npHE above work comprises the most
* important period of our revolutionary
war j and, after a lapse of thirty years, de
tail wlita accuracy and force those decisive
events which so gloriously led to its happy
termination. The form of the work hue
enabled the authour to entet into a more
minute narrative than is admissible in gene
ral history, and to bring into view a greater
number of meritorious actions, who, though
in subordinate stations, aeal,
fidelity and skill, which, Wgpt tonsver to
embalm theft 1 nates id the memory of a
A-ew and grateful peeile. Throughout,
candour and impartiality are displayed;
giving praise where duvA-<iot withholding
censure where required. -The style is
Clear and comprehensive, and the narrative
interspersed whir interesting anecdotes, and
morel; political and military reflections,
naturally springing from and appositely
combined with the subject.
On the Whole, the Editor does not hesi
tate to say, that the Patriot will be delight
ed, the Statesman informed, and the Sol
dier instructed, by the perusal of thia wot h,
which in every part bears the ingenuous
stamp of a Patriot Soldier, and cannot fail
»o interest all who desire to understand the
ch uses, and to know the difficulties of our
memorable struggle. The focts may be
relied on “ all of which he saw, and part
of which he was."

Im the kiminoos moments of passion and soul,
When, like the bright sun-beam that mel
lows the sky,
, The tremulous thrillings of transport Have stole
O’ea my bosom, and hallow’d each thought
with a sigli! t
Thief the goldtn-hued regions of fancy I’ve
stray’d,
For the loveliest being its mirror could
ahuwi
With a smile to enrapture-** voice to per
' suede—
With a spirit as pure as her ruby lip’s dew;
For a nymph who was aH that was gentle and
* kind,
Whose form of most exquisite beauty and
grace,
Was a casket to shrine the rich gem of her
mind;
Was a temple resplendent with purity’s trace.
But when, in this mystical trance, was resign’d
All below, for the fairy throng’d climes ofthe
air I
And the sensitive eye of my tranqu’diz’d mind
Was hung with fond fam on this paragon
there—
I have sadden’d to think that I nh’er could be
* blest,
In the world’s mazy range, with a women so
\ dearj
Who was aU that an angel above had caressed-**
Who was more than a mortal had languish
ed for hare j
And hare said, as I glanc’d on the earth far
behind.
Ah why should his magical witchery Mould
Sueh perfradons as nafur* has never design’d.
For the ignoble hp of creation to hold ? •
Oh! I then little thought that such graces di
vine
.E’er would beam on toy view when the vi
sion should fade—
No form that to mortal, I mid, cxn enshrine,
Such a soul as the dreams of rty fimCy have
made.
But thou art the twin of that image I wove,
In those luminous moments of feeling and
fire—
For, in goodness, thou’rt all Mich an angel
can love,
And in beauty, all ffutn can to dost on desire.

Letters upon French Influence.
No. Vll.
To the Ptont the Unisn Senfts.
It was originally intended, by the wri
ter of these papers, to •* unfold the history,**
as well as to “ display the character,'* of
French Influence upon the affairs of the
United States. •This Wa* precisely the
pledge which he gave to the Publick.. It
was bis object to examine in succession the
various viands and different dishes of the
great political entertainment which France
has given to the United Spates—od ovo
ad mala— from the egg to the apple
of Thomas Jeffterson’s noble feast of Em
bat%o. But there is a certain impatience
and ardpur in the publick mind which the
writer must suffer \.O influence his conduct, <
though he will not suffer them to govern it.
As a publick writer, he knows bis rights,
and will maintain them with a firm and
proud independence. The Publick have
theit fights -also. They may manifest im
patience, they may exercise all the power*
of criticism, tliey may read or not read as
they please. But here they must stop. The
writer will listen to advice, but he will
repel dictation. Some appear to require
volume* in a moment upon a subject which
has required the reflection of year* in
mere!) deciding upon the proper mode to
be pursued, and every step in the progress
of which. In hl* own poor judgement, de
mand* great deliberalion and great cau-.
cion. Such shall be disappointed. Such
an ALL wot be obeyed. The authouf will,
in thi* ca*e, be governed by one of the few
Jeffersonian maxims upon which he now
•et* any value, and will “ manage hi* own
affair* in hi* own way.** The cool judge
ment of the pubiick, however, will be
greatly retpokted. in deference to it, we
now exhibit new, extraordinary, and most
intereating Information, to the American

Descending, then, at once, to the memo

(pbblick) message of* the f resident, Lfer
son, at the commencement of that sr*s(M
It indicated, In terms the must unequivocal;
that the United States were on the eve ot
war with Spain. Speaking of the injurieb
received from that powkr, the messagt
said, “Some of them are of a nature t<> M
met by force only, and all of them may .
lead to it. I cannot therefore but recom
mend such preparations as circdtmtaßceb
csll for.” The message, Indeed, abounded
in that ambiguity of expression, aed-M that
generalisation of censnito npne “iwy beK
ligerent,** for which the Intninoub mind ot
that remarkable man was distinguished.
Spam was particularly complained «iA—the
general censure upon “the belligerents,** *
was evidently meant for Qreat-Brjtain—
but nothing was said nf*France. Mh’M
this—wox one crord </Framck I Yrt the '
President had in his possession documenta
from General Armstrong, annouucmg to
him, ill the most perfect of all official
forms, that as it respected the difficulties
which appeared to exist between the Ame
rican and Spanish governments, thtrfl
was in fact, as Mr. Rmdtdph soon aftrt
said in the House of Representatives, “ no
Spain.” Spelling of Spain, among other
matters, the President sdid, “.Pi opositifini

Loofoimia huvy nix been acceded to.” M
* private mrssHge soon after, he said, “ft
is thejwiicy of Spain tu reserve heroelf fdt* •
events.” Yet this arcbdeceiver knew, that
the reason why the bound arise of Louistaud
could not be adjusted with Spurn was mart
France would not suffer Sputa to adjust
them with the United States upon any term!
whatever! And he wasguihy ofthe must
unprincipled conduct in telling Congress,
(this be would not say to the American Peo
ple and tho world,) that Jt Was ths policy of t
Spain to reserve iureelf for tvenls, wiien
bis agents abroad bad informed him that
it was the policy of Fraade to reserve
opsin for events! (The pubhek mesaage

the only mail on earth of whom the writer
is at ibis time disposed to speak with

the truth of the assertion, for no private or
personal rasson, well knew that from tho
very origin of the negotiations in refeisuco
to the purchsce so well as boundsrfos of
Louisiana, the government of Spain was
suffered to take no step whatever without
applying for the commands of France, and
was in the constant habit, at every stage of
the business of sending to know whet (ha>e
commands were, facts which wMi not Mi
denied by either of our Ministers who have
been concerned in those negotiations, er 6y
their private Secretaries. And yet tnis
Man of the People—this President of the
“ good old United States”—told Congress,
in the private mesaage, “We have reason
to believe that she (France) was disposed A
to effect a settlement (between the United 9
States and Spain) on a plan analogous u>
what our Ministers propoabd.” What A
