'given 'rise.
TO say the truth, we rather expeaed that a fa-
luny who take advantage 61:,'"the,proteeliggi 'which
they enjoy in one Country to employ their capital
in commercial speculations in •two others deeidedly
hostile to it, would have prudently withdrawn from
view, on the present occasion and in this we were
disappointed. For fhe rest, we have always torsi-:
dered any solitary burSt of feeling, to which the
known, and inveterate habits of Sir F. BARING might
give vent, as ,of too little consequence to occupy
much of a 'Paper, deVoted, like ours, to objects of
real importance. We therefore contented ourselves
with giving his !miserable toast in his own words,
and adding, from. the comment of the Morning
Chrolicle, that "itsWifs considered as a gross insult
'on the company, and received 'with" a load and utii
vernal hiss." Here we left it; little'sbliCitous -what
tgratttude Mr. JEFFERSON (if, ilk philosophy
.'hare
left him any,gratitude) might feel tor his zeal, and
'not itippdsing that any other person would waste a
second thought on the subject: But.we have been
mistaken : Mr. A. ,8., or, as he sometimes appears
2t. full, Mr. ANTI-BIPArANNICIJS, has prevailed on
the Morning ChrOniele to soften his statement of the
condutt of Sir F. BARING, to palliate'its folly, and,
in seine measure, to recall his censures : this, toge-
ther with an epitre larnzoyante from the Baronet,
who seehis
,have' persuaded himself that there are
people.in this Country who , care What America.
or her "President think of him and his toasts, has
prodbced such a number of attacks, replications,,de7.
fences, &C.- that what we thought Wonitl.scarcely.
have furnished matter for an ale'-house debate,is .
danger of becoming, we know not why, a subjeta.
of grave and formal coutroversy .
Notwithstanding the insinuation of our Corte-
Spondent frOm 'America-square, 'we really kept an
eye on what was passing (futile. as it. appeared),
and:More than once attempted to
.collea from the
mass .o€-discordant Materials such an account as our_
reputation for veracity would justify us in laying be-;
fore our Readers—not of-the toast-=not of the gene-
ral reprobation with which it' was received--;,b%tof
the:animadversions- on this itnpruknt, attenipt to
surprise the .unsuspeczting hilarity 'of the company.
In these, however, we tailed, and were now on
''the pomt'of renouncing our inquiries, when we were
agreeiibly surprised by the receipt of the following
Letter trout Mr. 11. A. an American Merchant, who
.was riresent at the Meeting, and to whorn we had
personally applied, without success, a few days
before:
