War. They are both dated St. Felipe, Dec. 7.—
The first gives an account of an attempt made by

fort, but with no better `success. The loss on both

" DEAR BARLOW,—Qn the 2d inst. I wrote you
duplicates, inclosing, a request of our' Academy of'
Arts, to have a whole7length portrait of the bm-
peror, by Gerard: you will have. the goodness to
pay attention to it. There seems now to be no
doubt that Mr. Madison's election is secure, and
the probability is, we shall have war all next
summer ; which, and the successes of France in'
ituvisia, will, I hope, give you an opportunity of.
doing something popular for M. The'projcct
now, be with some to set Armsvong up for the
next Presidential election ; for all north and east'
of the Paternal agree, that the next President
should not be a Virginian,'—bence they will be
looking out for a.northern .than; and if things
turn up fortunate, I know of. no ope so likely to
attract public attention as our old' frieiyl Babasi-
'die, for his' talents are acknowledged by all ; his
amiable privategood qualities are also understood;
and some prejudices, arising, its you know, from
his unguarded letters, may be overcoine:" I will
therefore give him my aid; and if you second my
motion, you must not be inactive, and give him
yqpraid also.
