence gives a history of this remarkable Intrigue, for as such it must be characterized. It embraces tbe letters written in connection therewith. The devout and sincere patriotism of Washington was unquestionably the motive that influenced his conduct. These letters are copied In four volumes, and tbe writing Is close, neat, and perfectly preserved. CoL Sulivane, to whom they belong, presented them to the librarian of Congress to be valued. On bis recommendation a Joint oouunlttee has been appointed by congress to consider tbe propriety of purchasing them. This committee has recommended that $5,000 be appropriated for their purchase. On one of tbe pages is a genuine, original autograph of Napoleon the Great.
