in the gayest circles I have oftca said,
”of langtner, it Is mad; and of

while J hav« been reading the blessed

you than you had to weep for me, because
I was not in your company the last even
ing. Whatever professions and appear
ances of h< ppi news I have formerly ex-
hibited, 1 now seriously inform you, that
turn, I shall have more reason to weep for
reason to bless God forever. I assure you,
Orford, that unless you take a similar
for which I am persuaded J shall have
lander, that I have lately become ac
quainted with such subjects as I once
thought would render a persod bigotted
and morose. But, Orford, you need not
fear that my sentiments and conduct are
so changed as to render me glo-,tny and
unhappy. I know the amonnt of all the
enjayments which you and I and uur
youthful companions have been pursuing
for many years. I am well able judge
what is lost and what is gained by such a
urn as I have taken. It is indeed a turn
true. But I fear you arc falling into the
very bigotry and morosentss that you once
abhorred, and that contract the human
mind, and render a person and ail his
connexions unhappy. 1 rejoice, said Fhi
Aly dear Philander, said Orford, as he
found this youthful and beloved companion
walking in a retired grove—] hope that
what I have lately heard of you is not true.
I should be very sorry, replied Philnndci,
that my Oi ford should hear any thing of mt
that should trouble his mind. But whethei
what you have heard of me be true, 1 can
nut tell, until I know what it is. ] would
readily inform you, said Orford.it 1 thougi.t
you wouid not be offended with me, not
angry with our friends who gave me the
information. Have I often been offended
with you? said Philander, or have yoi.
known me to be angry with out friends ?
Mo, indeed, said Ui foid—you have been
a cheerful and pleasant companion. Bui
when a person takes such a turn, no oik
can guess what wiiLbd offensive, or what
will be pleasing.-Whut turn, Wurd, du
you suppose I have taken ? 1 hope, san.
Oiford, it is not true; bu| from what 1
beard, 1 supposed you would not4peuk to
me, and th«it you would sfidb me it 1 catm
near you. Are you not happy, said Phi
lander, that your supposition was errone
ous, and that 1 neither suun you, nor re
fute to converse with you ? I am indted,
Philander, and 1 hope you will soon aftbtti
us the pleasure of your company and con
versation tn the citcles of your youthful
companions, There Were many tears
sited for you last evening, Philander, when
Amanda informed us that you was nearly
deranged, and that you had sjintran se
verely against balls and parties df inno
cetu diversion and the gentesl entertain
ruenta ot the Theatre, bhe was quits
amazed when we were told that you whol
ly condemned, yourself for reading such
books as once gave you the greatest plea
sure, and that you sometimes spent half
the night in reading the Bible, and such
gloomy books.—l am sorry, dear Oiftyrd,
that so many of my companions should
shed tears for me at the very time I was
enjoying the happiest moments of my life.
I wonder, Philander, what you can meat
by happiness, since you have deserted
those companions who once gave you the
highest delight, and those pursuits and di
versions in which your former companion
are still engaged with the greatest avidity.
When I first saw your countenance to-day,
you appeared so miid and pleasant, that

While the American people are smart
ing io silent anguish under the* merciless
scourge of France, While their government,
when it dares to complain of the tumultu
ous language in which the mandates of a
master are Conveyed, directs those com
plaints to be uttered in such manner as
/’to avoid a style of procedure, which
might co-operate with the policy of th;
British government by stimulating the pas
sions of the Franch,” while every national |
sentiment which subh coodiftt and such I
language would etcite in the besoms of
men j iytl* appreciating the dignity .of ii#
dependen(e| > artfully stifled under a
load of accusation agvnsf that power I
I .
I , •
It does neither. Its language is unex
ceptionably decorous. It promises a com
j pliance with Che request to recall Mr.
J >ckbon, and asks nothing from our gov
ernment. Why then should this letter
draw from the organ through which the
administration is supposed to speak to the
people, this acrimohious invective against
a nation, whose downfall drags with it the
downfall of human liberty ?
Lei the National Intelligencer tell tut,
•• Instead of a prompt retail of Alt. Jack
son, we are met, he says wUh an assu
rance that his M ijesty been pleased to
direct the return of that minister to Eng
land.
We tave already seen with what a
j imidiced eye the editor of the National In
telligencer contemplates the lapse of time
between the delivery of Mr. Pinkney's let
ter and the reception of a written answer.
Nat less of gull is displayed in his com
ments da that answer.
On the encomiurh bestowed on Mr. Pink
i net 's letter, it is Uiwfecessafy to make a
further rertiark than to say that had the
Marquis of Wellesley followed the exam
ple which was given him, and commented
minutely on the conduct of the American
government in a letter equally “ rem.irka
ble for its candour,” its ” forbeatance”
“ and the dignified moderation of its lan
guage,” it would soon have appeared, that
this course of crimination and recrimina
tion tnust be abandoried by thgt party,
which did not wish It fd terminate in an
open rupture.
The object of these remarks, however,
is not to criticise the letter of Mt. Pink
ney, but to show the unceasing assiduity
with which the chiefs of that party, which
lii» so long and so fa tally governed the
(jhited States, labour to deceive the peo
ple respecting our relations with France
|md England—a deception the more to be
deprecated as it puts in serious hazard the
independence of their country.
The reply of the Marquis of Wellesley,
we are told, “is totally incompatible with
the amicable dispositions sb lavishly pro
fessed.” a
And why is it incompatible with those
dispositions? Does it express hostility, or
foes it require from the United States any
thing inconsistent wHh their interest or
their honour ?
I see, Philander, said Orford, that you
are in earnest, and that your mind is whol
ly engaged on subjects to which I have
paid no attention. It greatly pleases me
to find that you are not deranged nor
gloomy. A compliance, said Philander,
with the counsel a of the wisest of mon, when
moved by the Holy Spirit he gave the
conclusion of all his observations, and ex
perience can be no evidence of derange
ment, nor can it lead to misery. Comply
with his counsel, my beloved friend, aud
you shall be forever blesaed.—He says,
• let us hear the conclusion of the whole
matter; tear God and keep his command
men's ; for this is the whole duty of man ;
for God will bring every work into judge
ment, with every secret thing, whether it
be good or evil.”
