I LATEST NEWS. \
J Washington City, April 8.
IT has been remarked, that there is
ho flattery in the praise of an enemy.
Iff fame refpt&s rival nations are al
ways the enemies of each other; and
the sentiment of enmity is particular
ly felt by the nation which is most in
juriously affected by the rivalry. En
gland stands in this relation to the U.
States, under existing circumftartces.
When to these are added the impres
sions madq by our conflict for inde.
pchdence, which are not yet effaced,
it is not surprising that this feeling,
however reprehensible, should be kill
kept alive. Still this very nation, as
well by the ads of its government as
by the voice of the people, speak in
terms of unequivocal approbation of
the measures of our government. It
is not long since the minister of that
couptry, in the House of Commons,
declared his sense of the enlightened
and virtuous policy of the govern,
merit of the United States, and the last
public prims from that country cor
roborate the opinion avowed by the
^minifter.
In our last paper we inferred some
of these ex<ta&. Itisnot a little fe
r triable that theapprobation bestow-
W OToui goveioTOcni is ror .note vc-f
ry meafuies which the republicans
have invariably represented as the
most falmary & expedient, and which
the federalifts have denounced as the
most pernicious and impolitic.
These are—
A preservation of Peace.
A diminution of national expendi.
ture and of public burthen.
An economical difburfemeot of the
public money.
A protection of the fruits of honest
induftry.'
A correction of public abuses.
Public tranquility unimpaired for a
moment, and not a human life loft for
the gratification of ambition or the
lust of power.
Thefeare the precious acknowl
edgements of the English prints. If
there be a fceptic in the afeendant
prosperity of this over any other na
tion with which we are acquainted, we
ask him to regard these u prejudiced
acknowledgements, & to weigh them
in the scales of truth, those who
possess the feelings which true repub
lican principles inspire, need not that
confirmation which is borrowed from,
the opinions of others. They can
survey the whole civihfed world, and
while they deplore the splendid mise
ry of its inhabitants, only find conso
lation in fixing their attention on the
asylum which liberty has here found,
and Contrasting in honest exultation,
the empire which she has raised with
the proudest empires of the East.-

A letter said to have been written
by the President of the United States
to the President and Secretaries ofthe
National Inftlcute of France, was late
ly given in this as in some other pub
lic papers. The original, written in
English,appears to have been tranflat
edinto French, and re-translated into
English. We are enabled now to
give a correct copy of the original.
Citizens President & Secretaries,
I have received the letterwherein you
have been pleased to announce to me
that the National Institute of Sciences
arid Arts had ekaed me a foreign as
sociate for the class of moral and po
litical feiences; and I receive it with
that fenfibily which such an expression
of refped from a body of the firft or
der of science is calculated to inspire.
Without pretenfionsjo those qualifi
cations which might do justice to the
appointment, I accept it as an evi
dence ofthe brotherly spirit of science
which unites into one family all its
votaries of whatever grade, and how
ever widely dispersed through the dif
ferent quarters of the globe.
Accept, CitizensPrefident and Se
cretaries, for yourfelv es and associates
the assurance ofhigh consideration and
refreH. Th: Jefferson.
Wajhington, Nov. 14, 1802.
Wefeel a great deal of commifferatiott
in arreftirg, b, the publication of a cor
rect copy of Mr. fefferfon's letter to the
National Institute, the labours of some of
the most diftingufhed federal prints.—
ifith the patriotic vigilance that so hon
orably ckara@rifes them, the, have be
gun without mere, either for the Preji
readers, L defeat at great length 01$
some peculiar expreflions in the letter as
taken from the English prints, not on ac
count of the ideas it conveys, butfileby on
account ofthe words used. Unfortunate
ly, however, for our learned philologies,
the cop, friticifed is an awkward trauf
tation, and the original contains not one
of the phrases carped at. Whata vaf;
fund of erudition will this unlucky dis
closure lock up forever ! But for it, we
might have had essay upon essay, and
wit as bright and exhauftlefs as that 0Q
cafoned by the Mammoth cheese.

Philadelphia, April 7.
The Tory Gazette which inveighed
so qucruloufly a few evenings ago, a
bout the piracies upon its mighty la
bours—has contrived tp eke out its
drowsy and awkward columns by the
aid ofafeifors not only from English
papers of recent receipt, bur with
scraps from books grown stale—and a
bout 50 lines of heavy floundering re
marks upon the letter ofthe executive
of the U. States to the Executive of
Newyork. Great ftrets is affe&ed to
be laid on this sentiment of the presi
dent; '' Rights most essential to our wel
fare have been violated, and infraction
of treat, committed without colour of pre
text'— But when was this denied, or
rather when was this not asserted ? It
is not the firft time, nor the firft public
document in which this violation of
treaty has been asserted) it was offi
cially asserted and represented in dis
patches to Spai#, long before the agi
tators had thought upon their plan of
operations, or even before fames Ross
had takemhis feat fo^ the last time in
the Senate. The fame sentiments
