I have juft been upon a three months tone in the United States of America. As it was for the firll time I sifted this pre'ended land of liberty and libe rality, I knew it only from the detctiption which I had read, and was of courfe mitch prejudiced in its favour. Being acctifinmed to the civil behavinur, even among the lower claffes of my own country Men, the Canadians, the aft WA (truck me in the United States, were the uncommon brutality or rudenefs I experienced in converting with its citizens, from the governors and magifirates, down to the lowell me chanics, or the moll petty farmers; except in the large towns, even the fait fez teemed to want that fishnets of temper, delicacy• of expreffions, and gen tlenefs of behaviour, which, in pleating, commancli retpeft, and excites admiration. Every where I nb ferved felfdlinets and avarice the predominant paffions of one lex, and want of education and hypoctify the faults of the other ; the men only calculating how to accumulate. and the aornen only findying. not how to pleafe, but how to rule, to be applauded as poli tical (+facies, or revered as religious faints. The po litical, as well as the religious fanaticifm prevails in all the provinces of the United Stales, where leas and parties are equally intolerant ; there being hardly an example of a Federalift, or anti-Federalift, of a Prefbyterian, or a Church of England man, sitting, much lets permitting their families to intermarry.— They are as much at variance as a Bonaparte and a Louis XVIII. and more fo than Pius VII. and the Archbifhep of Canterbury. The prefent Prefident, Is FY teams, does not by his conduft evince or infpire more liberal fentiments. He declares as openly his partiality for France now, when it is enslaved by NA rostoo the FOIL as he did ten years ago. when Roassetteaa the Viva was her tyrant. All his fer : . yantsare Frotchrnetvand his molt familiar affociates and friends are of the fame nation. He prides him felf, however, upon the appellation of a friend pf univerfal liberty, of religious toleration, and of pih lanthropy. Moll of the perfons appointed to offices by him are as great Gallo-men as himfelf, and do every thing in tiyir power to humiliate, to harafs, and to perfecute their oppofers. They are to much the more obllinate in their vengeance, as, with few exceptions, they are, generally very ignorant, con founding their own narrow and kWh notions with the rights of their offices and the laws of their coun try. To travel, therefore, in a Republic governed by fuels chiefs, and inhabited by fitch a people, cannot but be very difagreeable to a foreigner of a benevolent difpnfition, of an independent fortune, and of generous principles. When this mull be the cafe, what have not thnfe unfortunate emigrants from England, Scotland, and Ireland to coffer, who land in the American Republic, as indebted vagabonds, and whole fief alts in this land of liberty are to fell their perfons to pay their paffages ; to prefent them fclves before upltart, and of condi infolent magi frates. to fubmit to fetters, and a transfer to oppref five matters, who often treat them worfc than their beafts of burden, and to whom the negrocs on our Well India plantations are comparatively free men. The numerous examples of mile, y and detpair which I have witneffed among .theft emigrant Britith rub efts, pierce my very heart. I have teen , on their landing, hufbands and wives difpofed of to different proprietors, and their children to others. Their prayers and lamentations to remain together avail ' nothing. They fepat ate, not feldnm, never to meet again, or if to meet, to bewail their thame nr fol 4, their difhonour or ruin. I heard'many Chocking atm ' ' dotes hardly credible in civilifed Europe, where the liberty and happinefs of the American citizens are fo often the topics of the prailes of the dircontented, of the envy of the difaffefted, and of the detire of the milled. I have heard of families and of indivi duals; who fisteen years ago fold their liberty for five years, and who continue fill, and probably for life, in bondage, their cruel matters taking advan tage to keep them in debt. either by giving them stifling fumy to fupport licknefs, want. or extrava gance. I have heats' of others, who, in defpair, for filch a worfe treatment, and not teeing an end to their (Offerings, have committed the mo't tertible fiticides, dcflrol ing at the fame time tbemf.:l.tes, their wives, and children, Others have tun away, been taken, flogged, nod winked in chains during the day; add are (hut tip in chains dining the night, as the moll culpable of criminals. Famine, befides, often forces them to comet petty thefts, and when ditcovered. to avoid publicity or chi:honour,- or to efcapt pundit ment, fubfcribe new bonds of flavery, and, for the value of a dollar, condemn themfelses to hard labour for years. They are univcrfally defpifed as ontcafts of fociety, having renounced their privileges of Ari ta filbjefls without obtainime.she tights of American cithecns. A hritiih Minister cannot liken to their complaints and relieve their trilety, regarded by the Ametican laws as the con:cquence of their vaterstary tenimcirtion of their freedom. How very different is Cie fit nation of thote emigrants who land in Ca• mid I, or in Nova Scotia. If they have a paffage to pay f. r, they work for it as creditors, r, tt as nAlreS, bring r , MC:led by the fame paternal government which sults the m ither country ; and, as hands are fearce, and labour dear, a tort time clears them horn debts, and, if fober and in luittioits, hut few years ate requisite in be quietly and comfortal.ly fet tled. 01 two hundred and fifty Scotch ernigrams, landed fifteen months ago at Quebec, molt are now cultivating lands o I theii own ; or retying mallets of their own choice ; not one has died ; abust in the United States it is generally calculated, that of Eu ropean emigrants, twenty in a hundred die within ta els 4. months af‘er their landing on the American ittinent„ either from hardships or by broken heart•, cottle , plence rat irictnediable difappointment.

However, as the war between Eng. land and France has been the caufe of that likely to take place between the latter and Rista, it is unfor tunately too paffible that the flames may extend even on the Continent: our Court, therefore, is taking meafures of precaution, being perfuaded that a re fpdtable fstuatinn is the bell means of prefery ing peace.
